Chapter 12

"WHAT...the...fuck" Both of them stammered together while staring at Jeffrey
Jennifer removed her hands slowly and continued to stare at Jeffrey.
"I...can... explain" She stammered again, making her heart beat faster like someone who has been caught for doing something terrible.
"Explain what...? Am I blind? I saw you two so what is there to explain...Oh... what do you have in mind? Tell me it is not what you think? It is nice... Go ahead" Jeffrey shouted in pain for someone who just lost a woman who'll be his dream.
"I can explain... Just give me a chance" She tried to talk to Jeffrey but her boss held her hand
"There is nothing there to explain... why can't you get it... oh! Now I get it... This is the reason the boss said you quit whereas you are in his place flirting with him...I get everything now but don't worry I'm totally fine" He continued to stare at them but the boss was so quiet looking at him like a dummy.
"I..can... explain...please" She yelled again and tried to approach him but the boss refused to let go of her hand.
"You can explain... you can explain... What the fuck is even wrong with you... you have been saying that for more than twenty minutes but yet you haven't said anything... It's fine I already know the reason you didn't come to work today and why you are quiet... Wait a damn minute... if I didn't come here, that means I'll be in the dark thinking you are maybe sick but meanwhile, you are here enjoying yourself with the rich young kid" He scolded again and back aside since he has seen what he shouldn't have seen... He slowly walks aside with pains in his heart.
"Please let go of me?" She shouted at the boss but he didn't reply, he was just staring at her.
"I suspected this anyways... He's richer than me so you should be with someone who has everything in the world... Good luck to you..." He turned back and saw the smile on Jennifer's face even when he was in pain.
"Let go of me..." Jennifer yelled at the boss but he still didn't let her hands off him.
"Let go of me..." She shouted again and he quickly left her.
Jennifer turns and sees that Jeffrey has already taken a cab home... She was broken down, distressed, and felt wasted.
"What the hell is even wrong with you... why can't you let go of my hands... "She yelled at him and was tempted to use her fist but she was able to control herself.
"Why will I even do that... let's just go home" He tried walking her in but she pushed him away.
"Let go of me... can't you see I didn't have the chance to explain... What if he thinks I'm having an affair with you? " She yelled again with her eyes already swollen...She felt the pain in her heart and also felt her heart beating fast.
"What if we are having an affair?" He replied while staring at her...
"Affair? No... it can't be... oh! because you think I'm with you now, you think I'm having an affair with you... wake up, man..." She yelled again while roaming around.
"I didn't say we are into an affair but you are living in my house now... so let's just keep it that way" He tried to approach her but her mind isn't settled yet.
"Oh... this is your point now... because I lived here... "chuckle"... The fact that I'm living with you does not mean you feed me." She shouted out of anger filled with her.
"Fine... if I don't feed you then who do... and which house are you feeding now" He shouted at her and she continues to hit her head with her hands
"Ooooo... fine... damn you" she commented with a wretched look in her eye as she lost her voice.
"Find... your dinner is ready" She commented with her gloomy voice without having the vibe to talk to her boss anymore.
They both walk into the sitting room while avoiding talking to each other.
Jennifer served as the boss but didn't utter a word to him. She was standing close to him but nobody didn't even bothered to talk to anyone... The only sound in the entire house was the film playing on the television.
"Why didn't you bring me water to drink... oh... you want to kill me now... I think you have lost your mind tonight... be very careful" The boss provoked and immediately Jennifer left his presence and offered him a glass of water without saying anything.
He kept on staring at her expecting her to say something but she didn't even feel like saying anything... I guess she is upset because of Jeffrey... That low boy that can't afford anything, even a car for himself.
"Are you not eating tonight?" He asked her but the look she gives to him is enough to say she's not interested.
"Are you not sitting down?" he sneezed out loud but she still didn't reply to him.
Jennifer didn't know what to say to him or do, so she went to the couch and watched the film she was watching before the boss came in.

"I hate this life... look at someone who I have an interest in... Why does she have to do this to me at this very moment... I first sight my eyes on this girl but now look at what I get in return" Jeffrey sobbed in tears as his body tears apart.
This world is only made for the rich...she must know I have an interest in her but why did she have to do this to me.
The fact that I haven't proposed my feelings doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing... I only wanted her to be my partner... yes... we'll have a nice talk in the office... yes... share secrets and fall in love... But why... why... This boss is so wicked... He even stops her. working because he wants to make use of her... is he not wicked... if there is any way to pay him back, I'll. I promised.
I even don't know why I'm bothering myself... she is not beautiful but I don't know why my heartbeat for her... Now, look at what I have caused myself... I might even lose my job because of her...
Please, Lord... don't let the boss sack me... I can't bear starting all over again. you know how long I've searched for work and now I just got into a scene with my boss...
' Because of who?' My inner voice questioned me.
Damn... because of that girl... I can't bear fighting over a girl when my job is at stake... Lord, please hear my prayer but I won't stop fighting... I'll get that girl if my heart continues to beat for her...Don't worry Jeffrey... She's yours.
How did that girl and the boss get so close all of a sudden... where was i... but after that day at the market, I haven't seen both of them discuss... Mere...this is trash... I can't even bear what is coming out of my mouth anymore...
it's late but I can't feel my stomach anymore... damn... I'm hungry but have no appetite to eat.. What is even happening... Tomorrow will be another stressful day for me... will I even be able to go to work because of what happened tonight... damn... I'm screwed and I'm sacked already.
Jeffrey throws off his shirt and trousers on the floor... his mind and heart are already broken tonight. He walked slowly to the bathroom and was so scared of pouring cold water on him.
Although his bathroom isn't like that of the CEO he enjoyed his life. He stared at the water continuously and was afraid to touch a dim light on it.
"Ouch....." He screamed and ran out of the bathroom with his nakedness.
"Damn... it's so cold..." He commented and walked slowly again into the bathroom.
"Please water... don't ruin my night okay... I'm here to take a good bath so please be nice to me" He illuminated and continued to stare at the water.
He used a bowl and collected some water but was unable to pour it on himself.
"Wow! I never knew you were this wonderful" He smiled after pouring the water on himself. He was able to finally take his bath and use his local bathrobe on himself.
He went out of the bathroom and looked at the mirror beside it.
"Jeffrey... look at you... you are a handsome dude... look at your beards... Damn... I'm so cute but that little brat keeps styling for him...Anyways it's her choice. I'll become more handsome when I finally have enough money for myself. " He praised himself while staring at the reflection of himself in the mirror...
"I'm feeling sleepy...I don't want to think about that girl anymore, please... Jeffrey, please sleep well okay" He jumped on his bed and remembered he hadn't worn anything.
"Damn...am I supposed to sleep like this? " He remembered and asked himself...
He stood up sluggishly and walked to his wardrobe... The sleep in his eye is already taken over him and all he remembered was taking a banana boxer from his wardrobe before he passed out

"Jennifer... I'm sorry but don't you think you should eat something before going to bed" The boss apologized but she still didn't reply...
Jennifer stood up and headed back to her room where she sat at the chair close to her door.
"Why is my boss like this? Just let me explain to my partner, he didn't let go of me... now what next... I can't see him again and even talk to him again? I'm tired... this maid job isn't interesting anymore." She voices out everything in her room.
"I don't even know why Jeffrey followed the boss... What do the two of them get into... This is strange... why were his eyes red when he saw us, not that he had feelings for me or I had feelings for him. This is confusing... Now he wants me to come and apologize to him... someone that is not even handsome... damn.. he's a joker... of all the ways he scolded me in the office, he saw me with the boss but talked as if he wanted to cry... I knew it... he's a joker" Jennifer smiled at the funny moments.
' What should I do now? Go and apologize to him? No. For what? I didn't do anything wrong... if I apologized, he'll think I'm having feelings for him...I'm not doing shit...He should fuckoff... he's rude anyway but I did something wrong... why didn't I inform him that I'm not coming to work anymore... Anyways it's your fault... it's this boss fault ' My inner voice accompanies me as I sleep off in the chair with my hands in my jaw...
"Is this girl not coming out to eat tonight?" The boss questions himself and walks slowly to her room.
He found out that she's sleeping while forcing herself not to fall.
He slowly grabbed her in his arms like his princes and placed her on the bed.
Staring at her, her sticky messy brown hair was attached to her wet face.
Her face was wet due to the fact that she was already sweaty despite the fact that there was air conditioning that was turned on.
I slowly brought my hands forward, not that I wanted to but suddenly got the impulse to place my hands forward as I removed some string of hair and placed it back of her ear.
Staring at her sleepy beautiful baby face, I got the impulse to lean closer to her lip. I brought my hands which were already placed in her hair and slowly brought them down and used my index finger to Pierce her lip.
Damn... her lip looks so sexy, hot, and intoxicated. I felt my heartbeat growing wild and felt my ear was about to explode due to the loud sound of my heartbeat.
I don't know if I was possessed with spirit but I felt myself leaning close to her because I wanted to taste these beautiful pink baby lips.
I was about to kiss her lips but then she shut her eyes wild open.
"What are you doing?" She opens her eyes like a zombie as if she wanted to Pierce my soul.
