Chapter 20

Jennifer POV.
I'm tired of everything...look at me... I have been insulted because of this by my so-called boss... how I wish I could do something and disappear from his house...I'm tired and frustrated... today... he'll be so nice to me... tomorrow, he'll start changing... look at it... he told me he's falling for me already and the next night, he's busy sleeping with another lady... What all this... I hate it... I can't believe I fell for all of this... I'm tired.
' I told you... don't fall, this man, but you refused. Now you have to suffer the pain yourself because I'm not here to help you '. Even my inner voice is tired of me as I continue to count the number of the ceiling with my eye.
To be honest... I'm frustrated... I can't even think straight anymore... Morning, afternoon, night... All I do is think...
Fucking tired of myself...I can't even get the fuck off my bed right now... come to think of it... because I'm poor, everybody thinks to intimidate me... Anyway, I didn't blame them... it all started when I was a kid... Oh... my mum... I pray she's doing great in her work...I hope she's still alive... lord keeps her safe for me until I find all the solutions to my problem...
That ugly girl... someone who I'm even cute that is telling me pm stays away from my man... Why does Dean even have to tell me his feelings when he already has a girlfriend... This is frustrating... I know his mum must-knows about this and yet she still pretends to be nice to me...
"Chai... rich people... I know maybe he'll still propose to me and marry on my back overnight... Yes... it happened...he just told me he thinks he's falling for me and I know he already has a girlfriend..." I murmured to myself in pain still on my bed thinking of what to do with my life...
I hate this house...next thing... he'll come to me and beg for forgiveness if he knows I'm angry with him but this time, I promised never to listen to him...
"Yes...I won't give him a chance to even say a word to me anymore...I'm here to be a maid and nothing else... Now I'm strict about working alone...I promise not to interfere in a love affair again" I whisper to myself as I struggle to get my ass off my bed...
I slowly walked toward my mirror where I admired myself and sat on the chair.
Just look at me... damn... beautiful girl... this Dean is playing with my feelings, anything... it has ended... I pray he doesn't call my name when I head downstairs...or... should I just stay in my room... At least since last night, no one has asked after me... yes... it's better this way... but... what if I'm hungry? How'll I eat... I'll still go downstairs...damn... everything is messed up...
Look at Jeffrey... someone who can't pay my bill was discussing feelings... Chuckle... at first, I thought he was drunk but it later turned to be serious...it's funny... he has been cold and rude to me... he shouts at me every day and makes me hate the company because of his attitude... I even managed to talk to him yesterday and he was just singing... I missed you... when did that play start... Or when has he ever talked to me nicely at work... I'm gone now... everybody is trying to act well on me... The painful part is even about the feeling... He's not handsome, talks less of bills...Someone who's still managing to feed himself... he even made mention of moving in with his mother... I know he's broke and that's why he moved...
He doesn't know I'm smarter enough to know everything... Me...Jennifer...It is funny...I don't believe Jeffrey will say such a word to me... oh... now I get it... He and the dean are the same types of people... playing with girls' feelings... Fucking funny... anyway...thank God I quickly back out... if not, maybe by now, I will be drowning in the blood of tears.
Funny people everywhere...Most... especially Jeffrey... wait a minute... so he expects me to say I love him back... funny... It's funny how people want what they expect...Anyway... he's not handsome enough to consider but this Dean... if only I knew I have you like this, I would have not been staying with you... You just spoiled my hate for this house...
I need to focus on my life but I don't want people like this to play with my feelings...Anyway... it's all over now... I need to get myself a handsome man that will be able to pay my bills.
You know when I bounce into my mum's house with our cars, she'll be shocked to know where I get this kind of man from...
This Dean, never... I'll never marry him and if I had the opportunity to run out of this house, I'd do it right away... I'm only respecting his mother since she's not always around to do this maid thing for her son.
Damn...I'm hungry already...what all this... just this morning, my stomach has to start disturbing...since I came to this house, the only thing I benefit from is food... Just food...At least it's a good thing... After all the insults, I'll still use their food to calm myself down...
Oh...how do I even go downstairs now... they might even be waiting for me right now...I can't... I should stay here a little...
'Damn... did I want to eat without brushing my teeth... Oops... how did I forget about this ' I murmured to myself and ran into the bathroom.
"Dean.... don't worry...I'll treat you the way you treat me... it's a promise and I'll fulfill it myself" I talk slowly as my toothbrush was already in my mouth...
"Oh...Who is calling me again... " I quickly watched my mouth and ran out from the bathroom... Reaching my cell phone, it is an unknown number.
"Hey...please who is this," I asked calmly and rudely.
"Hey, it's me, your friend... Jeffrey" I can feel his happiness when we are not close.
"Hey...Jeffrey" My voice weakened.
"What is it? How come you got my number and why are you calling me so early?" I asked rudely again as I don't feel like talking to him because he always ruins my day.
"You know... I went to your mum's shop yesterday and she's doing great... I helped her with selling some kind of provision and she likes me..." he smiled and was about to laugh as if he just did something great.
"You did what?" I asked rudely.
"My mum! Hope you did not tell her about me...Because if you do...I'll kill you..." I became angrier and how I wished he wasn't close to me... I could have shown him what I'm capable of.
"You...No... we didn't talk about you but are you sure you are still on good terms with your mum or you hate her," he asked in curiosity as his voice lowered when he was talking.
"No... it's fine...Can I end the call now... it's too early for this" I asked feeling relieved since he didn't tell her anything.
"No...I called just to apologize because of yesterday... you know... you don't love me...but... I'll still like us to meet....please... the fact that you don't love me doesn't mean we can't see" His voice became smoothened and I have never seen Jeffrey talk like this.
"Yeah...I made it clear... I don't love you so why do we want to see?" I yelled out as I drew my phone backward because my yelling might block his eardrum.
"I'm sorry for everything but you should at least forgive me... I don't like the way you used to raise your voice lately" He continued to talk calmly as if he was ever calm.
"Damn... what is it you don't get... Talking to you right now is a waste of time...Bye I'm hanging up..." I yelled again and was about to end the call until he said wait.
"Wait... fine... if you can't forgive me, I'm sorry...I'll have to tell your mum everything about you..." He threatened with boldness as I became scared for a minute and refused to talk.
'Oh...what kind of problem is this...I hate this life ' I grumble to myself in silence...
"Fine... I'm sorry for raising my voice and I have forgiven you" I quickly ended the call before further questions may be attached to it.
I have always hated that boy... so quick... he is already close to my mum... He's useless anyway... I know he won't tell her but I just have to tell him so he can rest and stop disturbing me...Wait... he will continue...
'Oh my Gosh,' I slapped myself on my forehead with my fist as I walked downstairs.
"Hi... I've been waiting for you all along... Goodmorning" Dean smiled as I looked at him with arrogance in me.
'What is this man doing right now... this is the reason I don't want to come down, ' I whisper to myself as I walk past him with boldness...
"Good Morning sunshine" He yelled and smiled while shining his teeth on me again.
I didn't even look at him but walked straight to the kitchen.
"Hi... honey... Look at me" He held me around my waist with his two hands.
"What is wrong with you?" I pushed him and slapped him hard.
"No need to be angry... I searched for you all over the community but I didn't see you... I missed you baby" He was acting nice as I continued to stare at him while holding my hand.
"Common babe... say something..." He walks close to me and continues to rub my cheek with his two hands.
"Don't lie to me...Don't you miss me too" He asked and immediately I got pissed off?
"Get your hands off me" I yelled and pushed him hard at him even hitting his back on the shelf.
"Haaaa. " He yelled.
'Just a lazy thing ' I whisper to myself.
"I'm sorry but you should talk to me about what is wrong... I won't lie to you... I missed you... and trust me... I'll do anything for you" The word he says continued to piss me off.
"Are you insane...why don't you go with that girl you slept with and stop disturbing my life" I yelled again while the anger in me kept beating fast.
"slept with...Who...Oh... you mean Rachel" He laughed during a serious situation like this.
"Why are you laughing... Do you think I didn't see what both of you did that night in the meeting...Stay with her and leave me alone" I screamed while he continued to laugh, making a fool out of me.
"You are funny... Rachel is just a business partner and I'll never cheat on you or even have the boldness to...You are funny... where did you get all this make-up story from..." He began again to laugh even more and for a moment, I didn't know what to say.
"make-up story... I saw you two and you just mentioned a business partner? Oh... just like you told her I'm just your maid... I get it... you are a player Dean... you are a player and I hate you for this...I have vowed never to talk to you again" I tried walking away but he held my hands while laughing harder.
"I love your actions but seriously... I didn't tell Rachel you are just my maid... she even asked me to go on a vacation with her but I refused to... I won't lie to you... and again... I haven't cheated on you... Rachel is just my business partner and I don't have feelings for her" He stopped me and talked more maturely making me feel now is important but I still don't care...
"Ok... go for her... I'm not interested" I tried walking out again but he held my hand tightly.
"Wait... were you jealous?" He continued to titter again and didn't let go of my hand.
"Take... get ready to change...we are going out..." He positioned a bag in my hand and left the kitchen.
'What kind of man is this?' I murmured while holding the bag without looking at what was in it.
