Chapter 13
Triffany woke up the next morning with a slight headache, she gently opened her eyes and was surprised, she looked at the room. "Where am I?"
She sat up from the bed immediately, she looked left and right holding her head gently.
The room was wide and the bed was big and spacious and looked wealthy, the place was like one she does see in movies.
"It looks like a big mansion." She muttered under her breath. She remembered she had drunk alcohol last night, she lifted the quilt to check her underwear.
She was still wearing them, okay she was safe she thinks to herself. She has to find out where she was.
Triffany came down from the bed. She picked her phone up and was shocked at the miss calls she got from her parents. "Oh my god!" She exclaimed. "I'm dead today."
She hurriedly wore shoes and picked up her handbag and ran out of the room.
She went downstairs to behold a big mansion, she looked around and was shocked. "Wow! Who could be the owner of this mansion, how could a house have many corners and rooms...where could be the main entrance." She thought out loud.
"The lobby on the right." A voice from upstairs responded.
Triffany who was looking for the entrance heard it. "Oh...the lobby on the right..." She said walking in the direction but stopped.
Where could that voice come from, she had heard someone's voice, she turned and looked up to see Carlos Zack watching her from upstairs. "What are you doing there!?" She asked surprised to see him there.
She has recognized him from that rude jerk she met on the road who was causing a ruckus on the news.
Carlos walked down the stairs with his hands in his pocket. "You should ask yourself that question." He told her.
Triffany furrowed her brow. "You want to start another scandal!" She yells at him.
Carlos scoffed and looked at her, her hair was a mess and she had drool on the corner of her lips. "You should be thanking me for saving your life and bringing you to a safe place, instead of leaving you vulnerable to danger." He told her.
"I never asked you to help for a start." Triffany sighed. She couldn't remember anything from last night anyway.
Carlos walked past her and sits down on his chair opening a newspaper. "Leave my house if you've sobered up." He told her coldly.
Triffany rolled her eyes at him and sighed. "You rich people are all asshole!" She told him.
Carlos looked at her, don't she remember anything from last night, how she clingy to him and even kissed him, he scoffed, she was the asshole.
Triffany smoothen her hair and then looked at him. "Can you do me a favour?" She asked.
Carlos smirked, this girl was unbelievable, just now she called him a psycho and now asking for a favour. He looked at her. "Now you're asking for a favour."
Triffany looked at him with knotted brow. "Don't get ahead of yourself. Please next time you see me in danger, don't help me. Cause just a glance of you to make me hat you ten times more." She told him
Carlos seems pissed he kept the newspaper and looked at her coldly. "Now that's it. Get the hell out of my mansion!" He told her pointing at the exit.
Triffany sighed. "You don't have to say it twice, I'm already leaving." She walked out of the door cursing him and the house under her breath.
Gabby who has been watching this scene from upstairs clapped her hands and comes downstairs. "Nice drama Carlos. Wow, I should have taken a video of this scene. I can't wait to see how to hit up this house would be after your marriage."
Gabby laughed and shake her head happily. "I will keep watching endless dramas. Nice shot brother." She gave him a thumb up with a wink.
"You're so annoying Gabby!" Carlos told her before walking out.
...
Triffany went to her working place, she went into the restaurant and saw the lady who employs her.
She gave Triffany an envelope. "Here."
Triffany looked at it. "What is this?" She asked looking up at the lady.
"Your payment for yesterday's work. You're fired!" She told her.
Triffany looked up surprised. "I'm so sorry. I made a mistake last night and for coming late this morning." Triffany apologizes.
The lady looked at her. "Triffany I don't need a person who jokes with my time. Just leave." She told her and walked away to attend to customers.
Triffany walked out of the restaurant. "So much for my new job." She told herself. "That man is bad luck, whenever I meet him bad things always happens, I hope he has a bad day today too." She cursed Carlos.
She called Allison who picked up immediately. "Hello, Triffany are you okay? Where have you been? "What happened last night? Why did you not return home?" Allison asked without hesitation in one breath.
"Hey, Allison chill!" Triffany told her, the question was too much for her to answer. "I'm okay, but not really. I got fired just now." Triffany pouts.
"Why?" Allison asked in surprise.
"Bad luck!" Triffany to her in one word. "Where are you now?" She asked.
"I'm at home. Where else should I be?" Allison asked in response.
"Can you meet me at my house? I've got gist for you." Triffany said.
Allison hesitated before responding. "Now you have considered me visible right?"
Triffany knew her cousin was offended. "I'm sorry. That was just a duty call." She apologized.
"Apologies accept but you have to buy me dinner okay," Allison told her and they both laughed.
