Chapter 19

Blake’s expression was epic when she refused to let him do what he said. He even got angrier when she told him that if he insisted she would back out of their agreement. He then cursed furiously and put on his shirt then slammed the door after him. She smiled triumphantly when he was gone. She was lucky that she won the round last night. She used the stairs that morning because she didn’t want to meet him in the lift. She already felt suffocated. He wasn’t her boyfriend but he seemed to be present wherever she was.

Vanessa was sitting on Carla’s chair when she arrived at the shop. The other woman was glowering at her but she tried to ignore her and just went straight to her table to get ready for work.

"I am going to be your boss today since mom is not coming. I want you to make some patterns of women's tops. Pick up all the materials we need. The company’s car is not at your disposal so take the public transportation instead. "She tossed a business card on her table.

“This is where you will get the garments! I want all the designs after lunch .I will check them one by one. I don’t want to waste my time checking ugly designs so you better do your best! The client is coming this afternoon so you go now! “ She ordered.

"But your mom told me to finish the gown your cousin will use for a party. I also have to work on the orders of Mrs. Lopez.” Heather informed her.

"Are you deaf? I just told you that mom is not coming today didn’t I? I am in-charge so you do what I tell you to do!”

***

Heather was really pissed. Obviously Vanessa wanted to get back at her because of Blake. She wasn’t told that getting the garments was by appointment. The secretary said that they didn’t get any messages from Carla’s boutique that they will send someone to pick up some supplies. She was lucky that since Carla had been their long-time customer, the secretary told her to wait. According to her she would ask their boss if it was possible to prioritize their orders even without an appointment. That made her sigh in relief. But her relief was not for long because she waited for two hours since the big boss was in a meeting.

And that wasn’t all. Finally after receiving the garments, she had to carry everything by herself. She had to walk for ten minutes to the main road to get a taxi since the road leading to the shop was narrow. only bicycles could pass. She felt sticky because the day was muggy. She was tired and hungry. It looked like she would have a late lunch. Now she regretted not taking any breakfast. By the time she got back to the shop, she was sweating like a pig and she could eat a horse. Her ulcer was triggered due to hunger. Vanessa was on the phone and didn’t even glance at her. She sulkily put what she was carrying on the floor.

"Sorry cupcake. I will make it up to you later. I miss you." She heard Vanessa say on the phone.

She halted. She had a feeling that she was talking to Blake. She gritted her teeth. Maybe because she didn’t let him kiss her private part last night so now he was going to break one her rules in their agreement. He would see Vanessa later. She would go to his gym after work and tell him what she thought of him.

She was about to go out for lunch when she heard Vanessa’s voice talking to her.

"I need to show some designs to my friend. She will drop by in an hour. Make five designs right now!” she ordered.

“I will do them later. Let me grab a sandwich first.” She said coldly while controlling her anger.

“I said do them right now! You can have lunch later!”

***

Heather was dead tired upon arriving at Blake’s gym. She was suffering from as slight stomachache because she had a very late lunch. She was also jealous as hell. She was the possessive type. When they were young, she felt jealous when her dad and mom gave Stacey some attention. She wanted all their attention. She didn’t like it too when her friends go out without her.

She took a shower at women's locker room before putting on her exercise outfit. She was confident that she looked fresh and pretty. She knew how to get her revenge on Blake. If he would break one of the rules she would piss him. According to the receptionist, he was not at the gym yet but he was going to arrive soon. She looked for Kenji but s unfortunately he was only at the gym until 4 p.m. every Monday so she decided to just use the machines. She hid a smile when she saw some good-looking men using some of the gym equipment. She was pretty sure she could do a light flirting with one of them to make Blake jealous.

Blake was pissed. He had to fix some problems in one of his bars. His mom called him to tell him that Kristel wanted to talk to him. He didn’t want to waste his time with his ex. She wasted many years of his life already. Vanessa phoned him too. She called twice. He told her that he wasn’t interested to continue sleeping with her anymore and of course she got angry and said she was not going to let go easily. He was worried that she might give Heather a hard time at work so he will talk to his pretty tigress later. He talked to one of his female friends who was a model. According to her, her agency was looking for a fashion designer and he mentioned Heather to her. He got annoyed with her last night but he didn’t want her to be in a difficult situation. He still didn’t want any commitment though he wanted to get her badly. He was relieved when she was the one who suggested the kind of set up she preferred. She had plenty of rules but he could live with them. He would do anything to bed her anytime soon to keep his sanity. It’s been days since he had sex with someone. Unfortunately, his body only wanted Heather. He was not used to not having sex for several days. He was sexually frustrated,.

He was greeted by the new receptionist Shey. "Sir, a female asked about you a while ago."

"Who?" he asked slightly frowning.

" It’s Miss Heather."

He smiled and thanked her then proceeded to the gym.

***

Heather just finished using the abdominal press. And she was making faces at Enzo. He gave her instructions on how to do the exercise the right way but it was hard.

"Why do you make it look so easy? I have some muscle pain now." she complained.

"Well that means you were doing it right. ”He said with a grin.

He helped her get up from the bench by taking her hand. She smiled at him too.

"Do you have other plans later?" he asked.

"Why?" she asked still smiling. He had eyes like Kenji. He was nice-looking too.

“Would you like to have dinner with me?”

***

Something snapped inside Blake when he saw Heather flirting to Enzo. They had an agreement that he would not have other women because he didn’t want her to be with other men. His eyes narrowed when he heard her laughed. She never laughed like that when she was with him.

"Bullshit!" he cursed.

He would do something to release his anger. He didn’t give a damn if there were other people in the gym. He was seeing red at the moment.

Heather turned her head to the right because she sensed something. Herr eyes widened upon seeing Blake coming their way. His face was red with anger.

"B-Blake."

Before she knew it, he yanked her forearm.

Enzo reacted with what he did. He called Blake’s name to stop him. Blake on one hand looked angrily at the other man .Heather regretted flirting with Enzo because Blake looked furious and ready to be violent.

"No Blake.." She was scared of him at the moment.

"Don’t you dare meddle you bastard or I will smack you until you bleed! I don't ever want to see your face here again! If I still see you when I got back I will make sure that you will be badly injured!” He rasped.

Everyone stopped to watch and listen. Heather’s feistiness vanished. Blake was mad as a hatter. He didn’t even care that Enzo was his client and didn’t seem to give a damn if the others were witnessing everything. He dragged her to the door.

'Where are you taking me?" she asked but he didn't answer her.

She realized that they were heading to his office. He shoved her inside. She almost lost her balance .

“What’s with you?” She asked wide-eyed.

He was manhandling her again which she hated. She was sassy again when she remembered that she was supposed to be angry at him because of what she heard Vanessa telling him on the phone.

"Why the fuck were you flirting with that trash? We had an agreement dammit!" he said furiously.

She narrowed her eyes "Excuse me? It was you who first didn’t do your part! You called Vanessa this morning! I heard her talking to you!”

He cursed again then kicked his desk which made Heather stepped back in alarm.

"I didn’t call her! She called me and I told her that we are done!” He was almost gnashing his teeth in rage.

Heather bit her bottom lip. Oh dear! Vanessa tricked me! She thought.

She took a few steps backwards when Blake started to walk to her. He was moving as if he had all the time in the world. She could almost sense the vibration of his anger.

"So you flirted with Enzo because you thought I called Vanessa?” He asked with a dangerous tone.

“N-No...he was just helping…” She winced when he cursed .

“Well that is bullshit! I put up with all your rules last night though some of them are really fucking ridiculous! I have been sexually frustrated because of you! I tried to control myself and I have been patient with you but what I won’t have is you flirting right under my eye! You chose to do it in my gym?! Bullshit! “

He furiously took off his shirt as his angry eyes were on her.

"W-What are you doing?.." she asked nervously.

Now he was unzipping his pants.

"I will do what I should have done a long time ago," he said menacingly as he moved towards her.

"Take off your clothes!” He demanded.
