đ«đ«JAKE REID đ«đ«"The sea? really? Way to go dude! I have a phobia for large expanses of water, Seas, Oceans, Rivers and the likes! Oh Mama, I'm about to get sea sick please take me home!" She criedHa!"Hey, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were scared of water. I actually booked our dinner on a cruise ship but it's okay. I'll just cancel and we can have dinner somewhere else"I said trying to calm her down. See I did kind of do my homework pretty well, so I did know she had a phobia for water, I brought her here so I could have a laugh!"But you already made a reservation! I donât want you to waste your money" She said looking down and playing with her.One could easily tell that she was blaming herself. Oh nice đThe money is a piece of cake, nothing to be worked up about. But it's good to see Charlotte all stressed up. Itâs like comic relief of some sort."No, it's fine" I said but I pretended to look sad "It's just a pity, I'd have to waste money!""Wait! you're worrie
đ©ââïžCHARLOTTEđ©ââïžCharlotte Fool Meyers, I should have been named that instead of Charlotte Slim Meyers. Why on earth did I have to leave the restaurant in annoyance uhn? Now how do I get home? there are no cabs in sight too. Stranded, that's what I am right now.Oh, a car is coming, let me try and see if I can hitch a ride. Hitchhiking is illegal but I'm in a tight sitch right now."Hey.... stop...!!!"gosh! they are not stopping.....Is that Jake's car approaching? Yeah it is. Oh thank goodness. It's getting late and no one would want to be stuck in this deserted area.He's parking, thank God the arrogant TV star has a good heart! Even if itâs pretense, I donât care. Just get me out of here."Are you stranded?" He asked after winding down his car window"......"Do I say yes? if I do he might make fun of me"No, I'm just having a hard time getting a cab" I replied"Sorry, cabs do not ply this route!" He said "Are you sure you're not stranded?" He asked again"I'
đ©ââïž CHARLOTTE đ©ââïžMonday morning came quick like the bat of an eyelash. I got ready as early as I could and headed to the hospital where I had to check in before finding my way to the Reyes mansion to resume my job as the familyâs private doctor. Yeah I should be excited, right? But I donât know.âOh lord, have mercy upon my innocent soulâ I whispered on my way out of the hospital. I was at the exit when I barged into someone coming into the building. Oh! no drama this morning, please. I just want this day to go without any hiccupsThis person has rock hard abs that I winced in pain, involuntarily.âOuch!â I placed my palm over my forehead and looked up to see who I had bumped into.humph! Itâs the arrogant TV starâŠ. Donât piss me off again, mister. I have had enough of your attitude.âYou should watch where you are going next time.â I said and made to leave but of course, he pulls me back.âSomeone is in a bad mood eh!?â He said with a smirk on his face.âNo
âïž ONTARIO âïž "What? no, why would I fire you?" I asked with a shocked expression on my face. "Well, Doctor Bell just called to tell me that my time working as your doctor has ended. and to think you wanted to relieve me of my stress" Charlotte, said shoulders slumped. Walking away from my side, she picked up her bag and made to leave the house. "Wait, let's get to the hospital together" I offered "No, thanks. I'll find my way" That said she left my house without even looking me in the face on last time. Anger and other emotions welled up in inside of me, mostly anger because I finally thought I had the chance to spend more time with her and probably make her catch feelings for me too. I didn't even know when I started breaking stuff in sight. "Ouch!" a sharp pain in the thumb brought me back to his senses, I must have wounded myself with one of the broken stuff Iâm throwing around. "I could have told her just how much I loved her, if that silly phone hadn't ruined the moment
đ« JAKE REID đ«I heard from Dr. Bell that Charlotte returned to work yesterday, upon my orders. Thatâs the only reason Iâm at work today, that and also Ontario, I just have the feeling that heâs coming for me.About an hour after I had settled in the office, I could here someone fumbling with the door handle, trying to come in without knocking. I relax properly on my sit, this was the drama I signed up for.The person walks in, itâs Ontario and might I say, he looks so pissed off.âWhy did you call Charlotte off her duty as my doctor?âHe asked from the door, he walked into the office and bent in front of my desk, smashing his fist hard against it.âTell me, I need to knowâI curved the corner of my mouth slyly. âWhat kind of business man has no manners?âI asked with a raised eyebrow, I was referring to the fact that he barged into my office without knocking.He doesnât respond to my question, instead he stands straight and rubs hard against his tempo.âJake,
đ©ââïž CHARLOTTE đ©ââïž I spent a good part of the day at home with my mom and sister. My shift was to start at 8pm till tomorrow morning. So I donât go to the hospital until itâs 7:30 pm. Ontario has been blowing up my phone with calls and texts all day but I didnât pick his calls or open his messages. Iâll talk to him later obviously, just not yet. When I got the hospital, Phoebe was the first one I saw, she didnât look good. I mean she always has a face void of emotions but today, she looked gloomy. It made me feel as though something was wrong. âHi phoebe, is everything alright?â I asked her when she got to where I stood. She doesnât say a word but instead envelopes me in a tight hug. I do not like this feeling. When she frees me from the hug, I take a quick scan of the room and see that it wasnât just Phoebe with the gloomy look, everyone else too. âDid someone die?â I asked but no one answered. Phoebe took out a letter from her breast pocket and handed it to me. She excused
đ©ââïž CHARLOTTE MEYERSđ©ââïžWho could have thought Jake could stoop so low, it was all part of an elaborate plan to get to the Reyes family after all, I was nothing more than a pawn in his game of chess. Here I was thinking, he had asked me out on that date because he wanted to make up for his attitude the first time we met Ontario did what he had to do, he chose his family over me, the business was his family business and he did what he could to grow it, too bad it was at my disadvantage. I know I should be blaming him for ruining my life but I really canât find a reason too. Jake is the villain in this case and not Ontario. What I wish though is for him to have at least given me a heads up, maybe that would have lessened the blow. It wouldnât so this hurtful if I found out from Ontario instead.I donât take the bus home, I walk instead, from the hospital to my house is quite a distance but I was too immersed in my sorrow to even notice.I tried holding back m
âïž ONTARIO âïžThe least I could do is to go see Charlotte and explain everything to her, at first I thought Jake was bluffing, not until I got a call from the minister telling me I have been awarded the contracts since Jake and his family backed out.She wasnât home when I arrived so I opted to wait for her, Khloe kept me company until she arrived, she said Charlotte had left home very early in the morning, itâs evening time and she wasnât back yet.I was almost changing my mind and thinking of coming back tomorrow when she walked in through the door. She seemed different, like something changed inside of her. âCharlotteâŠâ I start to say when she sees me, her eyes are widened in disbelief.âWhat do you want? Please leave. I donât want to talk to youâ She says, avoiding my gaze.Why ask me what I want if you donât want to talk to me? âI swear itâs not what it seems.â I try to explain âI can make it up to you.ââHow Ontario? How? How are you going to make i
