A day to go, I thought when I got back home, called mom to ask about Brent's health, ordered hotdogs for super, showered and had started dozing off when my phone rang, it was Jake
I hissed, silenced the call and continued sleeping, but he kept calling until I picked up
"Hello" I said when I finally picked up while trying to hide my anger
"Where are you?" He slurred while I rolled my eyes in annoyance
"Home"
"Okay. I'm at my usual bar, can you come and get me"
"Is it optional?" I asked
"Absolutely not" he replied
"What about your driver?"
"How do you expect me to be disturbing that old man this late"
"Asshole" I muttered and hope he didn't hear
"I will be expecting you"
"Okay" I said, hung up the phone and got out of the bed
I decided not to change my pajamas just to annoy him more and headed to the bar.
On getting to the bar, I was ushered to the VIP section by one of the securities who Jake might have informed about my coming
"Here" the security man said while pointing to a door
"Okay, thank you" I said and entered
The lights were too dim for my liking and the whole room smells of alcohol
"You came" one of the men in the room slurred, it was Jake's voice.
I walked up to him and put on a fake smile while eyeing the slim girls that were all over him
"Mr Jake" I called
"Babe" he replied and tried to get up
"We still need you here" one of the girls complained, tried to force him back to his seat and stylishly hissed at me
"My babe needs me more" Jake slurred and staggered up while I smirked at the girls before following him
"Where is your car?" I asked
"At the park" he replied and rested one of his hands on my shoulder for support
"You're pulling me down" I said angrily when I could hardly move again
"I'm sorry" he slurred but didn't do anything about it
I unlocked the backdoor when we finally reached the car and pushed him inside, making him hit his head on the other side of the door
"Ouch" he cried out in pain
"Serves you right" I thought before saying "I'm sorry"
"It's okay"
I started the car and headed straight to his house which was a block away from the company.
"We are home" I said to a sleeping Jake after getting our of his car and opened the back door to wake him up
"Yes" he said
"We're home" I repeated
"Okay"
He opened his eyes lazily and looked at me before saying thanks
I helped him out of the car and took him to his bedroom which I've been in to a lot of times
"Where are you going?" He asked sluggishly before I could step out of his room
"Home"
"What says the time?"
I brought out my phone since I wasn't with my wrist watch and checked the time
"To twelve"
"It's late, stay here with me"
"I'm not one of them"
"I know" he replied "I just want you very close to me. It's not compulsory you stay in this room, you can stay in the next room"
I thought about it for some seconds before replying
"Okay, goodnight" I replied and left
I went to the next room, sat on the bed and ordered a Uber
"My business with you is going to be over in some hours time" I thought and left
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up due to my phone's ringing, it was a text from Jake
"I can't wait for the day you're gonna be punished for your disobedience" he texted
"And that's your pass-card" he texted again
"Fool" I muttered and rolled my eyes before emailing him
From: Candaceclinton@black.co
To: Jakeblack@black.co
Subject: Not feeling fine
"Hello Mr Black. I'm not feeling well today and needs to take the day off. I will be at work on Monday. Thanks, Candace Clinton" I texted, threw my phone on my bed and headed to the bathroom to get ready for my interview
My phone was ringing when I came back to the bedroom and I rushed to it thinking it was mom but instead, it was Jake
"Hello sir" I said
"I'm on my way to your house" he said and I wondered what was going on "my doctor is waiting for you" he added
"Oh shoot!" I said subconsciously when I remembered the email that I sent him before going into the bathroom
"You don't have to. I'm going to be fine"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Okay. I will call you later"
"Okay bye"
After hanging up the phone, I went through my phone and saw a lot of messages and missed calls from him, dropped my phone and got ready for the interview
