TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO
Chapter 20

Debby's pov

THE NEXT MORNING

I stand in front of the full length mirror in Andre's room and check out my outfit.... a frown appear on my forehead and I pout.

I wore a floral blouse and shin-length pencil skirt, showing off my thin legs, my entire look ending with ballet flats.

My brown hair cascaded smoothly down my back, outlining my slim jawline.

I don't know if this is responsible enough to visit Andre's parents..... like I don't wanna embarrass myself.

Right then, Andre steps out of his closet and I turn to him.

"Andre, do I look good in this?"

"Perfect!"

"Are you sure? I don't want your parents to think I'm some irresponsible girl"

"I don't need their approval" he said bluntly.

It's no use talking to him.... I just pray his parents doesn't look down on me.

I look at him, he's dressed in his usual business suit.

"Are we going after work?"

"Yes... it's lunch, Angel"

"Oh!" I forgot. "Let's go to work then!"

I reach for my purse and we head out, just when we got to the living room, my phone beeped.

Maybe it might be Lucas... with Andre standing very close to me I don't think I can check it now, I don't wanna deal with his mood swing. "Your phone"

"It's not important"

We got to the dinning room, he pulled out a chair for me and sat next to me.

I dropped me phone and purse on the table and begin to eat. Not up to two minutes my phone beep again.... before I could reach for it, Andre did. From his expression I can tell it's Lucas.. he slams my phone on the table and I pick it up.

But I guess wrong, it's a text from Anna.

*Hey, Debby.... I have a new couple design, I was wondering if you and Lucas can come over to try it out tomorrow*

Damn me for not having a password!

"Lucas?! You have an appointment with him?!"

Does it look like I have an appointment with him.... the text was obviously Anna inviting us.

"Andre....."

"You're not going!"

Ugh! It's too early to argue with him, I simply nod.

"Fine, I won't go.... let's eat"

He begin to stab on his salad angrily. I secretly replied Anna that I'll be there.... Since I have no qualifications, modeling might be a good choice for me.

*******

We arrived at Knight's milling Inc...

*Good morning, Mr Knight*

*Good morning, sir*

Everyone greets as they saw Andre and I walk in.... Andre arrogantly walked past them without acknowledging their greetings.

I rolled my eyes. I smiled politely at them and mutters silent good mornings to them.

Andre and I entered his private elevator.... I cleared my throat.

"Why didn't you reply their greetings, Andre?" I asked him. "I don't have to!"

"You have to... Ignoring them like that is rude!" I scold him.

We stayed silent for a few minutes.

"I'm not familiar with them, how do I reply them?"

"A simple smile would do.... or you can just nod at them"

He sighed.

"Ok, next time" he said.

I nod and pat his back like a proud mother.

"Good boy!"

He glared at me.... playfully?

"I'm a man!"

I rolled my eyes again.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever!"

We arrived at our floor and we stepped out of the elevator.

•

Time fly by and soon it's time to meet Andre's parents.

We're currently in Andre's car going to his parents' house.... I feel like this place looks familiar as he drives in.

Wasn't this the house I came two days ago and was offered money to marry their son?

He parks in the garage and open the door for me and I came.

He leads me towards the main door and rang the doorbell...

I'm suddenly feeling nervous.... I know I'm just doing this to help him, but it feels like I'm meeting my in-laws.

I keep having these thoughts... What if they don't like me? What if I say something wrong and offend them?

"Are you ok, Angel?" He asked putting his hand on the small of my back.

I exhale slowly and nod stiffly.

"Y-yeah" I said in a short stutter.

"Relax, I don't care what they'll say... All I know is you are mine!"

His words made me relax a little but his way of comforting someone is extraordinary.

He rings the doorbell again.

Writer's POV

Nora rushes out of the kitchen when she hears the doorbell ringing.... She takes off the apron around her waist and toss it on the counter. "Ed, Andre and his girlfriend are here!" She called Mr Knight.

Due to her over excitement, she didn't watch were she's going and bumped into ma Doris.

Ma Doris hissed and glared at her.

"Nora! Watch where you are going!"

Nora simply rolled her eyes.

"Sorry, Mom" she apologise... but obviously she's not a big sorry.

"What's the rush?"

"Andre and his girlfriend are here"

Ma Doris scoffs.

"Then what's do great about it?" She asked glaring at Nora.

Nora too return her glare.

Mr Knight walks in the living room and saw his wife and mother in a glaring contest.

He cleared his throat and breaks their contest.

"I heard you say Andre is here, Nora?"

"Yes, and tell Mom to be nice!" She replied and rushes off towards the door.

Ma Doris huffed angrily and points here finger speechlessly at Nora's back....

"Mom, please don't say anything that will offend Andre today.... He hardly comes home to visit us" Mr Knight told her.

"Fine! I'll just ask his girlfriend some questions!" She turns and head towards the door too.

Mr Knight sighs and follows her.

Debby's POV

"Andre!! You're finally here!!" A woman squeals.

"Mom!" Andre smiled and hugs his mother.

I raised my head and my mouth was left hanging... how can it be? Her?

She's Andre's mother?! So, Andre was the son they wanted to pay me to marry?!

This world is really a small place!

"How have you being?" She asked looking at Andre all over.

"I'm fine" he pulls me close. "Mom, meet my girlfriend, Debby!"

That's when she turns her gaze fell on me.... at first she's shocked, then she brokers into a wide smile.

"It's you!"

I nod... before I could blink, I found myself in a very tight hug.

"I can't believe it's you!" She exclaimed happily.

Right now I can hardly breathe, but I didn't complain.

"Please, don't tell Andre about our first meeting" she whispers in my ear.

"Ok!"

Actually she didn't have to tell me that first, I already know Andre's kind of person.

She released me as someone clears their throats.... Mr Knight and an old woman stands by the door.

The old woman folds her arms on her chest.... she must be Andre's grandmother.

"Miss Debby?" Mr Knight asked in a surprise tone.

Andre furrow his eyebrows.

"You knew each other?" He asked.

"Yeah, we....."

Mrs Knight cuts him off with a cough... she pulled him back and whisper something in his ears.

Andre look between them but didn't say anything..

"Good afternoon Mr and Mrs Knight" I greets them politely.

"Good afternoon, dear" Mrs Knight replies.

The old woman steps forward and nudge Mrs Knight with a smile.... though I can tell it's a fake smile.

"Aren't you gonna introduce me?"

I caught Mrs Knight rolling her eyes, but she quickly put on a smile.... hmm, I guess their relationship is not good.

"Dear, this is Andre's grandmother" she said.

I nod and smiled at her.

"Good afternoon, grandma"

She smiled slyly.

"Don't call me grandma yet.... we don't know if you'll stay!" Then she marched in slamming the door.

I turned to Andre, he's glaring daggers at the door where his grandma just went.... his jaw clenched and I can hear his teeth grinding against each other.

I held his arm and smile at him. "Calm down" I whisper to him.

I glance at Mr and Mrs Knight, Mrs Knight is eyeing at Mr Knight.

Ok, I guess this lunch is gonna be very fun... there's gonna be lots of drama.

With a bitchy grandma.... well, I'm so ready for her.

Mrs Knight laughs nervously.

"Come on in, dear.... lunch is getting cold" she said.

I nod. "Thank you"

"Andre, let's go in" I told him.

He shakes his head in disagreement.... please, don't tell me he's gonna throw his tantrums again.

"I'm not going in" he said.

"Huh?"

"Let's go back!"

Mrs Knight holds his arm.

"Andre....."

Andre cuts her off with a glare.

"She insulted my Angel, I don't want to eat with her!" Andre said.

Mr Knight clears his throat. "Come on, Andre... just ignore her manners"

"No!" Andre replied stubbornly.

I sighed. I held his face in my hands and look him straight in his eyes.

"Andre, don't be like that... we're already here, let's just eat"

"But she insulted you!"

"Don't worry, her words didn't affect me"

"But...."

"Shh... let's go in"

He stays silent for a moment before he reluctantly agreed. He wrap his arm around my waist and leads me inside.

Bitchy grandma? Let's see what you got.
