Chapter 26 26
Vanessa's Pov
"We need to go to workkkk" I laughed, poking Richard. He's such a lazy ass
"Don't you get tired of working? Please call off today let's stay under the duvet, loving, kissing and cuddling" He pouted
"No!!" I tried pulling him up from the bed
Keyword: Tried
"This is 5am, Nessa" He groaned
"Don't you run in the morning or something?" I smirked
"Huh? Do you?" He smirked at me. I rolled my eyes at him. "That's what I thought" he laughed giving in to my pleas.
"Doesn't mean I'm not fit. I just pulled you up" I smiled proudly
"I let you" he said, his smirk never leaving his face
"Pfft." I scoffed. "Come down for breakfast when you're done taking your bath"
"Come let's bathe together. I'm getting addicted to that shit now" He pouted
"I'll bathe later. Just do your thing and come down to eat please" I rolled my eyes.
"Bad mummy!" he yelled and I just laughed, strolling out of the room
Yesterday was nice and I really liked it a lot. I don't know how long he can keep it up but lets see. I don't even know where we go from here. I don't even know if we should have anything. I don't know what this means for us. I could just go on with my life cos I doubt he's serious. He's just happy now, he might go back to himself very soon.
I check my cupboard and decided that we'll be having bread, egg and tea this morning. Something light for the day.
When I was done preparing everything, I covered it and went upstairs to take my bath and get ready for work. I have new projects that came in. I have a new client to meet today too. I have to FaceTime my elder sister today. I'll try to visit her this weekend... let's say Friday night to come back on Sunday evening.
I rush into the guest room to use the bathroom. I decided to take my bath there cos I really do not want to go to work late because I'm sharing my bathroom with a man and I'm avoiding seeing his nakedness before I sin by 5am. Too early to start sinning, I tell you. When I was done bathing, I snuck into my room to pick my outfit for the day, though I didn't find Richard there so I just stayed there and dressed up. I brush my hair, put on my matte lip gloss and my shoes. I wore my perfume and left my room.
"Ready?" A well dressed Richard said, pecking my hair once I got to where he was standing
"I guess so. Do I look good" I open my arms for him to judge.
"Do a 360 cupcake" He smirked at me and I did. "Beautiful..." He said taking a step towards me again. "...and breathtaking" He raised my chin and planted a kiss on my lips.
That's why I wore a matte lipstick. It won't get smudged. I definitely saw this coming!
"You don't look bad yourself " I smiled at him
"Thank you cupcake. Let's eat so you don't get late for work. I know you love to be early cos tell me why you'd wake my ass up by 5AM" He frowned playfully and helped me sit on the chair since my skirt was pencil mouthed and held my legs tightly
"Thank you" I muttered, when he pushed my food to me. We munched on it quietly.
I picked up my keys when I was done and left the plates in the sink. I'll handle that when I get back.
"Drop the keys, I'll drop you off and pick you up" Richard said, cleaning his mouth with a serviette and tossing it in the bin
"Oh no! You don't have to stress yourself. I've been driving since I was 18" I laughed, reminiscing how I crashed my dad's car in the course of learning how to drive at 18. I learnt through YouTube videos.... I know that's weird but I did it regardless.
For your information, my dad was too busy to care about one of his cars being damaged. He just took it for repair the next day. Though he scolded me for being reckless with my life.
"Nonsense" He said taking the keys out of my hand and putting it in his pocket. I shrugged and followed him out of the house. He locked the door and handed the house key to me.
"Get in" I said, opening the door for him. Yeah, you heard correctly
"I'm not a lady. Ew" He laughed and held my hand and circled us round the car. "Get in" He said, holding the passengers door
"I just wanted to be niceeee" I whined.
"Thank you but that's a lady's thing" He said immediately he entered the car. He put on his seatbelt and helped me with mine before putting the key in the ignition and turning it, reviving the engine.
I placed my ear pod in my left ear and left the right one in the case so I can be able to hear him in case he has something to say.
"Is there anything you need today? Any specific food stuff?" He asked, his eyes dangerously on the road
"Uhhh... Why?" I asked, amused at the question
"Just fucking answer!" He groaned.
"Okay fine. I really don't have any specific food stuff I need but maybe I'm craving ice cream?" I smiled. "Why are you asking though" I eyed him suspiciously.
"Nothing." He simply said. "Make sure you eat lunch today okay? I need that ass to be more fat so that it'll do a whole lotta jiggle when I'm -"
"Shut up" I cut him off, already getting the whole line of that sentence.
"You're here ma'am. I'll see you when I see you" He leaned in to peck my lips
"Thank you, monsieur" I smiled at him and opened the door. "Oh shit! My car keys please?" I stretched my arm
"So you'll call your driver to come take the key and go home to bring it for you? Nah. I'll pick you up and I'll return it" He rolled his eyes
"Dramatic much? I do not have a driver by the way" I laughed and shut the door. I waved at him while he revised. I sighed after seeing him drive away and walked into my investment.
I gave a curt nod and smile to few of my workers who greeted me.
"Meeting by 8am this morning with the new client. Inspection by 2pm. Board meeting by 4pm" Brittany read to me once she sees me. "Here are the new designs created by Team Blue. If any adjustment or any suggestions, reach out to me so I can get to their group leader. Then, we have 10 new clients this week. I'll send in their names and details so you can fix a date for their meetings. We have one new applicant - Chelsea B.wood, applying for internship."
"Wow! That's a lot to grasp" I laughed lightly and took some few documents from her. "Is the internship girl available today by 10?" I asked, sitting on my chair and spreading the document
"I'll give her a call to ask and get back to you by 9" Brittany said
"Where's the flash drive for the design made by Team Blue" I asked, rubbing my temple
"Here!" She brings it out of her pocket and hands it over to me.
"Thank you" I said genuinely and ushered her out of the office.
I knew this week was going to be one hell of a week.
