Reborn Beauty

Betty stare intently into his eyes as if asking for a response even though she knew she wouldn't get one. The question had just blasted out of her mouth without her thinking about it but she somehow felt good knowing that she dared to ask. Being around nix had crumbled down all the walls she had built around her heart not to fall for him again but right now she wasn't sure of herself. To make it all worse Nix had been acting up to strangely and she wasn't used to this new nature of his.

She grew up soft in his hands with the way he always cherished and cared for her back then only for things to turn around and the worst is that he never even apologized for cheating on her. He was still acting all mean and she didn't like a bit of it

"Neither" he responded and left the office immediately.

"Such a supercilious man" she scoffed. She immediately braced herself up. She wasn't going to fall for any of his tricks again. She was going in hard on him this time. The door opened and her heart skipped a beat.

Nix walked in

"Do I have to remind you that you are my maid?"

Betty raised a brow

"Don't you have any sense of respect?"

Betty immediately stood up from his seat.

"Sorry sir"

"Get out" He ordered

She didn't hesitate at all and immediately made to leave the office.

"Come back here"

She turned back and walked towards him

"Kneel"

"My back aches...I hope you know what to do. Or do I have to explain myself this time?"

"No sir"

She immediately stood up and went behind him to give him a massage.

"Take it easy Woman!" he snared at her

"Sorry sir"

"You better be if not I'll fire you and get someone else who can do it better"

There was no more word heard from the two till Nix finally decided to let her relax her hurting hand.

"No thank you?" he exclaimed when he noticed she hadn't said a word about letting her go

"Thank you, sir," she said with a pained expression

"Too late....you know my feet are a little sore," he said putting out his feet towards her. Betty knelt and began to remove his shoes then she began to massage his feet.

Nix didn't know how to feel right now....pity towards her arms he was sure was sore or to care less and keep up playing his game.

"Is that alright sir?" Betty asked softly

"What do you mean?" he asked roughly

"Sir my arms are beginning to hurt"

"And so? How is that my concern?" he said pulling his feet away from her grasp. He held up her chin

"You're meant to serve me and serve me you would"

Betty bent her head low

"Stand up. We're going to get some lunch"

Betty stood up on her feet.

Nix stood up and Betty took the hint and wore Nix his suit. They headed out.

When they had entered the car parked outside, nix glanced at Betty

"You need some change?"

She nodded

"Take us to a nearby boutique" he ordered the driver who nodded in response.

The car came to a halt at a small boutique located to a larger one.

Nix and Betty stepped down and walked into the store where all kinds of fashionable clothes and jewelry were displayed.

"make your choice," Nix said to Betty when a lady approached them

"Please sir make yourself at ease," the lady said in a gentle tone offering nix a seat. She led Betty and left her to make her choice.

"I'll take this" Betty pointed to the flair red gown and a pair of black heels

"That was quick" the lady muttered as she picked up the items Betty had requested. Nix went to pay while Betty sat on the couch waiting for him, he came out with a bag in his hands

"You don't expect me to carry this for you right?"

Betty immediately took the bag from his hands and left without looking back while nix followed behind but before he had left he had heard the lady whisper something about them being a strange couple

Nix glanced at Betty

"Phoenix and Betty....." he thought

He tried to combine their names but couldn't make out anything meaningful so he brought out his cell phone and searched for the meaning of their names

Phoenix:- Anything Reborn after being destroyed.

Betty:- A beautiful woman

Nix became confused at first but a thought popped into his mind that made his smile widen to another level

Betty became puzzled when she saw nix smile the way he did but she kept quiet just staring at him. Nix noticed the way Betty stared at him and returned the look

"Reborn beauty" he muttered in a low voice but she heard what he said clearly.

"What is he saying?" she asked herself
