How or when Keira got home, she herself have no idea but one thing is for sure, she is tired. Sarah served her food and asked her if her boss has borrowed her the money. Keira has already told Sarah of her predicament and also told her about the plan Alex has brought up.
“ Yes I told him” She said as if there was no energy left in her.
“He didn't borrow it to you? Why are you talking as if you have no life in you”Sarah asked.
“He didn't borrow rather he offered to give it to me for free but on one condition” Keira said taking a bite of the noodles Sarah made.
“Why didn't you agree to the condition?” Sarah asked getting annoyed.
“Even before he named the condition, I agree but when I heard the condition, I just left. ”
“Why? What was the condition” Sarah asked
“I will have to spend a night with him”Keira said in a low tone but audible enough to make Sarah's anger flared up.
“How dare he? what does he think of you? a cheep slut on the streets? ”Sarah burst in anger.
“How do I get that money Sarah? "Keira asked crying.
“It will soon be okay” Sarah coax her to sleep.
The next day, Keira was not as lively as always and Alex saw it.
“Did he not borrow you the money”Alex asked
“I couldn't find the courage to ask him. ” Keira lied. She couldn't bàd mouth her boss in front of her colleague
“But do ask him. You know tomorrow is your last grace period. By the way I want to give you this”he said handing a brown envelope to Keira.
“What is this?” Keira asked taking the envelope and when she saw what was in it, her eyes widened and she repetitively shook her head.
“I can't take this. Is this not the $10000 you saved to take your younger brother to a trip? ” Keira said in shock.
“Yes Keira but that can wait, please take it” Alex said with a soft smile.
“No I can't, I will not be able to sleep. I will surely find a way okay. You are a good friend and I will never forget this” She said handing back the envelope to him. He took it knowing the kind of person she is and left her office. Then a call came through her office telephone and she picked. It was Celestine, Vicenzo's secretary.
“Sir Vicenzo want you in his office now.” Celestine said and Keira said she is on her way. She doesn't want to see him again, but then again he is her boss and she has to go. After a few minutes of contemplating if she should go or not, she finally reach his office.
“Sir Vicenzo you called me here”she said boldly not showing a hint of few in her voice.
“I wanted to let you know that, the files you have worked on a good. You have done a great job” Vicenzo said looking straightly at her.
“Thank you sir for acknowledging my hard work. If that is all I will take my leave.”
“Why are you in such a rush Ms. Santos, Did your little boyfriend offer you the money you want or he run away” Vicenzo asked with a smirk.
“You are right. He is not as rich as you, he gave me the money he saved for him and his younger brother's trip Ang guess what he didn't ask anything in return and you, the amount I asked for is nothing to you but you still ask to spend a f*****g night with me” Keira spoke in anger and Vicenzo walked slowly and calculative way towards her.
“Watch your tone with me little lady” he said this time, there was no space between them and when Keira tried to step back he held her waist pulling her towards his broad chest.
“And don't compare that bimbo with me” He pinched her waist making her moan in pain and he let her go but as soon as her hand could reach the door knob he asked her
“ Is your body important than your sister's education” that question hit Keira like a bullet, she couldn't answer and went to her office. The question keep replaying in her mind “Is your body important than your sister's education".
