Chapter 5 HIS PROPOSITION.

As we made our way into the bar, I could sense the shock and fear in the eyes of the supervisor, and the rest of the staff.

They were shocked to see me with the CEO of this bar.

Well, that was just the irony of life, and I just hoped that my encounter with him would mark a new starting point in my life.

"You can have your seat." He said to me with a warm smile.

Honestly, even though I was a staff member of this bar, I had never been to this side before. It was the executive suite that was specifically built for dignitaries to lodge and relax.

"Thank you, sir." I appreciated it.

"So, you were saying something, right?" He asked, and I nodded.

"Yes, sir." I responded.

"Continue..."

"So, I was just talking about my mother's chemotherapy." I said.

"Great. So, where were you coming from when we picked you up?" He asked, and my mood changed again.

I started crying, again.

"I was coming from a job interview." I said to him,

"Wow. Where is that? Did you get the job?" He asked with a broad smile.

I cleaned my tears, before I started narrating the sad story of my life, again.

"The company called me yesterday, that they had offered me a job offer, and I should be present at work today. I went there for the supposed interview, and the supposed secretary of the firm asked me to warm his bed." I explained in total disgust and anger.

At this point, I had noticed that he tried very hard to hold back his laughter.

"You should warm his bed? How?" He asked with a grin.

"The secretary wanted me to sleep with him, before he would give me the official appointment letter." I said, and his mood immediately changed.

He turned pale red in anger.

"What's the name of the supposed company?" He asked me.

"Mark's incorporation..." I muttered, and I could see the level of anger in his face. Even though he tried to suppress the anger that was boiling inside of him, it was just almost impossible to do.

He paced around the rooftop cafe, before saying a word to me.

"Give me five minutes, I'll be back." He said with some kind of smile, and exited the room, immediately.

Now, I have a lot to worry about.

Who was this man, and what was he capable of doing?

What was he up to at this moment?

I didn't know much about the CEO of this bar, but I just knew that they said that he was a very rich man. One of the richest men in the country.

Just then, a lady whom I was supposed to be the chef, came to my table.

"Good Evening, ma'am." She greeted me.

"Good evening." I responded.

"The boss asked me to take your order." She said,

I thought for a while, to know if it was wise to deny the kind gesture.

"Just a glass of orange juice and beef would do." I said with a smile.

"Alright, ma'am." She responded with a smile, and dashed off almost immediately.

Just as I was still thinking, he came back into the room with a warm smile.

"Bear with me. I had to deal with some important business." The man said.

"No issues, sir. I'm humbled by your presence." I responded, and he smiled at me.

Only the spirits could tell you what he went to do, earlier on.

"So, what do you do for a living?" He asked. "But before then, can I have the documents in your hands if you're okay with it?" He asked politely.

I smiled, and didn't even hesitate before passing the documents to him. So far, he seemed to be a good person, and I didn't have to mess this golden opportunity up.

"You have a first class degree in marketing?" He gasped in surprise.

I smiled.

"Yes, sir. I do." I responded.

"Your curriculum vitae and your documents are perfect. As for your age, you look more mature than your age, and that's so beautiful." He said, and I blushed.

"Thank you, sir." I greeted with a smile.

"Wait... Valerie White?" He asked himself. "This name rings a bell. Do you know one Mr Donald White?" He asked, and my mood soured immediately.

I didn't even know what to say at that moment.

"Yes. He's my late father." I responded, and he gasped in shock.

"What...!" He asked in surprise.

"Yes, he was my father. His death still remains a mystery to us." I sighed in sorrow.

The atmosphere of the room changed immediately when I asked that question.

Before the sudden death of my father, he was a very prominent figure in the area of business and entrepreneurship. He was a multi billionaire before he died, and it's just so terrible that we have nothing to show for it.

"Indeed, this world is a small place." He said with a puzzled expression.

Well, I wasn't surprised that he knew my father, but I was surprised how he knew that I could be related to him.

"You know my father?" I asked him.

"Of course, who doesn't know Mr White?" He asked with a grin.

I paused for a while. I didn't know anything else to say or do about the whole development.

If he knows my father, then I just hoped that he would also do something to assist me.

"Mm... He was quite popular to an extent. It's good." I muttered.

"So, you have a first class degree, right? Where do you work?" He finally asked, and I gasped.

"After the death of my father, his brother took over all his wealth, and I was forced to look for menial jobs. Currently I have no job, but I use to work in this bar till yesterday, and I hoped I wouldn't have return, if I got that job." I explained to him.

"You worked here? Don't worry, I'm going to make you the general manager of this unit." He said, and I froze in shock.

"Are you for real?" I asked in shock.

"I don't go back on my words. Meanwhile, I would help you and your sick mother on one condition...!" He finally said, and my mind flew away.

"Not again, another trap coming,is there nothing as free launch again in this world" I Amyself

Like, was he also going to ask me to warm his bed?

"What's that, sir?" I asked him in surprise.

"Marry me..." His deep voice echoed through the entire rooftop.
