Ten Days With The Fake Billionaire

chapter 45

Adrian brushed away her chin, removing his hands from his cheek.

She hated me for saying that, and she wished there was a means by which she could turn the hands of time to rephrase her sentence and save herself from the show.

Chris had ridden the car for about five minutes now, and the traffic was too much, it was about 5:30 p.m. many people were going back to their houses, so that was what had spotted the traffic.

Jessica and Adrian remained muted, no one daring to start a conversation, she dreaded it so much.

Each time she felt like talking, a voice will suddenly speak to her head saying that she should not say anything. She was talkative, she needed to talk like an upcoming journalist and if she do not speak she will still find herself talking.

This was true, she had remained silent in the car until the words started spilling out of her mouth alone, she dreaded that feeling so dearly.

She was ranting to herself about this messed up country, and its traffic every evening, she even added that it was such a pity that they had left the rural areas for the urban areas.

"Holy s**t! what kind of a messed-up country did you send me to? check my application, the one I deposited t you before coming here on Earth, I had written Canada or America, why then did you send me to Cameroon where nothing seems to be alright at all? there is no order in this country, everybody does what seems correct to him or her, and to sum up everything, I am stuck with this dickhead, red face man in this super ventilated car," she mumbled.

Her eyes were shut and she knew she was talking to herself, it was obvious to think when she had her eyes closed. The moment she opened it, she was faced with the hard glares of Adrian.

His mouth was draped open as he shook his head pitifully. Asking in a confused tone, he said,

"What was that you were saying?" he asked.

"What?" she demanded.

"I mean what was that you were saying, I heard my name in it, where you insulting me?" he questioned.

In a sarcastic tone, she replied,

"No, I was praising you, didn't you hear me say words of blessings to you?" she asked sweetly.

"No, on the contrary, I heard you call me dickhead. That was rude of you," he said.

"So you heard? why then were you pretending like you didn't hear anything?" she asked.

"That is because I didn't give attention to you saying it clearly, it seems like you were ranting. Stop ranting beside me," he concluded.

In a harsh tone, she bashed in,

"If you do not want me ranting here, you can get out of the car, or better still, kick me out of your little luxurious car. Short and simple, if not, you bare with me and stop complaining," she responded.

Hmmm! She was behaving so freely with this man, and she knew that the repercussions were going to be heavy on her side, but she cared less now, as she didn't bother about it.

"Chris, stop the car as soon as possible, I will get down so that you can take Jessica home okay?"

"Yes, Sir," he answered.

There was no way that Adrian would have taken me seriously, she didn't mean that of course, she was just joking.

"No, No, there is no need for you to leave the comfort of your car because of a little girl like me. You know what Chris, I will be the one to leave. Thank you," she added.

Adrian didn't agree with that, he even brought up points to back up his claims.

"No, Jessica, do not contradict me, Chris will take you home then I will sort myself out," he answered.

She was having it tough on him, there was no way that a wealthy and honorable man like him could be seen on the road standing just because of one tiny girl like her, there was no way at all.

"No, Chris, I will leave please," she said.

They kept arguing until a confused Chris had to pull the car somewhere, turn boldly behind, and say,

"You both can get out of the car, or better still, stay, I will be the one to leave."

With this, Chris came out of the car and left. Her mouth had a small 'o' staring at what just happened in disbelief.

Chris was so tired of their back and forth and knowing the kind of person she has as a boss, he could see and say that Adrian was In love with Jessica and the proof is that he will never allow any lady to talk to him like she had been doing for some hours.

Jessica could not help but look for trouble and as though something had entrees her, she had become more troublesome than before and her anger level was so high that one could think that she was carrying the world on her shoulders.

The whole scenario was not even clear to her and all she could do was to look at Adrian and apologize for the inconvenience. She just took pleasure in doing the things that she was doing and like a joke, she had succeeded in getting Chris angry. No, he did not deserve it because he was in no way the cause of her problems with Adrian.

Unlocking the car door, and wanting to step out of it, she could listen to a voice asking where she was going and why she has such an unnecessary temper but Jessica not wanting to say anything that could cause trouble again, moved her lips to talk but felt like something was wrong with her all of a sudden.

Her whole being was shaking and she child not even explain why that was happening to her. Thinking that it could be as a result of something she might have eaten or probably due to the up and down movement, Adrian had already sighted that she was not okay, and he stared at her like a doctor wanting to know the cause of his patients' plight just with one gaze.

Not being able to tell what the matter was, he stepped out of his car and walked around to get to Jessica, who was not in the best of state.

"What is going on now?" he asked thinking that it was one of her pranks but when he noticed that her eyes were closing up and she was losing her stamina on the ground, Adrian called out to Chris for help with a panic that he could not explain even in his next life.

"I am sorry sweetheart, I know I have been hard on you but please open your eyes," he pleaded with a frail voice not thinking straight. Chris saw what was happening, and felt frightened as he could not tell what and how all that was happening.

Without asking whether they are to head to a hospital or not, he jumped inside that car, using his rearview mirror as a guide to check whether his boss had put Jessica into the car and had closed the door well before he starts the engine.

When he saw that they were all settled, he spike out telling his master that there was a clinic just nearby and that he could drive them there in just some minutes.

"Please do so, hurry up," Adrian mumbled.

His heartbeat could be felt bumping inside the car and the worst thing that could happen to him was what he was thinking. Jessica had suddenly become weak and that freaked the hell out of him.

"Please talk to me, how are you feeling, and where does it hurt?" he raised a question but Jessica did not even understand her own body, just opened her eyes as though she could catch a glimpse of him but everything was blurry.

The only thing she could hear was his voice and though she was feeling the way she was doing, had a hearted with so much joy just at the thought of having him worry about her in that manner.

Chris continued to drive while looking at them through the read view mirror and thought he was not liking what was happening to Jessica, his head could have some reasoning as the noise they both were making had stopped.

Jessica had no clue about the news that she was going to receive at the hospital and that information changed her life forever. She was pregnant from the one-night stand that she had gotten with her former boss and when the doctor said it and congratulated Adrian for it, Jessica's world had crumbled.

She had wished that the earth could open up and swallow her but it was not possible, she was still there faced with Adrian and the expression that was on his face was that of a disappointed man. She could already anticipate what was going on inside his head and the feeling that she was having at that particular point in time, was so divided that she thought she was going to die.

Her past was staring at her right in the face and there was nothing she could do about it. Taking a deep breath, she let tears out of her eyes as she had a lot to say but her lips could not bring forth the information.

Glancing at Adrian, she could tell that he was very angry and disgruntled about the situation but was still willing to get an explanation the fact that she just sat there looking at him and crying without saying anything, gave him the impression that he had been a fool.

"I get it, you don't have to explain further," he let out in a tone that could soften even the strongest of hearts. Jessica felt so bad not knowing whether it was a good idea to speak up or to start mute but her sole concern was what she was going to do with that baby in the womb. How was her mother going to react to the news and how was she going to take care of a child whose father is a r****t?

Not being able to tell what the matter was, he stepped out of his car and walked around to get to Jessica, who was not in the best of state.

"What is going on now?" he asked thinking that it was one of her pranks but when he noticed that her eyes were closing up and she was losing her stamina on the ground, Adrian called out to Chris for help with a panic that he could not explain even in his next life.

"I am sorry sweetheart, I know I have been hard on you but please open your eyes," he pleaded with a frail voice not thinking straight. Chris saw what was happening, and felt frightened as he could not tell what and how all that was happening.
