DELIA "Maybe." I sighed. I went back to my work, hoping Levi wouldn't say any more words. I might actually break down if he did. And luckily, he didn't say anything. "Man, imma shove a shovel down this modafucker's arse," I muttered to myself. "What?" Levi asked. Woah, he heard me? It was just then I realized his eyes had been fixed on me. His fingers drummed rhythmically on the table as his cold gaze hovered around me. "Whoever drafted this contract is insane. They only wrote fifty percent profit. The problem with this statement is that it can be anything ranging from total profit to gross profit, and down to net profit." "It wasn't indicated." "Yeah, it wasn't. And if a contract is to be signed with this, it will incur losses as the company in question might choose to pay net profit rather than total profit." I explained. It was the only way I could express myself freely around him. Not that it was good being alone with him. He sighed and threw his head back. Was he thinking?
DELIAWork was going smoothly and I was happy because it was almost payday. But one thing still bothered me; my sisters' debt. There was no way I could give them all my salary and hopefully, they've all been keeping busy at home. Especially my dad. He did nothing to help my family but at least he should try to help out the girls he spoilt. I needed Clarence to sign some papers for a financial loan and I didn't want to go to his office myself. Clarence was the type of person that could do anything to anyone and won't feel any remorse. Instead, you might end up in a pleasurable act and forget it was forced. Yeah, he was that cunning. I remembered Lisa and dialed her office number. She appeared at my desk in no time and I passed the paper to her. "Make sure he signs it immediately and then bring it back. Thank you." I ordered and she left. It felt great to be on top. I could order anybody I wanted, not saying I would abuse my power. I decided to go through some records when Lisa walk
LEVI "We met during junior year and the relationship ended because I was moving away," Clarence explained, much to my astonishment. "And dude, I want her back. She's the best girl I've ever tasted and I need to get down with her again." He leaned forward with pleading eyes. "Come on, Cousin Levi, you have got to help me. You know, put in some good helpful words for me. Even if it's just once." "Are you crazy or something? Why would I promote sex between my employees?" I asked, glaring daggers at him. He was just asking me to let him have his way with my 'fiancee'."Well, what was her reply when you made advances at her?" I sighed, pinching the flesh between my brows. "She's proving hard to get. I know she's an easy one, but I don't know why she's acting that way towards me. I for reals fucked her on our first date. I wonder why she's acting like a kid." "Mind your language at work, Clarence." I cautioned. "If she doesn't want you, let her be. I heard everything she said in your
DELIA "Rejected? Excuse me, miss, but your man is a nuisance. I advised him to stay away from me because he was bugging the life out of me." I scoffed and looked at the disgusting man. He looked way younger than the woman that had just claimed him. "And you expect me to believe that nonsense?" She charged toward me but was immediately held down by security. The attendant packaged my goods and I left the drama scene, almost embarrassed. Deja Vu. When that mysterious lady from my former workplace accused me of stealing her man. Why was everything happening all over? I sighed heavily. In the end, everybody in this city is mad. I quietly boarded a bus back to the estate where I walked from the estate gates to my apartment. It was a long walk but certainly enjoyable because of the serenity. I noticed not many people stayed outside during the day. People mostly go out at night to get dinner, probably because they're too lazy to cook or they don't cook at all. "Finally!" I yelled as I
DELIAI stared blankly at sir Levi. He was also staring back and when I noticed I had looked for too long, I turned my face. Cook for him? I felt my cheeks turn bright red so I lowered my gaze. It fell on the floor while my fingers intertwined with each other on my lap. "Not for me only though." He sat up and placed his phone on the transparent table. "My grandfather wants to know how much of a cook you are." "Oh, when?" I asked, lifting my gaze back to him. "I will let you know when it's time. For now, I'm hungry." He groaned and laid back down. "Should I get something from the restaurant nearby? Their food tastes amazing." I offered cheerfully. "You'll love it." I stood up to go out but his voice stopped me. "That'd be too stressful. Serve me anything you have here." I turned to look at him but his eyes were closed. It was hard to understand him. One minute he's talking about cooking for his grandfather and the next minute, he's asking me to serve him some homemade dishes
LEVI Delia walked in minutes later, her body was covered with Javan's coat and her face was looking all wet and red. I figured she was still crying because of the shock. I noticed her eyes glistening with tears as she came closer. I offered her a seat and she sat down. "Delia?" I called out lowly. "Yes sir," Her voice cracked as she spoke, as though she would break into further tears. "Are you okay?" I asked. "No..." She broke down. She placed her head on her thighs as she cried. I could only watch as she was going through pain. I didn't know what to do, maybe compensating her would do the trick. I walked over to her and rubbed her back. She sniffled and wiped her face. "I'm sorry, sir." "No need to apologize." I cooed. "Don't worry, you'll be fine," I assured her and she nodded. But why happened to the strong, touch Delia I used to know? The old her wouldn't let anyone touch her and go scot-free. She did change, a lot. "If there's anything you want, let me know so I can get
DELIA What? A lesbian? I was as straight as fûck. Ewww... What would make me attracted to my gender? Gross! I was about to give the nastiest reply when the doorbell rang. "I'll be back," I informed and walked to the door. I checked the camera footage and it was Levi standing impatiently at the door. Huh? I thought he was going to send Javan as always. I opened the door without hesitation and he handed a box to me before walking past me. I already knew what the box contained and if I didn't know any better, I would have concluded he was spoiling me with nice dresses every time. "Sir, can't I just wear the one you sent earlier?" I asked, looking at the fancy blue gown showing from the transparent case. "Nope. My grandfather loves classy womb who don't repeat clothes too often and you being my---" He stopped speaking when he saw my guest. Shirin smiled at me precisely and stood up to hug him. Wait, what? "Levi, it's so nice to see you again." She grinned as she stared flirtatious
DELIA After grandpa Vito and I had finished eating, I began to pack the dishes we used to the kitchen. I wanted to do them but Levi appeared out of nowhere and ordered that we should leave immediately. I took the cooler and after saying goodbye to grandpa Vito, Levi drove out of the large compound. And like the first time we went for a visit, Levi was taking the route to his house. Not again! "Sir, can you please drop me at my apartment? I don't think I want---""That is not for you to decide." He cut me off. I kept shut and let him drive me to wherever. He stopped in front of his mansion and turned to me. "You are to wait till I come out. Do not go anywhere. That is a warning." He briefed and headed for the door. Why was this guy so bent on ruining my life? I didn't know when I screamed. I hit my laps with so much force that I felt pain. Why did I have to meet him again? Somehow I wished I hadn't taken the job. I was in bondage and I wasn't allowed to speak up or else, my entir
