Chapter 136

Chris was stunned hearing her call him by his name, he had been wanting to hear her call him by his name but she has not been able to do that

but right now she called him effortlessly and it sounded so sweet in his ears, it was like music to his ears

"what did you just call me now" Chris raised a brow

"uhhmmm, I mean Sir" she quickly realized what she just said and retracted

"you called me by name and I like it very much" he confessed

Jane was shy she didn't know how to react to that she wasn't even thinking when she called him by his name so she stammered

"you wanted to say something?" he asked her

"well I just wanted to know if you were fine, the way you reacted the other time I was kind of worried about you" Jane said not daring to look into his eyes

Chris enveloped her in a tight hug, he felt quite emotional knowing someone cares for him so much like this

"thank you for caring for me, I appreciate it" Chris said

"you can count on me for anything that you want, and I'm here if you want to talk about anything at all, it's not so good to bottle up everything inside you, it's bad for your heart" Jane complained

"I wish I can tell you everything but I can't" Chris laughed sarcastically as he dissolved the hug and walked into the office

Jane felt somewhat frustrated, just when she thinks she's getting somewhere with him, anytime she feels like he was about to open up to her, he withdraws again, she's tired of his lukewarm attitude

Chris sat down on his office chair

"is it because I'm your maid, is that why you don't want to tell me?" Jane inquired, she felt that was the reason he was keeping distant from her, after all he was still her boss no matter how many times they get intimate

Chris eyes darkened when he heard, is that all she thinks of herself to him

Chris stood up and walked towards her he bent himself a bit so he could be able to look into her eyes

"hey Jane look at me" Chris said

Jane didn't want to oblige she somehow felt that she has said something wrong

"I said look at me" Chris said, his voice was subtle yet firm Jane could not resist it this time so she looked at him

"is that all you think you are to me, my maid?" he asked

Jane nodded shyly, she knew she was more than that to him, but she doesn't know what exactly

"I've you seen the way I treat my other employees?"

Jane nodded again

"is that the way I treat you?" he asked her

"no" she spoke up this time

"then why would you say that" he asked

"that's because I don't even know what you are to me or what we are to each other, first you were so cold and arrogant to me when I started working for you, then you accused me wrongly and called me all sort of names

you fired me, came to my house and asked me to come back to work, you adopted my son, allowed us to stay in your mansion, we've gotten intimate few times

you don't even allow me to do my job, you even allow me shop for expensive clothes with your money, what are all these for what am I to you, why are you doing this for me?

what is the definition of what we are, are we just boss and employee cause boss and employee don't kiss each other passionately or pleasure each other, what are we exactly, please tell me cause I want to know where I stand"

Jane finally managed to pull out all the questions and emotions she has been keeping to herself

Chris was dumbfounded, he didn't know what to say or how to say it, cause the truth is he also doesn't know what they were, all knows is that he can't explain how or what he even feels, everything just happened so fast, in the past two months a lot has happened and changed

seeing that he said nothing, Jane broke down she felt used and cheated she felt he had been taking advantage of her just to please himself, she ran to the restroom amidst tears

"hey Jane wait up we can talk about this" Chris ran after her but she had already slammed the door before he could make it to her on time

"Jane open this door" Chris knocked on the door but she didn't answer

"Jane for goodness sake, answer me" Chris kept knocking

"I will not allow you take advantage of me just because I'm your maid" Jane finally spoke, her voice was husky it was so obvious that she was crying

"what the hell, of course you know that's not true, I'm not taking advantage of you" Chris said, he has not explained himself to anyone like this in a long while, but here he was acting like a fool in front of Jane

"then why won't you give me a straight answer, why won't you answer me directly?" she questioned him

"because I don't have the answers to the questions that you ask me, I swear I don't have a clue, I told you before Jane I like you I want you that's all I can say for now, I can't explain or express how I feel more than this" he said in frustration

' can she just stop being so difficult ' Chris snorted

"Jane just come out here, stop crying" Chris begged her severally before she finally obliged

Jane opened the door, but as soon she she stepped her feet outside the restroom, Chris caught her in his arms and carried her

"what are you doing, put me down" Jane said

"shhh, don't make so much noise" Chris said not listening to her

"but what are you doing?" Jane said

"I'm going to punish you" he said and placed her on the couch
