Let us be friends

"order twin bucket of chicken, with Fried rice for five people, and add a pack of coke along" he knew Dandelion would need to recover sugars lost in her body, Hanging up he faced the twin "do you have a job already," he asked.

Just before they could reply, Dandelion who had recovered her hearing, listening while sleeping, half asleep actually, lifted her body, as her actions alerted her brothers each coming to lift her.

she was still weak and could feel it. Staring at her brothers before her gaze came to rest on Collins, only then did she realize why he felt familiar, Collins Carter the famous CEO of Collins records and Carter's Groups.

Her mouth widened in fear and Amazement, as they got shut quickly.

If this man ordered her death then she was dead for sure and nobody would think of looking for her corpse except her brothers of course.

"Mr Carter," she said in a not too sure tone that was asking indirectly if he was the one.

"miss Dandelion, are you okay now, how do you feel,l," he asked instead not denying his name, he loved the way it rolled on her lips, he could not wait to have her as his, now he was surely calling him Mr stranger was because she did not recognize him at first.

Dandelion on the other hand felt her heart beat fast at the mentioning of her name, her family and friends in school has always called her rose her first name but this stranger chose the name her mother alone used to call her, she missed her, and he called her lovingly, what was this she was feeling, is this right" she began to contemplate within her mind, condemning herself.

But how did he know her name the only person who knew her name in this place other than her brothers was her friend who had come to pick them up this morning, before all this occurred and her brothers, speaking of James where was he only her brothers where here.

"what of James? where is Chris" she questioned her brother, not realizing the fact that Collins was jealous she had remembered her friend instead of replying to him, he ignored her questions earlier too so it was tit for tat anyways.

"He's left"Chris replied curtly as if he was tired of his own words, Dandelion's just nodded her head knowingly.

"Mr Carter, thanks for all you have done today for me and my brothers, but I have to leave now and my name isn't Dandelion it's Joyce Smith" she didn't know if she sounded convincing but she hoped she was able to convince the man before her.

"I will still call you Dandelion it's a beautiful name just like you" he finished the last part with his voice raise high and clear, Making her understand he was aware of her facade, then he produced stuff from the table behind him and pointed it towards her.

her eyes widened at what she heard and saw in his hands, does he know who I am, so stupid now I will go back to London, she should have known he wasn't someone to mess with and he could get information about her just by a snap of his fingers.

Getting on her knees, her reactions were fast that her brothers did not see it coming quickly to stop her time, they raised her, but knowing how stubborn she could be at times when taking her decision they decided to face Collins instead as if to plead with him to help convince her to get up, she was still ill.

Collins who had never had the time to deal with a lady except for his mother, of course, saw the boys look and immediately lifted her he felt her body tremble, what exactly was she scared of he thought, as he helped her back on the bed.

Handing the wig over to her, he said"your contacts have been removed as well and now you are just the beautiful girl I have ever seen"his shamelessness kicking in., but all was done to lighten the tense feeling in the atmosphere.

She eyed him suspiciously but could not find anything, her goal here was to find a company where she could audition and achieve her goal of becoming an actress, that dream though had died down with her mother's death, but the desire in her heart continued to burn undying, so she opted to become a waiter Instead at least for a while, so she thought, but destiny had something else waiting in line for her.

"Mr Carter, I owe you one, but my brothers and I would like to leave right now and thanks for your help, if There's anything you like for me to do as compensation to repay you for this, please say it now and I will accept if I can do it," she said not promising him, if there was anything she learnt from her mother it was never to make promises since, they turn out to torment us.

Collins was surprised and not disappointed in her, he had observed her as a clean-minded person but a closed-minded one, he knew what she was doing and he liked her for it, she wasn't offering him her body even after knowing who he was.

However, the fact that Dandy was unmoved by his charms, challenged him a lot he has come to be used to ladies swarming like bees around him ready to stung him and leave him with a boil at every opportunity they were offered.

Thinking about what to ask her, what if he asked her to marry him, No that was too fast he had a future and wasn't ready to be tied down even though he was just Twenty-six and he didn't think she would accept that, how about offering her a job, since it was obvious they were runaways and he was sure his cousin would only offer her home, not a job, since he was leaving his parents home as well, Taking a decision, his subconsciousness nodded in agreement with him.

"well since you said it that way, I want you to work for me, and let's be friends" with a broad smile on his face he spoke out his minds, there's no way I'm letting you off my hook dear fish" he smirked as he thought since the brothers and sisters were too shocked and trying to digest the words they just heard that they didn't see him smirk at them.
