Xander's heart started pounding louder under his chest as he let go of Victoria's hand unknowingly . There was silence on the other line and between him and Victoria . Victoria became totally embarrassed , arranged her herself and cast a scary look at the onlookers in the office
“ Face your work now “, she barked with face flushed from embarrassment
“ I think it is not a good time , I will later”, Samantha's soft voice came along the phone bringing Xander back to reality as he was totally carried away by her call and voice .
“ No…no.. it is fine “, he swallowed hard
“ Hello , are you still there “, but she had hung up already .
Xander turned to Victoria with a countenance more calm than usual and just walked off .
He sat on his seat feeling so peaceful and calm
That voice did something to him , something he really can't explain. He made him calm and settled. His heart fell when she changed up but she was going to call again anyways.
Telephone rings
“ Hello sir , we spoke to him as you requested , he will join you shortly “ , the feminine voice said
“ Ok “ , hanged up
The drink got overfilled, Sam kept pouring it into the glass
“ Sam!”
A voice called, Sam came back to her senses
“Agh”, in surprised and roamed around looking for something to clean up her mess
“ Don't ingot this “, Elizabeth began cleaning , trashed the rag and came back to her
“ Sam are you ok “ , she asked concerned “ you can tell me anything , hope you know that “ , lizzy said as she place her hand around Sam's shoulder, patting it gently
“ Yeah , I know lizzy , but I am Perfectly fine , I just got carried away by dad's current condition, thanks “, she managed to force a smile
“ Are you sure ?“
Sam nodded assuringly
“ Alright let's get back to work and I will give this to the customer that ordered”
“ Oh , thank you very much lizzy “
“ Anytime “
Sam was not fine . How would she be , when she just finished speaking to a guy that wants her to be his mistress and she called to accept the offer because of financial constraint.
Sam felt nauseous, she left the bar counter and rushed into the bathroom. She threw up into the water cistern.
“ What is going on ?,” she wondered aloud . She's been having a fever and now she's throwing up .
“ I need to run some tests”, she said .
Washed her face and took a look at her reflection in the mirror.
Memories came flooding back to her when she was young , her dreams and aspirations are now far gone . And the worst of it all is that she had a one night stand with a billionaire who wants her as his mistress. She remembered the promise she made to herself about her wedding night with her legal husband ,”but that blissful night is not gonna happen again”, she thought , Sam exhaled deeply as a tear dropped , which she quickly wiped off .
Victoria marched into the lee mansion , face as stiff as a stone and went straight to her room .
“ Arrrgh”, she screamed out of frustration and anger , sending her jewelry boxes to the floor .
She paced back and forth as flashes of that moment came back to her , she held her head with both arms and sat on the large bed with her head resting on her knees.
Then she unexpectedly lifted up her head as if remembering something very important.
She noticed how Xander became so calm after the call he made , he suddenly became calm , it was so unusual of him .
“ What if it was one of the girls he liked?, what if there’s another woman in his life ?”
“ Noooooooooo”, Victoria screamed as she refused to accept those thoughts
“ I am the only woman for him , the only woman and I will kill any b***h that gets close to my husband “, she said with teeth clenched staring deeply into space as if it were a human .
“ What's going on here “, Mrs Lee exclaimed going through her phone
“ What's that , honey “, Mr Lee asked lying on the bed
“ This . ..this is .. .no ..no “, Mrs Lee exclaimed with a grimace face .
She hurriedly took the phone to her husband and on it was a video of what had happened earlier in the office between Victoria and Xander.
Mrs Lee began to sob
“ Shhhhh”, it is alright , Mr Lee consoled taking her head to his chest .
“ all we want is a better life for Xander , but he bent on embarrassing this family , what will people say now about the lee family, our reputation we've so much invested in building in a long time “, she said between her sobs
“ I will take care of this dear , I promise “, Mr Lee said calmly .
Xander walked into the bar and saw it was empty , it was about to be locked up . Sam was cleaning up for the day , always being the last person to leave the bar.
“ You're closing “
She heard the hoarse but gentle voice at her back , making her heart skip , she swallowed hard and then turned around , palm suddenly sweaty
“ Yes “, she responded not looking into his face
“ You want anything, “ she said leaning against the bar counter .
She sized him up , tall , broad shoulders and muscles , he was in a shirt that was a bit loose on him “ just returning from work “ she guessed silently
“ Yes , maybe I will get a drink while we speak about why you called , I had to stop by because you didn't call back like you said “, Xander said confidently, with a face expressionless as usual.
He looked at her from the head, her scattered blonde hair , her deep piercing blue eyes with lashes that flutter intermittently and a face so beautiful . He went down to her lips and remembered the first time he kissed them on that night and a funny sensation came upon him , he quickly slapped his head gently “ snap out of it “ he whispered silently to himself . But she looked worn out and tired. The shirt she was wearing exposed her cleavage a little, making him remember how he squeezed them .
The fire started burning again inside him as he tried to ignore it. A sensation building inside him to grab her and kiss the hell out of her , to hold her in a very tight embrace , just her to himself .
“ Yes , uhmmm , I just wanted to check and confirm that the number was yours “, Sam responded , bringing Xander back to his senses .
Hearing that , Xander started walking towards the bar counter , he walked inside it making Sam take a step back with heart racing . He kept on moving closer to her till they could feel their breath and then suddenly grabbed the glass of wine .
“ Thanks for this”, he said, took a sip , not taking his eyes off her as Sam tried to gain composure and almost out of breath.
“ So now you've confirmed that's my number , what else “, he started trailing his finger from her fingers up to her shoulders making Sam shiver walk away from him .
“ We are locking up Mr Xander”, Sam said, now standing outside the bar counter not looking at him. If only she knew how seeing her always makes him want to touch her .
Xander gulp down the drink , a little offended by this woman's pride and started off walking past her
“ As for the offer…..”, sam started making him stop , “ I am not going to be your mistress whatever happened that night was a mistake , I have forgotten about , so you should too, I will never be your bedroom furniture “, Sam said rushing her words but a little nervous .
Xander dipped his hands in his pocket and turned to look at her but she looked away .
He moved towards her but she kept moving away from him until she leaned on the wall . Xander leaned close , with his face very close to hers but she couldn't look into his eyes .
He gently lifted her chin and their eyes met producing a spark between them that they tried to control.
“ Why do you keep looking away from me? “, Xander asked with a voice so sexy and gentle
Their lips brushed , he grabbed her by the waist closer to himself making their bodies touch.
Sam couldn't utter a word but just stared into the face of the handsome billionaire.
“ I never gave you an offer , I was only informing you , you're my mistress and I get whatever I want “, with that he let go of her and walked off leaving an overwhelmed Sam who could feel how wet she was standing as she saw the huge figure retreating into the darkness.
Suddenly, there was a thud and she fell to the floor.
