Village Girl And The CEO

Chapter 1

Tina Praise remembered how her friend Prisca came to her house and deceived her into following her to see a friend, claiming that they wouldn't stay long, just a few minutes.

Prisca begged, "Please, Tina, come with me. Let's go see Sharon. I promise you, we won't stay long, just a few minutes. Please, don't say no."

Tina agreed and followed Prisca out of her father's house, and they went to see Sharon.

Prisca knew that if she had told Tina the truth about considering dating Patrick, Tina would not agree. Tina had repeatedly said that she didn't want to have a boyfriend. She didn't want to lose her virginity or disappoint her poor mother, who had been struggling to feed her and her two younger brothers ever since their father abandoned them and ran away with another woman, without them knowing his whereabouts.

As they stepped out onto the village road, Prisca stopped a bike man and dragged Tina to get on the bike with her, before Tina could change her mind.

When they arrived at the apartment where Sharon lived with her elder brother, Tina scanned the front of the house with her eyes, already feeling uncomfortable, and saw a dark man stepping out. He walked up to the compound's exit gate to meet them.

Tina could feel her heart beating loudly in her chest as she saw the man approach them. He hugged Prisca excitedly as they greeted each other before he left.

Tina became very uncomfortable as she noticed the way the man had stared at her before he left. She told Prisca, "Prisca... Why don't you just call Sharon on the phone instead of us going into the house? Just tell Sharon that we are outside waiting for her."

Prisca already knew that Sharon was not yet home, and she replied to Tina, "No, Tina, we have to go inside the house to wait for Sharon to arrive first."

Prisca ignored calling Sharon ,and walked up to the house's front door, unlocking it without even knocking for the house owners to step out.

Tina gulped as she stood aside, staring at Prisca. She blamed herself for following Prisca and not even knowing the way back to her village.

Prisca opened the house door to go inside, as the house was a beautiful bungalow. She paused at the door and said to Tina, "It's not safe to stay out here alone, Tina... Come inside, it's Sharon's brother's house. Let's wait for Sharon to arrive..."

"Sharon's brother's house?" Tina frowned as she repeated Prisca's words. To the best of her knowledge, Prisca never told her that they were going to Sharon's brother's house. Tina had thought they were going to Sharon's family house to see Sharon.

Tina frowned and subtly blamed herself for following Prisca, not even knowing the way back home to her father's house. She finally followed Prisca into the beautiful house.

Prisca was thrilled to see Sharon's brother, Patrick Scott, a handsome black man around 25 years old, wearing just shorts. As he stepped out from the kitchen into his living room, not expecting to see Prisca.

Patrick's eyes lit up as he saw Tina too. He was just wearing boxers, and he hadn't thought of Prisca visiting his house with Tina.

Patrick remembered that he had tried wooing Tina several times, all to no avail, as Tina kept rejecting him and telling him that she was not interested in a relationship.

Prisca immediately rushed up to give Patrick a hug, causing him to fall backward with her onto the nearest blue couch behind him. Prisca sat on his thighs and stared at Patrick sweetly.

Meanwhile, Patrick's eyes were focused on Tina, who was standing nervously beside the entrance door.

As Tina refused to move away from the door, Patrick excused himself from Prisca, telling her, "Prisca... Why not sit on the couch? Let me properly welcome you and your friend, as she looks so uncomfortable, and I'm still cooking too."

"Okay, Patrick," Prisca replied, finally moving away from Patrick's thighs and sitting on the couch beside him.

Patrick stood up from the blue couch, as he had about seven blue couches in his living room. He smiled and walked up to meet Tina, who would rather not look at him.

Patrick remembered how he had tried to woo Tina on his own several times, but she refused and ran away from him.

He had spoken to one of his younger sisters, Sharon Scott, to talk to Tina on his behalf, as Sharon was attending the same government-owned school as Tina, but Sharon refused.

Sharon was corrupt, sleeping with different men at her teenage age of 16 years. She already looked more mature than her age, even though she was slim.

Sharon bluntly told him, "Tina and I are not friends, and you don't expect me to be walking with that local champion. So I cannot speak to her for you."

Patrick remembered that he had begged and bribed his younger sister, and she finally introduced Prisca to him. But in Prisca's mind, she thought maybe he wanted a relationship with her.

Patrick remembered that he had seen Prisca with Tina several times, walking down their village road together, whenever he was traveling home in his car to see his parents in his village. As he was living outside their village, and in a nearby city, but his village was different from Tina's.

Patrick had even asked Prisca, "Prisca, I want to ask you, how about that fair-complexioned friend of yours that I used to see you with, walking together on the village road?"

Prisca had thought that he was just asking, and she told him, "You mean Tina Praise... Tina doesn't have time for guys or any relationship. So just forget about her. Tina is always at home, taking care of her brothers or doing her homework, so I cannot come here with her to see you."

Patrick knew that Prisca thought he wanted a relationship with her, but he knew that Prisca was a cheat, and she was like Sharon, sleeping with different men for money.

Patrick didn't bother asking Prisca any further questions about Tina, but he kept giving Prisca gifts to give to her friend too, whenever she visited.

He asked her to try and bring Tina around whenever she was visiting his home again to see Sharon, and here she was.

Patrick finally walked up to meet Tina and spoke to her, "Hi, pretty lady. I'm sorry that your friend didn't want to introduce us so we could get to know each other better. I'm Patrick Scott. Come have a seat."

Patrick gestured for Tina to have a seat on one of the living room's seven couches, and Tina remained rooted at the door, staring at Patrick's face. She remembered that she had seen him before. He was among the guys who had been bothering her for a relationship.

Tina looked at Prisca's face, but Prisca rather stared away from her in jealousy,, rolling her eyes and looking back at Patrick.

Patrick gestured for Tina to have a seat, but Tina still stood rooted by the door, not replying to Patrick, until she heard him repeat, "Have a seat, please."

Tina finally moved away from the door and walked to sit on one of the living room couches closer to the exit door, as she was afraid to be in a man's house.

Patrick smiled after watching Tina sitting on one of his living room blue couches, as he was still wearing only his boxers, and his chiseled masculine chest was bare.

Prisca then stood up from the blue couch she was sitting on and walked up to meet Patrick. She held his right arm with both hands and told him, "Why not leave my friend alone, Patrick? Let us go inside and enjoy ourselves since Sharon is not home yet."

Patrick frowned and looked at Prisca's face, knowing that all she ever wanted from him was s*x and money. He had refused her advances several times, only asking for Tina. Yet, Prisca didn't want to give up, hoping that he would date her.

Patrick then excused his arm from Prisca's hold and told her, "No, Prisca. Why not make your friend feel comfortable? Let me go inside and get you both some drinks."

With that comment, Patrick hastily excused himself from Prisca and went into his corridor to put on his shirt and get them some drinks.
