Massy fidgeted her fingers, going from one leg to another nervously as Malik gazed was pinned on her.
She did not know what to say about what had happened earlier.
She knew, that she wasn't at fault but how would she explain to Malik who hated her, will he believe her?
"I… ERM… I wasn't the one at..."she sputtered still fidgeting her fingers.
Malik raised his brow at her confused and not understanding her words at all.
"Have you been eating?" He voiced his thought as he eyed her, she look pale like a vampire in need of blood.
She stared at him then looked around her to be sure the question was for her, it was unbelievable that he would ask her that.
Seeing her reaction to his question made his face crease into a frown.
"Aren't you the only in the room, stupid? Why then are you looking around like a dimwitted being." He scorned his face twitched in irritation.
"Eat to make you stop looking like a living corpse" he said and stood up and started undressing himself.
Massy bowed her head looking uncomfortable, and she wanted to walk out but could not because he has not permitted her to step out then.
After getting undressed, and was left with only a short knicker, he turned to her, "get me prepared to wash up." He ordered making her raise her bowed head.
"I don't…" She wanted to talk but swallowed it when he gave her a cold glare.
"Do not waste my fucking time bitch, it's part of your f@cking job." He cursed and cursed without regret.
He growled afterwards which made her flinch, afriad, she rushed towards his bathroom to prepare his bath.

Shawn was in his office going through some files when his door opened, and without looking up he knew who it was.
Without taking a sneak peak at the other person in the room, he asked "What are you doing here?"
The person chuckled "Am I no longer allowed to visit my friend?"
"Why don't you answer that yourself?"
The person sat down in front of the chairs before him with his legs rightly crossed.
"I heard, your ex woke up "the person said, Shawn closed the file he was going through and sighed concealing his anger.
"What do you want?" he inquired immediately as he dropped the file.
"I miss you." The person said which made Shawn roll his eyes in disgust.
"You and I know so well that this is never true, you always show up only when you are in need of help" Shawn said.
"You insult me because you know too much about me."
"Why won't I when we have been friends for years now?"
"Fine, I believe I would need your help" the person stated.
"For???" Shawn said with a brow raised.
"Actually, my wife would call you to ask if I was with you yesterday, so can you lie for me?"
"Why should I, Dan?"shawn scoffed.
"You should, since we're friends please"
"Do you know that being friends with you has made me a blatant liar, huh? I have to lie to your wife each time she calls."
"Shawn, it is not like…"
"Stop that! When will you stop the chase of skirts?" Shawn voiced out frustrated.
"When I get older, which will never happen soon?" the person name Dan, said dressing his curled hair with a grin.
Shawn rolled his eyes "Dude, you are in your late forties, soon you will be fifty, I even have a younger face and I'm not a chaser of skirt unlike you."
"You are younger than me," Dan said.
"Only six months, three day, nine hours, minutes, two seconds." Shawn said, making him (Dan) roll his eyes.
"Still, you are younger." He said.
Shawn shook his head muttering "how did I become your friend?" Under breath.
"So, will you do that for me" Dan said giving him a puppy eye look.
"That is if she called." Shawn responded, just then his phone rang, the name of Dan's wife appeared, he stared at Dan mouthing your wife.
After tapping the receiver's icon, he placed the phone on his ear.
"Good day, Louisa."
"Good day, Shawn, Dan told me he was with you yesterday" a female voice boomed from the other end.
It was weird and unladylike that she did not make any attempt to exchange pleasantries but he understood her.
"Yeah, he was but left when it was noon "Shawn said which made Dan widen his face in horror.
"What the f@ck are you saying?" Dan mouthed glaring at Shawn who smirked at him.
After a few talks and exchange of pleasantries finally, the call was hanged up.
"How could you?" Dan growled immediately Shawn dropped his phone on his desk.
"Do you think your wife is dumb? Huh?"
"What do you mean?"
"You have no idea why God created them with the tittle woman, you are a man with grown up children."
"So?"
"It means you are a soon to be grandpa, you need to learn a lesson for your promiscuous acts." Shawn stated with a smirk.
"And you think, she will be the one to teach me the stupid lesson?" Dan growled lowly.
Shawn shrugged "maybe or, maybe not, and it means you shouldn't be mad since she's not the one to teach a lesson on your promiscuity.'
"Fuck you" Dan growled and walked out of Shawn's office angrily.
Shawn shook his head with a sigh. He and Dan has been friends since they were in highschool.
He in fact was the best of best friends he ever had even though he was a player, he is still a good quality of true friend.
Dan never came to him for business talk except for him to tell a lie which he (Shawn) was tired of.
Dan was known as a womaniser since they were in highschool and even tertiary institution, when he met his wife.
He (Shawn) had thought he would stop being a play boy but he was wrong, it only got upgraded.
What was most surprising was the fact that this crazy man loved his wife, he doesn't joke with her.
He remembered the day his wife threatened his friend with divorce, (Dan) he almost committed suicide.
He (Shawn) had to beg his wife on behalf of his friend with a promise that he would stop his promiscuity which he never fulfilled.
He sighed as his mind went to his lover, his one and only that was lying in the hospital.
Even though she had moved her fingers, she hasn't opened her eyes.
And although the doctor had said there is possibility of her opening her eyes anytime soon, he could help it.
This was largely because he was eager to face her, to see her beautiful face, and he hoped she felt the same way too.
He felt he was somehow desparate to kiss her small lips and to felt her warm body with his arms around her.
