Zachary led me to a very expensive car.
I smile as he open the the door to let me settled down then he turn around and took his seat behind the wheel.He turn to me gazing at my blue eyes for a brief seconds before coughing to clear his throat.
" Where should we go Jillian? " he asked interestedly and i had to laugh." You make it sounds like a date " i said laughing. He's so cute and I think we can get along.
Wait! Get along where? The voice inside my mind asked sternly.
He's your boss for God sake Jill.I shook my head slowly and tried to stay calm Wait a sec ? Was i nervous?No no, I'm sure not.I turn to look at Zachary and was confused to find him looking at me with steady eyes.What's wrong with this guy? He has been staring at me as though I'm some sought of goddess.
" I think we should go to claw lake " He said putting the key in the Ignition.
" Claw lake? , It's been a while i visit it's beauty scene " i said smiling.
" Okay then, let's go " he said before turning on the engine of the car.He pull out of the parking lot and unto the road." So how old are you now? " He asked.
I sense he's trying to create a conversation." I'm 24 Mr... Oh i mean Hary " I said smiling. I wave out a strand of my hair which has been obstructing my view and lean back to seat.Zachary smile as he focus on the road after briefly stealing a glance at me." Did you do that on purpose ? '' he asked me.
I was confused, i turn to him.
" Do what ? ''" Did you laugh sweetly on purpose or that's just your habit?" He replied not looking at me
I chuckled and relax.
I don't want him to find fault in me at all , especially on our first time meeting. Oh wait, i forgot we met before four years ago." It's an habit Hary and when did you arrive ?" i asked. He was about to reply when my phone buzz from my bag.
I groan and pull it out expecting to see my manager's name on the screen but to my relief it was my dad.I quickly answer it delightly."Hello father" i said.
I noticed Zachary remain silent and seem to be focus on the driving but I'm pretty sure his mind is forty percent on the road and sixty percent with me.I laugh at my thoughts and tried to listen to my father.His voice sounds cheerful but i think i caught a hint of loneliness in it Maybe i was wrong." How are you doing baby " my father ask on the other end
My father has been the only one to call me baby.Well i won't blame him since my mother ran away when i was nine.he has,since then focus on me alone."Baby" has been the name he called me from toddler and he hasn't changed.It was even a luck everyone knows my real name." I'm doing great dad. How are you too ? " I asked feeling guilty for being away for so long.
" I'm holding up well, your beauty is growing as seconds pass. I saw you on TV last night " He replied coughing.
I crease my face in concern." Are you okay dad?" I asked in alarm
" Yeah I'm fine, it's just ... Nothing " he replied hesitating at the last minute.
I'm sure something is wrong, or is it just that I'm worrying for nothing.
Probably because he miss me so much.
I assure him in a happy tone that i will be visiting next week and he replied so excited telling me he can't wait.I smiled to myself and after exchanging loves you i hung up." Is everything okay?, You look Moody". Zachary said looking at me briefly.
"I'm fine, it's nothing " i said trying to cheer up.
He pulled into Claw Lake parking lot and stop the car before announcing." We are here " he said in a singsong voice causing me to laugh.
" I love your smile " He said before he alight.
He turn around to open the car for me and i step out.The claw lake view is extremely beautiful." Your dad own this too ... Right ? " I asked.
" Yeah he does" he replied before putting his hand on my back encouraging me to walk with him.I Know already that Mike own Everything that has to do with Claw.He led me to an empty table facing the quiet lake and i sat down on a chair, him taking another accross me.
I look back to see some kids smiling at me , they wave and i wave at them in return.The eldest whose age is likely to be 17 walk up to me bravely and said." Please can i get an autograph Jillian Don?, You can sign my hat " She said extending her hat to me.
I smile sweetly at her and pul out my pen from my silver bag.
I scribble on the hat and smile at her." Thanks Jillian, I'm your fan " She said happily before joining her waiting friends.I watch them leave and smile.
I was so happy for being so famous and being love by people.I turn to Zachary and caught him looking at me.I smile at him." They're so sweet " i said with a teary eyes to the surprise of Zachary.He slowly touch my cheek swiping away the tears with his thumb.
" You're so beautiful " He said again and i laugh.
He picked up his cellphone and texted someone. Not long two waiters emerges from behind me with some food and wine.
They serve it neatly on our table and bow to Zachary before leaving.I was surprised, okay i see.
He has plan out the outing even before coming to my shooting show." So you know i will agree to go to lunch with you ?" I asked him before sipping the wine.
Oh, i sign. It tasted so great.'' Yeah, I Know you won't decline " He said proudly.Not so full of himself huh?
“ I always have a plan for everything you know ” he said easily as he sip his wine. I look at him for a moment and I realized he’s very handsome. His blue bright eyes stare at me in return and i look away shyly. “ You’re beautiful jilly ” He said softly and i held the urge to roll me eyes. Okay fine, i appreciate him telling me I’m beautiful but the compliment is getting too much and why do I even have this feelings that he want more than just a lunch. And as though he has read my thoughts he look at me seriously and I prepare myself to hear whatever he has to say for he look so serious. “ Are you single ? ” He asked looking at me intensely. I creases my face in surprise. That caught me off guard, I smile and was about to reply when he interrupt immediately. “ I go through your profile and there has not been any boyfriend. So you’re single? ” He said calmly. I pinned him with my gaze and watch him slowly. I smile, I had to. He wants me to be his girlfriend. Because there’s
Jack mayor's Pov I walk down the stairs slowly to walk to the living room where i was told my younger sister who just got back after four years has been waiting for me.Maureen is the only sister i have and since our mother died when Maureen was three i have vow to protect her always but i failed on that quest.I stop short from descending the stairs and look at her. I gritted my teeth with annoyance and look away. " Jack I'm so ..." She began but she didn't finish her sentence before sobbing.I walk towards her and stood in front of her with an unread Expression.She took a step back and stifled yet another sob.She knows I'm extremely mad at her.I stare hard at her and look toward Laura my nanny, no our nanny.Both my sister and i has been in care of Laura since my mother's demise." Get her clean up please " i said to Laura and walk towards the door.I couldn't speak to Maureen, i do warn her about going to that man's house but she said she's in love. " Jack " She called and
Jack's Pov.I alighted from the car that wet night and walk inside.There's no one in sight so i just ascend the stair to my room. I was halfway to my room when i heard whispers.I creases my face and stop walking.The whispers was coming from the kitchen.I retraced my step and walk down the stair to stood in front of the french door of the kitchen.I heard the whispers again and i shrug, Laura and Maureen are both female so they're probably catching up for the lost time.I was about to go into my bedroom when the urgency in Maureen voice halted me." No way, you can't tell him. Jack's going to kill me if he ever finds out. " My eyes wide in surprise.What's must she hiding from me? I ask myself with confused mind.Laura voice interrupted my thoughts." No Maureen, you're living in his house now. One way or the other he's going to find out " i couldn't wait at all to know what's going on.I pushed open the door and walk in, i stood at the entrance my face held surprise." What's goin
Jillian's Pov Zach drove me back home and smile at me when I was about to alight. I smiled back and said " Thanks for the drink and also for the necklace " he smiles in answer and watch me get inside. I wave at him as I stood at the door and he waved back before driving off. I walk inside to meet larry, my hair stylist Diana ,Lorie my fashionista and also my chauffeur han. We are like a family. They stare at me as i flop on the couch and sign. " You haven't been eating too much ... right ? " Larry asked and i smile shooking my head in negative. " So what's going on between you and Zach? , Common jilly he's a Playboy " Lorie said creasing her Face in sadness and I stare surprisingly at her. That's so much of a concern. " is that why you look so sad? Almost crying ? " Diana said hissing and I laugh. Those two are always on each other's throat. They quarrel all the time that I can't believe they haven't kill each other. " I'm thinking of accepting him " I said looking at the
Jack's PovThe sun shone brightly through my window and i rise from the bed sluggishly.It was a fine morning and a good weather for swimming. I would have go straight to the pool for swimming if i wasn't in a bad mood.This isn't the time for swimming i said to myself.I have even call my manager to inform him i wouldn't be coming over for training for a while and I'm very sure Donald my personal assistant will manage my company well in my absence.I have to figure out what has been going on with Maureen.I stood up from my bed and entered the bathroom to take my bath and clean up.I emerges moment later and got dress in a black T-shirt and a baggy short.I love dressing that way when I'm at home.Being a famous swimmer and a successful billionaire business man, i had my own taste of fashion.I walk out of my room to Maureen's.I stood at the door for a while before giving it a knock but no answer so i open the door and step in but no one is in sight.I called her name figuring she

" i asked her horrified and she nodded tiredly. I gasped in surprise. Should I be excited that i just hit a jackpot by saving the famous jack mayor's sister ? I push down the thought away and look at han. " Are you okay han ? " i asked him worriedly. He has a cut on his lips but he's driving okay ... that's important. I wouldn't like it if he drive us three to our death. He nodded. " I'm fine " he replied glancing briefly at me through the visor. I smile at him in response before turning to Maureen. " What's your address? I will accompany you home myself. " I told her but she shook her head. I stare at her and I notice faint bruises on her neck. Is she been going through some pains?. She isn't like the graceful lady I always stare at in the news. Maureen mayor has been an elegant beautiful lady. She has been famou
