A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

FEW DAYS LATER**

#EVENING

**MARIANNA**

We are finally through with our exams and I am feeling so excited. The twenty students that won’t the scholarships will be announced tomorrow and I can’t wait to find out who the students are going to be.

I came back from school and hour ago and did the necessary things I had to do before I got dressed to go to work. Mom was taking a nap while Brianna was still at work. I left a short note on mom’s bedside table to let her know that I have gone to work so that she won’t be wondering where I went to when she wakes up.

My workplace is twenty minutes or so away from here so I chose to walk there instead of wasting money to take a bus. It would also be a sort of exercise for me. I got to work some minutes later and was sweating profusely because of the hot sun outside. I flashed a smile at Rosalind, and older lady who was sitting behind the receptionist’s desk and she smiled back at me. I went to the backroom and changed into the uniform. I folded the clothes I was putting on before and placed it in my locker alongside my handbag before walking back out to meet Rosalind.

“Hi Rosa, it’s been a while.” I hollered and she smiled.

“Marianna! I’ve missed you, why didn’t you come to work since all these days?” She asked.

“We were actually doing exams in my school and I couldn’t take the burden of studying and working so I took permission from boss not to come to work for some days.” I explained.

“Oh! You didn’t tell me tho. Work was boring without you.” She said.

“I would have told you but you didn’t come that day.” I responded.

“Ah! I can remember now, that day was my day off.” She stated.

“Oh yeah!” I said and that was how we engaged in a conversation. She asked me about my exams and my family and I was glad to tell her about everything. We talked for a long time since the boss was not around and there were no customers coming to disturb us.

Our conversation was interrupted when we heard the sound of the door opening. We looked towards the door and my jaw dropped when I saw the person at the door, like my jaw was literally on the floor. Someone I’d like to describe as Adonis himself, with jet black hair and green eyes, looking at his eyes reminded me of the forest. He looked as if he was posing for a photoshoot. His face looked as if God spent a long time sculpting his face and I felt like staring at his face all day long. Don’t let me even talk about his body. I’m sure you can tell what his body will look like with a face like that, he was on fire! I snapped out of my daze when someone shook me.

“Marianna, you have to close your mouth, you’re drooling.” Rosalind whispered and I closed my mouth before wiping the drool from my mouth and I switched to professional mode.

“Good day, how can we be of help to you?” I asked with a professional smile on my face.

“Keep the greetings to yourself. Are you blind to see that I’m holding clothes in my hands or isn’t this place a dry cleaning shop?” He snapped rudely and I was shocked for a moment. He sure is hot but he is too arrogant for my liking.

“Sure, this is a dry cleaning shop. What’s wrong with your clothes.?” I asked tried hard to keep my cool.

“I need you to clean these clothes for me. It was stained with some substance and my maids washed it with the washing machine but the stain is still there so I believe you guys can remove the stain.” He stated.

“Yes we can remove it. When will you come and get it?”

“I don’t have the time to come back for it. You’ll have to deliver it to my house.”

“But we don’t do deliveries.” I protested.

“Well, you have to make an exception for this one.” He stated.

“How much is washing the clothes gonna cost?” He asked and I collected the clothes from him before examining the stain.

“Normally, we charge five dollars for laundry but because we don’t know what kind of stain it is, the cost will be ten dollars.” I said.

“Alright, this is your money. Make sure my clothes are delivered tomorrow.” He stated rudely and gave me the money before turning towards the door.

“Come back here mister, you didn’t give me your address. How do you expect me to deliver your clothes them?” I snapped.

“Oh! So stupid of me.” He muttered under his breath but I heard him.

“Yeah, so stupid of you.” I mumbled and he glanced at me.

“What did you say?” He asked and I turned red knowing he heard what I said.

“I said so smart of you.” I replied with a false sweet smile on my face and he rolled his eyes.

“Do you have a sheet of paper I can write the address on for you?” He asked.

“No I don’t. Rosa, can you give me a sheet of paper and a pen please?” I replied him and asked Rosalind who had been quiet since the hot and rude guy arrived.

“Oh, yeah sure.” She said then tore a sheet of paper before giving it to me with a pen.

“Here, have it.” I handed over the paper and pen to him and he scribbled his address on it and returned the items. I looked at his address and nodded.

“Good, but you’ll have to pay for the transportation.” I demanded and he groaned.

“How much?” He asked impatiently.

“That will be twenty dollars.” I responded and he brought out the money.

“Take this.” He said and shoved the money in my hands roughly.

“With the amount of money you’ve collected from me, make sure my clothes are clean. If you ruin my clothes, I’ll sue you guys.” He threatened.

“Whatever, you’ll have your clothes delivered tomorrow.”

“I mean it, the clothes can buy your entire generation. Ruin it and you’ll regret it.” He warned before turning around and he walked out.

“Phew! That was one rude customer.” I exhaled immediately after he left.

“Yeah, he is cute and all but he has a very bad personality.” Rosalind who has been quiet all this while spoke up.

“That’s right. Why didn’t you talk tho?”

“I was enjoying the show you guys were putting up. It was interesting.” She said and I giggled.

“He was too rude and I couldn’t just let him trample upon me like that.”

“That’s my girl!” She squealed and we both laughed.

“I better go start washing his clothes.”

“Yeah, do that and be careful with it. He sounded serious with the threat.” Rosa stated.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll be extra careful with it.” I assured her and she nodded. I walked out of the reception and went into the laundry room to start washing his clothes.
