A Simple Favor 21 Asher
As I sit there, I can’t seem to get my mind to focus on what is happening now. My mind keeps going back to Sabrina. I guess I am the one who allowed what happened just now to happen. I never set boundaries between us before. I allow her to wear what she wants because I liked it and I gave her too much privilege. Now she thinks she can do whatever she wants. Thankfully, the meeting is over quickly, and all I can do is leave my father to deal with things. He will eat my ear off later for it, but now I think I have to right my wrongs. ‘’Sabrina, in my office now.’’ When she closes the door behind her, she smiles. ‘’Did you change your mind? Was the meeting too much?’’ ‘’No, I am giving you a warning. It is about the way you are dressed and for trying to fraternize with me.’’ She gives a laugh. ‘’You can’t be serious.’’ ‘’I am,’’ I say, then produce a folder that has the sheet for her to sign. ‘’This is your first warning, you should not wear those kinds of outfits around the buildi

I hear the door opening, so I turn. Expecting it to be Georgia back with the clocks, I asked her to buy. But I see that it is no one and guess that the wind must have blown the door open. Since yesterday, the heavy gust of wind has been doing that. This is just another reason why I can’t wait for the new door to come so I can change them. I plug the sign in that is hanging over the counter and get down from the ladder to see how it looks. I smile at my handy work, proud of myself that I manage to hang up the sign and the menu all by myself. ‘And Georgia thought I needed a man to do the task.’ I think to myself. ‘’So, this is it?’’ a voice asks. I turn around to see Sabrina smiling at me. She is dressed in even more prerogative clothing than before. Sporting extremely short shorts that show off her ass cheeks and what I'm guessing is a sports bra that has a hole in the middle to show off most of her breasts. ‘’Did Asher send you here?’’ I ask. Even though I doubt that is work att

When I get home, I keep glancing at Millie. She hasn’t said a word since giving me that goofy smile and asking if something happened between Sabrina and me. I just wish I know what she is thinking because she doesn’t seem affected by any of this at all. All she does is go to the kitchen and eat. I join her shortly after, and for a while, I just stare at her. ‘’What?’’ her brows knit together as she frowns at me. ‘’Are you alright?’’ She nods. ‘’Why wouldn’t I be?’’ ‘’The entire ordeal.’’ She gives a smile. ‘’I am not at all affected by any of this. The only thing I wish is that you would keep your women away from me.’’ ‘’She isn’t my woman.’’ ‘’Well, she sure as hell acts like it. But either way, I’m sure she won’t come around me anytime soon.’’ I narrow my eyes, seeing that she really does have claws. One of my bodyguards comes into the kitchen. ‘’Sir. We don’t know where the girl is sir. Her mother claims to have not seen her for a while now.’’ ‘’Then where the hell can
A Simple Favor 24 Millie
As I go about my business shopping for flowers as Georgia suggested, I notice I am being followed by Sabrina, who thinks she is being stealthy by wearing a hoodie and glasses. But it is obvious it is her from the short tight skirt she is wearing, and the tattoo on her left thigh. When the bodyguard and I turn right, she does the same. Not even trying to put much distance between us. ‘’That girl is following us,’’ I tell him. “I know, she has been for a while,’’ he replies. I glance back to see if she has any weapons. ‘’Don’t worry, she doesn’t check out. I have someone else from my team shadowing her.’’ I look over at him, wondering how he knows what I had in mind. But I can’t help but glance back again, because of the way she has her hands in the pockets of her pullover. ‘’Let's go in here.’’ He pushes me through the open door of a random store. There we wait to see if we would lose her, but she waits out front and keeps glancing inside. Our eyes meet and I flip her the bird

By nightfall, another piece of news broke that Sabrina was just an ex-employee of U Connect Inc. And is just upset that she got fired for stealing important information from the company. I roll my eyes as I read the post because if this is what Mr. Thomas means about taking care of things, it isn’t helping because that girl will be coming back. People like her don’t give up just like that. I scroll down them see them saying that the pictures were fake, someone even commented that it doesn’t look like Asher. There is also a detailed letter about Sabrina’s dismissal from U Connect, which led to her going off the rails and stalking us. Asher comes into the living room talking on his phone. I wave mine in his face and he frowns. ‘’Won’t this only make things worst, I’m sure Sabrina will get back at us in some other way.’’ The only thing he does is stare at me before going back to his conversation. ‘’It’s whatever.’’ Just as the words leave my lips, the front door opens with Mr. T
A Simple Favor 26 Millie
Your phone is ringing!” Georgia yells from where she is helping the men set the carpet on the floor. “I’m coming!” I yell back from the kitchen where I am unloading a box of pots and pans. I wipe my hands in the apron and just as I come out to where Georgia is, she says. “It just stopped ringing. But when she says it, my phone goes off again and I see Asher’s name flashing across the screen. I stare at it for a while, contemplating if I should answer. My finger hovers over the green button, and instead of answering, I place the phone down and walk back to the kitchen. I am still shaken up by what happened yesterday, even though Sabrina was being crazy a loony house shouldn’t have been the option. I don’t feel comfortable with it, and the more I dwell on it the more I wonder if they will ever do the same thing to me. Like what if our deal goes wrong and they feel as if I am a threat? He has the money to put me away and I have nothing, no one to help, or at least no one that would
A Simple Favor 27 Asher
When I enter the car, I see Millie smooched against the other door and I shake my head. Because if she doesn’t want to be here, then she can always leave. I can easily lie to my father and say she isn't feeling well. There is light traffic on the road, but even with that, we arrive at the restaurant with plenty of time. I didn’t want to lie, but she was taking so long in that room. But now I see why she looks so beautiful in that dress. And it doesn’t seem as if she put in much effort. And I have to admit that I can’t even take my eyes off her. She is a beautiful woman. I wait for Millie to come out of the car, only to see that she exists through the other door. Out of habit, I move to fix my jacket but remember that I am not wearing any. ‘’Good evening,’’ I greet the host. ‘’Reservation under Thomas. ‘’We have a packed house tonight. Let me just go check on table availability as the other party isn’t here as yet.’’ I nod, and he walks away. As I stand there, I hear Millie mumbli
A Simple Favor 28 Millie
Even though I am glad I am not included in their conversation, I still can’t help but feel left out. But what can I say, I know nothing about business and the only thing I know about U connect is that it is a telecommunication company. Other than that, I know nothing and all I can do is enjoy the music the live band is playing. Eat and sip wine, while they chat away and ignore my presence. I jerk forward when Yvette’s sudden loud tone of voice reaches my ears. ‘’I’m sorry, what was that?’’ I ask. ‘’Tell me about yourself.’’ ‘’Hmm, there isn’t much to tell actually. I’m from Queensbury, I came here looking for a job but I guess the universe had other plans for me because I found something completely different. And I am currently in the process of opening my own bakery.’’ ‘’Oh, that is all so wonderful dear, and I don’t believe in the universe but in God. Without him, non of this would be possible.’’ She pauses to sip her wine. I have to fight to not roll my eyes, because if only
