Free Web NovelChapter 125: The Threat
When everyone became too drunk except Zyair. He called it a night. Calling his guards, Zyair told them to safely drop everyone home and Miss Erdith to the hotel which had been booked for her.
While Lawrence, Huria and Skyla would leave with him. Skyla was staying at Huria’s place for the weekend and Zyair had given her three days off. She had worked hard and earned free days.
Although now looking back through the rearview mirror he was regretting his decision. How was he to spend three days without seeing her, having her close and teasing her?
She was sound asleep and was slowly snoring. Her head rested on her friend’s shoulder and her mouth was slightly ajar.
So tired, the event drained her.
Lawrence was tipsy too or he would have noticed how Zyair’s eyes kept flitting back to Skyla and openly teased him.
Reaching Huria’s place, Zyair woke Huria up. She stumbled out and unlocked the door. Lawrence stayed inside the car but Zyair got out.
He didn’t want to wake up Skyla. She was too tired and he decided to carry her inside. Picking her up in his steady arms he let her head roll over and rest on his chest while he efficiently carried her inside.
Huria was already in when he entered with Skyla in his arms and her eyes almost popped out of her sockets. Even in her drunk state, she knew this was big. freewebnovёl.ƈom
"I will tuck her in," he informed a very dumbfounded Huria, who could do nothing but stupidly nod.
Zyair took her straight to the bedroom and gently laid her down. Her soft curtain of redness was plastered all over her face.
Zyair bent down and carefully picked up each one and carefully spread them on the white pillow cover, setting it on fire.
He then proceeded to take off her shoes and properly stacked them beside the bed. Gently taking her swollen feet in his hands he massaged them. She had been standing all day long and he didn’t like how her feet looked. freēwēbnovel.com
Her face relaxed because of how good his hands felt. Once he was satisfied he slowly placed them down.
Picking up the blanket, Zyair covered her frail body and tucked the blanket in from both sides. Her face broke into a slow smile as she snuggled with the soft blanket.
What must she be dreaming about?
How long did he have to wait before he could snuggle with her, all night long?
He wondered.
His emotions were on the edge of giving away.
Bending down he placed a small kiss on her silky hair, slowly stroked them and whispered.
"Good night, sweet dreams beautiful."
And then he was gone, any more second and he wouldn’t be able to leave.
Getting in his car he drove off, Lawrence had fallen asleep too, everyone seemed tired today. He dropped him off and headed off to his apartment. Some days he had been sleeping in the guest room, the very bed she had slept in when she stayed over. Anything to feel closer to the woman whom he admired so much.
As his head hit the soft pillow she had slept on, the thoughts of her being at Huria’s place and being safe from that ghoul for the night sent him into a peaceful slumber.
***
Monday was a terrible day at least from Zyair’s perspective. He was missing having Skyla around as she was on leave for three days and couldn’t wait for her return.
His mood dampened more and his anger spiked when Amber ambled into his office unannounced wearing a very seductive dress, not at all suitable for office wear.
Why was she here? He didn’t have a good feeling about it.
Clasping his hands together he threw her an annoyed look and asked in a steel-coated voice.
"How may I help you, Miss Amber? You are not supposed to be on this level until I call you."
She didn’t hesitate as she very deliberately crossed that red line and walked right over to his desk. Placing both her hands on the table she bent over, giving him a full view of her cleavage. A seductive smile spread on her cunning face as she licked her lower lip like a seductress. Her perfectly manicured hands drummed the lacquered surface.
Zyair understood what she was trying to do. He only gave her a disgruntled look and waited for her to finish whatever she had cooked up.
"Don’t you find me attractive? Zyair," she questioned, batting her eyes at him.
"I am not sure where you are going with this conversation but this is not appropriate behaviour. If you won’t stop I will have no choice but to fire you."
He remained unperturbed, calm and almost idyllically unfazed.
"Really? Did you fire Skyla as well when you were getting chummy with her after the event in the changing room? Yes, I know both of you are having an affair. I heard you, I saw you leave together."
She victoriously smiled and provocatively ambled towards him. Extending her hand she tried to touch him but he caught her wrist before she could lay a hand on him.
Pinning her with a look so full of revulsion that any shameful person would have stepped back but she was Amber.
Zyair knew she didn’t actually see anything, just heard their conversation from outside the door. She didn’t have any hard evidence, just her words or she would have threatened with that by now.
He needed to be more careful in the future. This was his blunder.
"Ah!" She dramatically sighed, "So the famous Mr Zyair can touch women when it pleases him."
"I don’t know what your intentions are Amber but don’t soil the name of a dignified woman for your own personal gains," he slowly yet so dangerously seethed out that Amber had to gulp before speaking.
"Dignified? You call a married woman having an affair as dignified. You are such a bad boy. Why don’t you use me for all your personal needs instead of a shrivelled married woman? I can make you feel so good."
"You surely are not only delusional but shameless too. Keep Miss Skyla out of this or I will forget that you are my employee."
His blue oceans had a raging tempest within them. Anyone can attack him but an attack on Skyla will never be forgiven.
"You will do what? Because I plan on telling the media what a liar you are and what a shameless whore she is."
"ENOUGH!" He voraciously growled, letting go of her hand and jerking her back so she could step away from his personal space.
"You are a woman and I don’t hit them. But those who are shameless like you are should be treated accordingly. You will be fired from the company for trying to seduce me, using your body in provocative ways and for trying to soil mine and Miss Skyla’s name."
He announced standing up. Amber was slightly shaken but she didn’t give up.
"You can’t do that, I will tell the world that you tried to force yourself on me."
Zyair shook his head as if amused.
"I have been waiting for you to say that, Miss Amber. You see people like you exist everywhere and no matter how many precautions I take, they feel the need to invade my privacy and make false claims. That’s why I have cameras and microphones in my office to record everything. Now the recording will be handed over to the police along with you so they can lock you up for bringing false charges against me."
