MEL POV
“Sorry I took so long” I apologized “Mr Leo needed to speak with me about something” I lied but he seemed to believe me.
“No worries, please I need you to stay till 7 pm,” he said concentrating on the sheets of paper, he had in his hand not bothering to look at me.
“I have plans tonight,” I said.
And his head flew up to meet my gaze, “Like what?” He asked slightly aggressively.
“What could be more important than your job?
People are begging for this job Melanie so if you are not prepared to do the work then clearly, this can’t work” he said.
I would love nothing more than to punch this fucker in his pretty face.
He spoke to me like I was a child, If he wasn’t my boss, my fist would be in his cheek but I kept my cool since I didn’t want to get fired.
“I’m sorry but it’s really important but I do love my job I-”
“Then you would be able to stay until night, wouldn’t you?” he questioned quirking an eyebrow.
“Okay” I sighed ”
I’ll go call off my plans” I said.
The one time I could finally get some time alone with Leo was canceled.
If I could, I would have stormed out and quit but I didn’t want to disappoint my dad, and guess I could reschedule my plans with Leo again.
I couldn’t go to Leo’s office to cut off the plans so I decided to go to my own tiny office next to his.
ME: I have to work tonight, I can’t dance for you, I’m sorry can we do it tomorrow night instead?
LEO: Do you want me to talk to Liam? Is he being an asshole?
ME: Nope it’s fine, is tomorrow night okay?
LEO: Tomorrow is fine just let me know if he’s overworking you, my love.
My heart warmed at his little pet name for me.
ME: That Will do.
After hours of basically doing nothing just answering some of Liam’s emails.
I looked at the clock and it was almost 7 pm.
People have started to leave the building around this time, to go home to their kids, wives, and whatever.
Liam and I were the only ones left on our floor.
A knock at the door broke me from my thoughts and I put my phone on the desk and pressed my fingers over the laptop to make it look like I was doing something.
Come in.
The door opened revealing Liam.
“Hey Melanie, I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted earlier, it was wrong of me to make you cancel your plans,” He says.
“Can I buy you some coffee to make it up to you?” he said.
Fuck I wish I had it in me to say no sometimes.
I’m too much of a good person to decline his offer but hey, one coffee won’t hurt.
“Sure” I smile.
“We can go to the canteen” I suggested not wanting to leave the building with him.
Although he’s nice sometimes I still feel weird around him.
We headed down to the canteen silently and it was like a ghost town.
I felt like nobody was even in the building apart from us luckily there was a huge coffee machine so we didn’t have to wait for a barista to come and serve us.
I asked Mr. Liam for a cappuccino and he brought it to the table along with his cup of coffee.
“Thank you” I smiled.
Taking a tiny sip moaning at how good it tasted, probably shouldn’t have moaned but I couldn’t help it.
“What plans did you have today?” He asked then took a sip of his coffee.
“I was just going out with a friend,” I said and he hummed.
“Boyfriend?” He asked.
My heart started pounding at his question.
I don’t know if it was inappropriate for him to ask that but I didn’t want to be rude.
Also, I didn’t know if Leo was my boyfriend.
“Uhh It’s complicated” I answered nervously.
“Well, any man would be grateful to have you as his” He murmured.
“Mr… Liam, I’m not comfortable with this,” I said.
I got up from my seat walking towards the elevator but a large hand grabbed my wrist possessively.
Mr Liam pushed me against the wall trapping me in between his arms on both sides of my head.
“What’s the rush Melanie hm?” He whispered.
He then lowered his hand to one of my boobs and squeezed it.
I tried to break hold of his grasp but he pinned my hand above my head, with his hand around my throat.
“You are so beautiful Melanie, why are you trying to run away?” He whispered.
One of his hands went to my ass and gave it a hard smack, my eyes started to fill with tears but he didn’t care.
“Let me fuck you right here” He cooed.
“Please Liam don’t” I whimpered clawing at his hand to let go of my neck.
I was completely helpless.
He was a strong muscular over 6’0 foot and I was a skinny 5, 3 woman, I prayed that someone would walk in and try to help me but it was of no use.
He unbuttoned my blouse until my bra could be seen and he smirked at me.
“Please no Liam” he slipped a hand in my bra playing with my breast and tugging off my nipple.
“Perfect breast” He growled.
My stomach was heating up from my broken cry and my hands tried to push his chest away but he had a good hold on me.
It was pointless.
As he was squeezing my breast I had no other option out of this situation other than kicking him right where it hurt the most, it was a risk since he was such a strong man but it was the only option I had left.
I lifted my leg and kicked Liam in the dick.
he groaned in pain stumbling backward.
I had to run to the door, I didn’t look back as I ran and I hoped that would be enough to make him feel that for days.
My tears were drying almost and my only instinct was to call Leo hoping he would answer.
” Leo !” I sobbed almost happy that he answered.
“Hey babe, what’s wrong?” He sounded almost worried at my nervous breathing and my sniffing.
“It’s Liam, He-he- ”
I couldn’t quite get the words out and a faint cry ran past my lips thinking back to what just happened.
“What’s Liam? What happened?
Melanie?
Are you okay? Talk to me, baby, what’s wrong” He sounded panicked.
All I could do was cry.
“He touched me”
