My offer still stands

"I can't believe you already forgot about such an important task which the Boss assigned you. I am utterly disappointed in you, my dear poor brother," Stella uttered and knocked the wall with her palm while rubbing Daniel's head slowly with her other hand.

She reminded him how his head would be hung on the wall if he did not find the girl soon. Daniel's heart shattered and he hung his head low in distress. After seeing his saddened expression, Stella's heart was overjoyed in excitement. Daniel tried to get rid of her hand which kept on irritating him as it stroked his head.

Meanwhile, Wade had opened the door once again and held it open with his right hand as he waited for Stelle to go in. Stella glanced at his poor little brother once and threw him a mocking smile.

Before she marched into the room, Stella gave Daniel a sharp look and whispered, "My offer still stands, in case you change your mind."

Without waiting for a response from him, with long strides she reached the door which Wade held open for her. She dropped him a cute smile and said,

"Thank you, Boss. You are the best."

"You are always welcome, Stella. I am sure you would do a better job than someone else over here who can't even do the simple task that I assigned him. He even had the audacity to forget all about it," Wade said with a mocking tone and smiled smugly.

"I still can't believe I would be seeing this day and get to stay alive. I had been working day and night to put this contract together. But now all the credits goes to someone else right in front of my eyes who everyone knows doesn't deserve it at all. Now I could hardly do anything about it and just walk away with folded hands," Daniel mumbled and left with hurried steps without looking behind him.

'He does know that I hate my sister the most and he just has to bring her in to replace me… Replace ME? I can't believe my eyes and ears. What have I done ever so wrong for him to treat me this way?' He thought and stomped his feet in annoyance.

After walking for a few steps, he stopped in front of the door that leads to the staircase. Just when he was about to open the door with a push, he realized that he had brought the contract along with him.

"Should I just bring it along with me? It is my hard work. Why should I share it with her?" He knocked his head on the door and wondered.

"NO! It will only bring losses to our company. I will give them these files and wash my hands off this project forever," With great pain, he decided to let go of the hard work he put in and allow it to easily fall into his evil sister's hands.

When he was about to go back and return the files, Stella came over there with slow sturdy steps.

"Oh, Daniel… My dear poor, Danny! You are still the same, aren't you? The one who never grows up even after getting hurt so many times on your face! At least now accept your defeat and agree to my conditions. I will help you with an open mind," Stella tried her luck to lure him into her trap one more time.

Daniel was in no mood to listen to her blabber, so he slammed the files on her face without saying anything to her. He then entered the door to climb down the stairs with a stony face.

"Oi! The elevator is the other way," Stella shouted behind Daniel's back.

Even though her scream reached Daniel's ears, he did not give it any thought and continued his journey towards the ground floor on the staircase with a heavy heart.

"Tut! Tut! As I said earlier, you just confirmed that you never learn. I can already imagine you bowing down under my feet in a couple of hours. I feel that time might be even less and is going to come very soon. Maybe in a few minutes? I will wait until then for you to come crawling back to this big sister begging for help," Stella sniggered at him.

"Even if I die, I would never do such a silly thing, you Devil! Also, I am your big brother. I was born two minutes before you were born, don't you dare forget that!" Daniel shouted from two floors down while he put his tongue out and purred at her.

"Such a douchebag," Stella scorned him and shook her head in contempt.

.........…

At the same time, in the outskirts of the city inside a dirty motel's bathroom, Mila held the pregnancy test strip in her hands. After looking at the results, she cursed at her bad luck.

"How? How could I not get pregnant after so many attempts? Does he even have any sperm in that wobbly stick he has in between his legs?" She cussed at someone who she was trying very badly to take advantage of.

In the middle of his work, Wade sneezed several times after she cursed him. He was about to sign the contract with Robyn but then he had to stop because of his sneezes. He used his index finger to rub under his nose once and then continued with his work after controlling his sneezes.

Mila threw the pregnancy test strip in the dustbin in vexation and stood up from the commode. She walked out of the bathroom and dropped her tired body on top of the smelly mattress.

At first, it was very difficult for her to put up with this new environment. But then after staying here for almost a month now, she got used to her current circumstances. Anyway, her savings were depleting and she would not have enough money left to afford even this motel in a couple of days.

"Damn, I have to get pregnant before I run out of all my cash. Then I can try to loot those wolves of their wealth." Mila kicked her legs in the air and then slammed the bed with her hands.

She wondered, 'If it's even possible to loot them?'

She shook her head as she understood that before she could touch a single coin, they would eat her alive. She then stared at the dirty ceiling which was too unappealing even for a beggar to look at.

"I had been sleeping with him for several days now but there is still no use. Why? Why am I unable to get pregnant? Why? Just Why? Why?" She kicked the foot board in frustration with full force as she questioned her actions.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" She jumped up and sat on the bed holding her aching foot.

"Bad Footboard… Very bad, footboard," She pouted her mouth with tear-filled eyes.

The pain was not so intense but still her tears would just not stop. She could not help but feel a little down and frustrated thinking about her current situation. And also because of what happened to her earlier.

'I, for one, sure have no luck at all, no luck at all...' She sighed.
