Chapter 5

• Hazel's POV
• I can't believe my one night stand is actually my boss. I gave my v-card to the almighty Kurt Egan. This is bad!.
• "It's you!" He said as a look of recognition flash in his eyes.
• Please don't tell me you saw my face last night. I can't fail on this mission before actually even starting it.
• I study his stance. His shoulders tensed, his eyes darken, his fist and jaw clenched as if he's fighting with himself. I titted my head in confusion.
• "You can't work here. You're fired!" He gritted out.
• "Kurt, man. What the hell are you saying? You can't just fire her because of this little mistake" James said.
• " Yeah, it's just a little mistake. I didn't know you don't like spicy food" I said.
• He avert his gaze to me. When he look at me, his gaze softens a little but it was a flash, his eyes harden again and turn even darker.
• "I have my reason for firing you! Go pack your things and leave my house" he commands.
• "Hey, hey. It hasn't come to that yet, let's talk about this like adults" James said.
• I cross my arms across my chest and scoffs. The rumors are true, all he's good at is destroying people's lives. Well, I don't think I can complete this mission, now he's offering me opportunity to leave. I better leave before he changes his mind and kill me.
• "You want me to leave? I'll leave!" I said and turn to go upstairs, but James runs in front of me.
• He leans towards me and whisper in my ear.
• "You can't leave, you're the only one who I think can put up with his mood swings. And besides, I didn't take you to be a quitter"
• I think about it for a moment. He's right. I can't just sit back and watch Miranda's career go down the drain without doing anything. Even if I don't make it out, I will make sure I help Miranda expose Kurt Egan's secret.
• I can manage to put up with his off and on mood swings.
• A loud bang draws my attention back to Kurt. He's glaring daggers at James, if looks could kill I'm sure James would already be six feet under.
• "James? In my office!" Then he marches upstairs angrily.
• "Is he always like this?" I asked.
• "Yeah. Especially to new people, but you will like him when you get to know him"
• "Hmm, yeah right".
• "I'll be right back. Please don't leave yet" he said and hurrys off.
• James is easy going and easy to please too. I wish he was my boss.
• James's POV
• I enter Kurt's home office. I see Kurt standing by the window, looking at of the window. I bet he's got the best view in his office, you can see the beautiful of LA from his window.
• "Kurt, I..."
• "I don't wanna hear it, James. She can't work here" he said. He turn around to face me.
• "Ok, tell me why you don't want her to work for you?"
• He avert his gaze from me and begin to look anywhere but me. I see his face start to turn red, he's blushing.
• "Because she'll become my weakness, I can't let that happen" he said.
• Become his weakness?
• " How can she become your weakness? She's just your housekeeper and the relationship between you two is just boss and employee relationship" I told him.
• He release a long sigh and pulls on his hair.
• " You won't understand" he sits on his swivel chair and lays back his head.
• I sit in front of him. I've never seen Kurt worked up like this, which makes me more curious as to why he wants Hazel gone and also why he said Hazel will become his weakness.
• "What won't I understand?" I asked.
• "This is not the first time I'm seeing her. I've seen her before and....." He cuts himself off.
• "And what?" I asked.
• "And I think...I..I think I like her. But I had hope I never see her again, now she's right in front of me" he said.
• I grin. This is the first time ever, Kurt have admitted to like someone. Someone who is not him or me.
• "Kurt, it's a good thing!" I told him.
• His eyes snap open.
• "No! It's not a good thing. You know I don't do feelings, James. It'll affect my business" he said.
• I stare at him in pity. I understand his pain, I know why he doesn't want to have feelings for anyone. He's been through a lot, so I really can't blame him for trying to conceal his feelings. I've been with him since childhood and I witness exactly what happened to him.
• But now that he's found someone that he likes, I can't watch him let this opportunity slip away. He needs to let go of his dark past and embrace the future.
• Kurt might appear cold on the outside, but he's a floffy bear inside. I'll look for ways to make him accept Hazel and embrace his feelings. He really need someone in his life.
• "Ok, Kurt. How about you let Hazel stay for three weeks, I'll teach her everything. If you still don't like her, then I'll fire her myself" I suggest.
• He thinks about it for some minutes, then he shakes his head.
• "Two weeks!" He said.
• Hmm. Two weeks is not bad, I can make him accept his feelings then.
• "Deal" I said and stretch my hand out for a handshake.
• Kurt just stare at my hand strangely.
• "What are you doing?" He asks.
• "We need to finalize our deal with a handshake!" I said.
• "Your childish makes me hate you more and more" he said with a small smile.
• "You know you love me, don't worry I love you too" I told him, I lean forward and kisses his cheek.
• He pushes me away and wipes his cheek with a cute frown.
• "Eww! Gross!" He said.
• I burst into a fits of laughter. I head towards the door.
• "Hazel will come up with your meds" I told him.
• "Don't send her here" he yells after me.
• "I will, and be nice to her"
• I know exactly how to make Kurt accept his feelings for Hazel. I'll make him so damn jealous, I'm so lucky I'm a flirt, I know it'll come in handy one day.
• Hazel's POV
• James comes back down with a wide grin on his face.
• "So.... Am I fired?" I asked.
• "Nope! Infact, you have to make him some noodles right now and take it to his room, together with his meds" James said.
• "Are you sure he won't kill me and bury me there?" I asked.
• He laughs at my silly question.
• "Quite the contrary. But I'll tell you how he like his noodles"
• I nod at him to continue.
• "He likes it when his noodles are not overcooked, and please, please, please don't make it spicy" he said.
• "ok, I won't" I reply.
• He enters the kitchen and open a cabinet, he brings out a small box. He opens it and takes out some drugs.
• "Always remember to give him this meds every night before he goes to bed, or else, I bet you won't get a good night's sleep yourself" James tells me.
• Why the hell does he needs drugs to sleep? What is he, a vampire?! Oh no! I hope he's not gonna suck my blood.
• "Now I'll leave you at it"
• "Huh? Where are you going?" I asked.
• "I'm going home. You don't expect me to stay here with you guys, right?"
• "So, your are leaving me here alone with him?"
• " Don't worry, darling. He won't bite.... Hard" with that James takes off.
• I guess I'll have to do this on my own. I carry the Mac and cheese and cornbread, I put them in the trash and I start to prepare the noodles.
• After some minutes I'm done. I carry it and head upstairs, I knock on Kurt's door but no response. I open the door and step in the room.
• Remember that paradise Adam and Eve lives in? Well, it can't compare to this room. It's spacious and twice the size of my entire house back in Texas. A big flat screen TV stood proudly on the wall, a big king size bed in the middle of the room. The walls painted with dark brown color and the curtains are of cream color.
• The room is cool and smells fresh. Everywhere is so neat, I don't think I'll do much cleaning in this room.
• "Mr Egan?" No answer.
• "Mr Egan!" Still no answer.
• I drop the tray I'm carrying on the table and begin to walk around. Then I see a door, maybe it leads to his home office or even a movie theater. Maybe he's in there watching a movie.
• Wait... I take that back. Kurt Egan is not the movie watching type of person. Maybe the door leads to his office, maybe he's in there signing some papers.
• Yeah. This sounds right!.
• I open the door and excitedly step in and that was a very big mistake. I see what I least expected.
• Standing before me, is Kurt Egan. He's standing....... NAKED!!
• "Ahhhhhhh!!"
