Chương 4: Troublesome Little Girl!!!!
Tom couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry seeing all the food prepared by the little girl. Most of them were blanche in boiling water and sautéed even if it shouldn't be. These high premium ingredients are definitely not cheap at all and it's best when fresh, not cooked. She even cut the lettuce and sautéed it. But at least, they still look green and neatly set on the table.
That's when Sab entered the kitchen with straight face. Sab observing the man's reaction who's looking blank at the food on the table. Unconsciously, her eyes stop at his thin lips. Memories of the kiss last night appeared again.
She pinched her thigh hard, not wanting to think too much of the kiss. It's not something really special anyway. He can't blame the man to put her in test. They didn't know each other but then she insists to live with him. If not because of her situation, surely, she'll break the man's neck and runaway. But as of now, she'll stick like a glue with this man until she can live independently.
"Good morning!" she greeted in a monotone voice.
"...."
"Why are wearing still my shirt?" Tom asked, quite surprised. He asked the household maid to bring clean clothes for her but she still wearing the black t-shirt.
"Aah... I'm wearing the clothes from Auntie Myrna inside. I'm just more comfortable wearing shirt that's why. Please don't mind me today. I'll get new clothes later" she answered shyly. The one she got was a denim mini-skirt and a fitted pink crop-top with mickey mouse design. Though the clothes were just right on her petite body, how can she wear it in front of this man. It's just too much for her.
"Take that off," he said in a commanding voice. Is she stupid to appear wearing only a man's shirt? Is she trying to seduce him? She's not expecting him to fall for that right? he thought. However, looking at little girl's face, he can't see any attractions towards him. She did not blush even if he's looking straight into her eyes like any other girls. She doesn't smile as well. She's just staring at him like how she normally looks an uninteresting object.
Sab heart sank. She blinked few times to see clearly man's expression and it's not looking better. He seems very irritated seeing her with shirt-on. She hesitated but still took it off without saying anything. Her petite body reveals. Her skin was fair but not smooth specially her hands and arms with few cuts and burns sin. But her legs are fair and smooth. Her chest was just fine, not flat but not big. Her stomach was flat with few abs and her waist is small that gives a nice illusion on her curves.
Actually, she was really shocked seeing herself in the mirror a while ago. She's been very busy working to save much money to be independent and didn't get paid attention of her looks. She remembers herself being a little fleshy. But when she became an orphan, she tried to hard not be a burden, so she normally eats less and work harder than anyone else.
Tom was a little stunned, this little girl was not actually bad. Looking at her face, it's much better than last night. Her almond eyes are very expressive. She's not gorgeous and elegant but she's nice to look at. Definitely, she met and dated way prettier than this little girl, but he was still surprised. He under estimated this little girl that's why he got surprised seeing her wearing much feminine type of clothes.
He supposed to say something when his phone rang and ended it without answering. It's his mom again, she might be calling again to either nag him about yesterday or another blind date again. Since he turned 28 yrs old, his mom been setting-up with different blind dates. He can't even say anything now because her mom will never give-up. He tried to date some but then he learned that they'd been planning for wedding already, so he must end it right away. He looks at the little girl mischievously.
After breakfast Tom went to his study room and Sab returned to her room. She planned to assist the helper, but Tom told him to stay in the room. Looking at her planner, everything is now a mess. She needs to make an adjustment and think about plan A, B and C especially that her problem with Auntie Lina has been escalated.
Inside the study room, Tom called his secretary and instructed to investigate about the little girl. He also instructed him to buy women apparels from casual to formal and even lingerie's. Then he made another few calls. If his observation about the little girl is correct, everything will run as planned.
Inside the other room, Sab is also calling out to inform them she'll not be able to come to work for few days. She didn't give specific reason but most of the part-time employers are very understanding since she's normally works harder than everyone else. She never been late and almost whenever they need her, she'll always come or extend to help.
Then she called her best friend since grade school, Angel. Unlike her, Angel is much fortunate to have a very supportive parents. Though Angel rarely see her parents because both are busy working, Angel never complains and very thankful still to have them especially when she met Sab who only had her mom at that time and until she became an orphan.
"Where are you?" Angel asked as soon as the line got connected. They used to talk or message each other at least once a day but this didn't happen for almost 48 hours.
"I'm fine, no worries. I'm staying in a sauna now. But I'll look for a place later."
"Some guy called me and asking if you're with me. When I told no, he just ends the call. He did not even mention his name."
Sab was surprised. She didn't know that her Auntie and cousin will be this persistent to find her. They might have gone to her school or part-time jobs to dig info about her since they never really asked and cared about her personally so long she'll be able to give them money monthly.
"Don't block the number. In case they call again, just tell them you don't know my whereabouts." After giving some thoughts, she started explaining who the person might be and why he was looking for her. She leaves the information about Tom for her friend's protection.
Angel did not ask anymore though she can feel that something is not right as she heard her best friend's story. As long as she's fine, that's all its matter.
"If you need any money, just let me know. I can transfer it right away. You know that I am also now working right? I have my own money now. I am not just asking for my parent's support," Angel's voice was quite perked and excited. Feeling really proud in the little independence she's experiencing.
Sab chuckled.. I know I know Ms. Independent. They talk few more minutes before they bid goodbyes.
She felt tired and exhausted. She's been working since the time her mother passed away and can't really remember the last time she lay down this long. Also, the queen size bed was covered with white duvet comforter and was really soft caressing her skin. Inviting her to dreamland.
She jump-off the bed and went to the door to make sure its locked. She started removing all her clothes including bra except on her underwear when she confirmed that the door was locked, she jumped into the bed happily like a kid. She doesn't know if she can experience this kind of bed in the future, it might not be in the next 10 yrs so she'll enjoy it for now.
She happily tucked-in herself in the white duvet comforter after she scattered all the pillows with white covers around her. In few minutes, she happily went into dreamland.
Inside the study room, Tom got a report from his secretary after almost 2 hours. The most important about the report is that she's not dating anyone and never dated anyone because she's been very busy working. He also found out the gang is still looking for her though she did not make any deals with them.
He went out and knock at Sab's room. No one answered for few minutes, so he left and went downstairs. His secretary already waiting for him with pile of folders that he needs to review and sign. He also gives him the shopping bags.
The secretary scanned quickly the house as if he's looking for someone but don't want to get caught. He was instructed to investigate a woman and buy bunch of women's clothes. He knows very well his boss schedule and all his activities. If he was able to buy this house without his assistance, this only means that his boss is hiding a woman from him as well. That may be the reason why he hates all the blind dates being set-up by Madam.
Was it the girl he just investigated? He's been working with his boss for 4 yrs now and he knows exactly what kind of girl his boss type is. He met few of his girlfriends and was even asked to settle issues with them sometimes. Also, the girl he investigates has no strong background and can consider as commoner.
Though her spirit is remarkably strong and admirable, she can't be compared to socialite women boss dated who all came from great background and can also be labelled "Beautiful Woman" with smooth and delicate skin, great body and beautiful face. The little girl he investigated can be described best none other than as normal.
Tom sat down on the huge beige sofa and signal his secretary sit down as well. Tom smiled but this doesn't reach his eyes.
"Have you talk to my mom already?"
The secretary immediately sweats cold. "I didn't boss. I didn't. I really will not, and I wouldn't dare."
"I swear" he even said this in a loud voice to emphasize that he wouldn't dare to betray him. She just can't do anything once Madam insists to take over his ipad or laptop even with great resistance. But his mouth is completely sealed.
