Agent Jeff And The Governor's Daughter Part 7

one week later 11am, Tuesday. I was busy checking out some news sites with my computer when I heard loud shouts coming out from the sitting room. I quickly grabbed my jacket, tucked in my small pistol and rushed to the sitting room. With great speed I ran into the sitting room as if I was being pursed only to see Lydia facing a huge guy who was holding her by the shoulder. I kind of felt embarrassed, freezing with shock as they stared at me with surprise. ‘’oh I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I heard noises and I thought you were in danger’’ I nervously explained while the huge guy scoffed. It was very obvious he was very angry but what I didn’t know was if it was my interruption that made him angry or something else.

‘’like seriously you barged in on us just because you heard noises? Who the hell are you? He fired at me. ‘’calm down Harry what is wrong with you?’’ Lydia shouted at him. ‘’oh I see you are now defending what he did?’’ he asked Lydia who shook her head in anger.

‘’you know what, you can leave now. I’m tired of talking to you, we will see on Thursday’’ she said to him angrily while he stared at her with disbelief. I simply watched the drama with a little smile on my face. I couldn’t help but wonder who the huge guy was. Of course he looked very wealthy and saucy. And with the way he was acting I figured he was very close to Lydia.

‘’I said you can leave now’’ she shouted at him again before leaving the sitting room for him. The young man scornfully stared at...

me for some seconds, breathed deeply and walked away without another word. I calmly

returned to my room to continue with what I was doing (before the noise that got my attention) and had barely settled down when Lydia walked in .

She hesitantly stood at the door post, smiling faintly as she probably tried to act cool.

‘’I’m sorry for the embarrassment. The guy is just a nut-head but unfortunately he is a very close friend and we have known each other for long. His name is Harry’’ she softly explained while I smiled as I tried hard

to come up with something good to say.

‘’his birthday is on Thursday and I will be heading to Abuja for it. I will leave tomorrow. Do you wish to accompany me?’’ she offered.

‘’yes of course, I will gladly do that’’ I answered quickly.

‘’you will do the driving. I love road trips’’ she added, smiled and left the room while my heart sank as I thought of the long distance and stress. Moreover it was going to be my first time of driving all the way to the

federal capital city.

Hours later

Blessed walked into my room with her usual charming smile. Yes after that evening she kissed me at the backyard, she became a little more careful with me. She tried to be as friendly as possible while being cautious.

She sat on the bed, crossed her legs and stared at me. ‘’I can’t believe Lydia is taking you to Abuja while dropping me. I can’t believe she accepted you into her life so easily. There is more to it you know. A lady can’t accept a guy so easily without having intentions, without having a little romantic feelings for him’’ she muttered, carefully watching my reaction.

‘’so what are you trying to say?’’ I asked. ‘’I think she’s very fond of you’’ she added carefully.

‘’yes and it’s making my job very easy. So far the girl has been nothing but good to me.

The only problem I have now is preparing and getting myself ready for the long drive to Abuja. I have never done that before and I’m a bit nervous’’ I confessed with a frown while she laughed out loud. ‘’but on a serious note, Who the hell is Harry?, do you know him?’’ I asked.

‘’yes he is the first son of Senator Danlin, the man who was very instrumental in helping Lydia’s father win the governorship election.Harry and Lydia have been friends for long and I believe the young man considers himself her boyfriend. I don’t like him though. He is too rude and arrogant’’ she replied quietly.

‘’hmmmm that’s deep’’ I breathed. ‘’yes and that’s the truth’’ she muttered.

‘’I believe we will be back by Saturday’’ I added, changing the topic while she drew closer to me.

‘’do you like Lydia, are you interested in her? Tell me please I’m dying to know?’’
