CLARA THE GOVERNOR'S DAUGHTER EPISODE 3

Episode 3

 Val’s side of the story continues

 Clara and Vivian chatted endlessly as we headed
back to the governor’s lodge from the airport. I
simply focused on my driving while listening to
all they discussed. I really was enjoying my job
and Clara wasn’t really as troublesome as they
painted her to be. In no time we got to our destination without any
issue. Of course I was happy. I passed the first
stage of my job very easily. ‘’hey Clara, please I will like to be with you
when ever you are leaving the house to keep
your company. All you have to do is just to notify
me on time. So let’s exchange phone numbers
please’’ I begged as we got out of the car.
She silently stared at me for a while before throwing a quick look at Vivian who shrugged.
There wasn’t any doubt she was trying to
make out the reason for my gesture. ‘’come on, you have done pretty much
enough by picking me up at the airport. I’m
very much fine by myself. I really don’t need
anyone to watch over me. I can give you my
phone number but I clearly don’t need your
protection or company, whatever you call it. Okay?’’ she answered with a smile while I
scoffed. ‘’jeez I wasn’t talking about protection. I
have nothing much doing and I’m always
bored. So the best thing you can do for me is to
take me with you whenever you are leaving the
house so that I can at least have a breath of
fresh air’’ I pushed on. She rolled her eyes and smiled once more. ‘’so you mean you have no job or
something?’’ she asked. ‘’yes things are very hard in this country.
It’s been two years I left school, yet no good
job is forthcoming and that’s really why I’m
here. Perhaps your dad could help me out if he
sees how close we are’’ I answered faintly.
For the first time, Clara looked at me with pity in her eyes. She drew close and held my hand. ‘’it’s very hard to see an honest guy these
days. Fine I will always take you with me
wherever I go. Relax, I will force my old man to
get something for you’’ she promised,
exchanged numbers with me and headed to the
mansion with Vivian. I swallowed hard as I watched the two ladies disappear. I really felt
very bad lying to her but then I did it to protect
her. I was only doing my job. ———————————————————– The rest of the evening was very uneventful as
Clara spent the evening with her family while I
rested in my room, wondering how the next day
would be like. However at exactly 9:05pm,
Vivian showed up at my room, surprising me
with her presence. I quickly sat up, thinking that I was in for another
assignment but she smiled and sat at the edge of
the bed. ‘’hmmm relax, I only came to check on
you’’ she breathed, flashing her charming
smile on me.. ———————– Vivian’s side of the story I really wasn’t fond of guys because of the
nasty experience I had with them right from high
school to college. Returning to Nigeria in 2007, I
still kept my resentment and distance from them.
Yes my decision to stay away from guys caused
me less stress, less worries and less thinking. I loved my independence and surely was enjoying
every bit of it. Moreover the power and attention
I got from being the governor’s niece was
equally enough to bring up my pride and ego. I
enjoyed being the center of attraction and
gossip. Of course I had numerous admirers. I had lots of rich suitor’s coming for me but none of
them won my heart because all I saw in their
eyes was desperation, greed and business. I
needed someone who would love everything
about me and not what he stood to benefit from
me. I needed nothing but pure and simple love. Intact fact I needed a simple guy who had ambitions
devoid of greed and deception. From the moment I saw agent Val that fateful
Saturday, I instantly was drawn to him without
really knowing the reason. Maybe because he
somehow looked like my immediate senior
brother or maybe because of the innocent look
he had which I had never seen in any agent. I liked him, I wanted to be his friend and I just
couldn’t help myself but the only problem I had
was that he looked way too serious like
someone scared of playing with his job. I had to
find a way to make him loosen up with me
without making it obvious that I was falling for him. I had to make my way to his room when I
couldn’t control my feelings any longer. But
don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t in his room to
seduce him but just to keep him company for a
while.
