Enticed - Season 1 - Episode 50

What! My mind quickly rushed to the time when I had an encounter with miss big mouth. Surely she could tarnish my name in front of mom.

Me: mom… Why
Mom: I just want to buy some little jewelry for my daughter in laws.

Me: ok give me the money I will buy them for you.

Mom: no… You don’t know a thing about women so I will by the best.
Me: mom… you liked the piece I gave you that means I am the best.

Mom: oh Zenzie… you are always so eager to help me. If only your brothers were like you.
Me: yeah… if only….. You know what I will use my credit card let me drop you off at a spa… I will pick you up later.

Mom: spa?
Me: yeah… where you ladies go when you want to treat yourself to pedicures and manicures
Mom: don’t be silly, I know what a spa is…. I just never go there
Me: there is a first time for everything am I right?

I threw in my best smile and she returned it. Who would have thought I would one day I would be doing this with my own mother. I dropped her off at the spa and went to the jewelry shop. It was closed… I looked around to see if she is anywhere nearby. They should really have a specific time of opening and closing. I waited for some few minutes and she still was nowhere in sight. Just as I was turning to leave I saw her running towards me wearing ripped jeans and a shirt, it was a little bit messy for a girl especially the one that works in a jewelry. She stopped in front of me and unlocked the door. She acted as though she couldn’t see me.

Me: good morning
Fadz: hey…

She was breathless. She headed to the counter and took out a big box full of jewelry

Me: do you open up at 11 am.
Fadz: no 8am

Me: well you are late
Fadz: yeah I know… are you here to here to tell me that or buy some jewelry
Me: buy some Jewelry

Fadz: good now buy some Jewelry and stop annoying me.

Me: can’t you just be nice
She ignored me. I moved round the shop looking at the jewelry. None seemed to be appealing enough for my sisters in law.
Me: hey, do you have those jewelries that come in a set…. You know like a necklace and bangles and earrings at the same time. I need those… for my sisters in law.

Fadz: what are you… an Indian?
Me: A customer and this customer would appreciate a little respect.
Fadz: yeah… I have them.

She went to the back and came with five boxes.

Fadz: I hope this is enough for all your sister in laws and your wife too
Me: do you see me wearing a ring?
Fadz: whatever

She opened up the boxes and I chose the ones that I thought would suit every one of my sisters.

Fadz: this will cost you more than a million.
Me: do I look like I care
Fadz: maybe you should care because I may be lying to you.

Me: you don’t strike as a thief
Fadz: don’t judge a book by its cover… this are seven hundred and fifty
Me: ok

I gave her my credit card, her phone rang and she answered, is she allowed to do that?
Fadz: mom… I am at work… yes I have… you really ruining my life… my goodness mother just relax, it’s not like ii ever have time for self anyway… yes there is a customer in front of me… then why did you call me?

She hang up the phone and gave me back my credit card. I took the three jewelry boxes and went to the door. I looked at her as I was passing by the glass wall. She looked unhappy as she unpacked the remaining of the boxes. I placed the boxes in the convertible and went back inside.

Me: hey Fadz… would you like to hang out later?

Fadz: (smirks) hang out… are you bored dude?
Me: yes… I am bored and you sounded like you needed a…
Fadz: my life my business. Your help is not needed.

Me: ok.

I walked outside again wondering what the f--k I was trying to do. The girl is really beautiful and attractive but her attitude stinks and weirdly I don’t mind it. I went to pick mom up and headed back home.

Mom: I had a lovely morning…
Dad: you had a lovely morning and I had a stress-free morning.
Mom: what are you saying Jerry.
Dad: that I love you.

Mom froze for a second and blushed which really surprised me. I slowly walked away as she pretended that she didn’t hear anything.
Lunch time Trisha and Henry arrived looking more in love than any other time I have seen them together.

Mom: Trisha… when are you returning to the house.

Trisha: um… I am back mother
Mom: oh that’s great… then you can help your sisters with dishes after here
Trisha: yeah… I will.

Mom: I hope that you have not become all lazy again… I don’t like the face you are pulling.
Trisha: my father’s PA said you handled my presentation yesterday.

Me: uh, yeah…
Trisha: he said you made a huge mark
Me: it was actually very easy to impress them.
Trisha: thank you…. Do you like the company?
Me: where are we going with this?
Trisha: well considering the interest you had in the company yesterday and how you handled my presentation… henry and i thought we could trust you to handle the company until i decide who to give the company to.

Me: what? You do realize I never finished my school right
Trisha: but you are intelligent and you have this power over you that just says mister boss.
I looked at Henry who smiled at me… disgusting.

Me: no… actually dad wanted to talk to me about the family company.
If henry thinks that convincing his wife to give me her company will bring peace between us then he got it all wrong.
