Chapter 20 - Solve my problem

"Arrrh!" I exclaimed, running out of the restaurant as I made my way towards the car.

I usually do this trick in some restaurants, and it works, but I guess karma is a bitch after all.

The restaurant is among the most popular restaurants in town, so I expected that the owner might be a young CEO or something.

I have always experienced that in other restaurants. Besides, I have used this method to gain jobs over the past few years, so this is a blow to my face.

'A priest owns a restaurant? Please forgive me, Lord.' I whisper within myself, asking God to forgive me.

I decided that it would be best to put on my black complete suit because that's the only clothes that I look professional on.

On getting to Ace mansion, I park the car in the garage, and I gently place the car key on the table.

It's nice that Ace and his brother are nowhere to be found.

While taking Bellatrix to school, I didn't see them, so I'm guessing that they must have been sleeping by that time.

Gush! They seem lazier than I had expected.

I tiptoe, making my way inside my room, with the intention that I would just change to something appropriate and take the car with me.

If I search for a job while dressing pleasant, then I am most likely going to be accepted. And if I have to carry the car with me, then they would see me as a rich young lady, who decides to work just because of fun.

Entering inside my room, I slowly close the room door, and finally, I turn around.

"Arrrrhhhhhhh!" I screamed because immediately I turned around, and the first individual that I saw was none other than Ace.

He's currently dressed, but the look on his face gave me a heart attack.

"Why are you scared?" He asked coldly, as his lips curved into a tiny smile.

Arrh! I think I'm going to pass out very soon.

"Why are you here?" I interrogate, trying to ignore his first question.

Truth be told I didn't expect him to have shown up all of a sudden inside my room.

"Sweetie! This house was built by me." He declares firmly.

"Awwn! I see that you have already given me a pet name." I whisper while winking at him.

Ace shakes his head sideways because he's disappointed in my behavior.

"Where did you take my car to?" Ace asked with a cold voice.

"I use it when dropping off my child at school." I sincerely replied.

I believe that Ace isn't aware that Bellatrix is my sister, so for now I would continue calling her my child whenever he's around.

"Why didn't you take a cab?" He asked, sounding pissed off.

"Someone refuses to pay up the money that they owed me," I said, and my answer was indirectly directed to Ace.

"Ohh! So now you are putting all the blame on me?" Ace asked, slightly arching his brows.

I exhale. "Please I'm currently determined to look for a job today, so can you excuse yourself out of my room? I want to change." I utter sincerely.

"I'm not leaving unless you give me a reasonable explanation of why...."

"Please stay. I have no reason to drive you out, besides I'm currently under your roof." I declare cutting him off from his statement, before walking past him.

I don't have the luxurious time to drive him away. Besides, I can just dress in his presence without caring about anything.

He's gay, so he won't lust over my body.

I took off my long shirt that reached my knee level, and I tossed it to the bed.

"What are you doing?" He asked, raising his brows.

"I'm about to get dressed." I simply replied.

"Can't you see that I'm still here?" Ace declares.

Gush!

"I can see clearly." I utter, before taking off my trousers, and I'm now left with my split cut and my singlet.

"Hey!" Ace exclaims, staring at me in complete surprise.

Yeah! I'm aware that the look on his face is that of complete surprise.

"What is it, Ace?" I asked.

"Are you seriously going to get naked right in front of me?" He interrogates.

"Aren't we husband and wife?" I asked.

He exhales. "You are unbelievable!" He scuffed, riding his wheelchair out of the room.

I roll my eyes and continue getting dressed.

I wore my fancy suit which I had worn yesterday while pretending to be the driver of Ace.

Stepping out of the room, I was surprised to see that Ace was still outside the door. "What the hell are you still doing here?" I asked.

"Are you trying to dismiss me?" He questions.

"Isn't it that obvious?" I replied, rolling my eyes.

I made my way towards the sitting room, and without even asking for permission, I grabbed the car key that was currently lying down on the table.

"Wait a minute! Are you trying to steal my car again?" Ace asked, and he looked like an angry beast, due to the expression on his face.

I felt like laughing out loud because his expression isn't going to change anything.

"Hmm yeah! Because first I needed it for an interview and secondly I just felt like taking a ride." I answered while looking up at him with a devilish smile.

"Natasha! you are taking...."

"Hey! Just for a day, kindly try to support me. Please, I'm begging you." I mumble, trying to look cute, as I cut him off from his statement.

"But I need to go to work." Ace declares.

I scuffed. "You have a lot of cars parked in your garage. You can just take one of them." I utter

"That's inappropriate because I love going out with this car. And still, I don't have a driver so I need you to drive me to work." Ace said.

I shake my head sideways because I'm getting confused about my actual job at Ace house. "You are becoming my problem." I scuffed.

"How do you deal with your problem?" He asked. "You solve it." Ace declares, without waiting for me to answer his question.

"Perhaps that's the way you deal with your problems because I deal with my problems by sleeping, allowing them to solve themselves."
