Chapter 2
ASHLYN
I covered my Face with my bag and turned to leave, hearing the hard sound of an engine, he revised to where I was and came out.
"You imp, how dare you? You just broke my car!" He howled.
I stand still, looking at him. I can't hear a world he says because I'm so caught up in his handsomeness. He looks like a star, so much more handsome. But he's blabbing things which I don't understand.
"Hey! Hey? Are you deaf! Look what you did to my car?" He words brought me back to reality. I can now see who's wrong,I have to quarrel a lot with him today. As a poor person, we learn to act dramatic in front of the rich so they get disgusted by us and not ask us anything... I should be doing this now.
"Look what you did to my dress and yet you're annoyed? Help me! Someone help!" I wailed "this man is going to kill me! This bully wants to kill me" I continued.
"you middle class property I ruined your cheap dress and look what you did to my baby" he leaned to the car.... "Oh darling, dont worry, I will get you back " he was literally talking to a car
'BABY?' did i just heard him call his car a baby?!
is he a freak or is he crazy?
calling a car baby?
"you ruined my expensive car ,which could never afford not even in your next life" he said looking at me with full disgust.
"well" i said as i was about to leave, I can't let him hold me here, God where do I have money to pay? "you ruined my dress and I ruined your car, it's called vice versa" I say softly. "And next time mister, watch your back" I tell him.
He pulled my hand back and twisted it so hard.
"Don't touch me!" I yelled at him, leaning in front of his car. "You're crazy!" I say even though he smell so good holding me in this position.
"You ruin the glass of my car, so guess who's paying imp?"
He was about to say something else when his phone rang what a weird ringing tone? He answered it still holding my hands behind my back and said "wait for a short while, am coming". I wonder if people of this street don't care if I die?
"I'll come to find you" he tells me, released my hands and entered his car.
I shouted "you can't do anything, i mean you dont know anything about me!" He really doesn't know me, and I won't let my face ever be shown in his presence for as long as I don't get in trouble.
I walked straight to Lydia's house.
She was already dressed and was waiting for me.
"Ashlyn, where were you?
I've been waiting for you for quite a while and wait, what happen to your dress?" she asked.
i wasn't paying attention to what she was saying, i was too hungry to pay attention.
This fool destroyed my breakfast, my stomach and job versus his stupid car? What does he thinks?
"Lydia" I called ,with a soft voice "am hungry and I need to borrow one of your clothes" .
"What happened to yours? I have told a lot of things since you got here, what's wrong? You seem dumbfounded?" she said looking at me with concern.
"I'll tell you later, don't want to ruin my mood so bad, and again. I'll eat first" I say and made my way to the kitchen.
After having a good breakfast, I had to re prepare for the morning, going in search for a job remember?
If I don't get a suitable today, I guess I'll have to go home to meet my aunt as i remember her name ,a shivering cold run down my spine.
"Lydia ,you know what?"
"What?" she asked.
"I give up, I'll go back to my old job of been a waitress, company work is just not for me" I tell her after a long walk in the sun. I'm 100% percent sure as of now that I will remain jobless for life if I keep on dreaming this big
"Ashlyn, baby, you should not give up, we'll find a job sooner or later" she tried talking to me with sweet words so I don't give up. She's always like that.
She thought for a while ,before she spoke again "ashlyn ,I've got an idea".
"What is it?" i asked with a lot of curiousity in me and open my eyes so wide and a broad face like I'm going to eat her.
"There's this girl i met at a boutique sometime ago ,she said she worked at a renowned fashion company, Dogan demi have you heard of it?"
"No" i said.
"Ashlyn, what are you doing on earth if you're not current. I said you need to stay with me but you always reject... You're like an old lady, crazy and naive" she pulled my hair. Then brought out her phone
"Wait, I'll call her now" she said.
"why?" i asked.
"To ask her if their company has any vacant position and pls don't ask me another question so I don't go crazy" she folded both hands together, "I'm more frustrated now."
"Lem me make the call now" she said looking at me so closely.
After making the call "ashlyn ,lets go, there's hope for us".
"Really?!" I asked with disbelief, i never believe in hope, there's a word.
when you expect too much, you get nothing same apply to me sister.
No not apply, always happen, others get chosen over me, every time, I learn to live like This since childhood, throwing all the princess dream away.
"Yes yes, would I play a joke at this crucial time?" She asked me with a serious face. I know shesnot joking.
"Let's go then!" I said.
We hurriedly took a taxi in a swift. She was looking a her phone non stop and feeling disturbed and me, so dizzy, if I don't get a job today, I'll forfeit and go back my job.... I neglected for some days, hope I have a future.
