CHAPTER 8
"Isn't he going to give it a rest?" Neveah groaned when she went through the text messages on her phone. It has already been three days and yet, Liam was still sending her text messages nonstop. It was pretty annoying; very soon, he'll probably start stalking her.
It has been three days since she slept with her boss and also three days since she has been avoiding him. For some reason, she thought that she would be fired from work or something bad would happen but it has been quiet.
"He must be ashamed of himself, yes, that must be it. After all, sleeping with your employee in the office is not a good thing."
She forgot that she was the employee in question. Her lips twitched when her phone beeped again and she didn't even have to look at it, she knew that it was Liam.
"Stupid pig, after cheating on me you still dare to try and speak to me. What a stupid man."
"Hm… Neveah, come back to me, I'll forgive you for beating Lily up. Who is Lily?" Someone whispered right beside Neveah's ears and in shock, she jumped and her phone fell to the ground.
Neveah quickly turned around, her heart pounding as she locked eyes with Nathan, the very person that she had been avoiding three days ago; he was right in front of her. Neveah blinked twice as his handsome face made her remember everything that she went through in his hands and a red tint appeared on her face. Why did he have to be here now!
She immediately turned around; her eyes wide as she wanted to escape through the open elevator but Nathan held her arms and dragged her back inside, the elevator closed immediately. Neveah's back hit Nathan's chest and he wrapped his arms around her and whispered harshly.
"Stop moving!"
Instantly, Neveah stilled.
"Why are you running away from me? Did I do anything wrong?" Nathan queried, his lips were pressed together; he was angry. Neveah whirled around to face him, she was speechless, and it was as if her day had been turned upside down by this devilishly handsome man who was standing right behind her.
Nathan's intense gaze bore into Neveah and for a moment, she didn't know what to say. The elevator continued its ascent; its whirling sounds the only thing that could be heard in their silence. Finally, Neveah took a deep breath, regaining her composure.
"What do you mean you didn't do anything wrong? You're my boss and we slept together, which was a mistake but still, I just want everything to go back to normal!"
Nathan's expression shifted from anger to what seemed like frustration and at the same time, a smile rested on his lips. Why he was smiling, Neveah asked herself. What is he planning? Slowly, Neveah put her hands over her chest and she slowly retreated away from him.
"Are you dating someone?"
"N… No."
"Are you about to get married?"
"N… no."
"Didn't you like the sex we had back then?"
"I did…"
"Then what is the problem?"
Neveah, after realizing that she had fallen into his trap sputtered in embarrassment, she wished that the ground could open up and swallow her in this instant. How could she be having this kind of conversation with her boss! Even though she had Liam had broken up, she didn't have to find someone so early and sleep with him, and she would be the one at fault! But… Neveah suddenly stopped thinking, her eyes widening. Didn't Liam do the same? Why should she not sleep with someone else too? But her boss? Out of the question!
Nathan leaned on the wall of the elevator, a self-satisfied smirk on his lips as he continued to watch Neveah's internal struggle unfold. He was enjoying it all, her discomfort and even her subtle anger, all he could think of was how cute she looked.
"You're reading too much into this, Kitten." Nathan said, his voice low and seductive, "We're both adults, what's wrong in indulging ourselves once in a while. After all, you're not dating anyone and we had a moment of passion. No need to overthink it."
Neveah shot him a glare and he chuckled, "Easy for you to say, no one is going to fire you if anything happens, I'll be the one at fault! What will they say, that I threw myself on you just to get a higher position? Bullshit!"
Nathan's eyes darkened, he was about to say something when the elevator dinged and immediately it opened, a bunch of people were outside, wanting to come inside but Nathan stopped them.
"You can take the stairs, I am busy." And just like that, the doors to the elevator closed and they started going to the highest floor, where Nathan's office was.
"Great, you just gave them something to gossip about!" Neveah mumbled under her breath as Nathan stepped closer to her, he kept a safe distance but at the same time, they were so close.
"You broke up with your boyfriend? Why?"
"How did we get to this?"
"You're sad. I can see it on your face, your boss is trying to comfort you, aren't you going to take the chance?" Nathan smirked and Neveah laughed at the haughty expression on his face. She didn't know why but she felt compelled to tell him, or it might just be because she is just used to follow his orders.
"Well, he cheated on me with my sister. I caught them sleeping together or more like she made me catch them." Neveah told him everything and apart from a few snarky comments about Liam having a small dick and me accidentally comparing their penis which made Neveah laugh, he listened attentively.
Admittedly, speaking about it made Neveah feel better and he didn't judge, she didn't tell him about her inability to get pregnant.
"So, what are you going to do about him? He might start stalking you."
"How'd you know? That was the exact thing I was thinking about this morning. I want to exact revenge for what he did but I don't have any idea on what to do, I'm not exactly smart in that area."
"Well, first things first Kitten." Nathan slowly circled Neveah, his gaze intense and instantly, she knew that he had a diabolical plan.
