A CHANGE - CHAPTER 17
(Not edited, beware of grammatical errors)
“Please miss, if I sleep on the floor I might not wake up again” Kingsley pouted cutely.
Pearl stared at his cute face and she slowly brought down her hand unable to hit him like she thought, he looks cuter right now that her heart melted.
She walks towards the only cushion in her room with the blankets in her hand. She was just few inches away from the cushion when she turned swiftly back to kingsley.
“I just give you for today because I pity you so learn how to start sleeping on the floor and chair because that’s where you will be sleeping henceforth” she said to him and he nods his head obediently.
“What I’m I even saying, you are staying here for only tonight right? So there is no next time” pearl stated walking to the cushion while Kingsley let out a short smile which dissapeared almost immediately.
If not because of his situation, he would have swear that pearl is so beautiful and everything about her is cute.
THE NEXT DAY
**MORNING**
Pearl was counting her bread that she wants to sell for the day when Kingsley came out of the room.
“Is good you are out of the bathroom now thought you wanted to give birth” pearl said.
“I’m not a girl, you are the one that will push” kingsley replied and they both shared a short laugh.
“You are ready to go hawk?” Kingsley asked staring at the well arranged bread.
“Yes no time to waste time” pearl replied bringing out her purse from underneath her tray.
She opened the purse and brought out some dollar notes which she handled to Kingsley.
“Take that and use it to eat pending the time I will come back from hawking. Don’t go around causing trouble or trying to mingle with all these idiots around this place. If you are bored, go inside and sleep” pearl stated strictly to him like a mother would say to his son.
“I won’t, I promise. Thank you so much” Kingsley said.
“Is fine, just be careful” she replied with a smile carrying her bread.
“I thought you will send me out today after spending the night I pleaded for” Kingsley confessed.
“I pondered over it and I realize that since I’m the only one you can turn to right now, no one is willing to help I should also help even though I’m yet to hear your story but I don’t think you are all that bad” pearl explained bringing a big smile to Kingsley’s face.
“Thank you so much, I promise to tell you everything with no iota of lie when I’m ready’ Kingsley stated and pearl pat his back before leaving.
SOMEWHERE DARK IN A CLUB
**4PM**
Benedict is sitting in front of a masked man. He watched as his boss with mask puffed out smokes from his cigarette while staring at his phone, watching the video of Kingsley that they framed. All his life of serving him, he has never seen his face.
He let out a dry but wicked laugh before dropping the phone and facing Benedict.
“You did well Benedict and I’m super proud of you” the masked man said patting Benedict’s back.
The masked man opened the suitcase on the table, Benedict gasped at the large amount of money which full the suitcase.
“Take it, is for you for a job well done” he said.
“Thank you so much sir” Benedict appreciated.
“The next target is Mrs Williams, we need to eliminate her and you are the one that will do that”the masked man said and Benedict gasped knowing that will be harder for him to do.
