chapter 58

Dr. Alex butted in, breaking the tranquility that lasted for almost five minutes.

"Hope y'all are enjoying the meal?"

I nodded "yes, Mia is a good cook".

"Thanks to God you didn't say Mia is a good chef" she said betoning on the chef while her index and middle fingers were dangling in the air.

"Oh. Yeah, Mia you're a good chef" Dr. Alex giggled and then grabbed a seat.

"Not now, please, enough of the flattering, do not cause my cheeks to explode, please" haha we all laughed. 

"Dr. Alex can I see you in camera? I spoke with partial guilt in my tone. Mia swiftly turned to me, pretending to adjust the collar of my shirt and then whispered softly to my ears it only happened accidentally, Dam, you don't have to tell Dr. Alex, just tell him the words spilled out of your mouth.

Thanks, Mia for the proper dress up, I winked and forcefully let out a grin. She saw the weakness in my eyes, she knew I was a novice.

She scoffed and said "Oh. You're welcome"

"So, Damian you needed to see secludedly" Dr. Alex interrupted Mia who was about talking.

I turned to Mia, she spread an evil grimace on her face causing me to sweat profusely, my lips began to quiver.

"Uhm...yeah...sorry, I mean, uhmm, ehh, no...the words spilled out of my mouth" my words stumbled.

"Are you sure?" Dr. Alex questioned curiously making his tone sounded suspicious.

"Yes, I am" I replied. I moved swiftly and said "excuse me, I wanna make use of the restroom".

I was in the restroom, flickering my eyes and raking my fingers on my hair, I stared at mirror, my reflection was like one who is suffering from nervous breakdown. What the hell just happened? What the hell is going on here? I began to question myself randomly. Who's Mia to Dr. Alex? Why did she stop me from telling Dr. Alex? And by the way, that wasn't what I wanted to tell him, I wanted to tell him about Miss Anonymous and the horrifying dream. Am I really safe here? I yelled making my voice echo out of the restroom.

"Yes, you're safe, Damian" Mia assured me as she gently closed the door so it wouldn't crack a sound. 

"Can I confide in you, Mia?" I asked her with anxiousness written all over my face.

"Definitely, I am all here for you" Mia said as she drew close to me like she was doing mouth-to-mouth respiration.

don't Damian, don't trust her my guts instincts began to speak to me but I overshadowed the thought of not trusting her.

"Well, I have a whole lot of things to tell you about. Ever since I....

" Ever since you what, Damian? Dr Alex interrupted as he came in, Mia was so close to me, her right hand was akimbo while her left hand was on my shoulder. 

"Oh, ever since he was here in the restroom, he's been trying to turn on the bubbles in the bathtub, you know he's never used it" Mia answered sharply as she took her hands off my shoulder gesturing to the bathtub I fully know how to operate.

Damn it! This lady is so smart and a quick liar "yes, Dr. Alex" I butted in.

"I don't know he's never used the bathtub, and why so close to him like you were about kissing him" Dr. Alex puckered.

He was about opening the door when he heard your footsteps, so I stopped him swiftly" Mia answered.

"I hope I am convinced" Dr. Alex said as he splurged out of the restroom. 

I have to hold on to myself. I mustn't disappoint Dr. Alex, he's offered help to me, I shouldn't be a douchebag. I dashed out of the restroom pushing Mia out of my way. Mia let out a devilish laugh as she walked behind me.

"Don't tell me he didn't spill out, Mia" Sarah questioned Mia over the phone.

"Sarah, he was about telling me then Dr. Alex butted in, don't put the blame of me, miss, I actually did my best" Mia defended. 

"It's obvious you did your best, pfft!" Sarah said in disappointment.

"Hey, mademoiselle, do you think it is that easy? Mia retorted, it wouldn't have been a difficult task but Dr. Alex is a hard-to-convince being, I know him so well, you puckle! Mia hurled over the phone.

"Okay. Fine. I admit I'm just being too malignant, I know" Sarah spoke softly accepting defeat.

"Hey babe, that tone isn't gonna make me softhearted about my funds, you got my bank details, transfer my pay" Mia spoke sassily. 

"What the hell you talking about, you didn't even do as planned, not even a penny would you see" Sarah scoffed passing her words through her gritted teeth.

"You know what Sarah, you're selfish and greedy and malevolent and malicious and bitchy and sassy and

Sarah cut Mia short " Hey, enough of that, you gonna get a ding dong on your mobile phone ASAP, don't slay my throat via phone. Bye, Mia. And lest I forget, your hands must be on deck"  Sarah spoke with authority and then ended the call.

Damnit! This babe is a real bitch, too self-centered. She didn't even bethink about the danger and the risk she's gonna put my job at when Dr. Alex finds out. What am I even talking about? My memory slipped that her ego is never gonna let her think to that extent egoistical" Mia hissed loudly as she slammed the kitchen door walking down the stairway.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's been two weeks since I last visited my dad's company and right now, at this moment, I have to go, his P. A, Natalie had been running the company. I really need to get there so it wouldn't be antiquated 'cause the last time I checked in, Natalie was off and I noticed the company was close to moribund. Cobwebs were dangling on the ceiling like  dreamcatcher, the dust there could make an Asthmatic patient die easily. I spoke with Dr. Alex about it and he was okay by that. I've even forgotten about the nightmare and Mia's been keeping her distance thanks to God. I inhaled deeply.

I yawned as I buttoned my tuxedo, I knew I was starving, I was really avoiding Mia else I'd have gone to her right now. Anyway, I'd visit the restaurant before seeing dad's company. I drove down to a restaurant not too far from the house, I ordered for a cup of coffee and hamburger. Ew. I said beneath my breath to myself as the meal was handed. I was kinda satiated, though. I just sat down, waiting, waiting for no one actually.

"Hey, care for a glass cup of vodka? A pretty lady screamed over the bar.

"Yes, please" I replied sharply.

She came to where I was seated and then handed me a glass cup of vodka.

"Thanks so much, lass" I said sipping my vodka gently as I stared at her through the transparent cup.

Oh, you're welcome, lad" she smiled.

Her smile melted my heart and gave me a heart drop. What a wow! How could one person be this pretty? I thought.

I smiled back sheepishly, "I am Damian Felix, you are?" I asked grinning, showcasing my 32 teeth like one who's in the Rehab. 

"I am Samantha" she winked at me biting her Lower lip. 

Damnit! This just made her so extremely beautiful. Her lips, her nose, were perfection! Her eyes were as beautiful and shinny as Cupid, her Cologne tantalised my senses causing goosebumps to explode all over my body, her smile wasn't broad but it gave me a jaw drop, she's perfection!
