Chapter four:
The weekend was over before she knew, and she found herself standing before the Blackwood building. The sight was scary, and Jeraldine felt like she hadn’t gotten enough time to wrap her head around the fact that she was now working here.
She had spent the weekend with her grandmother and her old friends. The women were all enjoying a kitty party in their home, and when Jeraldine joined them, they, in their own way, kindly asked her to go.
She couldn’t be annoyed at them because they wanted her to go out and explore the city. And she did just that. She went out shopping. She was the assistant to one of the richest men in all of London and had to look the part. And she did just that.
She got off the cab and started walking. She found it stupid that no taxi was allowed inside, and because she did not have a car, she had to walk. She turned the corner, and she found herself being followed by two homeless men. The city was beautiful but scary, and at that moment, she was scared shitless.
It also didn’t help her that the street was nearly deserted. She could see the guard outside the building, but he had his back to her and had his air phones on.

Before she could figure out her next course of the plan, a hand wrapped around her waist. Her side was pinched, and she felt a warm breath on her neck. ‘Play along.’ The voice said.
The mysterious man stopped her and turned her to face him.
The man before her was around her age but taller. The most typical British guy you’d ever see, and all the more handsome.
‘Darling, I know you are angry at me, but that does not mean you can just leave without telling me anything.’ He said rather too loudly, and she saw the man following her, too had stopped. They look confused.
Deciding to play along, she added, ‘But I am very angry at you.’
‘I know, baby. Please give me a chance? He said, looking at her with puppy dog eyes. She couldn’t help but want to provide him with an opportunity for whatever he wanted.
She nodded her head with a smile. This irked him to smile too, and all of a sudden, Jeraldine found herself in a warm, muscular chest. He kissed the top of her head, and without releasing her, turned towards the two men.
‘Can I help you?’ He asked them. All the warmth leaving his body.
‘No.’ they said and left.
