Loving Elias Black

Chapter Four

Ivy Morgan POV:

As I ran out, I stopped a cab and went straight to his office. This time, I would do whatever I could to get inside. I didn't mind my outfit, but the front desk officer, I just had to see him.

He had already sacked his driver; now others were going to lose their job. I couldn't bear the guilt.

I got there and walked straight, not minding the calls of the front desk officer, before they got me, I would be in his office.

As I got into the elevator, I pressed the button for the last floor, but unfortunately, I needed a passcard.

Fuck!

The elevator opened, and I could see security waiting at the entrance for me.

" Please, I can explain. I need to see your boss. I don't have an appointment, but he knows me, please. It's urgent," I begged.

" Madam, we will call the cops on you for trespassing. No one comes here without an appointment, much less to see the boss."

The security guard said as they dragged me outside.

" Stop! I heard a voice, and I was so sure it was him

As I turned, I felt relieved as I noticed it was him

"Follow me," he instructed

I felt so happy and relieved at the same time, but I was tense. I couldn't think properly about what I was going to say to him. As we got to his office. I looked around, trying to avoid eye contact as I could feel his heavy gaze on me.

" You have 5 seconds more, if you have nothing to say, I will call the security to throw you out."his voice sent shivers down.

" I'm sorry, Sir, I didn't mean to cause a scene at your event. It was just a moment of weakness. I witnessed something I shouldn't have and I couldn't control my emotions," I tried to say, but my voice clearly showed that I was intimidated by the man in front of me.

" So what do you want? He was already running out of patience at this point.

" Please, don't sue the bakery for damages. I take full responsibility for my actions. Please, sir , I can't watch others lose their jobs; my colleagues at the bakery are like family. I just can't bear the guilt. Clara's son is autistic. It will be too much for her." I said with tears.

I watched as his face hardened the more, and his fist tightened. I wondered what I said wrong this time.

" What are you offering? He asked

" Anything, sir? I said quickly, not knowing what he meant.

I looked at him, trying hard not to blink my eyes as I studied him carefully. His jawline was sharp, and his dark eyes, his lips pressed in a firm line. There was something about him that was impossible to figure out, but he was handsome, the kind of man a woman could get lost in. I couldn't compare Derrick with him.

"Are you done? He asked

"Huh!

"Like what you see," he asked.

I lowered my eyes, I was so ashamed that I stared at till he noticed.

"You going to work for me, lady? He said.

" Ivy Morgan, " she tried to tell him her name

" Whatever. I want you in my bed," he said firmly with so much boldness.

I looked at him, feeling disgusted at his proposal. He wanted to take advantage of the situation.

" I can't, sir" I said politely

" Okay, get out," he responded

" What? Can't you ask for something different I really can't sleep with a man I'm not married to, please. I can work, serve anything but not this." I tried to make him see my reasons, but he continued typing God knows what on his phone while tapping his foot on the tile floor.

" No. Look, I don't like to repeat myself. You just said you're willing to do anything, so what I want is s*x, just one pleasurable night, and I might reconsider. So, it's either you in or out," he said

I stared at him, shocked at his proposal. I knew these big men only cared about themselves, their wants. They always want to own people in the lower class. At this point, I lost all my shyness and yelled.

" Don't you care about the lives of people who work there? I just mentioned that my boss has a son who is autistic. She has bills to pay. Those people who work there have families that depend on them. It's all my fault, don't punish them." She yelled

At this point, I was already knew he was pissed at me. I his eyes blazing with anger.

" It's not by force, princess, if you care so much about those people, then we have a deal, but if you don't I won't let you stand in front of me, in my office and yell at me. " he yelled

"Get the f**k out," he responded harshly as I dialed the intercom for security to come and pick me up.

As they walked in, I knew I couldn't leave like this else I won't get another opportunity to come in here again.

" I will do it,t" I answered close to tears.

I wasn't sure of this decision, but I just needed to make a truce; maybe he would change his mind.

"My driver will pick you up at your apartment by 9 p.m.," he said as he walked out.

-

I heard the car buzz exactly around 9 pm sharp. How did he get my address? I wore a beautiful flower gown, put my hair up and picked up a bag. I couldn't think straight. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do this.

As I got into the car, my thoughts drifted to Clara and her son, the workers at the bakery. I couldn't let anyone suffer for my negligence. I cursed Aria and Derrick. I never slept with Derrick except for some foreplay. No matter how much he pressured me. I always remembered my mama's last word.

" Give it to a man that deserves to call you his wife and the mother of his child."

Tears welled up as I thought about what I was about to do.

" I'm so sorry, Mom," I whispered.

I followed the driver as we got to the hotel. I really felt like w***e coming to see her client as I got in the pressure increased.

I froze when my eyes landed on the bed. Spread neatly across the crisp white sheets was a piece of red nightwear chosen for me, silk, dark, and the neckline was delicate. It was revealing. I had considerable-sized melons and I couldn't imagine wearing that for a man I don't know.

I swallowed hard when I saw the note written beside it.

" Wear it," I knew there was no way out of this.
