Xavier’s Point of View
Jessica said while scoffing at the imaginary Marcus and she looks so adorable doing that, (I wish I could pinch her cheeks right now)
“So back to business, we have all agreed to have you work for us and we will pay you, 100, 000 dollars a month”
“Seems you are not rich like Marcus”
“I am but I am not foolish like him, we have different mindset, I like people driven by will and are competent not people driven by money and are not competent”
“Very well, I will sign the papers and get going as soon possible ”
I handed the papers over to him and he studies them before signing, then we all signed one after the order and the deal is sealed.
We then proceed to sit down and discuss were we will be going from here, Jessica soon left for work and my secretary drove her, after a while the man left leaving I and Mike remaining,
“Are you sure this is a good idea?”
“No and yes”
“What do you mean No and Yes?”
“I meant I do believe am doing the right thing and at the same I don’t think so, let’s just give him the benefit of doubt and besides Jessica gave us a leeway”
“Are you talking about the evidence?”
“Yes, I am”
“I thought she was joking?”
“Only you friend will joke about that”
“Wow, that’s hot…. I would normally say but judging by the murderous intent on your eyes and Laura being able to sniff it out, I wouldn’t say that”
“You are so wise Mike, now leave my office let me concentrate on my work”
“Okay, SIR ”
He left and I went back to my business, I had meetings scheduled for the day and they are all important,
“Knock, Knock, knock ”
“Come in”
My secretary walked in and I looked at him,
“You have a letter ”
“Okay, thank you, keep it there”
He left and I paused a bit, stretched myself a little and picked up the letter, it was put in a white envelope with a seal, it looked fancy, I opened it and it turned out to be a party invitation card by none other than Universe company, Marcus company, I know this must be the grandfather because there is no way he will invite me to his party.
I laughed, this is a good opportunity to search around the house especially the dad’s room to know if I can find any evidence linking him to my parent’s death, I texted Mike the message immediately, the colour of the day is red for women and black for men, so like Marcus.
I picked up my phone and called Jessica immediately,
“Hello”
“Hello, how are you?”
“Good just wanted to tell you that we have been invited to a party on Friday night and the colour of the day is red and black”
“Oh, that’s okay, I have to buy cloths then”
“Yes, I will be going with you but you are not asking who invited us”
“Since you accepted to go, I figured you know them, so tell who?”
“Marcus”
Jessica’s POV
“Marcus”
I was shocked is an understatement, I was flabbergasted, I mean it wouldn’t be surprising that he is inviting us for something sinister and bad, I tapped my table for a while before speaking up again,
“Do you think he is planning something?”
“Well depends if he is expecting us, if it’s the grandfather then No but if it’s him? That’s a different thing all together ”
“Okay, why don’t we take this opportunity and do something ”
“Exactly my thoughts Jess, I already told Mike to prepare everything we need, we are searching his father’s room”
“And his room, if possible then grandfather as well, who knows where we might find what we are looking for”
“Okay, but I will need your help on this matter?”
“Okay, what should I do for you?”
“Blac, I want Blac”
“Okay, I will tell him”
“I want him to work on the CCTV and become their eyes there”
“I understand, I will tell him”
“Thanks….. Babe”
I blushed hard and hummed, we ended the call and just then I got a credit notification, seems like Collins has sent the money he owed me back to me, I am a bit surprised, thought I will have problem getting it back from him, if not that I have a suspicion that he may be connected to Marcus I would have believed he is changing for the good.
The week passed like a blur and soon it was Friday and here is Xavier and I standing in front of the mall to get our cloth, we went to a unisex shop, they have both male and female cloths on display, the same place I got my other dress from,
“Good day, how may I help you?”
“Same to you, I want the girl that attended to me the last time, I think her name is Annette”
“Okay ma’am I will call for her”
And soon enough she came and smiled once she saw me,
“Good day ma’am, you are here again, what do you want today?”
“I need a red dress and a black tuxedo to match”
“Okay, come this way”
She lead us to another section totally different from the first one I shopped before, I was looking around the red dress here, there were all stunning, Xavier picked one up and gave to the girl, I collected it and went into the changing room.
My jaw dropped when I was done, okay this looks a little too much,
“Xavier, am not wearing this”
“Why, it certainly will suit you, come out first let me see you ”
And I did and his jaw dropped,
“What the….”
The dress was open from the neck to the navel, and the back too, it tightened at the waist, hip and knee and then had an A shape from the knee down, it’s good for a dinner date,
“Nope, change it, am having no one lay their eyes on you angel”
