MR ROVER WANTS ME 20
CHAPTER 20 TAYLOR I couldn't speak. I also couldn't move an inch or fight back because what if Michael ended up scolding me for retaliating back at Blair? I wanted to hit her so bad though. I wanted to make her pay for getting me all wet with juice but what if she also had a gun too? I couldn't take the risk and end up bearing the consequences so motionless, I just stood and stared at her since I had no idea what to even do and she just enjoyed the view. “This should teach you not to speak to me the way you like” Blair taunted while she held the empty glass in hand and right then, I started to hear footsteps from behind me. So I looked back and after seeing that it was Michael, a sense of relief took over me because I believed that he would defend me and scold Blair for what she did to me. I waited on the same spot for him to get close and once he did, he looked me over in silence. Then he turned to Blair with a gaze that was quite hard to explain but at the same time,

CHAPTER 21MICHAEL I hated how I felt. I couldn't explain it but these uncontrollable emotions kept gathering up in my chest ever since the night that I took Taylor to meet the family. While a part of me believed that she had to be kept in place and not act out of hand as time went by, another part of me thought that I was too harsh toward her that night.I was the one who made her follow me to meet them and it wasn't her fault that it turned out to be a disaster. In fact, I believed she was the one who suffered the most damages because not only did dad almost kill her with a fucking chandelier, Blair also had the audacity to embarrass her like that.So I kept on thinking… that when she had a meltdown back at the mansion and yelled at me for not defending her, maybe I shouldn't have said anything. Maybe I shouldn't have added to her wounds by yelling in her face. Maybe it would have been better if I'd just walked away.Now she wasn't speaking to me. She wasn't even looking my way li

CHAPTER 22MICHAEL “You, you got a phone for me?” She asked, her voice laced with surprise as she looked up at me and I nodded my head. Then she looked down at the phone again and after a while, she looked back at me… with a smile.Relief filled me upon seeing her smile but I didn't let it show. I didn't want her to think it meant anything to me to give her a phone so I just kept a blank expression as I watched her smile at me.“Thanks, Michael. I wasn't expecting any of these so thank you” she said while staring at the box containing the new phone in awe and I took a step closer to her. Her perfume invaded my nose immediately and I instantly loved the smell.“Why won't you expect it? You're my wife and I'm meant to do this for you” I said and her smile vanished at once. The hurtful look that she had in her eyes that night, returned to her eyes and I regretted talking about her being my wife because I was obviously ruining my plan.“I'm just your wife on paper, not an actual one.

CHAPTER 23TAYLOR“The bastard. Who does he think he is to make me say what he wants to hear?” I muttered under my breath while I stormed back and forth in my room angrily.Then I stopped pacing and aggressively dropped the box containing the phone on the vanity before I walked toward the shopping bags and began to pour the clothes onto the bed.Once I was done, I took a moment to look at the things he got me and I stared in awe at the dresses, jewelry and bags that he bought… they were a lot and it made me wonder why he randomly got them for me.I was still not speaking to him though. I'd chosen to respect myself so he wouldn't treat me so condescendingly like he did that night. I didn't want to go through that again so it was best I kept to myself.I randomly picked a dress from the many which were piled up on the bed. Then I pulled off the one I wore at first and put on the new dress after cutting off the tag.With that, I brushed my hair until it was smooth. Then I held it up into

CHAPTER 24TAYLOR“Taylor. We should go inside” Michael repeated while he stared at me, the smile still on his face and I pulled myself out of my train disappointed thought before I nodded my head at him.“Yeah. We should” I smiled back as more pictures were taken and with that, he led the way with slow and precise steps while he still held onto my hand and I quietly followed.Immediately we stepped into the company, I couldn't help but notice the many eyes that looked our way at once.I started to look back at them one after the other and I caught many of them having looks of shock, surprise, distaste and just the pure urge to gossip on their faces.Quickly, I looked away before their stares would get into my head and twist my mind. Then I bowed my head before I began to blindly follow Michael to wherever he was taking us.I'd never had that much attention on me before. I was always the quiet and unnoticed girl so being the center of these people's attention now was hard to handle be

CHAPTER 25TAYLORStill fighting the urge to not get lost in his touch, Michael didn't stop running his finger down my face. He was still watching me closely too and true to his words, he didn't look like he cared about us getting seen by anyone so I decided not to protest anymore. He could do what he wanted.The elevator finally stopped and the doors slid open to reveal a whole entire floor filled with desks and employees who were already waiting for him to show up. Sideways, I glanced at them while his finger still remained on my face, and I could see how surprised they were to see their boss get touchy with me right in front of them. I could tell it was a rare sight.Quickly, I took a step back from him while clearing my throat. Then I adjusted my dress as I worked on my facial expression at the same time and once I had a grip on myself, I looked up at him to see that he had been patiently waiting for me. Maybe he noticed how unsettled I was and decided to give me the time to p

CHAPTER 26TAYLOR “I've never been a secretary. I don't even know what they do” I panicked as I whispered to Michael right after Cassie was gone but all he did was ignore me as he walked away with me right on his heels.“You're not listening to me” I complained as I kept on following him and he looked down at me the same time that he slowed his pace.“I'm heading to my office, Taylor. We can talk there” he replied and I nodded.With that, I went quiet and followed him until we arrived at the door leading to which I assumed was his office. Then he opened the door and let me enter first before he went in after me and closed the door after himself.Immediately, I turned around to face him without bothering to have a look around the office and he stood in front of me too with his hands tucked into his pockets.“You want to talk to me?” he asked and I nodded.“Go ahead then” he urged me before walking over to his large desk to sit on the chair behind it.“I've never been a secretary, I ha

CHAPTER 27MICHAEL If anyone was to ask me the reason why I made Taylor my secretary, it would simply be because I still felt bad about that dinner night. She was obviously still mad at me considering how much she'd changed ever since then and after realizing that getting her dresses and a new phone wasn't going to make her soften toward me, I decided that maybe keeping her around me all the time would help.I knew she was sick of staying in that house for such a long time so I decided that to get rid of her boredom and for her security too, I should have her around me. Maybe that way, she wouldn't be too mad at me anymore and with time, she won't be so cold and distant.We reached the conference room and waiting inside were all the company's executives who all stood up at the same time as I walked into the room.While I headed to my seat, I could see the questioning gazes they fixed on Taylor who stuck to my side like glue and looked too scared to make eye contact with them despite

CHAPTER 76TAYLOR Deflated, I placed the schedule on Michael's desk before I left his office and walked back to my desk. Then I packed up my things to leave for the day and reaching the elevator, I saw Fernandez waiting.“Didn't you leave for a job?” I asked, surprised to see him.“I was told to take you home” he replied and I adjusted my bag on my shoulder. “Alright then. Let's go” I said and with that, we both got into the elevator and stood in silence as it went down to the parking lot.“What about your boss? Any idea where he rushed off to?” I asked and I felt his gaze on me while I stared ahead.“He left for an event. He was in a hurry because he's part of the hosts and he has to be there before it begins” he explained and I nodded as little of the hurt I was feeling started to go away once I knew why he ran out so fast like that.We arrived at the parking lot and Fernandez led me over to the car before he got the door to the backseat for me and I thanked him before getting in.

CHAPTER 75TAYLORMonday morning came fast and I woke up with a heavy heart.I didn't want to leave my bed. In fact, I wanted to lock my door and keep to myself for the day along with Mane but I knew I couldn't do that.Selene was leaving and we were driving her back to the airport. It was going to be just me in that large penthouse again because even with Michael around, it made no difference… I was still lonely.With a sigh, I slowly pushed myself off my bed. Then I left for the bathroom where I brushed my teeth, took a shower and dressed up in a pair of flare pants along with a shirt which I had tucked in.Then I held my hair up in a loose ponytail before I applied a little makeup and once I was done, I wore my shoes, grabbed my bag and left for the living room to see Michael and Selene sharing a hug.Confused, I walked closer until they noticed me and I forgot myself when I made eye contact with Michael who was also looking at me.I didn't miss the way his eyes raked over my body

CHAPTER 74MICHAEL I walked into the penthouse only to be welcomed with a dark living room and I figured that everyone must be asleep already.With a sigh, I made my way toward my room to rest for the night. Then I began to hear shuffling in the kitchen.There was suddenly a loud clang as a cup fell on the floor and I paused as I heard a voice mutter in the dark. Immediately, my defenses were awakened and I wondered if my house had been broken into as I pulled a gun out from beneath my shirt and slowly made my way to the kitchen.I held the gun out before me to attack if I had to. Then I reached for the switch to turn the light off and immediately I did, I saw it was Taylor and she had never looked so pale and frozen as she stared at the gun I had in her face with pure fear in her eyes.Quickly, I returned the gun into my pocket before I could reach for her shoulders to see if she was okay but she quickly took a step back as I held my hands out and there was suddenly a cold tension b

CHAPTER 73TAYLORI couldn't meet Selene's teasing stare. She would stop smiling while looking at me and I knew what she was thinking already. I just didn't want to talk about it but I knew Selene. She was the sort of person who never took no for an answer and eventually had her way all the time.“So tell me… what was with the heated mood this morning? What happened between you and Michael while I was puking my insides out last night?” She asked, that same knowing smile still plastered to her face and I sighed as I zipped the first aid box open and took out the aspirin tablets there.I took two out of the packet. One for each of us and handed her one.“Michael told me to take care of us, so here. It'll take the headache away” I ignored her question and she narrowed her eyes at me before she took the tablet from my hand and swallowed after I handed her a glass of water too. Then she stood up and walked over to where I was to stand by my side and I sighed again. Couldn't she just let

CHAPTER 72MICHAEL “Woah! Slow down, Alan. I haven't told you everything yet so don't ask me that question. It's too early” I quickly told him off and he gave me a knowing look.“Or are you just scared to own up to what you feel and admit to it by answering me?” He asked and I sighed.“Just listen to what I have to say first, Alan” I insisted and he leaned back in his chair.“Alright then. Go ahead” he said and I took a sip from my drink before I went ahead to explain myself.“I had no plans of taking things further with Taylor when I met her because she reminded me too much of Blair. I only bought her from that auction to get back at Blair and Carlos and I'm glad it worked” I scoffed and Alan chuckled. “But then… I don't know how it happened, Alan but I found myself getting along with her more than I anticipated and in the process, she fell for me”“How do you know that?” He asked and I looked at him.“She confessed to me while she was drunk yesterday” “Oh shit! She did?” he aske

CHAPTER 71MICHAEL The guards standing by the door bowed their heads to me as I approached them and I nodded back at them in acknowledgement.“Is your boss in? I'm here to see him” I asked guard number one and he nodded his head.“He's inside and waiting for you, Mr Rover” he replied.Then he pushed open the door for me and I walked into the mansion which belonged to my long time friend and business partner, Alan Gustave. Taking a look around while I followed the butler who led me to where he was, I took note of the few changes he'd made in his living room and when we both reached the wine bar, the butler stopped.“Mr Gustave is in the wine bar, Mr Rover” the butler said before bowing his head and walking away and I entered the bar to see Alan seated by the island and drinking from a glass of wine.“Hey buddy. I see you're having a nice time by yourself. You're getting old already, huh” I teased him while walking toward him and taking a seat beside him and he scoffed at me as a smal

CHAPTER 70MICHAEL Leaving my cup of coffee on the island, I stood up and straightened my shirt while Selene's question still hung in the air. I didn't plan on answering her to be honest and even though it was a Sunday, I needed to leave the house.I didn't trust myself enough to share the same space with Taylor too considering what happened between us the previous night. So I was taking my space elsewhere for a moment.“You guys aren't saying anything… That's suspicious” Selene said while she still held onto Taylor's arm as I walked toward them and I eyed her.“Take your medication, Selene. I'm sure your head hurts” I told her dismissively before walking out of the kitchen and I grabbed a car key while I headed toward the door.Then I heard her scoff loudly. “I'll make Taylor tell me everything!” She yelled before wincing while grabbing her head and Taylor held onto her tighter before we made eye contact again.“Take care of yourselves” I said to her and with that, I walked out of

CHAPTER 69TAYLOR“You look like a mess, Taylor” was the first thing he said to me and I hiccuped. I was too shocked, embarrassed and scared to give a sensible reaction. “Are you okay? You look pale like you just saw a ghost” he looked me over with worry and I released a shaky breath this time before I began to wring my hands as I broke eye contact with him.“I'm… I'm fine” I lied even though my head felt like it was about to fall off my shoulders and he took a step closer to me, causing me to stiffen as he closed the small distance left between us.Raising a hand up, he pressed it against my forehead and I closed my eyes upon the contact. I couldn't for the life of me understand why he was acting so cool about last night when I literally pressed my lips against his.Then he pulled his hand away from my head and we looked at each other.“You're burning up. You need to take something to make you feel better” he noted and I wouldn't stop wringing my hands.It felt like he had an ulteri

CHAPTER 68TAYLOROur bodies molded against each other while we devoured each other's mouths. Then we finally pulled away to catch our breaths and when we looked at each other, I could see the hunger in his eyes but I told myself I was only hallucinating because Michael Rover would never look at me like that.Quickly, my senses snapped me back to reality and I gasped as my eyes widened while I covered my mouth in absolute shock.“I… I didn't mean to…” I began but I was starting to feel tipsy and found it hard to stand straight.So Michael reached for my hand to hold me steady and Fernandez walked into the living room at that moment.“I've put Miss Selene to bed, boss. Can I leave now?” He asked and Michael dismissed him before he fixed his attention back on me after Fernandez was gone.“You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, Taylor” I heard him say, more like he was speaking to himself and with that, he picked me up again and carried me over to my room where he gently
