EPISODE 18
I open the door and step in. My mouth hung open at the sight, it’s marvelous. I look around in awe.
“Are you just gonna stand there or you are gonna come in?” I hear Jackson’s voice ask.
I wake up from my Dreamland and walk in. I look at Jackson sitting on his big swivel chair, he looks even more intimidating sitting on it.
I raise the flask up and plastered a very wide fake smile on my face .
“I brought your lunch, sir” I said.
“Put it on the table” he said.
I put it on the table and turn to leave, but his voice stop me from moving an inch.
“And where are you going?”
“I’m going back to the mansion” I answered.
He pause and studies me for a moment.
“Really?” I nod my head. “Then who is that guy waiting for you outside?”
I bite my lower lip, thinking of what to say.
“I asked you a question” he said.
I guess there’s no need to lie, it’ll be better if I just say the truth.
“Actually, I want to have lunch with him” I said.
I see his jaw clenched. He looks at me from head to toe, then shakes his head in disapproval.
” Well, you can’t have lunch with him” he said glaring at my expose stomach.
” Why? I’m free now!” I said.
” You’re not free. I just added a new rule, you must have lunch with me every day” he said.
My mouth hang open. I stare at him in disbelief. Is he for real?
“But sir…”
“No buts. Now come and sit down let’s eat”
I open my mouth and close it again, I really don’t know what to say. Why is working for him so hard?
“Then what about my friend outside?” I asked.
He looks into his laptop and back to me.
“I’ll tell someone to send him back” he said.
“No, no. I’ll tell him myself” I said.
He keeps quiet for a moment and think about it.
“You have only ten minutes”
“Ten minutes?” I asked. Doesn’t he know how slow the elevator ride is?
” Your time starts now!”
I quickly turn and rush out of the office. I made it back to Victor in no time.
I approach Victor with a nervous smile, and clear my throat.
