“He is not my boyfriend!!” I pressed each word with more force than necessary.I shouldn’t be concerned about his opinion of my personal life but somehow, I didn’t want him to misunderstand Dean as my boyfriend.Why??I’ve no idea, I just don’t want him to be mad unnecessarily.“So then someone you hooked up with in the clubs??” His question stunned me and so does his calmness, but his eyes showed something fiery under them.Difficult for me to understand.“I am not a hooker…” I tried to keep my voice low and then leaned down as I gritted my teeth, “You know very well, I was a virgin when I slept with you…”“Oh, I feel honored.”He smiled sarcastically as he stared into my eyes and I stared back until I realized his hands came on my waist pulling me closer to him.Don’t lose your posture, Amy…Don’t… Stay Stern…I kept encouraging myself not to get misled by his seductions but I know as soon as his lips touch mine I am going to lose this game.Hence, keeping my remaining sanity, I pul

Considering all the bullies and gossip back in the office, I decided to refuse him straightly.“No, I am not interested in this offer…”I rejected him firmly and his eyes returned to my face with a slight look of shock.GOTCHA !!He wasn’t expecting my refusal…Well, I am unexpected, Mr. Derek Shepherd.With my head held high, I intended to look away from him with my newly grown arrogance when his next words crushed it brutally.“I’ll pay you, Amy, Double…”“Double as what??” I asked, bewildered.“Double as your salary…” He emphasized and my mouth dropped in complete shock.Double the salary, instantly my mind started the calculation of how much it would be and then how I could use it, where and when…But then again, didn’t it feel like I’m being a hooker?That thought instantly whirled my emotions.“No… I don’t think I could act well, Mr. Shepherd…” I shook my head with an excuse.Another refusal made Derek stunned and then groan of dissatisfaction escaped from his mouth.“I’ll add a

The air between us seemed to get tense as Miss Mills stared at me, and I stared at Derek while Derek stared at nobody, and very calmly picked up his cutlery to begin his lunch.BRAVO !!Giving me an unpleasing look, Miss Mills stomped away from the table.I looked around the table at other people who looked at me with slight pity.Why do I get the feeling that I am being used as a scapegoat??Derek stayed quiet and calm the whole time, and with the little chat on the table I realized that Sam is the half partner of the project Derek was supposed to sign on this trip.Till now the accounts they have provided have satisfied Derek and in a few days they would lock the deal.With the corner of my eyes, I noticed that Sam came in the same age circle as Derek or I would say a bit younger than him.He looked careless, carefree and a flirtatious man.I avoided his stare all the time until we finished the lunch and stood up to leave.“Miss Hood, can we have a minute, please?” He asked politely

The next two days were exhausting, Derek finally signed the deal with Sam and his partner, and sadly, my designs were still hanging in the middle.In these four days, I never stepped out of this hotel.Not even my body allows me to roam around the city and explore it.Day by Day, I am getting nauseous and tired.Whenever I would see Sam, Derek would come over as a shield and whenever we got bumped into Miss Mills he would make me his shield.I don’t know if I should laugh or cry at my luck.Nothing seems to be in my control.THUD“Arghhh…” Angrily I broke the tip of the pencil and then threw it away.I don’t understand what I am missing in my designs, I have no idea what to do.BAMI slammed the glass of water and then started to look for something cold to drink in the fridge.My heart is burning vigorously.I found a box of juice and pulled it out completely unknown by a dark presence behind me.“What the f….”BAMI dropped the box at the counter as I touched my thumping heart trying

“What am I supposed to do?” Once gathered around the dancers, I looked at Sam with a blank mind.He gave me a smirk and then hopped.I looked around, and everyone was hopping and then exchanging their partner while spinning around.I looked down at myself, kicking my heels away, I pulled my gown up and joined them.We hopped, we laughed, hooking our arms around the male partners we circled.HA ... HA ...I laughed as butterflies tickled my stomach and I was literally flying between the two men.Not caring about my gown or my posture, I dance happily and freely.CLAP … CLAPThe dance finished and the guests gave a huge round of applause to the group of young dancers.In the hall, where everyone was standing with pleasant smiles on their face there was only one person with an expression as hard as stone.Derek gave me a death stare which I am used to this whole week.Ignoring his snobbish behavior, I went in search of my heels whom I threw away carelessly while I was dancing.“Here…”Sa
