MICHAEL'S P. O. V
Miss Bennett left the living room as I instructed her. I could see her mum's anger. I didn't want to see Miss Bennett being hurt. That is why I blocked her mother from slapping her.
"Was my daughter with you last night" Mrs Bennett asks
"Yes" I answered
"What! My daughter is working for you and you are taking advantage of her" Mrs Bennett said
"Excuse me" I said shockingly
I can't believe she was accusing me when she doesn't even know what happened
"My daughter is just twenty-five years old and you are old enough to be her father. I can't believe you did this" Mrs Bennett said
"I am not her father" I said calmly
"That doesn't give you the reason to....(Mrs Bennett) I stopped her from talking. I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mrs Bennett, don't jump in to conclusions. Your daughter got drunk last night and coincidentally I was at the club so I took her home because she wasn't able to give me her house address. Trust me I didn't do anything you are thinking to your daughter. The reason why I brought her home was because I felt that you and her father will be worried. I am a single father and I know how parents are when their children disappear" I said
"Oh my goodness I can't believe this. When did Anna start drinking? What could have made her drink like that" she said in a confusing state
"Mrs Bennett, your daughter was broken hearted last night. She saw her boyfriend with another woman. I made my analysis base on what she said" I said
"Harry cheated on Anna" she asked shockingly
"It seems you know him" I said
She nods slightly
"Alright I will take my leave please take care of your daughter" I said and stood up.
I walked towards the door and she stopped me
"Excuse me sir, please I am sorry for misjudging you" she said
"Don't worry. I am not offended" I said
"Please can I ask you a question" she asked
I nod
"Tell me something sir. Did you do all this for my daughter as a parent, human being or a man" she asked
I looked at her with confusion in my mind
"Mrs Bennett I don't understand your question" I said
"Sir I am a mother and I can see clearly what you feel for my daughter. You didn't bring her home because you are a parent. You brought her home because you want to protect her from being punished" she said
I stood there for a while not knowing what to say
"Sir you are old enough to be her father please whatever feelings you have develop for her must not hurt her. She has been through a lot" she said
"Mrs Bennett, what kind of feelings do you think I have for your daughter" I asked
She smiles
"I will let you answer that yourself. All I can say is that I know my daughter will get hurt if you follow your heart" she said
"What makes you think that way" I asked
" This is because you are world's apart" she said
I left the house in confusion. Mrs Bennett saw right through me. She knows I have feelings for her daughter.
I drove home quietly
BRIANNA'S P. O. V
Oh my goodness I wonder what Mum and Mr Craine are talking about. I sat down quietly with a confused mind. Minutes later mum walked in.
"Mum is Mr Craine gone" I asked
She nods
"Anna you shouldn't have gotten drunk last night" she said
"Oh my goodness I can't believe Mr Craine told my mum everything. Now I am doomed" I said to myself
"Mum I..... (I tried to explain but Mum stopped me)
"I know everything dear. Harry is a looser. He didn't see how much you loved him" she said cupping my face
I burst into tears. My mum hugged me while I cried. I stopped crying after a while
"Mum did Mr Craine tell you everything" I asked
My mum nods
"Oh my goodness I can't believe he knows everything. How can I face him now" I said
"Dear relax. I don't think your boss is offended" mum said
"Mum my boss is a perfectionist. I know he is going to fire me" I said
"I don't think he will do that" she said
"Mum why are so confident about that" I asked
"Freshen up and come down for something to eat" she said ignoring my question
"I ate at Mr Craine's house" I said and slept on the bed lazily.
It's Monday morning and for the first time I arrived at the office before Mr Craine. I checked through my emails and realised that he has left some work for me. I worked on them and by afternoon I was done.
I went to his office to deliver them.
"I must make sure he is not inside. I have to avoid him" I said to myself
I opened the door slowly. I peaked in and it was empty. I tip toed and place the documents on his table. I run out quickly.
It's been a week after the incident at the club and I have been trying to avoid Mr Craine. Fortunately for me, he doesn't stay in his office often and I am beginning to wonder why.
Today, I am done with my work so I sneaked in to put them on the table. I was about to walk out when I heard a door opening.
"Are you avoiding me Miss Bennett" Mr Craine's deep majestic incredible voice echoes
"Dang it, I didn't know there was another room in the office" I whispered to myself
"Sir of course not. Why will I avoid you" I said nervously
I walked closer to his table. I was about to talk when his phone rang. I saw the same picture I saw in his study the other day
"Excuse me" he said
"Hi baby. How are you" he said
I looked at how he was talking to his woman and I wished I was in her shoes. Mr Craine must really love her. I kept staring at him. His gorgeous lips, his beautiful dark hair, his sexy eyes, his strong arms.
"He is so beautiful" I said to myself
He cleared his throat and I was snapped out of my dream.
"Miss Bennett what are you thinking about" he asked
"S-s-sir nothing" I replied
"You are lying" he said
"Sir please it's true" I said quickly
"Alright. Please clear my schedules. I have an appointment" he said and left
"He is definitely going to meet his woman" I said sadly.
I worked for a while and also went home.
