In the next 2 weeks, Jeanohntae was released from the hospital and Christian personally went to pick her up. He was at the hospital for an entire week.
His father told him he needs to go back to work. Joseph and Rudy were the ones watching her while he was at work. When he got the news that she would be released. He couldn't contain his excitement.
His excitement quickly dulled as he remembered Nikki and Nellie's intentions at the amusement park. He did not want Jeanohntae to go home without him by her side. So he decided to pick her up and send Rudy and Joseph home.
As he arrived, he saw Rudy and Joseph helping Jeanohntae out of the hospital. He quickly got out of the car to quickly guide her in his vehicle.
"Chris it's okay. I don't want to trouble you from work. I'll head home with them." Jeanohntae said looking and Rudy and Joseph.
"Who said you are troubling me!?? You're coming with me." Christian said.
"It's okay. I'll be fine. You don't need to..." Before she could finish talking, Christian lifted her up in a bridal style and walked to the car.
"I am not taking no for an answer. If I say you're coming with me then you are coming with me, then there is no point arguing with me. You won't win against me." Christian said with a big smile as he looked down at her.
"Put me down! Christian I can walk." Jeanohntae was trying to struggle out of his arms but her body was still weak.
Christian opened the car door and gently set her in. "Didn't I just say you won't win!?? Why still fight me!??" He couldn't contain the smile on his face.
"Jerk!" Jeanohntae punched his chest with all her might but it was futile. Christian didn't feel it.
"I know." Christian smirk and gently closed the door. When the door closed Jeanohntae rolled her eyes. She was a little mad at him but she soon blushed and started smiling.
Christian turned to look at Rudy and Joseph who were smiling. "What are you guys staring at!?? You look creepy."
"We are just wondering, what made you take the time out from work to pick her up when we were clearly here to bring her home." Rudy had a big grin on his face.
"There is a situation at home. Jeanohntae is not safe there." Christian had a dark expression just thinking about the mother daughter duo. Although they were not home, he didn't know if they would go back just to torture Jeanohntae.
Rudy and Joseph's expressions changed instantly when they heard his words. "Son, what are you saying!?? How is she not safe!?? Joseph was filled with curiosity.
"I'll explain later tonight when we get home. I'll bring her to the office with me so I can keep an eye on her." After Christian's words, he turned around and left.
Christian was driving a while with Jeanohntae making sure they weren't being followed.
"Chris, where are we going!?? The house is the other way." Jeanohntae broke the silence.
Christian looked at her and smiled slightly. "We're not going home. You're coming with me to the company."
She opened her mouth to speak but before she could, Christian stopped her. "Don't say anything. You're coming with me. You still want to try and change my mind!??" He lifted one brow and smiled.
Jeanohntae glared at him but didn't want to pry anymore information out of him. So she just leaned back and got comfortable until they reached the office.
After making sure they weren't being followed. They reached the company and got out of the vehicle.
They walked into the building and Christian put on his cold dark face like he does everyday. Jeanohntae was holding onto the hem of his suit jacket. Everyone greeted him, but he didn't greet anyone back. They looked at Jeanohntae and wondered who she was.
Jeanohntae heard whispering and she was sure they were talking about her. Some smiled at her while others glared.
What felt like forever of walking, they reached the elevator. When the doors closed, Jeanohntae let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Christian looked down at the small figure in concern. "Are you okay!??"
Jeanohntae was still nervous from all the eyes that were on her earlier. "I'm fine. Just a little tired."
The elevator came to the 10th floor and they walked to his office. Ruth was sitting at her seat when she saw Christian walking in. "Good morning sir." Ruth smiled.
Christian nodded at her and opened the door for Jeanohntae to enter the office and smile at her. Jeanohntae smiled at Ruth and waved.
Ruth was stunned when she saw Jeanohntae again. 'What is going on!?? Are they close!??. She came in for an interview months ago. What kind of relationship did they have!?? Did he actually smile and hold a door open for someone else!?? That's a rare sight to see.'
Ruth was deep in thought when Christian spoke bringing her back to reality. "Cancel my meeting today. I'll be in the office finishing work on my computer."
"Uh.. y-yes sir. I'll cancel them right now." Ruth said and Christian closed his office door.
"Make yourself at home. I have books and magazines you can read." Christian said smiling at Jeanohntae. "There's a tablet here as well if you want to order food or play games. If you want food just save it to the tablet and Ruth will come to take the order." As he handed her the tablet.
Jeanohntae nodded with a smile and sat on the couch. "You need to rest as well." Christian added as he sat at his desk.
Jeanohntae did not feel tired. "I'm okay, I'm not tired or sleepy.
Christian gave her a suspicious look and raised a brow. "But in the elevator you told me you were tired!??" Jeanohntae's remembered her words. "And besides, doctor's orders. The doctor said for you to rest when you get released and no loud noises so you won't get a headache. Don't argue with me again." Christian smirked.
Jeanohntae grunted and picked up a magazine to read not looking at Christian. He just shook his head with a smile and turned on his computer.
Not long after, she fell asleep with a magazine in her hand. Christian has been so focused on work he didn't notice until the magazine fell off her hand and onto the floor.
He stopped working and looked over, he couldn't help but smile. He walked up to Jeanohntae, he bent down to picked up the magazine. He place it on the table and picked up Jeanohntae's legs so she can lay down comfortably.
He called Ruth into his office. Ruth walked in and noticed the sleepy beauty on the couch. "Yes sir, you called!??" Bringing herself out of her daze.
Christian didn't look up and passed a folder to Ruth. "Look through her file and see if her favorite food is listed and buy 2 plates of food."
"Yes sir." Ruth took the folder and stared at Jeanohntae for a little while before leaving.
Christian looked at the sleeping figure laying on the couch and smiled. 'If I remember correctly. She was in love with dumplings and fries.' He thought to himself.
