My Sleeping Pill 💊

Chapter 6

He was receiving glares from all angles. He was less concerned about the glares. He didn't give a damn about them. He focused on what he was doing with his phone.

His mom gave me signal to serve him, l went beside him carefully and served him his meal. But suddenly l notice a burning stare from his side. I hope I have not made mistakes, l prayed sincerely. This job is very important to me and l can't afford to be jobless now.

His cousins Ray and his overbearing sister, noticed the stare from him and smirked, they must be thinking that he would soon have me in his bed.

In their dreams, l scuffed. But l know that he wouldn't notice someone like me. His type likes elegant and expensive ladies and I'm far from that.

I unconsciously cleaned my face with the back of my palm, l hope nothing is on my face because of the way he was looking at me. I became self conscious immediately. I was happy when his father asked him when he would join the company.

He immediately avert his gaze from me and his icy cold face returned as he answered him nonchalantly without any visible respect. He's so full of himself.

When l thought that the drama his finished. He stood up and left, even when his mother was calling him back. He's so prideful. He didn't even acknowledge grandpa who everyone feared.

Indeed he must be something. Anyways, I will see how things goes. When he left Michael, Grandpa's first son and his family started saying ill of Richard not minding his parents who were present there.

Richard's father, Mark clenched his fist to a ball as he was holding himself not to explode in front of grandpa. His wife, Miriam tried as much as she can to put a smile on her face but it came out a bitter smile. She really wanted to say something badly but thought against it as grandpa roared in anger and warn them to eat quietly.

Out of anger, grandpa stood up from his chair which is at the head of the table which indicates that he is the head of the family. He left and stopped halfway as if he forgot something.

He went back to pickup the briefcase his grandson Richard has given him early as a birthday gift.

After the breakfast, they all left for their different business and we were left to clean up the table and set it for lunch.

Amanda, my bestie called me as l was heading to the kitchen department to help clean up the dishes.

I stopped as l waited patiently for her to walk up to me. Do you noticed how young Boss Richard was staring at you throughout the breakfast. I didn't notice l lied, I'm not cut out for her drama of over hyping things. And l won't give her the credit for that.

I know you did. You're just pretending or lying, she said, He stripped you naked and eat you raw already with his eyes. It seems he loved what he have seen, she said seductively. You're foolish, l said as I started walking towards the kitchen.

She followed me up immediately behind me, not giving me a breathing space. He likes you, she said in anticipation. Only she and her knows what's going on in her mind right now.

You must be joking, l said to her seriously. He had not seen all the beautiful, rich, classy and elegant young beauties not to talk of me, l spat each words trying had to make her understand that whatever that is going on in her head will not work. She should quit already.

Your preference in novel is really affecting you. All those things you read can only happen in novels not in real life, l promise you. I explained to her, praying that she understands me and stop shipping the young Boss with me. It's a ship that can never seal.

My darling, you're always optimistic about everything, why can't you be in this one? She asked me thoughtfully.

It's simple, l trailed off. He is beyond my reach in all ramifications, and might be handsome and wealthy but he is too proud for my liking. Even if I decided to dream big, not with this one. It's an impossible union. So stopped putting ideas in my head, l begged her as l moved to the sink to clean the dishes.

I overheard Linda, when she was discussing with her friend Zara that she would do anything to get his attention or in his bed. And not just her but some other females…… like you, right ? I cut her off. I didn't want to continue with this discussion but she is bent on it, as if her life depends on it.

I'm one of his crush but as far as he had shown interest in my friend. I will give up and root for you two. I can't wait to see this sweet romance, she said dreamily.

I hands up my two hands showing a sign of surrender. 'I give up', l said to her, getting irritated with her already. She's my bestie but she can be so annoying at times.

'I love you', she said, as she left the kitchen department, 'I hate you', l shouted behind her. Hmmm, I exhaled deeply. I wonder how I came in contact with this lady, I said to myself.

I will never put all she had said in my mind, because l know it's not possible, it can't be. I know that for sure, l reassured myself as l resumed cleaning the dishes.

I left the kitchen department immediately after cleaning the dishes. l rushed out trying to get to my room as to rest for a while before we return to the kitchen in two hours. As l was rushing l bumped into a rock, is it a rock? I asked myself.
