Chapter 5 WHO IS SHE

SOPHIA'S POV

Dad doesn't know am coming over; here he is, drinking and smoking! I just wish I can let him die or lock him up.... On seeing me, he throws the ciger to the ground and steps on it, with a shameful grin.

'Dad, why can't you just listen? I thought the doctor just wanted my presence.' I scream at him with a groan, as I walk closer.

"So the asshole called you?" My father, Mr. James, says with a frown.

'That doctor you just insulted and myself are the reason you are still alive, right now!' cleaning the tears in my cheeks, 'Ever since mum died, you decided to become a pain in the ass. Do you fucking know what I through out there, in order to take care of you and my needs?... You don't care about anyone but your selfish - self. I hate you so much!' Carrying back my bag I dropped on a chair earlier and rush in crying. I just can't hold it anymore!

ZACK'S POV

Last night was freaking... I can't believe i got into a fight for that troublesome bitch, i barely know. I don't understand why she's surrounded with so much problems... Gosh! I dare not check the internet.

ahhhhhhaaaaaa... (Yawning)

'Am so hungry!' Sitting upright on the bed.

"And that's why you need a woman in this house." Shock; I turn to see Simon on the sofa, pressing his phone.

'How on earth did you get in? I strictly asked the security guy not to let you in!' Gently slapping my face with my left hand.

God, this boy is something else!

"You and I know that's not possible." Simon winks at me with a grin. "I watched what happened last night, at the club. Now, tell me, who is she? Because this is really getting serious and it's like you ain't telling me what I need to know."

'You bomb that question like the press, would. Well, I don't know the girl and I don't understand why she's always there, like she's just there when am around.' I answer honestly but Simon isn't buying it, because his looking at me like the whole explanation is a total bullshit!

"Mmmmm... Ok... ay!" Simon stammers.

'Can you help me prepare breakfast? Am kinda tired and my knuckles hurt!' I move my fingers, pretending it hurts, lolz.

"Fine, but you owe me!" He sits up from the sofa and heads out of the room.

Ring ring!

'Hello mum!'

"How are you doing?" I think I know why she's calling.

'Am fine, you?' I ask!

"Who is she, honey? She's all over the internet! Don't you think it's... " I interrupt.

'Mum, the truth is, I know not that girl. She's surrounded with problems and it just happens that, I get included. It's just the press, forming up stories!'

"Okay Zack, I just hope you ain't lying to your mother as well." She says and I grin.

I just don't know why they don't believe me!

She hangs up and my phone is ringing again, but an unknown number. 'Who's this?' I ask.

A lady replies smoothly, "It's Esther, the founder of the cosmetic products you are interested in." she clears her throat in the background and continues, "I intended to call you early before now but had some issues to attend!" she concludes, like her explanation meant anything to me.

'When will you come over with your lawyers, for the documents.'

"Mr. Zack, don't you think it's better we meet first before the boarding meeting?" She asks and it irritates me.

For my company, I will just have to play along and see what she is upto.

"Text me the time and location!" I drily reply her. Seriously, I hate this idea!

"You know I need to know you and be sure about who am gonna work with!"

Holy shit! Fuck this bitch! I hate long talks!

'Okay!' I notice Simon by my side, with a tray, smiling.

What a crazy clown he is!.... What's going through his head?

Rising my brows to him, but he's still smiling. I hang up the call, even as Esther have something stupid, I guess, to say.

"What's your problem, Simon? Why the grin?' I have to ask because he looks so stupid.

"So who is she? Is that mysterious girl? Because you stayed long on call and I know it's definitely not a he!."

'That's my soon to be business partner! I want to buy her company shares!' Taking the tray from Simon.... He prepared toast and tea. 'What a nice breakfast!' I mock.

Collecting the remote for the TV downstairs. I brought it along to my room last night... "A girl slept over?" I trace his stare... Fuck! Used condoms!

'Yeah!' I chuckle, 'But I woke up in the middle of the night, only to notice, she took the little cash I left in my pant and drawer, and left the house.' Like I said earlier, I hide no shit about myself from him and he's like that too, with me.

"I wish I was born a girl, I'd stick to guys like you, because I know, I'd get all the money I want without getting to steal." Simon brows, furrows.

'Okay, now, get lost from here, before...'

Beep beep!

My message tune and I turn to my phone.... Esther has sent me the venue and time. I turn back to Simon; gosh, this boy is something else.

"I will leave now, your majesty! Simon rushes out of the room, as he watches me go for my pillow.

To walk pass the paparazzi isn't easy, even with my security guards and the cameras are blinding too.

"Mr. Zack, who is the young lady we saw you with?" One of the press asks.

"Is she your girlfriend? Are you here to meet her?" Another overtakes the first and asks from one of my security's shoulder.

Am suffocating and needs to get pass this jobless crowd.

"I can't believe I'm physically here with you. And now, fate wants us to be business partners!" Esther says, after I pecked the hand and sit.

'Just go straight to the point. I don't have all the time in the world!' She stares at me like I made the wrong statement. 'Since you still wanna delay, I will start! Tell me about your cosmetic products and suppliers of raw material I also need to know your ideas of promotion, because am not a lady to have much knowledge of it. And when do you intend to show up with your lawyer' Sipping the wine the waiter served.

"What about on Wednesday? And for other informations, I will make a hard copy and deliver it to you after the documents of partnership is signed." She answers smartly. I see disappoint written on her face but, who cares? Because, I don't!

'Okay.... It's nice meeting you! I have other matters to attend to.' I say, while waving the waiter over.

I feel uncomfortable with her! I must say she is beautiful and I bet, she used her product on her face. I love her choice of clothing; green loose shirt like a net, and a black tight skirt, bringing out her shape... She's plumby, have a black curly hair, brown eyes and a pointed nose. But I just don't just like her!

I walk into my car, and before the paparazzi with come over again, my driver starts the engine.

"Do you love her?" One pops a hand into the car.

Collins my driver, speeds up!

Why are they putting so much interest in my personal life. And how can I love someone I know nothing about?

'Take me to the office!'

"Okay!" Collins, drivers a U-turn to the other side of the road.
