Scared Of Him

Chris saw the worried expression written all over her face and he asked her, "What's the problem Jane, who was calling you?."

Jane just stared at him not knowing how to respond as she didn't want to get him involved in her personal life, beside he was only just a friend to her and she wasn't sure if she could trust him too.

She smile to him and said, "Is just an old family friend calling."

"Okay, I had thought is someone else probably disturbing you, as I heard you telling the person you wouldn't have the chance and want to spend time with your sister," Chris said

"Yeah, you're right " Jane faintly replied and it was time for their evening shoot.

"I have to go now and apply my make up, see you later," she said to Chris and went back into the building to change her dress and apply her makeup for the maid role she was to act as a handmaid to her princess whom was the main lead of of the movie.

Jane acted so well even though she wasn't happy, she put on her best act delivering her lines and speech with so much emotions like it was a real movie as she was advising her princess on not abandoning their kingdom and running away with the commoner whom had appeared out from nowhere.

She had the team and videographer crying after her last shoot.

"Wow that was so impressive Jane, you killed the scene," They clapped impressively for her as they went to shoot that scene in a remote village which they used in acting the royal movie, where she was a maid and the princess wanted to run away.

After her shoot with the team, she drove back to the company and parked and as she got into the changing room for women and stepped out to sign out, she felt that familiar intent gaze on her again.

As she turned to look back at the visitors seats. She saw the man on hat again and her blood pressure rose while her hand shook. She wondered why the security team would allow such weird looking man with hat into the entertainment building even as the entertainment building was one of the biggest in their city.

Her hand shook as she struggled to sign on the paper.

The receptionist stared at her and asked, "Any problem ma'am?" seeing she was sweating even as the air-conditioner was on.

"Humm.." Jane stared backward to look at the visitors seat again but the man was already gone.

"Looking for someone?" The receptionist asked and Jane swallowed, no she couldn't take it anymore before she runs mental, she shuttered and quickly asked in a low voice.

"Who was that man that man that sat on the visitors seat just now with hat, didn't you see someone just there right now with a hat?" she asked the receptionist as she was thru signing out.

"Ohh yes I saw him, his one of our client and works with us," The receptionist told her as she didn't even know whom the man in hat was very well, but she used to see him check in and goes up to the third floor to see their boss.

"You mean is not the boss and real owner of here?," Jane questioned her in disbelief as a man had told her he was the main boss. That means Chris was right, she thought.

"No, ma'am, his not the boss here, Mr Simon Wilfred is," The receptionist said and Jane thanked her and nodded and quickly dashed out, hurrying up to where she had parked her little car, as she had spent so much time in taking her bath and changing back into her cloth and night had fallen.

As she struggled to open her car door, just then Norman said behind her, "Hi Jane" startling her as she almost froze and fainted .

She froze and her car keys fell of from her hands as she looked so horrified.

"What's the matter?" Norman asked as he walked towards her and she moved backward and got pinned to her car.

He move closer and picked up her car keys that had fallen to the soil, dusted it and handed it back over to her

"Here's your keys, why look so horrified like you saw a ghost?" he questioned her and she swallowed as her hands shook in collecting back her car keys from him..

"Nothing, is nothing," Jane said but Norman wouldn't believe her.

"I saw you asking the receptionist about me just now as I stepped out, why so scared to see me?" He asked as he leaned forward to her.

"Tell me Jane, do you already have someone else like a boyfriend or you're married?."

"No.. " Jane quickly replied as she breathed out in relief.

"So why acting up with me?. You know I like you right," Norman said to her as he approached her by her car and Jane looked away from him as he was still wearing another hat that covers half of his face. She couldn't even see his eyes and she wondered how he sees hers and the rest.

Norman leaned very closer to her on her car and she looked away from him., "Please can I go now, I have to be home to avoid my father worrying about me.." she said to him and he continued to stare at her pretty face.

Norman heard her clearly and he knew she was scared of him. He removed a strand of her hair that had fallen to her face and Jane was surprised and turned her head to stare at him. She still couldn't see his face but his hot breathe fanned her neck and her knee began to weaken.

"Can I go now?" she manage to say startling him out of his thought.

"Yes, but I don't want you to be scared of me anymore, you seem so frightened just now and I want you to know I wouldn't hurt you," Norman told her.

"How am I supposed to believe that when I can't really see your face," Jane replied him and he placed a finger on her lip to hush her.

"I don't take of my hat, not for you not for anyone it my dress code." Then he shifted away from her and turned to leave.

"Good night Miss Kones," He said and he walked away.

Jane heave a sighed of relief. She had thought he wanted to kiss her just now. She felt he looked familiar but she couldn't pinpoint where she had seen him before and this one he was wearing hat it was difficult for her to remember where she had seen that face and that tough look. she sighed and finally turned to open back her car with the keys.

She didn't struggle again, she got into her car and drove home straight.

Mr Dot was already seated at the living room waiting for his second daughter to return. Soon he heard the sound of her car parking in the compound and he heave a sign of relief.

Jane stepped into the living room and greeted him, "Good evening father," as she heave a sigh of relief knowing she was finally home.

"Welcome back Jane, how was your day today at work?."

"Not to stressful father," Jane replied as she took the stairs going upstairs to her room.

"Did you still contact your sister to know if she will be coming back home or if she has agreed to marry Dave?," Mr Dot Kones asked as she took the stairs.

"I didn't ask her about that father, but am sure she will be home this Sunday. You know Ashley to well, am just surprised even after what we caught her doing with Dave, she bluntly refused to marry him."

Mr Dot Kones sighed. He knew his first daughter saw her mother lifeless body when she had returned back from outing with her friend and she was no longer a baby not to know what she saw as she was already 6yrs plus by then. He sighed and shook his head as that only made his daughter hated men except for him and Lexi whom she saw as her father and brother.

"Is okay, go in and come down to have dinner with me, you know I don't like eating alone" Mr Dot Kones said to Jane.

"That means you will have to go and get another wife father. What if Ashley and I get married, how will you cope?" Jane asked him as she stood upstairs staring downstairs at him, where he sat on the couch.

"I will manage or move in with your husband and you.."

"Hahahaha" Jane bursted out laughing.

"Okay father, till then." She turned and went into her room and change into a more comfortable night wear, before coming downstairs to join her father for dinner.
