NORA “Ms. Nora!” “Ms. Nora!” “Please forgive us!” They rushed forward and fell on their knees, pleading and begging. I immediately moved back, not liking that action in one bit. “Please forgive us ma’am, we’re so sorry. We didn’t know what came over us. Please forgive us!” One of them begged with tears flowing out of her eyes. Sadly, I’m not one to fall easily ..these are just mere crocodile tears. “Ms. Nora… I mean, boss, were they troubling you?” Manager Ben asked. “Yeah, because I dressed this way, they called me a thief and dirty street girl; they also wanted me out of here!” I answered, and the girls wailed loudly. “Oh please, Ms. Nora, our boss, I don’t have any other job. My mother is sick, and this is the only place I rely on. Please, I’m so sorry; I promise I would never do this again. I would never be rude to anyone, please!” The same girl who addressed me as a pauper begged like her life depended on it. “Manager Ben!” I called without staring at him. “Yes, ma’am,” “Pay them this month and next month's salary, and as for her, confirm if her mother is sick and cover the hospital bills, but for now, they’re all fired!” I ordered strictly, and my eyes fell on the staff at the lobby. They all stared at me, waiting for my next move. But I will forgive them; their eyes spoke, but their mouths didn’t move. “As for her, Lisa, right?” I face the girl who stood up for me. “Y…y…yes….yes ma’am. Please forgive me, ma’am!” She also fell on her knees. “Oh, please stop,” I immediately held her shoulders and lifted her up. “Please, ma’am, I didn’t know it was you. Please forgive me!” she pleaded, her hands folded together. “No, Lisa, you didn’t wrong me, so I won’t fire you, what’s your rank here?” I asked. “I….I…I’m just a mere customer service,” she replied. “Ben, give her a promotion. Move her to the finance board and also do unto these three what I assigned you to do!” I commanded. “Yes, ma’am,” Manager Ben nodded. “Thank you very much , ma'am; thank you, ma'am.” “Please forgive us, ma'am.” “Ma'am, forgive us.” “Let me show you to your office for now,” Manager Ben said, leading the way, and I followed. We entered the elevator, and before it closed, I saw one of the girls pleading with Damon, her hands on his pants . The elevator door closed, and I let out a short sigh. I’m glad I made the right decision; I didn’t let emotions take the best side of me. “Ma’am, your showing up was so surprising; why didn’t you inform me? We would have thrown a party for you,” Manager Ben said, and I smiled. “I returned some days back, and I didn’t plan on showing up this way. Just wanted to pull a small show,” I laughed. “We’re glad you’re here, ma'am,” Manager Ben said, and I nodded. “I’m glad too” The elevator door dinged open, and he led while I followed shortly behind. “Good day, sir,” The people sitting in the hallway greeted while we walked past. “Good day, sir,” “Please don’t greet me too much when Ms. Nora is walking behind me. What’s wrong with you all? Is it that you don’t recognize your boss?” Manager Ben scolded, and everyone immediately rose to their feet. “Welcome, ma’am!” They all chorused. “We’re so glad to have you here!” They said it with smiles on their faces. I didn’t say a word and followed Ben into the office. It was vast and beautiful. Everything was set up just like how my office in Italy looks . Bravo. “This is good!” I admitted. “Thank you , ma'am; thank you for believing in me,” he said, and I smiled, patting his shoulders. “I should be thanking you for being a good man.” I patted his shoulders and sat on the chair. “Thank you, I will leave you for now!” He bowed and took his leave. My eyes fell on the glass wall, and it was a great view. I heard the door click open, and I turned around as Damon walked in. “What are you still doing here?” I asked immediately, and unlike him, he kept quiet and slowly walked towards me. That action of his made me very wary. I rose from my chair, “I asked what you are doing here?” I repeated, my fingers pointed at him. “Da…” He caught my hand and pushed me, pinning me against the table while he hovered behind me. “What are you doing? Let go of me!” I struggled, and his hands fell on my waist, holding me down. “Damon!” “Tell me you don’t feel me anymore Nora, tell me your heart doesn't beat for me anymore Nora, tell me you don’t want me this close to you!” His hot breath fanned my ears as his hands brushed my waist, sending tingles all over my body. “Tell me you don’t love me anymore, Nora, for I know you still do. The way you look at me always gave you away, Nora.”I closed my eyes, my body betraying me. I was responding to his touch, and he wasn’t lying. I’m trying not to love him anymore, but why is he doing this? I immediately snapped my eyes open after remembering Xavier’s words. Oh no, what will I do now? I opened my mouth to say something when I felt his hot lips on my neck. God, he was kissing me. I tightened my knuckles, telling myself not to give in, he’s only seducing me, trying to see if he would get a reaction from me, and I won’t give him that satisfaction. “Stop it, Damon!” I thundered with an annoying voice, but his hands gripped my waist tightly, trying to hold me still. “Damon?” I started moving, attempting to push him backwards, but my ass kept hitting something hard, which I didn’t bother registering. “Nora?” He called hoarsely. “Stop moving!” He warned me, but I didn’t stop. I kept moving, pushing him backwards, and then I felt his sharp teeth on my neck. “Damon?” I immediately pushed him with full force, and he stumbled backward. I turned around and slapped him hard across the face, “Get out of here and don’t ever show your face to me ever again!” He looked at me with a cunning smile, then he licked his lips and exited the room without a word. I fell on the chair and rested my head on the table. A lot was going on in my head, and if I don’t control it, I’m going to go insane. I didn’t know how long passed, but when I sat straight again, it was dark outside. Geez, have I been sucking on myself? I grabbed my purse and headed out. I entered the elevator with other workers who kept greeting me, which I didn’t returned. It dinged open, and I was the first to come out. I walked out of the building and stood outside, but there was no taxi around. I didn’t waste any time and called my driver. I started walking planning on meeting him on the other street. Snow fell, and the weather was so damn cold that I was feeling a bit affected when a black BMW pulled up in front of me. “Get in!” I heard a mighty voice, and I looked inside the car only to see Xavier sitting inside. My heart instantly raced, but I steadied it, there’s no need to feel excited. “No thanks, my driver will be here soon!” I said, refusing his offer. “That wasn’t an offer, little kitten,” he said, and I sighed before stepping in. The warm heat inside the car immediately calmed my temperature. None of us said a word to each other as the car drove. My eyes kept darting to Xavier stealing glances at him, he was really handsome, and I literally wanted to see him let loose of his hair without packing it into a ponytail. I looked away and caught the driver staring at me through the inner mirror, he too also looked away. “Who gave you that?” I heard Xavier's voice immediately, and I turned to face him. “What’s that?” I asked confusedly. “That hickey? Who dared touch you aside from me?” He asked, and I immediately remembered Damon biting me there. That scoundrel. “It was…” He immediately pulled me onto his lap and dragged my hair, yanking it backwards. “You dare defy me , Nora? It's barely a day, and you went against me!” His voice was laced with ice, and I shook my head. “No…I,” His lips fell on mine, kissing me badly and roughly, and I know he was damn angry at me right now. His other hand rolled up into my shirt, and he cupped my boobs, pressing them hard, and a soft moan left my mouth. “Oh Xavier, please hear me out!”
