Burning The Wires

The call from Caspar was a huge surprise and while I was trying to absorb what had just happened Mother was sprackling over me leaving Sedero’s as she spent her time between burning the wires with Chantal and asking me what was going on. Once she realised it was Jojo’s fault that I left she closed the door to her sitting room and had some sort of long call from Chantal.

Caspar’s call was not only a huge surprise but the call also made no sense as Caspar started mumbling about Bianca’s luncheon how the setting up was great and being a success and how he could use an assistant as he was really busy now. I tried to explain that I had nothing to do with it all as Cameo just ordered us around until the place looked how she wanted but Caspar just kept on talking about how he needed an assistant. I knew he had people working for him so I was a bit confused as to him referring to an assistant all the time but he said he needed a personal assistant to keep track of his appointments and accompany him to take notes.

After everything that had been going on it was sort of nice having the best looking guy in Bishop Vale offer me a job but it also felt a bit weird because first of all how did he find out I had left Sedero’s and secondly he didn’t really know who I was. I mean he had seen all of us around and even sat at our table once or twice but we were like fluff to him, something to amuse him while he was waiting for his real life. It’s not like I had an illusions about Caspar and his offer I was just confused as to why he was even speaking to me. I told him I would ring back in the morning as I didn’t want to make any decisions but it turns out they were already made for me, at least by everyone else in my life.

Tiah rang up and when she heard about Caspar she fizzed all over the place demanding that I accept the job. She said if I didn’t want it I could take it, then resign and suggest her as my replacement as I was not really in the mood to offer Tiah any big favours so I said I would decide later. Then the phone rang again and it was Coco who had heard from Tiah about the call from Caspar and she put another slant on me accepting it. She suggested I take the job just to be seen with Caspar as that should get Jojo’s attention. After all being seen with sex god Caspar wouldn’t hurt my reputation one bit and I had to agree with her there, if Jojo was going to be seen slobbering over his soap bimbo then I might as well have a sex god in my life, even if it’s only as my employer and I could always drop a few hints Jojo’s way. By the time Coco got off the phone I was convinced that working for Caspar even if for a short time would show that I was not upset over Jojo and his ridiculous infatuation at all so I called Caspar back and accepted his job.

Mother came out of her sitting room in time to hear me accepting Caspar’s job and I was ready to flee upstairs at the first sign of her sprackling over me leaving Sedero’s very generous offer of employment. Generous my ass, we were just people to shout at when Chantal was cranky but Mother surprised me when she said that perhaps a break from the Sedero’s might do me some good and she was pleased I had found another job so easily. I did not tell her that I was a little uneasy over Caspar’s sudden offer and I only took the job to show Jojo that I could do just fine without him. Instead I kept quiet about it all and went upstairs to think about my bizarre freaky life. One good thing came out of it all, I would be finally free of Gervais and his stalking and his creepy stares! I knew that he and Caspar were friends but I did not think he had anything to do with Caspar’s work so even if I see Gervais it will be a lot less than seeing him at the restaurant and then later at Djini’s. Also Caspar drove around all day to talk to his clients and suppliers so Gervais would have to be following us in a severely creepy way to find us and even Gervais is not that insane.

Tiah called me back and I told her I took the job which made her fizz all over the place and she said now I was not working at Sedero’s I could help her stop the marriage between Jazz and Braith for real. As these were the only two people who seemed to have a real relationship, at least as far as I could see, I was not about to mess it up. Of course I could not tell this to Tiah as she would have sprackled til the house fell down. I just said yes, yes as people often do to her and decided that I was not going to spend five seconds thinking about them. Coco called me a few seconds later for Tiah had burned the wires to tell her the news and she thought this was just the thing to snap Jojo out of his obsession with Lynx. I told her that it didn’t matter at all as I couldn’t care less about Jojo Sedero then I was surprised for the second time that night when Coco called me a liar, confrontation was not her style at all.

She asked if I didn’t care why did I leave Sedero’s so I start on about Jojo being unreliable and Chantal shouting but she snorted at me—yes snorted! Her final words to me were that I loved Jojo Sedero and everyone knew it, Jojo loved me and everyone knew it but him. I denied it all and took a bath to wash it all away for it was quite obvious that the only person Jojo Sedero loved was himself!
