Unknown number

One certain day, I was in my room watching a movie on my phone when I suddenly got a phone call from a strange number. At first I didn't want to pick up because most calls like this were usually scammers or hack calls and I didn't want my phone or account to be hacked, so what I did was disconnect the call. Then my phone rang again. And again. And again.
But I kept ignoring the calls.
For some moments, it didn't ring again and I smiled. Probably the scammer didn't want to waste time on me. Just as I was still rejoicing over that fact, my phone rang again and it was the same number. Aggressively, I picked up the phone and said,
Hey, scammer. What is it you want? Don't you get tired? You've called several times and I didn't pick your calls. Doesn't that tell you that I have found out already what your plan is? When you're done talking, come to my room, a deep, familiar voice said on the other line.
It sounded like Sebastian's. But he clearly told me in the rules and regulations that I wasn't to go anywhere near or inside of his bedroom. Why the sudden change of heart? Maybe it was someone else.
Maybe someone else was trying to call their fiancée or wife and by mistake called my number instead. It happens at times. I just moved on with what I was doing initially and didn't pay mind to what the person on the phone had just told me.
Then again, my phone rang again with the same number appearing on the screen. I grunted frustratingly and heaved a sigh before picking up the call. I didn't know who this was and what they wanted but Ill let them know whats on my mind. Hey I was saying but got cut off.
Jasmine, I need you in my room in the next 10 seconds or you might not like what I would do next, the voice said and this time, I was convinced that it was Sebastian.
I rose up from my bed, wore my slippers, walked out the door and made my way to the door two doors to my left, which happened to be his room. I knocked on the door and walked in. I was shocked at how big his room was. It had blue carpet, black curtains, and blue couches at the corner of the room.
The bedcover used was black in colour and the drawings of a lion roaring on it. I was so fascinated by how the colours blended well and gave the room an exquisite look. I didn't realize Sebastian was standing right in front of him until my eyes met his and I jumped in fright.
You called me, I said, but sounding more like a question.
And you decided to take the whole time in the world to answer me? he snapped.
Well, in my defence, it was an unknown number. I didn't have that number saved on my phone so I was scared it was one of these scammers. Secondly, you didn't say it was you. If you did, it would have made it even better but you didn't. I don't go round picking up calls from unknown numbers immediately, I answered.
The look on Sebastian was funny and I couldn't but hold back my laughter. He looked at me like I had grown a second head. I was so engrossed in my speech that I didn't even realize he wasn't putting on a shirt. His abs was popping out on his chest and something in me wanted to feel them. I was shamelessly checking him out and I knew I shouldn't be but I couldn't help it. I felt my heart racing and stomach tingling at the same time. It was like my heart was running a race. I felt butterflies in my stomach.
No, Jazz. No. you cant be falling for him. He's a playboy, a total jerk, a pain. You cant be falling in love with Sebastian, of all people, I thought to myself.
Like what you see? he asked with a smirk on his beautiful face.
Oh my god! What is going on with me? Did I just call his face beautiful? Those abs have surely twisted my head. I cant possibly be complimenting Sebastian of all people. I would rather compliment DJ Swiss than compliment Sebastian. And trust me when I say DJ Swiss is my worst artiste.
You wish, I responded, rolling my eyes and his demeanour changed immediately.
I couldn't help but smile. I guess he wasn't used to someone not complimenting his great body.
Anyways, what was it you called me in here for? I can remember vividly that you mentioned it in the rules and regulations that I wasn't permitted to be here in this room. That was exactly one of the reasons I didn't believe it was you on the line when you asked me to come in here. So I guess it must be a very important thing you want to tell me that you had me break your rule and regulations, I said.
I didn't want to get distracted by his awesome body so I just glued my eyes on his face. I was so embarrassed he caught me checking him out and I'm glad he didn't push further so I would try every means possible to avoid bringing that up again.
My company is holding a charity event next week Friday and I have to bring you there. Normally, I wouldn't but my parents would be there too and I wouldn't want them to bother me with questions so I would have to take you along with me. So, Ill give you my credit card so you could go shopping and get what you'd need for the event, he said, stretching out his card.
I felt insulted.
I felt insulted because he thought of me as a mere escort, someone who would follow him to events only when his parents would be present. I felt hot tears threatening to roll down my cheeks.
Why didn't you come up with a lie since you dont want to go with me? You should have lied and then go solo to the event, I replied. I would have loved to but my parents wouldn't believe me.
They would have known something was up, especially when they know who I am and how we don't love each other, he answered. Besides, I wouldn't want to go solo to an event especially when I have girls at my beck and call. So, would you just take this card and go get a dress or something, he replied, sounding very pissed.
Don't worry, Mr King. I am very well capable of buying my own clothes myself, I replied and walked out of the room.
I swallowed back my tears and walked into my room. I pulled my phone out of the back pocket of my trousers and looked for Sebastian's number. I saw the strange number and saved it with Rude Jerk.
After that was done, I came out almost immediately when I realized that it was almost time for dinner so I had to help Selena and Mae prepare it. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. I smiled at Mae and her mother and washed my hands at the sink. Selena had given up trying to stop me from joining them in the kitchen. She knew I would never listen thus she just permits me do what I want
I assisted in washing the vegetables and cooking the food. I also taught Selena and Mae some of the key recipes we use at the restaurant. Soon, an aroma wafted across the room and I couldn't help but inhale the mouth-watering aroma. I helped them set the dining and had Selena call on Sebastian.
She went upstairs to call him like I had sent her to but came back saying Sebastian requested for his food to be brought to him in his room. I was somewhat happy-sad. Happy that I wouldn't get to see his face for the rest of the day and I couldn't really tell why I was sad.
She took his food to his room while I ate as the whole house was silent. If a pin dropped to the ground, I'm certain everyone in the mansion, no matter where they were would hear the sound of the pin.
I was through with my meal so I went back up to my room and decided to take a long shower. I pulled off my clothes, wrapped a towel around my chest and put on my shower-slippers. I walked into the bathroom and switched on the shower.
I washed my hair and body thoroughly. After I was done, I exited the bathroom and got changed into my PJ's. I slipped under the covers of my bed and close my eyes. I fell asleep almost immediately.
"Grnnnng..." My alarm rang the next morning and I slammed my hand down on it. The noise from the alarm clock was too loud for my delicate ears. I dragged the blankets off my body, dragged my feet to the bathroom and did my normal morning routine. I came out of the bathroom and sauntered into my walk-in closet.
I had to dress smart to work today. I pulled out a sky-blue silk blouse and a black straight skirt. I wanted to look professional today because an important client was coming to meet with us today concerning a huge party he wanted to throw in our hotels hall.
He wanted to throw a surprise wedding anniversary party for his parents and our hall was recommended to him by one of our long time clients. I want him to take us serious, hence the professional dressing after all, it is said that the way you dress is the way you'll be addressed.
I applied my body lotion and makeup before putting on my clothes carefully so I wouldn't smudge my makeup. I wore my black Platform heels and checked myself one more time on the vanity mirror before picking up my bag and car keys.
I exited the room and walked downstairs. I wanted to have breakfast but on checking the time, I saw that I didnt have enough time to sit for a breakfast. I would just have my breakfast at the restaurant our hotel.
I exited the mansion and walked straight to the garage. I drove my car out of the premises and headed straight for work. I got to work with few minutes to spare. The meeting was going to take place in the next 5 minutes.
I hurriedly got into my office and took a breather while waiting for the client to make his way into my office.
Soon, I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in please", I said and the person on the other side of the door made his way in.
