Mila opened her eyes to the sound of something calmly sounding next to her ear. She breathed looking at her surroundings to see herself lying in someone's arms. It was warm and a hand was holding her in place.
She frowned moving Mila looked up to see Damien holding her. She gasped moving.
"Don't you might fall" he calmly said.
"Am sorry I fell asleep, but...but I was in the seat " She mattered.
"I know, but I had to use it. But didn't want to wake you up " he let out.
The room fell silent, the one she had heard upon waking up had stopped talking. Her eyes moved to the other side of the room to see five of her colleagues in the office and Rian had been presenting something on the projector.
Those cold curious eyes stared back at her. Mila sat up almost falling off Damien's lap. He grabbed her by the waist back in place.
"Be careful "he said.
"Am sorry, can I leave now?" she asked.
"Mmm," he slowly let go.
Mila got up and rushed out. She heard Damien's voice tell Rian to go on as she left.
She ran out to the washrooms. Her face was so red in embarrassment
"How could you fall asleep in his office, Mila, "she said to herself.
She looked in the mirror fixing her pale face then down at her palms.
....
After their small presentation, Rian walked straight to where Mila was being surrounded by her coworkers.
He sent everyone back to their places.
"Thank you, "she said.
He smirked.
"This is the last time I will ask you, do you know our new director " he asked loudly for everyone to hear.
Mila gulped giving him a small nod.
"ALittle "she let out.
"How little?" he asked.
"He saved and gave me a place to stay," she said.
"So I was right, you seduced him. I wondered why he was treating you that way" he said.
Mila flinched.
"I...I didn't seduce him " she cried out.
"You didn't, then why would such an important person treat you that way?... He was holding you in his arms and told us to speak lower just because you were asleep "he scoffed, "he can't do all that without having got something from you".
Mila got up.
"Stop it Rian...what your saying isn't appropriate " she let out.
He laughed pointing a finger in her face.
"So it's true, and here I thought you were naive but oh my was I wrong. Seducing men in high places with that face...you must be good in bed for them not to see how ugly you are ".
Mila sighed holding back her tears. She wasn't going to cry this time, not again.
"This all happened because of you "she yelled.
Rian glared, "Me, now blaming others?"
"Yes, if you had not thrown me out on that cold night and got attacked by wolves then none of this would have happened "Her voice got louder.
"It was him who saved me, gave me a place to stay cause Mom told me not to return home....he was a stranger but treated me better than the people I called family "
Mila was on the verge of crying.
Rian raised his hand slapping her. She fell back huffing as her tears finally fell from the force.
Mila got up again ripping the necklace from her neck.
"I guess I don't need this anymore...you can give it to your other girlfriend "she cried.
She pushed him aside running away before her tears blinded her bumping into someone.
Today wasn't her day, Mila touched her forehead in pain but passed when she felt those now familiar arms hold her.
He bent down to her face wiping her tears.
"Are you alright? "he asked.
Mila blinked looking up at him. No, she wasn't alright, how could he ask if he saw her tears?
"No am not, ... it is all your fault " she cried.
"I know, am sorry " he pulled her close. Mila cried hiding her face in his chest.
She didn't care anymore about who was watching, she was already embarrassed.
Damien pulled away to check her face.
He frowned, "What happened to your face?"
Mila was silent, just like the whole room was.
"Will you lie again? "he said.
Mila sniffed as she turned to face the pale-faced Rian.
"No I won't "she muttered her tears falling.
