The Arrogant Mrs. CEO

Chapter 4

Peter shook his head in rejection as he couldn't sleep with a woman for money. He sighed and finally walked back to the bench in front of the closed shop to sit and stare out at the busy road, as he didn't have a home and was waiting for the night to completely fall so he could return to the under-bridge where they slept every night.

Meanwhile, Cindy arrived home in her father's mansion, which was a mighty duplex house, as she was the only child of her billionaire parent. She parked her red car in their garage and stepped down, while she walked up to the mansion's frontage to go into their house.

The duplex mansion was painted white and had beautiful flowering green plants in the front, along with glass walls.

Cindy walked into their living room and met her mother's maid, Esther.

"Welcome home, Aunt Cindy!" Esther greeted her, but Cindy frowned and paused as she scolded Esther.

"Haven't I warned you to stop calling me Aunt Cindy? Here, take this car key and go to my car, bring out the white polythene bag that I forgot in there, and take it upstairs to my bedroom."

Cindy handed her car keys to Esther, as she didn't like Esther, and just then, her mother stepped out from the kitchen as she heard Cindy's voice.

Esther was related to Cindy from Cindy's mother's side, but Cindy did not want to acknowledge Esther as her relative. She hated to share anything belonging to her, and she did not like how her mother had been caring for Esther since her mother traveled to the village and brought Esther to their house.

"Cindy," Mrs. Bola called as she walked into the living room, drying her wet hands with a small white kitchen towel in her hand. She wore a long brown gown.

"When will you learn to be nicer to Esther and understand that Esther is not really a maid here, but my village aunt's daughter? She's only helping me whenever you're not around to help me," Mrs. Bola said to Cindy, indirectly scolding her daughter.

"Mom... Good afternoon," Cindy greeted her mother as she stared ahead at the living room stairs. She said, "I know that Esther is not a maid, Mom, but tell her to stop calling me Aunt, as it may seem like we are related. But we are not sisters, and I don't need her closeness to me."

"Cindy..." Mrs. Bola frowned, and Cindy stopped speaking. She said, "I have to go upstairs now, Mom. I will be back to join you for dinner."

Cindy cat-walked to the stairs and went upstairs to her bedroom. Mrs. Bola sighed and stared back at Esther, saying, "It's okay; you can go and bring what she sent you to get."

"Okay, ma," Esther replied, and she finally walked out of the house.

Cindy walked into her bedroom and kept remembering the handsome yellow man that she saw at the shopping mall area. She couldn't stop thinking about him and how she had reacted.

She walked up to her room window to pull it open and allow the gust of wind to blow into her bedroom, which was painted pink.

Cindy then walked up to her room mirror to stare at her beautiful yellow reflection again.

She was a cute young lady, and she smiled satisfactorily at her reflection, but she couldn't stop thinking about whether she could become the handsome yellow man's wife.

"Gosh, imagine just him and me as a couple, with him touching me and bathing with me." Cindy got lost in her trance as she thought of herself and Peter as husband and wife.

Her room door pushed open without a knock, and Esther walked in, causing Cindy to jolt out of her trance. She glared at Esther for interrupting her sweet thoughts.

"I'm sorry; I brought the white nylon that you sent me to get," Esther said as she immediately apologized to Cindy.

"Go on and keep it on the chair and then leave," Cindy dismissed Esther. Esther immediately rushed to the white plastic chair to drop the nylon and darted out of Cindy's room.

Cindy sighed after Esther left her room, and she walked up to her bed to sit, taking off her red shoes to release her feet.

Cindy stood up again from her bed, as she didn't want anyone else to disturb her thoughts about the handsome yellow man who she was beginning to think too much about. She walked up to her room door to lock it.

Just then, she heard a knock again and asked, "Who's there?"

"It's me, Cindy. Open up," Mrs. Bola replied, surprised to hear her daughter's voice from the door.

She had seen when Esther ran out and wondered what Cindy did to Esther that made her run out like that.

Cindy pulled her room door open, and her mother walked in and smiled at her.

"What's up, Mom? I want to take my bath now?" Cindy asked her mother, who had majestically walked into her room. Mrs. Bola smiled and replied, "Close the door first and come sit on the bed."

Cindy shut her room door and walked up to meet her mother, but she refused to sit.

"I want to be quick with my bath, Mom. Just go on and tell me why you're here," Cindy said as she looked away. Her mother replied, "Okay. Actually, your father called me today and told me that he has accepted a marriage proposal on your behalf. Tomorrow, which is Sunday, Jeremy Lukeman will be here to see you."

"Why, Mom? I'm not interested in Jeremy," Cindy replied. Though she didn't know Jeremy, she was familiar with who his father was in the city.

"You don't have a choice, Cindy, and don't you dare misbehave before him tomorrow. Be fast, as I'm waiting for you downstairs, so we can have our dinner together as a family," Mrs. Bola said, standing from the bed to leave Cindy's room.

"Mom..." Cindy tried to protest, but Mrs. Bola said, "No excuses. Be fast with your bath. I will be waiting."

Mrs. Bola exited Cindy's room, and she could hear Cindy screaming out in her bedroom, "Oh!! Is it by force to marry now?"

Mrs. Bola shook her head and walked away, going downstairs to wait as she wondered where she went wrong in raising her only daughter. She knew that Cindy was rude, despite Cindy's intelligence.

Cindy finally walked back to her bathroom to bathe and continued thinking about Peter. She didn't know his name, and she felt bad about how she had publicly insulted him and also thrown money at him.

Cindy thought, "I just hope to see him again." She stripped off her white gown and went to bathe. She couldn't stop thinking about what her mother said too.

Cindy knew that she had been in a lot of failed relationships due to her arrogance and her refusal to get intimate with any of the men she had dated before in the past.

She was only a 24-year-old lady, and she was a lawyer too. She sighed and walked into her bathroom to bathe quickly and then join her mother for dinner, as she knew she could not marry Jeremy.

Bathing quickly in her bathroom, Cindy remembered her last ended relationship. The last guy she dated was a billionaire, and he asked her to perform o******x on him.

Cindy couldn't bring herself to do such nonsense, as she found it repulsive. She had told David, "How do you expect me to do such, with what?". She couldn't bring herself to stay in the room with him.

She quickly packed up her clothes and bolted out of the house, as David didn't dare to stop her either.

Cindy was a commissioner's daughter, and David knew it was best not to trespass. Even though he liked Cindy and wanted her in bed with him.

He told his bodyguards to allow her to go.

Cindy remembered that night she had broken up with her last boyfriend because of that. She even blocked him online and blocked his calls, telling him it was over.
