Tamed By The Boss

12. Savior.

“Who is there?” Marcus repeated his question as I was stiffened at my place. I could hear some more sounds coming from the room. Perhaps he was putting on his clothes.

No, he can't see me. I won't be able to save myself if he catches me. Moreover, I am scared of their reactions. They would harm me for sure.

Before I could have understood anything, I felt someone holding my wrist.

“You can cry at your home too, else you might have to cry for your whole life.”

Asher whispered in my ears, pulling me towards him. My head hit his chest as he warped his hand around my waist so I couldn't move away.

Tears uncontrollably poured down my face. I tried to move out of his grip but my body was numb. I was trying hard to get my strength but my knees were getting weaker.

“My-y,” I stammered, looking towards the room.

“Get a grip on yourself. I am not any superhero who would be able to fight with so many guys for you. Moreover, I don't like you, so don't ever expect me to let anyone touch my face for you.”

My vision was clouding but I could see his concern. He was trying hard to get me out of here. He patted my cheeks and shook his head.

“Ms. Carter, the way you fight with me, proves that you are not any weak person as the girl who can answer Asher Patrick can do anything.”

It was the first time someone said that I am not weak. How is this possible?

“Can we go now?” He rolled his eyes as I blinked my lashes.

I hummed but instead of walking, I was feeling he was dragging me out.

“Hey, man, how much did you pay her? She didn't accept my offer and only wanted to get f**k by Marcus Melvin.”

It was the same man who told me about Marcus and attempted to kiss me.

I stared at him with tears in my eyes. I wanted to slap him and hit him but I couldn't do so as I was afraid. What if he again tried to molest me?

“If I would say how much I paid her, you would pee in your pants. So get away from her and dare to raise your eyes.”

Asher covered me with his hand. I looked at him with amazement as I never heard about this soft side.

“Walk fast if someone would identify me, I would be in trouble.”

I hummed, rushing out of there along with Asher.

Upon reaching the parking lot, I closed my eyes and staggered. He sighed, making me stand.

“What now,” Asher said after some time as I couldn't understand what I should do now.

“Don’t know,” I muttered.

“Let me drop you now,” Asher groaned as I negatively shook my head.

“Now what? See, don't make me angry anymore. I am already pissed off that you came here to such a place,” Asher said through his gritted teeth.

“Do you even know what kind of place is this? Do you know how busy I am? You are such a headache.”

“Did I know about this place? You are saying as I come here daily.”

I eyed him gulping my saliva.

“And why are you bossing again? Also, did I ask you to come behind me? No, I didn't. You came on your own. I would have managed on my own.”

I don't know what I would have done or not but I don't like when Asher tries to boss me. I get pissed off. Moreover, I am already getting mad at myself. I remember Macey always warned me to not trust Marcus but I never paid heed to her.

“And yes, I know where you are busy,” I said, narrowing my eyes.

Asher arched his brows and opened his mouth to say something.

“There is a difference between you and those who are inside. You all only know how to use a woman. I also know why you are showing so much interest in me.”

“But let me tell you one thing,” I gritted my teeth and tried to move from there as I was getting angry.

“You know Ms. Carter, your big mouth only opens in front of me, and yes, I am not like them, especially like your boyfriend. I never force anyone.”

“I know you have an amazing impression of me but I am not going to give any explanation or any clarification about my reputation.”

“I'll be the way I am whether you like it or not.”

I pressed my lips together and crossed my fingers as I got scared of him.

“And yes, Ms. Carter, I didn't follow you because of any ulterior motives. I came behind you because if you get caught here, my company would face the consequences.”

“So don't even think something high about yourself as you are not anyone special.”

“I am going from here, you can come with me if you want, or else,” Asher let out a sigh.

I bowed my head because of embarrassment.

“Coming or not?” Asher screamed, sitting in his car.

Negatively shaking my head, I moved towards the exit gate while recalling Marcus and my moment. How he proposed to me in front of the whole college.

How even after my refusal he roamed behind me for six months?

How was his smile wider when I accepted his proposal? How he kissed my forehead out of excitement?

How did he use to hug me whenever I used to feel low? How did he use to kiss me whenever I felt lonely?

Was everything a lie? Did he never love me?

Closing my eyes, I kept my hand on the car as I felt like I was the heaviest person.

“Ms. Carter,” Asher broke my chain of thoughts.

I took a deep sigh and wiped my tears as I didn't want to show my tears to him.

“Why are you not coming with me? See I won't harm you,” Asher sighed as I turned towards him.

“Because I want to be alone,” I sternly said.

“Please, don't bother me. If you are worried about my work, I have some time. I promise to not let it affect my work.”

“But still if you fear that I won't be able to overcome it, you can choose someone else.”

“Ms. Carter.”

“Please, I beg you not to say or do anything,” I interrupted him showing my hands to him.

He took his steps back and turned his face.

“Thank you for saving me, however, I hope the next time we meet each other, we will behave professionally not like this.”

“Neither I am welcome in your world nor you can come to my world. Moreover, now I realize that my destiny is to suffer. I don't have any right to smile or love anyone.”

Before he could react, I moved from there leaving him furious. I just don't want him to be near me.

To be continued.
