I AM CONFUSED

Jessy returned with the drink in the waiter, "Here you go Ma'am," giving her the glass and placing the bottle in Mr. Larson's hand, "Now tell me, how can I help?"

Being curious and concerned Mr Larson asked getting straight to the point, "Miss Albert, the men said you have not visited the site for a few days now."

Smiling sweetly Jessy responded, "That is true Sir, but is there a problem?"

 Brent observed how calm she was as though nothing had happened, 'so why were they so scared and worried at the office?

'Now I know Miss John is a bit controlling and from my many observations she had set her eyes on my son, so I expect her to try everything possible to deter anyone from getting close to him. 

'But Miss James is a completely different person, she is trustworthy, and her concern was a bit worrying, that is why I came here but this young lady seemed unaffected by what was happening at the office.'

Without revealing what he had learned, "My dear, I was wondering if something had happened at the office?"

"No, Sir, I was busy attending to other matters concerning the Homeless Home." 

Jessy noticed how they both looked confused and asked, "Sir, Ma'am has something happened, is that why you are here?"

Brent shifted his gaze around the apartment before he responded, " Hearing the report from the men, we became concerned and were wondering if your absence has anything to do with the project?"

Brent was taken aback when she softly chuckled as though they were discussing two different matters, "Yes, Sir! All my time is spent in completing the project. Today I had to attend to an emergency and when I returned I was overly fatigued, due to my tiredness I had this mishap but never mind I had gotten some rest so all should be well." 

Jessy didn't miss seeing the furrow in his brow knowing her words didn't convince him, Silently taking a few deep breaths, no fear, no doubt she waited quietly for his next question to come, "Miss Albert, did you speak to Junior about the project recently and the decisions you are making?" 

Seeing her bend her head, rubbing the spot she said, "I am sorry Sir, I haven't spoken to him but Sir, he has been very busy from what I heard. I even overheard that there were a few new contracts so I didn't want to disturb him with these minor matters, so I went and attended to it personally."

Observing the way, he was looking at Mrs Larson then at me, "Sir, please rest assured, I will never do anything to jeopardize the company or your name, I promise you, but Boss was very busy and we haven't spoken in almost a month, has something happened that I am unaware of?" 

"Miss Albert, we were at the construction site and the men said you wanted the project to be completed by the end of this week?" 

Hoping with all her heart that there would be no hold up with her plan, "Yes Sir, but is there a problem?"

"My dear, if you are not there the work will be held back," Brent said thinking she won't quit her job seeing that the work is almost complete.

 Confused for a moment Jessy enquired, "I don't quite understand what you are saying, as far as I know, everything is going as scheduled."

"My dearest," noticing how she rubbed her head and the plaster was slipping out. Her face was a bit pale, and some blood was seeping out.

Florence studied her behaviour and wondered why she was nervous. reaching out her hand and touching Jessy's hand, when she looked at her. "Yes, Ma'am, is something bothering you?" Jessy knew this woman disliked her with a passion.

"Will you be alright?" Shocked by her words, she would have never imagined that question in a million years, but her words were sincere as I looked into her eyes.

"I am fine Ma'am, but I am confused."

"No need to be, we went and signed for the material they needed, what I was trying to say was, if you are not at the site then the work is going to be held back because the men cannot sign for the materials, Junior wanted you to do that."

"I am sorry Sir, for putting you out of the way."
