Be My Wifey Or Lose Your Job

Janelle’s Pov

When it was night time, I got dressed in a black short gown and wore my silver ‘eels with it.

I checked the lengthy mirror in my room and nodded in satisfaction with my looks.

I grab my phone on the table and put a call across to Diana.

“Hey, wassup?.”she asked immediately she picked the call.

I rolled my eyes and folded my left hand under my right one and leaned my back on my table.

“Well, I’m ready. So much of a hooker you are to forget about giving me the address.”I scoffed.

“Oh, how can I forget such.”she chuckled.

“Anyway, babes. Peep out of your window, Hun?.”she added enthusiastically.

“What is it again..”I grumbled.

“C’mon, check it out.”she urged.

I breathed out heavily before walking to the window side and drawing the curtains apart, I peeped out only for me to see a car parked in our lawn.

“Huhhh?…”

“Huhh??…, did you see that?. Well, you should take back your words cause I’m sure an exact hooker!.”she said and hang up.

I scoffed and removed the phone from my ear.

Well, I guess I have to go.

I took my purse and moved out of the room.

“Do you know the guy outside?, he said he’s waiting for you.”mom asked me as I walked inside the living room.

“Well… yeah. i.. uhm.. do know him.”I nodded in affirmation and caused the fact that I had to stutter.

Mom looked at me suspiciously before nodding.

“Who is he by the way?. Your boyfriend?.”she asked.

Boyfriend?. That sure isn’t the way to put it.

“Let’s just say he is.”I replied vaguely.

Mom smiled and now, it was my time to look at her suspiciously and confusedly.

“I’m happy you’re my daughter and I’m proud of you. You sure are good with words, I guess that’s why you’re a prosecutor. Do you know what?, a woman came to me at the convenience store and commented you for being a great prosecutor.”she expounded.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Thanks for the compliment. But, do you mean by a woman came to the convenience store and commented on me?.”

“Well, yeah. She did came. And now i see that it is no lie.”mom chuckled.

“Ah, alright. I’ll be on my way.”I announced to mom who suddenly look like she was lost in thought.

“Janelle?.”she called.

“Uhm?.”I answered with walking towards the entrance door.

“Can you be someone’s requested wife?.”she suddenly asked out of the blue.

What?.

I stopped and turned to her.

“What do you mean?, someone’s requested wife?. I’ve never heard such and what?.”I laughed.

“That’s nonsense. Why do you ask me that.”I added.

She gazed at me for some minutes and shook her head vigorously.

“No. Nothing. Nevermind.”she gave a faded smile.

Okay?.

I nodded then moved out of the house.

A few steps away to the car, my phone rang.

I checked the caller and saw Diana’s ID.

Gosh.

What again..

I stopped walking and picked the call up.

“Are your wearing a makeup?.”was the first thing she asked.

“I will be damned to do that.”I replied.

“Oh, God, you’re horrible. How can you go out on a date with no makeup?.”she complained.

“This is not the first time I will be doing that. Anyway, I hope he will dislike me..”I answered and ended the call.

The guy whined down the window and glanced out then I continue walking.

“I’m Janelle.”I said to him.

“I know.”he smiled while looking me up and down.

Okay?…

What the hell?.

I walked over to the passenger seat in the front and the door opened automatically.

Hmm..

I guess he’s that rich.

I entered and the door closed back on its own accord.

“Welcome. I’m Josh.”he smiled out and I nodded.

He ignited the engine and drove off.

We didn’t say anything to each other throughout the drive.

He stopped in front of a restaurant then he pressed a button and the door opened.

I got out and he also did.

He handed his keys for the valet man before we headed in.

We took a seat and immediately, a waiter walked up to us.

“Welcome to Buckleberry Restaurant, what would you like to take.., ma’am?.. sir?..”he asked as he brought out his pen.

Josh took the menu card on the table and stared at it for some minutes.

He looked up at me before passing the card to me.

“You should make the order.”he said.

I collected it from him and scrutinized the contents in the card.

“We will take No 4, beef soup.”I told the waiter without looking up.

“Okay.. what about the drinks?.”he asked.

“Uhm… I think water will do. Just water.”I answered and this time around, I looked up at him.

He wrote something down on his jotter pad and nodded.

“So, beef soup and water?.”he asked again just to be sure.

I adjusted on my seat and gave a nod.

“Yes.”

“Alright.. I will be back.”and with that said, he left.

“You do not look beautiful only in picture but in person also.”Josh said after the waiter left.

“Thanks for the… wait, I’ve you seen me before?.”I asked, befuddled.

“Yeah. Your friend send me your pictures.”he replied.

Geez.. Diana!.

“Oh..”was the only thing I could mutter.

Minutes later, the waiter arrived and drop our order on our table.

“Do enjoy your meal, ma and sir.”he bowed.

” Sure. Thanks.”I said to him.

He turned around and walked away to attend to other customers.

We ate in total silence making me alot uncomfortable.

I guess Josh is a man of few words cause he doesn’t talk much but he do smiles a lot.

After a while, we’re done eating.

I cleaned my mouth with the napkin before I carried the glass of water and gulped it down.

I checked the time on my phone and my eyes widened.

The time has gone.

I guess I don’t really know because of the bright lights here.

Geez…

“Is there any problem?.”Josh asked.

I glanced up at him and sighed.

“I have to be on my way now.”I told him and I ignored the fact that he gave a reluctant nod.

“Okay. I will drop you off.”he replied as we both stood up together.

“No, don’t let me trouble you. I can take a cab home..”I said.

“But..”

“Don’t worry. I will be just fine. Thanks for the offer by the way.”

“Alright.. since you’re adamant, no probs.”he smiled as we moved out of the restaurant.

“But l will wait until you’ve found a cab.”he said.

“You really don’t have to wor…”I shook my head.

“I insist.”he cut me off.

I stared at him for some minutes before I shrugged.

“Okay then.”I smiled.

As we waited for a cab to show up, Josh tried to start a conversation.

“Are you free tomorrow?.”he asked.

“No.”I simply replied.

“Okay.”he nodded.

I don’t know why but I don’t want the conversation to end.

I glanced at him then chuckled at his nervous behavior.

“What?.. do you have something to. say?..”I asked and he looked at me.

“Me?.. ah.. well.. can we do this next time?.. I mean, do you want to go on another date with me?.”he asked.

I smiled and looked away from him.

“Yeah. I will notify you when I’m less busy.”I replied.

“Here. You should give me your contact.”he said while proffering his phone to me.

I collected it from him and punch my number on his phone.

I stretched it back to him and a hand came out of nowhere and nabbed the phone from me before Josh could collect it and threw it on the express and immediately, a speeding truck stepped right on it getting the phone pieces.

My mouth hang opened in the air…

And, I turned to see the person who could have done this act…
