Arabella POV
Damn it , how did I find myself in this situation . Right now, I don't know whether to sit down or just keep standing and wait until he will tell me to do so.
He looks at me all over. I swear I see him smirk. But was that a good smirk or not. Way to go , this is not just going to end just right now.
“ Miss Means, I think it would be wise for you to sit down .” he says in a tone of voice that I am unable to describe.
I look around and then at him just to confirm if he means it since I am dirty overall.
“ Thanks sir .” I say as soon as I sit down. The truth is I need to keep this job. I really need this job. Let me see how far this is going .
I feel so tense . I don't know where this is going to lead us .
“ We meet again,” he says, gaining my attention. With that, he stands up from his seat and moves towards me . He stops when he is only a few inches away from me ,his hands akimbo and then looking at me .
“ The way you are all humbled here , there is no way one can say that it is the same person who was all noisy not even two hours ago.”
Wow!!he really has a perfect memory for sure . Can't he just have forgotten what happened and we move on.
‘ Don't forget you are the trouble causer of everything .’ my subconscious whispers to me . Damn it! Can't she the situation right now.
“ It wasn't my fault .” the words leave my mouth before I am even able to stop them at all.
“ It wasn't your fault ? Are you sure about that ? ” this time he is a bit furious. He is so good at mood swings, if I can say .
“ You broke my car window and you didn't have the guts to even apologize.”
“ You didn't give me any chance to apologize.” I lied.
“ I see, perhaps you thought that because you had that boyfriend of yours then you would be the strongest.”
“ He is not my boyfriend” I justify. But was it even necessary to say that to him.
“ Oh, so he is your husband or." That comes as a statement or question , I just can't tell.
“ No t…”
“ There is nothing that you need to justify about .'' He attacks me immediately as he stands up moving around the office towards the window that shows the rest of the suburb.
There are so many buildings that have been renovated and got better Just like this same building that we are putting down.
I don't know what this means to me. I thought that he would be telling me what my fate is but to my surprise ,he has not said anything to me at all.
“ Oh!! You might be wondering what my name is...I am Jed ...Jed Kigongo ,the CEO of this construction company. In short, I own this building and so many others.”
Damn it ! I can't believe what I put myself into . He is my boss but I can't just believe how silly I was.
“ I think you are now contemplating our little encounter that we had and how we are going to solve it . ” he adds, making my heart pump even more.
Lost for words, I just look on not knowing what to say or do.
“ I am firing your boyfriend ...I mean your husband.”
Did I hear right? He wants to fire Ham. But that is not his problem at all. Everything was my fault . I can't let that happen at all.
“ No no, you can't do that . Ham has nothing to do with all this . It was my fault that your window broke. I am sure you saw everything . Ham has nothing to do with anything ... Please don't do that to him.” I pleaded with him.
“ You surely love him to that extent but I have already made my decision and I am not making any more changes." He says with no emotions.
“But he has a family, his mother and sister depend on him, if anything happens to him and he is fired it means there will not be any way to help them .”
“ That way the two of you are going to learn to do what you are supposed to do and at what time. ”
“ We have talked enough, you can now get out of my office . " He adds as he heads towards the door, opening it for me to get out of the temporary office.
Oh gosh, for sure I don't even know what to do .I hesitate waiting to see what he will say but he doesn't say anything until I am fully out of the room and he closes the door behind me.
It is really my fault.
I didn't expect something like this to happen.
Just when am about to reach my place of works, I hear him say .
“ But we can solve this in another way .”
“ One night in my bed" he adds .
He says making in stand instantly wondering what he means.
Right now , I don't care what it is but anything to do with my best friend ,Ham I am ready to do anything since he has also been doing everything even the impossible just to make sure that I am perfectly okay and in not any kind of trouble. Without any hesitation, I turn around back to Mr Jed , who is standing at the door of the office with it slightly opened.
