"Those things in front are really attractive and interesting to look at." Diego said smiling, he kept staring at her until suddenly his ears started ringing and he felt a sharp pain on his cheek, the young lady had landed him a tight slap.
"How dare you?" Diego finally managed to say after a while, the lady raised her hand at him again but didn't hit him this time, instead she questioned him.
"How dare you say such a disgusting thing to me? You perverted bastard." She hissed at him and went away, fuming.
Ouch! Diego cried out and placed his hand on the place that was paining him.
"That crazy bitch. But damn, I am still in love with that body of hers. Won't mind having her as a girlfriend.
Even if that old man asked me to get married to this beauty, I will." Diego said to himself smiling.
Ouch! He cried out in pain as he got up. He called the house and a car arrived for him in less than thirty minutes.
Ding dong....
Mylar's doorbell rang while she was in the kitchen making breakfast.
"You two better get your asses into that bathroom and get ready quickly." Mylar yelled at Jenny and Mike who were both arguing at the bathroom door as to who will go in first.
She put down the bowl with flour mixture in it and went to check who was at the door.
Jaden! Mylar called out surprised.
"You remember my name." Jaden said with a smile. He was putting on a white singlet, black colored joggers, a white Air max sneaker and he carried a shopping bag in his hand.
"What are you doing here and this early?" Mylar asked ignoring his word. He stopped smiling and at stared at Mylar a little before answering.
"Jenny wanted to wear one of my shirts last night but it was a branded Gucci shirt gifted to me by my late wife so I couldn't let her have it and so I promised to get her something similar and bring it to her door first thing in the morning."
Mylar was impressed by his thoughtfulness and also wondered how such a young handsome man would be a widow, she used to think only old people were allowed to lose their life partners.
Oh! Was the only word she managed to bring out of her mouth.
"And also, Mike asked me to get him a trendy hat. He said something about impressing the new popular girl in school." Jaden added and Mylar asked a weird question.
"Mike likes a girl?"
Like, is Mike supposed to like a guy instead?
"Sorry, that's not what I meant." Mylar quickly corrected herself.
"I understand." Jaden said and giggled. Mylar found it cute, she secretly grew a liking for him simply because of this.
"Umm, so let me just drop this with you. Let them know I brought it for them early as promised." Jaden said and wanted to drop the bag when a strange sentence slipped out of Mylar's mouth.
"I will like to know about you."
She blinked severally after saying this, he was also surprised but glad those words slipped out.
"That's not what I meant. I mean, I want to know more about you because of my siblings, they are getting closer to you and therefore I need to know about you, just to be safe, you know." Mylar kept explaining until he straightened up his body and moved closer to her.
This action surprised her and she quickly shut up. He was so close to her that she could feel his hot breathe on her face.
"Can I come in?" He asked after a while and she nodded. He walked passed her and entered the house and yet she still stood there like a statue.
"God damnit, he's frickin good at catching someone off guard and making them speechless." Mylar whispered to herself when she finally regained her mobility.
Diego walked into one of WM head office and went straight to the accountant's table.
And when he got there, he ordered the young man who was seated on his chair with his fingers busy stamping on the keyboard before him and his eyes glued to the desktop screen.
"I need you to transfer 1m dollars into my account immediately."
"But why sir?" The young man questioned and Diego scoffed at him.
"Why? Do you even have any right to question me?"
"Your granddad who is my boss gave me strict directives not to give you any money even if you threaten me into doing so. I am really sorry sir but I cannot disobey my bosses order and obey yours." The accountant replied.
How dare you! Diego yelled causing the workers around to stand and stare at them.
"I gave him that order." Said Mr. Mateo as he walked in. He stood before Diego and said.
"I should have known sooner that you always come to my Mart branches to threaten my accountants into giving you huge sums of money that get wasted at parties and that you enjoy spending on women."
"Old man, stop with this nonsense of yours. You are beginning to piss me off." Diego said shamelessly looking at his granddad in the eye.
"No one in this company or in any other branches of mine is allowed to give Camilo Diego Wylder any money without my permission." Mr. Mateo said aloud so that everyone could hear and then, he moved closer to Diego and whispered to him.
"If you don't continue going to your dates like a good boy and stop causing trouble for me, then I will ask that even your allowance be reduced to half."
"You can't do that." Diego protested and his granddad said angrily.
"I can do anything. I own this entire empire, I built it with my sweat and strength.
The only reason why I am still ignoring your crimes and taking them as mistakes is because of my dear son. Don't push me to stop considering your late father when I want to punish you, because you won't like what happens to you afterwards."
Hi Jaden!! Mike and Jenny yelled when they saw Jaden seated in their living room/bedroom, he was having the tea and short cake Mylar made for him earlier.
"Hey guys." Jaden said lovingly and they came to give him a hug. Mylar couldn't stop falling for this guy, the way he was getting along with everyone was amazing. And only a extra patience person can tolerate her siblings.
"Who is this?" Mrs. Claire asked after coming out of the kitchen with a mug in her hand.
"He is Jaden, Mike and Jenny's new friend and my neighbor." Mylar replied and Mrs. Claire smiled stylishly taking a good look at his clothing and the shoe he had on.
"Oh nice." She said smiling and quickly went to sit close to Mylar who was opposite Jaden.
"I got you guys your gifts as promised." Jaden said and handed Jenny the shopping bag, they started dragging the bag until Mylar yelled at them to stop.
"Don't mind these two, they are too naughty." Mrs. Claire said smiling and eyed Mike and Jenny secretly.
"I am sorry for this." Mylar apologized on their behave and he told her not to be.
"I guess that's how kids are and I would have maybe gotten a chance to know the feeling if my wife had given birth to our child before she died." Jaden said and sniffed, then Mrs. Claire asked.
"Your wife is dead?"
"I am so sorry about that." Mylar sympathized with him.
"Thank you." Jaden said with a smile.
After a while of spending time with them and receiving silly and unimportant questioning from Mrs. Claire, Mylar excorted him to the door.
"Thanks for letting me come in and serving me such a nice cup of tea and tasty snacks." Jaden said with a side smile and Mylar said.
"You are welcome."
"Do come by when you can." And she added making Jaden face lighten up with a new glow.
"Sure, thanks." He said and went away.
"I like that neighbor of yours and he just lost his wife, poor thing. He doesn't have anyone to share his joys and sorrows with, right Mylar?" Mrs. Claire asked and Mylar knew what she was getting at, so she immediately went to the bathroom.
Diego spent the entire day locked up in his room after the threat he got from his granddad.
"When will that old man die?" Diego asked himself heartlessly and continued talking to himself.
"I hate him so much. He is just trying to control me the same way he controlled my dad until the poor man died in a accident due to failed brakes."
"I just feel like running away. Thank goodness, my date for tonight is at a club, at least I will get to find myself a nice chick for tonight." He said with a smile full of hope.
Mylar received a text from her boss at the club. She was expected to be back in the club after her one week break later tonight.
Since Mylar was the most sought after stripper in her club, she never had a time off. And when she was finally able to force her boss into giving her the one week break, her mom, dad and siblings came to ruin it for her.
Diego wasted time as usual until he was threatened by his granddad again, before he got dressed and called for his driver.
His date was meeting him at the club at 6pm, he got there by 6:15pm.
"You're late." Said a woman whose back was turned against him.
"Check your time missy." Diego said and dragged a chair to face her, his eyes popped after seeing the person before him.
You! The lady gasped.
"Oh my." Diego said and swallowed hard.
