Chapter 155

Elena’s POV:

I hurriedly walked out of the hotel room and banged the door in anger. Tears were forming in my eyes, and I was holding myself not to cry out loud.

I rushed into the restroom and tried to hold my tears back. “No, Elena, you are not going to cry.”

“You can’t do this; don’t cry.”

Did he do it purposely to get to me? Or was that how he truly was? I couldn't understand what was going on.

“How could he be so heartless? I don’t even understand how he still manages to do this. Why am I even getting angry?” I asked myself. 

I sniffed repeatedly and tried to calm my breath. I shouldn’t be angry. It's his lifestyle, and if he did it to piss me off, I will not give him the satisfaction that he wants. 

I shouldn't be getting angry or pissed at him. He is out of my life for good. Let him deal with his shit.

I walked out of the restroom and decided to take a stroll to clear my head. I walked around the building, enjoying the gentle breeze to clear my thoughts and calm my mind.

I didn't want to go back to the hotel because I would be going back to that apartment to prepare lunch for Nicklaus and his mistress. 

As time went by, I glanced at my watch, and it was already 12 noon. I rolled my eyes and cursed under my breath.

“Damn it, not again,” I grumbled. “I have to face Nicklaus this time around. He hired me to humiliate me, but I won't give him the satisfaction. Even if it means me doing my job,” I spoke and walked back to the hotel.

  

I stood in front of the new building and got into the elevator. I reached the suite on the top floor and was about to knock on the door when Nelly walked up to me with a sly smile on her face.

“Well, well, well,” she said, crossing her arms on her chest. “Look who we have here. Looking for your prince charming again?”

“Could this get any worse?” I muttered under my breath.

“Well, your prince charming has left already. He had dumped your ass; where have you been all day? Looking for your love?” She chuckled lightly.

“What do you want? Can you just mind your damn business?”

“Anyways, my father has been looking for you all day; he wants to speak with you in his office. You should go see him right now.”

I quickly turned around and walked out to the hallway. I couldn't stand anybody's bullshit right now. Not Nelly or Nicklaus.

“I'm sure he dumped you and left shameless girl,” Nelly shouted.

I took in a deep breath. I was pushed to go back to her and give her a dirty slap but I ignored her.

I hasten my movement to the end of the hallway to Mr. Stone’s office.

  

Knock knock

“Come right in,” I heard my stone’s voice from inside his office. I exhaled deeply, swung the door open, and walked inside the office. 

He was seated on his chair behind the desk, and his eyes were fixed on me as I walked in.

“Good day, Mr. Stone. I was told you wanted to have a word with me.” I said gently.

“Yes, please. Have a seat,” he said and gestured for me to sit down. I gently sat down, feeling a little nervous about what he had to say.

“Mr, stone. If you don't mind. I would like to speak first,” I said.

“Go ahead, Elenaa said.

I reached for my pocket and brought out the keys to Nicklaus's suit. “I am here to return the keys to Mr. Coleman’s suite. I cannot work for him anymore. I will understand if you fire me,” I said.

Mr. Stone smiled and nodded his head. “The married couple informed me about your presence earlier in the suite. Sorry, the hotel didn't inform you earlier. Mr. Nicklaus left the hotel last night. So you won't be working for him anymore,” he spoke.

What?

“He discussed with me to still keep your job. So there you have it. You have your regular job back,” he said, and my jaw dropped.

“You don't mean it, sir. Thank you so much, sir. I really appreciate it,” I spoke and giggled.

“It's fine, Elena. Mr. Coleman is a nice man; you can go back to your usual duties and do not let me down,” he spoke.

“I promise I won't let you down,” I said excitedly and stood up. I walked out of the door. I gently closed the door, resting on it, and I exhaled deeply.

It's a good thing I have my job back. I walked down happily feeling relieved and back to my usual life, but it struck me when I remembered Mr. Stone’s statement.

Why did Nicklaus leave so soon? I thought he was in with another mistress, but it turns out a couple had taken the suite.

I happily returned to the kitchen and was so excited to do my usual work. 

After a few hours of work, it was already getting dark. Then I saw Sam. 

“Sam,” I called.

"Yes, Elena,” he responded and walked up to me. “Are you ready to go home?” 

“Yes, I am ready. Let me just grab my bag,” I said and walked to the locker.

“Thank you so much, Sam.” I said.

“You don't have to thank me, Elena,” he said, placing his hands on mine. “I want to protect you. I do not want what happened to you yesterday to repeat itself,”

I felt a little spark as he held my hands, but I quickly pulled away. My eyes fell on the rearview mirror when I saw a mysterious man standing afar and taking pictures of us.

“I think we are being stalked,” I said.
