Amanda left with Mrs. Robinson to the Club to meet the manager. They knocked on the door and were ushered to come in which they did.It was a short bald man, he studied Amanda closely before looking at Mrs. Robinson."How may I help you?" He asked. Mrs. Robinson cleared her throat and looked at Amanda. Amanda cleared her throat and said."I'm here for the job Sir!" The man looked at him again before saying."You mean you are here for the waiter job?" The man asked again which made Amanda stare at Mrs. Robinson before looking at the Man. She nodded her head before replying."Yes Sir, I will do my best to work diligently here," Amanda promised."Okay, you can start tonight, let's see how hard-working you are," the man said. Amanda couldn't scream for Joy. She heard her mouth looking at Mrs. Robinson. They walked out of the man's office later and she couldn't stop thanking Mrs. Robinson for helping her out."Thank you so much Mrs. Robinson, thank you for this opportunity," Amanda said
Eric cleared his throat again to bring Amanda out of her thoughts. He smiled as he looked at her before saying."James will be resuming next week. His principal called to inform me and I guess he has told you about it," Eric said to Amanda with a more serious tone.Amanda only nodded as she couldn't trust her voice, she was still feeling embarrassed and couldn't look up at Eric's face until he finished talking. She later left for the club after tutoring James to resume the day.Close to her usual closing hour, she was informed a new customer had just arrived at the club who needed her services as other waiters were still very much busy and it was only her who was now preparing to leave. She dragged her feet as she left to attend to the customer. On getting there she bowed without looking at the customer's face and served the drinks she came with on the table."Amanda," a familiar voice called, which made her freeze at that moment. She slowly looked and her gaze met with Kelvin who was
After crying and putting herself together, she found Eric staring at her while still waiting for a reply even though she hadn't said anything to him. And swallowed hard and looked away, as words were stuck in her throat, she couldn't even think of where to start and found herself contemplating what to say which was unlike her.She wondered why she was feeling this way when she really doesn't owe Eric any explanation, she looked up at him and found him staring at her, she looked away again still not ready to say anything. Eric, who had been waiting for an explanation, became impatient as none was coming from Amanda. He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth in order to suppress the anger that was building up in him as he started thinking that she purposely worked in the club. He didn't want to see her as a loose girl or a whore because she is far from being that, but he wanted to know her reason for working in the club in the first place, even if she doesn't have any I'll intention
"Why did you bring me here?" Amanda asked, looking Eric in the face. He swallowed hard not knowing what to say at this juncture because he really doesn't know what to explain to Amanda to make her understand."Please can I go back home," Amanda said, trying not to get annoyed. She turned to leave but Eric stopped her from leaving. "It's not safe for you to go back home, please stay over," Eric pleaded but Amanda wasn't ready to listen. She just wanted to be alone, maybe to think about everything that has happened so far, especially Tonight with Kelvin. It was so frustrating and annoying that it made her want to go crazy. Everything just started running through her memories right now and it was pissing her off."Like who gave him such audacity to do much with her," Amanda thought to herself.She looked at Eric and saw the pleading looks in his eyes which made her know he cares about her. She sighed giving up, she decided to listen to him and started walking into the mansion without w
Amanda hurriedly dressed up as Eric kept calling her on the phone, he had decided to take Amanda and James out for dinner.She didn't know why he had decided to take them out but was also looking forward to the date deep within her. "I am meant to avoid him already, the outing isn't meant to excite me this much," she thought to herself. She settled on a white floral dress which made her look like a princess, she sprayed her hair and tied it with a ribbon. She wore silver sandals heels and a bag to match and was ready for the date. Amanda's phone started buzzing and she checked the caller ID, it was Eric calling. She picked it up and he indicated he was outside waiting for her.He is taking them out on a dinner date and Amanda made sure she applied light makeup to match, she took her silver handbag and was ready to go.Her phone vibrated again and she quickly checked who might message her, she opened the phone to see Eric's message."Are you done?" - Eric. "Yeah, I am! I am coming
After spending some time with James, Amanda decided to return to her room to rest for the day.Coming outside the room, she saw Eric standing at the door. He had been listening to their conversation which surprised Amanda, she swallowed hard and Eric only smiled at her. "When did you get here?" Amanda asked him with surprise written all over her face.She wasn't expecting him to come back this quickly from wherever he went earlier which surprised her. "Not quite long," Eric replied with a smile which she returned.He didn't even hesitate to walk into James' room, he kissed him and came out immediately which left James speechless just like Amanda, she peeped into James' room and their eyes met, she smiled at him before giving him a wink.They stood looking at each other for some time before Eric decided to invite her into his study. So they could discuss what she and James were actually talking about. Amanda followed him into his study and he gestured for her to sit with him which s
The next day it was so hard for Amanda to do whatever she had to do without thinking about Eric, it was like he was now stuck in her memories. She closed her eyes as she sat on the bed that morning thinking of how to get rid of the thoughts of Eric which were lingering in her mind. She barely slept last night and whenever she does, he doesn't hesitate to appear in her dreams. She sighed as she placed the back of her palm on her neck wondering if she was actually alright to be feeling this way about him already. It was an unusual feeling that she cannot explain. She knew falling for Eric might be the biggest mistake of her life which she might regret but hence she cannot stop her mind from thinking about him, she felt like being restricted and handicapped."Damn!" She sighed slightly and closed her eyes. His handsome face and the way he stared at her couldn't stop flashing through her memories. It was very hurtful already because she knows that she has fallen in love with him."Why?"
Amanda and the little girl were already done, they boarded a taxi heading to the address Mrs. Robinson sent it after she reached out to her on the phone. Meanwhile, Eric who had returned from work some hours ago was worried as Amanda wasn't yet home after he was informed she had left earlier in the evening for shopping after he inquired from James. Eric checked his time again and it was already past 11 pm, and his worries increased. He picked up his phone from his pocket and she called her number again but Amanda is not picking up.Eric stood up and he started pacing up and down in his room and a thought crossed his mind." Did she return to her apartment?" Eric thought to himself with narrowed eyes." Maybe I make her uncomfortable," Eric signed.He ransacked his memories trying to remember if he had ever made her uncomfortable while she was staying with him but couldn't grasp any incident or event where he did."Since she told James she is going on shopping, then that's what happe
