Chapter 4 Compensate Me Ii

  • Georgina's POV
  • I fell silent after listening to the man's words but after sometime I brushed it off knowing it was nothing.
  • "Mister you are really funny, how did you know I am bored and I need to let off some steam," I say, letting out a dry laugh after I found my voice again.
  • "I am not joking," he says seriously and his aura changes and that got me confused.
  • I actually might be hearing things because a stranger can't propose marriage to me.
  • It's so uncalled for, I might be hallucinating. Yes, that's it hallucination, it might be the after-effects of the accident since I hurt my head, so maybe that's why I am hallucinating that this handsome stranger is proposing marriage to me.
  • I should catch some sleep and get my head back on track before I embarrass myself, I thought, smiling to myself and closing my eyes.
  • "Shouldn't you give a response to what I say?" the handsome man that I haven't yet gotten his name says.
  • I opened my eyes slowly to look at him staring at me and that's the confirmation I need to know that I am not hallucinating that he asked me to marry him.
  • I stared at him for some seconds trying to get my head around what was going on. My career is in jeopardy because of a scandal that I am framed for and the whole country is still cursing me over that I also got into an accident that got my head bandaged and now a strange man I don't know from anywhere is asking me for marriage I think I must be unlucky, I thought to myself sighing heavily.
  • "Why are you asking me to marry you?"I asked seriously.
  • "Because that's the only way you can compensate me for all that you have put me through," he says, returning to the couch crossing his legs, and staring at me.
  • "What did I put you through?"I asked with a questioning look. "The last time I checked I am the one on this bed and your car is the one that hits me so what exactly have I put you through?" I asked not believing his gut to shamelessly say that.
  • "But you say you wish to compensate me," he says, cornering me and that got me dumbfounded.
  • Oh! Me and my trashy mouth, I thought facepalming myself.
  • "But I thought you would ask for money, isn't that what a normal person would have asked, "I say looking at him.
  • "Then did you have enough money to compensate me," he asked me with a mocking smile that makes him look damn sexy but wait did he just mock me that I didn't have money my career might be in jeopardy but I have some cash to myself.
  • "How much is your price after I pay you? I don't want you to hang around me again," I said feeling proud of myself.
  • "10 million dollars," he said smugly and I stared at him with my mouth wide open.
  • Did he just say 10 million dollars? I asked myself and I think that's what he said so, he wants me to compensate him with 10 million dollars.
  • Where will I get that huge amount of money from? I asked no one in particular even if I am still working. I can't give 10 million dollars out talkless of when I am about to go broke because of that scandal.
  • I went silent for some time trying to think of a possible comeback for this direct humiliation but I can't seem to find any. I immediately remember one of Ollie's sayings.
  • 'If you can't afford a problem then, avoid it' and I think that's the possible solution because I can't humiliate myself by saying bluntly that I didn't have the money but I don't have the money but I can avoid saying it.
  • "Can I please get some food? I am so hungry" I say, holding my stomach and looking at him pitifully.
  • "I haven't taken anything ever since I woke up, don't you think I need to eat?" I added trying to make my claim possible but while saying it my stomach makes a sound and that got me so embarrassed but I think it played the trick because he picked up his phone after hearing the sound.
  • The room fell into silence after he finished making the call and I can't help but be grateful for the silence this time.
  • I promised myself never to start a conversation with a stranger because it might not end well. After some minutes the door to the VVIP room opened and a trolley containing different types of dishes was pushed in.
  • I can't help but salivate when I saw different types of dishes and the ways they looked so delicious.
  • OMG, I am definitely in heaven. I have much love for food, and seeing different delicacies makes me so excited.
  • The lady that brought the food in started serving me but I saw that she is making different sexy and flirting poses so the handsome man can be noticed but it was none of my business.
  • I was about to dig into the food. One of the doctors walked to check on my health and he saw the feast that I was about to eat.
  • He said I should take something light like porridge so my wound can heal faster. That's how the handsome stranger told the lady to wheeled the food back out and brought me porridge. I felt like crying.
  • "Don't worry after you recover I am going to make you a lot of delicious meals?" he says in a soothing sexy voice.
  • "No it's fine I can always treat myself to a meal after I recover," I say, trying to let the message get to him that we don't need to meet again after this.
  • "Don't you think you should at least compensate me if we are not going to meet again?" he said looking at me and that made me angry.
  • "Mister I am thankful for your help all this while I mean it but I can't compensate you right now because I don't have the means I promised you I owe you one next time we meet," I say with a frustrated voice can he stop asking for compensation because I don't have anything to give him.
  • "If you don't have the money then you can marry me," he says and that drives me to realize that this man must be a psychopath or a sociopath.
  • As an actress, I have acted in so many roles and a psychiatrist is one of them so I understand people like him.
  • "Please don't be like that," I say with a worried look. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow and I think that's my cue to continue.
  • "I know it's hard but please don't go around asking people to marry you," I say looking at him pitifully. He is in that kind of condition with such a handsome face.
  • What a waste! I thought.
  • "What did you mean," he asked with a complicated expression and I think that's when my psychology knowledge comes in.
  • "I know you are going through a lot and you are sad about it but you can't go around forcing people to marry you, it's not ideal," I say. I know a lot of psychopaths that go around kidnapping people to be their brides but I don't want to end up like that so, I have to put it to him I'm a simple term so he can spare me.
  • "Are you saying I am mentally not fit?" he asked, laughing out loud and that creeped me out. Why is he laughing? Is he angry? Did my question make him mad? I kept asking myself so many questions.
  • "I have been mistaken for so many things but no one has ever mistaken me to be a psychopath, you are really funny Miss Grey," he says with an amusing smile.
  • "Then why don't you tell me who you are, so I will be clear with my assumptions," I say.
  • "That's fine since Miss Grey is not that social then I should take it upon myself to introduce myself," he says arrogantly and I can't help but roll my eyes.
  • "My name is Bradley Hale of Hale group," he says and I looked at him confused because that name sounds familiar, and then it clicks BRADLEY HALE…
