"Marry our son" she said looking at me straight in the eyes. Say what now?! Marry their son? "I can't" I said. "Why?, Is the money not enough?" Nora asked, I looked at her like she's lost her mind, she's a woman, how can she ask me something like that. "Don't worry about the money, if it's not enough, we can add more later" Mr knights said. What is wrong with rich people..... throwing money about, thinking everything is about money. Don't they know that there are some certain things that money can't buy?, Money can't buy happiness, they should look for something better to use their money for. "It's not about the money, I just can't do it. sir, if you want your son to get married, sit him down and tell him he's old enough to settle down, you can't choose a wife for your son or hire one for him" I told them.
Debby's POV
I stood outside this tall building or should I say mansion. I can't believe this building belongs to one family.
I was passing by this street last week, when I saw a sign post 'House cook wanted'. So I decided to give it a try.
So here I am standing outside the gate, I stood not knowing what to do. I was very bold coming here, but now I'm scared.
I don't know if I'm qualified to be a cook here. I turned back, deciding to go back home and search for job elsewhere, but my luck ran out.
The gate opened and a security man came out.
"Hey, young lady" He called out for me.
I turned back and flashed him a weak smile.
"Good afternoon sir" I greet him.
He didn't bother replying my greeting, he just stared at me from head to toe and shake his head.
"What are you doing here? Are you looking for someone?" He asked me.
"I came for the house cook sign put out here" I replied him.
He looked at from head to toe again and laughed sarcastically, then shook his head.
He gave me a disgusting look, like I'm some piece of shit.
"What gave you the boldness to come here for a job? Do you think you are qualified to get a job here?" He asked me with a clenched jaw.
I scoffed mentally at his choice of words.
Look who's talking, he's behaving like he owns this mansion. He's just a security man, for heaven's sake and he's looking down on me.
Ah! Pot calling kettle black, I sassily mock him mentally.
" I don't think I need some kind of certificate or qualifications to get a job as a cook" I told him boldly.
I'm poor, I get but that. But it doesn't mean he can rub it in my face and make me feel bad about myself. You can call me a spitfire but I don't care.
"Oh you don't know? The knights are very sensitive with their food, so don't think you can meet up to their standards. Young lady you better go back home or search elsewhere for a job" He said, turned to leave.
Oh no, you can't just insults me and leave you jerk.
"I won't go nowhere, I was thinking of going elsewhere but for rudeness, I must get this job" I retorted harshly at him, with determination in my voice.
He turns back to me abruptly and glared harshly at me.....I guess he didn't like what I just said.
Well, you can't blame me, he started it.
"Leave" he snapped at me.
"No" I replied equally stubborn.
"I said Leave" he said through gritt teeth.
"No"
"Leave" he's getting angry but I don't care, who is he to insult me.
"No, I won't leave" I told him, I crossed my hands over my chest, waiting for what he's gonna do.
He can't just talked to me the way he wants, and expect me to be ok with it... I won't allow it.
Seeing I'm not ready to listen to him, He ran towards me and pushed me hard, I fell flat on my butt.
I hissed in pain when I tried getting up.
That bastard! How dare he push me?! Don't he have respect for women?!
"I said Leave" he said with anger dripping from his words.
But I don't care, I'm angry too....he insulted me!
I get up, hissing when the pain from my butt strikes.
Before I could open my mouth and give him a piece of my mind, a black SUV drove to the gate and stopped waiting for the security man to open the gate.
I was hoping the security man would be the one opening the gate, but unfortunately it opened on it's own.
Instead of the SUV to drive in, the driver's door open and a man in a well tailored suit came out of the SUV. He seems to be in his sixties, but he's very handsome for his age.
Also, he seems to be a rich man...no, a billionaire and I guess he owns this mansion.
He walked towards us and smiled at me, I don't know what to do so I smiled back at him nervously.
I mean, what would do if a billionaire is standing in front of you and smiling at you?
Kill me now.
"Good afternoon sir, welcome sure" the security man rushed out greeting the man.
I almost laugh out loud because of his pretence of been a good man, a while ago he was being a demon.
"Good afternoon James" He replied the security man,
The rich man turned to me and said.
"Young lady, how can we help you" he said surprisingly soft.
I smiled and stretched my hand for a handshake, I thought he wouldn't accept my hand but to my greatest surprise he did.
"Good afternoon sir, my name is Debby, I came here for the house cook vacancy" I said and withdrew my hand from the handshake.
He looked at me, then nod his head thoughtfully. He faced the security and glared at him.
"Then what was she doing on the ground" he fired at James.
James cleared his throat, scratching the back of his neck nervously, shifting from one leg to another.
"Sir......sh.......she,...... I...." He trail off, not knowing what to say. He looked at me as if asking for my help.
A sadistic smirk tugged on my lips, so now he wants my help. A while ago he was staring at me like a dirty rag.
"Sir" I called gain his attention. The rich man turned to me and his stern look disappeared, replaced with a beaming smile.
"Sir, I fell on my own, he wanted to help me up" I lied smoothly, James was rude to me but I can't bear to land him in trouble.
The rich man kept quiet for some seconds, looking between James and I.
"Come inside with me dear, we have something to discuss" the rich man said to me guiding me inside the compound.
"Oh, and James, park the car inside" he said.
I, on the other hand just followed him inside like a lost puppy, I don't know what he wants to discuss with me.
I don't even know if he's a good man or not, I just followed him inside.
