Interesting,I'm curious (chapter 15)

At country Y,Jennie was done with her shift for the day,she was extremely tired,it has been one week since she left her home and come to Y country,though she was new,she adapted well.She managed to get a job at a cafe, though the pay wasn't good she was desperate,but something had changed about her she was no longer that innocent and naive girl she was,she became smart and never trusted anyone.She didn't make friends even at work she hardly spoke with her co-workers,she had closed her heart and wasn't ready to let anyone in.Her apartment wasn't far from where she worked,she had decided to keep her baby it was the only thing that kept her going,though she was abandoned and alone,her child in her womb gave her a little comfort,she didn't feel so alone,she didn't want to abandon her child like she was,she wanted to love him more than anything,she was willing to do anything for her child.

It was windy and cloudy,it seemed it was going to rain soon,she walked faster but she bumped into someone,it was a little dark and she wasn't paying attention,"sorry sir" she apologized,she could tell that the man was elderly luckily he didn't fall,though he was old he was still strong."You should watch where you're going,be careful" the man said,and left but before he could take more steps he tripped and fell Jennie saw this and ran to help him up,"sir are you okay are you injured?" she asked as she supported him to stand."I think I hurt myself" "where do you stay or do you have a contact that I can call to come and pick you,if it's serious we can go to the hospital" she said worriedly.Before the man could reply it began raining,"let's go to my house before the rain gets worse" the man nodded,Jennie supported him to her house.It was a one bedroom,it wasn't large but it was neat and comfortable,she had sold all her jewellery and expensive clothes to get money to leave the country and for her house rent.She took the man and helped him sit on the couch,they were wet, Jennie prepared a warm milk and gave him."Thank you but why milk" he asked,"I don't have coffee or any drink that is warm" she replied."Don't worry I don't drink coffee I prefer this milk thanks,go and change your clothes before you catch a cold" he said concerned.Jennie was afraid to leave him in alone in her house,but the man seemed sincere and also he wore expensive suit and looked to be rich,besides he was in his late 70's if she didn't guess wrong,so he couldn't do anything to hurt her,she nodded and went to her room to change.

"Where is he?" asked a man in black suit and glasses,he was muscular,he was a security guard."I don't know he said he wanted to take a walk and we shouldn't follow him but it has been thirty minutes but we can't find him" replied another man wearing the same clothes as the first man."Where could he go if boss knows about this we are dead meat" replied the first man.The four of them including the driver were tensed and scared they couldn't find him,they kept on searching for him but still couldn't find him,they were being rained on but didn't care,infact they hated the rain because it made it hard for them to look for him."Let's call boss,if we don't and something happens to him,he will kill us ruthlessly" one of them adviced they nodded in agreement,they knew how scary their boss was.One of them made the call shaking like a leaf,Once their boss heard this he became furious,"where are you" he asked supressing his anger,the man replied,he ended the call and called someone on his phone."Daniel hack my grandfather's device" he ordered "okay "replied Danny,after sometime he replied "he isn't wearing the device","what! what's wrong with that old man hack all the CCTV in the city find where he might be at all cost and send me the location" he said and hung up.He was supposed to go in a meeting but postponed it,he went where the guards were he was furious, when they saw him they gulped and hoped to live to see another day.

"How could you let him walk alone,if something happens to him you're dead,keep on searching" he order they ran from there like they had met with the devil."Where do you think he is,why does he always do this" he complained to the man standing next to him, holding umbrella for him,the man had a cold expression,he looked at him and replied,"he is fine don't worry" he assured.The man they were looking for,he didn't know the chaos he had made,he sat comfortably on the sofa drinking milk,"so who do you want me to call to come and pick you up they must be worried" Jennie said,she was preparing dinner,the kitchen was small ,"don't worry no one is worried about me,you know when we get old you youngsters see us as nuisance"replied the man."I'm Mr Stanley nice to meet you " he introduced,Jennie smiled,"I'm Jennie"."Good now we know each other,were are no longer strangers",the man talked about himself and his family, though Jennie wasn't interested in knowing the man she had to show respect so every now and then she would ask or reply to his questions.Dinner was ready,the man didn't seem like he was ready to leave it was getting late and she wanted to rest.She decided after diner she would have to convince him to leave,she hoped the rain would stop soon.She set the table and invited the man for diner,he didn't refuse he sat next to her and Jennie served her food."mmmmh the food is delicious I didn't know you can cook so well" praised the man,she just smiled and sat down.They began talking about random stuff and their conversation was fun.

There was a notification on his phone showing where his grandfather was,he quickly left with the other man,they arrived at Jennie apartment,before he could break the door forcefully,he heard his grandfather laughing happily,he was suprised here he thought he was in danger but it seemed he was having fun,he knocked lightly on the door.A beautiful woman opened the door for him,he was shocked to see she was the one chatting with his grandfather,he expected some old friend of his grandfather to be the one he was chatting with."Sir how can I help you" asked Jennie,he looked at her and smiled "I came for him" he said pointing at the old man,"Oooh come in" Jennie moved aside and allowed him to get in.He checked his sorroundings and looked at his grandfather,he had already heard his voice but he acted like he didn't care he kept on eating his food."Please sit" Jennie said,the man sat opposite to his grandfather." I'm Lucas this is my grandfather" he introduced."I'm Jennie" she replied back."How did you find me" asked Mr Stanley annoyed,"did you think you could hide from me" replied Lucas,he looked at Lucas with resentment,Jennie offered him food but he refused."once you finish you're food were leaving" he told his grandfather,he just nooded his head.

Lucas watched as his grandfather and Jennie chatted,they chatted as they ate,it's like they didn't even know he was there,they were on their own world,they seemed to enjoy each others company,his grandfather hardly laughed especially not with strangers,he is always cold and unfriendly,they seemed to share same interests,he was happy to see his grandfather happy, though they had become friends,she talked little about herself,the man didn't force him,they were done eating and they were ready to leave."You told me you worked at a cafe right?" he asked,Jennie nodded her head,the man turned and looked at Lucas,"I want her to work at the company,she seems educated and experienced,it will be a waste of her talent if she worked at a cafe"he ordered his grandson,Lucas could never say no to his grandfather's request,"sure" he said and gave her his business card."Can you do secretarial work?" he asked,she nooded her head."Send your resume then,to this email" she nooded ,"thank you for today,I'll always come to visit you and if he bullies you,just tell me I'll teach him a lesson" the old man said and both left.Jennie looked at the business card,she couldn't help but smile for once in her life she has gotten lucky,if she worked at that big company she will be able to support and raise her child well.She rubbed her baby bump "baby everything will be fine,I'll give you all the best there is in this world and make those who hurt us pay,be good and grow well" she didn't care if she had gotten the job through a back door,she needed the money.

Lucas got into the car with his grandfather,his grandfather kept on praising Jennie that he became curious about her,the way she talked and laughed was interesting,she even managed to make his grandfather happy,who was she,he kept on wondering,she seemed not to want people to know more about her,but there was something pulling him towards her,he wanted to know everything about her,she was interesting and he was curious about her,he was attracted more than he was ever,he wanted to uncover all the secrets she was hiding and he planned to do that when he come to work at the company.
