Chapter 95
"Jayden? my bones became weak immediately. I can't afford to have him see me.
I quickly got out of the treadmill and searched for Donald.
I found him lifting some weights.
I tapped his shoulder and signalled him to drop the weight, he did so and I grabbed him by his arm and pulled him to a corner.
"Why are you acting up? is everything okay with you?
"I don't know but we have to leave right now"
"And why should we leave?
"Jayden is here. We got to go home"
"Sure. I'll grab my bag"
"Good. I'll go grab mine and we'll leave then "
"Cool"
Donald and separated to go get our bags.
I placed my water bottle in my bag and grabbed my bag to leave when I bumped into someone.
I felt a strong arm around my waist, while I held onto my bag.
slowly, I lifted my head and our eyes met.
Thank goodness it was Donald who had bumped into me.
I heaved a sigh of relief and quickly wrapped my hand around his arm.
"Let's leave from here"
"Yes"
Donald and I hurriedly left the gym house to Tricia's car.
I leaned back and exhaled softly.
"Are you okay?
"I wasn't ready to face that dude "
"You know... someday you will definitely face him"
"I know but right now, I'm not ready. We just flew in from New York city and we almost met. No, hey fate! I see what you did there"
"Funny. We should head home then"
"Yes please "
A few minutes later, we drove in. I grabbed my bag and got out of the car and hurried inside.
Tricia dropped the coffee mug in her hand and approached me.
"What the fuck are you doing here?
"What do you mean by that?
"I meant... you're back so early. Why? Were you kicked out? Let me guess, your membership card already expired?
"Ha! Ha! Funny "
"Donald, why are you guys back early?
"That's because of Monalisa"
"What did she do this time?
"Jayden...I almost ran into him. He was at the gym house today "
"What? Did he see you?
"No. That's why I had to leave immediately. I didn't want him to see me"
"That's a relief. I already made breakfast with Melissa. She's a good cook"
"Melissa? Yeah she is. I'll go take a shower and come have breakfast. Where's Joshua?
"Looking for me mum?
"Oh! there you are. Not really. I'll go take a shower in Tricia's room. Donald, go take a shower in my room"
"Oh! I thought you two would take a shower together since you are Joshua's parents " Tricia teased us with a smug on her face.
"I'd pay anything to punch your face right now, crazy" I picked up my bag from the couch and walked away.
"I think I should leave too" Donald said walking away.
After breakfast, We drove down to check out the progress of the building and the apartment that was prepared for the new staff.
it was a little estate having 40 flats, of two bedrooms each. The new fashion line will be having roughly eighty to a hundred staff, including drivers and cleaners and cooks for the cafeteria.
And these staff would be staying in these houses in twos, I guess.
The estate is a ten minutes drive to the office.
it was a well thought out and planned project. I'm glad it was approved.
Thomas and Melissa settled in their different flats.
Melissa already has a roommate, Monica.
I got a three bedroom flat and Melissa really wanted to stay with me.
I already made plans to get Tricia come work in the fashion company and she can choose to live with me if she wants.
Her current job isn't giving her enough bucks so she works part-time for another job.
Thomas was happy with his apartment. His new Roommate Frank was excited to have him around.
We still had empty flats and we would run interviews to fill in spots and the new staff would move in.
After checking out everything, Donald and I returned back to Tricia's place.
Tricia and I had a little chat and I informed her about my decision to have her come work with me and also stay in my apartment with me.
Tricia was happy with the offer and didn't hesitate to accept the offer to come work in the fashion company.
She agreed to run the show room and she is a great sales manager. She is so good at it.
We decided to move into the estate this weekend, while Tricia tenders a resignation letter to the company she works for.
Tricia had come home after a long day, carrying a box containing her things.
She had resigned from work to come work with me.
I already made a nice bath for her and with Donald's help made dinner.
Tricia thanked us and left to enjoy her bath.
Tricia stormed out of the room and went into my room looking for my body wash.
She didn't realise that she already ran out of body wash.
While getting mine from my bathroom, her gaze fell on Donald's towel which has an embroidery 'DDD'.
She chuckled and stepped out of my bathroom.
She crashed into the couch and fell on the floor knocking over Donald's bag which dropped on the floor.
Tricia quickly picked up his bag but some documentation dropped from the bag to the floor.
She dropped the bag on the couch and went on her knees to pick up the document.
She picked up the document and gasped immediately.
Her jaw dropped and her eyes became wider.
She dropped to the floor, staring at the documents.
She couldn't believe her eyes.
Then she heard footsteps which seemed to be closer.
Tricia quickly placed the documents in the bag and zipped it up.
She reached out to the body wash on the floor, grabbed it and immediately rose on her foot.
The door knob turned and there was a creek sound from the door.
The door came open and Donald stepped in, Tricia stepped back immediately as she has almost bumped into him at the door.
"Sorry. Body wash. I...I... didn't notice... that...that...I ran out of body wash"She tittered. "I came to get Monalisa's. That's all"
"Are you okay?
"Yes I am. Definitely good and cool. see"
"Ah...I see. You may leave then "
"Yes. I should leave. I'm leaving. Bye"
Tricia rushed out of my room and ran into her room, banging the door behind her, while Donald stood at the door of my room a bit confused.
