A Little Compensation (5)

To go with the flow, he tucked the money in his shirt pocket and directed Anna, "Ok fine! Now you can order food, I am starving."

"What?!"

"What what?! You asked me out, you have to be the one buying. Don't you know the rules? I was waiting for you for one and a half hour, you must compensate for wasting my precious time."

He wanted to drag the encounter as much as he can so that he can spend more time with her.

Anna rolled her eyes, "Precious time? Really!"

"Yes, it is. You know, I have to attend an important meeting but because of your punctuality, I am still here trapped and starved. Now it is your payback time."

Jacob sulked, 'Honestly, I wasn't lying, I do have a conference call meeting with the CEO of Symonds corporation. That's also on your account, so you have to pay back double.'

Anna felt a little guilty. She did oversleep, it's really her fault anyway.

"Now order something, I am hungry!", Jacob ordered brazenly.

"Ohhh... " Anna pouted her lips and looked around to find an excuse to escape.

"What now? You again don't have money?" He asked her mockingly. Little did he know how much it was true.

Anna nodded feeling so embarrassed.

Jacob opened his eyes wide with a shock, 'Is she joking or something'

"Girl! What is wrong with you? You are an heiress, aren't you? But how come you are not even good as a civilian."

'Ahhh... so embarrassing.' Anna kept her gaze down and answered with a soft tone, "I am not used to carrying money with me all the time, I am just... not used to it..."

In Symonds Residence, she never acquired any pocket money, she can't even go for a part-time job as she was an heiress. Everything she needed can be acquired in her home, but outside the house, she had no source.

Naia and George wanted to support her but she always turned it down, they were now well acquainted with her way.

"Do you at least have a bank account?"

"I have! I just opened one in high school but I have trouble in using it, my card is not working here." Anna continued to answer him though she could have simply avoided it.

"Did you transfer your account?" Jacob peered deep into her eyes.

"Aahhh no... Should I have to?"

Jacob smiled at her puzzled expression, "It's not required if you were in travel. Since you have settled, it is better you transfer it or open a new account."

Anna flickered like she heard some Alien sign language.

Jacob grinned even more at her ignorance showing all his peerless tooth, "You really are a toddler! I can help you if you need. But before all that, do tell me from whom did you borrow this money?"

He so much doesn't want to hear Shane's name but who else would have given her other than that moron.

Anna felt assaulted by another round of embarrassment, "Hmph... I borrowed it from the guard!"

Jacob who was drinking a soft drink spat it and coughed vigorously, "Are you serious?! who would do that? You are breaking all the rules of an heiress."

Anna shrugged her shoulders apathetically, "I can't help it."

She could not withdraw the money that Shane transferred to her account, or you can even say, she doesn't know how to do it. She headed back to the car with a gloomy face and asked his guard to help her.

The guard was flustered by her quest. She covered her failure by saying that her card was blocked and she urgently needed money to settle down an issue.

Jacob staggered his head confounded, "You definitely need help in all aspect. Call me if you need any support anywhere in the future, I will hold your back. You must call me, don't do the same stupid thing again. You need to have your decorum, once lost it is lost forever."

He pushed her money back, "Here! Have your money back and give it back to the guard say that you have settled it with your new account."

He took his wallet and gave her extra bucks, "This is for your pocket money, we will fix your account in the evening and everything will be settled."

"No, I don't need it." Anna pushed the money back.

"It is only debt, you can repay me once your account is all set, so quit it." Once Anna agreed with his proposal, He once again questioned her, "Did you had your breakfast?"

She wobbled her head, "No, I am hungry!"

He sighed, "At last, Now you are being honest!"
