One night stand

The job

Carrisa walked into the kitchen and met Emma still busy with the dishes.

“Emma!”

Emma having already sensed what was going on whipped her hands with a napkin as she turned to face Carrisa.

She knew what she did and knew Carrisa will be pissed but she just had to do it. She wants her to take this job, as that will be the best way for her to start her life all over again. She just had the feeling that Mr Robert ment well for Emma.

“Did you thrash Mr Andrew's card yesterday?”. Carrisa asked furiously.

“Carrisa…”

“Please speak up”. Carrisa said with a frown on her face.

“Okay, I called Mr Andrew yesterday in your voice and I told him I already accepted the job offer and will like to resume today and I also gave him the house address. Please I'm sorry don't get pissed”.

“Why did you do that, I told you already this man is up to something. I can sort myself out already or is it how badly you want me out of your house? You would have just said that than taking this job on my behalf”. Carrisa said dimming her eyes.

Something she does whenever she's so angry.

“Look Carrisa, I'm sorry. I had to do it cause I know that's the best option for you now. We both know that even if you open a restaurant here now, you won't get much customers as nobody knows you and they will prefer to go to the restaurant they are more familiar with. Atleast when you start working with Mr Andrew you will get more connections and also be able to raise more money, you don't have to be there for too long, just try to know more people and raise enough money and that's it, you can then leave and open your own restaurant. Think about this Emma, I really want the best for you. Sharon explained.

“Thank you so much Emma” Carrisa who was blowing hot few minutes ago said calmly.

She started to sniff back tears.

She just realized Emma was right. She won't get much customers cause she was new in the environment with no friend aside Emma. She was really grateful.

“Don't cry okay?” Emma said knowing how emotional Carrisa can be.

“But what if he has another motive, who would want a s*x worker as his chief?”. Carrisa said.

“ First off, you're not a s*x worker you only slept with one person and secondly, there is no other motive I think he wants to help you. And even if he does, I'm sure your smart enough to figure it out on time” Emma smiled.

Carrisa sighed and pressed her lips together.

“Okay” she finally said after a long silence.

“Okay what?” Emma asked in excitement.

“I'll take the job”. Carrisa said rolling her eyes.

“I'm so proud of you Carrisa, believe me you won't regret this” Emma assured.

“Now, go get dressed, you have wasted those guys time enough”. Emma said pulling Carrisa to the room.

Carrisa wore a blue gown and a minimal black sandals and carried a plain black handbag.

Her hair was pulled in a bun with tendrils framing her face.

“You mean, you had to make your voice sound like mine while you were talking to Andrew Ferdinand.” Carrisa said still laughing.

“Yeah and he didn't even suspect a thing, although it was so hard and I was so close to talking with my real voice when I quickly gave him our house address and hanged off”. Emma faked a frown and Carrisa laughed loud.

Carrisa was set to leave and She walked to the door with Emma accompanying her.

“We are sorry for keeping you guys waiting” Emma said to the guys when they got to the door.

They both nodded without saying a word.

“Do you think it's safe for me to go with them”. Carrisa whispered to Emma.

“Of course, I will take a picture of the plate number so you don't have to worry.” Emma assured Carrisa.

“Okay” Carrisa said. She gave Emma a hug before the men led her to the car.

“Oh..my” it's a Benz” Carrisa realised.

Carrisa got into the car and they drove out of the compound.

The car had felt like a heaven to Carrisa and she was almost dozing off when they arrived at Andrew's mansion.

They come to a halt inside the compound and the guys alighted to open the door for Carrisa.

She raised her head to take a full look at the building and her mouth was left hanging.

The house blinked of riches.The tall building stood bold, beautiful and erected. The walls looked like it was made of gold.

Once you take a glance at the house, you would know that the owner is swimming in wealth.

“Miss Carrisa Liam can you come with me”. One of the guys said to Carrisa.

“Okay” she said slowly as she started walking behind him.

She counted the body guards outside and they were up to ten.

Really?

Carrisa was sifted in the couch still looking around in awe.

The inner part of the house smelt more riches.

It's more beautiful than the other part.

She stared at the untouched drink in front of her.

She's too nervous to take anything right now.

“Why aren't you taking your drink?” She heard from behind, she quickly stood up with her hands at her back.

Andrew stood in front of her and it was there their eyes met.

He looked so cool in his blue t-shirt and black pair of trousers.

His skin looked so smooth and he had a well built body.

She wondered why he looked more handsome now and less creepy.

“Good morning.” Andrew spoke up wondering how many times they have wasted starting at each other.

He was impressed at her appreance, looks like she was really ready to work.

He loves it when a lady looks attractive and natural.

“Good morning Mr Andrew” Carrisa said bowing a little in respect.

“Please do not bow to me I'm not your god”. He said.

“Ohh…. Okay” Carrisa said still biting her lower lips in nervousness.

Andrew dismissed the workers in the living room and then turned to Carrisa.

“I'm sorry I slipped my card into your bag” Andrew said.

“Why did you do that when I clearly rejected you offer”. Carrisa asked.

“But you accepted the offer already” Andrew shrugged.

“Yeah, but that didn't answer my question”. Carrisa said.

“I did cause I want to help you”

“Thank you, but hope you don't have plan of having s*x with me, that will never happen again. I'm here to work as you chief and nothing else.” Carrisa said clearly.

“Hey, excuse me, I am not that type of guy that sleeps around with women, I only had you that night cause I have been celibate for five years now and the urge got irresistible. I'm only interested in helping you and if you don't appreciate it, you can kindly leave.” Andrew said, she was getting on his nerves already with her lack of trust.

“I'm sorry, for getting on your nerves.

Carrisa said with remorse in her voice.

The room was quite for five minutes

“Come with me” Andrew said noticing her hesitation.
