Chapter seven
Amaya's PoV
I know, I said it out loud with a hint of disappointment and sadness in my voice. I looked up at him to see he was staring at me with his mug mid air to the table looking confused.
"You knew what" he asked completely confused.
"I knew that nobody does anything for free in this world" I said with a hard tone and a straight face. I know there was a little bit... okay more than a little bit of disappointment in my voice.
Why did I even think I was lucky this time around. I've only been lucky for two things in my whole life. My early childhood when I had my mom with me and for the past few years now, with Rob.
He took a chance on me with no working experience whatsoever and gave me a job. I tried really hard not to get close to him or anyone else as everyone I know either dies or leaves me behind . He's the only person I think of as someone who cares for me. Of course there's also Jackie who likes to annoy me just to get me out of my shell. But i know she means well and she's genuinely a good person.
"And how do you know that I'm going to ask you something"?
He asked and I looked at him with narrowed eyes. I hate it when people try to take advantage of me because they think I'm naïve. Well I may look like a naïve girl but I'm really not that naïve. And neither am i stupid.
"Well since you told me to use my imagination…" I trailed off
"And that's the only thing your imagination could come up with?" he cut me off looking amused and I think a little bit of anger in his voice.
"Well that's what life has thought me" I said looking him straight in the eye. And that's probably the longest eye contact I've had him ever since i met him.
My nerves begin to settle down. I can see at the corner of my eye that Jackie and Rob are keeping their eyes on me and whispering to themselves. I turned to look at them fully and Jackie mouthed 'Go girl' to me with a wink and one hand fanning herself. I rolled my eyes at her and turned to Mr Beautiful infront of me.
He studied me for a bit longer and then sighs sofly. He cleared his throat and looked at his wrist watch checking the time.
I allowed him the time he needs because I felt like he wanted to say something.
"Well, I came to speak to you about a business function I'll be attending and I'd like for you to accompany me". He finally said
I looked at him like he was crazy. I looked at him some more for a little bit longer and then a giggle escaped my lips. Is this guy going loco?
"Me?"
I askes him pointing my index finger to my chest still chuckling softly. He gave me a look of irritation and glanced at his watch again.
"That seems to be what I said Amaya. What time is your shift over tomorrow?" He asked.
"I didn't say I would go and besides I don't have anything to wear to rich people parties or functions..."
"Business function! And you don't need to worry about what to wear. I'll send someone over to your apartment to get you ready, and as for not saying you would go, you didn't say you wouldn't either not that you have a choice! Now what time are you off work."
He said and stood up from his sit and he dropped a fifty dollar bill on the table. He buttoned his suit and looked at me staring at him.
"How do you even know my apartment"?
I asked him looking confused.
"Have you been stalking me"? I gave him a look that says you better have not been.
"Me, stalking you? Absolutely... not. Amaya Magdalena Vicker, do you not know anything about 'Rich people'" he asked with a chuckle using his forefinger as a quotation .
I gasp loudly when I heard my full name on his lips. No one has ever used my full name before except my mom and that is only when I misbehave.
How did he even know my full name and my apartment and my work and…
"I'm guessing you have more questions for me now huh? Well, you can ask me tomorrow as I'm already late for a meeting. Until then, stay out of trouble.
With that he left the café and I was still standing shell shocked by the chair. I lifted my head to see Jackie snapping her fingers infront of my eyes.
"Close your mouth Maya babes, a fly could enter. Wow girl, your man is hawt"
she said in a sing song manner. I looked at her like she was crazy. My mind was trying to process what i just heard. How can he know all that about me in only a few weeks of meeting me. What the heck? I was snapped out of my shell shock state when i heard Jackie ranting about who he is or who he isn't.....
"Girl, I mean do you even know who that guy his? He's the number one most handsomely hawt bachelor on almost every magazine and the face of GQ. And the cherry on top is he's a billionaire"
She stopped her ranting when she saw my expression . I have absolutely zero clue about what she's talking about. Zero. Zilch. NADA.
"You have no idea what I'm talking about do you?" I shook my head no. "Rob, you know the guy, help me out here" she said to our Boss
"Maya, what this blabber mouth is trying to say is that, you've caught the eye of a very rich man. But be careful, okay. Don't let anyone false you to do anything you don't want to do okay?"
My boss said with a look of fondness in his eye and then rolled his eyes at Jackie.
Jackie took my hand and pulled me to the seat in the corner.
"So it looks like you've got a date tomorrow. You're lucky I don't have to close my shift late tomorrow. I get to help you prepare for this date with the sexy hot billionaire".
My eyes widen when my brain registered that I have a date, function or whatever with Mr Beautiful.
"Omigosh, what do I do Jackie, I know nothing about rich people business!" I cried out in frustration
"Never fear My Little bird, mommy here is gonna help you spread your wings and fly" she said "Besides all you have to do is look pretty on his arm with a permanent smile on your face and you'll be just fine". She concluded and I face palmed.
Oh bwoy!
