Elara's Point of View
The ride back to my house was quiet. Mr. Black drove my car while his lawyer drove his. I had so many questions for him. Once we made it back to the house, Clara went up to her room to pack her bags.
Mr. Black followed me to my room. Once we were there, I closed my door. "Why did you help me?" I asked
"Because you are my assistant. I don't let anyone mess with what's mine," Mr. Black said
"Huh?" I asked. For some reason, I didn't think he did it because I was his assistant.
"You heard me." We were just staring into each other's eyes. Neither of us spoke
"I don't know if you believe your girlfriend Chloe, but I am not a whore."
"Chloe is not my girlfriend."
"Then your side peace or s*x buddy. Whatever you call her," I replied
"Look, Elara. You got all of this wrong. There is nothing going on between Chloe and me. Well, at least not anymore."
"You expect me to believe that," I asked. I tried to walk away from him, but he shocked me by pushing me softly up against the wall. The movement made me excited. I could feel my p***y getting wet. Suddenly, Mr. Black sniffed the air, and a growl like sound left his lips.
"I told you that nothing is going on between Chloe and me. We used to have a thing, but not anymore. She was never my girlfriend or anything like that, but as I said, it is over now," Mr. Black said
"I don't know why you are telling me. I don't care," I said, and I was shocked when a smile made its way to Mr. Black's face. It looked so genuine, and I liked it when he smiled
"Of course you don't."
"I need to talk to my sister. I am sure she is so confused right now," I said, and he slowly let go of me. "Okay."'
I walked to Clara's room and knocked on her door. "Clara, can I come in?" I asked
"Yeah," Clara replied. When I opened the door, she was sitting on her bed when I walked inside
"I can't believe Mr. Black came to the school today?" Clara said as I sat beside her on the bed
"Me either. How do you feel about everything?" I asked
"I don't know. I am happy that he helped us but I am also confused. Why didn't you tell me that we were going to move?" Clara asked
"I didn't tell you because I wasn't planning on moving. I told Mr. Black that this morning when I met him at the office. I didn't know any of this was going to happen," I said. Clara just stayed silent. "So, how do you feel about moving. If you don't want to then we don't have to," I said
"I am okay with it, I guess. I mean, I don't think we have a choice now anyway. Not after what happened at school. Mrs. Jenny said our house is not a good place to live and tried to use it to take me away. I don't want to live with anyone else but you. Unless you don't want me to," Clara said
"Clara, what are you talking about? You know I want you to stay with me. You are my sister and I won't let anyone take you away from me," I said as I hugged her. She hugged me back without hesitation.
"We need to finish packing. Mr. Black is waiting for us" I said
"Okay," Clara said as she got up from her bed. "What is the relationship between you and Mr. Black?" Clara asked suddenly
"He is just my boss," I said
"Are you sure?" Clara asked
"Yes," I replied
"If you say so," Clara said
"What do you mean," I asked
"I just don't think that someone that is just your boss would help us the way he did. I think he might have feelings for you," Clara said
"What? No. There is no way he has feelings for me. We don't even know each other and we are from two different worlds," I said
"Are you sure? I see the way he looks at you and the way you look at him. It didn't look like a boss and employee type of thing," Clara said
"You are overthinking. Mr. Black doesn't have feelings for me and I definitely don't have any for him," I said, though deep down I knew I was lying. I was definitely starting to gain feelings for him. Who wouldn't after what he had just done for me.
"If you say so," Clara said.
"I am going to go finish packing my things," I said
"Okay," Clara said and I left.
***************
"We are home," Mr. Black said. I looked at the house and was speechless. It wasn't anything like I thought it would be. It was a mansion.
"This is where we are going to be staying?" Clara asked
"Yes, this is where a lot of the other employees stay. I also stay here," Mr. Black said
"You do?" I asked shocked
"Yep. I am on floor eight. The two of you will also be on that floor," Mr. Black said.
We got out of the car and headed inside. Everyone we walked past stared at us. Mr. Black stopped at an elevator and pressed floor eight.
This is where the two of you will be staying," Mr. Black said, and he opened the door with a key. When we walked inside, we were in a living room that had a brown couch and a loveseat. There was a TV on the wall as well. There was a dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms.
"There is also a kitchen on the main floor where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served. It is fully stocked, so you can get something if you want a snack or want to make something at other times. You can also use your kitchen. I had someone go to the store and get some food for you. If there is something else you need, you can let me know, and I will make sure that you get it."
"I am sure whatever is in there is fine. If we need something, we can go get it, thanks," I replied
"Well, I will leave you to get settled. I will come and get you once dinner is ready," Mr. Black said
"Okay, thank you," I said
"Of course. All, and if you need me, my room is right across from yours," Mr. Black said
"You are right across the hall?" I asked
"Yep. Um, I have some things I need to take care of. I will see you later."
"And you say he doesn't have feelings for you," Clara said as she started to walk to her new room.
