Chapter 8: beg

" He actually didn't say that. He said' I'll pay you more if you sleep with me," I immitated what I thought was Alex's voice and Sheebalie laughed."What's so funny?" I asked.

"Alex probably don't talk like that but it doesn't matter he's still an asshole."she said now serious. I nodded agreeing with her. We talked alittle of how a bad person Alex is even in the business. Sheebalie said she has talked with him for so many times during business meetings and galas but he's always an asshole.

Why don't you work in my company?" Sheebalie suddenly said. Work in her company as what. I'm only a psychiatrist I don't think I can handle any other job." As a psychiatrist of course." She said as if she had read my mind.

"Huuuh? But where?" I asked confused.

"I can rent an office for you and you'll be working there."she said.

"But you said in your company."I asked to confirm if I'm hearing my things.

"Ooh I said company? Well no, I'll rent the space."she said.

"But that's too much hustle. What if I don't make much money to pay you back your money?"

"I thought it's not about money it's about helping people?"she said smiling . I turned red for being red handed but I was not lying when I said it's about helping people. I really like helping people but we can't live without money can we?"I just love that you've helped me so much and I want you to help others too and it's such a waste when you're jobless when I have the power to lift you up. Think of it as a thanks gift for helping me."she said touching my shoulders smiling.

"But I can't really accept this gift. It's too much for me." I said thinking of how of a big deal this is for me.

"Ooh it's not for me. So you should not worry about it."she said. " Can you be ready to start by Wednesday?"she asked.

"But that's too soon. Will everything be ready by then?" I asked shocked.

"Yeah who do you think your sister is? A lazy bone?" She asked laughing as if she's made a joke.

"Sister"I asked surprised when she called me sister.

"Of course. I've always wanted to have a sister and since you're probably one of the few people I talk to freely then you can be my sister." She excitedly said.

"If that's fine with you of course." She added.

",Of course it's fine." I said with a faint smile. Now this will be fucking awkward but I'm surprised when I don't really feel the awkwardness rather I kinda like it. Maybe she's not my crush I just really admire her. Who wouldn't anyways. She's beautiful and successful and smart. My friends are gonna freak out when I tell them how Sheebalie personality is admirable. For some reason they don't like her but I like her and that's all that matters. We talked for a while and it was time to leave so I told her to drop me at the office so I can get my car and write a resignation letter. She dropped me and soon I reached near the office and I saw Angela bored and when she noticed me she came running.

"You won't believe what happened."she said playing that suspense game that I hate.

"Go to the point Angie I'm really not in the mood for your suspense right now."I said rolling my eyes. My mood is actually not that bad considering the mood I was in when I got from the office earlier with Sheebalie.

"Boooo you are not fun. Anyways your remember Alex. He destroyed everything in your office and now he's in there. I don't really know what to do so I was waiting for you to solve the issue."she said so fast that I almost missed some words. I was so shocked about what I heard but then I remembered it's not my office anymore. It's his office anyway what do I have to worry about.

"It's not my office anymore. I'm here to actually re-sign."I told Angela smiling.

"What, ma'am you can not do this. This is one of the best hospital and it pays so good .where will you find a job like this one. And what about me? I'm used to you so much I'm not ready to part with you."Angela said in the verge of tears.

"Wait, you can continue being my secretary." I suddenly said.

"Wait really. But you are resigning and probably they have secretary where you'll get a job?" Angela said.

"Naah they don't. I'll be working for Sheebalie. She said she's gonna rent a space for me and it will be ready by Wednesday."

You mean miss Sheebalie your patient? Can you really trust her?"she asked.

"I don't know but something in me tells me I can really trust her. I don't really know how though but I just trust her."I explained.

"Well ma'am if you really trust her then I really do trust your instincts. Are we resigning or what?"she asked now happily. She didn't even ask me why I a accepted Sheebalie's offer like who follows someone like that. I smiled anyway.

"Sure we are."I answered smiling and prepared to see the man who's in my office well his office as he said. I didn't bother to knock so I just entered and I was surprised with all I saw. My desk broken the couch was no better either like everything looked a mess. What takes for a man to do all this. Anger I answered myself as some people vent their anger by destroying things. Maybe his report was not all wrong then. He do have issues. Good thing I had carried my laptop with me otherwise everything would have been destroyed it included. I walked in further and I saw him. He was seated at the glass window staring outside. Maybe he did not hear me come in. I thought of turning back so that he doesn't see me but just as I was about to turn around he spoke with his deep voice.

"So you're back huh,?" He asked still looking outside."you've learnt from your stupid mistake then and my you want to beg when you have realised you can't go against me huh?" He continued. Is he serious. Me beg him? Over my dead body. I was about to speak when he continued,"you don't have to you may have your job back, only if you kiss me right now."he said and I couldn't believe it. What did I expect from a bastard like him.

"Actually I came to resign."I announced proudly. He thought he's gonna take my dignity for this job. He immediately looked at me smirking.

"There's no way you're gonna quit. This hospital pays the best and you're not gonna get another good job as this one." He said smiling.

"Well I've already submitted my resignation letter ," I lied and he immediately stopped smiling. He started walking to me with unhurried steps and I stepped back with every step he took until I stepped on one of the broken things and I felt myself falling.' ohh no don't let me fall.  I closed my eyes as I waited for the pain but it did not come. I opened my eyes and I was greeted with his that were looking at me. I stared at them and quickly averted my gaze elsewhere when I felt his eyes sucking me in. It was like I was being hypnotised or something.

"Thanks"I muttered.

"Mmmmh"he hummed but did not let go of me. He just stared at me."why do you want to leave me so much?" He asked and I was shocked with the question.

"What are you saying?""I asked in a whisper.

*Are you really a lesbian?" He asked totally ignoring my question.

"Huhh?"I was confused.

"Is she your girlfriend?"he asked again but I didn't answer."talk dammit."he hissed angrily.

"What would you do if she was?" I asked back. He just stared at my face and the next moment his lips were touching mine. I froze, no this can't be happening. I opened my eyes and saw he had closed his and I was mesmerized with the scene I saw. He looked so handsome. No Kim you're supposed to be pushing him away. I reminded myself but he bit my lower lip and I gasped as he entered his tongue in my mouth. I couldn't help but close my eyes at the sensation. It felt too good but before I started moving my tongue he pulled away. I opened my eyes and that's when I remembered I should push him away so I started pushing him away violently.
