The Repayment Plan

"I'll do just that." Anna said. "I'll be at the house in a couple of days for June's engagement. I guess I'll see you then?" She asked.

"Yes, thank you so much Anna, I am indebted to you." Paige said, full of gratitude.

"That's fine. Anybody working for us is automatically family and we don't play with family." Anna reassured her. "I will give you an update once I settle the BFL group. Bye for now." She said and hung up.

Paige sat back on the bed and picked up the flower vase Simon left for her. She thought of how her life seem to have changed suddenly in less than two weeks.

That night, dinner commenced with just Paige and Emily. Midway into dinner, Simon joined them. Emily had noticed the change in Paige's demeanor earlier in the day, so she didn't bother her with unnecessary discussions.

Dinner continued in silence even with Simon's presence. Emily was the first to finish eating and excused herself.

With Emily gone, Paige's discomfort grew. Since the incident at the garden, she had always avoided being alone with Simon. But the night felt different even with the presence of Sherman and some of the maids that were all standing in the room."

Paige prayed internally for them to continue eating in silence. She kept her eyes glued on her plate as she pushed a slice of vegetable into her mouth.

"Leave us." Simon finally spoke for the first time that evening.

He spoke to no one in particular but the maids, the few guards and Sherman started leaving the room. Paige shifted uncomfortably in her seat while waiting for whatever it is he was going to say.

Once they were all alone, Simon spoke again.

"How much loan do you need?" He asked, his gaze focused on his meal. Paige knew the question was directed to her.

"32,000." She replied.

"And how do you plan on paying back?" He asked again still staring at his plate.

The room suddenly felt cold. Paige swallowed hard as she looked at him.

"With my salary and I heard about the Cardiac center and I was hoping that I could work there during days that I'm free until I'm able to pay back everything I owe." She replied.

"I don't need more workers over there."

"Then I could continue working as your mother's carer, or any other job that you might have for me, if there is anyone that might suit me." Paige added.

"Oh, I have lots of openings that will suit you. He started. "You could be my fuck mate."

She turned sharply at him. Searching his face desperately for a sign that he could be joking, but saw nothing. He practically looked unbothered. She opened her mouth but no word came out of it.

"Do you still have a boyfriend?" He asked with a mocking tone. "I thought you should have burn that bridge by now. I do not bite Sunflower. The last time we spoke, you said you love what you see." Simon said standing up.

He went over to her, shifted her food aside and sat on the same spot.

"The only excuse you gave for not wanting to feel what I have to offer, was your boyfriend. Is the excuse still valid?" He asked with a sensual smile touching her cheeks gently with his thumb while the other hand found his newly discovered spot, the crease of her ears.

"Imagine the level of pleasure I will give you. I am a very patient man when it comes to my sexual desires and I am not greedy as well. Your pleasure, will be my pleasure." He reassured her with a smile.

Got down from the table and walked over, standing behind her. Slowly, he sucked on her neck.

"Ahhh," came the suppressed moan from Paige with her eyes shut.

"Shhh, you don't want to disturb the people behind those doors." He said playing his hands against the soft fabric of her blouse, teasing the surroundings of her moulds but never touching them.

"I will expose you to all the crazy sensual fantasies there is and I guarantee you the satisfaction you've never imagined. Think about it Sunflower and always remember to use your balcony. Mine is just beside yours and the door to my room will always be open to you." He whispered to her ears before leaving the room like nothing happened.

Once he was gone, Paige quickly moved to the window to get some air. She was choking, choking with desire, with need, such that she has never felt like before in her entire life.

"How am I going to survive this?" She asked herself as she looked outside the window.

After calming her nerves, She found the door and she made her way to Emily's room. She met her hostess fast asleep and proceeded to check her drug rack. Just like the day before, the women did not take her anti-hypertensives . She smiled happily, this could mean progress for her as it was a sign that Emily was gradually weaning off her drugs.

After arranging her bedside drawer putting the bottle of water away in the mini fridge to avoid spillage, she tucked Emily in properly before leaving the room for her own, upstairs.

Once in her room, she had her shower and dressed up in her sleepwear. She immediately thought of using her balcony just like Simon suggested earlier but cautioned herself against it.

Simon her employee was slowly creeping into her skin and as much as she hated to admit it, she was kind of enjoying the advances. But she knew that it was best to stay away from the man and in order to do that, she had to avoid being seen at places that the two of them can be seen alone.

With the resolve, she opened her favorite book from Ray Gibson since she was unable to read it the other day due to Simon's presence. Resting her back comfortably on the bedframe, she started reading and after a while, dozed off.
