Chapter 21: Chapter 21

Barbara throw her things at the back of the car, Ethan is not around, the boy had fall sick the night after the ball, so Barbara asked him to take a day off now she is driving herself to the office.

As soon as she sit behind the engine, she turn the ignition and hit the road, playing a very soft song to put her at easy, she was moving her body to the song while humming with it before she knew it, her car thud, she felt it as it wriggle

What thou hell? She cursed inwardly, pressing the break then turned off her engine so as to put the car to an halt then come out, to check the back of her car for damages. Shit! She cursed again turning to the other side, only to see the person who hit her car walking gorgeously towards her.

Standing with her hand on her waist ready to send a punch through the man face, if he made a mistake of running his mouth, he smiled at her as he walked closer.

Miss, are you alright? He scan through her as he asked with worried tone, that look on the man's face melt her heart.

I am perfect but my car back is far from anything good. She said calming herself, she too scan the man but not because she is worried about him but trying to check his handsomeness. The man is wearing a black business tuxedo.

I am really sorry, I didn't know I was driving so fast, just to meet up with an appointment, I am sorry. He stretch his card to her. I will just tell my assistant to come fixed it and have it delivered to you, you can give me your contact card. Barbara grabbed from him. My bad, my name is Gordon.

I will call you to check if it's fixed and if there is anything else I will let you know. That was the only words she said.

Miss, are you sure, you don't want to go to the hospital? She smiled at him then stop a cab.

No need, I am getting late. She grabbed her stuff from her car then hurry into the cab, Gordon watch as the car take off.

What an insolent woman, she didn't bother giving me her contact? He head back towards his car then smiled. She is pretty though.

Meanwhile at Calvin's resort, a modelling agency is having their photoshoot at the resort, Barbara is in hurry, to go inside, her assistant keep calling her, she pack her stuff on her hand and run into the resort only to hit a lady making the juice she is holding pour on her body.

Geez!

Miss, I am sorry, I didn't... Barbara words didn't finish before the lady slapped her causing her staff to look at her.

Miss Jasmine, do you know...

It's fine, I am sorry for bumping into you.

Get lost, lowlife. Jasmine pushed Barbara assistant to gain way out of the reception.

I am sorry ma! Eve, Barbara assistant said.

Come on Eve is not your fault, where are the client? Are they still at the conference room.

I am sorry ma, they left and reschedule since you were not forthcoming

Barbara hit the wall of her office, what a bad morning, first of all, her car get bash and now she got a slapped from some idiot who just refer to her as lowlife.

I am sorry ma!

It's not your fault, it's just one of those bad morning.

What do you want to do with that Jasmin of a girl?

Nothing, you can go back to your office. Barbara fall on her office chair, Eve look at her, Barbara is the most humble person that she have ever work with. Go on, I will just look for something else to wear, just then her phone ring, the call is from Jeffrey.

Just who I want to hear his voice? He wave her hand for Eve to leave. Hey silly, where are you?

Outside your office, here to pick you for lunch.

Don't be ridiculous, it's still morning.

Who said so? It's almost midday.

What? Barbara jumped from her chair, it's almost 12noon and she haven't have breakfast yet.

So get up and come out, fast and don't keep me waiting.

Yes boss, I am on my way. Barbara look at her wear then sighed, the juices is all over her body, she walked out, Jeffery is standing at her office walkway.

You naughty boy, you here already what is the need of calling me out.

Do you have restaurant in your office?

Naughty you! Barbara pushed his head.

What Happened to your wears?

Call today the worse day of my life.

Nope, my car got bash and then I collided with some lunatic, that damage my wears, to crown it all, I couldn't meet up with my appointment.

Oh sorry dear! Let's eat then I fixed your wear.

Why not fixed my wear first? Jeffrey pulled her hand in his as they walked out.

You said I should fixed your wears right?

Yes and stop acting like some Superman that could create magic.

Watch me! Jeffrey flipped his stretch arm toward his car, Barbara fold her hand under her breast looking at Jeffrey like some alien.

Aren't you excited?

Over what?

Silly girl, I got some really nice wear for you, maybe...

She run and pulled the car door, Jeffrey walked slowly to her, she is busy looking at the wears, Jeffrey rest his head on the car door.

Hey Mr. Get off the door, I want to change.

In side the car?

Of cause, you don't expect me going back into the office just to change. Hands off! Jeffery pulled his hand from the door, Barbara slip into another dress, she hit the car windscreen, making Jeffery pulled the door. Hop in let's hit the road, I am really hungry.

Jeffrey shakes his head, this is same person that said she want to get wears first before eating.

All eyes were on Barbara and Jeffrey, the two of them look beautiful and handsome, people are not only ogling they were whispering, Jeffrey heart leap for joy hearing those sweet comment about the two.

Calling them lovely couple!

They look good together.

What a handsome man and beautiful woman.

Barbara attention is not on any of those, she is so engrossed in her meal, the young lady is really very hungry, Jeffrey let her get her filled.

Thank you! I was really starving. She finally admit as she wiped her lips with her napkin. Could you believe that, the stupid meeting that made me skip breakfast was cancelled but it was my fault not theirs.

So when did they book for another appointment?

I don't know, for now I don't want to talk about work stress, I am so tired of work, sometimes I wish I could be like Kathleen.

Stop been silly! You should know that, you are different from Kathleen nor Claudia.

Barbara frown as soon as Jeffery take Claudia's name, the incident of last night she recalled them then shake her head, like she want them to fall off her head.

Did I say something that offend you?

Nope, come on, thanks for the food and the wears.

Stop been silly, let's go.

Hey get me takeout.

As your lordship pleases! Jeffrey order for one extra pack for her, she smiled, Jeffrey love that smiled of her, he could watch her all day and hugged her like she is some soft pillow in his hand. Shall we!

Of cause, you really are a lifesaver.

Hm! He pull the door for her to sit at the passenger seat.

I feel like a princess. Jeffrey smirked, closing the car door then take the seat behind the wheel.

You haven't tell me about the ball and how is Derrick?

We break up! Jeffrey mouth drop open, he press his lips together then look at her.

Stop staring it's the truth. Jeffrey turned his face back to the road as Barbara sip on her juice.
