Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Brody's POV

I adjusted my tie as I walked into the organization Mr Bill worked for, I found a lady there already talking to his secretary. "Hello, I'm here to see Bill." I said and the secretary frowned.

"Do you have an appointment with him?" She asked.

Resisting the urge to insult her, I answered politely. "Yes, he called me over to his office. My name is Brody Taylor." I answered and the lady turned to look at me.

It was no other person than Karen. Embarrassed, I pretended not to know her. "I was actually hoping I would wake up and find you in the room this morning." She said and looked at me..

I avoided her gaze and walked towards his office, she swept past me and stood in front of me. "I'm talking to you, you're such a coward." She insulted.

"I don't know you." I lied.

Her eyes showed that she was very angry. "How can you say you don't know me?" She asked.

I was getting really embarrassed. "Karen, don't behave like an insane person." I told her and she stared at me, looking aghast.

"You used me and dumped me." She said and I frowned. I totally didn't understand what she meant by I used and dumped her.

My brow furrowed in consternation. "How?" I asked.

"We had sex last night and this morning, you're gone like it never happened." She answered and I looked at her shocked.

She didn't think so, did she?

I gave her a crooked smile. "We didn't actually have sex."

"I was naked, how can you explain that?" She asked.

I looked surprised and perplexed. "I'm a responsible man and having something to do with you is highly stupid. You're poor and I'm rich. There's a difference if you don't know." I answered and walked into Mr Bill's office leaving her shocked at the door.

Mr Bill looked excited to see me. "Mr Brody," He called out with a smile. "I'm glad to see you, your call sounded urgent."

"Yeah, my mother called, she's back in town and she wants to see my girlfriend." I explained, gently and he chuckled.

"Please have a seat," He offered and I pulled out a chair and sat down facing him. "I have someone for you, she should be on her way now." He added with a smile.

"You didn't find a rich girl for the contract, did you?" I asked gently but curiously.

He shook his head. "I didn't actually see a rich lady that wanted to accept the contract but I found a lady, her name is Karen." He answered.

I looked at him cautiously as the name sank into my head. It was definitely a familiar name. "Karen?" I asked and he nodded again.

"Do you know her?" He asked.

"Mr Bill, I'm here." A familiar voice said and walked in. As I turned back and our eyes met each other, we both shouted. "You!"

"What are you doing here?" She asked rudely, walking towards me.

I snapped. "I should be asking you that question, whore."

Her eyes widened and she slapped me. "You're a foolish son of a nitwit." She fired back and sat down on the chair.

I avoided her gaze and looked at Bill who stared back at me confused.

"I'm sorry but do you guys know each other?" He asked pensively.

Silence hung in the air as I refused to answer. "Yes, I know the bastard." She insulted and my eyes darkened with a frown.

I couldn't believe she called me a bastard. It wasn't coincidental that she was here, was it? She was the one Bill found to sign the contract. "First, she slapped me and now she called me a bastard." I told him angrily. Somehow, I managed to control my anger because of her false accusations.

"If I take this to court, I'll surely win the case." She threatened and Bill turned to look at me.

"Take what to court? Did you offend her?" He asked.

I shot him an annoyed look and he directed his questions to her. "Karen, what did he do?"

"He drugged me and had sex with me." She said and my heart hammered in my chest.

"You're exaggerating. I didn't drug you, you were drunk." I replied quickly, defending myself.

She tutted in disbelief. "So you're agreeing that you raped me?"

I frowned. How was it comfortable to create false allegations. "I'm not agreeing to that either. You were too drunk to know what happened."

Her lush lower lip quivered slightly. "How do you explain waking up naked, I always sleep with my clothes on. How did I wake up naked?" I asked.

"You..." I paused, I couldn't find anything reasonable to say. No one would believe me. It was totally pointless. "It's useless having this conversation with you." I added.

"You're so dumb, I might get pregnant after last night. Didn't you think of all these things before taking advantage of me?"

"I didn't do anything to you, we kissed and that was it. It was Michael who tried to rape you and not me."

"Brody, I also feel this conversation is irrelevant because I'm going to file a case against you." She said and my eyes almost popped out of its socket.

"For what?" I inquired, my heart terribly beating at a fast rate.

"For damages, you wanted to inflict bodily injuries on me."

"Really?" I asked with a smirk.

"It's not funny, rapist."

I looked at Bill and frowned. "Why would you have a mad woman as a client? I mean, it's clearly written on her face that she's not alright."

He frowned. "She's not just my client, she was my junior in high school." He answered.

I chuckled and looked at her. I felt myself tensed even more, I didn't know how to explain to her that nothing happened. She was drunk and we kissed but I didn't do anything bad to her.

Knowing the bad image it would bring for my company, I swallowed my pride. "How can we resolve this?" I asked.

"We aren't resolving any shit till you agree that you raped me." She answered with a smirk.

Looking at her, my eyes widened. I wondered if it was possible admitting to something I didn't do. "I didn't do it." I said, admitting no such thing.

Bill cleared his throat hoping to settle the case. "We should be talking about the contract not sex or rape." He reminded me.

"I'm no longer interested in signing the contract." Karen told me and stood up.

I looked at Bill, he could only shrug.

"To hell with your signature." I also told her and stood up.
