To Be Yours Again-Chapter 234 Lifting it

*LORENZO*

"Are you even a man?" Rico asked.

"It’s too heavy for a human being to lift.” I grumbled.

"What about those guys lifting it? Aren’t they humans?"

I stared at the men lifting the bags of cement as if they weigh nothing but you could tell that it was too fucking heavy by the way they were sweating profusely.

I shook my head.

This job wasn’t for me.

"I can’t carry those"I stated, flatly.

He sighed. “Fine...you can use the wheelbarrow then.” He suggested.

That didn’t even make me glad.

I just wanted to relax and be taken care of.

I got hold of the wheelbarrow and with all my strength, I lifted a bag into it.

Oh Jesus.

I started transporting it but the wheelbarrow didn’t want to cooperate with me.

It was bad and it took longer time to get it to those who needed it.

"Oh, Andro. I’m sorry to say this but you’re giving us double work...this job isn’t for you... please leave. You’re fired."

I gave him a sad face. “Alright"

And then, I turned around and walked away, smiling.

I was happy that I got fired.

I headed to Danica’s house but a boutique caught my attention.

The suit displayed for customers was so nice.

I held my head, suddenly seeing myself in a suit, walking down a large hallway with men in black behind me.

My memory faded when pain struck my head.

Was I wealthy?

Well, since I couldn’t answer that question, I moved forward to the boutique to take a closer look at the suit.

Was there any way I could steal it?

I just wanted it so bad.

"Oh Hi handsome.” Someone said from the inside.

I grinned.

"Come on in.”

I walked into the Boutique and met a chubby woman smiling at me.

"Are you interested in getting anything?"

"I am but I’ve got no cash on me"

"Oh...I do sell on credit but I can’t really take that risk with you, I don’t know you.”

I frowned.

Then why did she invite me in?

She moved closer to me and I couldn’t help but gaze at her big breasts.

"And at the same time, I want to help you...you’re way too handsome to be in the clothes you’re wearing, if only I know someone close to you whom I can trust."

"Danica."I heard myself saying. “I’m a distant relative of hers."

"Danica Diaz? I know her...I’ve been to her restaurant and I think I have her number."

I ran a hand through my hair.

"Well, I stay at her place, I’m not going anywhere and as soon as I have the money, I’ll pay you.” I assured.

She smiled, seductively at me.

"Alright, handsome...pick anything you want.”

I had only meant to take the suit but then I started trying on more and more outfits.

I looked super cool in them and I suddenly felt so alive.

*DANICA*

I had a fake smile plastered on my face as I and my employees worked together in attending to my customers.

Rico just called, he said Lorenzo was the laziest man he had ever seen and he had no choice but to fire him.

I was livid, he had to work, he had to do hard jobs that would teach him a good lesson and he was going to get it from me when he got back.

"Mommy, you said I should inform you of Andro’a arrival, he just got back.” Lucy informed me.

I dropped the tray and took off my apron then I headed upstairs.

I was shocked beyond words to find a lot of shopping bags in the living room.

While he was wearing an expensive looking T-shirt and jeans with matching sneakers.

My heartbeat accelerated.

How did he afford these things?

Has his memories returned?

"Wha...what’s going on here?"I shakily asked.

"I bought some clothes."

I rubbed my palms together nervously.

"I can see that but where did you get the money from?"

"I bought them on credit.”

And then my jaw dropped, probably to the floor.

"You bought clothes on credit?"I repeated, faintly.

"Yeah...from the boutique down the street, she said she knows you and even has your number.”

I gasped. “You used my name in purchasing all these?"

"Kinda. You said any salary I receive would go to you so now, you would use the money in paying for these.”

I took a deep calming breath.

This was more than I bargained for.

I didn’t know that billionaire lifestyle was still in him.

"Look...And...Andro...you got fired today, you got fired on your first day at the job and what salary are you booking for paying up all these?"

He shrugged. “I’m sure I’ll get a proper job soon."

“ANDRO!" I screamed and he jumped out of the couch.

Putting up his hand before him, he explained.

"Danica, calm down...I was tired of being in your ugly PJs and you gave me rags to wear today, do you have any idea how suffocating it was...I just...I badly needed clothes, please, don’t get mad over this, it was a necessity"

"And you had to buy all the clothes in the boutique?"

He shook his head."No...no...not all...there were few remaining...I was thinking of getting other..."

"Shut up! Where’s the receipt?"

He handed me the paper.

I laughed bitterly.

God!

I should have chased this man out of my house.

"You are so...you are...you are...!" I didn’t even know what to say to him.

"Calm down, woman. I will pay it up before you know it but can you please give me a suitable place to arrange these clothes, I can’t put them in the attic."

The nerves of him.

"Get out of my house!" I yelled throwing the remote control at him.

"Danica, this is no big deal..."He said backing away from me as I approached him as if I could really beat him up.

We circled the living room.

"You’re a parasite and you’re going to return all these clothes!" I yelled.

"I won’t! Grow some conscience.” He shot back.

I gasped.

"You..." I raced after him and we ran around the living room.

"Wow, are you guys playing catch me if you can..I will love to play too.” Hearing Lucy’s voice, I stopped running and stormed out of the living room.

Damn it!

It was so hard to torment a billionaire.

He was tormenting me!

********

*LORENZO*

Women were lovely set of beings.

Except Danica.

She was far from lovely.

And her anger issues was beyond me.

The following morning, she called me up to the living room.

"I found another job for you.” She announced.

I sighed. “Danica, I was at that construction site yesterday, can’t I at least have today as my day off?"

"Nope. And you did nothing at the construction site. Mind you, you now have a debt to pay. Believe me if Marina starts coming here for her money, it won’t be funny, so you have to start working. This is the location of a warehouse. I already spoke to the owner and he’s more than willing to have you as his employee...now, go"

"A warehouse? Danica, can’t you at least find me a proper job?"

"You’re getting too informal with me and I don’t like it...Now get going!" She ordered, harshly.

I nodded."Yes, Ma’am"

**********

Working in the warehouse was equally as bad as working in that construction site.

I was made to lift crates and boxes of goods and commodities.

I got a cut in my hand and by the time I got back home, I collapsed on the couch unable to move.

Danica walked passed me then, smiling mischievously at me.

I don’t get why someone would help a person and then treat the person with disdain.

By the time, I got enough energy, I stood up and applied first aid on my hand.

"Hi, Andro."Lucy said, walking in.

"Hey, how was school today?"

I almost wished I could take back that question because she started talking non-stop.

It was one question I asked but she went on and went on about what everyone did in her class today.

Boy, she can talk.

And I had to listen, nodding at some things she said that I didn’t understand.
