CHAPTER FIVE

"You aren't pregnant ma'am". The doctor said.

" But I was. The doctor said I was ".

" Look, I don't think girls at your age should. I mean you're still young and it's too early for that".

"I don't care whatever you say but nothing must happened to this baby 👶. It's my first child. I don't even know whether it's a girl or boy. You've got to help me doctor".

" You can still get pregnant. Your eggs are fertile enough and there's nothing wrong with your body".

"You don't get me. I can't loose this baby".

" I just told you that you aren't pregnant. I'm sorry ma'am. Please leave. I've got more patients to attend to". He said trying to sound patient .

I entered the office and sat down on my seat. Rubbing my stomach gently, I sighed 😔. My baby. Our baby Chris. It's gone. I cried.

"Ms. Turner, please come to my office". He said through the transmitter. I stood up gently wiping my tears and entered.

" You called for me". I was in front of him.

"A while ago, you weren't here".

" I just went out to get some coffee ☕ ".I lied.

" You could've made some here".

"I........ The one out taste better".

" You don't need to lie Ms. Turner. If you're pregnant, just tell me".

"Were you stalling me?" I stare at him looking surprise 😮.

"If needed".

"You shouldn't try to pry into my privacy".

" I wasn't prying okay. So just tell me what you went there for. You're my personal secretary so I need to know about you".

"Then I quit!" I left.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I entered the house. Tobais was reading.

"You're back". He got up. " I got your cloth fixed. I don't know your style". He smiled and it change into curiosity. "You okay? Did it went wrong? Marcos did something terrible to you?"

"Marcus? Who's he?"

"You didn't see him? I thought you were going to work for him".

" I'm fine". I said.

"I told the maid to prepare your favourite"

"How did you know my favourite?" I smiled

"Theresa told me"

"Why are you acting so sweet all of a sudden?"

"I felt bad about what I did today and I wanna make it up to you. You're the first person to ever hit me". He touched his bruised lip." Still hurt". He laughed and I did. "I'll tell the maids to set the table". He made to leave. " One more thing". He halted. "I'm seriously older than you".

" Your age?"

"I'm 25".

" Then I'm a year older than you". "That's a lie. You were scanned to be eighteen".

" Well, turns out they are wrong". I left.

I was in my room watching TV when my phone beeped. It was a message from a number I do not know. It says 'come to work by 4 AM tomorrow if you don't wanna get fired. I already knew who it was from.

"Can he not get any worse". I dropped the phone then a knock came on my door. " Coming". I got up to open it. It was Tobais. "Hey". I opened the door to let him in.

"You aren't asleep yet?" He entered.

"Not yet". I close the the door. " So what bring the frowning Tobais to my room?" I sat on the bed while he took the couch.

"I've changed you know".

" That was just today when I gave you the beating of your life". He laughed.

"I admire your courage Esha".

" Esha? Only Theresa calls me that". I smiled.☺

"So you wanna talk about it?"

"About what?"

"Your facial expression was like 'I don't give a damm'". I laughed and he did. " I know Marcus might be a little bossy but believe me, he's a cool guy".

"Why won't he take a maid instead?"

"I don't know if I should say this but Marcus hate maids. When he was young, it was their maid who cause a separation between his mom and dad but it all turns out she was a murderer. He was lucky that night because he spend that night with one of his friends. That's why he gives no damm for women. Particularly maid".

" That explain why he's sending someone to stall me".

"That dude still do that. I thought he would stop after all those charges. He's really a man".

" What charges?"

"Lauren, his former secretary press charges against him for always checking her moves but looks like he didn't stop after she quit"

"He said she was pregnant".

" Pregnant? Lauren never was. That guy got some secret".

"Thanks for the clothes".

" Oh don't "😄

" I'm sure you aren't here just to talk to me about Marcus. You want something".

"There's this girl I like and I haven't been going on a date with her. And that's because i'm__"

"Grounded". I cut in.

" Correct".

"So you want me to tell the guards to let you out?"

"Yep".

" Then you'll have to drive me to work tomorrow".

"Sure thing. Thanks". He got up.

" Not so fast. I'll only agree if you call me sis". I smiled.

"OK sis". He smiled and left. I check the time. It was almost twelve.

" Oh my". I put off the TV and laid on the bed. "Good night mom, dad, Chris". I murmured. Or should I say Marcus. I wonder if it's Chris or not cause I really want my Chris back. Before I knew it, I'd fallen asleep.

Everything was ready. The food was on the table. I'd picked out the suit which he's gonna wear. He was still in bed and it's almost seven. I sat waiting and waiting till it was ten. Then I heard the door opened and someone giving a yawn. I got up.

" Good morning 🌄 sir". I tried to sound cool. He looked over to the table.

"You cooked 🍚?"

"Toast with egg". I watched as he sat eyeing the food. " It's safe".

"How would I know if you didn't poison it"

"I......" I breath in to control my anger. "I'm not a killer".

" Then eat it".

"Sure". I ate a toast with little egg. Then drank the fruit juice then move over to the coffee ☕ till I was done. " You see, it's not poison".

"That's fine". He start eating.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

He was dressed but I was only knotting his tie.

" What's my schedule for today?"

"Hum. Actually, I haven't learn it finish cause I said I'd quit".

" Do you really think I'll fire you". I was done knotting his tie. "I'm just being nice cause you got no basic plan of your life". That word struck me.

" I never ask of your help. I can find another job instead of this stupid job". I threw his suit at him. "If you're done, meet me outside". I left.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I was in the car when he stepped out. He opened the car door and sat then the driver press the button and we kicked the road.

" Ms. Turner". Marcus said.

"Yes". I looked at him.

" I'm sure you know I hired you. That means I'm your boss and anything I say, you must do it".

"And why is that?"

"Did you just.... Fine. I'm gonna let this slide and that's because you're new to this job". He removed his gaze from me taking out his tablet.

"Piss". I said.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I was on my desk doing nothing in particular. I wonder what kind of job I'm doing. I watched Marcus through the opaque glass looking through the files.

" What am I even doing here?" I leaned back on the chair 💺 then someone walked 🚶 in. I watched her in fitted skirt with shirt. She look good. One thumb up for her👍.

"Is the boss in?" She asked.

"Yeah".

" Thanks". She smiled and entered. I watched the two of tjem through the glass. I'm sure he knew I was watching then he put the colour of the glass to tinted.

"Not like I really care". My phone beeped. It was a message from Tobais. It says 'how're you doing over there'. I smiled." Bad". I typed back. After some minutes, my line was ringing. I picked it."Hey".

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing. Just sitting over here and counting the seconds".

" That's sure worse than being grounded".

"So how was your date?"

"Bad".

" And why's that?"

"She lied about her pics. She's not that pretty and not my type to be precise".

" You know, I hate guys who look at beauty. I mean who cares. She loves 💕 you and......." The door opened and the lady stepped out.

"And what?"

"I'll call you back later". I hung off. Then she walk towards me.

" So you're his personal secretary. Name?"

"Ziesha Turner".

" You aren't even that pretty".

"I'm sorry, is that an insult?"

"Who cares but let me tell you something Ms Turner, Marcus is my man. No one take him away unless she wants death"

"Are you threatening me?"

"No. It's just a warning"

"Ms. Turner, please come". Marcus said through the transmittor.

" Just stay away from him". She walked away.

"What the hell?"

"Ms. Turner?"

"Just shut up your fucking mouth!" I got up and entered his office.

"Ms. Turner". He begin. "I'm sure you're forgetting something. I hired you for this job. And this job need respect. I can't tolerate those attitude of yours. You don't have credentials but I just thought of hiring you because Theresa begged me. She said you're gonna do a good job. So just what the hell are you doing! You talk rudely to anyone who comes your way. Just what the hell is wrong with you?"

"That's why I said I'd quit! OK". I wasn't gonna listen to his nonsense anyway. He got up gently and walk toward me. He was in front of me.

" I can't". He said lowly. "And that's because no one quit on me!" He shouted. "So just do your job well. I'm only going to let this go and if it ever comes up again, I swear I might just....." He tighten his fist. "Just don't make me get mad. So do your job well". He went back to his seat. I've never seen him get angry like that. It was just like the day Chris got mad at me for driving on my own cause I was pregnant. All of a sudden, I was in tears. Not really but just sad I lost the baby.

" I'm sorry. I didn't___".

"I'm fine". I cut in wiping my tears. "I'll do a good job from now on". Then I left.
