Addicted To A Billionaire

Chapter 12

Thelma's view:

"Said what?" Steven asked me again, and I shook my head, contemplating whether to tell him the truth. That the man I had slept with was drugged, and he was very angry to find me in his bed the following morning.

"Thelma," Steven called to my attention again, and I said, "I mean, I don't know his name, but can you tell Dad that I need some time to get over the man I had a one-night stand with before the marriage?"

"No, Thelma, that's only if you know the man's name you slept with. Maybe that way, Dad can consider you marrying him instead of Felix. So, do you remember his name now, or what his Butler called him?" Steven asked me. I shook my head and replied, "No. I only remember the Butler's name, Sir Adam."

"Adam who?" Steven asked me, looking at my face seriously. But I didn't know.

"Hmm, it's okay, sister. I've already convinced Dad to allow you to do your internship at MW Group. And you know why the group is called MW, right?" Steven asked me again. I shook my head and replied, "No."

"It means Mavin White Corporation. So, stay away from the man named Mavin White at that company, and avoid him as much as possible while you learn how the company operates. Later, I'll let you know about other things I need you to find out for me concerning their company progress. So, best of luck to you tomorrow, sis. I need to go now and eat my breakfast." Steven turned to walk away, while I happily walked back into my room.

I was happy that I finally had a job to work with MW Group. I walked to my closet to prepare my clothes for the following day, everything I would need for my new work. I didn't want Elsa or any of the maids to pick an outfit for me.

My mood got elevated, and I was so glad that I started singing in my closet while I took out a black straight pencil skirt and a neatly ironed white shirt. I smiled as I stared at the full mirror in my closet to check out my looks.

I positioned my clothes at my front, holding them up to see how smart they would fit me the following day when I wore them to work.

I selected out my black shoes and everything I would be needing for my new work at MW Group. I kept replaying the name Steven had told me to avoid the most, "Mavin White."

I smiled as I thought of Mavin being a white man, but I shook my head, because I didn't even know him before. Despite the fact that I had graduated with a fair result, I wasn't the best to be selected by M.W group. I didn't graduate with a first class.

I didn't know much about business and had to study about it the hard way, simply because my mom wanted me to take over my father's company instead of Steven, who was the supposed heir.

Steven is smart, brilliant, fast, and he has won a lot of prestigious awards for Dad since he joined Dad's company about six years ago. I could only imagine how sharp he was to be joining Dad's company then. And yet, me, at 24 years old, I feel very grumpy to be leading a large organization when I was supposed to be at home, eating whatever I wanted, and being pampered like my mom.

I frowned as I stared at the collection of clothes I had selected from my hanger. Even though I wanted to start my training the following day, I knew that I still wasn't business smart.

I sighed and finally walked out of my closet. I stepped out into my room and made my way downstairs to the living room to find Elsa. When I saw Lady Bonnie walking out of the kitchen door with Juliet and Amara, I immediately asked Lady Bonnie, "Where's Elsa?"

"Good afternoon, Thelma. Elsa has taken Master Steven's lunch to his bedroom."

"Why? Can't he send someone else to serve his lunch? Elsa is my personal maid!" I questioned Lady Bonnie angrily. She is a 35-year-old lady, and she apologized to me, "I'm sorry, Thelma. Let me go and take over and send for her."

"No, I will speak to Elsa later. Just prepare my lunch, as I'm hungry again," I said, yawning and walking up to the dining table to sit down while I waited for Lady Bonnie to serve my lunch.

I was still exhausted from the hot night I had two days before. Though the pain in my core had reduced, the memory of the handsome man was still fresh in my mind.

I sighed and leaned on the dining table after sitting for a while, knowing that I might not see the handsome man again.

We only got the opportunity to do it then, and with the way he had stared at me angrily, I feared he would have arrested me. Whereas he was the one who took full advantage of me.

"Hmm, thank you," I said to Lady Bonnie as she finally served my dinner in front of me. Staring at the delicious yam porridge garnished with fried fish on the plate, I picked up my spoon and started eating it.

A few hours later, I was already through with my lunch, and yet Elsa wasn't back downstairs from Steven's room.

Our house is a two-story building, and very powerful. I know that only Steven used the top floor penthouse, and I wondered what he was doing there with Elsa.

I felt strange and afraid that he might want to sleep with Elsa too, so I rushed upstairs to my brother's lounge.

I barged into his bedroom and saw Elsa sitting on the chair, discussing with Steven happily, as he lay on his bed, typing on his laptop.

"What are you doing here, Thelma?" Steven asked me in shock. I hadn't even knocked, and I had just rushed into his bedroom. I adjusted my orange top properly on my shoulder as I told him, "What's Elsa doing in here with you since?"

Steven smiled, but I wasn't smiling as I saw Elsa standing up nervously from the black chair she had previously sat on. She rested her back, while my eyes eyed her, thinking that she's having an affair with my elder brother.

"Nothing, Thelma. I'm just bored being at home today, so I'm just having a friendly conversation with Elsa," Steven said casually, smiling. But I immediately asked him, "And you choose to converse with my personal handmaid and inside your bedroom too?"

Steven sat up properly on the bed, now glaring at me and asking me, "What are you trying to say, sister?"

"I'm not a kid, big brother. And even Elsa is not a kid too, so stay away from my maid and go and marry your own wife! Come with me, Elsa," I said. Without waiting to hear Steven's response, as I saw him stare at me with widened eyes,

I immediately approached Elsa and dragged her away by her left hand to follow me outside. I could see her cheeks flaming red too, as she looks pretty. I warned her as soon as we stepped out to the third-floor hallway.

I told Elsa, "And you, what do you think you're doing inside my brother's room since, chatting with him? Didn't you see what happened to me two days ago? Oh! It seems like you forget my brother is human, and he can lose control and sleep with you too. Just stay away from Steven, as I don't want to hear a*********s in this house. Is that understood?" I asked Elsa angrily. She nodded her head obediently, embarrassed at me. She's no kid, a 21-year-old young lady, mature enough to know that something like that could happen between her and my brother. And I don't want my parents to send her away yet.

We left the third floor and finally went back downstairs to the second floor. I went into my bedroom to rest, as I was totally avoiding my mother. I remember that she had told me that I would go for a cleansing after I had met with a strange man I knew nothing about.

I know that I didn't know anything about the handsome man I had slept with, but he wasn't looking sick. He looked very healthy, fit, and masculine, except for the fact that he was drugged and acting under the influence of the s*x drug given to him. I doubt he would have reacted that way with me if he wasn't drugged.

Anyway, I didn't feel a need to clean my womb, as I didn't think of him discharging in me. He was exhausted the night we made love, and I was too. So, I walked to my bed to sleep while I dismissed Elsa to leave. "You can go back to your room, Elsa, but stay away from Steven, understood?"

"Yes," Elsa replied shyly, while I whispered, "Bye, I want to sleep."

I pulled my bedspread open and laid on my bed, taking off the orange scarf I had wrapped around my neck.

I finally shut my eyes closed to sleep as I saw that Elsa had left my room and carefully shut my room door closed.
