Chapter 25
“Jane! My little princess how are you?” He says and I knew he was crying but didn’t want to make it obvious as my Dad is really an emotional man.
“Where have you been Dad, it's not fair to leave me here all alone, I've been waiting and hoping you'd come back home but you didn’t come home why?!" I yell as the tears kept on flowing freely.
My noise seemed to have called for Justin's attention as he was now in my room with a puzzled look on his face.
“There's so much I wish I could say but I can't really say more, I just want you to know that I'm deeply sorry and I didn't mear to hurt you and besides I'm fine so you don't have to worry about me okay? I love you”
“Why are you saying thi..” I trailed off as the call ended, he had hung up on me.
Ifling my phone to only heavens knows where as I rested my head on the bed crying my lungs out
I was confused as my brain wasn't able to comprehend to what has just happened.
“Why did he call if he wasn't going to come back” I silently cried.
“Maybe he wants you to know he's doing alright so you don't have to worry about him” Justin approaches sitting besides me “It doesn't make any sense, why would he leave me?" I ask knowing that I wasn't able to get the answer to my question.
“At least you know he's safe” he comforts me and I gave in to his warm embrace.
There was total silence in the room for a long while before I decided to break the silence.
“I want to accept your offer” I tell him and his eyes widened in shock.
F*ki Maybe I shouldn't have said it that way, u should have rather told him that I wanted to work as a doctor.
“You're finally saying yes?” He excaims and I knew I've put myself in a deep shit.
“Actually I meant I want to accept your job offer, I stuttered as I was trying to make a complete sentence.
“Oh that” He sadly exclaims as his brows furrowed.
“I shouldn't have said it that way at first" I apologize as I removed myself from his embrace.
“No not It's a good thing, you need a job to help you relieve your tension and I need to get back to my work so they don't think I'm dead” he jokingly says and we both chuckled.
“I know you'll do great as a doctor” he tells me and I gave him a broad smile.
“Can I start tomorrow?” I ask and he widened his eyes.
“Wow! Tomorrow's a little bit sooner but I'm sure we'll work it out, how about we start by packing our stuffs and go back to California” he suggests and I stood up immediately to get ready.
He was shocked at my reaction but had no choice but to do the same as he started to pack his stuffs and get things ready. I'turned to look at the house one last time as Justin had started the car already.
“Good bye Dad!” I say and walked towards he car.
If was still very cold outside so I had to hurry up before I catch a cold, I got into the car and heaved a sigh of relief as the car felt really warm and I was grateful for technology that had made heaters possible.
Justin turned on the radio and the car was filled with warm music as he drove away.
It was a pretty long drive as we drove through the snow, the atmosphere soon began to get warm as I realized I was close to california.
“We stay at my place?” Justin asks and I nodded my head in approval since my rent would soon be due, the thought of that reminded me to take some of my belongings from the apartment.
We got to Justin's house, it was a really big mansion that made me feel uncomfortable sometimes and most times I forget that Justin is actually a really rich guy and the owner of the hospital I would soon work in.
“Why am I always reminded that you're a filthy rich guy whenever I'm in your house?" I tease and he smiled broadly showing his dimples.
“Mr Palmer” three maids greeted as they saw us approaching.
They collected our bags as we walked into the mansion.
The mansion is a really big house painted with white all through and the furnitures were either off-white or pure white except for the huge book shelf that was at a corner of the living room
The fact that you can’t find any other colour in his house amuses me because you would think Justin was a colourful type of person and whenever I asked him about why his house had just a colour he works say it fits his personality which I still don’ get.
“Right this way miss Fisher” a maid directs me to my room.
“If you really want to start the work tommorow, you should probably arrange some things” he yells as I was climbing the stey “Do I really need an interview?” I c**k a brow at him knowing full well that he was not going to interview me.
He let out a chuckle, “okay, fine you win” .
I smiled as I got to the room that was well and neatly arranged already.
The stress from the trip made me tired and all my body wanted to do was to stump on the bed but I couldn't sleep, not yet. I went to my luggage, brought out a tailored ladies suit as I checked it in the mirror if it would look nice on me on my first day at work.
“Perfect” I purr but soon noticed some wrinkles on it, where could the iron be?
I walked out of the room looking for one of the house maids when I spotted some, they seemed to be shocked immediately they saw me and I could tell that they were gossiping about me with the look on their faces.
My intention was to ask for the iron and smoothen my clothe myself but seeing that they were gossiping about me angered me a little.
“There's a suit on the bed, make it smooth” I order as I walked away and I could hear one of them murmuring, “she’s so arrogant and proud”, I let it slide away as I walked straight to Justin's room and when I turned to look at them they were all shaking in the fear of losing their jobs but I wasn't going to report their mannerless attitude.
“Justint” I knock on the door and he opened the door to let me in.
He had changed his outfit as he was now wearing shorts and a t-shirt, he looked good in those.
I entered the room and made myself comfortable on the white couch that was at a corner of his room.
“So.I was bored” I pout my lips giving him a puppy face and he understood what I meant.
“You're not bored Janet, you want food!” He strained the food and I laughed,
“Okay..so what if 2” ask and he closed his laptop
“Let's go and eat” he offers and I jumped up happily.
We got to the kitchen and the maids there immediately stood up and gave him a slight bow as one of them spoke.
“We've cooked what you asked us to sir" a maid quietly says.
“You can go now” he orders and they rushed out of the kitchen.
“Some rich guy shit” I teasingly say quietly but he heard and laughed.
“Well..guess who's going to be the rich guy's wife” he says as a joke but meaning every single word.
I gave him a smile as the situation turned awkward, “let's eat already” I protest and he agreed.
We silently ate the food and to be frankly honest Justin cooks way better than them.
“I like your food better” I say as we walked out of the kitchen, we didn't eat in the dining maybe because he knew I liked to eat in the kitchen.
“I know I'm the best chef ever” he boastfully says and I rolled my eyes giving him a middle finger.
“You can't go around giving your boss a middle finger you know?”
“Well In that case I'll give him two middle fingers" I did as I said and he chuckled.
He pulled me closer to him as he held me by my waist and my breath seized as I could feel his hot breath against my neck. “I so much love you Jane, and I would do anything to prove my love to you” he says and kissed the side of my lips. F**k that was a turn on for me.
I pulled his head to position his lips on mine as I kissed him back passionately since I have agreed to let my ego down and love him.
He was shocked by my reaction and I don't think I'll ever seize to surprise him but nevertheless he brought my upper lips into his mouth sucking it as his tongue found its way into my mouth touching my tongue and I let out a soft moan.
He carried me on the counter as my legs were spread wide opened, he positioned himself in between my legs still holding onto my waist tight and continued to kiss me.
The kiss was hot and felt different from the other kisses we've shared but it wasn't compared to that of Chase, f**k! I don't think it's right to remember another man while being intimate with another.
The loud thud of a broken vase broke our kiss as we realized a maid had been watching us kissing, I could feel and see the anger on Justin face as he was looking at the maid whose legs were now shaking.
