Still angry at Nardy, I decided to make him feel a little embarrassed. I smiled sweetly at Yuval and thanked him in a playful way.Even though Nardy stayed quiet, I could feel his cold energy getting stronger.“Looks like most of the seats are taken. Since I’m alone, it’s easier for me to sit with both of you. You don’t mind, do you?” Nardy said casually as he sat next to me.The moment he sat down, the tension in the air was thick. I really didn’t like him sitting close to me, and the whole situation was already awkward enough.Yuval’s expression changed slightly. He frowned when Nardy sat next to me, but he didn’t say anything. I felt sorry for him. No one would be happy if their date was interrupted by another man. Nardy had really crossed the line this time.I tried to ignore Nardy and avoided looking at him. I knew if I mocked him again, he wouldn’t let me get away with it. So, I focused on finishing my meal quickly, hoping to leave with Yuval soon.“Shayeen, did you get my flowe
Nardy gave me a cold look and said, "Make sure this is the first and last time. If it happens again, you're fired!"I stared at him as he stormed into his office and slammed the door. I was really angry and thought to myself, "He's overreacting! Other people have gotten flowers from their boyfriends before, but he didn’t say anything to them. Why is he picking on me? He embarrassed me in front of everyone!"When the door slammed, Millie looked at me with sympathy and whispered, “Shayeen, are you okay? Mr. Edwards really scared me when he yelled at you!”“Everyone has a bad mood sometimes, but he needs to know he’s being annoying too!” I said, still upset.Millie looked at the roses in the trash and sighed. “Such a shame. Your boyfriend must have spent a lot on those flowers!”Seeing the roses in the trash made me even more upset, remembering how Nardy yelled at me earlier. I felt embarrassed and angry. Why was he making a big deal out of nothing?I turned away from the roses and said,
Leaning closer to me, the man whispered sensuously in my ear.His slender finger traced the outline of my face and moved downward, causing my skin to heat up wherever it went.I knew I could easily lose myself in his tantalizing touch. With the last bit of sensibility, I pushed him away and stammered, "I... I'll take a shower now."My heart raced as I hurried into the bathroom. Frustrated with my own vulnerability in our relationship, I cursed myself for being so easily stirred by him. As I undressed and stood under the warm water, the anticipation of what was to come both unsettled and excited me.After half an hour, I turned off the water and realized I had forgotten to bring my pajamas.Nardy had wrapped himself in a towel, leaving the bathroom with only that. Feeling stuck and vulnerable, I paced nervously, unable to bring myself to move around naked, despite him having seen every inch of my body.
I didn’t look away from Nardy’s gaze. Even though his intense presence scared me, I refused to back down.“I’ll show you that the little lawyer doesn’t deserve your affection.”He said that, then turned and left.After leaving the office, I stopped by the supermarket to buy some groceries before heading back to the house in Birchwood.At home, I washed my hands and started cooking dinner. I was so used to living with Creza that I made two servings out of habit. As I sat at the table, staring at the extra food, my heart tightened.I took a deep breath and tried to stop thinking about anything upsetting. I picked up my fork and started eating. Just then, I heard the door open.I was startled and turned toward the door.Living alone made me feel uneasy, especially at night. There were always stories about break-ins and women being attacked in their homes.I tend to have a wild imagination, so I felt a bit nervo
It was a sleepless night for me. When I looked in the mirror the next morning, I sighed in frustration at the dark circles under my eyes.I made some breakfast but had no appetite. I only ate a little and then went to the office.I never thought Nardy would be serious about working at Joyful Success for half a year, but he actually set up his own office here.I glanced at the temporary CEO’s office nearby and started to worry about what happened with Nardy the previous night.Every time I saw him, I felt uneasy, and I didn’t know how I was going to survive the next six months of seeing him every day.Luckily for me, Nardy was a workaholic and ignored everyone else when he was working. He didn’t make things difficult for me either.Just before leaving work, I was organizing the files on my desk when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and felt a rush of panic when I saw that it was Yuval.I glanced at Nardy’s office, fee
Every time I was stuck in a difficult situation, I would always give in when he spoke.He was right; I had too much to deal with. Even though my dad was recovering well, he still needed a lot of medication after his recent surgery, and I was the only one in the family they could rely on.I had a younger brother, but he was irresponsible and never had a real job. Asking him to take care of our parents was too much. Honestly, we were lucky if he didn’t ask them for money.So, all the family responsibilities were on me. Life was easier when my dad was healthy, but now that his health was getting worse, I was starting to feel overwhelmed.“Since you can’t afford it, just forget your pride and listen to me,” he said, almost like he could read my mind.His attitude and choice of words annoyed me, but I didn’t have a choice.“Thank you.”Even though I knew he had his own reasons, he did offer me a place to stay, a
