She knows Jane doesn't like it when you talk about boys, but she just has to take the risk. She really wants her to move on with her life, and she also wants Chris to have a father. He needs a father figure in his life, besides she likes Zain a lot, and she doesn't mind putting in a good few words for him.
"What did you say?" Jane asked with horror written all over her face.
"Zain likes me, did he tell you that?" Jane added.
"Of course not, he didn't say a word to me. It's just simple logic." Mrs Whitney interjected.
"Okay but, why are you hiding behind the curtain?" Jane asked looking a bit surprised.
"Well I thought you were going to chop my head off, because I talked about a boy." Mrs Whitney replied.
"Just come out already," Jane said. Mrs Whitney came out of the curtain, placed her hands on her chest and bowed halfway to Jane.
"Thank you your royal Highness for your kindness, I shall never forget." Mrs Whitney said acting all weird.
"Oh please! Mrs Whitney stop being dramatic," Jane said.
"So like I was saying, don't you see the way he looks and stares at you. He's clearly head over heels in love with you." Mrs Whitney continued.
"Mrs Whitney will you just stop?" Jane said.
"Oh come on don't be like that, give the guy a chance. He's such a good guy, and Chris even love him, just consider him." Mrs Whitney said with pleading eyes.
"Mrs Whitney you know clearly how I feel about men, they have no good to offer." Jane said.
"And I have told you countless times that not all men are the same, they are still good ones out there and Zain is one of them. Trust me dear I have a good feeling about him, just think about it" Mrs Whitney said looking all serious
"But I don't like him, I don't like anyone, they all the same." Jane interjected.
"I totally disagree, Zain has promised to get you a job. That's something good he's offering, don't you think so? Besides my husband was a good man." Mrs Whitney said with her chin up.
"Oh Mrs Whitney! I'm so sorry, I wasn't talking about your husband, It's just that I can't trust any man so easily anymore, I will never be able to forgive what that monster did to me. I just can't bring myself to." Jane explained.
"Oh dear, there's no need to be sorry. And I clearly understand you but, you can't keep harbouring resentment and bitterness in your heart. It's not good for you, you will just keep hurting yourself." Mrs Whitney said.
"You have to let go please dear, I'm not going to pressure you into finding love. Take your time but, you have to move on. Open your heart okay?" Mrs Whitney asked.
"Okay," Jane replied.
"Promise me" Mrs Whitney asked.
"I promise" Jane replied.
"Now smile, enough of being sad." Mrs Whitney said wiping the tears left on Jane's face.
"Sure," Jane said smiling.
"That's my girl, I'm off to the kitchen. I need to prepare something, I'msure you haven't eaten something." Mrs Whitney said. Jane's stomach grumbled and they both laugh.
"Even my stomach can't take it anymore." Jane said laughing.
"Well I better get to work then," Mrs Whitney stood up and left.
"You need help?" Jane shouted after her.
"No I will be fine, you just rest I will call you when it's ready okay?" Mrs Whitney shouted back.
"Okay!" Jane shouted again, she heaved a sigh of relief and laid closed to her son and soon she fell asleep.
Zain woke up very early on Monday morning and prepared for his work. He's really enthusiastic more than ever before about going to work this morning
And that's because he's going to help Jane look for a job in the company where he works. He doesn't how he's going to do it but, he just has to try. Thinking about working with Jane in the same space really intrigues him, and he absolutely loves it as much as he loves Jane.
He took a look at himself one more time before stepping out of his room. Today is really important for him, he's going to meet with the vice president of his company. To see if he can help him with Jane. He knows if he goes through the normal process he's going to have to wait till forever.
And he might never be able to get her a job, because she doesn't have a degree. But he believes if he can talk to the vice president, he can help him and fix Jane somewhere. Worst case scenario, recommend her to some other place.
"You are leaving very early this morning, any problem?" Juliet asked him.
"Not at all, why would there be a problem?" Zain replied her without even looking at her.
"Are you still angry at me for what happened since Saturday?" Juliet asked clearly surprised.
"Obviously yes," Zain replied.
"Well then I guess you have a problem." Juliet replied him and walked away.
Zain stepped out of the door even more angrier not at Juliet this time. But at himself, he knows he had overreacted and probably hurt his sister's feelings. He would find a way to apologise to her when he comes today. But right now he has to focus on getting Jane a job, he had promised her. And he must fulfil his promise, he got into his car and drove to to work.
When he got his letter of appointment, he was all over the moon. It was one of the happiest day of his life, the salary was more than he expected. He was able to save enough, he bought his own car few months back. And very soon he would soon buy his own house.
He just hopes he's able to help Jane in as well. Zain packed his car in the parking lot and came down from his car.
