A Night With My Boss

“I’ve been wondering, where is Clara?” Alex asked her, glad for a subject change.

“She was very ill so she went back to her hometown to get some local treatment, she said she can only recover there…. Anything wrong honey?”

“No dear everything is fine, I was just wondering why I haven’t seen her since. I’m starving dear I would love to eat now” Alex said rubbing his stomach for emphasis.

“Well go take off your suit, wash your hands and come join us at the table. We’ll wait for you but you’d better hurry up if you want to eat some of the scones I baked this afternoon,” Petra said, galloping to the dining room.

‘So after her dirty deeds the cameras was the last job she had to do before running off to reduce suspicion, smart move Skyler you and your subordinates are playing this dangerous game well but two can play at that game’ Alex thought to himself ways he can protect Petra from his evil psycho ex girlfriend, how can he find the cameras in the first place? That’s the most important thing he has to take out her eyes and ears if not they’ll be two steps behind Skyler. The thing is where and how would they find it?.

Skyler closed the curtains of the room she rented, it was a shabby hotel with good rooms and poor furnishing but it was the best option if she intends to stay off the grid cause by now the police would be looking for her, she offloaded her clothes, her laptop, and a 4. 4 Semi automatic Desert Eagle handgun which she had bought from an illegal vendor. As she took her shower she reflected on the murder she had committed earlier today, Eva her very own best friend had betrayed her and she suffered for it so why is she feeling so sad about it? Why is her hand shaking when she touches the stainless steel of the shower handle? The whole thing replayed over and over again in her head and she blamed Petra as the cause of her mishaps, if she hadn’t have that affair with Alex things would have been normal, Eva would be alive, Alex and her would be happy and Petra would find love and be happy too but no, Petra just had to fuck things up. Skyler made up her mind she was going to kill Petra in the most terrible way, stabbing her would be too boring, shooting her would be too quick, poisoning her would be too easy and even more boring, for Petra no death seemed good enough.

After showering her hate for Petra quatripled, she was oozing out hatred like a heavy cologne choking innocent passersby, she was so engulfed in her thoughts of hatred that she didn’t hear the knock on her door. The knock came again this time more pertinent.

“Who’s there?” Skyler said, rousing from her thoughts.

“It’s me, the hotel chef, I am here to know what you would like to eat, ma’am” Said the voice from the other side.

“Give me a minute” She wore a robe over her still wet and dripping body then advanced to the door, she got a shock when she saw the brown skinned hunky stud standing at her door with his chef outfit a tad too small for his large toned biceps, Skyler stuttered what sounded like “Oh My Lord” and the hot chef smiled biting his lips as he accessed her wet body from head to toe.

“What would you like to eat, miss?” The chef asked again.

“Are you on the menu?” Skyler asked seductively.

“That can be arranged….. For a good price” He said, showing her his set of perfect white teeth.

“Any amount spent on a chunk of chocolate goodness like you is money well spent” She said pulling him inside, Alex had already chosen Petra over her so right now she wasn’t anybody’s property so she’s free to do as she pleases but as of the moment she’s the one about to be pleased. Revenge is sweet but revenge sex is even sweeter.

Emily thought about Liam all day and night and in her thoughts everything came into a brighter light, his eyes, his hair, his perfect teeth and smile. To Emily Liam is an angel sent to remove the pain of her past from her broken life so she reverses him highly, she makes it obvious that she’s in love with him but there’s just one problem.

“So you’re saying his girlfriend is coming back from her trip soon?” Emily said quite unable to believe that her cupid was about to be reclaimed by his rightful owner.

“Yes I’m pretty sure that’s what I just said” Petra said quite confused.

“But you said she was going to be on her trip for a while so what changed?”.

“Well she said she might be done with her work over there sooner than she thought so…. wait is this about Liam?” Petra asked with an inquisitive eye.

“And what if it is?”.

“You have to stop this lust over someone else’s man, It would lead you to destruction” Petra chided her.

“And who’s going to destroy me? That feeble Arianna? Oh please!!” The sarcasm in her voice had a lot of incentive behind it.

“You can have any other guy but why Liam?”.

“I can’t explain it alright, there’s a way he makes me feel… as if I’m no longer a sinner-”

“Now I know that you are officially over your head, how can he make you feel that way? Is he an angel or something?” Petra said laughing.

“Well laugh all you want it changes nothing and besides I can tell Arianna doesn’t give him 100% satisfaction in bed” Emily said rolling her eyes, Petra’s mood turned serious after Emily’s comment.

“You don’t know that….. You can’t know that unless you sleep with him, which you haven’t done since last time I checked!” Petra was getting furious now and it’s not just because of pregnancy mood swings.

“Calm down alright sheesh, I haven’t done that I know but I can tell from his behaviour that he has not been receiving the special treatment which he truly deserves” Emily purred the last part seductively to make her point clear.

“Okay now you’re just being weird”.

“Call it whatever you want to call it but I believe the French people call it….. Love….” Petra was getting exasperated now and she made it obvious.

“Look I don’t have time for this, I came here to ask you if you are going to accompany me to the grocery store?”.

“No way I’m letting you go grocery shopping with that bump on your stomach” Emily loved teasing Petra about her bump.

“I’m pregnant but I’m not handicapped!! Ever since Clara went on sick leave you have been the one doing most of the chores-“.

“And I am not complaining about it am I?” Emily cut her short.

“You are such a sweet plum for that but I want to go out of the house and see the city, feel the outside breeze you know…. I just feel suffocated”.

“How won’t you feel suffocated with that computer monitor that’s in your stomach?” They both laughed for a while before Emily finally agreed to take Petra to the grocery shop.

“Finally you are seeing the reason….. Alex can be unreasonable at times. I mean why keep me indoors all day….” Petra muttered to herself as she dressed up, rushing back and forth without a proper direction. As Petra dressed Emily’s mind strayed again to Liam, wondering what he was doing at the moment.

“What are you smiling about?” Petra asked Emily who didn’t know she was wearing a wide smile.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh….. Uhhh nothing it was a funny meme I saw” Emily lied about her thoughts, of course she had been thinking about Liam.

“You were thinking about him weren’t you?” Petra eyed her suspiciously, Emily flinched before answering nervously.

“What!! No, I have other things on my mind, are you set to go?” Emily asked, hoping to change the subject.

“Yeah I just need to get my scarf”.

“It’s a sunny day, what do you need a scarf for?”.

“It might get draughty”.

“You know what? Just act as if I never asked”.
