Chapter 28 - 28

He chuckles once again and he gives her a charming smirk as he leans against the wall and he crosses his arms. "Hey, I'm here to check and see if you're okay. I'm also here because I care about you. I'll admit that I am slightly interested in you, but I'm here for you. I'm not faking anything, I want to make sure you're alright."

"What are you even saying?" Megan was not amused. She didn't buy his words at all.

Apollo grins and he speaks in a playful, amused tone. "Come on...you know I'm speaking the truth."

Megan felt like laughing in his face but thought the decent thing to do was just shut the door in his face and end this weird encounter once and for all but it seemed he had other plans. Apollo stops her by placing his hand on the door, preventing her from closing it."Come on...just answer one simple question for me."

She glares at him unamused but reluctantly agreed. "What do you want?"

"Does Roman treat you right?" He asked with a straight face.

Megan scoffs, "What kind of stupid question is that?!"

He blinks and he sighs as he removes his hand off of the door and he speaks in an agitated tone. "It's a pretty straight forward question actually. Do you really not get what I'm getting at here?"

"Yes I don't." She angrily told him wanted this encounter to be over.

Apollo lets out a sigh and he speaks in an irritated tone as well. "Okay, I'm going to get straight to the point now. Do you think that Roman is a good man for you? Do you think the jealousy is going to get better instead of worse?"

"Roman is your brother. What the hell are you doing right now?" 

Apollo sighs once again and he rolls his eyes. He can't believe that she's ignoring the question. "Look, Megan, I only want to ensure your safety and wellbeing. Does Roman treat you right? It's a pretty simple question."

"Roman does! He takes great care of me and soils me rotten! He makes me feel happy and safe most of the time and yesterday was his first transgression...I won't cancel out all the good he's done due to a mistake he made."

He scoffs and he speaks in a frustrated tone of voice. "You mean yesterday was the first time that you caught him? The last I've observed him he was already jealous and possessive over you. Yesterday wasn't a mistake. Him getting that angry or jealous or possessive wasn't a mistake. It was just him showing his true colors. He's jealous and possessive. He's always going to want to keep an eye on you and make sure no other man is giving you attention."

"Can you stop it Apollo? What's gotten into you!" 

He stares at her with a blank look before he gives her a cold and unforgiving look. "What's gotten into me? Are you serious? I'm only looking out for your well-being. Your life. I just want you to be safe. I want you to be treated right."

Megan didn't get him. He went from being cold, to oddly nice to being "concerned" about her well being which sounded ridiculous to her.

"So what? You think your brother's a horrible monster who's going to hurt me?"

"Honestly..." Apollo sighs once again. He has a hard time telling her, but it might just be good for her to know. He might be crossing a line here, but he feels like she needs to hear this.

"Yeah...I think Roman may very well end up hurting you in the long run. It's only a matter of time until he becomes more possessive of you and it may end up getting worse."

Megan rolls her eyes, "I guess I'll prove you wrong." She shuts the door in his face 

He slams his hand on the door forcefully as he feels the heat rising in his face due to his growing anger. He knows it's his own personal problem, but he doesn't want to back off. He wants her to listen to him and to see his side. He speaks in a cold tone of voice through the door that he's now slamming his hand on. "You're making a huge mistake, Megan. You should know I'm only trying to help you!"

*******

Roman's office is decorated in a very elegant and elegant fashion. It's full of high class furniture, a large window, and a large, wooden desk. The room also has wooden floors and the walls are painted in a dark crimson brown.

Megan sat in his chair after being let in by his stunnig assistant. She was a tall blond with an amazing figure, she introduced herself as Lauren and gave Megan snacks while she waited for Roman.

Megan wanted to make up with him and clear up everything between them. She so strongly wanted to show Apollo that he was wrong and he had no idea what he was taking about. 

After the one hour mark Megan had enough of the skyline views and started looking around his office. She thought she'd find something interesting or fun.

She ends up sitting in his chair and pretends to the owner of the office. Megan wanted to one day be a business owner and could already see herself in a nice office that wasn't as huge as this one but nevertheless still as beautiful and elegant.

When he enters after what felt like forever Megan gets up from his chair flustered that she was even siting there to begin with

Roman had just finished his meeting and as soon as he saw her seated in his chair, he couldn't help but smirk and he chuckled a little.

"I see you've made yourself quite comfortable in my chair. I don't see a reason to kick you off though. I'll let you continue to sit there."

"I came to talk...I am sorry I got bored and started messing around in here."

He chuckles once again and he speaks in a playful tone. "I didn't mind it at all, though. I don't know why, but I kind of like that you made yourself at home here. It's cute."

Megan rolls her eyes sitting back down in his chair. "Look Roman. I came to talk about the gala night seriously and how it will effect our relationship moving forward." She wasn't smiling any more and had her game face on, Roman was going to listen to her and he was going to respect her, come hell or high water.
