Chapter Twenty Four .. drowned in alcohol

"Exactly sir !

I know you can fire me and that's why I'm even standing here .You can fire me sir but I won't let you go and drown yourself in alcohol because of Meredith !

You should think of ways to make Eloise yours and not drink because of Meredith's dirty antics !"Renata showed her concern despite the fact that she could be fired .

"Renata ,get back to your job and leave me alone !"Jakes still left despite Renata's efforts to make him stay.

"Oh God ! What do I do now ? This is what you get Renata if you still decide to become a intermediator for two stubborn people's relationship!

Argh !! They are so stubborn ...!" Renata grabbed her bag and car keys from her desk and followed Jakes .

She arrived in front of Chest Club of Santa Monica where Jakes' Pagani Huayra was parked .

"I was right ,he has come here only to drown himself in alcohol .I will call Eloise up right away. ." Renata picked her cellphone up to call Eloise .

Eloise was having a good time chitchatting with Joan .She had become her neighbor in the next apartment right after theirs so most at times ,she comes there to chat with her . "Eloise ,you mean to say you are with no man as for now ,I don't believe that !

There's surely a man for sure ..! "Joan envisaged her suspicion while she drank her tea ."Hmm ! Joan , there's no man and ..." Eloise's phone rang ."Excuse me Joan ,I need to answer this call .

"Renata ...!" Eloise didn't even continue with her sentence as Renata wasn't giving her a chance to even speak ."Look Eloise ,if you don't come here right now to Chest Club of Santa Monica then tomorrow's news dailies will read " Business magnate,Jakes Riddles is dead ..!"

Renata almost pranked Eloise on the phone ."What are you saying Renata ? Speak clearly and let me understand ..!" Eloise said over the phone from the other end ."Jakes is in Chest Club of Santa Monica drowning himself in alcohol .

Don't tell me you don't care because you'd care after he dies .

Look I know him very well ,if he drinks too much then he can destroy everything around him including himself!Think about this ,his health is also at stake here.

I've tried stopping him but he says that if I keep on pestering him ,I will lose my job !" Renata had to lie about pestering Jakes to get Eloise's attention .

"Renata ,if this is one of your games then sorry ,I ain't falling for it .I'm hanging up now ,sleep tight !" Renata shouted over at the other end .

"No , no ,no !!!

Don't hang up now !

I'm not joking here .

If you don't believe me then I'm switching the voice call to a video call so that you can see for yourself what's really going on here !" Renata switched the voice call to video call and Eloise watched everything that was going on there at Chest Club of Santa Monica. "You see ,why would I lie about this ? It's even drizzling and I'm in it and yet still ,you still think I'm playing a game with you , huh ?

Look Eloise ,I'm almost shivering because of the cold weather .I tried my best to stop Jakes but he wouldn't listen to me. I thought of calling you to help since he will surely listen to you but you are also not taking me seriously .

I'm going home ,as to whether Jakes dies or not ,I don't care !

I tried my best to help him out ...!" Renata hanged up the call and got back into her car ."Wait Renata ,wait ...Oh my goodness ! she hanged up !

This means that she's serious about this !

Even if I hate Jakes ,I can't let him die or even let something happen to him .

Jakes will have to live so that he can witness my intense hatred for him .

Yes Eloise ,you have to save him for your own benefit .

He will surely die but by your hatred and not alcohol !" Eloise found a reason she should save Jakes ."I know you will surely come Eloise ,tonight is the night to finally make up and patch your differences with Jakes .

You both need tonight ...!"Renata sat in her car and waited for Eloise's arrival ."Joan ,I have to go !Jakes is in a mess ....!"Eloise explained to Joan ."What ? Boss in a mess ? Anyways ,I will have to let her go .They need some time together ,this way the boss will even pay me well ..hehe! "Joan thought .

"Joan ,what are you thinking about ? I need you to go with me ,I can't handle him alone !" Eloise cried out for heaven's sake ."What ! I can't go with Eloise .The boss needs some quality time alone with her .

This should be a romantic night and if I go with her ,the boss will surely kill me for destroying their night .Yes Joan ,think of something .."Joan thought hard ."Joannnn ! Are you coming or not because we are running late ."Eloise cried out . "Erm ! Eloise ,you know that I can't come along .I told you about my night shift at the supermarket , remember ? If I come along then ,you know how it will all end .I will surely lose my job !"Joan said with a baby face ."Oh goodness ! I even forgot ,alright ,you go to the supermarket and I will go and take care of Jakes ." Eloise used the elevator and descended downstairs as Joan followed immediately . "Eloise ,you need not take your car along .Call a cab instead ,this way you won't have double cars at the club .

If you send your car ,who will take your boss' car home?

Remember ,you said he's drank and you don't know his driver's number too .

Listen to me and take a cab .I will call a cab for you immediately ." Joan managed to convince Eloise and she took a cab instead and left for Santa Monica immediately . "Yes ! Perfect planning Joan .If the boss hears about my good work ,he will surely double my bonus for sure .

It's raining and Eloise and the boss will have to use one car to get home but what if the road from Santa Monica to Beverly Hills is blocked ,how will they come home ?

They will have no choice but to stay together ...!"
