Chapter 8

"Hey... Where are you heading to... I need to talk to you... please come inside" Jeffrey ran to the office and saw Jennifer going out... He stopped her and begged her to wait for a while.
"Fuck... don't bother me please..." She walked into the office slowly and sat close to me... I didn't say anything to her but let her be because I've been cruel to her.
"I Kno...I know it's hard to say something like this...But...I'm sorry for the way I've treated you so far". I stammered and lowered my tune when talking to her but all I got in return was a stare.
"I'm sorry... Honestly, I don't know what is going on with you lately but since the first day you came...I have been rude to now and I want to apologize for everything". I continued to plead with my low tune and she kept staring at me.
"What is this all about". She asked why staring at me continuously and this is making me nervous.
"You see...I'm rude, arrogant and also friendly but I've never been friendly to you but I promised from today on words, I'll try my best to keep you at home" she keeps staring at me and my inner voice whisper to me ' Use this opportunity to ask her out... look at how romantic your voice is at this particular moment... you can never get this kind of voice again... Ask her out...'
"Please...Do you..t...." I tried to complete my statement but my lips refused to move anymore making me use my fist and hit my head damn hard.
"What's Wrong with you?"She asked why trying to get up from her chair but I quickly told her to stop with my finger.
"Please, anything I say now, don't take it personally... I went out to play with the gateman and he told me everything... I'm sorry" I whisper to her, yet still with my romantic voice...
"He did what?" she yelled at me
"What the fuck is wrong with that man now... can't he keep something a secret... damn it... I'm screwed... Fuck you... fuck the gateman... fuck everybody's in this company" She yelled again at me and this made me stand up from my chair...
"I'm sorry... honestly I don't know what..." I tried to talk to her but she interrupted me with her shout.
"Get out... I hate you... So now that you know my story... you came to apologize... If you didn't know my story, you wouldn't say anything to me... Oh! So this means you'll continue to be rude to me? Damn you... I hate you and I'll never stop saying that word" She yelled at me again and this time I turned my face backward and pretended I didn't hear a word.
"I'm sorry... All I'm begging for is your forgiveness... Humans make mistakes and I'm one of those humans who makes a lot of mistakes... I've come to you with a clean mind and soul... please forgive me..." I walked close to her with my cool romantic voice and tried to hug her to at least cool her temper.
"Get your hands off me... You know what...The manager even called me before you entered and now I'm here listening to all the rubbish that came out from your mouth... You know what I'm leaving... how to wish I never met you and how to wish I never work with you". She pushed me away so hard that I almost hit my head on the wall...Thank God I am a strong man...if not, maybe by now, the story will be different.
She left with anger and I know her eyes are covered with tears but I can't see it... How will I be able to cope now with someone who is not willing to talk to me anymore...
"Should I join her to visit the manager?"
"What if things got bad because of me over there" Jeffrey whispered to himself while staring at the window as if there was a movie there.
"No... let me wait for her here... Oh, I even forgot I still had work to do... Anyways, it's business time now... Jeffrey focuses" I hit my head and make sure I'm ready to type now... I opened the laptop and for a minute I wanted to think about what had just happened but thank God I quickly got over it.

"Sir...You called for me... I'm sorry... I was busy..." She entered the management office and spoke with a low tune while her head was facing the ground with her hands joined together.
"Don't worry... It's fine... I know you are busy, so don't worry... you will just help me do something quickly" He replied to her while flipping documents in a file as if he's looking for something.
"Damn....O....o...oh..." She stammered after staring at the man and damn...
"Are you saying anything". The man asked again while doing what he was doing
"Sir....Sir..... umm....I don't believe that..... that you work here!". She said stammering while panting at the same time.
"What did you just say..." The man asked while contemplating why that voice sounded familiar.
"You...ha..." The man looked at her and it was the girl he saw at the market the other day... This made me freeze and didn't complete his statement.
"What are you doing here," He asked again after staring at her for a bit and quickly moving away from his face.
"Umm..umm... umm" Her lip refused to open up because she just met the love of her dream... All the anger in her watched away immediately as he saw this handsome dude.
"What are you doing here". He asked again solicitously with a smile on his face but she didn't notice because he was looking sideways.
"I'm a worker here now sir..." She replied while panting and smiling a deep smile of who just fell in love... Her eyes are covered in love as all the bad memories of the day have been thrown away.
"Who employed you and how come I did not notice..." The man asked again, still confused because he had just met someone who he didn't like from the first day they met.
"The secretary did si..." The man interrupts before she completes her statement.
"Ok... Jennifer fidelix.... You will have to come this way and move this file away... I will head out, then as soon as you are done.. you can call me at the canteen, I'll be there waiting". The Manager commented and at the same time putting all the documents ready and intact...
"Sir... You don't need to be formal to me... You can call me Jenni sir... I'm fine with that when you call me the name" She replied while shining her teeth at the man... The man stared at her and wonder what was wrong with her..." How weird " He murmured to himself.
"Please come and start doing what I asked you to do..." The man stood up and was about to leave before Jennifer blocked the way.
He moves sideways and Jennifer moves sideways making both of them stare at each other.
He moved again and Jennifer too moved...
He tried again and the same with Jennifer...
"What is wrong with you? can't you wait for me to pass" He yelled at her but she keeps shining her teeth on her?
The man tried to move sideways but she block him again
"I'm sorry sir... it wasn't intentional" she whispered to him and at the same time smiled.
The man had stepped back and let her pass before he was able to pass... The girl keeps staring at him and this makes him more nervous.
"Weird girl" He whispers to himself before leaving the office and letting her do her job.
Jeffrey has been in the office thinking of what to tell his colleagues... How to create a bond within themselves so he decides to head out... maybe to see the gateman as usual.
On his way... He decides to clear his head...So I went into a restaurant to get some drinks for him and the gateman.
"Hi... I don't know you are here... What are you doing here" Jeffrey whispered to the secretary as he saw her sitting down, feeling reckless...
"Are you alright". He asked again but this time, he didn't decide to visit the gateman anymore but to stay a little while with the secretary.
"Oh... Mr. Jeffrey... What are you doing here! Are you not supposed to be doing something" She was shocked to see Jeffrey so she quickly acted like she didn't hear what he was saying.
"Ma'am... I'm hungry so I decided to stop by but don't worry... my partner will be back soon... she went to meet the management as she said" Jeffrey called on the waiter to bring him a chilled bear with beef.
"Do you drink... I can buy you also..." He asked the secretary but she nodded her head to him.
"You know drinking is not good for the body..." She whispers to him with her smooth romantic voice.
"Yeah... I don't drink that much... I only drink when I need to clear my head... but... please don't ask me what's on my head right now... because I'm not willing to discuss it with anyone yet." Jeffrey explained while the waiter dropped the chill bear on his table... The waiter looked at the secretary and expected her to order something but the secretary didn't respond to her.
"No... I'm not asking but you should be fast in doing what you are here for... Once the CEO gets to know that you sneak out even if it is to urinate, your day is already ruined... " She whispers to him and this scares me, making me drink as fast as I can... something I haven't done once.
"Who is the CEO," He asked but she didn't reply and stood up from the chair...
In less than a minute, I am done with one bottle of drink and it is almost closing hours so there is no need to eat anyway.
I tried to walk the secretary to her office but my office had to come before her which made us part ways.
'Holy crap... Why is my Tummy itching... Fuck... I haven't eaten today? Are you serious? I haven't eaten... Why do I have to mess up already' Jennifer whisper to herself why holding her stomach going badly... Immediately, Jeffrey walks into the office but didn't say anything to her.. she was expecting him to give him food as he did earlier but Jeffrey is not himself today.
Jeffrey packs up his belongings and arranges his system before leaving the office without saying a word to her.
I stared at him...I was expecting him to say something... but no... he didn't... he just left...
' Damn it... today is a hell of a day... I can't believe I didn't eat today... What have I been doing since morning that I forgot about my stomach... Damn it... I need to finish this up before going home ' Her inner voice kept contemplating to her while she was holding her stomach and at the same time arranging the documents.
She continues to arrange the documents and her hungry stomach disappears... for a moment, she didn't feel she was hungry and she was happy for that moment even when she's alone in the office.
"Dammit... It's late already... Damn... Why do I have to mess up everything... damn, I'm going home" She stood up from the table and was happy she finished with the documents. She quickly locks the door while holding her stomach so badly.
"Ouch...I forgot to file in one document... Damn... and now my manager will be rude if I don't do it... I'm going back to file it.. yes it won't waste my time..." She headed back to the office, bent down while holding her stomach with her left hand... she couldn't walk so fast because the worm in her stomach had begun to dance.
"Thank Goodness... I'm done now... I can go home in peace..." She locked her office without arranging what she had just done... She was happy she had done everything but her stomach was still Inches...
"Fuck... Don't you s..." She bumps into someone and at first, she was angry but as she looked up, she stammered and couldn't complete her statement.
"Sorry, sir..." She replied again while staring at the handsome man
"Why are you still late by this hour?" He asked me and I tried harder not to feel hungry
"I forgot to file one of the documents you gave me but don't worry... I just did that...so I'm heading home now" She replied while smiling at the man.
"Don't worry... I'll give you a ride home... let go" His nice smooth voice makes me blush and I continue to stare at him continuously.
"S...Si...sir... Don't worry... my house is nearby" She replied while smiling at him again
"Don't worry let's just go" The man replied but this time he felt awkward because of the look from the girl.
Both of them head outside where his Range Rover car was packed.
"Please get in" He replied with the nice voice I've heard in my life.
"Do...Don't.... worry... My house is nearby... I can use my leg and in less than two minutes, I'll reach my house" She stammered and kept smiling at the handsome man.
"Are you insane... Get in, let go..." He yelled at me and I quickly open the door in less than seconds
' Look at this man... it's because you are handsome and that is why I don't want to answer you... if not... by now... the Jennifer in me could have knocked you out ' Her inner voice begins to grumble and her face changes.
"Where do you live He asked while staring at me.
"um....um...Let go...I'll tell you when we get there" She replied but he didn't say anything to her.
"Yeah... we are here... please stop me" She came down from the car while he was just staring at her.
"Where do you live?" He asked again while staring at her.
"This white house is my house... Don't worry... Bye..." She waited for the man to go but he kept staring at her.
"This house...Since when? This is my house...." He replied and I froze with my mouth open.
