"Hi, am Damian"
The lady was surprised, outraged and mad and this man is introducing himself. What nonsense?
"You are finally awake, I will excuse you. Freshen up, and we will talk; and there are some clothes in the wardrobe. Pick whatever suits you". The man said in a nonchalant attitude and turned, and left. The middle-aged man also followed suit.
The lady got up, confused, she hit the shower and took a bath. When she was through she selected a sky blue gown with white designs. As she finished she noticed that the stained bedsheet had been replaced with neat ones.
Then she murmured to herself
"The whole of today has been a surprise ".
As she was putting on her heels, Damian entered, Rosy being so annoyed,' took out her frustration on him and yelled
"Don't you have any manners? Don't you know it's rude to badge in like that?"
The middle-aged man was surprised, he had never seen anyone speak to his master like that and the master didn't reply. So he spoke to the lady for the first time
"Miss Rosy, calm down. My master here wants to strike a deal with you".
"Miss Rosy? How did you know my name? Strike a deal with me? This is just crazy.
Listen Mr, Damian, what we did was an accident, I was drunk and so were you. We just had a one-night stand and so, let's behave like adults and ignore this. I won't bother you, and you won't bother me.
Besides, this is the 21st century, people lose their virginity every day. So it's not a big deal. Understand? Bye." Rosy hurriedly explained and stood up to leave, but she was stunned by Damian's next words
Marry me!
"What???? Are you alright? I mean did you hit your head somewhere or are you mentally unstable?
Is that how people marry these days? Mister, marriage is not even on my least problems right now. So I advise you see a doctor". The shocked Rosy said in disbelief.
"Listen Miss Roxanne, you are acting crazy. Like Mr. Steve said calm down and listen." Damian said with a tone of command.
"Excuse you? Are you commanding me? That I should calm down? You want me to calm down? I just lost my virginity to some dude that I don't even now, and now he wants me to marry him. How am I supposed remain calm?" Rosy was flaming with anger.
"Miss, I advise you calm down for the sake of your career". Mr. Steve advised.
The word career made Rosy dumb struck. She finally said
"You've been doing quite a research on me, nice job" she clapped sarcastically before she heaved and continued
"what is this deal?"
"Now that's better." Damian commented before he continued
"I want you to marry me for a period of eight months. The deal is just like a marriage contract." Damian said in a not such a big deal tone.
"Are you for reals? You want me to marry you? A stranger that I don't even know? The only thing I know is that we spent a night together.
Okay let's say I agree to do this, what is it that I stand to profit?" The obviously astonished Rosy said.
"You are free to ask me for anything and I will give to you." Damian answered.
"Listen Mister." Rosy couldn't finish before The young man interrupted.
"it's Damian."
"Whatever, I don't care! Your name is the least of my problems right now. Listen Damian, I know that you feel guilty for taking advantage or should I say sleeping with a drunken woman. And you had no idea that she was a ******, I understand. I seriously do. That is why I am asking that we behave like adults, and forget this. Pretend like nothing happened. Like you said my career is on the line even before I can make a name for my self. So please, I am begging erase me from your memories. Is that too much to ask?? Rosy said as she fought back her tears.
All her life she had never had anyone dry up her tears when she cried so, why does she think that this stranger would. Last night was a mistake. She broke up with her boyfriend, Ryan, got drunk and made the biggest mistake of her entire life.
As Rosy was thinking of all this, she didn't notice the way Damian was staring at her.
"Think properly, there is nothing to lose if you do this." Damian said in a calm tone.
Mr Steve was shocked, this young man right beside him, spoke in a calm manner and that to a lady? What spell has she cast on his master?
"There is nothing to think about and there is nothing to gain either. I don't want you to stop me on the way for anything. Think of last night as a nightmare and I will do same. Have a nice day." Rosy said and hurriedly stood up and left. She was wearing heels and she was run-walking, so she almost fell. But luckily she held the walk and maintained her balance.
Then she walked through the door and slammed it. As soon as she was out of sight, Damian face turned cold, the aura around him was terrifying. His expression looked like that of a handsome devil.
Mr. Steve has stayed with Damian for over 20 years but he was still not used to this cold nature of his. Damian pulled out his phone and made a call. As soon as the receiver answered, Damian gave a simple command
"Do a research on Roxanne Garcia." And he ended the call.
