Chapter 26: Chapter 26

A while passed and I heard a come in, I slowly but surely pushed the door open and walked inside and closed it back as I made my way to the grumpy man half sitting on his wooden desk. I stood to the sides like an obedient child with my head lowered.

If I were to stand with him. I swore I would look like his little daughter although my features weren't so timid, I was a lot bold and confident but with Victor he made me seem like a scared little girl who had to be obedient to him and that was not what I liked

I stood there watching him and I saw that he had turned the computer on and he was typing something. He seemed relaxed although I only saw his back and the sides of his face. Of course, even if I didn't wish to have anything to do with a man then I didn't notice someone's beauty.

However, I had to say each time I saw him, he looked even more handsome. Especially now that he was wearing black sweatpants with a black cotton sweater which exposed his neck and a little of his chest area not sure if his sweater was loose in front but I found myself looking at his face without blinking

I grew tired of standing there hence I made my way to the other side where they were two brown leather couches and I sat down

The man didn't move from his position and was just doing his work. I failed to understand his behavior, did he know I was there or was he trying to make a fool out of me. I grew tired of sitting and my eyes were getting drowsy hence I pushed myself up and yawned loud enough for him to hear. Yes, I was done and tired of his bossy ways. I was his helpless employee but that didn't mean he was allowed to treat me in such a way

"Sir..do you need anything?"I finally asked badly as I made my way to him. I didn't even fear him but stood close to the desk and peeked to see what he was doing.

"Any problem?" he muttered more to himself and I frowned at his words. What did he mean by any problem? I had enough problems already of having to tolerate him and now he was acting so innocent before I could fire back he spoke

"Miss Payton you stole from me," he said unexpectedly as he slapped his laptop shut, got off the desk and looked at me with a blank expression, and walked behind his desk, my eyes widened in awe, I didn't know what he meant but when he lowered down to the desk as if getting something.

I was even more dumbfounded when he took out a familiar piece of paper and put it on the desk. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes shifted to his face then back to the small paper ripped off from my notepad. I thought victor would smile at me but he remained as cold as ever

"Well...I…"I stammered to say but I was too nervous to get rid of the dry lump stuck on my throat. So he knew about me but he ignored it. 'Oh god I'm doomed'  I scolded myself mentally and facepalmed myself feeling awkward

"Next time try not to involve yourself in other people's affairs...that's been ill-mannered..." victor said in an angry voice as he walked past me slightly brushing his hand with mine, I stood there frozen but I sensed him stop and my heart raced even more "This is a warning...do what you came here for and don't even think of going against me because they are consequences" saying that I heard retreating footsteps, the opening and closing of the door and only then did I snap back to reality

"Really?"I scoffed as I turned to the door, I couldn't believe his words. All I did was help him that night and here he acted as if I pried in his private affairs

"Such an ungrateful man" I muttered disdainfully and stomped my feet hard on the floor and walked to the door. I didn't know rich people were so ungrateful, I lost sleep just to make sure he was safe and here he treated me like some insane girl.

I left the study room and was about to go upstairs when Julia approached with a huge smile plastered on her face

"Sir said it's time for your dinner"Julia informed me as she guided the way to the dining room. Just like that, he started ordering me around. How dare he tell me what to do. What if I wasn't a hungry "jerk"? I mumbled in frustration as I sat at the long dining table all alone and waited to be served.
