Chapter 36: She Is Not My Type

She Is Not My Type

Parker's POV

"What about now?”

"She is kind of stable now but last night was horrible.”

"Okay then, I will go and see her now.”

"Okay Mr Parker, please come with me.” The nurse added and I walked with her.

I sat down at the usual and Mrs Zari was brought out I told them to take off the chains, she would never harm me, the nurse was worried but I told them not to be at all.

They finally took it off and I said to her," Mrs Zari, how are you?”

"Parker, it's you, handsome young man, I know you are good enough for my daughter Jane, I wonder why she is not coming home.” She said looking so emotional and I had no other choice but to hold back my tears.

"Don't you worry, you will be fine.”

"You think I am crazy now? My husband is already dead and I ruined it all, I know my daughter is just upset and that is the reason she is refusing to come home to us, help me find my daughter, she can't be dead right?”

I looked at her and saw the pains in her eye, if I tell her to give up because the dead can never return to us the living, what if she ends up doing something to hurt herself?

I have no other choice but to give her the answer she is waiting for, "Don't worry, I will look for Jane and return here with her.”

"Really?”

"Yes ma'am.”

She jumped in excitement, "Do you think I look good enough for my daughter? I don't want her to say I look like a mess, can you get my makeup kits? I want to appear presentable.”

"You know Jane already, she loves you for who you are."

"You are right, I guess, I should be ready to come up with an apology note, I hurt her so much with words from my mouth, I know that is the reason she won't come home, but since she likes you, I am sure she will return with you.”

"Have you eaten?” I asked.

"No, I want Jane to eat with me so I won't eat till she returns.” She added and I pity her so well, the shock of Jane's death landed her in this state, she can't separate reality from dreams anymore.

"Please eat something, you know it will take time to get Jane here, if she sees you this way, she will get so worried.”

"Oh you are right, I will eat then.” She smiled at me and I made a call for food.

I made sure I ate with her and she looked at me saying, "Will you marry my daughter? I want her to be safe and also to avoid suffering as well.”

"Sure, please eat up so the food won't get cold.”

"Thank you so much son in law, this is the reason you are the best suitor for my daughter Jane.” She added.

The following morning I got to work a bit late, I guess Cali will be at the office already and also I was very happy today.

I walked to my office and guess who I found sleeping Cali, I just can't believe this at all, didn't she sleep well last night?

"Hey wake up.” I tapped her but got no response from her at all, she was sleeping so peacefully and I was happy, so I decided to carry her to rest properly on the couch.

I couldn't stop admiring her as I caressed her hair, she was so beautiful and calm, I wished she could be Jane but it's impossible, they are both different even if they have the same eyes and smiles.

I didn't even bother to disturb her rest as I went about doing other stuff at work while I still watched her sleep.

I was shocked to see that she slept for hours, it is clear she didn't sleep at all last night, what was she up to last night? Did something happen to her? I never gave her a job to attend last night so what went wrong last night?

I sat close to her and used both fingers to push her forehead when I noticed she was yawning so loud and waking up slowly.

"Wake up sleeping head,” I said, I still can't believe she slept from morning time to 1:30 pm.

"I can explain, I was...I mean..”

"So you are the boss and I am your boy now, right? Where were you last night? Didn't you sleep?”

I didn't know how to ask her what happened, it would have looked unprofessional of me so I asked this way.

"I went out on a date with someone and we also visited the club, but I didn't have enough time to sleep when we went to the hotel room.”

What? She didn't sleep at the house last night? She went with someone on a date? How could she do this to my fragile heart? So they made love all night? Is that the reason she has been sleeping? It's so hot in here and I just can't stop the imagination from playing in my head.

"You mean you slept with a man in his hotel room last night?” I yelled.

"Not the other way, sorry boss why are you getting angry?”

"Do I look like I am getting angry?” I shouted again because I had lost it, why would she do that to me?

"Do you think this job is a joke to you? What were you thinking? What if someone else sees you going into the hotel with a man hum?”

"Boss, sorry to say this but going to a hotel with someone it's not a bad thing, it's my personal life and I made a mistake mentioning it to you, my mistake is sleeping on duty and I am sorry boss, you can..”

Oh no, I guess I allowed my emotions to get the best part of me so I had to look for a perfect excuse so she wouldn't suspect a thing, "You are my assistant and I am a public figure, don't you know going to hotels with guys will ruin my reputation? What if is in the news? What will happen to me?”

I held her shoulder then when I saw how frightened she was, I realized I was hurting her, I went overboard, and I hoped she would forgive me, she was right, I am just her boss and nothing more.

"You are hurting me.” She yelled and Iet went.

"You, get out now,” I said coldly and she left at once.

I hit the wall continuously out of rage, who was the bastard she went out with? Who?

I called Raymond over the phone saying, "She slept all day at work and I was worried for nothing, guess what, she went out with someone else on a date and slept in a hotel, I know they must have had sex right? Then I asked her, she told me I have no right.”

"Calm down Parker, take a break.”

I took a deep breath and said, "I am calm now.”

"Good, you have true feelings for her and you are jealous, so if I were you, I would confess my emotions to her.”

"You are not helping.” I ended the call and adjusted my tie, I am not jealous at all, why would I be jealous, she is not even my type.

TBC.
