So Demeaning.

CHAPTER 4 *TESSA* I stared at the floor unable to look at him. I should really learn to control my tongue if I don’t wanna lose this job. I waited for him to speak but he didn’t..the silence was making me more uneasy. I slowly glanced up and our eyes met. He was staring at me but I couldn’t read his facial expression. Then I saw Declan brought out his wallet and extracted some notes from it. He placed the cash on the table. “Miss Beckett,I really thought I wouldn’t see you again and I honestly didn’t want to.But now that I did…I think I need to make you understand that aside from being a CEO,I have no other side jobs so take back your 200 dollars.” I swallowed. I can’t believe he called me into his office to clarify that he wasn’t a prostitute. “I understand.”I said with a harmless smile. I exhaled,extremely relieved. So we just have to get the past behind us. That night didn’t happen and we can… Before I could complete my thoughts…I saw him throw a hundred dollar bill on the table. I stared at him,confused. “That 100 dollar is your reward for last night.It wasn’t very good,you see.It’s only worth that much.”He let out,sardonically. I bit my lower lip in anger. I’m only worth 100 dollars?! So Demeaning. My fists clenched and I tried to control my temper. I reminded myself how badly I needed this job. So I force a smile out of me and picked up the 300 dollars. “If that’s all,sir,I would like to get back to work.”With that,I left his office. ********* As soon as I got back to my desk,Audrey came over. “C’mon,girl…why did he ask for you?What did he say?Tell me everything.”She asked almost at the same time. I sighed and replied;”To tell me that he isn’t a prostitute.” “And?”She probed. I blinked..there’s no way I can tell her that he made me the prostitute instead. She was laugh her ass out at me. So I shrugged. “What?You can’t certainly mean that was all you two talked about.” “That was all.What were you expecting?”I asked. Audrey giggled.”I thought,you know…well,he might have fallen for you last night and you guys were on a start of a beautiful and romantic relationship.” Instantly,I cringed.”Get that idea out of your head.I’m not interested.” She laughed.”You’re joking,right?Do you know how many women would kill to spend a night with a man like that?All the female employees here are gushing over him.” She brought out her cellphone and showed me Declan’s picture which had been posted by some female employees in the company. I rolled my eyes.”Oh please.” “Honestly…tell me…how did it feel to have sex with him?” How did it feel? I don’t even know because I can’t even remember it clearly. I do know I was very tender this morning. I can remember glimpses of him thrusting in and out of me. Ah…I’m never getting drunk again. To save face,I replied.”It wasn’t so impressive.If you desperately want to know how it felt…you could try to sleep with him if you want.” “I wish I could.”She sighed and returned to her desk. Deep down…I wish I could remember everything about last night…every little detail. I mean…to be honest…the man is hot…so good looking.. He might really be good with his member… Did he do it to me so good then? It’s such a pity that there would be no opportunity for me to get to know that. He’s my boss now. And I won’t cross the line so there can never be a connection between us. My phone rang out,interrupting my thoughts. It was my mother… I’m pretty sure she was going to urge me more into attending uncle Wilson’s party tonight. I covered my face with my hands,trying to prepare myself for the evening for it was going to be a long night.
