Yasmin wore an cross-back apron on an extra large sweats trying to make pancakes for lunch, her Dad had left for his workshop hours ago and her mum have some friends over for what Yasmin call gossips.
They just sit down for hours talking about irrelevant subjects, her Mum had shown her to the women for a showoff an hour ago and she has been bombarded by series of questions about her work life and love life
She had managed to avoid most of their query with too much smiles and nod of heads, right now she need to fill her stomach with something to regain back her lost energy from the chattering.
Although she has seen her mum do it many times, Yasmin finds it hard to flip the pancakes and make sure they are not burnt
Just as she pick one of the halfly-burnt piece and bite on it to have a taste, her phone rings beside her and she drop the pancake to pick it after seeing the name on the screen
“Hi Yasmin”
“Good afternoon Mr. Bays”
“I’m in Paris now, I came for some business and remember you’re having your vacation there also…”
“Where is it at? I like to visit”
“Rue saint Domcruque” she answered thinking one short visit wont hurt
After giving a clear address and house no, Yasmin end the call and continue on her pancake munching as she make them.

Knocks came on the door and Yasmin hurry out of her room top open it before her mum could and she will have to answer another embarrassing questions, but unluckily she was too late and her Mum already open the door instead
“Who are you?”
Yasmin rush to the door hearing her mum’s voice, she quickly stand in front of her and turn to answer the question
“He’s my Boss from work, he’s just here for a short visit”
“are you sure?” her Mum asked looking down and she follow he gaze to the bags beside him, Yasmin look back at Mr. Bays
“I feel it would be courtesy to bring gifts with me” he answered with a smile
“That’s so thoughtful of you” Lea said with happy grins and pull him inside
Why would he bother to bring gifts? Yasmin thought taking the two remaining bags and follow after them, the look on her mum’s face already make her feel unease.
Yasmin try for twenty minutes to convince her mum that Mr. Bays is not her boyfriend but really her Boss who just came to visit her, the fact that he brought fancy gifts didn’t help and her Mum believe she is just trying to hide her relationship from her
In order not to upset her, she decide to just let her believe what she want and that is only when she is able to get rid of her and bring Mr. Bays outside instead

“I’m sorry about my Mum”
“It’s fine I enjoy her talks”
“you enjoy her teasing you about being my hidden boyfriend?” she ask with a little chuckle
“yes” he answered and Yasmin gaze at him confuse
She clear her throat and look away from him not wanting to read meaning to his word
“are you done with what you came for?”
“No, I think it’s going to take a while”
“Then are you here because you need me for something?” She ask really curious why he had visited anyway
“I would like a tour around the street”
“what?”
He came to visit her to get a tour round her street? Yasmin thought his reason to be a little unexpected but decide to go with it anyway, maybe he just wanted to visit her since he’s there but finds it hard to tell her that
“I will change my clothes then” she told him and go back inside not allowing him back again since her Mum is still there waiting to continue her question session.
For three hours Yasmin took him on a thorough tour of Rue Saint Domcruque, the last place they visited was the Eiffel tower and Jean Millet for dinner with the excuse that she does not want her Dad to meet with him too
“I really enjoy myself today”
“I’m glad you did” Yasmin replied elated
She also did not expect to have fun today, her plan was to sit at home and spend the whole vacation resting and doing absolutely nothing but going out today felt so good
She hasn’t had so much fun in years not with working for someone like President Black there is always something to take care of.
“I will treat you tomorrow for lunch” he told her cutting her thoughts off
“You don’t need to, I shouldn’t be bothering you when you have business to deal with”
“Eating with you is more important business” he said and smile after
Yasmin nod her head not wanting to argue further, she isn’t his secretary and know nothing about his schedule or the business he came here for, maybe it’s a personal business which isn’t so important.

Yasmin struggle to open the door with the full bags in her hand, she went shopping since she will be leaving tomorrow
But it looks like she went overboard with the shopping and now have too much to carry that she could barely reach her fingers out to the door.
Her knock can be barely hear too as she can not put too much force into it and its only audible to her ears
“Mum!” She yelled resorting to her last option
“Mum! Can you come help open the door? I can’t reach…”
Before she could finish the statement, the door open and she smile grateful but it didn’t last three seconds
“Hi”
“Mr. Bays… you’re here… again” she said managing not to look displeased and put on a smile
“Can I help you with that?”
He took the bags in her hands and walk back inside while Yasmin also enter closing the door after her.
She walk in to meet her Dad and Mum having what seem like a good time with Mr. Bays
After his first visit to the house, he visited again and again and met her Dad who he seem to have become close enough to and he invited him to come over again.
Yasmin try to stop him from coming but her parents won’t have it and insist he should come eat and spend time with them
Each time he comes, he always bring what seem to Yasmin as bribes for her parents and even few neighbors he had met
Just yesterday he was here and she had told him not to visit again since she will be going back soon, but it looks like he didn’t listen and ignore her yet again
“Why are you here again Mr. Bays?” She asked putting down her purse on the empty sofa
“What sort of question is that? Of course he came to see you”
“I clearly not want him to” she answered her Mum between gritted teeth
“Why do you come late anyway? He has been 2aoting for so long?”
Yasmin is force to sit down beside him and flash a short smile at him but turn to her parents again
“Can you guys stop this? He’s my Boss and nothing more”
“We believe you”
“Then what are you doing?”
“Is it wrong to have one’s Boss close? It give you good credit at work”
Yasmin sighs knowing she is not going to win the argument once again, her parents are clearly treating Mr. Bays as their son-in-law and it is not pleasant
“I’ll be in my room” she told them and pick up her bags from the table but another hand grab one of the bags she reach to pick
“Let me help” he said and didn’t give her a chance to refuse but pick another bag and head to her room
Yasmin hurry after him not wanting him to go inside her room but he is already inside, she drop the ones in her hands at the doorstep
“You can drop the here, I will pack them later” she told him
He give her one of his smiles instead and proceed to drop them on the floor beside her bed, then take a long stare at the whole room
“Your room is nice”
“Thank you…. but I like if you leave now” she smile at her thought not dare to say them outNôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Yasmin watch him touch few things on her desk and she glare at him hating the invading of her privacy, when he get to her closet he stop and Yasmin watch him take a long inhale
“What was that?” She wondered
“Why the hell is he surveying her room like some…”
She stop thinking and widen her eyes when he reach to open the closet and rush to stop him
“What are you doing?” She yelled pushing the door back with her hands and glare at him.
