Chapter 62 Chapter 62
Benji
I got up and took a quick shower I wanted to talk to Mel while Jojo was in the shower. When I was done, I walked out of the walk-in closet to find Jojo hasn’t moved yet. I walked over to her and sat next to her on the bed “Are you okay angel?” “I would lie to you if I say yes, but I have to put my big girl panties on and get on with it, a new life is waiting for me. But I know I’m going to miss you.” “Not the life of wealth?” I asked her shocked I mean she had money her whole life, this is going to be a big transition for her. “No Benji you saw what I lived with last night so no I’m not going to miss the live of luxury because it usually comes with a price all I’m going to miss is you.” “Oh angel.” I pulled her to me and held her so tightly, I’m sure she couldn’t breathe but she didn’t mind she held me just as tightly.
“Okay I need to go and shower. What time is our flight?” “At 12 you still have time to shower and get ready and we will fit a breakfast in there.” Suddenly she looked very stressed. “What’s wrong?” “We can’t go to the hotel lobby Benji what if someone sees you with me it will tarnish your name.” “I don’t give a fuck about that angel and neither are you. Go shower and get ready I just need to speak to Anton quickly.” “Okay.” I waited for her to get in the shower before I left for Mel’s room I really hope she waited. When I came closer to her door, I could hear voices it sounded like Anton was in there with her. I knock a few times before Anton answered the door with his gun behind his back. “It’s only me Anton.” “Benji sorry I was worried Mr. Warren found us.” “No problem. I’m just glad Mel waited for me.” Anton leaned into me and whispered “I caught her sneaking out so I brought her back and ordered breakfast.” “Good thanks Anton.” “Mel, I’m leaving you with Mr. Benji don’t worry he doesn’t bite.” “Fuck of Anton.” Anton just laughed and left. Yes we had that kind of relationship.
I could see Mel was a bit nervous she wasn’t sure why she waited for me or if Anton told me she tried to sneak out. “Mel, I want to make you an offer.” “Sir?” She asked shocked. “I want you to be my house manager when I get a place, in the mean time I’ll get you an apartment and pay you while I look for a place.” “Are you serious?” “Yes, dead serious, I’m sure Jojo would be happy to know you have a place and a stable work and away from that fucker Warren.” “That sounds amazing. If you tell me what you looking for, I can start looking even call agents for you.” “You would do that?” “Yes, off course I helped Jojo a lot with planning her father’s party’s and when Jojo wanted to get away, I was the one that got her the place and flight tickets without her parents knowing.” “Mel, it seems I found the right person for the job because my mother can be just as overbearing as Jojo’s is.” “I’m sure your mother would be a picnic in the park compared to Mrs. Warren.” “Okay you are hired give me your number and I’ll send you the details of what I want and which neighborhood I want it.” She jumped up and down and before I knew it, she gave me a hug but very quickly realized what she did so she jumped backwards “Sorry Sir I’m just so excited.” “Call me Benji Mel and it’s fine we all get excited.” “Thank you Benji I promise you won’t regret it.” “I’m sure I will not. Jojo and I are leaving at 12 if you want to say good bye to her before then.” “I would love to.” “Okay you’ll stay here in the Hotel while Anton and I take her to her place, I’ll probably be gone 3 days max.” “I know where she’s going Sir I mean Benji.” “Then she trusts you a hell of a lot and I feel even more sure I made the right decision.”
When I walked out of Mel’s room I felt at ease with my decision, Anton was waiting for me outside her room. “I just made Mel our House manager.” “We don’t have a house Benji?” “Jeez Anton I’m well aware, she’s going to help us find one I’m not staying with my mom and dad we need our own space. Make sure the Hotel knows she will be staying another 4 days and whatever she needs should be put on the room number.” “Will do boss.” I walked back into the penthouse and smelled coffee. “Jojo!” I called out. “In the kitchen!” She said. “You want some?” She asked as I walked into the kitchen with her holding her cup up to me. “Yes please.” “Everything sorted with Anton?” She asked while making me a cup of coffee. “Actually, I lied to you I went to see Mel.” She turned around and gave me my cup of coffee. “Why Mel? And why lie about it?” “I wasn’t sure she was going to say yes so I didn’t want to make you hope.” “What did you do?” “I asked her to become my House Manager.” “Oh, wow and she said yes?” “She did.” “Oh, Benji you won’t be sorry not one day in your life will you be sorry. That women are like a fault she doesn’t tell anyone anything about you, she kept all my secrets all my going away weekends she organized for me on her card.” She came over to me and hugged me “I can’t thank you enough for looking out for her as well as me.” “Anything for you angel anything.”
