Billionaire, Let's Divorce! novel Chapter 412

DENNIS

My predicament was ridiculous. Anyone who hears of this would laugh in my face. I was avoiding my own employee. I had been doing so since that unfortunate day. And the avoidance didn't begin at work. I started by refusing to go for my baths on my scheduled days.

And on days when avoidance seems impossible, I snap at her and seriously scold her over insignificant things.

The usual bubbly mood at this branch of my bar was now tense as no one wanted to evoke the boss’ wrath. They all practically walked on eggshells around me, waiting for that moment when I'll leave for the day.

I wasn't sure if I did all of these because I was scared that I'd fall into her trap again or because I was just embarrassed. Maybe it was both. Plus the realization that my self control wasn't as rigid as I had always thought it was was a slap in the face.

As I skimmed through the rules of the newest contract I was about to sign with a gymnasium, I heard a soft knock on the door.

“Come in,“ I said absentmindedly. It must be the manager, I thought as I'd asked him to come when he was done.

“Good day, sir.“

My head snapped up and all of my guards rose when I heard that voice.

“What do you want?“ I blurted heatedly.

She regarded me for a long while then she sighed, throwing her hands in the air. “What's happening?“

“What do you mean what's happening? That didn't answer my question, why are you here?“ I frowned, eyeing her overly tight uniform. Now that I think about it, her uniform has always been this tight and short and I vaguely remember how this always got her the attention of the men that frequented this bar, especially at night. Was that her aim? Or has she always wanted to seduce me?

“Answers, Dennis. Answers are what I want and it's why I'm here. I need answers!“ She said earnestly, seeming almost frustrated.

I scoffed at how she addressed me. “I'm still your boss. You work under me and I pay you. Accord me the respect I deserve.“

She rolled her eyes. “Stop deflecting from what's on ground. It's not working. Stop hiding your feelings from me.“

I actually guffawed at her last sentence. “Did you just say feelings?“ I said amidst chuckles before I threw my head back and laughed hard.

When I looked back before me, sobering up, I was shocked to see Tabitha perched on the desk just beside my seat.

“I know you want me,“ she said with a smug smile.

I watched incredulously as she undid the top buttons of her shirt, revealing a good amount of the raised flesh on her chest. Then she lowered her head and tried to bring her lips to my face.
