Chapter 39: Chapter 39

“What the hell are you talking about?” Freddy lift his brows in awe.

“Don't pretend with me. Just take your phone, call back my father and tell him that it was a lie or a misunderstanding.” she keeps yelling without giving room for him to answer.

“Will you calm down, now!. Take a deep breath and start from the beginning because I'm lost?” she frowm lifting his eyes and brows in surprise. Freddy is still very confused and Natasha notices it.

“Wait, aren't you the person who called my father just a few minutes ago to report Sheila.” OMG, I have messed up she tells herself.

“I haven't spoken with your dad since the day I left his part.”

“Who is the person then?. OMG!… I'm so sorry for the disturbance. Don't tell anyone that I was here not even to Sheila.” with this runs out embarrassed.

I wake up from sleep. I move down the bed and I stretch up myself. I warm the food Anastasia gave me and eat. It's damn delicious.

While eating I pick up my phone to check my notifications “Bank Alert, Credited 20,000 dollars. Wow” I dance on my two feets this is about a ten months salary.

I'm so happy that I nearly drop my phone on the bed to celebrate without even checking the sender’s name or my other messages. When I see the sender’s name I'm saddened. Then I see a text message from the secretary of the head of the human resources of the hotel. This isn't good for me.

I read the message. The message is asking me to come and pick my stuff at 1 pm. I check my watch and it's 12 already. I quickly freshen up.

I move to the road trying to stop a cab but guess who stops right in front of me. Guess who?… Mike, the fuck boy with the very fine face. I'm sure under does his dresses is a very sexy body as he’s facing. Unfortunately, this my hypothesis will never be proven.

He steps down the car, coming to me “I can drop you wherever you want?”. I hesitate but do I really have a choice “Ok...” he immediately helps me to get in the car. After which he moves to his side of the car and drives off.

While he drives I narrate all the story to him. I don't know if he cares but I got to express my anger.

“I'm so sorry about your job. If there is anything I can do let me know.” he shows concern, good. “What you're already doing is enough, thank you.” I smile at him for the first time.

He parks the car in front of the building. He steps out to open the door for me but once he reaches my side I'm out of the car already. I don't want to get used to it. Haha...

Now, let me go and face my destiny. I take a deep breath before stepping into the building. He follows me. I want to stop him but why should I, I'm not more of a worker here.

How the other maids look at me makes me feel pathetic. They judge me without listening to my version of the story.

“This way Sheila” the mentor calls. I follow her to the corridor. I see all my stuff are parked in a carton waiting for me. “Sorry, but I had to pack your things for you as instructed. You don't have access to the worker's ward anymore.” she looks so cold and heartless.

“Thank you.” I simply nod my head. I'm not mad at her but I'm pissed off. I pick the box from the ground and move out of the angle.

“Let me help you.” Mike takes the box and he rapidly moves ahead of me. While someone discretely pulls me in and isolated the corner. I panic but he covers my mouth before the sound escapes.

“Don't be scared, it's me. Promise you won't shout?” I nod my head and he takes off his hands. “Why did you do this?, if they see us here they will believe everything they say about me is true. Please, I have to go.” I speak without shaking. My mouth says something but my body responds otherwise.

“If you want I can get your job back if that is what you want. Your wish is my command.” he caresses my cheeks and I love it.

“It's useless because if you get me back this job you will still make me lose it. Just see how we are standing here peeping lift and right like thieves.” I pout.

“You can't deny the attraction between us.” moves a finger on my lops. “Does it matter?. This can never work and I have to move on with my life.”

“I see… Who’s the guy with you?” I push his hand away from my lips.

“Does it really matter?. Why are you so selfish can't you respect my sadness. Is it too much ask. I just lost a job, my only source of income and all you are bordered about is you.” I scowl.

“I propose to get back your job for you and you refused what else do you want me to do. Let me and I will do it.” he gently clenches my hands.

“Just stay away from me. For your information, I lost my job because of a selfish man like you who thinks he can buy the world with his money.” I flinch.

“Okay, I will let you go for now if that is what you really want.” he perks me on the mouth and he leaves. Wow, it's like he did hear what I said.

“Hey, where did you go to?” Mike meets me halfway. “I was greeting a few friends. I will miss this place.” I'm kind of reluctant to leave.

“I know what I can do.” he smiles. “Oh, no no I don't want to do something stupid before leaving this place.”

“Dont worry, it's not something stupid. The idea are we go to a bar there and have some goodbye drink before we leave.” he points at the big bar near the reception of the hotel.

“Drinks here are too expensive, I don't want to owe you something more.” I hate being vulnerable in every aspect. “I'm offering don't bother about the money just have fun.” he holds my hands.

“Where are my stuff?” I remember. “In the car don't worry, we just take a few drinks.” then he pulls me along with him. We seat in the bar and we have some drinks.

After the fourth class of cocktails, I start feeling tipsy and I ask him to take me back home. He takes me to the car.

“Hey, Sheila, what are you doing here?” Anas meets me at the entrance of the hotel just by Mike’s car “What are you doing here aren't you supposed to be resting?” I answer with another question.

“I normally work during the day. I'm backer to the chief cook who works in the morning. Lady night I was just helping a friend.” she explains.

“I understand better. I came to pick my stuff. I was fired because I sexually harassed a man. Can you imagine that?. I never knew I so much power.” I laugh like a fool smile influence of alcohol. I'm not drunk I still have all my sense.

“I'm so sorry about that. We can chart some other time can you enter your phone number her?” I gives me her my phone number after that we leave.

At home, I fall in bed like a piece of wood while Mike takes my stuff in. He seats by me in bed. He looks at me straight in the eyes, with our faces drawing closer to each other like magnets.

“I have to leave. It was nice spending time with you.” he pecks my cheek so gently. As he presses his cold wet lips on my cheek it gives me a freeze chill down my spine and I slightly quiver. Then he gets up to leaves.

I grab the wrist of his arm and I pull him in bed and I start missing him. “Mike?” I rub my eyes “Its better you leave.” I move to the door and widely open it.

“But it is you who…” he’s speechless. “I'm so grateful for everything but you have to leave now. I'm sorry” I lock the door behind him.

“Wow, Sheila, you are a fool!” I hit my face. For some seconds I thought it was Freddy I was kissing. I can't even imagine if we went further than that.
