“New driver?, OMG you’re cute!” Pinky exclaimed, checking Richa-rd out
Richa-rd smiled at her cuteness
“Who’s my boss?” Richa-rd asked
“Snow” Pinky Called but she’s busy staring at Richa-rd
” Snow” she called again, waving her hand in front of her eyes and that’s when she c@m£ back to her s-en-ses
“Oh, ok,…new driver,get in the car” she blabbered
“Can I drive with you Snow?” Chloe asked
“Why?,you brou-ght your car” Snow said
“I suddenly don’t feel like driving again” Chloe lied
Pinky giggled at that cos she’s sure it’s all because of Richa-rd
“Ok, hop in” Snow said and they got in the car with Richa-rd as the driver,the drive to work started
Snow kept stealing glances at him throu-gh the mirror and so is Chloe
“Snow, Snow, get a hold of yourself” she thought as she kept staring
“He’s so handsome!, a ni-ght w!th him will transform my life,if I can just get pregnant for him, my children will be cute!” Chloe thought
” But wait, he’s a Commoner, but does it matter right now?* Chloe thought again
“Snow, he’s your driver, nothing more, let’s concentrate, you’re still snow White, the boss” Snow thought and decided to shake thoughts about him off her mind though that seems entirely impossible
He drove to W investments according to her lead and she got out of the car
“Drop Chloe at her place of work and come back, I’m giving you ten minutes” Snow said, checking the time
” Ok ma’am” Richa-rd replied
” By the look of things, we’re mates, but money can do anything” he thought as he drove, Chloe is now sitting In front with him
“Hey shinny boy, mind being friends with me?” Chloe asked
Richa-rd looked at her somehow first
“No, thanks” he replied politely
“You’re turning me down?” Chloe said
“I did that politely” Richa-rd replied simply
“Bloody commoner,how dare you turn me down” she ranted
Richa-rd st©pped the car
” Should I continue or have we gotten to your workplace?” He asked, looking at Chloe
Chloe took his hand but he quic-kly withdrew it
“Miss,…
” Ok ok, few meters ahead and we’ll be at my workplace” Chloe said , l!çk!ng herl-ips
Richa-rd drove to her company as fast as he could cos he’s feeling uncomfortable and suffocated with her in the car
She got down from the car and he quic-kly turned the car to drive back to W investments
“If I’m still Chloe Magnavox, I’ll make sure I get you to do what I want” Chloe thought as she watched him zoom off
He got back there and parked the car inside the big company compound

Drake walked to school as usual this morning with his earpiece on, listening to music
He got to a certain place and started hearing cries coming from a corner despite the fact that he’s wearing earpiece
“That’s the voice of a girl” he thought and re-moved the earpiece as he walked closer to the place
As he c@m£ closer and closer, the voice bec@m£ more clear, it’s the voice of a girl
He entered the corner and found out it’s two guys who are actually his mates, trying to beat up a girl
“Who are you?” One of the guys asked
“Drake” he replied simply
“Get out of here before we make you regret coming” the second guy said
” I should be the one saying that, you guys should get out of here before you’ll regret trying to beat up a girl” Drake replied obstinately
” Really?, Then you’ll go home we-t, not with water but blood” the Guy replied and they both advanced towards Drake at a time,
he leapt up and gave them both a spin back kick on their faces, they fell heavily with a loud thud, blood coming out of their noses as they layed down
He went to the girl who’s now standing
“Are you ok?, Did they do anything to you?” He asked
The girl looked at him shortly and hvgged him
” I’m glad you c@m£, I would have got beaten up” she said
Drake broke it
” It’s ok,by the way, what did you do to them?” He asked
” Nothing, they were claiming that I’m a rude spoilt br@t though I don’t know if it’s true or not, by the way I’m Gianna, the only daughter of Mrs Montreal, my mum is the Principal of …
“Elite high!” Drake said
“Yes, so technically I’m a student of Elite high, the students hate me maybe because I’m the principal’s daughter” Gianna said
“Elite high is my dream school but as you can see, it’s not meant for commoners like me” Drake said
“what if I repay you handsomely for what you did?* Gianna asked
“No, I didn’t save you for any reward” Drake quic-kly replied
“I know, but from my heart, I’ll do something big tommorow, just expect a surprise” Gianna said, smiling
“it’s ok” Drake replied and smiled, revea-ling his de-ep dimple
” gosh! He’s so handsome!” Gianna thought as she stared
“So are we friends?” Gianna asked
“If you want it” Drake replied
” I do, can I have your number?” Gianna asked, giving him her phone
Drake took it and typed his number
“Thanks once again and expect the surprise tommorow, I’ll call you” she said
” Ok” Drake replied simply
They got out of the place and Gianna drove off in her car
Drake went his way.

W investments****
*Who’s he*
*I heard he’s miss proud new driver*
*Gosh, he’s handsome!*
*How can someone as handsome be a driver*
*He’s too h0t!*
The workers commented on Richa-rd as he leaned beside the car, waiting for Snow to come out so he can drive her home
And she did, she later c@m£ out and stood in front of him, scanning him from up till down
“You can’t greet?, Or your mouth is gummed?” She demanded
” I’m sorry, good evening” Richa-rd greeted simply
“Cool, you must have heard about me, I’m your boss like you know and I don’t like commoners, to me, commoners like you should rot in jail but I’m kind enough to take you as my driver so you should know what to do and not get into my black book” Snow said arrogantly
” Ok” Richa-rd replied
” When you want to answer me, you say ok madam, I don’t care if you’re same age as I am, so far I’m the boss, I’m not your mate” Snow said
” Ok ma” Richa-rd replied
” Cool, you must come to work everyday early in the morning , I mean as early as seven to drive me to work, and when we get here, don’t just stay here like you did today, come inside the company and stay at the reception, aside from being my driver,I can also s£nd you on errands” she said
” Ok ma” Richa-rd nodded
” Cool, and you might have not been told, I’m a club lady, I like to club, I skipped clubbing last night cos of this driver issue, and now that you’re here, I’m going to p@rty and paint the whole town red” snow said and got into the car
Richa-rd got in too and drove
“To Nobles clubhouse” Snow ordered and he head there
They got there around after six in the evening and Snow went inside the changing room to Change into her clubbing dress, a pink shinny go-wn and heels, simple and she did another makeup, her face is shinning un-der the lights when she c@m£ out, beauty at it’s peak, the kind that’ll want to make you ask the type of facial cream she uses
“I dismissed my guards because I’m coming to the club and right now you have to act as my guard” she said
” Ok ma” Richa-rd replied
Snow looked at him and gr-unted
She hates the fact that she found no reason to shout at him
She entered the club while Richa-rd sat at a corner, watching every of her move
She got a bottle of liquor and gulped it along as she danced to the tunes
Ace, Ace, Ace…that face kept appearing and she hates it
“He’s not here so why do I keep seeing his fv¢king face” she thought and gulped down more of the drink
She’s almost drun!kby now
Someone tapped her from behind
She looked back and it’s a guy with white dyed hair
“Dance with me” the guy said se-ductively
Snow looked at him and smiled crookedly
“No, hell no” she replied
She turned her back at him but the guys turned her back to himself f0rç£fully
“Dance with me” he said again
“Is it by f0rç£ to dance?, I’m not interested plea-se!” She snapped
Richa-rd who has been watching the scene c@m£ over to the place and stood in front of her
“She said she doesn’t want to dance, plea-se just step aside” Richa-rd said simply
” And who are you?” The guy asked, giving him dangerous looks
“Her b©dyguard” he replied
Snow looked at him and smiled
“he’s my..my b©dyguard so if you love yourself, go away” she said drun!kenly
” I don’t think so” the Guy said and tried to gr-ab her hand but Richa-rd gr@bb£d the guy’s hand instead and fli-pped him, he landed on the floor heavily
“OMG he’s on the ground!, Richa-rd I’m so proud of you” Snow said drun!kenly, staggering
Richa-rd caught her and bundled her on his shoulders
“Oh no where are you taking me!, I’m the boss here and I get to order, not you” she said drun!kenly and threw her legs in the air as he took her
He took her out of the clubhouse and placed her gently into the car
“Where are we going?” She asked, yawning slowly, Still drun!kthough
“Home” he replied and pressed the ignition
He drove off
She kept saying gibberish throu-ghout the drive and in the gibberish, Ace is what she said most
“Who’s Ace?, Her ex?” He thought
“None of my business” he thought again as he entered the compound
Snow got out of the car herself, by now, a little of the liquor had cleared off her face
Richa-rd got down from the car
“Give me the keys” Snow said, placing her palm forward
He gave her the key and she turned to go
“Where am I going to sleep?” Richa-rd asked
Snow turned back swiftly
“Sleep?, A Commoner?, slee-ping in my house?, impossible, go to your house” she replied
” I can’t possibly start trekking by this time of the night, it’s alre-ady past eleven and I can’t find a cab again” he replied
” I don’t care, if you like, teleport or disappear” Snow replied and pointed at the gate
” Get out and come back tomorrow” she ordered
“Boss I…
” I didn’t order you to talk” Snow interrupted rudely
Richa-rd st©pped talking and walked out to the dark night quietly
“I don’t have a Torchlight with me, my phone is dead too, I’d have used the phone light” he thought as he walked throu-gh the road, street lights are in abundance though but he still felt the nee-d to hold a torch
He bec@m£ unusually fidgety as he walked
He’ll have to do at least one hour walk to get to his house ..damn!
His hope rose when he sp©tted a car coming with full speed
He thought it’ll be nice if the person will be kind enough to give him a lift
The car st©pped right beside him and two able bodied guys c@m£ out of it
He wasn’t chanced to talk before they hit him with something on the head, blood rushed out
He fell and they took him, they tossed him into the car and drove off
