A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

**BRIANNA**

I woke up due to the sudden heat of the sun I felt on my face. I closed my eyes tightly and brought the duvet up to my face to block out the ray of the sun and was beginning to fall asleep again but a female voice stopped me from doing something.

“Miss, you need to wake up now. It’s past 11 a. m. already.” The voice said. It sounded nothing like my mom’s or sister’s voice and since when did someone start calling me ‘miss’?

“Five more minutes please.” I moaned drowsily and I heard a chuckle.

“As much as I would love for you to go back to sleep cause you slept very late, the boss ordered me to wake you up and I’m sorry for doing this.” The person said and yanked the duvet off my body. I flinched when the cold air hit me and opened my eyes to see the face of a middle-aged woman staring at me with smile on her face.

“Well, somebody finally decided to wake up.” She said.

“Good morning Miss Matilda.” I greeted rubbing the sleep away from my eyes.

“Good morning to you too. The boss said I should wake you up that you need to get going.” She said.

“Wait, what did you say the time was again?” I asked.

“I said that it’s past 11 already.” She repeated what she had said earlier and I jumped out of the very comfortable bed I wished to sleep on forever.

I slept when it was the early hours of the morning. I couldn’t sleep because I was wondering how worried mom would be because I didn’t come home last night so I went to the sitting room and watched a movie then when I got bored few hours later, I went to the kitchen and talked with the maids while helping them do their work in the kitchen.

“Where are my clothes please?” I asked Matilda.

“They are over there.” She said pointing at a chair in the corner where my clothes were folded in a pile. I quickly went over to the chair and began unbuttoning Mr. Adrian’s shirt that I was putting on. I was about to remove the shirt from my body when I remembered that someone was in the room with me.

“Huh Matilda… can you please turn around?” I asked politely.

“Oh okay, but aren’t you gonna take a bath before getting dressed?” She asked before turning around.

“I ain’t got no time to take a bath right now. I’ll take a bath when I get home.” I replied then took off the clothes on me and hastily put on my clothes. I combed through my hair with my fingers and patted my head when I was sure that it looked a little presentable. I also put on my shoes that was at the foot of the chair.

“You can turn around now.” I said to Matilda when I was done and she turned. I picked up my bag that was also on the chair and checked if my belongings that were in it were intact and everything was just as I had left it.

“I’m gonna be leaving now. I hope I will see you again.” I said to Matilda and she smiled.

“I also hope I will see you again. Do make sure you come next time.” She stated and I chuckled.

“There’s no way I would come back here again.”

“We shall see but I have a feeling we’ll be seeing you around all the time.” She said seriously.

“Whatever, let me get going now.” I stated and we both walked out of the room.

“Is Mr. Adrian still around?” I asked.

“Yes he’s still around. I bet he was waiting for you so he can take you to your house.” She said.

“That ain’t possible. He’s too proud and arrogant to do that. Besides, it’s not like I’m his girlfriend or something.” I replied.

“If you say so. Oh! I almost forgot, he said I should bring you to the dinning room.”

“Dinning room? For what?” I questioned curiously.

“I don’t know. You’ll find out when we get there.” She shrugged and we turned to the hallway that led into the dinning room right at that moment. We strolled down the hallway and when we were a few feet away from the dinning room, Matilda left me alone walked to another hallway.

I went into the dinning room and saw Mr. Adrian sitting on a chair at the head of the dinning table. I raised an eyebrow at him in question when I got in front of him.

“What am I doing here?” I asked impatiently.

“Wait, no ‘Good morning Mr. Adrian’?” He asked teasingly.

“I don’t have the time to greet you right now. I’ve got to get home.” I responded.

“Well I didn’t tell you to come here to waste your time. I called you here to ask if you would like to have breakfast with me.” He stated.

“No, I don’t wanna have breakfast with you.” I replied without thinking twice.

“Who told you that I was asking you? It was an order so sit down and eat if you wanna get home early.” He said and gestured towards the chair that was beside him on the right. I sat down hesitantly because I knew what was coming next if I argued with him. Guess what? He’ll threaten to fire me.

For the first time since I’ve gotten to the dinning room, my eyes went towards the dinning table and the things I saw on the table made my stomach graham loudly. There were various types of food on the table making me wonder if more people were going to be joining us.

“Uhm, will others be joining us for breakfast?” I asked the question on my mind.

“No, it’s just you and me.” He responded.

“But there’s no way we can possibly finish eating this much food.” I said.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“I’ll tell the maids to get rid of the remaining of them when we’re done eating.” He stated and my eyes snapped towards him.

“How can you get rid of this much food he there are a lot of people out there begging for money to feed themselves?” I asked emotionally and he looked at me in surprise.

“How does that concern me?” He asked.

“It should concern you. You have abundance of food and you’re wasting it instead of giving to the poor. That isn’t fair at all.” I snapped as tears welled up in my eyes.

“Okay, okay. You really have to calm down. I don’t want you crying I don’t of me.” He said.

“Next time, tell your maids to cook the food that you’ll be able to eat at once and not cook abundantly when you know that you can’t consume everything.” I said sternly and he stared at me in surprise because of the tone of voice I used.

“Wait! Are you talking to me like that?”

“Yeah, I’m talking to you.” I responded.

“Now, as I was saying, always tell your maids to prepare the food that you’ll consume at once. Am I clear?” I asked.

“Yes.” He said simply.

“You should really be grateful for what you have. There are lots of people out there who are struggling to feed themselves so never, I mean never ever dispose food like that anymore okay?” I said before asking.

“Okay.” He said. I picked up a fork before I began eating from a plate of pancakes and maple syrup while I ignored the way Mr. Adrian’s was staring at me amusedly.
