Piper’s POV
On the way home from Jay’s mansion, I sat leaning against the back of the chair as I stared at the rows of houses on the left and right sides of the road. Ever since I was little, I had always asked my dad to take me to this street because I wanted to see and observe the model houses that lined the street.
I had other reasons besides wanting to see these houses. When I was a kid, I thought the houses in this area were unique and nice. All the houses along this street were the same model, just different in terms of color. Another thing was that these houses are higher than the road. To reach the front door, we have to climb a few steps. I imagined standing behind its living room windows and enjoying the view of the highway. It would be nice.
“Piper.”
“Piper.”
Max’s voice woke me from my reverie. It was him calling my name. “Yes?”
“You’re daydreaming. Is there something you want to talk about? You can talk to me about it or we can hang out tonight with Lisa. As always, I’ll pick you guys up,” Max asked as his eyes focused on the highway.
“Mr. Jay has accepted me to work as his daughter’s private tutor. And I didn’t know he was Megan’s husband. I just can’t imagine working at his house next week and seeing Megan every day. Huft, she’ll make trouble with me. I need this job. As you know, I’m the backbone of the family and I can’t decide everything based on my emotions and feelings. Why should I meet her?” I replied, sipping the mineral water.
“If you keep quiet, then you lose. If you fight back, I think she’ll stop bothering you,” he replied.
I looked closely at his face. Max smiled widely and within seconds, he was laughing loudly. He was such a pain in the ass. I thought the answer he gave was a serious one.
“Be a little serious,” I said as I stared at the busy highway.
“Ok, I am sorry. The answer I gave was serious. As you know, God creates the minds of women and men differently. Women use more feelings while men use more logic. That’s why men are from mars and women are from venus. If I were you, I would ignore Megan. My focus is on doing a good job. If she’s going to mess with you, just ignore her. Or if she goes too far with you, you better report it to Mr. Adams. I’m sure he’s a wise man,” he replied.
For the first time in my life, I heard a long and reasonable explanation from Max. He’s a humorous guy, so once he gave a logical and serious explanation, I felt a little strange. But the answer he gave made sense and was quite good.
Men have an easier time dealing with pressure or problems because they solve everything using logic. This is inversely proportional to women.
“Since when did you become a little wise?” I asked.
“Since a long time ago, it’s just that you and Lisa didn’t realize the advantages I have. Especially Lisa. She never realized the signals I sent her,” he replied as he let out a long breath.
“W-wait! Signals? Do you like Lisa? Since when? Hahaha,” I asked, laughing out loud. It was unexpected. Max liked Lisa.
“Since we were in senior high school, I’ve liked her, but she doesn’t realize it or she pretends not to realize it,” he replied. The look on his face turned sad.
I touched his shoulder and patted it lightly. “Keep fighting if you love her.”
“Even men have patience. You remember that, Piper. If we men feel that the love we’re after is too hard to achieve, then we’ll give up and leave so we don’t get hurt,” he said. This time, his face looked serious and not so sad anymore.
“Ok, thanks for the advice.”
“Tonight. Seven o’clock. Okay?” he asked. For parties, Max’s face would instantly turn happy because he was the king of parties, while Lisa was the queen of parties.
“Ok.”
Moments later, the car Max was driving stopped right in front of my apartment. After closing the car door and waving, I rushed up to the seventh floor.
I got into the elevator and leaned against the wall just to unwind. I hope I made the right decision by accepting this job for mom and Jensen.
After the ding sounded and the elevator doors opened, I rushed out and walked to my apartment unit. When I entered the room and closed the door again, I found mom standing waiting for me near the shoe rack.
“Mom? What are you doing there?” I asked in surprise.
“I was standing here when I heard the door open. Lisa called and told me everything. Why did you hide it from me?” mom asked with a sad look.
After putting the shoes on the shelf, I rushed toward mom and hugged her. She stroked my back as she asked, “Mom has prepared your favorite tea and snacks. Let’s sit in the dining room.”
Mom’s hugs and voice always calmed me down. We spent the afternoon talking in the dining room while enjoying snacks and tea made by my mother.
In that conversation, I also told her about Megan. And what surprised me more was the answer that came out of her mouth. Her answer was the same as Max’s. I never would have guessed that my meek and yielding mother could give such a bold answer. Maybe she was fed up with all the bullying that Megan and her family were doing. I understood how she felt. She certainly couldn’t bear to see her family suffer.
However, at the end of our conversation, before I went into the room, she said, “Piper, if you don’t feel comfortable working for them, quit and don’t push yourself. I just want to see you happy.”
Tears immediately flowed out of my eyes. I cried like a child in my mother’s arms. I believed I could, and I was strong.
Long story short, seven o’clock came. Just before Max knocked on my apartment door, I was already out of my bedroom. That night I wore a black minidress, a jeans jacket, black boots, and a black sling bag. The outfit I wore didn’t suggest that I was a fan of the color black. I just wanted to wear all black that night.
“Piper, Max is here,” mom called from the doorway.
“Ok, I’m ready,” I replied as I kissed Jensen on the cheek. “Don’t stay up too late.”
“Ok, mom. Have fun. I love you,” Jensen replied.
“Love you too,” I replied. I walked towards the entrance, waving goodbye to him.
After saying goodbye to Mom and Jensen, we hurried downstairs and got into Max’s car. Before he started the engine, he asked, “Are you ready for a splendid party?”
“We’re just going to a bar, right?” I asked.
Piper’s POV“I changed my mind and Lisa agrees with me. This is going to be fun, Piper. So, sit tight and enjoy the ride until we get to the party,” Max replied as he started the engine. “Wh-what? Why didn’t you guys talk to me about this first?” I asked as I buckled my safety belt. “We just wanted to show you a new place and hope you’d like it. Like taking you to a place that has a new atmosphere. You’re not mad, are you?” he asked with a scowl on his face like a child. I exhaled softly while looking out the window just to enjoy the view of the highway at night, “Alright, show me that place you call special. As you know, I can’t get mad at you guys.”“You’re such a good girl, hahaha,” he retorted with a big laugh. “Focus on driving so we get there fast and one more thing. I can’t go home late at night.”“Ok, leave everything to me,” he replied. A few minutes later, the car Max was driving arrived in front of Lisa’s house. After Lisa got into the car, we rushed to the party place
Piper’s POV“Ouch, ow,” my arm hurt because it seemed like this person’s body landed on top of my arm. When I bumped into this person earlier, I spontaneously hugged the body. It was a knee-jerk reaction. But, wait! Who was the person I bumped into? The body was too muscular. It must be a man. I had to hurry to apologize to him even though my vision was a little twisted and the lighting outside the toilet was quite dark, so it was hard to see things clearly in a slightly drunk state. “Miss, are you okay?” the man asked as he helped me up. So, I was right, this person was a man. I felt quite relieved because if I had bumped into a woman, I would have felt very sorry for her. After all, when I fell, I would have landed on top of her body while I thought I gained quite a lot of weight after a few months of being busy with office work that I didn’t have time to take care of myself. “Yes, I’m fine. I’m sorry that I bumped into you earlier, and thank you,” I replied as I bowed a few times
Jay Lee’s POV The scent of her shampoo and perfume was like that of the woman that night. According to Nick’s confession, my mom asked him to hire a high-end prostitute to accompany me that night. I knew mom wanted to prove my sexual orientation. Something might have influenced her to think that I wasn’t like other normal men. Maybe it was all my fault. Ever since I caught my girlfriend with another man, to me, love didn’t exist and all women were the same. They only pursue their pleasure without thinking about their couple’s feelings. I loved her sincerely, but she repaid me with a betrayal. Since then, I’ve been reluctant to get into a relationship with any woman, so I just spent my time working and doing my hobbies until the events of that night changed everything. “Sir, we have a meeting with Coles Company tomorrow at nine in the morning. I’ll pick you up at eight. Good night and have a good rest,” Nick said. “Good night,” I replied as I got out of the car. Ken and Lily were wa
Jay Lee’s POVHer fingers gently stroked and massaged my cock until it made my lips release a stifled moan. Her tongue moved actively inside my mouth, inviting my tongue to play with her. Occasionally, she broke her kisses and placed kiss marks on my neck and chest. Ah, it felt so good. Haven’t made love to a woman for so long had made me so sensitive that my arousal was easily provoked and rose quickly. As her wet lips and tongue were licking my nipples, her hands massaged my cock more vigorously until I closed my eyes and a long moan escaped my mouth. Then, she brought her lips to my ear and whispered, “Enjoy it, let me do the work. Think of tonight as our first night.”She was right; we had never made love, and that night was the first time I saw her naked body. Her body was beautiful, with seductive curves, two sizable breasts, and a pussy covered in a little fuzz. The curves and beauty of her body can tempt any man. As a normal man, I was tempted and her treatment of me could
Piper’s POV“Good morning, Lily. Please take me to Jessie’s bedroom,” I replied.I followed Lily into the mansion and up to the second floor. The staircase that connected the first floor and the second floor coiled beautifully near the living room. Each step was covered with a fluffy carpet so that our footsteps on the stairs made no noise at all.That morning, the mansion looked deserted. I honestly hoped I wouldn’t run into Jay, considering our awkward encounter last night. And if I could hope, I didn’t want to see Megan either. But I knew it was impossible. Jay and Megan had become my bosses. Whatever Megan would say or do to me, I would take it. Everything I do is for Jensen and I need to pay his expensive tuition.God, please help me, Jensen and my mom.Lily and I walked down the not-so-long hallway. I saw that there were quite a few rooms on the second floor. Then we stopped right in front of a door with a small wooden sign that read ‘Jessie’s bedroom’ using pink paint.A typica
Piper’s POV“Ok, sir. Sorry about this and thank you,” I said as I bowed my head. I honestly couldn’t bear to look at his face for a long time with my red face and puffy eyes. “You’ve already said the word sorry twice. Alright, I’ll leave now. Have a pleasant work and to Jessie, happy studying. Daddy loves you. Kiss me,” he replied as he hugged Jessie, and she looked thrilled to be beside Jay. She threw her arms around Jay’s neck and kissed him on the cheek. It all showed that Jay is a good father and has a close relationship with his daughter. After Jay came out of Jessie’s bedroom. I rushed to the bathroom and cleaned my face, then reapplied the makeup that tears had ruined. It’s a good thing I always carry my makeup kit around with me. It’s not that I’m the type of woman who’s crazy about makeup and very feminine, but I’m not confident with a bare face. Unless I’m inside my apartment meeting no outsiders, then I don’t need to apply makeup. However, for events outside the house, I
Piper’s POVSuddenly, I stopped walking and stood in front of a small garden belonging to the house behind me. In the night’s darkness, illuminated only by the light of the stars and moon and the searchlights of cars, I tried to see who the driver of the car that stopped right beside me was. Not long after, the windshield of the car right in front of me opened and from inside the car, Sir Jay looked at me with a smile. “Piper, get in. I’ll take you home,” he invited. It was like I was in the middle of a weighing scale and I had to choose quickly between saying yes and no. However, I needed a ride. I was hungry and regretted not eating enough lunch, so I was a little weak now. However, if I took him up on his offer, I was afraid I would cause trouble. Jay was Megan’s husband, and I was worried that she would think that I was trying to flirt with her husband. Then, she would spread untrue rumors about me to everyone. “Piper, come on in,” he asked again. And I finally couldn’t resi
Piper’s POV“What’s the problem? Are you okay? If you can’t tell me, it’s okay. I understand. Some things are just personal,” I said. “Ah, it’s not like that. It’s just that I’m not sure if the woman that night was Megan. That’s why I asked you about perfume and shampoo. Because I clearly remember the fragrance of that woman’s perfume and hair. The scent was like yours and you’re right, hundreds or even thousands of women probably wear the same perfume and shampoo as you. It’s just that I’m very curious about her and if I’m right, then how did our child end up in Megan’s hands?” he asked with a deep sigh. “Oh, what a coincidence. We have the same experience.”“Oh yes. Will you tell me?” he asked. Not long after, two servers arrived while delivering the food and drinks we ordered. “Hmm, sorry, the story is too painful for me, so I guess I’m not ready to tell it to you. I hope you understand,” I pleaded, sipping the mineral water. “Oh okay,” he replied. “Thank you. And did you find
