His Whore [ON HOLD]

Chapter Twenty Five

"So you can fuck him but you won't give me a chance?" Alec blurted out.

August snapped her eyes to Alec's, surprise evident in her eyes. "What?" She breathed out in disbelief "you can fuck him but when I'm offering you a chance at a amazing, beneficial relationship with me you refuse it."

Augusts's eyebrows knitted together in annoyance "excuse me but you have no right to have any opinion on my personal life. What I do outside of work is my business and who I do is nothing that should concern you. I don't care about your benefits, I am your assistant. I take care of all of your business needs and if you can handle that then maybe I should quit" August stood up in a fit of fury.

Alec has no right to judge her on her preferences. August liked Alec, that was true, but as a boss more than anything else and if they did end up in a relationship she'd want to get to know him more than the benefits he so desperately wants to flaunts. This is the reason why she'd stopped herself from gaining feeling from him to begin with, Alec dated the craziest of women. Some who took his money and fame as a way to succeed in life, others who became crazy obsessed with him and sent hate mail to Augusts's desk. The few nice ones gave August a chance before they decided that August was beneath them and began territorial. True, he hasn't had many since August had started working with him but she's had her fair share of angry ex girlfriends finding her outside of her home and workplace to create drama.

It came to the point where she had to get restraining orders on a little less than half of the women Alec has dated.

"And if you want to know the reason why I'm not dating you, it's because you're my BOSS the person who pays for the apartment that I live in. If we were to break up and you get caught up in your feelings you can fire me and leave me in the situation of being jobless and soon enough, broke. Get out of my apartment Mr. Sterling" August hissed our through gritted teeth.

She walked over to the door and held it open "now!" Alec's eyes widened at her very emotional outburst.

Alec sighed "I'm sorry August" He apologized "it was wrong of me to say those things. I know that this is a hard decision, that putting you in a sticky situation, but I'd like to be with you. Let me have another chance, please? I'll show you that I can be caring" he pleaded.

"Go, Mr. Sterling" August nudged her head towards the open door "out" Alec heaved another sigh.

"Just think about, you have the next three days off. All paid leaves. I'll see you at work on Thursday" Alec left.

August couldn't sleep that night.

And she couldn't sleep the next either.

Her mind ran a mile a minute and would only slow when she began working from home. She rearranged meetings through Sam and Ralph while she stayed in bed, ordered takeout and typed away at her laptop. She'd managed a lot within her time off but as much as she was excited about putting a dent in her workload, anxiety rose at seeing and having to speak to Alec again.

She still could not get over what he said and the proposition he'd made.

August stood up and walked over to her door. Only seconds ago someone had knocked on it but she'd been to consumed in the email she was writing to get up and answer the door. Opening the door, a woof of air from the hall made goosebumps appear. August looked down.

There stood a hundred dollar, maybe even two hundred dollar bouquet of flowers. It was a variety of flowers, some white lilies and roses others are daisy, daffodil and color changing tulips. It was gorgeous but very unnecessary. August picked up the crystal vase of flowers and sat them on her kitchen island.

"Interesting" she murmured reaching for the card.

It didn't hold many words or a name but she knew exactly who it was from.

I'm sorry.

It read.

August groaned dropping the card onto the island before rubbing her temples. Alec was a nice guy but she didn't want her job to be at risk if she were to date him and end up dumbing him. Or if he ended up dumping her, it'd be awkward working under a guy who dumps you. And what about Sophia, what would he think of her child, born out of wedlock and from an affair. What if he had an obligation to marry a rich, beneficial women. She wasn't rich nor could she provide for Alec. All she had was the gift of making babies and she already has a baby from another guy.

August reached for her phone that sat on the island. She quickly texted Alec, there first means on communication since her outburst.

The flowers are beautiful, thank you.

She didn't wait for a reply from him and instead, headed for her bed to take a nap, hoping that by the time she had to go back to work that she'd have made her mind up.
