Kylie’s P. O. V
“Hello, Peter, the scheduled meeting will be held on the third floor,” I ended the call with the coordinator. Sebastian appointed a meeting coordinator yesterday. From now on Peter will handle all his meetings. I wanted to think it was a kind gesture of him for me after yesterday’s incident. But my brain warned me not to listen to my heart. Because predicting Sebastian was as hard as predicting an earthquake.
“Why the long face? Did you have a dream with your ex again?” Cindy walked inside my cabin with a frown. I was about to reply to her when she made a funny face.
“Oops! I totally forgot that he was no longer your ex but your husband. You didn’t need to fantasize about him anymore, you can just go to him spread your legs and he would bury himself inside you,” saying that she winked at me.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Have you forgotten that you cannot say about our marriage in public? And I wouldn’t spread my legs to him,” I told her with a frown. Though my face was flushing red giving Cindy confirmation of her statement.
“Yes, yes, you wouldn’t spread your legs that’s too old-fashioned, you would try something new and more artistic,” she started smiling mischievously. And her infectious smile affected me too wiping away my tiredness from a few moments ago.
“What are your plans for lunch? I happened to be free today as all Mr. Smith’s meetings were going to be handled by Peter,” I asked her changing the topic.
“I am free too. Let’s go to the new restaurant near the mall. You owe me a wedding treat, hope you remember it,” she asked dancing her brows. Just then two messages popped on my mobile screen.
The first one said-
“TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT”
The second one was from Sebastian…
“I WAS SATISFIED WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT. THIS IS A COMPLIMENTARY BONUS FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE.”
Memories of last night flashed in front of me making me blush.
“Did your husband send you something naughty? Why are you blushing like a schoolgirl?” Cindy asked, making sure to whisper the part “your husband”.
“I was just embarrassed that I haven’t treated you for a long time. Let’s go to have lunch today, the bill is on me,” I said. Cindy gave me a suspicious look but then jumped in joy.
“We will go shopping after lunch and buy something artistic for you,” she winked at me. I surrendered raising both hands; this girl had no hope.
knock…. knock…. I knocked on his office door.
“Come in,” he said in his authoritative tone. As soon as I entered I saw him engrossed in his laptop screen.
“Mr. Smith…,” I opened my mouth but was interrupted midway.
“Speak,” he said dismissively before I could finish the sentence.
“I have handed all your meeting schedules to Peter. If you have nothing important, I would like to take the day off,” I finished my sentence this time and waited for him to oppose. But to my surprise, he didn’t oppose it.
“Okay,” he said without looking at me. I exhaled a deep breath that I was holding, then turned around to leave the room but he stopped me.
“Wait,” he said. There he goes again, I thought and turned around to face him. He pushed a medicine box and a glass of water on his table.
“Take it, before you go,” he ordered. I walked closer to take a look at the medicine and realized it was an emergency contraceptive pill. The realization struck me that he didn’t use any protection yesterday while we had sex. I didn’t utter a word before gulping down the pill with the water and left his room.
Outside his office…
Cindy was waiting patiently for me. As soon as I came out she was looking at my face with questioning face. I gave her a positive nod. Her face lightened up like a bulb. We both made a victory dance and left for the restaurant.
At the restaurant…..
“Kylie, are you sure you want to treat me here? I won’t mind eating in an average restaurant. It’s just that this place is very expensive,” Cindy said after checking the menu. She knew I was always short on money after supporting my family. So she was concerned about me and that kind gesture of hers touched my heart.
If it was three days ago, I wouldn’t even dare to enter here. This place was way out of my league. But I made plenty of money after PLEASING my master. So, spending a few thousand on my best friend wouldn’t hurt, right?
“Don’t think about the price just order whatever you want to eat. I will order the most expensive one,” I said to her and we both started to scan the options.
“I heard this restaurant was for rich people only. I didn’t know poor secretaries could afford this place,” I heard an annoyingly familiar voice. As we turned it was none other than Samantha along with a few more ladies. They all looked like spoiled rich girls.
“What is this bitch doing here,” I heard Cindy mumbled under her breath. I turned around to avoid her. I didn’t want any conflict to spoil our mood.
“Samantha, what are you talking about? Who are they?” asked one of her minions.
“She is nothing but a new toy of Sebastian. You know he likes to change toys with seasons,” Samantha retorted with mockery. I frowned at her remark.
“Oh, so she is the new mistress? How do you tolerate these bitches who can jump on someone’s husband’s bed for some cash?” said another.
“Excuse me, who’s husband you said?” Cindy asked with her usual sassy attitude. I knew what was going to happen so I eyed her not to spill the secret.
“Of course, we are talking about Samantha here,” said the blonde girl.
“I am the legal assistant of Mr. Smith. I checked all his legal documents but to my surprise, I didn’t see anywhere Samantha was mentioned as Mrs. Smith. So let’s talk when she becomes Mrs. Smith, though I am damn sure that’s never gonna happen. Till then shove off and let us enjoy our food,” Cindy replied indicating to the waiter who brought our food.
I Samantha clenching her fists, I felt so sorry for her nail artist. As I was going to sit back on my chair, Samantha took the bowl of the boiling soup from the tray and threw it towards me.
“You cunning bitch, let’s see if Sebastian would look at your burned face,” I heard her yell before closing my eyes.
