Chapter 57: I have expensive taste...
Inayah looked at her and sighed. ''Excuse me, I didn't want to say this but, do you know me? Why do you keep speaking to me like that?''
''Miss, I apologise on her behalf. I will personally take you to meet the CEO'' Maggi said to Inayah.
''She is so rude, Maggi. No wonder, there is a saying 'fear those who don't have parents''' Carolina said and Inayah's body turned cold.
''Apologise to me'' she said to Carolina and looked at her with coldly.
''What? Why should I apologise?'' Carolina cocked her brows arrogantly at Inayah. She hated orphans the most in her life because of her own past.
''How dare you insult my parents? Are orphans that easy to bully? Apologise to me right now, before I sue you'' Inayah screamed at her and the people around them turned.
''What is going on here?'' Mrs. Osori walked over to them.
''Madame'' Maggi and Carolina both bowed respectfully.
''I asked what is happening here? Why is the young lady angry?'' Mrs. Osori asked and turned to look at Inayah.
''Madame'', this young lady came and was asking for the young Miss'' Maggi spoke.
Mrs. Osori turned to look at Inayah and smiled. ''Really? And who might you be? Wait, you must be Inayah, right?'' she answered the question herself.
''Do you know me, aunt?'' Inayah asked.
''Oh, so, you are Inayah?'' Mrs. Osori seemed pleasantly surprised.
''Mom, Ayah. What are you doing here?'' Lilian walked to them after exiting the elevator. ''Mother, what are you doing here? Ayah, I didn't know you were coming?''
''I wanted to surprise you''
''I went to visit your grandfather and decided to pass by and see if you could eat with me''
''You still haven't apologised to me, yet?'' Inayah said to Carolina.
''Did something happen here?''
''She insulted my parents''
''What?'' Lilian and her mother both turned to look at Carolina.
''Caroline just said a few careless words. Miss, please forgive her'' Maggi said.
''She should be responsible for the words she speaks. She insulted me and said some bad things about orphans''
''Ma'am, I didn't know she was someone you knew. She came and asked of your office'' Carolina hurriedly explained, trying to justify her actions.
''And you insulted her parents?'' Mrs. Osori asked.
''You're right. My parents and grandparents are dead. They all died in one day, in an accident and I was brought up by my aunt. But, she never taught me to be rude to people just because I don't know them'' Inayah's eyes turned watery at the mention of her parents and grandparents.
''You don't need to come to work tomorrow. You just insulted my younger sister. Mother, let's go. Ayah, join us''
''Alright, but I still need to hear the apology from her'' Inayah stubbornly stood her ground. Insulting her parents and grandparents were her bottom line.
''I am sorry for insulting your parents''
''Are you sincere?''
''Yes, I am really sorry'' Carolina replied immediately.
''I forgive you'' Inayah said and turned away to Lilian, ''let's go, pretty sister''
''Let's go mom''
…..
''Is there something on my face?'' Inayah asked when she noticed how keenly Mrs. Osori was looking at her as they had their lunch.
''Mother, you're scaring her'' Lilian said to her mother.
''How could there be such coincidence this the world?''
''Why?''
''She looks and acts so much like you when you were young?''
''Right? I told you. She is just so much like me, right?''
''Don't mind me Inayah. I'm just fascinated by you that's all. You are beautiful''
''You are beautiful too, aunt. If I didn't know better, I would think you two are sisters''
''Such a sweet talker. I like you already''
…..
That Night.
Inayah's House.
''So, have you met him yet?'' Lilian asked after pulling over in front of Inayah's apartment.
''No'' Inayah shook her head.
''He called me so many times and Nick also called me''
''What did he say?''
''I didn't answer. I couldn't. I was busy with work but I know it has to do with you''
''I see. Pretty sister. Can I ask you a question?''
''Of course, ask right away''
''About Jasper. Are you and him...?''
''No. You can like him if you want, Inayah. You don't need my permission to do that. also, I won't be able to stop you from falling for him anyways. Jasper has a lot of good qualities and once he is dedicated to you, he is going to be in for life. Don't worry, I will make sure all your worries go away. Trust me''
''I trust you''
''Go in and rest. I will call you tomorrow'' Lilian touched her head gently.
''Mm, good night'' Inayah got down from the car and went inside. She placed her phone down and went in to shower.
When she returned she saw her phone vibrated and she picked it. It was a message from Jasper.
''Are you sleeping?''
Inayah smiled and picked her cardigan and ran out of the house. ''Pretty sister was right. I can't be able to stop myself''
Inayah lifted her hand to press the doorbell and it opened by itself. She smiled and went inside.
''I want ice cream'' Inayah said as soon as she went into the hall and saw Jasper standing. It was like he was waiting for her. She looked at him and turned towards the fridge and Jasper held her hand. Why are you holding my hand?''
''Too much of it is not good for your health'' Jasper said as he went to sit down.
''I know. But, I don't know why I always want ice cream in order to be able to talk to you'' Inayah said nervously.
''Have you made your decision?''
''Not yet, I need you to do something for me before I forgive you''
''What is that?''
''Dinner. I want to take you out'' Inayah sat across him.
''I have expensive taste''
''I know, that's why you are going to pay''
''Why should I pay when you're the one treating?''
''Do you want me to pay? I'm still a high school student, you know!''
''Are you not working?''
''I'm working because I need to save money for college. My aunt can take care of it, but, I don't want her to stress''
''What a good niece you are'' Jasper felt relaxed chatting with her. He leaned back and crossed his leg while looking at her.
''I spoke to Lilian''
''What did she say?''
''Secret''
''I thought I would break you people up''
''You're not that strong of a force. What we have is a bond. Sisterhood bond, it can't be broken that easily'' Inayah suddenly yawned in between her speech. ''I'm feeling sleepy''
Jasper stood up along with her. ''I will send you home''
''Mr. Miles, do you realise that your actions can be misleading?'' Inayah asked, looking into his eyes.
''What?''
''What I'm saying is this…'' Inayah stepped closer to him saying, 'you keep confusing me and I don't like it. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?''
Inayah looked at his flustered face and chuckled. She turned to go and he pulled her back and put his arm around her waist.
''Even I don't know why I'm behaving this way. All I know it that, right now, I can't see anything else but your lips''
Inayah's heartbeat suddenly increased and she blushed. She could see desire in his eyes and it somewhat frightened her. She wanted to take things slow and not rushed. Inayah pushed him on the sofa and said, ''I haven't done my homework''
Jasper chuckled as he turned to see her running out of the place. His lips curved up interestingly.
