Viola's Point of view
*
*
"Mummy, you said your plane will take off tomorrow evening why today?" I heard him saying on the phone.
There is this uneasiness I felt, hearing him mention his mummy, I don't know why but I hope his mother doesn't get to find out I'm his son's hired girlfriend- I'm not good at telling lies, though I will try to give my best since my brother safety depends on it.
I breathe out before I announced my face to him, I don't want him to think, I eavesdropped on his conversation, though he's still on call, he flinched his finger at me, I guess he's telling me to wait- though is a must for me to wait for him, I want to see his face reaction when he learned that there is no more food in the kitchen.
The thought elated me, I waited patiently, I lowered my head, I don't want to share a gaze with him, his face has this unexplainable effect on me, though I concluded it might be of my dislikeness towards the affluent.
"Mummy, my girlfriend is very pretty, I'm sure you will find her beautiful and attractive the way I find her attractive and charming" Octavia uttered, which made me raised my eyebrows and we shared a gazed.
"Is he referring to me?" I asked myself inwardly.
"I don't think so, he can't refer to you as charming" my subconscious responds.
A slight smile escaped my mouth, hearing my conscience telling me am not charming.
Though it hurt, hearing my conscience saying, a fine girl like me is not charming, but I concurred with my conscience, moreover, he had called me a pig once, and I haven't seen a charming dirty pig.
I noticed his glanced reflected on me, so I raised my frowned brows, and here he was still conversing with his cold eyes, yet saying sweet things to his mother over the phone.
Some minutes after, I got fed up of standing, my legs ached, I decided to go and sit at the dinner table, and wait for him, instead of standing like a lender who wants to collect money from the borrower.
His hoarse voice halted me from taking the next step.
"Where are you going?"
I cursed him under my breath instantly, did he want me to be standing here forever, must he drain the food he has fed me out of my body.
I gritted my teeth, as I turned in his direction.
"I'm tired of standing," I said in a rude tone, though I don't mind him spitting gibberish after.
"Mummy let's talk after your plane takes off," he said over the phone and removed the phone from his ear.
"And don't you think is rude? I asked you to wait, moreover, if you want to leave, you need to let me know. That is a normal courtesy for every knowledgeable person"
A bittered smile escaped my mouth.
"I'm not knowledgable then" I replied to him, trying to calm my temper.
"Please I don't want any issue for the days we be working together, my parent's plane would take off tonight, tomorrow morning, they will arrive here in France, I need a respectful lady whom my parents will love, not a disrespectful lady, my girlfriend has every good quality a lady ought to have, just that she is not around- I won't want you to behave this way towards my parents, behave well, I don't want to see any complaint or else....." he said but stammered at the end.
"Or else, I think I need to know," I said to him, he's initiating to get me pissed off.
"Don't worry, where is Ronnie?"
"I'm here sir" Ronni emerged and replied as soon as I was about to tell him my mind, I might be poor but I'm a poor lady with self-respect.
I don't allow anyone to just step on me, in the name of money, I was about to tell him my mind.
"Your friends will relieve your work here for few the days she will be staying here, she wants you to always check on her brother on her behalf while she's here fulfilling her obligations".
"Okay" Ronnie replied and lowered her head, she gave me a killing stare.
"You can use the medium to play with your mummy since you have been asking for it" he added to her instructions to Ronnie.
"Okay sir" Ronnie replied cheerfully.
"Meet me in the car, we are going for your clothes shopping while Ronnie you can leave likewise," he said arrogantly and huffed the door.
"What is that? don't tell me you provoked my boss?"Ronnie said
"You should ask me if your boss annoyed me" I replied to her.
"Whatever, you will get used to him, it takes a while before I get used to his varying character"
"Always diverting", we both chorused and smiled widely.
The screaming of her boss halted our smile
We shared a gaze when we heard the loud screaming of my name from her boss outside.
"Go Viola, don't forget to take the best clothes from the boutique, come back with a dress for you baby girl ooool," Ronnie said heartily.
That is my friend's for you, she loves free items, unlike me that see free things as a burden.
"Okay bestie" I replied to her and scurried out to meet his bossy boss, did I just say her bossy boss, I meant our bossy boss.
Outside, I met his bossy boss, I mean our bossy boss inside his Ferrari car with his cold eyes, I won't have believed this man has a real girlfriend if not for Ronnie's words.
I hopped into the back seat, and closed the door, he glanced over his shoulder and said.
"I'm not your driver "
"Sir," I said faintly
"Come to the front sit" he stated in a low growl, sitting in the front seat with him, is what am trying to avoid, he knows how to get me pissed off, but what can I do, I slipped the back seat and hopped in the front seat.
"Use your seat belt," he said calmly.
"So you can speak calmly like this," I murmured.
"What did you say!" He asked like he heard me.
"I'm not talking to you, I'm communicating with the spirit," I said jokingly and I almost burst into laughter.
He stared at me with a pitiful glance and he kicked off his car. though I'm still waiting for him to ask me for his food.
There is a silent ambiance among us as he drives, he will looked at me stylishly and returned his face.
"Why are you looking at me?" I was forced to muttered, even though I didn't thought he will hear, the way he is looking at me is too much.
Had it been his stared is lovely, I could have been happy, but his stare looked odd and it makes me creepy.
"I guess we are in democracy world, where we can looked at people and talk whenever we want without issue, or I'm lying" He asked me with a pretentious slight smile on his face.
instead of replying, a sudden slumbering fell on me and I yawned loudly, though he hissed but I don't fucking care, I'm only after of fulfilling my wish, I make sure he honor the poor including his mother before my work elapse.
Pretending to be asleep is my hobby, my late father and my disowned mother use to complain about it.
*FLASH BACK*
Early in the morning, I woke up looking dirty to myself, I went straight into the bathroom and takes my bath with washing of my teeth.
The bathing water makes me cool because I used an ordinary water. as soon as I exited the bathroom, my back landed on my soft bed, though my bed is small but I love the comfort it gives me. I felt like resting during that day, and I obeyed my body signal and just rested.
After some minutes I heard my parents calling me to come and wash plates since is early in the morning but I pretended like I didn't hear.
But I covered myself with a duvet, because I know my parents they will arrive in my room-Pretending to be asleep.
immediately I heard a foot step approaching my room, I started snoring loudly when my father withered, he looked at me and cover me the duvet very well.
"Too much sleep"my father muttered, as he exited my room , i bursted into laugher and suddenly Jayden shown up out of nowhere, though I didn't know how he came in, but I guessed I was carried away with laughter when he comes in
" I will tell, s-i-s-t-e-r"he floundered.
"Tell what" I shouted at him as if I didn't understand him.
"Don't shout at me, the only that would stop me from telling , is if you will give me your morning" Jayden let out.
Jayden is a foodie, the only thing that will stop him from telling our parent is the food.
After a while I accepted for him, I don't want him to disclose my self,"
but I was able to rest why they were doing the house chores.
I smile widely as my brain refreshed it.
FLASH BACK ENDS
"Are you going to pretend sleeping throughout today?" His harsh word brought stopped my brain from rewinding and replaying the pass.
I opened my eyes,and I was shocked because he had parked the car in front of a restaurant alreadym.
