CHAPTER 2

1148 Words
JAKE PART: This crazy woman again, can this day get any better. Why did i even think of kissing her just to shut her mouth or was it because i got attracted to her immediately. What is really happening to me? all i think of since i saw her this morning was how her lips tasted. Her beautiful face, her blue eyes, her blue-ish black hair which matches her eyes and her perfectly slender body. What happened to me? why am i even thinking of this crazy lady. 'Are you here to talk about your dad's debt?' i asked her. 'No Mr jakeeeee, am here because of my interview with the owner of this company' she answered with a scoff. She really is crazy, 'so you must be Crystal Varso' i said while pointing a seat for her. 'Wait a minute! like you are the owner of this company?' CRYSTAL PART: OH MY WORLD! He owns this place and i talked to him rudely. What am i going to do now? Now i wished i had listened to mom. 'Ehmmmm, you own this place?' i questioned him. What am i doing, i should i apologize to him for threatening him and his workers. 'Your qualifications Miss Crystal?' he asked before i could say another word. I handed my documents to him and watched as he scanned them with his eyes keenly. He looked really amazed with my documents and it looks like i might get this job after all that has happened. 'We can't take you miss Crystal' he dropped the words like bomb shell to me after using 15 minutes to read my document. I just didn't know if i should cry or run out of his office, 'why?' was the only thing i could say. 'Well your qualifications doesn't meet the standard of our office though your results are really impressive but am sorry i can't take you as my personal female assistant' he answered like i didn't matter at all. 'Is it because of our encounter this morning? that's my dad's field and the only thing my mom and i have left of him!' i said in a cracking voice. I can't cry in front of him so i don't seem weak but i just can't help it. 'How can you be so unprofessional? i had put all my hopes on this job leaving my home town and moving here so i can pay off all my dad's debt and my mum's medical bills and on top of that you even claim my dad owes you' i continued with tears running down. How could he be so heartless and not consider me, how am i going to pay the debt he claims dad owes him if he doesn't give me this job. 'What's going on here?' i heard someone ask. I raise my head up just to find that annoying Scott looking at me with concern. 'Scott can you please come back later' Jake told him without taking his eyes off me. Scott left the office and Jake cleared his throat 'let's go have coffee miss Crystal and take this' he handed me his own handkerchief. I just didn't know what to do but follow to him out of his office. We got to the ground floor and he ushered me into his limo. 'Where are we going? don't you have a cafeteria here?' i asked with curiosity. A limo? how much does this guy worth? why does he want me to have coffee with him? or does he want to talk about dad's debt? i just couldn't think of anything right now. 'After you miss Crystal' he pointed his hands to the opened limo. The ride to the cafe was a silent one, the cafe looked really cool. He ordered two cup of coffee and cake to go with it 'so miss Crystal, how are you feeling now?' he asked and i nodded. 'Why did you bring me here Mr Jake?' i impatiently wanted to know. Or did he want to rub salt on the injury he caused. 'I want to make a proposal to you, your father owes me 5 million dollars, you are struggling to pay the other people he borrowed from, your mom needs money for her heart treatment and you are about to lose the only thing your dad left behind for you' he brought out a document and placed in front of me. I opened it and stared at every detail, i saw show drops fall on the document just for me to realize i was crying. I just couldn't pretend anymore that i could do all this by myself, mom was right. 'Am sorry miss Crystal if seeing the document made you feel sad' Jake said with concern. 'Its not your fault and please call me Crystal' i sniffed. It wasn't his fault and neither was it dad's fault, he just want his money back and dad just wanted to give us a better life. 'Am sorry about this and my behavior this morning, i didn't know my dad was owing you and he transferred the field to you, am really sorry' as i wiped off the remaining tears. 'I promise to pay you back but i need time" hoping he will understand. He cleared his throat 'Crystal Varso i can help you clear all your dad's debt and pay for your mother's surgery and treatment but i need something in return' he said with calmness. I really do want to pay for everything we owe and life a free life with mom but am really confused here, will he ask me to sleep with him? 'what do you need' i asked in confusion. 'Marry me'. I just couldn't help but burst into laughter, is he being serious right now? he wants me to marry him or is he trying to make me feel better, well if thats his plan then he is really doing it well because this is hilarious. 'Mr Jake that was a good one' i said still laughing. 'Call me Jake and that wasn't a joke' he said with seriousness in his tone. Wait a minute, that wasn't a joke? like he wants to marry me of all people, someone he just met today, i can't even be compared to his staff and don't rich people marry rich people. This man just went from arrogant to crazy. 'Don't get me wrong Crystal, i am only doing this because i need a mother for my son and other things a wife does at home. I need a wife and a mother to my son' he explained.  I know i need a lot of money to pay our debts but this request was just too much. 'Crystal am not asking you for an immediate answer but i would need an answer before the week runs out'.
