SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID novel Chapter 37

"Maybe I did something wrong" Hera voiced out to Mariam worriedly, she massaged her hands nervously with slightly furrowed brows.

"And what exactly did you do?" The older woman inquired expectantly. She had been with her ever since they got back from the game. Hera has been in a black mood and she didn't know how to console the little woman. She had wanted to sympathize with her but how could she do that when she doesn't even know what could've caused the problem in the first place.

All Hera did was sign occasionally and blame herself ever since she got back. She had refused to disclose what must've happened at the game.

Did they fight or was it worse than what she might be thinking?

"I won't know how to help you if I don't know what's wrong Hera." Mariam held her hands and squeezed gently "So if it's that big of a problem then you might want to tell me first. What's wrong?"

"I don't know..." She trailed off, her eyes downcast as she gazed at the floor instead of the woman's face. She was too embarrassed. Why was he mad at her? As far as she could remember, she didn't say or do anything wrong or did she?

"I think that Bryce is upset with me."

The older woman straightened herself to listen attentively "What do you mean by he's upset with you? Did you do something wrong?"

"That's what I don't know." She cried out in utter frustration. "The game went fine and his favourite team won the match so I don't understand why he suddenly snapped at me."

Mariam tilted her head as though she was lost in thoughts. Even she was confused so how was she going to help her out now.

"When did he start giving you the cold shoulder?"

Hera went silent for a while before responding "I remember that I had gone to use the bathroom after the game so I waited for him to come and pick me up but before then, I almost tripped and someone caught me from falling down and we chatted for a while. That's when Bryce came and his mood changed after that. He became upset and refused to talk to me till he dropped me off."

Mariam smiled. Her brain finally being able to process that the real issue was at the moment.

Her boss was jealous. If Hera was saying the truth which she knew it was because she doesn't lie then that's the only sensible explanation that she could come up with. He was jealous to the bone.

But could this be a bad or good thing?

"I think that he's just stressed out Hera. You don't have to beat yourself up about it. I thought that somehow bad must've happened but clearly that's not the case." Mariam stated and slowly patted Hera's shoulder to offer her comfort.

"I guess you're right ma'am. Bryce would never get angry at me intentionally. Maybe he's stressed out. I'll talk to him when he gets back." She muttered with a smile.

Mariam stared at her, wondering where this unlikely friendship will lead to. She could understand the plight of the little woman seated next to her. These emotions were all new territory for her but her boss on the hand had learned to exploit each and every one of them. Her only prayer is that he doesn't do the same to Hera cause she's too weak and fragile.

She might not be able to handle it well and it might lead to her getting hurt or heartbroken.

"I'll take my leave now ma'am. I still haven't changed out of my clothes yet." She told her with a placating smile that the older woman was forced to smile back at her.

"Alright then dear. You di that and make sure to rest too. It's been a long evening."

Hera flung herself into the woman's arms before leaving for her apartment.

When she got there, she decided to take a shower and clean herself up and she did exactly that. By the time she was done, it was already late into the night.

She put on her night dress and peeked through the curtains of her living room but his car hasn't pulled in yet.

Maybe he won't come back for the night. He might decide to sleep over at Max's place and come back in the morning.

Whatever happens, she'd make sure to speak with him and possibly apologize to him.

He had a towel tied around his waist while the other one massaged the water from his hair In an attempt to dry them out completely.

"I had no idea that you were in the bathroom" She muttered nervously "I guess that's why King stopped me from going in further" She thanked the animal in her hearts of hearts for not letting her make another big mistake.

Shoot!

The fact that she always came at the wrong time is another mystery that she needed to solve.

"Why are you here so late at night? You should be asleep." He asked and walked past her towards his closet. He opened it and rummaged through his clothes.

Hera tried to remain focused. She had come here with a mission after all.

She scratched her head to the point that he was forced to look at her.

"I wanted to apologize..." She trailed off while he just watched her without uttering a single word.

"Whatever about?" His voice clipped which indicated that he was still upset.

"Did I do something wrong?" She blurted out the words that she had been itching to ask.

Shutting the door to the closet, he stalked towards her and bridged the gap between them so that he towered over her. Her breath hitched. He was too close. To close that she could feel her heart racing.

"And what makes you think that you did?" He asked, his eyes peering deep down at her while she fumbled a response. Her brain came out blank as she struggled to find a suitable response to his question.
