Chapter 18 - Jealousy and pain

"Morsi?! " Nessy gasped as she felt this sudden fear within her.

"Its ok baby, am here. I won't let anyone hurt you ". Geb said to her as he sensed her fear and drew her into a warm hug and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

Nessy felt relaxed again and calm. She and Geb freshened up and got into their formal dress for official duties. Geb came out first, then followed by Nessy. Anyone who saw both of them coming out with the way Nessy clung her hands to Geb's would think that they had just fulfilled carnal desires of pleasure.

Geb held unto her possessively as well, as he walked her out of the restroom to her office. As soon as the got to the door that opens to her office, he stared into her grey orbs and said "do you trust me? ".

He couldn't understand what he was feeling, but he was sure that something was not right. He sensed that something was definitely going to happen today, something he wouldn't fancy or want Nessy to experience. So he just had to ask.

"Yes l do, l do trust you very much Geb" Nessy said as she was lost in his mesmerizing hazel orbs.

With this, Geb felt a little bit calm and relaxed. He opened the door and stepped in with Nessy by his grip. He darted his eyes around the room for Morsi, and saw him sitting on the couch by the other side of the office. But he wasn't alone, there was this woman with him. She turned and looked at his direction, directly into his eyes.

"Nut?! "

*ealier on*

(The entrance of Saadid company)

"We are here" Morsi (Aposis) said as he look at the company building, with satisfaction.

Nut looked around her. The building looked more magnificent than the other buildings they had passed and saw on their way to this place. The name 'SAADID COMPANY' was carved in block letters on the walls of the building, the building was very tall and its entrance was indeed what drooling for.

"Aposis, are you sure Geb is here? "Nut asked, giving Aposis/Morsi a questioning look. For some reason, she couldn't believe that her Geb would like to have anything with such a place.

Morsi /Aposis gave her a hard glare "are you trying to doubt me or are you saying that am now so much of a fool that l don't know where Geb is when l sensed him here or are you calling me a liar?". He raged with fury in his eyes.

Nut recollected her self immediately. "Am sorry Aposis, l totally believe you" she said with a meek tone.

"Don't call me that" Aposis ordered.

"What do you mean? " Nut asked, looking puzzled.

"I am under a disguise Nut so don't call me my real name. Call me Morsi, Morsi Mubarak! " he thundered.

"Ok Morsi " Nut replied with a shaking voice.

She felt angered a little though by the way he spoke to her. Did he forget she was a goddess he would always ask herself because she felt he was looking too down on her, and she wasn't happy about it. But who was she to say a word. Afterall, if not for him, she would have been wishing for death now, being locked up in her abode in the sky and her mortal body taken away from her. She knew she couldn't bare it and might just kill herself. So she had no option than to appreciate and respect the demon lord for what he did for her.

"Let's go " Morsi said as he would to the entrance, followed by Nut. He talked for a few seconds to the receptionist and she made a call, then asked him to go. Nut couldn't understand what was going on, but decided to keep her cool.

They walked to the elevator, then Aposis/Morsi pushed some buttons on the wall of the elevator and if Nut was not mistaken, she believed they were going up. She felt a little dizzy though because the only means she had for going up was flying , but this was definitely out of line. She was standing erect, but still moving up. She looked at Aposis who just stood calm and still as he had his arms in his pockets, and his eyes forward not looking by his sides to know how she was faring, because this was definitely not part of the awareness she got from the enhancement.

Suddenly, they stopped, and the door opened with a beep. Aposis just walked out casually with his hands still in his pockets and eyes straight up. He was walking fast, but she managed to catch up.

He spoke to the woman behind the desk there and she nodded. She made a call, but the person the call was being put to didn't seem to answer. Nut just looked her, lost in admiration and surprise. She wondered what the object the woman used to call the other person was and also how it could pass message to people who are not close. But the fact still remains that she dare not ask, so as not to incure Aposis's rot.

The woman tried the call, but still no answer. Then she stood up and walked into the room that the door beside her desk led to, saying these words to them " sir, maam please wait, l will first inform my boss that you are here".

Aposis took a sit on the couch that was near and Nut sat beside him, wondering why the woman left because she didn't catch her words.

After few minutes, the woman came back and said to them "you may now enter Sir Morsi" with a beautiful smile on her face.

Aposis stood up and walked into the room where the door led as Nut followed closely, not wanting to cause any foul.

They entered the room, and Nut's jaw dropped on the sight. It was more beautiful than all the offices they had gone through to come here. It was very big and had a large space and various thing she didn't know their names or what to call them. But the fact still remains that the place was magnificent but was missing something 'a person '.

She looked around her to she if she could find the owner of the office or maybe Geb. Her eyes darted around in anxiety and happiness. But still, she couldn't find anyone.

She turned her gaze to Aposis and gave him a hard glare.

"Why are you giving me that look? " he asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I thought we came here to see Geb, but where is he and who exactly are we waiting for? " she asked looking at him desperately for answers.

"Relax Nut, calm down we would soon see your Geb so stop borthering me and have a sit". He said being calm and relaxed as her balanced himself comfortablely on the cushion he sat on.

Nut still wasn't satisfied, but she decided to give him time and hold his peace. She sat down as well, still admiring the place, till she heard someone come in. She looked at the direction of the sound and her eyes met him. Her Geb, he looked just as handsome as she remembered if not more. She stared directly into his eyes till she heard him call.

"Nut?! "

*now*

Geb couldn't believe his eyes. Was he hallucinating or was it really Nut he was seeing with Morsi. How come? how did she find him and why was she with Morsi Mubarak of all people.

Geb was still in thoughts when she stood up where she sat and jolted him with a tight hug.

"Geb. Oh Geb l have missed you so much, my Geb l couldn't get myself since you left oh Geb" Nut said with all emotions as tears well up in her eyes. She was creasing him affectionately but was surprised that he didn't bulge.

"Geb what's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me? " she asked with 😟 worry written all over her face. "Geb what is it? " she asked again as he still wasn't responding. Immediately, she tiptoed and gave a kiss but he pushed her away with anger and disgust written all over his face.

"What is wrong with you Nut ? where are you coming from and how did you find me? And how did you come here from ancient Egypt? " Geb asked as he was totally confused of Nut's prescence. He flashed his gaze at Nessy who was already tearing up. He could understand how and what she felt, but this was totally not his fault.

"Aren't you happy to see me? I came here, all the from our time and this is how you respond to my presence". Nut said almost in tears.

Nessy felt lost. Who was this woman and what was she to Geb. She felt jealousy stab her heart as she kissed Geb. Why did she feel this way? She was sure she felt something for Geb, but she didn't know it was this intense for her to turn green from jealous just because of a woman she didn't know. Even to the extent of tearing up. She felt the tears were going to drop but she couldn't let them see her cry, especially Morsi who was sitting down on her office cushion, feeling relaxed and enjoying the show like he paid for it.

Nessy didn't even bother to reason about his odd relaxation, as she felt so much pain within and couldn't hold it in any longer, so she just went back into the restroom and locked the door behind as she didn't want anyone to follow her.
