Chapter 7
Anya was awakened from a deep sleep when her cellphone rang. She traced it under her pillow to see who dared to call her.
“H-Hello?”
“Witch!”
She immediately pulled the cellphone away from her ear. She used to be dizzy, but now her mind was wide awake.
“What?!”she answered after complaining. She frowned as if the other line could see her. She even rubbed her forehead because of a sudden headache.
“Anya, can I take you to the mall? Let’s go for a walk!”Carla, her best friend said in the other line.
Anya raised an eyebrow at what she heard. Her sleep was disturbed just for malling. Only now has she been able to rest from the pile of work but, it looks like she will still be stressed.
“Did you call me because of that? Oh no, Carla! Go with your boylets. I want to rest!”she vowed.
Carla laughed on the other line, which made her even annoyed. Her best friend was very insensitive sometimes. She wonders why until now, they’re still friends.
“Look! Anya, this is only once. Let’s make the most of G. C. Q, Please…”she said, obviously just begging her.
Anya sighed. It looked like she had no choice, so she just agreed with her.”Tsk, Fine!”she answered and cut off the call.
Anya got up quickly and stretched her head before deciding to take a bath. She even sang as if her morning had not been ruined earlier. She abruptly cleaned herself.
While fixing, Pappi entered her room.”Someone is looking for you downstairs,”he said immediately as he stared at her intently.
“Who else, Pappi?”Anya asked.
“Go and see for yourself,”he said calmly to her and left immediately.
Surprised, Anya quickly finished everything. She let her shoulder-length hair loose while wearing a floral dress. She also wore her glasses and stared at herself in her full body-sized mirror before exiting.
“Pappi, who was th-”
Everything stopped when her boss, appeared in her sight. Andrius Monterio was sitting in front of the couch of their living room. He grinned as his eyes stared at her. He wore cargo shorts and a white t-shirt as opposed to when he was in the office. She also noticed his tattoo on his arm. Her boss was just a doubt a gift to women. She blinked and shook her head. She was thinking of obscenities to her boss. Her cheeks blushed from the realization.
“Hey!”Andrius greeted.
Anya blinked many times to be sure that her eyes did not play on her. Her face immediately frowned. She thought her best friend ruined her morning, but Andrius ruined her day even more.”What are you doing here? We have no work today!”
“Hey! Anya… You’re rude,”her Pappi reprimanded. He even glared at her once again and pinched her side. She frowned because of that.
“Is there any problem?”Andrius cluelessly asked.
Anya wanted to roll her eyes at him, but she forbade herself from doing it. Instead, she walked closer to her boss and sat in front of him. She calmed herself and looked at him intently.
“What are you doing here?”she asked.
“Tsk, Fine! I want to ask if you could come with me,”Andrius said.
Anya raised an eyebrow at what he said. Her boss’trip was bizarre. He wanted her to decline Montreal, and then it was the one who would take advantage of her.
“I can’t! I’m going somewhere,”she replied immediately. She lowered her mirror slightly to look at him, secretly.
“Please,”he begged.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
“No.”She looked determined while Andrius sighed as a sign of defeat. He said goodbye to his Pappi before leaving. He didn’t even look at her.
Anya watched her boss leaving and sighed. She had to restrict herself from being close to any man. She didn’t want to be hurt and hoped. She realized that boys will always be boys. They would make you thrilled, and that was it.
“What drama is that? Why did you refuse him? Feeling beautiful?”her Pappi said while sitting in the vacant chair. He even glared at her at the same time.
“I have a walk with Carla, Pappi. You seem to be annoyed. Why is that?”
“That look!”he exaggeratedly said, pointing out Andrius’physique.”You rejected it, Anya? Very handsome with a beautiful body. He must be a good performer in bed,”her Pappi added. His attention was on the T. V. As usual;he was watching K-Drama.
“Pappi, you are rude. I am still a virgin!”she shouted.
“You should be! Because women like you will only be for handsome guys!”he said with a laugh.
Anya shook her head and left. When she looked at her cellphone, Carla’s missed calls were popping nonstop. While riding in a taxi and wearing a facemask, she thought about what his boss was doing. Apart from plain business, she has no obligation to him at all. She knew Andrius was a manwhore. She has to distance herself from him.
Anya immediately looked for his friend when she arrived at the mall. There were only a few people, so he saw her quickly. She immediately approached her with a smile on her face.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
“Oh my God, Anya! I thought my hair would turn white while waiting for you,”she complained and frowned at her.
Anya ignored it and slowly sat down in the opposite chair.”Sorry.”
They ate first before starting to tour the mall. Wherever there was a clothing stall, they checked it. Carla does not care how much it costs. Aside from being rich, she was also beautiful. Bitchy sometimes but kind. And even though she was bored, she let her friend go where she wanted to go. She just followed her and nodded when asked.
“Anya, are these beautiful? Does color matter to me? What do you think?”
“It’s okay. Try it. Go!”she responded.
Carla entered the dressing room and measured. At the same time, Anya was sitting on the side of the store. There is an empty chair there that can be rested. She was bored and tired when someone entered the premises. It’s not someone because she knew exactly who it was. She frowned and suddenly had a bitter taste in her personality. She felt betrayed and disappointed at the same time.
Andrius Monterio was holding a woman’s hand. It’s still fun talking here. From her point of view, the two also seem to be taking a walk. Maybe, Andrius was pampering her woman too.
“Tsk! He still has invitations to me. He’s very…”she whispered while looking at them.
“Honey, can I just check these clothes? Going to go to the dressing room,’kay?”said the woman once kissing Andrius on the lips.
Suddenly, Anya’s head heated at what she saw. Her eyes also widened, seeing them not just kissing but torridly kissing each other. They were french kissing. When the two got bored, it was only then that they separated.
She looked at Andrius intently. Anya felt her heartache for no apparent reason. When he probably felt someone was staring at him, he turned to her position. She abruptly hid in the pile of hanging clothes. When she looked at it, Andrius was no longer there. She sighed with relief, but when she turned her back to start walking, she was just so shocked.
“Gotcha!”
Andrius Monterio was smirking like an idiot at her back. In one swift move, he was holding her waist. He approached her as if to kiss her while Anya, in turn, did not know where to turn her head because of their position.
“W-What are you doing?”she stuttered.
“Nothing! I want to feel you. Though, I want to kiss your bad mouth,”he said while staring at her lips. He swallowed several times before being shaken.
Anya was annoyed by what he said, so she stared at him. Eye to eye.”You can’t kiss me. You just french kiss your girl!”she shrieked.
Andrius’eyebrows rose. There was a glint of smiles on his face at the same time.”So you saw it, huh. Well, not when I want to,”
“What-”
He did. Andrius Monterio was kissing her. Her boss was kissing her lips. He kissed her lips like it was the sweetest candy he had ever tasted. Anya was shocked. She was caught off-guard. When Andrius finished kissing her, he even licked his lips. He grinned, which made her eyes widened.
“Rude!”
Andrius released her and moved away slightly. Eyes widened as there was a sly smile on his lips.”I want to kiss you more, baby. But, not here,”
Andrius Monterio started walking out of the boutique. He was holding her hand and did not intend to let go. Anya followed him because of that. She looked to the boutique where she was a while ago and saw Carla. She even dared to answer her call.
“Where are you?! You witch! I’ve been looking for you!”
“Out-”
“No phone calls when you’re with me,”Andrius said emphatically while staring at her. They are already outside the mall and just waiting for his car.
Anya blinked because she could see a strange emotion from its eyes while staring at him. The feeling that Andrius only can name. She sighed. She just realized she was nodding to him. She, who said to stay away from men, was obeyed to Andrius like this. She built a wall, but it was useless when it was about her boss.
Anya commanded herself. She was fucked up.
