Jason looked out of the window after his personal assistant informed him about his father's persistence of him getting married to a girl he haven't even met before.
He felt a splitting headache, subconsciously, his hand reached up to massage his head.
He locked at the wristwatch on his wrist, it was already closing time,but he still had a lot of documents to go through , so he decided to finish before going home. He had just returned back to work when someone barged into the office. He looked up with a frown but his face quickly softened up when he saw that it was Melinda, his girlfriend. She was a very pretty girl with a good figure, she always had a smile to offer whenever she was around him. He noticed she was holding a familiar Lunchbox.
"Hey handsome!!. She called out playfully.
He smiled a bit.
" Hey...., I wasn't expecting you". His words were always brief but she had come to know that that was just him being him.
" Yeah, I know, and i also know that a certain workaholic would still be in his office working without pausing to have dinner".The smile lingered on.
"Really? He asked trying to sound playful as well, though he failed miserably, she didn't seem to mind. She served out the food without waiting for him to ask her.
"Here, eat something". She said with concern.
"Hmm" he closed the file he had been working on.
She sat down quietly by his side as he elegantly ate the food. When he was done, she cleared the plates. He smiled a bit at her before saying,
"Thank you,Mel". She returned his smile happily. Such little gesture from him meant a lot to her, he rarely smiled so, she was always very happy when he smiled especially because of her.
He looked at her feeling quite guilty. Here was a girl who loved him, on the other hand was his father who was trying to persuade him to marry another, someone he hadn't even met before. He didn't really believed in love, he was okay as long as Melinda thought she loved him and was ready to be with him, but he had never truly loved her even though they had dated for over three years. How would be expected to treat some woman he hadn't even met? Maybe he would just tell his father that he had already proposed to Melinda, maybe he would be satisfied with her, afterall she was a very beautiful and kind woman, he should feel happy seeing him settling down.
He looked up at the woman staring at him, for a second he was dazed. He shook his head as he saw the need to remove such thought from his head. Love didn't really exist.
He stood up, pulling her softly to her feet, he said, "let's go home". He quickly arranged the files before they went out.
The driver who was waiting outside for him quickly came down when he saw them approach the car. He bowed slightly at them before opening the car for his boss's woman while the man got in without waiting for thedriver to do the same.
The driver drove them to a quiet yet large villa almost at the outskirt of the city. Once again, the driver came down to open the door for the master's future wife.
Jason came out from the car the same time she did, together they went into the villa holding hands.
The place was as quiet in the inside as it was outside, not a single soul waited for them inside, it was just the both of them.
He walked straight to the bedroom upstairs as she bent down to remove her shoes as her feet felt sore. Then she went up.
When she got to the room, Jason had removed his clothes, he had a towel on his waist, while his broad chest laid in display, he was talking to someone on the phone. Melinda stared at him quietly, her eyes glued to his bare chest, she didn't even notice when he hung up.
" I'll go freshen up" he said looking at the woman who was almost drooling over him.
She nodded feeling quite embarrassed for getting caught while staring hungrily at him.
She walked around the room taking in every detail while waiting for him, she noticed that he was typing quickly on his phone, how busy could he be?, she soon became bored because there was nothing new or unusual in the bedroom, she turned to the bathroom, it looked like he was on a call this time around, she laid down on the bed with a sigh.
Jason finally came out after staying more than half an hour in the bathroom , he wore his usual black robe, his clothes were mostly black, most of the things on the house was also black or grey in colour, Melinda didn't seem to mind though, she just let him do as he pleased.
He looked down at the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed, she must have fallen asleep while waiting for him, he sighed before walking to the study which was the room next to the bedroom.
