"Are you going to speak, or are you just going to stand there and stupidly stare at me?" Christian asked, not realizing what was going on with Mabel.After seeing that vision, Mabel was unable to think straight as all fear was stricken throughout her entire body. Why was she feeling so afraid as though she was the little girl who was dying? She didn’t understand but she understood that she was feeling weaker. "I'm really sorry sir, I didn’t mean to be late and I even woke up early but I fainted for some reason and when I regained consciousness, it was already seven thirty,” Mabel told Christian the truth, her voice sounding hoarse.Christian squinted his eyes at Mabel and he chuckled in amusement. Did she really think he was going to believe her cock-and-bull story?"Oh really, you fainted?" He asked sarcastically. "You have only worked here for a day and you're already feeling unwell?" "I know it’s hard to believe but that is what happened and I apologize for coming in late once

Mabel waited for the pain of bashing her head to come, but it didn’t. Instead, she felt a pair of hands hold her from falling.The last thing she saw was a frowning Christian before she closed her eyes and gave in to the darkness."Mabel" Christian called out her name but she didn’t respond. ‘Shit!’ he cursed in worry and anger as he realized he had overworked her. Without wasting time, he lifted her in his arms and walked towards a wall. He then pressed a button on the wall and scanned his finger. A door suddenly appeared and it led to a room. Christian carried Mabel into the room and placed her on the bed. It was his private room in his office where he stayed if he needed to work late. It was like his mini home equipped with basic amenities.After placing her on the bed, he brought out his phone and immediately called out his doctor to come and examine Mabel. ‘Don’t you dare die on me!’ he said to the unconscious girl on the bed.The doctor came about thirty minutes after Christi

“That long?” Mabel exclaimed. "Alright, Let's go," Christian said, ignoring her question.Even though Mabel wanted to mislead her father, she didn’t feel comfortable with Christian holding her in front of so many people. “Can you walk now?” Christian asked her when she was all set to leave.“Yes, I think so,” Mabel answered and Christian waited for her to walk so he could catch her if she fell. As she wasn’t fully herself yet, she walked slowly and Christian followed closely behind her.As she and Christian proceeded to his private elevator, she could feel people staring at her and it was really making her uncomfortable. Even though he wasn’t carrying her, it was obvious he was helping her keep her balance as he was closely behind her and for Christian who had an infamous reputation of not caring about anyone, it was shocking to the employees.When they arrived at the elevator, Christian pushed the button and the elevator door opened. Maybe because she was in an enclosed space but

“I have somewhere else to be so let me eat here,” Dorian said after he was done with the food in his mouth.Christian looked down at his phone to look at the time after which he turned to face Dorian. "Where are you going? It's late.”"Wow, are you concerned about me," Dorian teased.Christian rolled his eyes. "Can't you be serious for once?" He asked, looking fiercely at Dorian."Yeah, I'm not one of your employees to be scared by your glare so don't bother. I'm also as deadly as you" Dorian said as he glared back at Christian.Christian decided not to pay any attention to Dorian and seeing that, Dorian answered his question."I'm going to the club to hang out with my ex-girlfriend," Dorian said. This made Christian stop and turn to look at Dorian."Her again," He asked and rolled his eyes, "I thought you were done with her"Dorian laughed and said "I am done with her but looks like she isn't done with me and who am I to say no.""You're impossible, Dorian"."I know," Dorian said as

Mabel squinted her eyes suspiciously at Christian as she knew he wasn’t that nice to give her the day off. “I’m fine sir and frankly speaking, I do not want you to deduct any more of my salary,” she said. "Besides, there is a meeting today you said is very important and I need to be there for the presentation"."There are others who will handle it and your salary won’t be further deducted,” Christian told her. “I don't need you losing consciousness and forcing me to take care of you again.” Mabel didn't know how to react as she was still shocked that Christian gave her the day off. He was not a considerate person as he had just proven what was going on in his mind. “In what way am I going to get punished for ‘you’ giving me the day off?" Mabel asked.“Well you get to recover fully and I get to enjoy torturing you,” Christian answered as he stood up from his seat. “Find your way out of my mansion!” he said to her and he turned to leave.“Wait, how am I supposed to get out!” Mabel as
