Episode 4

Mel Mayer:

Sleep? No, I couldn't. But since I had some dirty clothes, I got up to wash them.

"Mel? Why didn't you use the washing machine? Today was Dani's day off... I wanted to help her with the housework, since I'm unemployed now."

"We have to save energy. Did you forget that I got fired? So we have to save from now on."

Daniela stares at me, open-mouthed.

"I understand. But don't worry about it. I don't want to wash clothes by hand, not when we have a washing machine at home,"

She says frustrated.

"Dani, I'm going to get ready to go to the company. I'm going to have to meet with Mr. Connor, unfortunately."

"Or maybe not!" Daniela argues. It took me a while to understand her statement.

I leave the room, frowning, and go straight to my room, and after a long bath, I put on a short dress that further defines my waist.

"Wow! Hottie... You look so hot." I heard Dani complimenting me with accusing eyes and a sarcastic smile on her face. She must be kidding.

"Hot? I always leave perfumed and dressed up..." I answer Dani as she opens the living room door... I want to go to the company soon to sort out my dismissal.

I get on a crowded bus. But I get to the company quickly, as it's close to my house.

When I got on the elevator, I was calm, it seemed like it was going to be just another day at work. But when I got to the floor of Mr. Connor's office, I started to get butterflies in my stomach when suddenly the elevator door opened and I saw that man, standing right in front of me. With so many people in this company, why did I have to run into him right away?

I get out of the elevator pondering, pretending to be calm, but in fact my nerves were on edge in my body and he stares at me deeply leaving me totally shy, but I pretended to be normal again so Mr. Connor wouldn't notice.

"Good morning, Mr. Connor!" I greet, stretching my lips into a fake smile, of course.

"Good morning, Miss Mayer!" He replies, still staring at me without hesitation. I felt like his eyes wanted to tell me something...

"I'm going to the dismissal department..." I argue as I walk past and away from him, when a brief silence fell and soon after I heard his voice speaking sharply behind me, he seemed irritated:

"Wait!" I hear his voice echoing loudly in my ears, making me stop immediately.

"What do you want?"

I speak and notice him approaching me. His attention is focused on my lips. I don't know what he wanted, but seeing him biting his lips looking at mine, I felt a shiver run through my entire body... This man is different from my boyfriend...

"Mr. Connor?" I argue, calling him by his last name, and I notice him blinking as if waking from a sleep or thought.

"Please, come to my office, I want to talk to you."

He answers as he walks past me with an enigmatic look on his face.

I follow behind him and within seconds, we were both inside his office.

"Close the door!" His seductive voice flowed into my ears as he stood with his back to me, his gaze fixed on the glass window. Even from behind he was still handsome...

"Yes, Mr. Connor." Without hesitation I close the door behind us. "What do you want to talk to me about?" I ask, looking at his image reflected on the windowpane. He was wonderfully handsome and his slender posture exuded seduction. What is happening to me? Did I turn into a shameless woman after going to bed with him? I need to forget everything that happened... Even if I was a beautiful and rich woman, I'm sure he wouldn't look at me with other eyes... The rumors circulating about him are that Mr. Connor doesn't date just any woman. The women he's been in a relationship with have all been high society and beautiful, and what's also on the lips of the employees here at the company is that even the most beautiful and slender women of power and lust have been rejected by him... Even if I fell in love with him one day, that's just a hypothesis, God forbid, but if it happened I would be completely rejected... I really need to get my thoughts in order...

"Miss Mayer?" He calls me calmly, waking me from my long thoughts... I didn't notice when he had turned towards me...

"What happened? You seem distant." He continues to ask, staring at me.

I raise my eyebrows respectively, watching his lips say my last name... I don't know what happened, but I found that very seductive.

"Nothing, sir. I'm just thinking about my boyfriend..." I lie blatantly.

His eyes widen simultaneously in surprise as he hears my answer... Silly, why did she have to talk about a boyfriend now?

He approaches me, becoming darkly serious.

"Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?" A sarcastic smile spread across his lips...

At that moment, my patience with him snapped.

"Yes, that's right. I have a boyfriend..." I didn't understand the reason for the chuckle... I snorted at him in annoyance...

"Calm down, I didn't mean to laugh... I just thought it was strange... Right now, you're going to think about your boyfriend... Really Miss Mayer, you are quite a character..."

"Mr. Connor, just tell me what you wanted to say, I don't have time to stay here listening to your jokes," I mutter, biting my lip in anger.

"Ah! Yes... I will... Please, have a seat."

How can a man be so two-faced? One minute he's laughing at me, the next he's acting nice like nothing happened... Really... He's a jerk...

"Thank you!" I sit down comfortably crossing my legs as I always do.

He sits down in his chair and we look at each other for a few seconds.

"Well, Miss Mayer, I want to make you an offer."

I lean back a little further, adjusting my posture in the chair.

"I'm listening," I reply hastily...

"I'm going to give you a check for one million dollars to forget everything that happened between us and go far, far away..."

I confess that my stomach churned with disgust upon hearing him... What does he think I am? Does he think I'm interested in his money? Oh no. He'll have another thing coming.

"I feel like throwing up looking at your arrogant face..." "Who told you I'm interested in your money? Mr. Connor, what happened between us was an accident. I was drinking and you were drunk too, so it was unforeseen... Unfortunately it happened... But you can rest assured that I've already forgotten everything."

Really, pride took over me... I couldn't be humiliated by this rich man who thinks he can do anything... I lie blatantly, looking at his somber face...

"Now I'm going to go to HR."

I get up and take a few steps when I feel his presence behind me.

"Don't go anywhere. I'm not finished yet."

He mutters in my ear. I feel his fresh, icy breath travel down my neck.

"I already said everything I had to say."

I take another step with my hand on the doorknob, but I am prevented from opening it after being abruptly pressed against the office wall.

"What do you think you're doing?" I say quite irritated.

His handsome face was frighteningly somber.

"You are so irritating. I hate women like you... Why? Why won't you talk to me? Is it so hard to look at the face of the man who gave you so much pleasure yesterday?"

I am altered by his questioning.

My hand is stopped in the air as I move my arm to give him a nice slap.

"Now you will see that you can't turn your back on me and just want to leave."

He looked at me strangely and fixedly.

Suddenly, I feel his lips touch mine, I try to push him away, but my strength diminishes as I feel his tongue run all over my mouth.

Even though I don't want to, I accept his kiss and we kiss passionately and insatiably.
