Chapter 4

DREA

• I hope I won't go to his house again, he is annoying, He tried to kiss me. He made a big mistake.

I punch in level 15 in the elevator praying earnestly that no one joins because I hate getting cramped up with people on the ride. My prayer was almost answered until I saw someone's leg halt the complete closure of the door.

"My elevator is broken, call the maintenance to come to check it out, I need it running in fifteen minutes Zoe"

He hangs up on the call.

I go back praying no one else enters and praise be to God it was answered.

I kept my focus on the door, resisting the urge to peek at the face of the man who owned an incredible baritone voice and an intoxicating smell. I didn't pay attention when he stepped in and I regret not checking him out.

When I arrived on my floor, I released the breath I didn't even know I was holding. When I turned around thinking the elevator had closed, he gave me a corny side smile and I managed to act unmoved, I arched a brow, turned around, and headed to my office.

That went well.

Getting to my office, I saw Michelle eating Lunch, I guess.

"Hey Mitchelle"

"Hi. How was it at Jason's?"

I can't tell her what happened, definitely not.

"It went well"

I replied and walk around my desk to sit.

"Michelle"

I called her, carefully opening the parcel on my table.

"What?"

She asked.

"Who dropped this here?"

I looked at her.

"The delivery guy said it's from JB"

Chocolate boxes, champagne, and rose flowers.

First of all, Who is JB?

And why is he sending me this?

This person is a guy and a stalker of course.

"Okay"

I said to Michelle.

I take out a wrapped note placed beneath all the items.

-I don't know what you like but I hope you fancy them all.

Xoxo(JB).

JB??

It doesn't ring in my brain, who is he?

"Drea, I'm getting married soon so I'm having my bachelorette party and I want you to be there"

Michelle said bringing me back to reality.

"Aww, I will be there"

I need to take a break and tour the city, not a bad idea.

"Thanks, I will let you know when I pick a date"

"Ok"

"there is an emergency meeting in 10 minutes"

"Emergency meeting?"

"Yeah, a message was sent to everyone last night, did you check your phone?"

No, I didn't.

I nodded negatively and checked my phone.

"Well, the chairman of channel news will be here soon"

"The chairman, oh"

"Yeah"

I've heard of him but haven't seen him.

"Let's go"

Michelle said.

We left for the board room.

People start applauding, I turned to see who they are applauding for.

Can't believe my eyes.

It's Mr. Dominic, My father!

I almost fell, and Michelle grabbed me.

"Are you ok?"

She asked.

I nodded positively.

He walked in and smiled and the elevator guy from earlier was beside him and also a girl that looks like my age too.

I had no idea I was working in his company. before I left them, they had a broadcast station, it was doing so well but wasn't this big.

"How is everyone? I called you here to share something with you"

He turned to the elevator guy.

"This is Your new CEO"

We applauded.

"I'm Justin Dominic, looking forward to working with you"

Justin? My half-brother?

"And your new director"

He turned to the lady.

"I'm Mandy Dominic, looking forward to working with you"

Wow, Mandy, we don't get along then, I hope she's changed now.

I wonder how mother is doing, I mean Mrs. Dominic and granny too.

The past should be in the past, as long as they can't recognize me, I will keep working here and fulfill my dream of becoming a successful reporter.

We left the board room.

I inhaled and exhaled as I finish the job that was assigned to me, I grabbed my phone to check the time, oh, closing time.

I stretched my body. Michelle had left saying she has some things to do, I wasn't even listening to her.

I packed my bag, took my car keys, and left the office.

On my way down, I was so tired. I bumped into Justin and made the files he was holding fall.

"I'm so sorry"

I said as I help him arrange the files on the floor.

"No worries, em, Drea"

Does he know me?

I looked at him.

"That's your name on your ID right?"

Oh yeah, my ID.

"Yes, Drea Campbell"

I took the last paper and handed everything to him.

"Ok, Thanks"

He left.

Wow, he is hot, I'm sure he has a lot of girls falling for him, obviously and he is nice, always been nice.

I dropped my bag in the backseat of my car, sat in the front seat, and started the car.

I turned on some music and was driving to the smooth beat, having a good time until a Limo hit my car, I stopped my car, took my phone along to use the torch, and alighted to see how damaged it is.

The backlight is damaged.

I turned to the limo.

"Hey, you broke my light? Are you drunk?"

Cause there is no traffic, only a drunk person won't be able to see the road.

He came out.

"I'm sorry, I did not do it on purpose"

He apologized.

"Okay, no problem"

I will have to fix it tomorrow.

"Is it bad?" a voice from the backseat.

"A little bit sir"

The guy in front of me replied.

"Oh, nevermind"

I said 'cause I don't want the police to meet us here.

"Nope, I can't let it go"

The backseat door opens.

It's Jason! He had dark shades and a cap on but I can recognize him.

"Let me see"

He said to his driver, I guess.

He took my hand and brought out a pen.

"Send the bill to the number"

He wrote down a phone number on my palm.

"Wha. What? I don't need this, I will fix it myself"

"Don't be stubborn, are you always like this?"

Yeah, I'm stubborn.

"What is your problem? Why are you onto me? I bet you hit my car on purpose, I know what you are doing and I'm not going to be a victim of it"

"As you can see I'm not the one driving, you know what?"

I took my phone from me.

He saved his number as Hot Jason.

Hot Jason?

"Don't delete it, you will need it"

He whispered in my ear.

I scoffed, I'm deleting it and I don't want to stay a second here anymore.

I entered my car and left.

Asshole.
