Chapter 36: Chapter 36

Getting to Kathleen, the young lady is out, she is the only one at the villa, with the Code's workers, Kathleen told her, she is going camping but she doesn't want to go back to the Calvin's villa

Claudia must still be spitting fire, calling Jeff is not a good idea, the previous night, Kathleen told her that, she should limit her friendship with Jeff, so he doesn't end up falling for her.

What an irony, the young man is madly in love with her already.

Barbara finish showering, she grabbed a plate of popcorn and ice-cream to watch a movie, then she thought of calling Dante, his number didn't go through, his phone is on do not disturb

This weirdo is not available. She dump her phone, then go back to her movie, still thinking that Dante will show up the next morning, yet again his friend is the one standing in front of her.

She try not to show that she is getting irritated with Jayden constantly showing up in front of her, instead of Dante

Sorry, I was a bit late. Jayden apologize to Barbara ASAP

It's fine, you can stop coming to pick me.

Why? Is your car fixed already?

Nope! My driver is coming back and I could get another car, while waiting for mine.

I will have to tell him.

Don't you two live in same place? Barbara asked, Jayden nodded his head, for the first time, Barbara notice how handsome Jayden is, his chest is well arranged. Do you also do same work as him? Jayden turned his gaze to her. As in, you are handsome too, just maybe, your agency need only handsome men?

No, I don't work there, I work at perfume company. Barbara gaze get stronger, Jayden press his lips together, hope he haven't say things he is not supposed to say.

Oh! No wonder, you smell nice, you own this car?

No! The boss. Jayden is crazy, no, the mad one is Dante that didn't brief him on anything, he only asked him to come pick Barbara nor have a conversation with her.

From your car wash?

What car wash?

Li Jun told me, he work in a car wash company, that is the reason, he have access to different cars.

Oh! Yes! Yes! Barbara didn't move her eyes from him. You don't believe me?

I never said that, when is Li Jun coming back from his trip with the girl.

I don't know but I am sure soon. Barbara fall her face, she is sad, so many thoughts in her head

So he spending the night in same hotel with her? Maybe she is more beautiful or maybe, he did lock his lips with her.

Stop it! She yelled pulling her hair backward in frustration, Jayden smiled, he act like he didn't hear all the rubbish Barbara is whispering. As soon as he drop her, he went back to the office, Dante is busy, he got a message that he should attend to one of their clients.

When the meeting finally come to an end, it's late and lunch is almost over.

Shit! Dante cursed inwardly, he had plans of dropping by at Barbara's office to have lunch with her but then it's almost over, driving there will be waste.

Hey man! Should I get your food from the canteen or you will eat out?

Just get it from the canteen, asked my secretary to do it, I don't want you going down to create havoc

You very naughty, how am I going to create havoc?

You should know Jayden is the lady's man. Jayden titter as he place called to secretary Maria to have their lunch delivered. Secretary Maria is an elderly woman, she has worked there for years, she served Harold and now his son.

In less than ten minutes, the food is right in front of them, eating in silent, Jayden raise his head and look at him.

Jayden, Is there something you want to say.

No! As in yes

Confused human being, did you arrived early to pick her?

A bit late and she said I shouldn't pick her anymore.

Why?

Her driver is coming back tomorrow.

And this evening?

I don't know, she asked me not to pick her anymore.

Just ignore her words. Dante went back to the food.

Why don't you tell her the truth?

What truth?

That you are Dante, she already told you, her real name.

But my name is Li Jun.

Come on Dante, you should know, your mom is the only one who call you that, and you and I know that, it's just four people in this world that know you with that.

She should be happy that she is plus one.

What are you going to do with her?

Nothing, her one month will soon elapsed, the both of us, we go our separate ways.

What if she fall in love with you? Dante titter so loud. What is fun?

She is supposed to fall hopelessly for me and get hurt, have you forgotten?

Jayden look at him, Dante is not that heartless, even though he is a cold man.

Stop staring, let her get hurt, she could take it, if she survived her first heart break then this will be nothing, nothing to her.

Jayden closed his eyes, Barbara is already falling for him, she is jealous that, he is meeting up with other girls; she is sad that the man is not coming to pick her, will she be able to survive Dante's heartbreak

****

Kathleen decided to visit Barbara at the office, she felt bad that she had to leave Barbara alone in her house through the night.

Hey dear! Kathleen said as soon as she pushed her office door, Barbara raised her head the young lady face is not bright.

I am sorry, I just bump into an old client of my dad and he said he wants to treat me.

Through the night?

Come on Barbara, I only want to enjoy myself.

I was worried, you would had called to tell me that you are not coming.

If I had called, you would had asked me to come back home and I don't want to.

So you slept with him.

Don't be ridiculous, he is gay, not the regular kind of man, that love women.

Silly, no wonder, you were comfortable with him.

I am sorry!

I have heard.

It doesn't seem so?

I am fine

Good, where is Mr kisser? He didn't come with lunch today?

No oh! I haven't seen him for days now, his friend said that, he had a girl to meet.

Huh! That was Kathleen exclamation, Barbara press her lips together.

Kathleen, what if I asked dad to employ him? He seems enlightening.

Why?

I don't want him doing that kind of job, I don't even know if the girl he is with, is kissing him or even...

Even what?

Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Kathleen touch Barbara's shoulder.

Are you in love with him?

Nope! I am just concerned.

Nope, you are in love with him and you are jealous because you are thinking, he is in bed with another woman.

That is the truth, Barbara is in love with him, she care about him, developing feelings for someone that want revenge on you, is the worse thing that could ever happened to a person.
