Working for Klaus Chapter 13
I had groaned a weak 'yes' like the weak person I was. What would he gain by doing this? Why me? Why would he think that I was the perfect candidate to make his ex jealous? And his ex! Don't get me started on his ex. Why would she tell him straight to the face that I had convinced her not to marry him? I walked down the rocky path shivering as the harsh Newyork breeze hit my bare forearms without warning. It was a really bad day to wear a sleeveless dress. It was even stupid of me to try and meddle with what clearly didn't concern me. Now what?Niklaus Rogers! Damn, him! I hated him! I wish he never came back. I wish Jenny Rogers was my boss and right about now I would be at work thinking of how I'd walk my dog later in the park. Good hands, she had said. Only, Niklaus Rogers wasn't good. He was bad, good at the same time so villainy. It was hard to read him. It was hard to know what he thought, what he liked, who he was on the inside if he even had some sort of heart inside.Openi

One simple mistake. Scared of having the same nightmares and I somehow snapped. Like a mad man, I had reset the plan based on my emotions. Emotions of trying to seek redemption and emotions of gnawing guilt.On one hand was Isadora. The woman who my heart would gladly love. The woman who I had planned to marry and then make her life a living hell. Well that was until her father would lament his actions and then I would try to make our marriage more real and important, probably have two to three kids with her later. Isadora was my ideal woman, smart, brilliant, witty, obedient, had a body that most men would kill for, her being in love with me was an added bonus.And plus having had time to reflect on my past actions, I was selfish at that time. Running away as some sort of rebellion at my dad. Turns out my rebellion did end up being his death! But now Niklaus Rogers had matured both mentally and emotionally. On the other hand was her, Eleanor. The plan was to make her fall for me. Ma

"Can I take your things, ma'am?" Martin asked and I nodded.It was weird being in his house, more so staying in his house without my dog, Oggie to keep me company. I left Oggie back at Mrs Chang's hoping that he would be better off there. I couldn't just bring him with me. Who knows, maybe Niklaus had an allergy to dogs or maybe he didn't even like dogs."Martin will show you around,"Niklaus turned to speak to me disappearing upstairs to what I'd call his room.God, how would I manage to do this? What possessed me to even agree to him? My thoughts were in disarray, the unfamiliar environment was overwhelming, it was only after Martin calmed me down that I somehow embraced the whole beauty of the house."And this is the kitchen,"Martin smiled and I went to the huge fridge opening it and gazing at the different types of foods. Cheese, a lot of greens like lettuce, asparagus, broccoli, cucumbers, eggplants, kales and worse of all cauliflower. I hated cauliflower. Next to the greens was t

"This one would look good on you,"Paris complimented and I rolled my eyes.Eleanor twirled admiring the sequin dress and truth be told, the dress was a little sloppy. I wasn't good with women's clothing so the fact that I missed an important meeting to be here beat me. Her worried doe eyes made me stay yesterday. She didn't beg but I could see her uneasiness yesterday, how she fidgeted her fingers, how her thoughts travelled away when I told her to look good for Blaze's Charity Gala.I was here because I knew Martin couldn't handle everything alone. That he couldn't handle her. Her attitude, her curiosity. Like the good man I was I offered to help and I was immediately regretting it. It was either the dresses weren't fitting her or either she didn't like the dress or either Paris and her compatriots thought that the dress didn't represent Niklaus Rogers' girlfriend soon to be fiance very well.I didn't want to contradict her on the 'fiance' part. I hoped it wouldn't reach there. That

"Wait you can't leave me here with her-" I desperately called and Niklaus blindly ignored me disappearing into the crowd."Eleanor!" Isadora called and I turned around wiping a disastrous smile."Isadora"The blue dress she had on hugged her curves perfectly. The red lipstick she has on shimmered against the lights. Her heels? Damn, I thought my heels were killer but hers? They must have cost her a fortune! "Fancy seeing you here. You are with Klaus?" She asked taking a glass of champagne from the the waiter passing by."Yeah. I mean we came together,"I tried playing dumb. Pretending that I only accompanied my boss not my boyfriend."As his assistant?"she asked and I took a huge gulp of water."Y-yes""Thank God. For a moment there I thought that you two were...a thing! Sorry, people have been talking and getting to my head but of course you don't love him. You said it yourself he is not the right man. For anybody"And guilt quickly ate me from the inside. I was a terrible person w

He caressed my hair so gently and I grabbed his shoulders tightly not wanting to let go. Only after seeing the black stains on his shirt did I part from the hug taking a step back."I-i'm sorry for everything. F-for the mess on the shirt"He stared at his chest, the realisation that I had ruined his shirt dawning on him."Don't fret over it. Are you okay?""I am,"I lied."Let's do this again. Hey Elen, are you okay?"I hesitated. He could see right through me. I wasn't okay. Not at all."Am not, John. Everything- everything is hard. I can't. I can't take it,"I said wiping my tears with the back of my hand as fast as they came."I get it, Elle, there's no pressure in telling me what happened. Let's get you home"But I didn't want to go home. I didn't want to his face. I didn't want to face him. Not now. Not after everything he had done."I know it's too much to ask. But anywhere-take me anywhere but home"He removed his coat wrapping it around my shoulders before he took my hand, usher

She excused herself to go to the bathroom. Was it soon? Did I break the news too soon? But we had agreed on this hadn't we? Sooner or later I would have had to introduce her to the world so that everyone including Isadora could know we were dating right?I hated the guilt I felt everytime I hurt her. I failed her years ago, two decades later I was still failing her. She had taken a whole lot of minutes in the bathroom and I was starting to get worried. Blaze told me to give her some space, that she might have had something going on with her 'periods' .Did women faint when it was their time of their month? Or did they faint when they were pregnant? I mean I hadn't seen Drizella faint back when we were kids when she was on her month, what made Elle any different?"Congratulations Rogers, the girl is a gem,"Mr Jones patted my back and I smiled back with a thanks."A gem indeed" Isadora spoke right after Mr Jones left."Thank you. I'm glad you see it too. That she's a rare gem in my life

"She refused the food, sir,"Chica came into my study room for the second time.She hadn't talked to me since we arrived home last night. And like a child she had locked herself up in the guest room allowing only 'her friends' in the room. Drama. I hated drama and she unlike the women I had met in my life, had a lot of drama. Kenny, the division's manager had called me to check whether I had the dossier for the Mill project. I had perused every document in my study room and yet not a single sight of the document. I needed a secretary asap. With Eleanor now my girlfriend, I needed a secretary as efficient as she was otherwise no work would be done for the past couple of weeks.I didn't like taking a day off from work.
