Chapter 4 They are yet to date, ma’am
Janelle’s Pov
I turned around to see a familiar figure.
He looked at Josh smugly before turning to look at me.
I scoffed loudly then folded my arms.
This couldn’t be..
I’m I dreaming?…
How can a random guy just come and stir up a fight?.
His gazed softened and I was just glaring hard at him.
I don’t know why but he looked kinda familiar.
“Do you know this animal, Josh?.”I asked.
The guy’s eyes dropped and he balled his hand.
“I have no idea. I was thinking you know him.”Josh replied as he turned to me.
Then, he turned to the guy.
“Sorry?, what did you think you just did?.”he demanded angrily.
“Why not go ask your MaMa about that, motherfucker!.”the guy yelled.
“Mention my mother’s name again and watch me rip your throat apart.”Josh spat angrily.
I just stared between both guys while still in awe.
Woah. I think this guy is the perfect example for a psychopath.
“And touch my property again and watch your life rip into pieces just like you’ve watched your phone did!.”the other guy threatened.
“Your property?..”Josh scoffed.
It was pretty obvious that he was trying to curb his anger.
“Well, then. where’s your property?.”he asked.
“I know mens like him, Josh. Just leave him be and let’s go. You can tell right from his behavior that he’s a psychopath.”I stepped in.
The guy’s face hardened and he breathed out.
“Seriously, Janelle. This is shit!. How can he just come and nab my phone from you without even knowing us and he wasn’t even feeling remorse.”
“Like I said earlier, you’ve just watched your phone getting destroyed, if you don’t back off from her, trust me, your whole world will crumble down at my feet.”
With that said, he walked away leaving Josh and I in total shock.
Who’s this guy really!.
George’s POV.
Seeing her with another man makes me burn in rage…
Hearing her call me a *animal sure broke my heart.
“Well.. that isn’t the exact way to treat a woman you like..”Ren drawled out as he glanced at me through the rearview mirror.
I glared at him and he swallowed hard.
“Uhm.. I guess that happened because you’re new to this, right?.”he smiled nervously.
“Keep track of her movement from now on. Assign a man you can trust from the guards to follow her around..”was the only thing I could say.
I looked out and saw her moving inside the guy’s car.
I balled my hand in a fist then shut my eyes.
“Take me back to the bar.”
I need to get wasted.

Janelle’s POV
“Infact, you shouldn’t take a cab anymore. Who knows what this guy can do next.. I’ll drop you off at your house and no turning down.”Josh said.
Well, he made a point.
Who knows what he might do next.
“Okay, then.”I nodded.
We both walked to his car and got in.
He inserted the key inside the ignition hole and zoomed off.
He then turned on a music so the atmosphere in the car wouldn’t be awkward and silent.

George’s mom.
“Oh my God. What’s wrong with you?.”I asked George as his driver walked him inside the living room.
He laughed and scratched his head then staggered backwards.
Geez…
“Did he drink?.”I asked his driver.
“Yes, ma’am.”he replied.
“What?, I mean, why?.”
“He caught miss Janelle with another man, ma’am. And, he was quite affected with the sight that he drank himself to stupor.”
I scoffed and dropped the glass of wine that’s In my hand on the centre table.
I walked to George and raised his head up.
“So, what your trying to tell me is that, he got wasted because of that girl?.”I asked again.
“Exactly, ma’am.”
This is the first time he will get drunk and what?, it was because of a girl.
I sighed softly and touched his forehead.
“They’re yet to get married and he’s already behaving this way.”I rolled my eyes.
“They’re yet to date, ma’am. They have to date before they get married and the girl doesn’t even recognize him as..”
“Oh, please shut up and take him up to his room.”
I turned to him and scolded.
He folded his lips and bowed.
“Okay, ma’am.”and he left.
Janelle Pov
# The next morning….
I woke up to the blaring of my alarm and I groaned.
Geez…
Is it morning again?.
Ugh!.
I reached out to stop the alarm and then sat up.
Gosh.
I yawned hungrily before getting out of the bed.
I walked to the bathroom and went to brush my teeth.
After I was done brushing, I moved out of my room and went to the kitchen.
A delicious aroma hit my nose and I smiled.
“How was your date yesterday night?.”mom asked from behind.
I turned to her then paused.
Do I say good?…
What?, was it good?.
With the psycho guy and all?..
“Well, cool..”I replied then turned back.
“I’m glad to hear that.”mom said as she moved in front of me.
I simply nod my head.
I grab a plate from the rack and went to the pot.
“Mhhhh…”I moaned out as I inhaled the delicious aroma that gushed out from the pot as I opened it.
“I prepared your favorite, do you like it?.”mom asked me.
I turned to her and smiled.
“Are you kidding?.. I love it!.”
Mom nodded with a smile and I turned away from her.
I took the spoon and dished out my food in the plate.
“Ahh.. I can’t just get enough of deep – dish pizza. Thanks momma. Ya the best!.”I winked at her as I moved out of the kitchen with my plate.
I went to the dinning table and placed my plate on the table then drew out a chair then sat down.
I clapped my hands happily then took a handful of the pizza inside my mouth.
Hmm mmmh..
Oh, God.
This is so good…
Yum!.
I took another handful and drop it inside my mouth.
“We sold well at the convenience store yesterday so I decided to treat you to a nice meal today.. is the food good by the way?.”mom asked while dusting the couch.
“Is there any food you’ve made that isn’t good?.”I asked her amidst munching.
“Yeah, right?.”mom smiled nervously.
“I was beginning to wonder about the reason why you would prepare my favorite but you came at the right time to clear my thoughts.”I smiled.
Ohh…
This is so delicious….
The more I keep eating, the more I keep yearning for more.
“Uhm!.”mo cleared her throat, probably to gain back my attention.
I took my eyes to her and she itched the back of her neck.
“So, I…. can you come over to the convenience store tonight?, after you’re done at the office?.”she asked.
“Okay.”I nodded my head obediently.
“Alright..”mom smiled then turned back to her chores.

“Was it good?, your date with the guy?..”Diana sneaked inside my office and asked as quietly as she could.
I jerked back and breathed out when I saw it was her.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Did I scare you?.., I didn’t mean to?..”she said quietly again.
“Gosh, Diana. We have so much to do in this week, you shouldn’t be sneaking around like this and, I heard you were given Mr James case.”I expounded as I swirled around on my chair.
“Oh, please. Save me that, Janelle. I want the full gist about yesterday..”she rolled her eyes..
I dropped the files I was going through on the table then paused.
“You really wanna know?.”I asked her.
I watched as her eyes shone bright from curiosity.
“Yes, I wanna know.”she replied.
“Go get Mr James down first.”I replied then grab the file that I dropped on the table back.
“What?, you little…”she tried to say but stopped.
“Bitch.”I completed her statement.
“Ugh.. I’m coming back for..”she haven’t finished her sentence when we heard the chief calling out to her.
“See?.., you’re busted!.”I smiled.
She huffed and stomped out of my office.

Diana walked inside my office and scoffed.
“You going for lunch or not?.”she asked.
I tilt my head then replied her,”yeah.”
“Well, let’s go.”she rolled her eyes.
“Let’s go?, I won’t be having lunch with you. I already promised Josh a lunch today.”I informed as I stood up.
“Wait, really?. Awnnn…”Diana cupped her cheeks in both her palms and I gave her a weird glance.
“Bye then.”I said and moved out of the office.
“Yeah, bye. Go catch some fun with your man, girl..”she said after me and I scoffed but then smiled.
I walked out of the building and started walking on the streets.
The place isn’t that far from here so I will just trek down there.
I have no reason to waste my money on taking a cab.
It’s just a twenty minutes walk and I still have one hour for break.
After walking for some minutes, i began feeling strange about a particular guy that kept following me.
I turned into a sharp corner and after some minutes, I glanced back to see that the guy also have turned.
Okay?..
What the heck?!.
I started walking faster while glancing at him at every intervals.
And then, without thinking twice, I took to my heels, running down the street.
