Jessica

WHAT'S YOUR STORY?

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

Jessica

"Anthony, I am glad you could join us, I presume you had a wonderful night. I won't ask for details just join us." Richard says in a cherry tone as he spots Anthony who walks in, His face doesn't seem so calm, his heart rate is uncomfortably increased.

Jessica and the girls all turn around, Jessica has her hair back up in a pony tail, in a romper too, Her specs are of that of a nerd, she looks more like pretty in her non high school look.

"Uhm, Good morning but I- will skip and be in my room, its only-" Anthony says in a cold tone, His eyes stared deeply into her necklace, she isn't doing a great job at keeping it at bay. He checks his wristwatch and replies back to Richard, his face appearance which was once sweet suddenly changed.

"It's only seven, can I sleep in?" Anthony asked with no emotion whatsoever, His eyes are glued to Jessica still.

Judith scoffs and fumes, her fists are formed. She studies Anthony and how his eyes are glued to Jessica still.

She folds her arms and rolls her eyes. Jane, her twin sister notices how she is. She taps her and asks. "What?" She raises her eyebrow as she asked.

Anthony left swiftly, his hands in his pocket, without looking back, Jessica watched as he walked in, She had questions to ask but it wasn't her place, if anything she wouldn't dare concern herself, All she needs to have a talk with her lawyer. None of Anthony's Bullshit is her concern.

"Anthony is looking at Jessica, and only her. it's not nice." Judith says to her twin. Jane shoves her and shakes her head.

"Okay, Remember today, we open at nine am. I will be away for this month, Paul my assistant will take charge and that's that, you are dismissed." Richard says as he clapped his hands awkwardly, he didn't expect such a reaction from Anthony, but then what can he say. He did only hire him because Anthony didn't need the pay instead he paid him.

"Hot Paul?" Judith asks upon the mention of Paul

"Judith? pick one" Ashley fired back immediately, she seems to have pent up anger and that won't do her any good.

"Okay, tell me you haven't gone head over heads for any guy, any at all." Jane replied on behalf of her hopeless romantic twin.

"of course I have but then i didn't pick and just loved from afar, so just pick one and stick with him, tightly okay?" Ashley reploes warmly for the first time ever, the twins are surprised to what she had said and how she related to them, she was always this bully and someone who always had something to say, she didn't come down to their level, although they all talked well, the difference was clear regardless.

*********

"Jessica, how are you? how did you get home? I am sorry I ditched you." Anthony says with a worrisome look, although his mind doesn't seem to worry at all, His eyes hasn't left her neck for a second.

Jessica notices and keeps it in her shirt instead. she clears her throat before she replies.

"well, I found a way and you didn't ditch me at all." Jessica replies as she heads on to her laptop, she sits and faces there, astonished, Anthony didn't expect she would be so care free about the issue, he has expected that she would get mad or something at least thats what he had imagined aside the anger he had for Mark.

"Oh." Anthony says as he realises Jessica is unmoved.

"Yeah." Jessica replies coldly, she sees a message that disturbs her immediately, unsure of how to react to it, she fumes from inside, she could feel her blood boiling with anger and rage.

She reads the message from her laptop, her lawyer had sent a message to her.

Jessica, I know you have some properties hidden from your parents and some cash, unfortunately i can only but help you with the cash and not the properties, I am also under your parents. would you prefer I send the cash, it's just twenty grand and at least its something to help you with, please reply with your details and I will have it sent."

She closes her eyes and opens them immediately, she slams the laptop too.

Returning from the shower, his lower body is wrapped with a towel, another around his neck too, his hair is gloriously wet.

He leans on the door, he overhears how Jessica is being uncomfortable.

"Hey, you good?" Anthony asks as he cleans his hair and clears his throat.

Jessica scoffs. " What is this? a teenage high school crush? yes your abs and muscles are enticing but wear some clothes." Jessica says to show that she seems unconcerned but she can't deny how deep and lost, she was really interested in the tattoos that he had on his chest region and biceps, all she saw were the snake tattoo, asides the glorious body but still. she was lost in them.

"Fine, just be fine okay? I am always here for you." Anthony says as he turns away. Jessica went on to messaging her lawyer..

************

An hour later.

It is eight_ forty five..

A meeting was called, the second one for the day.

"Hi, I am Paul and I will be in charge for now." A young man in his late twenties introduces himself, his grey hair colour complimented the sweatshirt and sweatpants he was wearing, he pockets his hands and stands at ease, he feels his ego had been bursted by this oddly charming lady.

"Okay, now can go back to our positions? or at least do some damn work here? Richard already told us about you."

"Daddy didn't tell me, he had a brat here." He says under his voice.

"finally, seems like this junk will get spicy- after all." Ashley says under her breath.

"I see, what is your name?" Paul asked as he felt insulted.

"Jessica, It's Jessica Amor." Jessica replied without a remorse.

"Okay, Jessica. Introductions are always important, and keep that attitude at bay, I am not Richard. " Relaxed, he presses his teeth and twitches his chin.

"Clearly." Jessica fires back as she folds her arms.

"ouuuu" The twins say to mock Paul, who seems to be on a power surge.

"Alright, you can all return back to your post." Paul said with a hint of anger.

Jessica scoffs and leaves, she goes on go grab a drink.

Jessica with her drink in her hand, pacing over the counter.

She still can't over the message that her lawyer had sent via mail.

Her irritation increases, so does her breathing. She wonders how her parents found out about her secret.

her attention is brought back when a man slams a pack of cheese on the table.

"Oh, I didn't know they changed the attendant, you are certainly better and more presentable than the last, if you know what I mean." Grinning, he bites his lips and places his hands on the counter.

"The pack of cheese is just twenty dollars, cash or debit card?" Jessica asks ignoring his compliment.

"I mean, I was friends with the former attendant and she was just naive and all, but you seem better." The man says as he stares at her, he turns his head and licks his lips.

"Sir, do you want to buy something or you just want someone who can talk to as you please." Jessica asks as the strange man doesn't seem to burge.

"you know I do love girls your age, and you are blue eyed. that's a plus i wonder how you will taste in bed." The old man says as he smiles.

Paul stood in a distance and watches from a distance.

"That's it." Jessica says as she does something, something unexpected. His face suddenly feels wet, so does his hair. she splashed him with her drink.

"What is this? you are so damn rude and untrained. Who is the manager in this dump, I need to see him right now.

Jessica rolls her eyes as she goes back to sit.

"Go bad b***h!" Ashley says as she sees the whole scene.

The old man yelled some more, Jessica is unmoved, Ashley doesn't join her, she ignored it also, Paul smiles for a second, he changed his countenance and walks up to the man finally, after some minutes of rants and huffs.

"Sir, my apologies, you can take your cheese and we will talk to her, Ashley, get him some cleaning rags." Paul says as he patronises the old man silly actions.

"So what? you will just let him get away with this? are you f*****g kidding me right now?" Jessica yells as she watches Paul, who suddenly seems to have lost his ego.

"You? come with me." Paul says as he drags her to his office.

He closes the door as he pushes her in, the small room is a silly excuse for an office.

Just a table and a chair, it's shabby computer and a small window.

He locks the door and looks her in the eye.

"Yes, a spoilt princess brat, yes that's what you are but, At least dress properly so they don't talk to you like a tramp." Paul growls as he grabs her hands.

Her blood fumes up, she can feel her entire body reacting to Paul and his behaviour. She releases her hands from his grip.

"Excuse me, if I choose to wear a strapless top or a open cleavage top, It's not your business, Do your job and get the f**k out of my business." Jessica replies harshly without a second to waste.

"I don't work for you, I might pour a soda on you next." Jessica adds as she slams the door and leaves, she takes a look at her self, she is decent. At least, she is on a romper and not something shabby like everyday else.

It wasn't a tramps dress neither was she one, she knew her stay here was just getting heated and this time. She is prepared.
