Chapter 3 The Regret

Oh God.

I shouldn't have gone to that bar and drunk.

What are you saying?

You never knew he would be there.

You should be glad that the one and only Adrian Marcus looked your way.

How I wish I could turn the hands of time.

I wouldn't have slept with him.

You never knew it was going to happen.

You were drunk Leah, Lucy said.

Stop torturing yourself because of that, you are making me sad.

Lucy tapped my shoulder, It's okay don't think about it, Maybe he did not notice you, don't worry about it

Do you think so, I hope you are right.

A few minutes after.

Our manager Austin,

Comes in and calls out my name, " Leah" Mr Adrain wants you in his office now!.

I wanted the ground to open and swallow me.

Oh no.

Oh My God.

Am finished.

I'm dead!!!

Should I just resign, What will he do to me when I reach his office

Oh God

Why me of all people

I quickly went to his office

Outside his office, I shakily knocked at his door twice.

Hearing his deep bass voice

"Come in"

I reluctantly waited for a few seconds before opening the door.

I still can't believe it, the man in a bathrobe this morning, is right in my face in my workplace and he is my boss and the richest heir in the world.

This life is truly full of surprises.

I stood there quietly while he went through some documents without acknowledging my presence in his office.

My legs were shaking so fast and my heart was beating so fast.

I breathe in and out, I hold myself I said Mr Adrian you sent for me.

He left the documents and lifted his head slowly.

I cheerfully smiled at him.

He stared at me from head to toe.

He was smiling at me.

I was so confused...

Why is he smiling at me..

Am I smelling?

Is my dress appropriate?

I was so uncomfortable and I tried to be the best I can that the only thing I could do to keep my job.

I felt so bad that I could cry but I have to hold it in, I know I made a big mistake last night but that does not give him the right to think that I am not responsible.

I said to him, Is there anything I could help you with. With a smile on my face.

He looked at me, as he was about to say something I replied.

Well isn't professional to talk about our private life at work but sir you shouldn't be the judge here, You enjoyed yourself so as I, we should be professional.

I saw the expression on his face and he looked furious.

Dammm Leah.

I'm losing my job.

I just kept staring at the floor unable to look at him.

When will I learn to control my throat, If you don't you may lose your job.

I slowly looked up and looked at him and our eyes met.

He was staring at me and I couldn't help but read him or his expression.

He was just smiling..

Thought Miss Leah that I wouldn't meet you again but it is what it is.

As you can see, I am a busy man and I can get any woman.

I couldn't believe that he called me to his office just to clarify the misunderstanding, that he was not a prostitute, that I'm the one who is one, I was so sad but I have to understand he is rich and could do anything that he wants

I understand sir, I said with a smile on my face

We just have to move past this and act as if nothing happened

That night never happened, can we...... before I could finish what I was saying..

He threw a dollar bill on the table.

I look at him with surprise, I look at him and I am surprised.

"That 300 was the service you gave to me, it was not good but I have to give you a little tip so and learn how to satisfy a man, I'm just saying you were not good but it is worth a little. He says in a sarcastic way."

I was so angry that I had to bite my lower lip to stay calm.

What do you mean that I am not good enough, Who do you think I am, a slut that sleeps with every man she sees?

So demeaning and annoying.

I try to calm myself down and control my temper

I reminded myself that I needed this job to pay off the loan.

Sir you don't need to pay me, let's just move on as I was about to leave.

"Why aren't you taking the money, I don't want to owe you anything so take the money".

I put a smile on my face and picked up the 300 and I left his office as fast as my legs could carry me.

I went straight to Lucy's desk.

Come here.

What were you guys talking about?

"Why did he ask for? What did he say to you? I want to hear everything, tell me everything, she asks" at the same time

I sighed and replied to her" To tell me that he wasn't a prostitute"

You mean that is what you guys were talking about since

What else were you expecting

I looked at her... There is no way I'm telling you that he made me look like a prostitute, and to make it waste he paid me 300 dollars for the sex, she would laugh at me.

She was laughing at me.

I just shrugged.

I told you you were just worried for nothing, I knew he was not that type of person.

But wait" You can't certainly mean that is all you two talked for about thirty minutes.

Lucy giggled, I thought you guys.......

There is nothing my dear.

He can never love someone like me

Oh my god

Well, I thought he might have fallen for you after last night and you guys will start a beautiful and romantic journey of relationship.

"Get that idea out of your head, I'm not interested".

We both know I and Mr Adrian aren't on the same level.

Well is true, things can change.

Nothing can change my dear.
