EPISODE 16
“Give me your phone” he said.
I gave it to him. He begin to type on it. After typing he gives it back to me, I see his number on it, saved Jackson Mark.
“That’s my number, call me when the lunch is ready” he turns to Bright, “Let’s go” then he heads out.
James gives me thumbs up and rushes after Jackson.
Okay…. What just happened?
Anyway, I carry on with my morning chores.
By the time I’m done with my morning chores, it’s already 11:50am. I grunt, I guess I won’t get any rest before I prepare Jackson's lunch.
That Jackson guy deserve some spanking.
I get on with Jackson's lunch, halfway through my phone beep.
I pick it up from the counter and see it’s Victor calling me. I press the answer button and bring the phone closer to my ear.
Me:- hey Vic, what’s up?
Vic:- hey, Mirabel, I was hoping you are free so that we can have that lunch we talked about last time..
Me:- Oh.
I think I can use some time away from this house, also I need a tour around LA. And Vic can make an excellent tour guide.
Me:- ok, sure.
Victor:- perfect. I’ll pick you up, send me your address.
Me:- sure!.
I hang up and text Victor the address of this house.
I pack up the food in a flask and head to my room to take a bath. After bathing I changed into a blue crop top and a black jeans bumshort. I wear my sneakers and head out.
I didn’t wait long, before a car, a range rover sports stops in front of me. The door open and Victor steps out.
“Woah! I didn’t take you to be a rich guy” I said.
“I try not to brag. Anyway, where are we going?” He asks.
” Well, first of, I don’t know anywhere here in LA. Second, I’m gonna drop this at my boss’s office first” I told him.
” Alright, I know the perfect spot to take you. Hop in let’s drop your boss’s lunch first” he leads me to the passenger side and open the door.
Hmmm. He’s such a gentleman, unlike that cold Jackson.
I enter and he close the door, he round the car and sits on the driver’s seat..
“I have to call my boss to ask for direction” I told him.
” No problem”
I dialed Jackson's number, he pick on the first ring. It’s almost as if he was waiting for the call.
“Mirabel” he said.
I roll my eyes. He have a funny way of answering calls..
“Your lunch is ready, I need directions to your office, sir”
He stays silent for a moment.
“Tell the cab driver to bring to Mark's enterprises Inc” he said.
“Please take me to Mark’s enterprises Inc”
” Alright” he starts the car and begin to drive. “So, Jackson Mark is your boss?”
“Yeah. Any problem?” I asked.
He hesitate a little.
” No” he answered.
The drive from the mansion to Mark's enterprises was a short but silent one.
Victor didn’t say anything after learning that Jackson Mark is my boss.
Maybe Jackson has hurt his family too, but I guess he doesn’t want to talk about it. So I didn’t bother asking.
To be continued....
