The amount of money he was willing to pay her was enough to make her double take, especially when the job was quite simple; just helping out Mrs Hally, a woman that already had no problem keeping her suite in order. Everything was always impeccable in her suite, which was why Anelia thought it ridiculous that he'd pay that much.Dexter saw the frown on her face. Perhaps the money wasn't

Anelia gulped and tried to wiggle her way out of Dex's arms; something that only served to further agitate her as she only managed to rub her chest right up against his rigid chest. Anelia sighed with much exasperation."Let go of me," she seethed, looking him right in those black orbs that were his eyes. Dex seemed to be taking pleasure in seeing her distressed; seeing her helplessly vulnerable in his arms.

It might have worked for her but, it was high time she stood up for herself.She had talked to Mr Furler that one time when he had literally schooled her about how, at La Vida, they had their

"You do realise that that doesn't really explain why he didn't do a follow-up to see if you were aware or not? And, how could you sign the contract without even reading the clauses, A? You didn't even know your employer was and now this? I should unfriend your ass right about now. Are you even listening to me?"Anelia looked around her at the dozens of tables in the break room. Some tables only occupied by a few employees and others none. She swept her eyes over one particular table. There sat the Dappers. They were conversing among themsel

"It's a mild fever, but I expect it'll clear in a few days. She needs to rest, keep warm and take it easy. I don't know what she has been doing, but it looks to me like her body was overwhelmed."Dexter nodded and led the doctor back to the living room. If he had been any doctor, their liaison would have ended there and he would have left. But, Doctor Payne was his friend from college days and he showed no signs of leaving soon.

Twenty-fourAnelia came to in the dead of the night and unlike the characters she had read about in a number of books, she was not overly disconcerted and immediately knew that she was in Dexter's room.
