Chapter 17: Chapter 17

I just stared at her and smiles, but to shock me further, she winked at me, then ran off to the other side of the house.

The house is too big, and she always feels like she haven't explore all parts of the house yet. There are parts of the house that she have been, that I haven't even had the time to go.

I brought out some of the files that I collected from Sandra, she wanted me to study them, so instead of crossing my arms and just waiting for Craig, I decided to go through the files, and study them for my training tomorrow.

Sandra made it very clear, and I was enjoying going through the files, I even began having ideas, that could help me do better, when I heard the sound of the car, I know I wasn't supposed to do what I did next, but I didn't even know when I did it. I rushed to the window, to check who it is that just returned, and as expected, it is Craig. I stood at the window, admiring him for what seem like forever, that I didn't know he would look up at my room, and our eyes met, and instead of me to just wave at him or something, I hid immediately, even after I was sure, he had seen me.

"Damn it! Why did I do that? I felt like slapping myself, because hitting my legs weren't enough.

I didn't stop there, I went further to put my hair into shape, apply powder, to dry my already too oily face, then sat in a seductive way, before concentrating on the file, on the reading table in the room.

I was waiting for him to come into my room, that should be what he should do, but I heard him playing with Whitney. I am really happy that Whitney is super happy here, but somehow, I feel Craig is too attached to her, that he doesn't see me at all, which brought a strange kind of jealousy. I couldn't tell if I was jealous of my own daughter. And why was I even doing all of this? I was accused of this same thing five years ago, and now, it is as though, I am doing the exact same thing I swore that I didn't do. I slapped myself, so that I snap out of whatever it is that I was thinking about, but when I heard footsteps close to my door, I forgot all about snapping out of my crazy thought, that I started considering being all flirty again.

He knocked on my door, and I almost screamed. 'Finally'.

"Yes come in, the door is opened". I went back to focusing on the file, without really looking at anything from the file.

He was standing by the door, and I had planned not to speak to him, unless he speaks first, but he had been standing for too long, not saying anything, which was making me awkward, that I had to look up at him, and when I did, he had a sinister kind of smile on his face, but when our eye met, he tries feigning serious look, but I could still see the corner of his lips raised.

"How was your day? He finally asked, and though I was already angry, I needed to answer him, else, he would leave me and walk away, thinking I am too busy.

"It was fine. Sandra was a huge help, she thought me a lot". I said and he nodded, taking steps further inside the room, and sitting on the bed, opposite the reading table, where I sat, I remembered that my dress is short, if I don't sit well, he just might be looking at my thighs.

"Yes, she told me that you are a fast learner, and that she even gave you a file to study at home, and I guess that is the one in your hand? He asked and I nodded with a smile looking back at the file, I noticed that the file had been turned upside down, and that must be why he had that smile on earlier. I felt embarrassed, which took away, whatever is left, of my self esteem. That I started acting like a baby, to someone I used to be very mature around. Wealth is really something. When I didn't know his status, I was a lot more calmer, now that I know whom he really is, I just don't know how to behave, and my nerves don't even help me whenever I am around him. And now, just hearing that he heard from Sandra, only made me even more jealous, for I know that the girl has a huge crush on him, but I don't know if he feels same for her, but somehow, I was prompted to ask.

"So Sandra says she works at the Apple Empire huh? He didn't hesitate to answer.

"Yes, she is my personal assistant, she knows everything around the company, like she knows the back of her hands, and she works diligently, I don't think Apple have had any employer that diligent before now". The way he spoke of her, only made me more jealous that I regretted bringing up the topic, I guess he also has a huge crush on her too, but probably doesn't want to start the boss and staff relationship, and maybe he couldn't help the way he feels for her, and that is why he had sent her to Winlowtech, so that he could concentrate on work. What was I thinking, they are both young and full of life, what could he possibly want from me?

She says she cannot wait to be back, she needs you to learn fast, and I know you too cannot wait to start work officially right? He asked, and I didn't know if I should smile or frown, I just nodded, in contrast to the sort of smile, he had on.

I guess I should leave you to it then, I feel I am bothering you". He says, and though I wanted to stop him, I couldn't find my voice till he was out of the door. I was angry with myself, I was acting like I have never been with a man before. If I must get a man, then I should probably focus on men my age, which I know I will find. I guess I know what is wrong with me, I have been single for long, and in all the five years of my loneliness, I didn't get any help, so falling for the first man to show me love, is ideal, but it just cannot happen, his grand parents would be angry if they learn that I am even conceiving, such thought.

"Sam, you need to focus, you are not here to fall inlove with your billionaire student". I cautioned myself, but another voice was quick to remind me.

"He is no longer your student, he is now your boss". Upon hearing that, I shook my head, then forced myself to focus, but I was distracted, by his voice again, when I heard him speaking harshly to someone, I had to leave the room, to know what was wrong. On getting there, it was Agatha, and she was on her knees.
