Chapter 5
Maya’s POV
What nonsense was he talking about! I asked myself. Was this some way of genting my attention!, if that was it he definitely wasn’t going to get very
I took a quick breath and pulled away from his grip, my heart was pounding in my chest. “I don’t know what you’re talking about” I snapped, taking a few steps hack. He stood in the same spot, but his eyes followed me, like a predator studying its prey
He tilted his head slightly, a small smile playing on the corners of his lips. “I can share your heart beating fast, Maya,” he said calmly. “It w so if you weren’t hiding something or if you didn’t feel anything towards me.”
wouldn’t be
“Perhaps you think too much of yourself, and you’ll be disappointed to know that what we had that night was nothing but a mistake.” I said, trying to sound bold
He smiled and walked towards me. “Why are you shaking then?, or you’ve never seen someone this handsome?”
I sighed in frustration, storming towards him and pointing my finger at his chest. Listen!” I said sharply, my voice echoing through the hall. There was brief silence and it seemed like everyone stopped to look at us I gulped as I saw different eyes looking in our direction
He smiled and waved them off, and the murmurs and Laughter continued
“Lasten.” I said again, lowering my voice. “I am not ready for your games. What happened between us was one night. That’s it And 1 am not pregnant, so stop with all this rubbish.”
His smile widened, and without hesitation he grabbed me and pulled me towards himself, pushing his head to the side of my face as brushing my ear slightly. “You’re fighting too much. Stop it,” he whispered in my ear, his breath warm against my skin, which for a moment made me wet.
“You weren’t Ele that the other night. You are much more polite and, what’s the word now!, let me say, open–minded”
I could feel my panties filling up with my wetness as his breath brushed against my face. I sighed and pulled away from him, trying not to look into his eyes which were obviously staring into mine
Just then. Bella showed up. “Maya, you won’t believe who I just saw?” She squeaked excitedly as she approached me, but stopped in her tracks as soon as she spotted Derrick.
“Boss” She sand as she quickly folded.
He smiled and tilted his head, something that seemed to be his thing. “Bella right?, from administration?” He said, trying to figure out who she was
I could see Bella turning red and struggling to speak as she stared at him. I moved slowly towards her and gave her a small bump on her elbow and she quickly snapped out of what seemed to be a daydream.
“Y_yes, that’s me” she said blushing
He smiled and nodded. “Great work.” He said and he gave me one last look before he finally turned and walked off to join the rest of his folks.
Bella’s eyes sparked with excitement as she turned to me. “Maya, were you just talking to him?” She asked, her voice barely able to contain her thrill.
I shook my head quickly, trying to dismiss what she might be thinking. “No, I wasn’t. He just happened to be where I was, that was all.”
Bella’s smile widened, and she let out another squeal. “Maya, do you even realize who you were just standing next to?
I frowned, slightly confused. “Isn’t he your boss and the owner of the company, one of the biggest c
companies like you mentioned before we came
Bella rolled her eyes and took a deep breath, as if preparing to explain something bug.
“He is much more than that. He is one of the biggest personalities in this city. The fact that he stood close to you is a big deal. I mean, I have had a crush on him ever since I started working here, and I couldn’t be happier that he even knows my name!”
I managed a wry smile, feeling confused and slightly frustrated. “Well, I’m glad you’re happy. Bella, forgive me if I didn’t know any of what you just riplained. But I really want to get out of here.”
Bella looked at me with concem. “Why! This is a great opportunity for you to make connections. Derrick might be a little intimidating, but he’s important, Maya. And you might even ineel someone who might help you get a job, you’ll never know.”
I paused and looked at her, slightly hurt at her remark even though I knew she meant well.
“Ini sorry I sounded that way, you know what I mean” She quickly nahed to my side.

1 sighed, trying to keep my emotions in check. “It’s been a long day, Bella. I just want to go home and rest.”
Hella looked torn but nodded. “Okay, I understand. Let’s get you home.””
As we walked out of the hall. Bella kept glancing back at the party, it was clear that she didn’t want to leave just yet. I felt a pang of guilt for pulling her away from something she was clearly enjoying, but I needed to get away from Derrick and the confusing emotions.
We stopped outside and she stood firm without moving. I walked towards her and kissed her on the check. “I’m sorry I am such a pain in the ass. Bella I promise Fll make li up to you”
She smiled and rolled her eyes. “Well you better,” she said with a small chuckle,

I didn’t need to think about who it was, I knew straight away who it was from. I took a hard gulp and turned around to see Bella who was still smiling.
