The two men were so beaten up that they scurried away with their tails in-between their legs but not after giving her a threatening look but she wasn't moved by the look they gave her. She turned to look at the red haired man.
He looked at her with an appreciative smile, he now saw her as a saviour, he never knew that such a delicate looking girl just took down two strong men, though it was hard to believe but the evidence was standing before him and the fact that he was still in one piece was enough to tell him that it was all real, a girl just saved him.
"Thank you so much, I am so grat....."
"I don't need your appreciation in words, I saved your ass, it wasn't easy on my side, in return, you'll have to pay for my generosity, it's not everyday people get their asses saved by me, you should be feeling honoured"
Her firm voice interrupted him with an air of authority which the man did not fail to feel and he felt shaken, getting on her bad books was the last thing he wanted or else his balls may be at stake, he quickly nodded his head like a tattle with his five..no.. sixth senses at attention to the Hitler standing before him.
An evil grin laced her lips as she took slow steps closer to him, he felt his leg would give up at anytime with how scary she looked, his brain was thinking about what she would ask in return but it gave no suggestions, he heard her say..
"I need a place to stay, NOW"
He blinked, once, twice, and checked if he heard correctly, though her voice was low but he still heard her but to confirm, he repeated what she said..
"Y..you need a p.. place to stay? now?"
"Yes, that's how you will compensate me"
She answered his question to his dismay, how was he going to get her a house now! it was not only hard but he also lacked that kind of money to rent an urgent house for her. He felt a lump in his throat and he gulped.
"But where do I get you a house? it won't be easy to find any"
She chuckled at his reply, immediately, she dropped her bossy attitude and causally said to him..
"I'll live with you till am settled, you have no say in this, my decision is final, now where do you live? take me there."
His eyes widened at what he heard coming from her but he said nothing in refusal.
"Oh, by the way, am Christy, Christy Millner, what do I call you?"
"You can call me Jace, Jace Broderick, I live in the fourth floor of that apartment building over there"
He pointed towards the building standing not far from them and she nodded her head in satisfaction, she turned to her suitcase at the opposite side of the street and gestured for him to go carry her things to his house and he complied without any complaint earning a smile from Christy.
The Bentley car that was packed on the other side of the street took off after the two pairs of eyes saw the two figures walk away.
Both Christy and Jace both arrived at his apartment on the fourth floor, it wasn't luxurious but was good enough to accommodate a person like her who was used to seeing a luxurious house, it had two rooms which she was grateful about because she didn't want a case whereby one of them would sleep in the room while the other in the living room, each room had their own bathroom and there was a kitchen and dining room, the house was good enough for a single person and was also comfortable too.
She settled herself in her room and fell on the soft bed, her thoughts went back to her home in Ranyer, remembering what she did, she felt no remorse about it. What she wanted was a simple life, a stress free life and not a forced life but her parent were only bothered about fame and public views, everything to them is money, money and money. Christy had no idea when she fell asleep but when her eyes opened again it was dark outside indicating that it was night already.
She opened her suitcase and brought out her pajamas and entered the bathroom to shower. Christy showered for a long time, she was already dressed when she walked out of the room to find the dinning table already set for dinner.
Jace walked out of the kitchen with his hands wet and she complimented him in her head for being considerate, they both gave each other a smile and sat opposite side each other on the table.
"So, what do you do for a living?"
Christy broke the silence with her question, her face was facing her food and did not notice the expression that came on his face for a splitting seconds before he recomposed his expression.
"I work as an agent for a housing company, and you? what do you do for a living?"
She raised her head from her plate to look at him before she replied..
"Nothing as for now but I'll apply for an application in a car company, you cook good"
She was enjoying the meal and was particularly surprised that he could cook so well, he smiled a little and nodded in reply. They ate and finished their food and Jace suggested he would wash the dishes and Christy just let him without disturbing him, she retired to bed but could not sleep again because she woke up not long ago.
With nothing to do, she decided to browse her phone, she checked on which company would be best to apply her application, she kept browsing until she saw a company's name that caught her interest, AJ automobiles, she read more about the company and she immediately chose it and she saw that they would be open for an interview in one week.
