Be My Wifey Or Lose Your Job

George POV.

I pushed the cloak door opened and stepped inside.

“Your honor. Two weeks ago, the man sitting there stole from a big company but thankfully, he was caught and…”the prosecutor said while I went to take a seat on the bench.

“Objection, my lord. I would like to…”the attorney Interrupted.

“Objection over ruled.. You can continue..”the judge said as he beckoned to the prosecutor.

My eyes trailed over to her and she nodded and continued.

“So, as I was saying.. this man…”

And that was how the trial went on.

**

“The evidence the both side submitted isn’t enough.. you should get some more prove in the next trial.”the judge announced then stood up.

“Court arise!.”someone said and we all stood up.

After the judge was out of view, the people started leaving one after the other.

I gazed over to the prosecutor and she looked kinda angry.

I sighed and pocketed my hand.

I gave her a final look before exiting the court room.

I moved out to the parking lots and then to my car.

My driver bowed then opened the car door for me.

I hopped in and relaxed my back.

“Ren?.”I called my driver as he came in.

“Sir?, do you need anything?.”he asked.

“Well, yeah. I want you to find out more about the prosecutor and give me feedback.”I said.

“Oh, okay.”he nodded.

~Two days later~

**

I threw a gum in my mouth and started chewing on it.

“Do you have any information about her yet?.”I asked.

“Her name is Janelle Bright. She came from a very poor background and her mother owns a convenience store and…”

“That’s not what I want.”I snapped.

“I want informations about her love status.”

“Ah, sorry.. she doesn’t have a boyfriend.”he replied.

I smirked lightly and rubbed my lips with my thumb.

“How come a pretty lady like her is still single.”I asked no one in particular.

“Not only that, she haven’t for once had a boyfriend.. we can say her love life is a bit messy..”he added.

I looked up at him and he shrugged.

I grab my phone and put a call across to mom.

She picked up at the fourth ring.

“Why are you calling me?.”was the first thing she said.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

Seriously?.

“I called to tell you that I’m finally ready to settle down.”I drop the words.

The other line went silent for a moment.

Even Ren turned to look at me.

“What?, is this a prank of yours?.. look here, George.. I’m not up for your prank this afternoon.”she voiced out after a moment of silent.

“This is no prank, mom. I’m dead serious.”I frowned.

“Wait, really?. Oh my, thank God. George?..”mom sounded excited.

“Her name is Janelle Bright. She’s the woman I want.”I said.

George POV.

“Oh, Janelle Bright, right?. Don’t worry, I will make some research on her. Oh my, I’m so happy..”mom gushed out.

I rolled my eyes then sighed.

“I will discuss about her profile with you better in the…”

“No.. I can’t wait that long. I will start researching about her now.. oh… geez…”mom cut me off happily.

“Okay, then. Please yourself.”I said before hanging up.

I sighed in relief and smiled lightly.

This went smooth than I imagined.

The only problem now is the girl.

I hope she will like me.

Oh, of course.

“That’s certain. Is there someone who wouldn’t love George?.”Ren said.

I turned to him and scoffed.

Did I said that aloud?.

Janelle’s mom.

I was cleaning the store when the bell jungle indicating a customer is coming in.

“Welcome!.”I greeted.

I dropped the vacuum cleaner and walked to the counter.

I waited patiently for the customer to choose the goods he wanna buy.

When he was done, he brought it to the counter and i calculated it.

“That will be $300 won.”I said without looking up.

“Can I transfer?.”he asked.

“Sure.”that was when I looked up.

He proferred his card to me and I collected it.

I made the transfer and return his card back to him.

“Ok, goodbye.”

“Yeah.. do come another day please..”I replied.

He walked out and another came right in.

Her stiletto clutched tightly like its life depended on it.

Her purse was hung under her arm and her short hair was jelled back.

“Welcome..”I greeted and then ignored the fact that she grinned at me happily.

She went to the shelf and started picking out somethings.

Later, she came to the counter and drop two plastic of spicy noodles.

Is this the only thing she will be buying?..

“You’re Janelle’s mother, right?.”she suddenly asked.

I nodded absent mindedly but glanced up at her immediately.

“Who’re you.. how do you know my daughter’s name?.”I asked with a frown.

“Oh, no. I.. I mean no harm.. I just.. happen to know her name somehow and well, she’s a great prosecutor.”she stammered.

My face softened when she said that.

“Thanks. Your money is $100.”I said.

“Yeah.. yeah, of course, sure.”she replied and quickly opened her purse then brought out a bundle of money.

She dropped it on the counter and smiled warmly.

“I would like to request your daughter from you, ma’am. And, I hope you won’t turn me down.”

Janelle’s mom*

I stared at her and bursted into laughter.

For the first time in this week, I laughed.

“Ohh… I’ve never heard something like this before and do you just say request?.. you’re quite funny, ma’am.”I laughed.

She stared at me for some minutes and sighed.

“I’m dead serious. This is a matter that could ruin or change one’s man life.”

I stopped laughing and gazed at her sternly.

“Your jokes are getting too expensive. Please, take your money and leave. I’m no beggar..”I said.

“Look here..”

“Thank you for the compliment also, thank you for calling my daughter a great prosecutor.”I interrupted.

“Then let’s make a deal. I will reward you abundantly if you will allow your daughter to be my son’s wife.”

Janelle’s Pov..

“Ugh!, please save me that crap. Who told you that I need a boyfriend..”I rolled my eyes at Diana – my best friend, as we both walked down on the street during lunchtime heading to a restaurant.

“Then what?.. how can a beautiful lady like you stay single.. look, I can hook you up with a man and trust me, it’s going to be a great experience and…”

I pushed a stick of lollipop inside her mouth to stop her from talking and started walking ahead of her.

“Aarg.., seriously.. I’m doing all this for you, Janelle. Do you wanna die while still being single, huh?.”she yelled after me.

The people around turned their gazed on me and I cursed Diana under my breath as I balled my hand.

Gosh, seriously.

“You need a boyfriend, Jan!.. you need to create your love life before it is too late!!.”

I stopped walked and turned.

I marched over to her angrily and glared at her.

“Fine!. I’m only going to give it a trial.”

“Really?.. you will love it, girl. That’s a promise, and the man I will be hooking you up is sweet and caring and…”

“Save the talks, Diana. Save it.”I rolled my eyes and as I turned to walk away, she stopped me.

“Tonight.”she said.

“Tonight?.”I asked, raising my brows.

“Tonight.”she replied.

George’s Pov.

# The night at the bar.

A slow music was playing in the background as the waiter dropped a glass of vodka in my front.

I carried the cup and took a sip out of the drink.

I glanced over at the other people that also came to grab a drink and sighed.

“Sir?.”Ren voice sounded beside me.

I turned to him and scoffed.

“I thought I told you not to interrupt me.”

“Sorry but, it’s quite important….”

“How important could it be for you to interrupt me in a drink.”I frowned.

“It’s.. it’s about the uhm… the girl…”he stuttered.

I raised up my brows as curiosity rise up in me.

Well, that’s the first.

This is the first time I would be this curious.

“You mean my girl…?, what’s up with her?.”I asked.

“Ah.. she’s not entirely your girl yet..”I heard him mumbled but I ignored it.

“She’s meeting a man tonight, let’s just say they were hook up and…”

Upon hearing that bit, I sprang up.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where?.”I demanded.
