Chapter 22 - CHAPTER 22

" Here, there they are, our accountants, the people we have been waiting for". Jaden feeling kinda jealous because of the drama he saw when Brian and Sellisa entered the room but hid it. " Please come and have a sit, let me introduce you to everyone". He added and they (Brian and Sellisa) walked up to him.

" As you all know, Mr Brian, the accountant general would be assisted by our newest employee Sellisa Andrew. They would be in charge of everything relating to finances in this company. And as for the both of you, you should work hand in hand, work together so that this company would progress and not go bankrupt, understood?" Jaden asked after the introduction still feeling jealous because Sellisa was going to work with Brian but he has no choice. " What the heck Jaden, what's wrong with you? Why are behaving like this? She isn't the only beautiful girl?" Jaden asked himself and tried to shake off the thought of her from his head.

"Yes understood ". They (Sellisa and Brian)both said.

" Good, I'm sure you guys already introduced yourselves on getting here, so there's no need for another introduction but you guys can also get to know each other better ". Jaden said.

" No problem sir". They both replied

" Now that the introductis over you can all get back to work, the meeting is over ". Jaden said and the workers all left except from Rose who stood beside Jaden holding a file because she is the secretary of the company.

After 5 minutes of complete silence, Jaden stood up, gave Rose a very rude stare and left without saying a word.

" Oh my gosh, what have I done now". Sellisa said to herself after Jaden left and immediately walked hurriedly to catch up to him.

" Sir did I do anything wrong?" Rose asked immediately she got to Jaden but he continued walking completely ignoring her question.

As a normal human being who was completely ignored would understand that the person you asked the question doesn't want to talk and you'd use your common sense to stop talking but Rose had to continue disturbing....

" Sir, sir, sir...". Rose called when Jaden continued walking without answering her question.

" What the heck? Are you so stupid that you can't understand when someone is or isn't in the mood to talk? You're such a moron". Jaden said and walked away without waiting for her to respond.

After what Jaden said Rose just stood there dumbstruck reflecting on the words Jaden said to her. For some minutes she stood there thinking before coming back to her senses and left to her office.

After the meeting Sellisa went back to her office with Brian and they chatted.

" I didn't know you were an accountant, so Dave has a brother who's an accountant and he didn't tell me?" Sellisa asked.

" Well I am but I didn't know you are an accountant also, this is such a small world". Brian said.

" Wow, I feel relaxed already knowing I have family around". Sellisa said smiling. " So when and how did you start working here as an accountant?" She asked.

" I got a job immediately I graduated from the university. I got employed immediately by a bank immediately after I graduated because of my result and I worked there for a year and some months, I didn't know CEO Jaden kept an account with the bank. A day came and he came to the bank to deposit some money and he found out that I'm his new account officer. That same that we got to talk and he asked me to be the accountant in his company, he promised to double my pay and I agreed". Brian narrated smiling.

" Wow, so lucky". Sellisa said.

" Yeah I guess so. I have to get back to work now ok, see you later". Brian said and left her office.

" I just feel like that talk should never have ended, now boredome has overwhelmed this office ". Sellisa said to herself immediately Brian left.

********** **********

It was 6pm and work was over for the day, Sellisa was about leaving the company when she heard someone call her.

" Miss Sellisa". Jaden called.

" Yes how may I help you sir?" Sellisa asked.

" Nothing much, just wanted to ask if you needed a lift ". Jaden said.

" I'm sorry but there's no need for that, I wouldn't want to trouble you". Sellisa replied.

" I don't mind". Jaden said.

" But sir you're the CEO, what would people say when they see me in your car?" Sellisa asked.

" I don't care what people would say and neither should you. You aren't doing anything wrong right?" Jaden said. "So?" He asked.

" So what sir?" Sellisa asked.

" Would you be needing that lift?" Jaden asked.

" No sir". Sellisa replied looking at the floor.

" Ok no problem, I just wanted to lend a helping hand. I wouldn't be bothering you again, you can go home now". Jaden said and after waiting for a while and left, leaving her there.

" I had to decline, God knows I couldn't sit in that car with him alone". Sellisa said to herself blushing as she started walking towards the road to board a cab when she heard someone else call her.

" Lisa, wait up". Brain said as rushed to get to her. " Do you mind if I take you home instead of taking a cab?" He asked.

" I'm sorry but I must decline". Sellisa replied politely.

" Ok then". Brian said.

" I have to be on my way now. Take care, see you tomorrow ". Sellisa said.

"Bye, see you tomorrow". Brian said and went to the direction of his car.

********** **********

" Sellisa got to her and Jade's apartment at around 6:38 pm and met Jade in the sitting room.

" I didn't know you'd be back home early today". Sellisa said.

" Me neither". My boss told us to do home early today because he he had to reschedule the workers for their shifts". Jade explained.

" Ok". Sellisa said and went to the room to drop her bag, freshened up and came back downstairs.

" So how was your first day of work?" Jade asked as they settled down to have their dinner.

" It was ok for a first day". Sellisa replied.

" That's good". Jade said.

" Guess who I met today at work?" Sellisa asked smiling waiting for Jade to give her an answer.

" You know I'm not good at guessing so just tell me". Jade said.

" Okay fine. I met this guy, his name is Jackson Brian". Sellisa said and Jade kept on looking at her so she could continue. " So can you now guess who this guy is?" She asked.

" Oh so you were done?" Jade asked and Sellisa nodded her head. " Ok, you said his name is Jackson Brian, is he related to Dave?" She asked.

" Yes he is and he is infact his elder brother." Sellisa replied.

" Are you serious? I didn't know Dave had a brother talk more of an elder brother." Jade said. " So how was he?" Jade asked.

" He wasn't bad, he's very handsome, he talks a little bit like Dave but he isn't like Dave in some ways." Sellisa described.

" What do you mean?" Jade asked.
