"Mr Bronze, tell me, are you jealous?" I asked and he signed out with a small roll of his eyes as he got up.
"Like hell I am." He clicked his tongue and placed his hands on his hips. "I despise the fact you are dating a competitor."
"He didn't seem as though he was a competitor. Wasn't the proposal for allowing your companies to partially merge for him to offer his trade routes to you?"
"Where the hell did you get that? Were you snooping around my-"
"I'm your secretary. I needed to know. I had to ask the old secretary what the proposal was about yesterday evening." I sighed as I got to my knees. "Aren't I supposed to keep track of records?"
"Hm." He glanced towards the ground and clenched his jaw tightly, looking angry.
"Why do you hate Hazel-"
"Keep our relationship business from now on. I don't expect personal questions from you, any insulting gesture or any remarks or your point of view on how I act or what I do. You'll keep your pretty mouth shut and respect me as a boss. Got it?" He asked as he pointed sharply at my head. "I don't want you talking to me the way you previous do. Keep. Things. Professional." He hissed and walked away from me. "Get the bath ready." He said as he threw himself on the bed.
Avery is mad again.
I sighed and walked over towards the bathroom. I glanced over my shoulder towards him as I stood at the door, only to notice his eyes were on me. He slowly shut his eyes and turned from me. I frowned and walked into the bathroom and towards the bathtub.
Maybe he's just angry at me because of Hazel. He hates Hazel, so I understand...
I knelt beside the bathtub and opened the facet, watching as the water fell into the tab, bringing in the feeling of guilt and unease. That even though my own boss hated Hazel, I decided to make things serious between us, only bringing more problems to Avery every time we met.
Once the bathtub was half way full, I turned the facets off and got up from my knees, glancing at the mirror for a moment.
Yaiks....
I could see a fading love bite....
"Fvck... Aren't you done?" Avery suddenly as he walked into the bathroom, sweating like hell over his forehead and neck.
"Are you ok-"
"Get the fvck out. I'm fine." He hissed and I could tell he wasn't.
I quickly grabbed his shoulder and pressed the back of my palm against his forehead. My guess was right, he was coming down with a fever.
"When did you get the fever-"
"I'm fine. I just need to soak. I've been thinking a lot." He sighed as he softly grabbed my wrist and removed my hand from his forehead. "Don't give me that sh*tty face of yours. I'm not dying." He said before pointing towards the door. "I need to soak. You can go home for today. I cleared my schedule so you don't have to work, I'll spend it sleeping anyway." He said as he began to unbutton his shirt. I quickly turned away as my cheeks suddenly burned.
"Okay." I sighed out. "Any medicines I should get before I leave?" I asked and he shook his head. "You sure?"
"They have medicines here, for a fever that is. I can just send a housekeeper for it." He said as he pulled his shirt off, forcing my eyes to dart else where.
I quickly nodded and walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind me as I suddenly filled my own eyes with flash backs of yesterday with Hazel.
That was so uncalled for. I haven't even told Linda about it yet and I bet she would freak out.
I would have told her this morning but she was taking a day off. To see her parents abroad for two days at least. One of them is sick, so I heard from the replacement. Her phone was hardly reachable even after I tried at different hours.
At this point I wish I could talk to someone....
I could leave, but the thought of leaving Avery to tend to his own sicknesses is a bit sketchy, I doubt he would buy himself some medicine.
I'll just head over to the store. Just to get him some medicine.
