Chapter 21
With the charisma that he was having, it was very difficult for any young lady to just see him and not fall for him automatically.
Just like the way Crystal had fallen for him at first sight without even knowing how to suppress whatever it was that was growing inside of her.
She was not even given the chance by her heart to even think or to even get to ignore him or even do her job peacefully and leave without leaving any mark.
But because she was already so lost with the fact that she was already falling for Blaze, she fell prey so easily into his trap without knowing.
After thinking deeply for some time, she went into her room and took her bath as she had to go to Blaze’s house so that she could meet him at home before he went to work.
She went into her bathroom to get her bath. While in her latrine, she could not stop thinking of the ways she was going to approach the matter when she was. finally, be in front of him.
“Calm down girl, it is just going to be something normal as usual”, she tried her best to calm down herself.
Uncle Max had already left her room heading to the office but Crystal still had an unfinished business for the day and it was time for her to trash it out once and for all.
She took her shower and rinsed her body well before leaving the bathroom and drying herself with a clean white towel.
Blaze had already left for work early that morning as he had some pertinent stuff to do in the office before his staff started to show up.
He had asked the maids to make something delicious for him for dinner.
He left for the office but with his driver taking him as he did not feel as to drive.
Crystal was all set to leave the house and go face her enemy.
She went and picked up her bag and her car keys leaving her room with a straight face.
Gina was downstairs just about to go to Crystal’s room when she saw her come down in a hurry.
” Will you not have breakfast this morning before heading out?”, Gina asked as Crystal crossed her saying good morning and rushing out of the house.
She entered her car sat in it and put on her safety belt making herself comfortable as she drove out of their compound.
Georgia’s name appeared on her phone screen as she maneuvered her car taking the road that leads to the main section.
Her day had started but she did not know how it was going to be and just when she was about to take her call, it stopped ringing.
A message came in and she saw that it was from Georgia.
“I will reply to you in a bit Georgia”, she said to herself as she kept on driving to Blaze Jadiel’s house.
Crystal drove looking out through her mirrors and seeing the beauty of the streets with its participants.
She was delighted seeing how everything was well placed in nature and her heart skipped a million times.
She drove past lots of people, and marts with several buildings, but she could still remember what Blaze’s house looked like even with her eyes closed.
” The house of that scamp could never be erased from my memory”, she murmured alone in her car.
Making her way into the street that leads to Blaze’s house, she realized that she had reached earlier as there was no traffic to stop her at that time.
slowing her car to be able to better read the house numbers, she waved her eyes on the road and the house paying attention to the cars coming behind her.
She was finally in front of his house, so she packed up her car and came down from it.
Taking a deep breath, she walked to the house and rang its bell waiting for someone to open up the gate so that she could go in and see Blaze.
It took some seconds before a dignitary opened the visitor’s side and greeted her politely.
“good morning ma’am, how may I be of help to you”, the security agent asked while looking at Crystal so strongly as though he had never seen her before.
Maybe he could have recognized her from the other time that she had slept over and getting up and finding herself in the situation that she was in, she ran out of the house with a speed that no one could understand what had happened inside the house.
Crystal was able to respond to the man standing in front of her after thinking in her heart.
” Can I meet with Mr. Blaze Jadiel if he is still inside, please? I am Ms. Crystal Melody Taylor “, she asked hoping that he was inside so that she could go meet him.
The warden told him that he had just left some minutes ago for his office and that if what she wanted to see him for was not too urgent, she could pass by some other time when he would be at home.
Crystal’s jaw dropped when she heard what the guard had said, as age thought that she was so early as to catch him at home.
However, a part of her was trying to convince her otherwise as she was asking herself questions like, is he not inside it did he give a strict order for his security officer not to let me inside his house if I ever appeared there again?
All these questions ran through her mind as she needed answers as to what was happening.
Crystal felt that since Blaze had duped her and also taken her pride, he was striving to avoid her so as not to feel bad for what he did to her.
She had other plans running through her head and Blaze’s office was the next place that she was thinking of going to.
She thanked the security agent for being polite to her, and she entered her car and drove off.
Her heart kept beating in her chest, as she was thinking about going to Blaze’s office.
Driving through the streets, she looked through her rearview mirror and saw someone sitting outside a cafe Simon she thought about parking to go say hi to him as he was alone, but again she remembered that that that would be slowing her plans to go meet Blaze.
Pulling her car over, she stepped down and crossed the road being attentive to the cars coming from different directions.
Walking towards Simon who had not seen her coming towards him, she said hello to him with a soft voice that could turn even a demon into an angel.
Simon, raising his head says Crystal standing in front of him, with her pretty smile and innocent face that could turn the strongest of hearts into soft and warm souls.
He was tongue tight not knowing if he should be happy or sad to have Crystal in front of him, but the first intuition that came into his mind was what he did.
He rose to his feet, stirring Crystal in the eyes with a deep smile he kissed her on her cheek hugging her so tight that she had to call out his name to bring him back to himself.
Realising how tight he was hugging her, he let go apologizing about that, but Crystal told him that it was okay and that she had no worries about it.
Simon being so excited, asked Crustal to sit down as he asked her what she wanted calling on the waitress to come attend to her.
Crystal smiling at his agitation, told him to calm down or else he was going to attract so many eyes on them.
” I am so sorry for my behavior, I am just very happy to have you here right in front of me after the last time we met under that unpleasant condition”, he explained taking her hands into his.
Crystal told him not to apologize for his girlfriend’s bad attitude towards her as she has been using Becky’s attitude right from the time they were still in school and she has always known how to avoid her.
Simon lowering his gaze said in a low voice that he had broken up with his girlfriend as her nagging and insecurities were driving him crazy.
Crystal who could not digest this information, burst out in laughter holding her chest.
Simon could not say why she was laughing, so he asked her why she was laughing in a tone that had slightly changed as he thought that she was laughing at him.
Crystal wiped off the tears that had formed in her eyes, pleased with him not to be mad at her but she was just laughing at how he had managed to cope with that crazy girl in his life.
Her explanation was so hilarious that Simon, could not contain the laughter that was forming in his chest and so he exploded in laughter.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Crystal surprised, asked Simon why he was now laughing more than him, and he said that God had vindicated him from the hands of that lady.
The waitress came and asked Crystal what she would like to order and Crystal replied,
“I will just have a cup of coffee with extra milk”.
The waitress noted it down in her little jotter and left immediately to get it ready.
Simon who could not stop admiring Crystal in a very obvious way, smiled from side to side making his intentions very visible to his prey.
” What are you looking at?”, Crystal asked looking at him with a funny look.
Simon coming back to earth, felt a little bit uneasy as that question was too direct for him.
Crystal putting on her innocent face and charms like she had always done with the men that she has always stolen from, told Simon not to be ashamed to ask what he had in his mind, as it was very noticeable to the sights.
