Chapter 12

MY BOSS AND I
*He is cold but I'm humorous*


Damian's Pov

"I told you those guys will come after you. Samson go check if someone is there. And you Jacinta, do you believe me now?" I ask and she is nodding so quickly in agreement.

"Then you have to move in with me to be safe" I say and it sounds like I'm begging her to move in with me.

"But what about Stella? Isn't she your girlfriend?" She asks and keeps looking around scared.

"You won't understand but Stella only comes to my father's house. I will take you to my real house. No one can harm you from there" I assure her

"But I have a small sister to take care of and aunt Saira needs me too" she says

She is giving a lot of excuses for real.

If she still doesn't want my help she can just go.

"I'm not forcing you Jacinta but I don't want you and your family to blame me for anything coz I'm sure these men will still come after you" I tell her and I open my car's door to drive her home.

Samson comes back.

"I haven't seen anyone but it sure looks creepy boss" he says and gets in the car.

"It's not like I'm refusing but what about my family? They have to be safe too" she says and I get her point.

"We can send your sister to a boarding school and about your aunt, I don't think the bad guys will go after her since they just want someone close to me and they think you are close to me" I tell her and I think she still has some doubts.

"I just don't want you to fall into the trap of my enemies. It's not like I want to move in with you" I say and she nods

"I'll have to explain things to my family first" she says and I think she is right.

I just wonder if they will agree.

She is so stubborn like this, what about her family?

The drive is silent and I've just noticed that she still has her shoes in her hands.

The shoes are in tatters and I just remembered we had to go shopping today but the bastards attacked.

I'll have to do something about it. I don't want her to embarrass me infront of my clients again.

Jacinta's Pov

We have arrived at the end of the main road and we have to pack the car there and follow a narrow route to my home.

My boss looks uncomfortable with the place but still follows with a handkerchief on his nose.

It's not even very stinky.

Just alitte smell of uncooked fish.

He thinks he is too special!

"Jacie is home! Yeay!" Yells Jessie who is coming running towards me.

She looks surprised as to why I'm with a rich man and a bodyguard.

"Is he your boyfriend?" She asks

Like why is everyone picturing us as boyfriend and girlfriend?

He is my boss! Arrogant boss!

"Shut up Jessie, he is my boss" I tell her and introduce her to Damian.

"What's your name rich guy?" She ask

My sister is just mischievous.

"Jessie please don't ask any more questions. Let's go in" I say and lead Damian in as Samson stays outside.

He says he is guarding us from outside.

I show Damian a chair to sit down but he thinks it's too dusty to sit on.

I quickly dust it off and he is sitting uncomfortably.

"I'll call my aunt from the bar. I'll be right back. Jessie, behave yourself" I tell my sister and I'm off to the bar to get aunt Saira.

Damian's Pov

They sure are poor but atleast the house isn't too dusty.

The chair I'm sitting on is a wooden one and it hurts my butt.

"Why did you come to our house yet you are so rich?" The little girl who happens to be Jessie asks me.

"I want your sister to move in with me" I say straightly.

"What? Are you planning to marry?" She asks

I bet these two sisters have the same behaviour.

"No. I don't intend to marry your sister. Her life is in danger because of me, so I want to protect her by living with me" I say and I don't even know why I'm telling her all these.

"You look like a boring man but your words are sooo romantic. Just like the lines of a star in a movie. I give you permission to go with her even now, but be careful. You can protect her but you have to protect yourself more. She is hot soup in a pan" she says and I think I understand what she is trying to say.

I want to reply her but Jacinta is back with her aunt.

"Who is hot soup in a pan?" Asks Jacinta looking at Jessie hands akimbo.

"Don't start you two. We have a visitor, an elegant visitor. Welcome sir" says the aunt who looks like she is in her thirties and sits next to me.

"Thank you ma'am, I don't want to take long so I'll just go straight to the point" I start

"No need Mr boss. Jacie has just told me. What will you drink before I let you take her? It will be a pleasure to have a drink with a Merkian" she says

Wow, the three of them are crazy.

"You mean, you will let her come with me?" I ask coz it's unbelievable.

"Aunt Saira are you agreeing?" Asks Jacinta as if she dint expect that.

"My child's safety comes first. Go child, he is handsome and rich. You both have my blessings" she says as if she is getting us married.

We ain't a couple for Godsake!

I want to yell that out but they'll think I'm a lunatic.

"Go pack your bags baby go. And you young handsome man, if my baby gets hurt in any way, I won't spare you. And you must pay her full salary every month. And you have to bring her to me every weekend. And don't give her a hard time at work. And fall in love quickly, you look good together" she says and oh my these people are sick.

"Aunt! We ain't dating and we won't fall in love. When the problem is solved and we find the culprits, I will come home. Get it!" Yells Jacinta

"I get it baby, now pack and leave. Go and be successful" she says again and her behaviour is just amusing me right now.

"No need to pack. Your clothes ain't good enough anyway. We'll get new ones" I say

"What do you mean by my clothes ain't good enough?" Asks Jacinta angrily.

"Just go baby, go for the dollars. Be a good girl" says her aunt and I think I like this woman.

"I still want to get a Few of my personal things" says Jacinta pouting her lips

"I already did that for you" says Jessie who comes with a small from the room.

"Why does it feel like you guys are sending me away?" Asks Jacinta almost in tears.

"Go for the dollars baby" both Jessie and her aunt say in unison.

Wow, they like money!

Poor people anyway.

I'm just doing this coz I don't want trouble.

I can't fall In love with a low class like Jacinta.
