Chapter Four

She wanted to say something but words failed her. Her lips were quivering instead.

"Get the fuck out of my room and shut the door!" He sat on the edge of the bed.

"Connor?!" She called out to him but got no response.

She proceeded to where he was seated.

"Don't come near me!!!!"

She ignored him and still approached him.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

He said nothing.

"We just fucked and now you're telling me to leave?"

He looked into her eyes and she couldn't help but wonder why he was looking pissed.

"What were you expecting me to say?"

"We just fucked Co..."

"Oh please shut the fuck up!" His voice was loud and clear. "Are you the first woman I've fucked?"

Nancy sniffled, trying to hold back her tears. "Don't you dare raise your voice at me!"

"You realize who you're talking to? I think you want to lose your Job."

"Connor, are you being serious right now?!!!" Nancy felt as though She was going crazy..

"Do I look like I'm playing games? And it's Mr. Martin to you. You have no right to call me by my first name."

"Right?!"

"You saying this trash after you've had your way with me?!"

"Stop being stupidly sentimental. We both wanted sex and we had it. What else do you want?"

"Oh, you think I was going to make you my woman?"

"You think I was going to choose you, a maid, over all the models and established women in my life?"

"You must be pathetic to think you had a chance against them." Connor didn't finish his statement when he saw a hand coming close to him but before it could land on his face, he got a hold of it.

"Don't you fucking dare! Or you will say goodbye to your job and I'll make sure you don't get any job elsewhere." He shrugged her hand away from his hold.

"You are nothing but a fraud, a loser, a manipulative bastard who has no respect for women!"

"I have no respect for women, yet you can't stop having feelings for me, I have no respect for women, yet you saw me in the shower and decided to jerk off at my nakedness. Just fuck off, Bitch!"

At this point, Nancy's eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't believe she fell for his whole bullshit."

"You're just a beast who doesn't deserve anything good. I hope you rot in hell, in jail, or get hit by a car!!!!!"

"Get the fuck out of my room and don't you fucking come near me ever again!!!!"

"Bastard!!!!" She glared at him with teary eyes.

When it was looking like she wasn't going to take her leave, Connor grabbed Nancy by her arm and literally threw her out, slamming the door against her face.

..............

The moment Nancy was out of the room, the tears rolled freely down her cheeks and she did her best to muffle her sounds by covering her mouth as she cried.

Remembering that She was outside Connor's room and anyone could see her, She wiped her face with the back of her palm and took her leave.

She went as fast as her legs could carry her to her room. She didn't even remember the water jug she left in the main kitchen. She ran straight to the staff quarters, internally thankful that no one saw her knowing how well she smelled of sex and how terrible she looked.

The moment Nancy got to her room, She locked her door, fell on the floor, and cried her body and soul out, knowing how much she had let herself down. She wished she had stayed back and fallen asleep even though she was thirsty or better still just drank from the tap in her bathroom even though it was unhealthy for drinking.

She wished she ignored the sound that came from the main Kitchen when she was getting her water or she didn't give in to his sweet words.

Nancy cried until her eyes were swollen.

Feeling like the worst, She dragged herself from the floor, undressed, and went straight to her bathroom where she took extra time in scrubbing herself, trying to get the smell of sex and also Connor's scent off her body.

After what felt like forever, She finished. She dried herself, changed into another night dress, and went to bed.

Remembering how much of a fool she made of herself, another round of tears welled up in her eyes. 

............

Connor wakes up early most of the time but today was just different. He had no idea why he was feeling very funny. He hardly had any sleep before his alarm went off at 6:00am

Because he was feeling tired and dizzy, he turned off the alarm and decided to get more sleep, ignoring the fact that he had morning meetings to attend in the office.

Just when he was starting to fall asleep again, his phone buzzed on his nightstand which made him groan. Before reaching for it, Connor promised himself that he was going to fire his secretary if she was the one calling him.

But looking at the caller ID, he saw that it was Diane. He hissed, answering the call anyways.

"Hi, baby!" Her high-pitched voice came through.

"What do you want, Diane?"

"What do you mean by what do I want? Can't I call to know how my baby is doing?"

"I'm not in the mood. What do you want?"

"Isn't it too early for you to be in a bad mood?"

"Or do you want me to stop by the office and give you a head?"

"Aren't you meant to be in Paris?"

"I came back early to surprise you. My birthday is in two days and I want to spend it with you. Well, I hope you have a huge surprise planned out for me. I honestly can't wait!" She giggled, making Conner roll his eyes.

"God!!! Connor!!!! Don't tell me you weren't planning anything for me!" She voiced out when he didn't give any response to her last statement.

"You were to be in Paris for one more week. How the hell do you expect me to make plans when you are going to be absent?"

"So even if I didn't come back, you were not planning to send me gifts over there or fly to meet me?!"

"Stop being ridiculous, Diane. It's just your birthday! I mean we have a great time whenever we are together. We are still going to have more fun together that will make up for all of it."

"I don't care! I want a gift! One that will leave me speechless." She whined.

"And don't you leave your boring secretary in charge of everything."

Connor didn't say anything. Instead, he was regretting picking up her call.

"You still up for the head? I've missed you so much, baby."

"I'm not in the mood, Diane. We will talk later." He hung up, not giving her the chance to say anything else.

Knowing how stubborn Diane could be, he turned off his phone immediately.

Connor shut his eyes with the intention to meditate a little before getting up and preparing for work but as soon as he closed his eyes, a knock came through on the door.

"Who the hell is that?????" He said at the top of his voice, with his eyes closed.

He got no answer. Instead, another knock came through again.

Connor mumbled some inaudible words. He rose to his feet in nothing but his briefs, ready to give whoever it was his piece of mind.

Opening the door, he sighted the face that literally tormented him the whole night. The reason he couldn't have any sleep and why his head was banging.

He threw her glares and was about to open his mouth and lash out at her when the very familiar voice came through.

"Why are you scaring the poor girl? Did she do anything to offend you?"

It was only then that Connor noticed his mother. She was standing beside Nancy with a tray while Nancy had the cleaning trolley with her.
