Jessica pov
He kissed me right on my mouth and it was a hot, searing kiss,
“If I didn’t have to take my medication later I would have you instead ”
“Well you will have me to yourself on our vocation ”
“Then I wouldn’t mind waiting my love, it’s gonna be so sweet”
“Yeah it will surely, now sit the fuck down and eat”
“You look sexy and hot when you curse”
“Then I will curse more for ya”
“Hahahaha, will like that”
I sat down with him and we started eating, it was the healthiest meal we had and it was awesome.
We didn’t go to work or go outside for two weeks, we just sat inside enjoying each others company and planning for our vacation, the places we will visit, foods we will try and things we would do.
We decided to go for our trip next month being November, then come back before the festive period to celebrate with grandfather and my aunt.
Xavier’s wound were almost all healed up, the thread uses in patching him up has been removed, the surface of the wound is all healed up but it still pains him when touched and it’s scratchy.
We went back to work on the third week and after dropping me off even when I insisted I will drop him off instead he left, he has a lot of clean ups to do.
“Ma’am, you are back?”
“Yes, I am anything I should know?”
“Nothing much excerpt that we had an interview with miss World”
“Oh I almost this is the time for the competition, so have you done the interview yet?”
“Yes ma’am, we are just waiting for you to approve it to be sent to the editing department ”
“You can make that decision when am not around, I gave you the right too, you are my assistant so go on and approve it”
“Ok, thank you and am glad you are alive and safe, you and your husband ”
“Thank you, I really appreciate your words”
I buried my myself in files that needed my signature only and cases only me can handle as the day ran it’s course.
Xavier’s POV
From the moment I was shot then got better to now, Jessica has been very understanding and never left my side for too long, and it made me really happy, I have a lot of things planned for this trip we are going to, I will propose to her to continue this marriage with me, then when we come back I will annulled the contract and tell grandfather of my decision, I just hope she will agree to continue, I like her no I love her and I feel like she feels the same way but I just don’t know how deep it is.
Everyone was either greeting me, trembling in fear or nervous which one it was or genuinely happy am alive when ever they see me passing, the fear I know steam from people am going to let go today, nervous people who don’t know if they are among them and happy people who have nothing to fear because they are innocent from the get go.
I entered my office and my secretary was looking at me like I just fell from the sky,
“You are late”
“Is that ‘thank God you are okay’ you are supposed to tell me first?”
“Of course I already can see you are more than okay so why would I still ask that?”
“You break my heart by the things you say, are you sure you are my friend?”
“I am and still am, perhaps it’s your brain that needed treatment not your body, we’ll get ready to get rid of some people, I have prepared the contract for those whose shares and stocks needs to be bought ”
“That’s why i like you regardless of your rotten mouth”
“I don’t care, after we settle this am going on a three months paid leave ”
“No you are not”
“Well you are not stopping me either way, my heart wife needs my attention, she said if I don’t get the leave, I will be sleeping on the couch from now on and I don’t want to”
“Of course am not stopping you , okay let’s make a de…..”
“No thanks, the last time I did I regretted it bitterly ”
“You should allow me finish”
“Nope am not”
“Four months paid vocation to any country….”
“Thank you I can afford that”
“You will use my yacht ”
“Nope already used and I found out I am sea sick”
“I will double your salary ”
“Thank you but any more and am going to bankrupt you, though it’s impossible ”
“You can have….. ha …. have that car”
“Huh? I didn’t get you well”
“You can have that car you wanted but am only doing paid three months vacation ”
“Okay, nice doing business with you, by the way it’s my wife that actually wants the car so thank you, give me the keys?”
“I don’t have it here with me”
“Oh we both know you are lying, you carry the damn thing all the time because I know how much you cherish it, don’t worry she will use it well”
“Fuck you, here take it but just know it may not like your wife or anyone else but me driving it, it loves me too much you see”
“Don’t worry I will have something change it to my liking, it’s just an Al”
“No it isn’t, that’s my first wife”
“I wonder what Mrs McCartney will say when I tell her what you said ?”
“Okay, have it, am saying no more”
“Now back to business, let’s go and get some rats out”
“What about among the workers, did you get anyone?”
“More than you can imagine, yes I have the list right here”
“What, three hundred people, there is no more workers anymore ”
“Well some can be pardoned though if you wanted”
“I will check it out when we are back but now let’s go catch the big ones”
“Okay, uhm Xavier?”
“Yes?”
“Am really glad you are okay”
“…. uhooohoo, that’s so cheesy see I have goosebumps all over”
“Idiot ”
“Thank you!!”
