  • Taken from my boss
  • Author :
  • Chapter 8
  • Alexander
  • I'm sitting across from this girl and what I think about is the slap she dared to give me, I'm boiling inside but right now I need her help our problems are on will fix them later, and she really loses nothing by waiting
  • William speaking to Alex: but says something
  • Alex coming to: by the way I'm a little surprised by the offer you made me, I can't believe I'm a little lost
  • Me talking to her: it's simple do you want to be my wife or not?
  • William: no, but calm down a bit, it's normal that she's in shock, especially since you have no relationship other than work, you should explain to her a little why this turnaround
  • Me: I know you like me so why are you trying to make yourself want? last time you were kissing me like a savage now i'm giving you the chance to have me all to yourself so grab the chance
  • William in a harsh tone: Alexander
  • Alex: No let it out, spit out all your venom since that's all you have to offer a woman, other than that anger and contempt what more do you have to offer? let me tell you i'm not the cause of your ailments i didn't know you i just came here to look for work and to be able to live decently i've never done anything wrong to you but since my getting here you just beat me over and over again what's your problem exactly what's your problem in the end?
  • William: please calm down
  • Alex: don't ask me to calm down since you're just as complicit in his actions, you watched him do it without saying a word, of course he's the great Alexender you always have to agree with everything he says let me tell you i'm sick of it
  • She turns to me before continuing: and FYI you're the savage who jumped on me that night like a bloodthirsty beast have you already forgotten? or alcohol made you lose your memory?
  • Me in a very stern tone: I won't allow you
  • Alex cutting me off: what won't you let me? Mr doesn't like being contradicted, does he? and well let me tell you that the savage here is you, come back down to earth a bit and stop taking yourself for the navel of the world, men like you are right in town, and I will never have you notice if you didn't kiss me, let me tell you that you're not my type, I don't do wildness the only animals I like are cats, animals like you I like don't want and for your information NO I don't want to be the wife of someone like you
  • She gets up and takes the wrist of the door, I stop her and the first idea that comes into my head is to kiss her so that she changes her mind and like magic her walk, the girl who was telling me a few minutes ago that i'm not his type is responding to my kiss like his life depended on it
  • Me ending the kiss: Am I still not your type?
  • Alex: …
  • William turning to me: stop with that, Alex take a seat please
  • He pauses for the time she decides to sit down again before resuming.
  • William: You are absolutely right about what you just said, and I sincerely want to apologize for that, during your interview I explained to you why you had such a big salary and I remember having you said that the one you will have to work for was quite special, Alexender is like a brother to me, what you have seen of him so far I can assure you that he is not the real Alexender, my friend c he is a very thoughtful, human and humble person, the events of life have transformed him into this man you have in front of you today
  • Alex I can assure you that even if he is not in love with you he really likes you and I would never have agreed with him to make you this proposal if I were not sure that he might fall in love with you
  • Alex turning to me: Why do you have to speak for him?
  • Me crossing my arms over my chest: what do you want to know?
  • Alex: I have a few questions for you and I ask that you be completely honest with me if not I'll take the door and you can go find someone else
  • Me: ok go ahead
  • Alex: why did you kiss me?
  • Why is she asking me this question? she doesn't expect me to see her made me feel peaceful and safe like when i was in the same room with my late wife i will never tell her the truth
  • Me a little surprised: this is a truck that I wanted to do when I saw you
  • Alex: why did you run away from the office after what happened last time?
  • Me: I didn't run away I had personal issues I needed to deal with
  • Alex: do you like me?
  • Me: you are a beautiful girl, any man would like to have you
  • Alex raising his voice: do you like me?
  • Me: I'm not sure all I can say is that you're very attractive to me
  • Alex: why do you want me to be your wife?
  • Me running my hand through my hair: I want to find a mother for my daughter
  • Alex: why me?
  • Me: I chose you because you were always good with my daughter and you were always very sweet with her, I didn't have anyone around either so I chose you
  • William: Alexander
  • Alex: no that's all I wanted, her honesty
  • Me asking him the question that burns my lips: so what is your answer to our proposal?
  • Alex: I accept
  • William surprised: sorry?
  • Alex: I accept your proposal
  • William approaching her with a contract: here is the contract I had made for you, it states that you will stay married until Julia is 18, after that you can decide to divorce or stay married , if one of you decides to ask for a divorce, she will have to pay the other damages amounting to 5 million euros, each month you will be paid compensation of 10,000 Euros, and each year you you can go on vacation to any country you want, for each year you spend with Alexander you will get compensation of 100,000 dollars, your dressing room will be changed every year of your wedding at Alexander's expense and in return you take care of Julia as if she were your daughter, you will have to be there for her when she needs you
  • Alex: okay
  • I knew she couldn't resist jumping on such a proposition, everyone has a price
  • Alex
  • Me, I don't give a damn about all the money he can offer me, I don't give a damn, the most important thing is to be able to marry the man I'm in love with, wake up every day in his arms, make love with him and live for them, the mere thought of this life as a couple to come fills my heart with joy
  • Alexender handing me a box: here it's your engagement ring you can mother
  • Me smiling: it doesn't happen like that at home, I live with my mother who is an African, and at home you have to come and ask for the hand of the girl at her parents' and it happens in two stages
  • Alexander: which ones
  • Me: first of all you go to take the first step, then the dowry it's after that that you can offer me the ring
  • William: What is the first step and the dowry?
  • I explain to them what to do in detail, they follow me very attentively and when I finish Alexender takes the floor
  • Alexender: we don't really have much time, I'm willing to do the dowry directly, send me the list and on Friday we'll come and see your parents with everything they want
  • Knowing my mother if I let her take care of the dowry list I'm sure she will exaggerate
  • Me answering him: no you don't need a list, my mother is Togolese, in her country the law sets a symbolic sum for the dowry which is 10,000 FCFA just bring her and a cola symbolically and you can have my hand
  • Alexender: whatever you want, you can go back to your post
  • I get up I sign the papers in front of me and I go back to my post as he asked me to see you Friday for the dowry then
