Lara stamped her feet violently in her heart. What did he want from her? She'd stayed away from his company to avoid being shot, but he came to find her.
"What does he want from me?" Lara asked, turning to fix her gaze on the men standing before her. They invariably were blocking her paths.
"There's only one way for you to know.." the bodyguards trailed off,but signalling to her to move.
Lara doesn't know if she was scared of what they were capable of doing to her or she went towards the car because she feels a bit of respect for the brat, but however, she got close to the car and paused.
One of the bodyguards held the door for her to get in, not opening the door entirely but barely enough to let her figure get in.
The coldness that hit Lara when the door was opened was inviting. She lingered, shifted her gaze on the man holding the door and he tucked her to get in.
She peered in and saw the brat working on his computer and not paying attention to her. She sneered and got in and the door was shut.
She sighed softly. She doesn't know why she allowed herself to get cajoled by his men to come over, when she had an important place to go. She was supposed to snub him and walk away.
Then she saw two men seated in front. One was his chauffeur and the other was that nosy fellow she met in his office, the one instructed to shoot her should he see her anywhere close to the company.
Still ignoring the woman who just stepped in, Curtis Rodney snapped his fingers and the men sitting behind the steering and the copilot seats opened their doors and stepped out.
Now, Lara was becoming uncomfortable. She hoped he hadn't come to find her to punish her or something. These rich spoiled brats can assume the position of god over the poor like her.
But she isn't going to be poor forever. She might not be in the class of the wealthy or aristocrats, nor that she is going to be a low class either. Being in the middle class was just what she wanted.
She'll be able to raise her baby alone and assume the title of a single mother. That's her desire,and she's optimistic that she'll get there.
From her split vision, Lara saw the brat shut down his computer and placed it aside before turning to his side to glance at her briefly.
Curtis Rodney felt irritated the more. Courtesy demands that she says hello to him at least. When you meet someone for the first time in a day, a single syllable word Hi would not be bad to use.
"Hi" he grudgingly muttered. If JJ Smart and Jim Lake hadn't subjected him to this, what would this smelly woman be doing in his car, for fuck's sake.
"Why do you have your men come after me?" Lara questioned, turning to cast him a furious glare. Since he sees himself as the Almighty, he should have remained in his paradise, surrounded by angels, and scaring looking idiots he called bodyguards.
"Show some courtesy and respond to my greetings" Curtis reprimanded. How can his child be birthed by such a woman? Having her gene in his child is a dent on his father's bloodline.
"I am not a courteous woman," Lara snapped at him. Will he teach her courtesy now?
"I see it so" Curtis Rodney seethed. Has he made the wrong decision by coming to see this lousy, mannerless woman who couldn't at least add a sense of courtesy to her personality? How he hates women like this.
"Good. I'd advise you to start talking already otherwise, I'll walk away from here now" Lara ordered. She just doesn't understand what they both had in common that he would come over to find her.
She doesn't know what Curtis Rodney touched nor did she hear the locks on the car click. She turned her gaze on him and saw him glaring at her coldly.
"Listen to me Lara Edmund. I'll forgive you this once because I initiated this meeting without a prior notice. But the next time you try to order me, I'll ensure you crawl kilometers on your knees and I won't let you off until the street is painted with your blood" he threatened in a hoarse tone.
Lara couldn't help but feel a little scared. He would do so, considering how he said it in a tone of seriousness and filled with finality.
She didn't respond to him but turned her gaze away, staring out of the window. He'd locked the car and he is acting like a predator now. What can she do but learn patience by being by his side.
Few seconds passed until Curtis Rodney continued "I have to talk to you about the insemination you had with my hospital. I came to find you myself when I got to know you are the woman…" Curtis Rodney paused.
He found it difficult to complete the statement. She's the woman,the unfortunate woman who got inseminated with his semen,so unfortunate.
Lara turned abruptly to glare at him with a frown. How did he know about the insemination and what does he mean by she's the woman? Which woman was he talking about?
"Excuse me, what woman?" She demanded. She expected her insemination procedure to be kept safe. She expected patient confidentiality with that hospital.
But she learned that they flopped. If the owner of the hospital now gets information about the patients that visit the hospital, what they came for and goes after them, they should be petitioned.
"The one inseminated with the wrong sperm" Curtis Rodney responded helplessly. He adjusted his necktie and sighed softly.
"May I know what is my business with the sperm I was inseminated with? I don't care whether it is the wrong or the right one,I wanted the procedure and I got it. The aim is achieved. You should see to it" Lara declared.
Can you imagine, she's the woman inseminated with the wrong sperm. So what does he want her to do about it? That's their problem, she's expecting a baby in a couple of months and the excitement that comes with that expectation is second to none for her.
"It doesn't concern you but it's a grievous crime and it's an offense to the sperm owner. Someone just lost her professional license and another is going to get jailed if he cannot meet up with the only option he's got and you think it's not your business?" Curtis seethed.
Of course it's more of her business than she thought. Whatever happened to JJ Smart and Jim Lake was nothing compared to how he was feeling from that moment he learned that she's the unfortunate woman they inseminated.
"You did it, you really did it?" Lara scowled in alarm.
