He pulled up by the side of the road, I got out of the car, opened my purse and threw his car key at him before closing the door
"You can go and take your garbage. It's at my apartment garage. You don't expect me to marry you because of that tin"
He rolled down the glass and said "You weren't saying that in the morning"
"That was because I didn't know you are a crazy bit...." I trailed off
"Candace calm down" my subconscious said to me "You don't have another job yet"
"Come in" he said and opened the door "it's getting late and this place is risky"
"I'm not going with you" I said, took out my phone and called Susanne
"Hello" I said when she finally picked up while eyeing Jake
"Hello" she slurred
"Where are you?"
"At a bar with Ken"
"Can you come and pick me up"
"Where are you?"
"I don't know exactly where but it's not far from the Black's estate"
"I thought you said that you're attending a meeting"
"It's a long story. Can you come and pick me up?"
"I'm too drunk to drive but let me ask Ken if he wouldn't mind"
There were a lot of noise in the background before she was back
"I'm sorry darling, he said he's too tired to drive that long distance"
"Please" I pleaded and watched a smiling Jake with annoyance "please" but she already hung up.
I dialed Chris number and hung up before it could ring. He would doubt me if he saw us together, or saw me near their property
"I entering your car doesn't mean that we're cool" I said as I entered the car
"Take your car key" he said and put it on my thigh
"It's not mine, It yours"
"Are you saying 'no' to your boss"
"My boss shouldn't mixed my emotional feelings with my job"
"I gave you this and it's yours"
"The only reason why I will be taking this from you is if you tell me that everything that happened at your parents house was a joke"
"Of course not"
"Then, I won't be taking this"
"It either you take this or get half of your monthly salary"
"Brent" I thought
Brent was my only sibling, he was fourteen and he was a cancer patient. Ninety percent of every cent we earn goes to him
"Okay" I said and took the car key from him because I knew if I prove stubborn, Brent would be the one to suffer for it
"Good girl" he said and smirked while I eyed him
"I saw that"
"Who cares?"
Finally, we were back at my apartment, I got out of the car and headed to my apartment without looking back at the motherfucker
"Won't you invite me in, fiancee" he shouted from his car while I put my hand in front of my face, bent my head and didn't respond in case my nosy neighbors were watching through their windows
When I was finally inside, I dropped my purse on my couch, drew up my curtain and watched him zoomed off before rushing to my bathroom.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up due to my phone vibrating on the bed, sluggishly picked it up, it was a text from boss
"We will soon be together fiancee and I shall have all the right to touch you anytime I want" he texted
I swore and angrily went for the delete option but before I could press it, another's message came in. It was also from him
"And don't you dare delete it because that message is your pass-card to today's work"
"Asshole" I swore and angrily got out of my bed to get ready for the day
After going through my closet for the fifth time, I decided to put on the only shapeless gown I had just to look as unattractive as possible
"This must be a joke" Sandra one of my co-workers said as we took the lift
"Not really" I said
"I saw your car, it's cool"
"Thanks"
"You're not going to believe the story behind it" I thought and smiled at her
After alighting on the lift, I headed straight to my office, opened the door and shockingly dropped my bag
"It's too early for this" I said annoyingly and picked up my bag
"Good morning fiancee"
"We're at work"
"And who owns the work?"
"Jerk" I thought and dropped my bag on the table
"Where is your pass-card?"
"I don't know what you're talking about" I played dumb
"Your pass-card"
"I wasn't offered one the last time I was here"
"But you were offered one this morning" he said and started going through my bag
"You don't have the right to go through my things" I said angrily and started dragging my bag with him
"Chill, I'm just trying to take out your phone" he said but I wasn't listening, and all of a sudden, my bag torn out, and all my things flew out in slow motion in front of me until they landed forcefully on the ground
"I told you not to touch my bag"
"One, you should have calmed down when I told you to and two, this gives me more reason why you should be with me and not some other men"
"I will rather stay with those men than to stay with an arrogant asshole like you"
"Do you know the reason why I'm an arrogant asshole? It's because I'm rich, powerful and handsome and I can change your life by just tapping my fingers, and by the way,nice gown but I will rather prefer all those short ones because they makes it quicker"
"I'm not discussing this with you"
"You're still gonna discuss it with me whether you like it or not" he said and smirked "Girls loves it and I go crazy for it" he whispered "They always come back for more"
"That is because they want your money"
"And I want their pussy. It's trade by barter babe"
"I'm not your babe"
"Says you"
"I need to start working, it's almost eight"
"Without the pass-card?"
I closed my eyes and inhaled heavily, trying to stay calm as possible before bending down to pick my purse among my things that were still on the ground, opened it, took out my phone and showed him his annoying text
"Okay" he said "but that message most always be on your phone and mind you, I will be changing your pass-card every morning, meaning that you will be getting at least one message from me everyday"
He got out of my seat, tried to peck me on the cheek but missed because I shifted my face away from him, and left
"Thank goodness" I thought, dropped my purse and was about to move to my seat when he said "And I will be expecting you in my office" by peeping inside my office
"Fuck off" I said quietly and confirmed that he was gone before moving to my seat
