"wha.......wha....who... I.....erm....." Steve stuttered.
He cleared his throat and tried again, "Who the hell is that?" he asked barely able to control his anger.
"It's my new boss" she replied
"Boss? Boss who asked you to be a mistress? You applied for a job and didn't tell me?"
“I’m so sorry; I never knew I'll be chosen so I didn't bother telling you"
"And how do you explain being a mistress?? Is that your job??"
"Ohmahgawd Steve! How can you think so lowly of me? He said waitress and I'll also be taking care of his kids" she answered "his unborn kids" she added in her mind
"You have nothing to worry about dear, think about it. It'll take my mind's off things and stop the investigation that could jeopardize our love" she added for effect trying her best to look sincere
That seems to make Steve lower his guard because he relaxed visibly.
"Hey woman, I give you one minute to come out and your time starts now" Evans voice came through the phone interrupting whatever Steve was about to say
She looked at him questioningly, her perfect eyebrows raised
"Okay, okay, you can go and don't try flirting with him"
"He's just a boss and besides he's married"
Just great, another lie rolled from her tongue effortlessly.
49..48...47......46....45.....44
Evans countdown jolted Sharron from her thoughts as we brought out a duffel bag under the bed and threw a few clothes inside, taking her laptop too
"Why you taking clothes?" Steve queried
"I'm supposed to take care of his kids for 2 days" She replied and ran to the toilet to take toiletries.
" How do you know you're supposed to take care of his kids for two days if you just got employed and the phone had been on speaker since"
Oh shit, the phone. She quickly hang-up and switched off her phone
"I'm still waiting for your answer"
She stiffened and spared a glance at him to find him staring at her intently
"I.... I.... I just guessed?" she replied, laughing nervously making her statement come out as a question
"Uhm.....time to go, will call you when I get there" she pecked his cheeks and rushed out just in time to see Evans walking towards the entrance
"Something is definitely up" Steve thought as he looked at Sharron's retreating figure from the window. “Maybe it's just first day at work nervousness" he added shrugging away the first thought.
"I didn't know I have kids" was the first thing Evans said to her immediately the drove out of the compound.
"Really? How could you forget such an important thing, seems your memory has being tampered with" She said patting his head but withdrew her hand almost immediately she touched because she felt a tingling sensation run through her hands like a bolt of electricity.
This was a feeling she haven't felt in a very long time, ever since the incident that happened to her in high school.
Evans too felt the sensation and that made him slam on the brakes abruptly causing other drivers to swear at them.
He turned to look at Sharron, his eyes throwing daggers
"Next time you touch me again, you wouldn't live to see the next day" he warned. And put the car back to ignition driving fast like he's being chased.
“Why does her touch bother me?" he asked himself. "I need to clear my mind" he thought and changed route. "My beach house would be the perfect place to think things out"
