Chapter 5

• I went and saw the house very early in the morning like I promised the agent, it was a two bedroom flat and I loved it, but now money for rent was required.
• I hurried down to the Bennett mansion, luckily enough, just on time to meet Sir Ethan!
• Just as Mr. Bennett headed for the door, ready to leave for work, I ran after him. “Um… excuse me Sir, if I can have just a minute, I wish to make a request.”
• He paused a little distance from the door and turned back to me. “Make it quick, Miss Miller.” He demanded.
• “So… um, I know how this is going to sound, I know I shouldn’t be doing this but I am really desperate…”
• “Just get straight to the point already, Miss Miller.” He instructed with a stern face. Dang, he wasn’t even smiling.
• “I know, I am sorry!” I waved immediately. “Sir, I was wondering if I could get just a month pay in advance. I know this sounds sketchy but I swear I really need it, I wouldn’t be…”
• “I will arrange it!” he cut me short immediately.
• “Huh?” I muttered with mouth agape. Did he really agree? Just like that?
• “I will be on my way now.” He said quickly and turned again to leave.
• “Wait! There is something else, Sir!” I yelled immediately, chasing after him again.
• He groaned and turned back to face me. “Make it snappy!” he growled at me.
• “Yes Sir, I actually do have a question that has been itching at me since a while now…”
• “Okay?”
• “Please don’t take this the wrong way Sir.” I requested.
• “Just ask it already!” he was clearly getting frustrated at this point.
• “It is actually something personal Sir, do you mind if we step outside?” I requested.
• “Are you serious right now, Miss Miller? Do you realize that you are being a pain in the ass.”
• I bit my lips for the umpteenth time, did he really think so?
• “Forgive me Sir, it is just that the question would be embarrassing in front of…” I paused and looked back at Alex and Leah.
• While Leah looked very curious to hear what I had to say, Alex on the other hand seemed amused by my actions. He has probably not seen anyone get under his father’s skin this much.
• “Do you like this Job, Miss Miller?” Ethan growled as he stepped back towards me.
• “Of course Sir, I would literally not survive without this job, forgive me if I am giving a different impression.”
• “Then ask your question already, I have better places to be.” He said amidst gritted teeth and clenched fist. I could tell the curiosity was also beginning to eat away at him as well.
• “Okay… if you insist…. It is just that the other day at your office, you mentioned that I did some certain things while I was drunk, I am dying to know, did we do it?” I asked with a squeezed face.
• He looked confused and thrown off by my question, immediately staring towards Leah and back to me. “Is this a joke?” he half-yelled.
• “I am sorry Sir, I just really want to know. I have not been able to stop thinking about it since that day. Also, who changed me into the nightwear?”
• “Is this even the right place for such questions?” he snarled in a whisper and grabbed my arm, dragging me outside the door.
• “I am sorry, I tried to warn you.” I had already lost count of the amount of times I said sorry here today.
• “Are you nuts? Why would you ask me that in front of them?”
• “So we had sex then?” I asked, my heart racing in fear of a positive response.
• “No you dummy! The only sex we will have is in your dreams!”
• “Oh thank God!” I breathed out in relief. I knew that was an insult but it was one I appreciated. I am still pure! We didn’t have sex!
• “What did you say?” he suddenly asked, his expression growing sterner.
• “Oh… Um, I said… thank God?” I replied, unsure of why he asked.
• “Yeah I heard that, but why would you say that? You think having sex with me is bad?”
• I gasped. “Oh no! you totally misunderstood me, of course it wouldn’t be a bad thing if we did have sex, I am only saying that…”
• “Ah! So you do admit that you want to have sex with me?” he grinned, stepping closer to me.
• I took a step back. “No!! That is not what I said.” I screamed and crumpled my face in slight disgust.
• He came closer and grabbed me by the waist all of a sudden, pulling me to his body. “Tell me the truth, Miss Miller. Does it excite you when I hold you this close? In all your imaginations of what could have happened that night, did you wish there was even a possibility that we had sex? Are you looking forward to it?” he spammed me with questions.
• “No! Noo! Noo!!” I quickly denied, my heart racing.
• He brought his lips closer to my ear and my body shivered. “Very Good, Miss Miller. Because I am never going to sleep with you, and to answer your other question… Yes I did change you out of your clothes that night, and be rest assured that I wasn’t moved by what I saw, get that into your head.” He whispered.
• I stood there mouth wide in shock as he let go of me and turned to leave. I could see the wicked smile on his face from behind. Did he mean all of that? He didn’t think I was attractive enough for a guy? How could he say that to me?
• I felt the urge to run to him and yell that I didn’t find him attractive either. In fact, I think he is a just a rich jerk, a snob! An annoying douchebag, a fucking bossy egoistic sadist! Why would he ever think that I wish to sleep with him?
• TBC!!
