Chapter Sixty Two

When Erica’s shift was over, she left with Olivia to the fortune teller.
“Are you sure this is okay?” Erica asked Olivia. Olivia stared at her and nodded.

“Yeah, just trust me” she said. Erica rolled her eyes.

“I can’t trust you or anyone. Not even myself” she said. Olivia chuckled softly and gave a mocking smile.

“Just trust me on this one”
.
They walked towards her store and saw that she was still open.
“You are lucky. Come in!” She said, pulling Erica’s hand. They got into the store and saw the teller with someone. She was also here to see her future.

“I don’t think he belongs to you” the woman said to the lady. She gasped and shook her head.

“No, I love him. What do I do?” She asked. The teller relaxed back on her sit and also shook her head.

“I have no idea. Find your own man”
The lady cried herself out of the store.

“Welcome beauties, please have your seat” she said, smiling at us. My eyes were just fixed on her. I wondered how she sees people future. I guess she just have like my awkward gift.

“It’s nice to see you again Olivia” the woman said.

“I know I owe you Fourty Three dollar and five cent but yay! I brought you a customer” Olivia said jokingly. The woman smiled at me.

“What’s your name sweetheart?”

“I’m Erica” she said.

“America?” The woman furrowed her eyebrows.

“No, Erica!” She quickly corrected.

“Oh, I see. I’m Natasha, but call me Nana, Tasha is too common. So, what can I do for you cupcake?”

Erica already liked her already.
“I’m having problem with finding the man of my dreams” she said.

“Let me see your palm” Nana said and collected Erica’s palm. She stared at it and quickly withdraw her hand from Erica’s palm.

“You have a gift” she said. Erica nodded.

“Yeah, I do”

“She has a beautiful gift Nana” Olivia quickly added.

“You’ve seen the man in your dreams already Erica. Just grab him” she said.

“Which of them is my man?” She asked. That was the one thing confusing her. Nana cleared her throat and leaned her hand on the table.

“Erica, one of them belong to you. The other one is for someone else. I’ll only advice you to be careful not to choose another person’s man”

“Tell me, aren’t there any signs that I can know which of them is mine?”

“He’s tall” Nana said.

“They are both tall” Erica frowned.

“He’s charming” she added.

“They are both charming. They share the same physical qualities. Just another type of sign” she replied.

“What about dk size?” Olivia asked.

“Olivia!!!” Erica and Nana chorused.

“What? That’s just a suggestion” she replied and looked away.

“Erica, you know him already. All you have to do is believe!” She said to Erica. Erica remembered Ava’s words. She nodded and smiled at Nana.

“Thank you, that would be a hundred dollar and fifty cent” she pointed as her tip jar. Erica brought out a thousand dollars and slipped it into the jar.

“Thanks” she said and walked out of the store. Nana was very happy that she got a thousand dollar that moment. Olivia quickly ran after Erica.

“Have you gotten your answer?” She asked Erica.

“I don’t know Olivia. Thanks for bringing me here but I’d like to be alone for now. See you tomorrow” she said. Olivia nodded.

“Sure, good night” Olivia waved and left. She walked down the road, trying to get a bus.
.
Erica walked herself to her new house. She somehow felt lonely. She stared at her phone if she had any message from no one but she didn’t. She made up her mind to leave them so do they.
She sighed and fell back on her bed, staring at her blank ceiling. She remembered that night with Kelvin. She wondered why she felt different when around him than Calvin.

“I hope you get well soon Calvin” she murmured.
.
Erica woke up when she heard the doorbell. She spinned on the bed, covering her face with her pillow.

“Go away!” She yelled but the buzzing still went on. She found herself still wearing her dress from last night. She adjusted her rough hair and left the room. She walked towards the door and opened it.

“Morning milk…” The guy stopped when he saw Erica.

“Sorry what?” She frowned.

“Oh, the family here get this every morning. I’m sorry” he said.

“It’s okay. They are no longer here so, there won’t be any need for this milk anymore” she replied.

“Sure. You look familiar. Aren’t you the billionaire fiancee?” He asked. Erica groaned and closed the door on his face. She never wanted to be popular but now she was. Hash tag billionaire fiancee.

Erica walked into the shower and had a long bath. She wore a huge pink sweater and a jean shorts. She packed her hair into a rough ponytail and went to the kitchen.

“What’s for breakfast?” She murmured. That was when she remembered she didn’t have any foodstuff. She picked her phone and ordered some Chinese meal.

After some minutes, her order came. She quickly grab it and close the door.
She spent the whole morning eating and drinking soda.
She watched the television all day.

Kelvin was in his office playing with his pen. Ava stared at him from where she sat. She could see the worry in his eyes and also sadness.
She left for lunch and bought him some meal.

“Here!” She said and placed it on his table. Kelvin stared at the pack and Ava. He then looked away, not interested in eating.

“Not hungry” he said.

“Really? Are you gonna keep starving yourself huh?” Ava asked, slamming your hand on the table.

“Just let me be Ava” Kelvin said softly. He leaned his back on the chair and shot his eyes.

“It’s all your fault, you know. I remembered that day I stopped you by the door to talk to you about what you call sht. But it has ended up this way, if you’d listen to me and just confessed to Erica. All of this wouldn’t have happened” Ava said, eating her burger.

“Have you spoken to her since?” Kelvin asked.

“Not really. I’ll talk to her when she comes to her senses” She rolled her eyes.

“I’m gonna call her”

“Why? You are making it seem like you’re a weakling. Just…” Ava paused when Kelvin was calling Erica. They both remained silent waiting to hear her voice but no, they didn’t.

“The person you are calling is not available. Hang up now or leave a message after the beep” he heard. Kelvin disconnected the call and groaned.

“Erica is very stubborn. She won’t pick up” Ava said.

“Where is she?” He asked and sprung up from his seat, buttoning his jacket.

“I have no idea” Ava said.

He rolled his eyes and grabbed his phone.
“Hey, track Erica’s number” he said and disconnected the call. He left the office and rushed into his car.
Ava shook her head and continued eating. She grabbed the lunch she bought for Kelvin and ate it.
.
Kelvin waited for his special investigator’s call but got a text. He drove off to the location.
.
Kelvin appeared in Erica’s house after an hour. He saw that it was one of the houses she got back as her own. One of her father’s properties.
He pulled over and alight from the car.
.
Erica was in the sitting room. She dozed off after eating a lot of Chinese food and soda.
She sprung up when she heard the door sound. She woke up quickly. She wished it was a ding ding and not a buzzing sound.

“Who is it?!” She yelled and sprung up from the sofa. The sitting room was a mess. The buzzing sound continued again. She walked towards the door and opened it.
She saw the person she didn’t want to see.

“What are you doing here?” She asked Kelvin.

“I came to see you” he replied. Erica smirked and looked away from him. His eyes were just fixed on her, staring at her from head to toe.

“I don’t want to see you. Leave!” She said and wanted to slam the door but she Kelvin stopped the door from closing with his leg. She opened it back and stared at him.

“Get out!” She said. Kelvin shoved her aside and walked himself into the house. He saw the trashy sitting room and turned back to stare at Erica.

“Why this mess?” He asked.

“This is my house and not yours. I decide how I want it. So please get the f*ck out of here!” She said pointing at the door.

He walked towards her and touched the side of her lips.
“You drooled”

“It’s none of your business. Kelvin please leave. I don’t want to see you ever again”
Kelvin wasn’t interested in whatever thing she was saying. He wasn’t even listening to her.

“I called you. Why didn’t you answer?” He asked with his hands in his pocket.

“Why are you calling? You know I won’t even answer your calls”

“You aren’t at work, why?” He asked.

“Are you kidding me? I resign! Okay?!” She yelled and slipped her fingers into her hair.

“You aren’t going to leave like that. You have to write a resignation letter and submit it then you can legally leave the company” he replied, smirking awkwardly at her. Erica folded her arms and scoffed.

“Fine. I will. You aren’t my boss but I will submit it. Use the door!”

“I may not be your boss but you are still working for me” Kelvin pointed at his chest, referring to himself. He unknowingly took a step closer to Erica.

“Calvin is my boss not you” she corrected him.

“But I’m acting Calvin so technically, I’m your boss. Resignation letter should be submitted to me because I have to stamp it” he said and walked away.
He got into his car and exhaled deeply.
.
Erica walked to the door and slammed it again.
“Argh… I hate him!”
.
“I’m so stupid” Kelvin said to himself as he drove off. That was the only topic he could bring up to talk to Erica. A smile crept on his face as he increased his pace.
