EPISODE 9
Please don’t tell me you saw my face last night. I can’t fail on this mission before actually even starting it.
I study his stance. His shoulders tensed, his eyes darken, his fist and jaw clenched as if he’s fighting with himself.
I bow my head in confusion.
“You can’t work here. You’re fired!” He gritted out.
“Jackson man. What the hell are you saying? You can’t just fire her because of this little mistake” Bright said.
” Yeah, it’s just a little mistake. I didn’t know you don’t like spicy food” I said.
He avert his gaze to me. When he look at me, his gaze softens a little but it was a flash, his eyes harden again and turn even darker.
“I have my reason for firing you! Go pack your things and leave my house” he commands.
“Hey, hey. It hasn’t come to that yet, let’s talk about this like adults” Bright said.
I cross my arms across my chest and scoffs.
The rumors are true, all he’s good at is destroying people’s lives.
Well, I don’t think I can complete this mission, now he’s offering me opportunity to leave. I better leave before he changes his mind and kill me.
“You want me to leave? I’ll leave!” I said and turn to go upstairs, but Bright runs in front of me.
He leans towards me and whisper in my ear.
“You can’t leave, you’re the only one who I think can put up with his mood swings. And besides, I didn’t take you to be a quitter”
I think about it for a moment. He’s right. I can’t just sit back and watch Lizzy's career go down the drain without doing anything.
Even if I don’t make it out, I will make sure I help Lizzy expose Jackson’s secret.
I can manage to put up with his off and on mood swings.
A loud bang draws my attention back to Jackson.
He’s glaring daggers at Bright, if looks could kill I’m sure Bright would already be six feet under.
“Bright? In my office!” Then he marches upstairs angrily.
“Is he always like this?” I asked.
“Yeah. Especially to new people, but you will like him when you get to know him”
“Hmm, yeah right”.
“I’ll be right back. Please don’t leave yet” he said and hurrys off.
Bright is easy going and easy to please too. I wish he was my boss.
Bright enters Jackson's home office. He see Jackson standing by the window, looking out of the window.
I bet he’s got the best view in his office, you can see the beautiful of LA from his window.
“Jackson, I…”
“I don’t wanna hear it, Bright. She can’t work here” he said. He turn around to face me.
“Ok, tell me why you don’t want her to work for you?” Bright asked.
Jackson avert his gaze from Bright and begin to look around. Bright could see Jackson's face turning red, he’s blushing.
“Because she’ll become my weakness, I can’t let that happen” he said.
Become your weakness?
” How can she become your weakness? She’s just your housekeeper and the relationship between you two is just boss and employee relationship” Bright told him.
