Three days had past and Matilda had been miserable, drowning in boredom and loneliness. Her room was dark and messy, everything had worked against her and she was partly depressed for those three days, except she wanted to live. At least if she must die she must see the bright part of life first. Today, she had decided to return to her part time work at the bar, Kim had called several times but she never answered nor returned her call. Marcus her boss was probably very mad at her now. He must hate her by now. She dragged her feet lazily as she began to clean up her room. She needed money to feed at least. Once she was done she grabbed her waste bag to dispose in the general refuse bin. The moment she opened her door, two panting dogs and Edward the Graham's house steward, greeted her. "Good morning Miss Matilda," he greeted with a forced smile plastered on his face, Matilda returned the fake gesture, then her face squeezed into a frown as she looked down on the dogs."I thought leav
Andre sat before a keyboard in his office, with James, his assistant, standing beside him. He appeared to be putting Andre through something."... And the dog appointment is tomorrow sir."" Push that to next week, I'll head home first to see the decoration process." Andre said, his eyes still glued on the keyboard. His house was going through some furniture changes and he had obliged to his mother's persuasion to get a new dog. With the success of his company, he was too occupied at work that he had not made out time to visit Matilda again.She must think he was a jerk who just stole kisses from her. He wanted to see her as badly but he wanted everything to settle down, so he'd treat her to some nice dinner."What's next?" He asked, feeling exhausted already."I made serious background checks on lots of sugar babies and I've compiled a list of the top and best ones. They have really awesome reviews." He turned the laptop slightly towards him and began navigating through the page.
"What's going on here?" She stilled hearing his voice. She was definitely going to be in trouble if whatever was inside that box was broken. She remained fixated on the box as James walked towards it. He began unwrapping the box while Matilda tensed up."It's still intact." He said, Matilda breathed a sigh of relief and could hear her supervisor sigh behind her."Matilda?" Andre called, he had been staring at her the whole time and even though her oversized uniform made it difficult to recognize her, he was still able to get a clue that it was her. "You know her?" Her supervisor asked."Uh- not very much. Just..." Andre stuttered not knowing how to explain how they got to know each other. "Newbie, won't you turn around to apologise at least. You're already so much of a headache to me. I shouldn't have employed you in the first place...." He continued nagging, while Matilda kept her back against them. Thankfully she had not destroyed the item, otherwise, how was she going to pay for
She didn't question him, but for a stranger, he certainly could see through her and tell that she was battling within. They remained silent throughout the ride. It was a calming long ride. The windows were down so she splayed her hands out so the breeze could slap against them. Andre had stolen several glances at her on the ride and was relieved to see that she was peaceful. He had no idea what she was going through but he wanted to know at this point and be a part of it. Now that she was his sugar baby, actually, about to be, he would make sure she didn't go through her problems alone. This was supposed to be a contract relationship, but this time was different and he knew that he was already having feelings for her."A beach house!" She exclaimed as she got out of the car. Andre was standing behind her as she stared at the building before her. It was magnificent and the pool side was hilarious. Enough space for a massive pool party. Andre sure loved luxury and went a little extra
She had no answers to her questions, so she surprised her self even further as she went in again for a deeper and longer kiss. The moment her soft lips locked with his succulent ones. Her entire body was ignited and before she could take another slide Andre had pulled her away. She couldn't believe it, he had just pulled away from her kiss. She felt really embarrassed not being able to decipher his expression so she ran. The only way she could escape from such embarrassing situation.what are you doing standing there? You should go after her. The voice in his head spoke. She probably felt bad thinking he didn't want the kiss but in reality, he had only pulled away to stop himself from doing something she wasn't ready for. She already saw him as a lustful person. He didn't want to prove her right especially not today."Mati!" He called as he went after her."Please don't come after me... Please don't." She muttered still climbing the stairs in a haste. How was she going to face him whe
She stared down at her phone even though Andre had left her with a parting kiss on her cheek. He had said it was a sweet token but she still couldn't believe it. By the time she snapped out of her shock to dwell in the reality that he had actually doubled the amount, she fell back to her bed excitement blooming all over her. She sat up releasing air through her mouth. Everything was going to go into debt paying but it didn't matter at all. At least the dogs were useful even though she felt bad about selling them, they were in good hands and she'd probably see them again.A message popped in and it read, "My driver will pick you up tomorrow for the change of ownership." Andre was really particular about this process. Was it that he didn't trust her to show up? She waved the thought aside and went into the shower to freshen up. Once she was out, the first thing her eyes caught up with was her laptop. The images of how many times she shut down the laptop due to no clients popped in he
On the morning of the day she had to transfer ownership to Andre, Matilda was woken up by several calls from Bruno, the second Graham son. She waved the bulk of her dark hair to the back as she reached out for her phone."Bruno?" She was rhetorical. Ever since the reading he had never contacted her and she had resolved not to have anything to do with the family again.Free for lunch today? Read the message that popped into her phone. She was hesitant as she didn't know what to say to him. She tossed her phone aside and strode into the bathroom to freshen up. She needed to get to the office at 10 a.m for the transfer of ownership. It was a good day for her and all the burden she had felt all along had been lifted. She was debt free now and the taste of freedom was green as life. She packed her hair into a porny, picked a tiny little bag which she hung across her shoulder and pecked her lips with a white lip gloss before leaving. The moment she got into the building, she sighted Jame
Matilda turned in her sleep as her ears itched with irritation from the sound of her alarm, she needed to be up early for her big day, the day she got to sign her contract and meet her client. "Shut up already!" She said, her fingers working clumsily in search for the alarm at her side table. She finally put it off, sitting up with the length of her hair covering up her face. She rolled herself out of the bed only to sit up sharply as if realizing she had to get herself ready for the day. The buzzing sound from her phone halted her lazy steps towards the bathroom. Her brow hiked wondering who could be calling at that time. The number had no name on it but she had her suspicion. She had been texted the other day by her client's management team on where and when she needed to be for the contract signing. On second thought, it could be Bruno calling with a different line so she wouldn't know it was him.She quickly reached out for the phone to pick the call."Hello...." She answered."H
