Chapter five

“You disgusting man. You splashed water on me and just drove off without an apology”I snarl

at Harleys boss. His eyes widened. Harley stares at me dumbfounded .

“I beg your pardon” he growls in a husky voice and smashes his hand on his desk. He thinks he can scare me with that. “Bring your voice down. You can not scare me with shouting. You have no manners at all. How can you splash water on someone and couldn’t even have the courtesy to apologize even when you knew?” 

“Jane..” Harley says. She holds my hand and tries to restrain me from talking. I pull my hand out. 

“Who are you and what gives you the impetus to barge into my own office and spew nonsense? Do you know who I am?” He thunders and frowns. He furrows his brows and clips his lips together like a male version of Mona Lisa. 

“I don’t know who you are and I do not even wish to know such a despicable person as yourself. Someone who doesn’t know simple etiquettes. Disgusting!”i roll my eyes and squeeze my fist. I just wish I can throttle him. He totally humiliated me in the public that day. I just came to leadCity and that was the first welcome I got from him.

“Jane, calm down,”Harley says. “Harley, who the hell is this that you brought to my office? Do we now train bulldogs here?”He spits. My eyes widen on hearing.

“How dare you call me a dog? Huh?“ I point a finger at him and grind my teeth. So much arrogance in him. 

“Jane let’s go now” Harley grabs my hand and drags me outside. I yank my hand off her grasp. 

“What was that?”She asks with a chunk of sweat on her forehead.

“That asshole there is the one I told you that used his stupid car to splash water on me. It poured from my head to my toe. He saw what he did but he couldn’t even apologize. All he did was drive off.” I explain, titling my head angrily. 

She still looks at me perplexed. “Oh. I’m sorry about that. But why did you have to speak to him in that way? Come on Jane.” My eyes broaden in shock.

“Are you serious right now?  What way did I speak to him, when he poured water at me without apologizing, did he think about the way he acted?” I really can’t believe Harley is saying this. She was the same person who poured curses at whosoever did that to me. She even said I should not forget to slap him whenever I see him and now she’s acting cold.

“I know but, you know he is my boss and trust me he is not someone you want to toil with. Mr Atlas Warlock is the most feared Billionaire tug in the whole of leadCity. Everyone knows him.” She explains. 

I walk close to her, gawking into her eyes. “I… don’t… care”I drawl.

It is a sunny afternoon after last night's uproar. Harley tried to talk me into apologizing to the over pompous man so I can get the job. I bluntly refuse. I rather remain jobless and poor than work for a proud scallywag. 

She is not home right now. She went out to get groceries. Dolly is in the sitting room, mimicking the voice from the television. I am just on my bed and reminiscing on yesterday. There is this peace I feel after pouring out my anger. But then I don’t think what I did is only about the splashing of water. I also poured out the anger about Liam and Sarah. As much as I try to get over it, I still think about he betrayal as it is still fresh in my memory. It’s a scar I don’t know when it would heal. 

The door bell chimes. “That’s quick” I    breeze under my breath. Harley just left a couple of minutes and now she’s back. I stand up from the bed lazily and head to the living room. I open the door with a smile. My countenance falls as I see someone else. Its Kyle.

“Hey” he says with a straight face. I’m really in deep shit. From one horrible person to the other. My life is really a mess.

“Harley is not around”I don’t want to engage in a long discussion with a woman beater. As soon as I saw him, the only thing I remember is the slap. 

“I didn’t come to see Her. I came to see you” he smiled and a dimple punctures his right cheek. “I don’t understand”

He passes by my side and walks into the room. I lock the door and look at him confuse. I’m still wondering what he wants to see me for. He looks quite funny with the pink shirt he is wearing. It doesn’t suit him one bit.

“Yeah, I came to see you” he walks to me, with a devious smile. He uses his right index finger and brushes my shoulder. 

“ I beg your pardon” I wince  and give him a stern look.

“Come on, stop acting dumb. Do you want to tell me you didn’t notice the way I stared at you yesterday?” I contort in befuddlement. “ how did you look at me?”

He scoffs and shrugs with a twinkling short laugh. He walks to my side, looking at me perversely. “In plain terms, I want to fuck you” he says without any form of shame. There is this sinking energy in my stomach.

“Is this a joke or something?” I quiz. “No, I don’t do jokes. I know what I want and I want you.” He adds. It’s clear to me that humans are even more disgusting than werewolves.

“Leave right now, and I am going to pretend nothing happened here.” I clench my fist to control my anger. He bites his lower lips and winks at me. 

“But I don’t want to leave. I want you and I am going to get you baby. I know you want me too” he rubs his disgusting hand on my right arm. I flinch and push his hand. “I’m warning you, leave right now or else I am going to tell Harley how despicable a man you are!“ I say, sticking a finger out which I point directly at him.

He chuckled and shakes his head. “Go ahead and tell her. So in your timid mind, you think that fool is going to believe you?” He laughs briefly. “ I have Harley in my palm and there is nothing bad about me that she is going to believe. She loves and adores me far too much to even believe a word from you, so go ahead and tell her.”he  snickers. I confirmed that today morning that truly She adores him. I tried talking to her today about last night slap but she didn’t even allow me finish. She claim it’s a kind of love language and she knows he loves her. I really can’t understand  it. He comes closer to me while I move backwards.

“You better don’t come close to me or I swear you are going to regret it”i point my finger at him. 

The door bell chimes. I quickly rush away from him and head to the door. At least now Harley is back, she can see for herself who she is in love with. I grab the door and open it quickly. 

“You again?” I voice in astonishment. It’s Mr Atlas. He stands looking at me

With a scowl. Actually the facial look is mutual. Two horrible people in a day. What have I done to deserve this? 

“What are you doing here?” He asks. The Effrontery.

“You as well, what are you doing here? “ I snap back at him. We both glare at each other, gnashing out teeth…
