CHAPTER TWO
1009 Words
I turned around to recall where I was but it seems my memory failed me. I pushed away the duvet on my body and saw blood stains on the bed sheet.
"s**t! I've lost it!" I scratched my hair with my fingers angrily.
My phone vibrated and it was my boss, "I have paid, make sure to be in the office this morning"
My phone fell off my hand as I recalled what happened last night. It was all my fault but what he did made me feel bad. I don't think I will be at the office today because I can't face the shame of sleeping with my boss.
I quickly showered and moved to the hospital.
"Doctor, any problem?"
"Were you not supposed to be with your mother throughout the night?"
I felt terribly hurt and embarrassed. "I am sorry, I went for a meeting"
Miss Hamza didn't utter a word, instead she left me standing in the corridor. I was just pacing from one end to another thinking of what to do.
"Good morning sir" I slowly said with my head bent and was staring at my shoes.
Floyd Meyer swung on his chair and faced me. I managed to bring my head up and saw him smiling at me.
"I never knew you would be able to face me this morning after having a lovely night yesterday"
I felt pinned to the ground that my legs and hands were already cold. I just wish he didn't mention that.
"You are very good in bed and very beautiful. I never knew that a pretty damsel like you could still be a virgin"
I felt beats of heat dropping down from my thighs. My clothes were pitching on my skin. If only the ground would open and swallow me. I feel used at this point.
"Sir, can I get back to work?" I calmly said, watching the tone of my voice.
He opened his drawer and brought out an envelope. He threw it on his desk towards me. "That is ten thousand dollars. Take it and sort yourself out. Thank you for last night and please, face your work as my secretary"
Wow! That money was more than what I needed. But I felt a slap on my face. He is paying me off for using me last night. This money can't bring back my dignity.
"Sorry sir, but I don't need it" I saw the shock on his face.
"You know how poor you are and am sure you need this for the sake of your mother"
He used my mom's health to torture me but I an not that kind of lady. I ran out of his office and wept bitterly. It was a careless mistake I never wished to make in my entire life.

(Ravey's Pov)
I walked into my father's mansion and was welcomed by a pretty lady that I barely know about.
"Who are you?" I asked in a polite manner.
"I am Laura Douglas," she said, feeling herself.
I didn't utter a word. I only observed her.
"Hey! Good to see you, son"
"Father" I walked towards him and shaked hands with him.
"Ravey?" That was my sweet mom's voice.
"Yes mom" I went and gave her a hug.
"It's been a while"
"Yeah, because you refused to see us. Laura follow Rose to the kitchen and prepare something for my son"
I saw the lady bow while smiling. She followed my mother immediately to the kitchen. I was so eager to know who she was.
My father held me by the hand and took me to his room.
"Dad, who is Laura?" I was anxious.
"She is the daughter of President Douglas Incorporated. I have a business deal with her father and it will be a wise thing if you marry his daughter. It will make you more richer"
I was shocked to hear my father say that. "You had a deal and never cared to inform me?"
"I started this company first and it's my duty to bring you to a certain level with my connections. This deal is worth one billion dollars, son! Don't let us loose this"
The amount was very huge and tempting but I can't marry her. She wasn't enticing to my eyes when I saw her a few minutes ago.
"Father, is that why you called me here?" I was losing my patience.
"Of course! Is that not enough reason? If you don't accept this, then you will leave me with no choice than to give the company to my nephew" he snapped and walked out of the room, leaving me helpless.
Driving in the street of Vegas, a lady was crossing the road but walking like a dead corpse. I blew the horn several times but she was too deaf to hear.
I purposely matched my break, making a scary sound but she didn't notice. I came down from my car.
"Hey! Are you okay?" I screamed, and she jerked.
"Sorry" that all came out of her mouth. I noticed she was looking lost and worried. I hurriedly parked my car beside the road and rushed to her.
"Do you need help?" There was no response. I touched her shoulder and she was startled. She looked at me and I could see tears running down from her eyes.
"Do you care to share your problems with me? I promise to help" Even though I don't know what kind of help she needs.
She looks so pretty and elegant. I became inquisitive to know what was troubling the beautiful creature.
"Today is the last day given to me by the doctor to pay for my mother's brain surgery, else she will die" she already had a runny nose.
I brought out my new handkerchief and cleaned her face. "How much is the fee?"
"Eight thousand dollars"
I smiled because the money seems small to me but I understand that not everyone can afford such. "Take me to the hospital. I will help you"
