His Lovely Obsession novel Chapter 54

(Stacey)

With her hand on her mouth, she hurriedly stepped back away from them. Nick dragged Jim by the collar and slammed his back on the wall near the female's restroom. He punched the latter's face several times while repeatedly cursing.

"N-Nick!" Jim protested while trying to cover his face.

She called Nick's name but he kept on smacking his friend's face.

"Sir!" Cherry called out .

Heather is behind her with her eyes wide while witnessing what's happening. Stacey has her hand on her chest. Her heart is thumping. She weakly leaned her back on the wall. This is the first time she saw how violent Nick can be when provoked.

(Nick)

He stopped punching Jim's face which is covered with blood but he encircled his throat with his right hand.

"Next time you go near her or worst lay a finger on her, I will fucking throttle you after I beat you!" He threatened. His voice sounds really menacing.

He punched him one more time on the abdomen before shoving him to the ground. He then turned around and his eyes searched for Stacey who looks scared to death in one corner with her back on the wall. He silently cursed while walking to her. She is still in shock and she didn't even react when he held her hand to bring her to his office.

"Lovey!" came Heather's voice.

"Sir!" Cherry called.

He looked sharply at them as if saying not to meddle.

"Call the company doctor to tend to that bastard!" he said to his secretary.

"Lovey.." Heather began to say something but he cut her short.

" Go home!" he said curtly before heading to his office while pulling Stacey with him.

Once inside his office, he locked the door. He cupped Stacey's face.She still looks a little pale.

"Honey? Are you okay?"he asked worriedly.

Her hands went up to the back of Nick's which are on either side of her face.

"I-I'm f-fine.." She said in a small voice. It sounded shaky.

"I'm sorry that you have to see all that. That bastard will never be in the same room with you! I will make sure that he won't come near you! " he said before pulling out his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her lips firmly but gently.

She just stood there as she stares at his tie. She is avoiding looking at his handsome face because she feels that he is absolutely seething. He just probably doesn't want to scare her more so he is trying hard not to show his emotion.

After wiping her lips, he pulled her towards him. He hugged her while his lips kissed her forehead. Still no reaction from her. She just let him hold her while her hands are on her side.What Jim said kept on playing inside her head.

"I am sure that just like old times, after he got tired of you, he will let me have you. "

"Let go!" With all her force she pushed Nick from her.

"Honey? What's wrong? " He asked and his eyes are full of questions.

"Don't honey me! Will you just stop it?! Stop all this! I don't want to be your girlfriend ever!"

She feels sorry for herself. She is angry, hurt and she wants to hit him but she just turned her back on him. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed.

"Don't you dare touch me!" she angrily said when she felt his hand on her back.

She quickly walked to her desk to sit down and cry. She wants to be far away from him as possible. She hates him. What Jim said really hurts. At the back of her mind and somewhere in her heart, though she hates to admit it, she was hoping that she was different for him.
