The Proud Boss Lady.

Chapter 16: 16

“Is he the guy you were talking about?" Jess asked Freya who dragged her out of Zed's shop.

“Yes, he's the one." She sighed.

“That means he's in love with Soraya, that terrible woman?" She asked shocked.

“All correct Ma'am." Freya chuckled.

“That son of a bitch! How can he fall for such a vile woman?" She angrily burst out

“Relax Jess, take a chill pill. Maybe he would soon realise he's being used. Let's just wait." Freya

smiled at her friend.

“Okay, if you say so." She hugged her.

“Wanna go somewhere else?" Freya asked.

“Of course, let's go." She answered as they at in Freya's car and she drove off.

“Heyya," Nichole said sitting on Jesse's laps as he played a video game.

“What's up?" Jesse asked focused on his game.

“I am bored, Nikki is gone to her boyfriend's house, Nicolette is gone out with her friends. I don't have

nowhere to go or nothing to do." She pouted whining.

“And I am playing a game," Jesse rudely stated.

“Okay, have fun." She said getting off his laps as Jesse grabbed her arm.

“Come on I was just joking." He said to her.

“Please let go of my arm." She added.

“Nichole, I was just joking with you, I'm sorry." Jesse apologized.

“Jesse...let go of me." She pulled her arm from his and stormed off to her room locking the door behind

her.

I didn't mean to upset her... Jesse thought as he said on the couch taking his game console and

continuing with his game.

Nichole was an introvert. She felt no one cared for her busy they seemed busy for her all the time. She

was there for them always, even when she was busy she wanted to find a way to make it up to them.

She felt they were just using her.

She wasn't really close to her twin sister until they got to high school. Even at that, she felt her friends

liked Nicolette more than her. She was actually cool with that until her crush Jesse fell for Nicolette.

She was heartbroken but she didn't show it, she nursed her broken heart till high school was over and

they parted ways.

She was happy when Nikki and Jesse came into her life again, but once again it seems they are too

busy for her. Soraya was and is still a bitch, but that bitch had time for her. She was always there when

she needed her.

“Nichole." Jesse knocked lightly on the door. She turned her face to the wall. She wasn't ready to see

him nor talk to him. He knocked for a while but she didn't answer so he left assuming she had fallen

asleep.

Alas! Piece and quiet. She thought to herself.

“Hey, Sis!" Nichole said walking into the kitchen.

“Hi, what's up with you? You've been asleep for five hours now." She questioned.

“I guess I was too tired then. Nikki ain't back?" She changed the topic.

“She's in her room as well." She shrugged.

“Okay, what's for dinner then?" She sipped her orange juice.

“ I was thinking we are out tonight. Go get ready," She nudged her as she hopped off the counter and

walked to her room.

People love, people, leave, people let down

People show up, roll up, people grow up

People move out, people disappear

People don't change, people rearrange

People miss the game, people lose

People try, people, lie, can't look you in the eye

People suck, people, fuck, people, leave their shit behind

People throw up on the carpet, people trip up on the stairs

People laugh, people dare, people scare, people tell you what to wear

People jump, people sink, people float, people think

People fail, people hate what they don't know

People think they're worth nothing, people think they're worth the top

People drop, people, love what they know, people think but don't stop

I keep looking in the mirror

'Til I see myself, I see myself, eh

Hey lover, will you blow my cover?

'Cause I'm not myself, I'm not myself

I wake up in the middle of the night

And I look like a stranger in the bathroom light

I, I keep looking in the mirror 'til I see myself, I see myself, eh

I keep looking in the mirror

'Til I see myself, I see myself, eh

Hey lover, will you blow my cover?

'Cause I'm not myself, I'm not myself

I wake up in the middle of the night

And I look like a stranger in the bathroom light

I, I keep looking in the mirror 'til I see myself, I see myself, eh”

Nichole sang along with Ider as she searched for an outfit to wear to dinner tonight.

“Where have you been?" Zed asked Jess as she walked in.

“Out with Freya, any problem?" She asked as Soraya strutted into the hall dressed in Zed's long-

sleeved shirt.

“Oh, hi...I am ---"

“I don't care who you are bitch." She insulted sitting on Zed's laps. Jess stood there waiting for her

brother to say something but he didn't.

She shook her head and walked off to her room disappointed.

“Who's the bitch Zed?" Soraya voiced out.

“My sister and you were mean to her. " He told.

“Well, I didn't know she was your sister. " She shrugged it off sipping her wine.

“Saying sorry to her would be nice." He suggested.

“Don't push it Zed, just don't. " She rolled her eyeballs as she got off him and walked to his room with

Zed in tow.

“Where are you off to?" He questioned her as she stepped into the shower to wash down.

“I need to get home, I've got somethings to do." She answered from the bathroom. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I thought you agreed to stay for the weekend?" He asked.

“We sometimes think things that aren't going to happen Zed, there's no way I am spending the night in

your crappy apartment while my mansion awaits me. Nope can't do." She answered.

Is this love or slavery? He wondered.
