Cassy's pov
The nerve of that man! I can't believe I get to meet him again and he's my boss. Ironical!!! He indirectly fired me from my job and I accidentally end up working for him. That's if he would employ me at the end with how I just ran my mouth before him.
No! I need that money. He has to like my food.
"Miss Cassy? I looked to miss Jordan her face still slightly pale.
I'm sorry about the banter. I must tell you that he's usually like that. I'm used to it. You don't need to defend me."
I was shocked. "I wasn't defending you ma'am. I was only putting him in his place. He deserved it."
She just shook her head and started heading out but not before she addressed me.
"Please make sure you concentrate on preparing the food so it could turn out nice."
I wanted to retort but I just nodded my head and gave her a small smile.
She headed out and I continued cooking a meal fit for a king.
But damn! If he rejects it, I'm going to screw him big time.
The energy I'm putting it this is really large.
My phone rang out loud and I picked it up while still stiring my lettuce stew, a delicious recipe of mine.
"Yeah?"
"Cassy? Cassy?"
"Brandon? "
His voice sounded urgent and I grew very worried.
"What's wrong? How's Mary?"
His voice took sounded shaky. "That's why I called you.There's something wrong with the baby. "
My heart skipped a beat.
"What?"
I dropped whatever I was doing and leaned on the fridge.
"Is she okay?"
"Well.. The doctor says the baby is bridged and they will have to do a surgery immediately"
"But... My voice sounded croaky. I cleared my throat properly.
Why didn't they figure this since. I thought they do scans??"
He sighed. "The baby just shifted position now. I'm so sorry for disturbing you. I'm just so worried about Mary."
"I'm going to take the next flight home. "I said while taking my hand gloves off.
"No!!! He frantically shouted. Mary would have my head if you came. She made me promise not to tell you but I thought you needed to you know...moreover the surgery is scheduled tonight. I hope it goes well. You wouldn't be able to make it if you left now."
I sighed and dropped to the floor. "Just keep me updated will you?"
"I will... Don't worry too much okay. She'll be okay."
"Ok"
It sounded as if he was reassuring himself.
"Miss Cassy? Miss Cassy? Are you okay?"
Miss Jordan rushed over when she saw me in my distraught state.
I immediately swiped my hands over my face. That's when I noticed that I was crying. My sister is in the hospital battling for her baby's life and I'm here trying to earn money for myself instead of being there for her.
Miss Jordan looked at me carefully as if trying to locate the source of my discomfort.
"Mr Damien would have his dinner now. "
"Ok. I will set his table."
I thanked God I had already almost finished cooking cause I wouldn't have been able to continue cooking had the call come earlier. I made my way to the luxurious dining room and started arranging the utensils and placing the food properly on the table.
Half of mind was with my sister.
I heard footsteps from the staircase and Mr Damien emerged freshly bathed donning blue pants and a white shirt that stretched arcross his broad shoulders. He's a very tall man with muscles.
I didn't look at him twice and continued arranging the table.I haven't got the mind to admire someone or even talk but it seems Mr Damien has other plans.
"Well... well... well. What is going on here?"
He says as he takes a seat at the foremost chair. "Hmmmm.... Such a lavish dinner. Now tell me red Ariel?"
Red Ariel? What kind of stupid nickname is that?
"To what do I owe this pleasure? Do you want to naturally impress me or are you in desperate need of money?"
I felt the jab but I didn't have the heart to retort so I just ignored him.
"Cat got your tongue?" He persisted trying to get a reaction out of me but I remained silent.
When he noticed it, I felt his heavy stare upon me then he did something that entirely surprised me.
Hello loves! How are you'll?
I hope you're happy I updated cause I'm
