Chapter 16

"Where are you going to" His question re-sounded in her head. She didn't know where she was going to, but she knew she needed to leave here if she wanted to keep her job.

Although now that she thinks about it, she can't escape this, because even though she leaves, she would still have to come back to meet him. Anyways she would still get queried.

Releasing a long sigh, she turned around to face him,getting herself prepared for whatever that was coming. "sir?"

"I would have queried you, but thinking through, it's my fault to begin with so I will leave you on this, although I don't want such useless misunderstanding happening again, learn to handle them".Raymond says and continued whatever he was doing on his PC.

"yes sir!" Tina replied, relieved instantly washing over her, it wasn't what she was expecting at all. She had even already started planning on how she would break the news about getting sacked to Bridget and Andrew.

Silly her.

But now she was so relieved to the point her lips had involuntarily spread into a wide smile."Thank you sir" She uttered still smiling widely.

Raymond raised his head and shot her a quick glance then lower it back at his PC. But then, before he could go back to what he was doing, the image of her face earlier got fully registered in his mind, the next instant he shot his head up again.

She was smiling.

Raymond froze as he stared at her face. It was the first time he was seeing her smile. Wait, what was he saying, he had just known her! But still her smile was so beautiful, he couldn't help but get mesmerised. He confirmed within that even Lerisa's didn't match up to this.

That reminds him,where's Larisa?, He asked himself mindlessly as he kept on staring at her face. Seconds after he asked himself after her, Larisa walked into the office.

"I'm back Ray!" Her voice rang through the office.

The instant, Tina smile washed off her face and Raymond broke out of his trance. Tina looked at her and noticed she had changed her dress. 'She really went to change her dress!' she thought, this girl wasn't normal, she was sure of it.

"Welcome back" Raymond replied, his eyes now glued to his PC. Larisa smiled as she heard his reply and in quick steps, walked over to him. Standing beside him, she checked what he was doing, seeing it was work related she decided to help him and in the next moment, they were enveloped in discussion of work.

Tina feet stood rooted to the floor, just watching them. It wasn't long before her legs started hurting. When she couldn't take it anymore, she remembered she hasn't gotten him his requested coffee yet.

"Sir, what about the coffee" She asked a bit desperately. She wanted nothing but to stretch her legs and she found this a good opportunity.

"Don't bother, I don't want it anymore" Raymond replied without looking at her. Tina face fall at his reply. Earlier, she was starting to get a glimpse of hope that Raymond was a nice man but now..

Now what was she she going to do? She whine within. "Okay sir " she forced a reply and continued standing in pain. Not long after she asked another question.

"Sir, is there anything i can do....for you?" She was tired of standing and plus her legs were hurting badly in this heels, she needed to do something.

On hearing her questions, Raymond this time, raised his head to answer her. He knew she was tired of standing but he just felt like making her suffer a bit. It was in his blood, since he was little, he bullies anyone he got the chance to and he enjoyed it and Tina was his prey for the day, but the moment his eyes met her face, all evil thoughts left him. Her face looked so strained and her legs ,they were so red and sore.

Clearing his throat, he replied regardless "No".

Tina groaned, she was about ask him to let her sit down but his voice interrupted. "You may sit though".

Tina eyes widened and that glimpse of hope returned back. She sighed in relive as she sat down."Thank you sir". She says before quickly pulling the hook of her heels and as she pulled the shoes off, her red swollen feet came into view.

Raymond eyes widen as his eyes met her feet, he was about to tell her it wasn't necessary to wear heels but he held himself, he wasn't going to consider her feelings again. He considered it the first time and it landed her this job without him thinking twice about it and that was a dangerous move. She was still under probation and so wasn't trustable.

But damn, those feet looks bad!.

Hours later, she was done for the day, though she didn't do anything. She was taken home by Raymond men in their car, although she was greatful, she didn't like being in the same car with many men.

In no time they reached Bridget's home. She thanked them as she alighted from the car. Entering, she met Bridget already lying on the couch. 'How come she came earlier than her?' she wondered as she dropped heavily on the couch.

"How was work" Bridget asked.

Tina sighed as she replied "Weird".
