I arrived at work early, memories of what happened in my dreams still afresh in my mind.
" I am you and you are me?" What did she mean by that?
It's my first time hearing something as absurd as that. Although it's absurd,I know better than to ignore those words repeating in my mind like a broken record.
I can't tell my mates about this, it's too absurd to even fathom. Even I am having a hard time understanding. I can't tell Mark about this either, he might call me crazy. Worse would be, he will suspect me.
That's the last thing I want now.
During lunch break, I decided to head over to Lorenzo's office.
After much contemplation, I figured out that I went too far with my acting. Having Lorenzo unhappy with me will hinder many of my plans.
I knocked on his door, a bug securely hidden in my pants pockets.
Apart from making up with him, I also plan on taking a step forward with my plan.
I want to hasten the plans and reveal the culprit
Knocking on his door with a smile, Lorenzo allows me in.
I make sure to close the door behind me before walking to him.
Lorenzo was seated behind his work table, his eagle-like eyes regarding me suspiciously.
" Hi?" I open my mouth and say, pretending to be nervous.
" Hi Tessa, what can I do for you?" He answers, his tone a little cold.
I figured out whatever I said last night must have upset him really badly.
Honestly, I don't give a damn about his anger. It has nothing to do with me. Given the chance to do it all over again, I would have said more hurtful words, Maybe even called him a bastard but that's not what I am acting now.
Unless I want to fail in my plan, I have to act my role as his disgusting mistress.
" Lorenzo, look, I'm sorry." I say, biting my bottom lip and counting on my seductive act to appease the man.
The bastard says nothing, just keeps his eyes locked on my face.
I fight the urge to roll my eyes or bash at him for being unresponsive.
Can't he see I am trying my best here? If it wasn't for the case,I would not even bother being here apologizing to a frivolous man like him.
" I know you are mad at me. You deserve to be mad, after all, last night I behaved like a b***h. I swear I don't know what came over me. I am probably just in a bad mood." I explain, trying to justify myself.
Those words leaving my mouth and imagining to whom I was saying them really made me feel disgusted.
But what can I do? If I had a better plan, I would not be here humiliating myself like this.
" Come here," Lorenzo said, beckoning me to go to him and that I would.
With my head held low to show how sorry I am, I walk until I stand a meter away from him.
" Look at me." Lorenzo commands and I roll my eyes at him this time since he can't see me.
Slowly, I lift my face and meet his eyes, boring holes into my face.
" I don't want what happened last night to repeat itself." He commands and I nod in agreement.
Lorenzo gets up from his chair, a remote at hand. He presses a button and the blinds cover the windows, giving us privacy.
He walks to me before lifting me and placing me on top of his working table.
I panic.
My heart starts beating faster knowing that the guy would want something from me, otherwise why would he draw the blinds.
" You know that I love you Tessa and I am willing to give you everything so you can remain by my side but asking me to divorce my wife and marry you is way out of line." He murmurs, his breath fanning my neck.
I swallow hard, not out of anticipation but from disgust.
It takes everything in me not to push the bastard away from my body but despite the crawling feeling, I know that I can't do it.
Lorenzo pushes my hair aside before he nibbles on my neck.
I fake a moan, pretending to enjoy his touch.
Lorenzo does not linger around for long but the itching from my neck tells me that he must have left a bruise.
I curse inwardly, hoping that I don't get to meet my mates, otherwise, I don't know how to explain.
Being the jealous freaks they are, who knows what they will do to Lorenzo.
Slowly, I retrieve the bug from my pocket and when Lorenzo is busy assaulting the other side of my neck, I plant it at the lower side of his table.
The chip is small, too small that it resembles a button.
It would be hard for him to notice it.
Just when he is about to kiss my lips, I push him away.
Lorenzo stares at me suspiciously, making me smile nervously.
" I had shrimp for lunch so my mouth will have the aftertaste. You hate shrimps. I am afraid you will be disgusted by my kisses." I explain hoping he doesn't take offense.
After observing me for a while, he lets me go.
" I have an important meeting on Thursday morning, clear by schedule for the whole day." Lorenzo instructs.
" Meeting? I don't think you have any meeting scheduled?" I have been studying his schedule and there's no meeting on Thursday morning.
Besides, if it's a meeting, why would he be gone for the whole day?
" I am meeting with important people who will help is capture that b***h Melissa whites." He says and my fists clenched tightly.
All I want is to connect my fists with his ugly face.
Bitch? How dare he use such a demeaning word after setting me up?
Using me as a scapegoat and planning crimes? I will make them all pay.
" It's an official meeting then why Is it not included in your schedule?" Despite my displeasure,I ask, hoping he could spill more beans.
" You ask too many questions, just do your job." Lorenzo reprimands and I take that as my cue to leave his office.
Jumping down and straightening my clothes, I excuse myself.
Just when I am about to exit the door, Lorenzo says, " The meeting is confidential, nobody should know about it."
" Yes, commander." With that, I walk away.
