Be My Wifey Or Lose Your Job

“Shutting me out, huh?.”

“Yeah. So, just get out. I need to sleep.”I replied him under the duvet.

“Well, just so you know, I’m sleeping here.. right beside you. I don’t think we should be sleeping separately from each other.”

What the?..

I yanked the duvet off my face and looked up at him with a quick glance.

“You’re joking..”I scoffed.

“Then watch me display my comedy.”

And he came beside and lie down.

This is…

“But you can’t sleep here!.”I exclaimed.

“Why can’t i?, we will be getting wed soon so..”he shrugged and turned to the other side.

Ugh!.

“Fine then.”I said, stood up and grab my phone then went out.

“Where’re you going?.”he asked but I acted as if I didn’t hear him and head towards the guest room.

**

*Morning.*

The birds chirped and the sound of a car driving out of the compound could be heard.

That should be George.

I rubbed my eyes tiredly then sat up.

I stood up and walked to the bathroom to ease myself.

Then, I walked to the tap and switched it on then sprinkled some water on my face.

I stared at myself in front of the mirror and frowned when I saw the black eye.

It really disfigured my face.

I don’t think I can go to work with this.

I walked out of the room to the other with the thought that George has went out.

I walked to the bathroom and brought out my brush then started brushing.

The door to the bathroom suddenly opened and George stepped out all wrapped in a towel around his waist showing his bare chest and water was dripping down from his hair.

What?.

I thought he went out already.

I quickly turned my face away from him.

Gosh!.

“Good morning.”

“Gosh. I thought you went out.”I said instead.

“I’m just preparing to. And why are you turning your face away?.”

“I’m not.”I scoffed.

“Yes, you are.”

He stepped in front of me and my mouth drop opened.

I covered my eyes with my hands and turned to the other side.

“You’re acting childish.”he stated.

“Childish my foot.”I replied.

“Now, will to do me the honor of walking away?.”I added.

“You have no idea how much I wanna draw you to myself and kiss you right now.”

Huh?.

“Just… go, okay?. Go and put some clothes on.”I snorted.

“There you’re shutting me off again!.”

“Just like the way you shut me off back at Paris.”I blurted out.

He paused and I heard him sigh.

“So, we’re still on that issue?.”

“If the issue is about you refusing to talk to me when I told you I was rape. Oh, yes!.”I said and uncovered my face.

“Janelle…”he tried to touch me but I moved back.

“You didn’t even comfort me.. do you even know the trauma of being raped?.”I asked and a tear slide down my cheek.

“I can read your mind right after I told you. I know you’re blaming.. criticizing me…”I sniffed in.

“No, Janelle. Listen to me. I..”

I drop the brush in my hand and walked out of the bathroom to the room.

“Janelle, please!..”he ran after me.

He soon caught up with me and he pulled me in a hug.

“I’m sorry.”he said in a croaky voice.

“I’m sorry.”he repeated again.

I sniveled then broke the hug and walked out of the room.

After George left. I went back to the room and got dressed for work.

I ate breakfast and walked out of the house.

I was heading towards the gate when a guard stopped me.

“Good morning, ma’am. Where are you going?.”he asked and I scoffed.

Where I’m I going?.

What a dumb question.

“Move out of my way, please.”I hissed and walked to the gate then tried to open it only to realize it locked.

“I have to know where you’re heading to before I can allow you out of the house.”he explained.

What the hell?.

This must be George’s doing.

“I’m going to work. So, open the gate.”

He signalled with his finger to two guys and they rushed to us.

“This is your driver. He will be driving you to wherever you’re going.”he pointed to the first guy.

“And, this, he is your personal bodyguard.”he pointed to the other.

The guys that was being introduced bowed.

I scoffed,”I guess you misheard me. I said I’m going to work. not. war. so why the hell would I need a bodyguard?.”

“It’s the orders, ma’am. You must not go out those two.” he bowed his head.

I sighed in frustration and rolled my eyes.

“Fine. But I’m going with no guard.”I said with a tone of finality as I walked towards the lots.

**

The driver drove inside the garage and I got down and grab my bag.

“Have a good day, ma’am.”he greeted before I got down.

I walked inside the building and headed to the chief’s office.

I knocked on the door and waited for his reply.

“Come in.”came his reply and I opened the door and stepped in then closed the door behind me.

“Janelle!.”he called immediately.

Oh, I’m so dead.

I slowly turned to him with a soft look.

“I can explain, Chief. My mom was terribly sick and I just have to stay beside her and..”

“Oh, Janelle. What’s up with you?. You haven’t missed a day before. We were all damn worried about me.”he cut in.

I breathed in relief as I heard that.

Oh, I’m not gonna get fired.

“I’m really sorry, sir. I should have called but I lost my phone and I just got a new one.”I replied while walking towards his desk.

“Oh, tough week, it must have been for you.”he sighed.

“Anyway, welcome. Though we’ve missed out on the second trial of George’s worker. We just have to postponed it and strangely and luckily, George didn’t ask about the sudden change..”he smiled.

Duh.. that’s because he’s my fiancee.

I rolled my eyes inwardly..

“Well, what’re you waiting for?. Get to work.”he said and I smiled then bowed before walking out of his office to mine.

That went smooth.

I shut the door and turned around only for me too see huge pile of files and documents on my desk.

Hectic day, it would be.

I walked to my seat and sat down then packed my hair in a ponytail and started working on it one after the other.

**

“Look who’s here!!!!…”Diana yelled from the door and I rolled my eyes.

“Oh, Diana.”I rolled my eyes.

“How I miss you, girl. You’re finally back.”she came to hug me.

“Yeah.. how I’ve you been, Diana?.”

“I’m fine…”she smiled widely and disengaged from the hug.

“Come on, let’s go have lunch. Gosh, I’m really happy I won’t be having lunch with Mr Davis again. He’s really the boring type..”she said.

“Well.. I can’t have lunch with you today, I’m sorry. I have a lot of work to do.”

“Ggggg.. there we go again. Anyways, bye. I guess I will have to dine with Mr Davis again. And, mind you, I’m coming back for the full gists.”she whispered the last part before walking away.

I shook my head and continue soon my work.

*

*Night.*

I was the only left in the building. Others has left a while ago, even Diana.

I packed the files and stood up then grab my bag.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I walked out of the office, locking the door.

I walked out and that was when I got to now that it was raining.

Oh.

I stood in front of the building and pocketed my hand in my pull – over pocket.

I can’t go to the garage in the rain, unless, I will catch a cold.

I sighed and flicked my hair back.

Suddenly, an umbrella came over my head and I looked up to see George.

Huh?.

He wasn’t looking at me. He was looking at the opposite direction.

After all what I said to this man, he still came to put an umbrella on my head.
