Chapter 149 - One Hundred And Forty-nine : Bully Who? (1/2)

Maya's Point Of View

There was nothing gentle about Niklaus last night, all of his thrust was brutal yet hit the right spot and I knew it was brought on by my comment last night.

Niklaus could be dumb sometimes, how could he still doubt my willingness to sleep with him when we've gotten to that point already? So I used Eden to bring his senses back around though I suffered the consequences.

When I woke in the morning, I was hit by his enchanting look and my chest tightened- I missed him terribly. I had to dig my nails into my hands to stop myself from reaching out and igniting yesterday's passion all over again - the pain bringing me to my senses.

I had an audition to attend to and as tempting as his body was, my career was more important. So I dragged my eyes off his body and stood to my feet only to discover I was sore in-between my legs - so much for our passion last night.

If I had dared woke and aroused him this morning, I wouldn't be able to walk at all to my audition since I knew how libidinous we both could be together.

Casting an aggrieved look over my shoulder- he had so much vigor- I walked into my bathroom and washed away evidence of our activities last night.

I was grateful the audition was a good excuse to avoid him since there was a ninety percent chance he would bring up what happened between us. I prepared him coffee - tried my best to make it to his taste - penned down a note to him and left my apartment.

Last night between us was something out of this world but at the end of the day, it was just sex, nothing else. Moreover, Niklaus was the type who hated women lingering onto him and I wasn't about to do that.

When I got to the audition venue, I was led to the waiting lounge where hundreds of other wannabe actresses were waiting and revising their roles.

I took a deep breath and sat down on one of the benches going through my lines.

It was so funny, the media made it look like Niklaus had laid the female lead role on my feet while in reality he simply allowed me to audition, the rest was left to me.

So focused was I in my thoughts that I didn't even notice when fingers began to point my direction until I heard the whispers.

”Isn't she the one that had a scandal with sir Niklaus?”

”Yes, she is ”

”I heard she was fired by him and kicked out of his place”

”Not only that, I heard she sold her body for the lead role ”

”So you're saying the lead actress has been determined already and we're just here for show?”

”Seems like it, some people are just damn lucky”

”Aish, let's be sincere, you would have done the same thing if you were in her shoes”

”Quite true, I've only seen sir Niklaus from the crowd and in television and so far he looks like a Greek god sent down to earth; I'm so envious of her”

”Envious of her my foot! if I was in her shoe, I would have done much better - even become his wife ”

It took me everything not to blow my indifferent look, some people were just delusional - becoming Niklaus' wife? Good luck to her, she would need that along the way.

”Pfft, becoming Niklaus' wife? If it was that easy, why didn't she become one? I heard the CEO favored her over his girlfriend Tina?”

At least, one of them had sense.

”Who knows? Perhaps she didn't give him what he wanted. I heard Sir Niklaus is a casanova - look at her boobs, is not even half my size”

I held the script so tight, I almost tore it. How could people be so bold and shameless? She was berating me as if I wasn't present at all, when in reality I'm in the same hall and could hear her loud and clear.

Fine Maya, calm down. This isn't time to go full attack mode on her, you're better than this, I tried to calm myself down.

I love my body amid constant criticism from my sister Kimberly - I was among those blessed with the ability to eat whatever they wanted without caring about gaining weight - but my breast has always been a touchy spot for me.

Though it has seen much improvement lately thanks to Niklaus feeding me coconut drink - so he claimed - but it still wasn't ample.

Just ignore the jealous bitch, I told myself. She was not worth me going Jackie Chan mode on her and proving to Niklaus I was a gangster.

I ignored the rambling fools, perhaps the time they put into gossiping about me, they would have been productive if they put it into something else.

I only looked up when there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Curiosity had me searching for the source of the disorder only for my eyes to rest on a known actress coming my way.

I couldn't exactly remember her name, Lisa, or something? What was she doing here and why was she staring at me that way?

The beautiful B-list actress stopped right in front of me, I glanced up at her.

”Excuse me, do we know each other?” I wondered if we had been classmates by chance and unintentionally forgot her else, why would she be looking at me like that?
