CHAPTER 2

Since there were a lot of people including reporters, she knew her mother was not going to make a huge fuss. She smiled walking towards the door and heard her engine. Her ride had arrived. How did she get all these quick and loyal stuff?

By the time she got out of the house, the Bentley sedan was roaring outside. Her driver Tom opened the door for her, she got inside and he closed it before he went back to his seat.

“Where should I take you to, Viper?”

“Take me to the club. I need a drink. Where is my assistant?” she asked.

“You gave her the night off, have you forgotten?”

“Indeed I have. Call her and tell her to meet me at the club if she still wants her job in thirty minutes,” Haven said and closed her eyes.


Gina had been working for Haven White aka Viper for less than a year now. Apparently her boss couldn’t keep her assistants for too long. She either fired them or they quit on their own. She was very demanding and you could get no sleep at all.

She was shocked when her boss gave her an early night off. It was her birthday but she had heard rumors about how much she loathed the parties. So unlike her predecessors she didn’t sleep when she was supposed to but ate and waited patiently for her phone to ring. And it rang; she answered quickly.

“Tom!”

“Thirty minutes at the club.”

“Thank you,” she said and hung up.

She quickly took her bag and her car keys and left her apartment.

When jobs were scarce and difficult to find Gina still got lucky and landed a job with one of the vicious women she had ever met. Her boss was so young and yet she ran a very huge organization which a few knew. She was probably the very richest person and yet it was supposed not to be known.

Gina didn’t go to those Ivy League universities or any famous ones but she went o a college. Majored in secretarial studies for two years and graduated. She didn’t stay for two months looking for employment.

It was after a month of dropping CVs, working at café shop when she first met Haven. To any ordinary person Haven was just Haven and to those who knew better she was a White; one of the influential families in the city and country.

Because she studied these families, she knew exactly who she was and was very happy when she saw her in the café shop, she worked in. So, she went ahead, took her order and gave it to her for free.

“I don’t like handouts,” Haven said to her.

“You are my idol,” Gina replied.

Gina still remembered the look on Haven’s face. She looked shocked so Gina explained further.

“You followed your heart and did everything you wanted despite of what your family thought and how the media perceive you.”

She saw Haven’s face loosening before she smiled at her.

“You have ways with words Gina,” she said as she looked at her name tag.

“Thank you.”

“So, Gina are you a student or what?”

“I graduated a month ago and still looking for a job,” she said honestly.

“Was this your plan all along, to find something from me?”

“No, I was just happy to see you. I never thought I would be able to do in real life.”

“That’s sweet music to my ears. So, what were you doing at school?”

“Secretarial studies,” she replied her.

“That’s good. Come to this place at 8p.m and I will see what I can do for you,” Haven said and left the café.

She was very happy that she couldn’t wait to go. She realized later that it was a club. She had never gone to a club before. When she arrived, she showed her card to the doorman and he let her through.

She was taken to the V.I. Ps side where she saw Haven seated with a bunch of girls and she could tell they were all flirting with her. Was Haven gay?

“You came,” she said smiling and offered her a seat.

“Thank you,” she said as she sat down. She wondered if Haven had brought her here so that she could be a call girl. It would be very devastating.

Haven sent all the girls away and it was just the two of them.

“Is this your first time in a club?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Now tell me all about yourself. Don’t leave anything out.”

She had learnt about one thing, sometimes you need to interpret a question as simple as possible. So she did exactly that and began to talk about herself.

Gina was raised in a family of seven children, six girls and one boy. Because there were too many her parents just did all they could to give each and every one of them education.

She realized that there was no way they could send her to university or college so she began working many part time jobs and saved her money for tuition. In the end she chose secretarial studies because she liked being around people ad was quick on her feet and it won’t be difficult to get a job too. She was about to turn twenty-one and was in need of a job.

“Interesting narration,” Haven said and took out a cigarette and lit it.

Gina was shocked because she didn’t take Haven for a smoker.

“I will give you a job but not the one you are looking for now. This club needs another waitress. Work yourself up and if you earn it, you will see places.”

That is what Haven told her before she began her new job at the club. It was tiring but she kept on. The salary was good and she was not going to spoil this opportunity. Thanks to her quick wits she began to connect the dots and when she realized what she had found out she was shocked.

Haven was impressed, how she knew about it she never asked.
