Loving A Stripper (Editing)

chapter 11🦋

Grace

I stormed into my suite, took off my clothes, walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower.

Slamming my hands would've been a better reaction, but knowing the implication and how painful broken fingers could be, I gently placed them on the white tiled walls and let my tears joined in intimacy with the cold waters.

Just quit the job, my subconscious said, as I sat in the bathtub with my knees to my chest.

"I can't, I need to give Natalie the best in life. If it means serving that jerk, then I have to," I murmured, cancelling the ungodly plan of quitting.

Now stand up Grace, don't let that rich asshole, make you weak.

I stood and felt the fluid of self-motivation ran around my body.

Smiling like the incident with Kunle never happened, I turned off the shower and left the bathroom with a white towel around my chest.

I folded my arms on my chest and focused my gaze at the figure that sat on the king-sized bed, his legs were crossed with his black Gucci slide dangling on his foot, his full furrowed brows showed the importance of what he was doing.

"What are you doing in my room? and how did you get in?"

He shifted his attention to me but still had his brows arched. "I own the hotel, never forget that fact."

He pointed to my laptop and phone beside him. "I came to drop those."

I nodded, waiting for him to continue and render the apology I deserved but he stood and started for the door.

He halted with his hand on to the knob. "You know your behaviour today was unacceptable. You deserved to be fired, but because of my kind heart, I came to the concluded to let it go."

"You should be apologizing to me," I raved, hands still folded, lips pressed together in a frown.

He turned to me. "And why is that madam Grace?"

"You insulted me Kunle!" I flagged my hands in annoyance.

A small smile that seemed more frightening than inviting, played on his lips. "Oh, she knows my name now, we are now above the sir level already?"

"Now listen, you are working under me madam and I'm paying you well, I don't see why I should apologize for your mistake."

"I-"

"And this, Should never repeat itself, is that clear?" His cold voice sent a shiver down my body that was still wrapped around my towel.

I nodded with parted lips.

How can he just turn everything upside down, making me feel guilty in seconds?

"And oh, I forgot, you can order whatever you need," He said, and walked out, the cold air floated with him.

**"

I jumped from the bed frustrated and opened my travelling case, ready to go away from my room.

I took out a faded blue jean and a yellow off-shoulder shirt, one of Natalie's favourite pick.

With my wig off and my sanders on, I stepped out of the room and walked to the elevator at the left end of the white-painted hall.

I moved to the back, while a couple stood in front of me kissing. We were alone in the elevator with no other spectator to view the fabulous event happening in front of me.
