Bullied To Love novel Chapter 12

It has been two days since the whole late incident and office drama went down. So far, since I have been working here this has been the best two days. Enzo has not given me unnecessary work; he hardly looks for me. He sends his secretary to me if he needs anything instead of telling me himself. If you think of it maybe he is trying to avoid me after what happened in his office, but it’s not like I did it on purpose. It just happened that my top buttons were open and because I was kneeling he was getting ‘a front-row view’ of my cleavage. If he can’t deal with it, then that’s his business.

I have an appointment today with the doctor. We are going to talk about mama’s surgery payments since I have the money. The only problem is that the meeting is today. I don’t know if Enzo will allow me to go if I ask him for the rest of the day off. I could go without asking him because it’s actually around my lunchtime. But what if I am not done before lunchtime is over and Enzo notices my absence. ‘I am so dead’. I think its best I ask him for the day off. If he asks why I will tell him the reason, even though that is the last thing I want to do.

I walk to his office and knock on his door and wait for a response.

“Come in.”

“Good afternoon, sir,” I say, walking into his office.

He seems to be doing something on his laptop. He does not even look up to see who walked in. ‘What if I was here to kill him, what will he have done, ASSHOLE.’

“Sir, I came to ask you something.”

“Hmm,” he says still not looking up

‘He is really not going to look at me? Is it because he is ashamed to look at me after what happened the other day? Oh my God, I feel like a slut right now. Like all those women that throw themselves at their bosses. I have to explain to him that I am not that type of woman. I can’t have him having the wrong impression of me.’

“Sir, I came to ask if you could give me the rest of the day off?”

“Why do you need the rest of the day off, Miss Luciano?” he says, finally taking his eyes off his computer.

‘Finally, I can see those beautiful green eyes of his. What am I saying? That is not what I came here for; I need to focus.’

“Sir, I need to go to the hospital. I have an appointment with the doctor.”

“Miss Luciano are you sick?” he asks, suddenly looking concerned about me.

‘Which I find weird because the Enzo I know will never care about me; he is a devil with no heart.’

“No, sir, I am not. I am just going for a checkup, that’s all.” I say lying because I can’t have Enzo knowing mama is sick. To me him knowing does not feel right, so it’s better I lie to him.

“Oh, okay, then you can leave, but you have to be here first thing tomorrow morning to finish up the work for today.”

“Thank you so much, sir. I will be here first thing tomorrow morning,” I say and begin walking out when I remember, I have not cleared the air about me being a slut

“Sir, there is one more thing I would like to say.”

“I am listening.”

“I know you are avoiding me because you think I threw myself at you the other day. When I knelt down and begged for your forgiveness not to fire me. I did not know my buttons were open, and my uhm-hm-hmmm were displayed to you. I am sorry if I gave you the wrong impression of me. I did not mean to.” I say feeling much better to finally say that.

“I have known you almost all your life, and I can never have the wrong impression of you, so don’t worry about it. I know it was a coincidence that your buttons were open while you were kneeling” he says with a smirk on his face.

“Thank you, sir,” I say and walk out of his office.

I walk to mine to grab my handbag and be on my way to the hospital

I am sitting in the hospital waiting room for my turn to see the doctor who is in charge of mama’s surgery. I wait for at least 5 minutes before my turn comes.

I walk into the doctor’s office. He stands up to shake my hand before we both take our seats to discuss the next step.

“Hi, my name is Katherine Luciano. I was here about a month ago with a patient named Christine Luciano. She is my mother and the last time I was here you told me she has cancer. I have the money to pay for her surgery. I would like to know how soon the surgery can be done.”

“Miss Luciano, there won’t be any need for the surgery.”
