Chereads / A MERMAID'S REVENGE / Chapter 23 - 23:Mr. Cedric

Chapter 23 - 23:Mr. Cedric

Jennie excused herself and he got in. I couldn't believe my eye, just an old man in his sixties was the same stranger who thought I was killing myself the other day, the same stranger whom I had told that I did not need his pity. The same stranger that I was rude to earlier, right now he had a super serious face and was in a black suit. Jennie had lied about his age, I'm not sure if he's past thirty, I can't tell, he is not old but his visuals are breathtaking. He looks so good but he didn't look as friendly as he had been the other times I had encountered with him. He looked so professional right now and I realized that I hadn't paid much attention to him before like I was right now. His eyes met mine and I looked away immediately.

"I'm here to check if you are okay," He said once he got near me. Well, his voice had changed. Why did he sound so professional? I tried to smile but he looked at me with a serious face and I stopped immediately.

"Yes... Yes sir... I'm fine... I'm sorry about what happened earlier and you can just deduct my salary.... and I'm sorry I was rude to you earlier..." at least I managed to say something. I looked at Jennie and she was looking at me confused. Probably because I said sorry for being rude.

"That's good to know..." He said and left the room immediately. For a moment I could breathe well now. I locked the door to ensure if he thought of coming back he won't get in. I can't stand the aura that he was giving. He even acted like we had not met and that he didn't know me. Anyway, whatever.

I had sat on the bed and Jennie sat next to me. I was now waiting for a bunch of questions and I could sense them.

" Wait a minute, I'm confused here... seems like you met Mr. Cedric before I introduced him to you.... and where did you meet and why were you rise to him, he barely says anything to anyone so I'm just wondering how you ended up being rude to him!" Just as I had thought.

"I thought he was just a nuisance, he came to me while I was still cutting the grass and tried to talk to me but I was so mad that I couldn't take it... I mean I couldn't even think he was the owner of this place because he was dressed casually just like a guest here or something... He didn't seem as a classy person like he was now..." I said and she kept on looking at me as if she was expecting more.

"Okay, just know you are in trouble..." She said standing and moving around as if thinking of something.

"Okay, I'm confused here... If he was mad he wouldn't have brought me here right? So I don't think I'm in any trouble..." I said confidently. As much as I was confidently saying it, I can't forget his cold and Professional aura, and trust me I was even doubting what I had said. It felt like I was contradicting myself.

"Can we just leave that... Why did you lie to me he is an old man huh? I asked and she laughed.

"I was trying to pull your legs... Anyways I'm so glad that at least I got an inch close to him and it's all because of you... " she said and embraced me in a hug for which I was not prepared.

"Okay, so now are you not gonna tell me about Mr. Cedric? Or should I say your lover? " I said and she immediately broke the hug and then unlocked her phone.

"See these are his pictures, I've been saving them for almost two years now... I never thought that I would get close to him... You know I was so happy when I heard that this hotel belongs to him... " okay whatever she was saying was not the kind of information I needed. It's like she was giving me a story of her lover.

"Okay now let's move to the important details... You can save that for later" I said and she smiled.

"He is Korean that's why his skin is so pale and he is so handsome, he's an artist, and has chains of businesses including this resort here in Los Angeles. He is super rich and a model. Has done modeling and been an ambassador for multiple leading clotheslines in the world.... doesn't talk much and only says a few words...one more thing, he is twenty-seven years old and has been leading the record for the most handsome man for the past seven years now, so it's since he was twenty...so cute isn't it " she said and I smiled at her.

I had learned two things. We were in Los Angeles right now and the other one, I guess I don't have to say it out loud.

"So you are in love with Mr. Cedric? " I asked and she looked at me with a serious face.

"No... I just love him but ill never date a celebrity... Plus if I date him his fans might set a price for my head, I don't match him anyway cause he needs a super beautiful girl with an angelic face just like you... Actually, you two match a lot... " okay I had to end the conversation right now because I did not like wherever it was heading.

"Tell me about vampires," I said and she looked at me with a look of you ain't serious.

"Seriously? " She said and I nodded.

"How can we jump from something so important to some stupid myths of things that don't even exist? You're so boring.. " she said looking at me angrily.

"So are you going to tell me or not... Or would you rather let me find it for myself... You bought me a phone remember? I can just google it" I said and she clapped her hands.

"Then do it... In fact, you shouldn't have asked me because the phone has better details than I do... At least you'll make use of your phone because I've never seen you use it anyways" so she was serious that she was not going to tell me.

"Please... I wanna hear it from you... You know you are my best friend right? " I said pretending to pout and then she came and sat next to me.

"I'll tell you only if you promise to do three things for me....deal or no deal? " she asked and I was a little confused. She didn't even let me know the kind of things she wanted me to do.

"Can you at least tell me what you want me to do so that I think about it? " I asked and she refused.

"I'm not negotiating so if you want me to help you then just think about it... It's not an easy task telling stories of vampires. It's crazy how people think that they exist whilst they don't. They are just like mermaids... We only get to see movies or old stories about them " she said and then looked at me.

"Do you think mermaids exist?" why was she looking at me like that? She was looking at me as if she knew who I was.

"I don't think so but who knows, ninety-five percent of the ocean has not been explored... anyway let's not talk about that... It's a deal... You get to tell me those crazy stories and I'll do what you want. " I said and she hugged me. I don't know why she loves hugs so much.
