CHAPTER 14
She was stunned when she realized what she feels for Clayton, Red’s brother!. She must not love him. She knew that her feelings for him were hopeless because she was just a paid woman for him.
Clayton might even laugh at her when he finds out. She was too ambitious to even consider that there was a possibility that Clayton will fall for her.
Also, Clayton already loves someone. In case she forgot, she wants to remind herself.
Isn’t she becomes useless when the woman he loves comes back? It would only be a few months from now.
She stopped thinking those thoughts when Clayton squeezed her and buried his face in her neck.
“Hon…” he said softly while his eyes remained closed.
She looked at him again.
Did he just dream about Faith, his ex-fiancee?
Was “Honey” their endearment?
Again the little pain was there. She leaned over and hugged the man.
She wanted to do that as long as she could. Suddenly, all her doubts seemed to disappear from her chest, especially Clayton moved and hugged her tightly. Smiling, she closed her eyes to sleep.
When she woke up the next day, Clayton was no longer beside her but he left a note on the table.
EAT FIRST BEFORE YOU GO HOME.
I COOKED THIS BREAKFAST FOR YOU.
She glanced at the tray with the lid on the table as well. She seemed to tremble even at that little thing he did for her. She wrapped the blanket around her nakedness. She removed the lid of the tray and found fried eggs and fried rice there. There was also a plate with tocino and hotdog.
Red was really right, his older brother is loving and sweet if he wants to.
She ate everything that Clayton cooked for her with gusto. After eating, she also took a bath to visit her mother before going home.
That afternoon Clayton called her. He was asking her to get ready because he said he would pick her up at seven in the evening. He invited her to eat outside because they need to talk about something.
She was excited when he hung up the phone. She immediately chose a dress to wear. She chose the black satin dress. The dress emphasized her beautiful body. This would be the first time that she would wear a very sexy dress in public.
It was only six o’clock when she was all ready. Her outfit is quite revealing, especially with the cleavage. She heard the car stop in front of their house. Ever since she temporarily sent her mother to a nursing home, she has been alone at home. She hurried out of the house.
She saw Clayton standing and leaning against his car with his hands clasped in the pants he was wearing. It’s business attire. She thought he would appreciate what she was wearing but he just suddenly frowned when he looked at her from head to toe.
She was stunned to approach the man.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“You won’t dance and seduce me tonight so go back inside and change,” his voice seemed even more annoyed.
She was embarrassed and automatically looked at what she was wearing.
How many hours did she spend just to find the dress that she could wear for their dinner tonight? And that was all he could say to her?
Instead of doing what he just said, she approached Clayton with her head held high.
“Nighties and lingerie are the only clothes I left there,” she didn’t know why she chose to annoy him even more. Her heart was rebellious when he did not even appreciate her effort.
His eyebrows met even more and his disgusted look lingered on her chest.
“Fine,” the annoyance in Clayton’s voice was suppressed.
She was just surprised when he suddenly took off his coat and put it on her. He even buttoned all the buttons on the front. His face was still very serious as he closed every button.
“There, that’s more like it,” he added.
Her mouth dropped open as she looked at herself. He had already opened the car door so she could get on. She could do nothing but get inside the car since he was waiting for her to do so.
They stopped at an expensive restaurant. She was still feeling a bit awkward because she felt like he looked funny because of the loose coat that was overlaid on her dress.
He grabbed her arm and led her to a table. After sitting down, the waiter approached them immediately. Clayton ordered for them. When the waiter left, he spoke.
“How’s your mom?” his question.
“She’s okay. There’s been a big improvement and she can speak well already,” she replied.
“That’s good. By the way, what’s your plan after our five-month deal?” he asked as he took the wine glass and sipped the wine there.
Before she could answer, he added something else.
“Are you going to dance for another client?” he stared at her intently as he questioned her.
She was hurt by that question. She almost forgot that he knew her as a waitress at the bar who turned out to be his private sexy dancer so she couldn’t blame him if he still looked down on her.
“A-hmmm…” she didn’t know if she would tell him her plan or just let him think that way.
“I want to know because I can offer you a decent job at my office. I can make you an assistant to my secretary Mrs. Dominguez. You can learn a lot from her and even gain some experiences so you can use it when you think of working as well to another company. You don’t have to sell your body anymore unless you really like your job,” he lowered the glass he was holding.
She knew very well that he has good intentions on his offer but she could not help but be offended by what he said. She was hurt because of the way he made her feel because of those words.
“I want you to accept my offer, Sam. I’m forever thankful for what you’ve done for me. I don’t know what will happen to me if until now my manhood is still useless. Let me repay you and I want to improve your life with your mother,” his voice was gentle as he said that.
He even held one of her hands. Suddenly the pain she felt when she looked at Clayton’s face disappeared again.
She no longer wonders why her feelings were getting stronger every day.
“O-okay. Thank you,” she sparingly agreed.
He smiled at her and even squeezed her hand while holding it. It was the only time he smiled at her like that. She felt butterflies in her stomach because of the smile he gave her.
She was even surprised when they went home to his house after they had eaten. He did not speak until he stopped the car. He opened the car door after he got down. He held her hand to help her out.
She did not ask any more questions until they entered the house. He did not let go of her hand even when they are going up the stairs. They stopped opposite his bedroom and opened it.
