It had been two weeks since Charmaine gotten back on her on feet. She been going to work everyday while Tiani kept an eye on Malani. In the past two weeks she was able to get he water and electric turned on. Now she needed fruniture. Malani was opening up more she talked to Tiani like she knew her forever. The little girl was a chatter box.

Charmaine got off the bus walking a block down to the club. She walked in seeing strippers set their things up and people setting tables and the VIP area. She walked past them to where Kain office was. If he wasn't at the trap he was here working. Charmaime more so became his assistant. He had her make phone calls to order things, bring in job applications ect.

She knocked on the door something Kain told her she must do. "Come in"his deep voice said. Charmaine still felt...intimidated by him. He always kept a mean... Serious demeanor. She could never get a vibe from him. A few times he almost made Charmaine cry with his slick or sarcastic remarks.

She pushed the door open walking in. There was a long rectangle table which Kain allowed her to do her work on and place​ her belongings there.

She looked at the few papers on the table seeing they were nothing important.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked.
"You see that sticky note with that eight hundred number on there?"

"Y-Yes.."
"Check up on my order. Make sure it gets here by. Saturday"
She nodded her head picking up the phone from her desk.

Griff pushed the table over kicking a nearby chair.
"Where is she?" he shouted looking around at his room full of workers.
"We-we don't know. No one told us you were arrested there for we wasn't keeping tabs on her"

"What the fuck do you mean? Where did you think I was for the past month and a half? Huh? Up an asshole?"

Some of the guys snickered causing Griff to get pissed off even more.
"All of you suck ass. I'm going to find myself new workers!"
The guy who was still snickering finding the situation amusing ended up getting back handed.

"Get out of my face"she said disappointed.

"T-th-"
"Th-th...The fuck you always stuttering for "Kain said mocking Charmaine stuttering habit.
She looked at him not saying nothing. He laughed to himself shaking his head. Don't go walking out the door backwards now "he said now making fun of her awkward ways.

He stopped laughing looking at her. He noticed a few things he haven't noticed before. Her almond shaped chinky eyes and the way her face scrunched up due to embarrassment.
It was kinda...kinda of cute to him.

"The stuff should be here later tonight around the time you lock up. "Kain nodded his head standing up.
"So you already know how I get down from meeting each other at that connect meeting "
Charmaine slowly nodded her head intertwining her fingers.
"So you don't mind doing a little dirty work ?"
Kain wasn't worried about Charmaine he trusted her enough for the job he nedded help with. Plus if she fucked up it wasn't nothing to have her dead body delivered to her parents door step.
"How dirty"
"Nothing that serious.. Maybe help me count money or some shit. Either you with it or not. I really don't give a fuck "

She nodded her head after what felt to be forever. She was hoping to make a few extra dollars this way.

"Get your shit and come on " he told her grabbing his Nautica hoodie from his chair.

She obliged and followed him onto the main floor and outside where his car was parked. Kain had a black Jeep. Charmaine was expecting something like a sports car.

Kain does have sports and luxury cars for when he participates in street race and car shows. Kain was never the type to flex with his shit. He hated those guys who acted as if they never touched a brick before. The guys who wear four chains around their neck,Grill,rings,earrings, sport cars ect cause those be the main niggas flexing with other people shit. Kain could make anything look expensive. He was just that nigga.

Before Charmaine could buckle up he was speeding down the highway doing ninety miles per hour. Charmaine was feeling sick the way he took off. It almost gave her whip lash.

"Can you slow down"
He looked at her debating whether to or not. He slowed down going seventy. It was better than not slowing down at all

"Don't get mad when I ask you this but what you say ya name was?"

"Charmaine"
"Champagne "he joked. She cracked a smile shaking her head.
"I'm just fucking around. Your presence is weird as shit. You always quiet. Loosen up some"
