Chapter Seventeen : We should kiss Again (1/2)
Maya's POV
This absolutely wasn't happening.
It happened that I ordered for my things to be moved to Nik's place since I was a live in nanny but I never expected it to arrive so soon nor for him to change my clothes and accessories as soon as it barely arrived
”Seriously, what were you thinking?” I almost yelled at Nik who was standing beside me looking at me like a confused puppy who did wrong for the first time and was being reprimanded by it's parents
A cute confused puppy at that
Come on Maya , let's be real
”I'm guessing that's not a 'thank you' ” Nik barely said as I rolled my eyes in disbelief
”Does this look like I'm complimenting you? For Christ sake ! You ransacked my things and changed it without my permission. Why would you even do that?!” I yelled this time with my hands flying in all direction.I just couldn't get him, doesn't he have the word 'permission' in his dictionary
”Don't be mistaken Maya , it's not personal”
”What do you mean its not personal .....”
”Your things were inferior, so I only upgraded it”
There was a loud ringing in my head and I thought he said something or did he?
”What?” I croaked
”In here, inferiority is not allowed. My workers dress the best, receive the best. luxury speaks cause I can't allow any of them....”
”Ruining your reputation” I filled in.
He paused for a while, an unknown emotion lingering in his gaze before he replied coldly as usual ”If you put it that way then”
I gasped, how didn't I notice this before? because his beauty was clouding your sense of judgement
I chuckled hysterically muttering ”So we're just dolls you show off to your rich friends and the world? ”
”I didn't say so” he gritted taking hold of my shoulder and forcing his intense gaze on mine. His gaze was intimidating but I wasn't ready to submit and never would
”But you're doing so” I sneered hoping he was going to just give up already but the reverse was the case.
His grip on my shoulder loosened and instead became soothing as he rubbed on my shoulder.
His huge calloused palm sent shivers down my spine as it rubbed constantly on my bare shoulders
”Everything I'm doing is for your sake, why don't you just appreciate the luxury” he said with his gaze landing on my wardrobe filled to the brim with designer clothes, shoes, bags , and so.
”No” I said ”You're just showing off your riches”
”Maya?”
”And guess what ? I don't work with rich selfish jerks who thinks people are just decorative dolls .which is why, I quit”
”Oh hell, you're not”
”Hell , I am” I stood my ground. I was wrong about him, so I'm going to save myself before I fall deeper into this quicksand
”Our agreement was six months” he growled gripping my arm as I turned to get away from him and this time it was more tighter than before . I winced from his grip but he was too angry to notice it or he rather choose to ignore it .
”And I'm taking the months off, is that a problem?”
”You ain't doing anything”
”Says who?”
”Says me!” He growled fiercely and I had this urge to submit but I just couldn't .He might be a man with money and authority but I'm a woman with rights and morals
I smirked” you now a dictator? well guess what, I have rights too.So I give up, I quit, I can't and refuse to work with you ”
With all the strength in me, I pulled his grip away and he arched a brow at my attitude but he straightened himself immediately saying
”Remember the contract, Maya .You're treading on dangerous ground here, you know what happens when you dishonor the contract” He reminded me and I froze for a moment, feeling nauseous out of nowhere.
