Chapter 6

My heart seized beating immediately.

50 million? Oh god, what am I going to do? I was going to have a heart attack. I don't even have up to a thousand dollars. Where would I get 50 million from?! What was I thinking, I should have known everything in this house was expensive.

I look at him with pleading eyes, I noticed a smirk was forming on his face. How I wanted to hit that handsome face of his.

Handsome? Again?

I mentally hit myself. Why do I have to be so stupid?!

I looked up to see his amused face, only then I had realised I said that aloud.

Why does he look amused in a situation like this? I guess he enjoys seeing me suffer, and I hated him. He might be handsome and all but I don't like him.

"Please, I didn't mean to break the vase, I'd do anything to pay it..."

"Anything?" I don't like the way he said that.

"If you think I'm going to have sex with you, then think again!" I snapped at him, even when I know it was not the right choice right now.

"And why would I want that from you? You're solely not my type, sorry." He said blankly. I don't know why but I felt a pang of hurt.

That wasn't supposed to hurt me. It's been a long time since I felt this way... Since Jack threw me out of his house. I shook the feelings away.

"Good, because even if that's what you want, I'd have preferred getting arrested!"

"Really? And your child? What will happen to her if you get arrested?" He asked.

I never did think of that. I'm a bad mother.

"What do you want me to do, I'd do anything, except that."

"Except what?"

"That."

"Except-" I cut him off. "Just tell me what you want me to do."

"I told you before, all you have to do is accept my offer."

Really? That's how I'm going to pay him? How would that pay 50 million dollars? He's a multi-billionaire after all...

"Fine." I gave up looking down only to throw it back up to glare at him.

"What am I going to do as your assistant?"

"That's not how to talk to a person you owe a huge amount of money, now is it?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"S-sorry. What is the job all about?"

"Simple miss Hayden. All you have to do is schedule my meetings and correspondence, answer office phone calls, take dictations and minutes, arrange travels." He kept on saying so many things.

There is so much work to do. If I start working like this, then I won't have time for Carrie and I wouldn't even have time for myself.

"What about Carrie?" I asked him.

"Don't worry, she is already being taken care of, but I'd make sure you have time for her. But you will take her along with you for travels."

I am going to be traveling?

"Travel?"

"Yes, miss Hayden. Travel." He said blankly.

If that's what it takes to pay him the money, I'll have to do it... But wouldn't that take more than a lifetime?

"The pay is 90 dollars per hour." He said. Wait for what? He was going to pay me? I thought I was using this to pay him back for the broken super really expensive vase.

"P-pay?"

"Yes, miss Hayden. Pay." He said as if he was trying to get it into my head. I rolled my eyes at that.

"But why? I'm doing it to pay you back for the broken glass, not to get paid." If I get paid then it will feel like I'm taking money from him and adding it to my debt.

"Don't question me, miss Hayden. You'd start working tomorrow." He said arrogantly.

Immediately he left, I scoffed. But I didn't like the way I was feeling around him.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Mommy, are we going to stay here with Xavier?" Carrie asked.

That took me off guard.

"He's nice, he bought me ice cream." She said smiling from ear to ear.

After Xavier had left the room I was in, I had gone to the bathroom and did my business before coming to see her. She looked so happy.

"Uhm... For a while, then we would go back to our house."

She nods her head vaguely, I laughed and tickle her. She giggled. She was everything to me.

We stayed in her room that day. Xavier wasn't in the house.

Why was I even thinking about him, I shook the thoughts out of my head, but they wouldn't leave.

We explored the house together. She was busy jumping everywhere.

Soon it was evening. I gave her, her evening bath and tucked her into her bed. I didn't leave till she was asleep.

I kissed her on her forehead, then left the room.

I walked slowly to my room, why has Xavier been in my head lately?

I was about to pass Xavier's room when I heard moans coming from his room.

He was having... I walked quickly away from there, increasing my pace to my room.

I slammed the door shut as I entered. I could have brought Carrie with me but she seems to have liked that room.

I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and took my bath.

I had washed the cloth I woke up with this morning, so now I'm going to wear them.

I threw myself on the bed immediately after I was done.

________________________________________

I woke up when I heard an alarm. Alarm? Who put that there. Now I'm thinking of it.

Was Xavier here last night? Or someone else.

There's no other way you could explain the alarm.

I groaned getting off the bed. It was 6:30 am.

I went to the bathroom, took my bath, and brushed my mouth.

I got out with a towel around me, I just remembered I didn't have any cloth to wear. I groaned. I spotted a feminine suit. I walked up to it.

Okay, it was really expensive. What's up with him and expensive things?

I saw a note next to it. 'Don't question it, just put it on, work starts at 8 am. You have a daughter to attend to.'

The daughter part is true.

So, I put it on. I know it is not for me to say, but it looks good on me.

I was suddenly like a little girl whose father just bought a new dress and checked out herself in the mirror.

I quickly stopped what I was doing. I wore the heels. Oh gosh, how was I supposed to walk in this?

I took my handbag and went out of the room.

I stumbled on the way. I was going to Carrie's room.

Soon I was there. A lady was already there. I looked at her with horror on my face.

She was taking my place!!

I quickly walk up to them.

"Thank you so much for this, it means so much to me," I said to the lady.

"No problem ma'am" she replied as I continued what she was doing on Carrie. Soon she was ready.

We ate together.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I was in the car Xavier had me in. He didn't want to ride with me. I don't care.

But isn't what he was doing good? He was supposed to make me suffer. Not help me.

I sighed. Soon the car came to stop. I got out. Looking around nervously. I walked into the building.

I had someone guide me to the elevator I was going to take up.

I walked slowly because of my hills. Soon I reached the elevator.

I entered as the elevator starts going up, then it stopped.

I saw Xavier walk in. I thought this was only an employee elevator. The elevator moved again taking me off guard. I stumbled but he caught me before I fall.

I slowly opened my closed eyes to meet their hypnotizing eyes, Xavier. I got lost in it.

We've been like this for only God knows how long. The elevator stopped.

Someone walked in, seeing us in this awkward situation. I slowly moved my eyeballs to look at the person. My eyes widened.

Jack.
