SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID novel Chapter 48

One week.

It had been exactly one week since Hera set her eyes on her boss after their fallout. She had always tried her very best to avoid him as best as she could.

In the mornings, she would do her job as soon as he leaves for work and makes sure to get dinner ready before he gets back home from work.

Her routine had been like that and she was certain that she wouldn't be changing it anytime soon. The more space she gives, the better.

"Are you finally ready to talk about it?" Mariam had asked that evening when they were both together in the kitchen prepping for dinner.

Ever since it happened, she had remained quiet and had refused to say anything to Mariam. She didn't think it was important to let the old lady know what was going on.

Plus, it wasn't a subject that she was proud of speaking about so what's the point of doing so?

"Hera" Mariam coaxed when she didn't respond to her question "What happened?"

Hera shook her head negatively "Nothing happened Ma'am. What makes you think that something happened?" She retorted.

Mariam threw the knife that she was holding on the counter "I'm not a fool Hera. I know that something happened between you two and you being silent and avoiding the question, proves it already."

Hera sighed deeply "The only reason why I'm being silent is because it's not that important. There's nothing to talk about." she said in her defense.

"Did he do something wrong?" Mariam asked straight out of the blue. "He did right?"

"It doesn't matter ma'am. You don't have to worry about anything." Hera assured her with a placating smile.

"Last night..." Mariam began, forcing Hera to stop abruptly and listen to what the woman had to say "I heard when Max came in to call you and I was awake when the both of you came back home with Bryce and I noticed after that day that the two of you barely speak to each other and you have been avoiding him as well."

"So tell me Hera, am I imagining things now or did it really happen? And don't try to tell me that I don't have to worry about anything because I do." She added.

"Bryce...I mean Sir has a lot of problems and I don't want to be caught up in the middle of them." She explained.

"What kind of problems?" She pressed.

"He...um...he" she stammered, her words failing her.

"Did he do something inappropriate to you?"

Hera thought about the question for a while. If she should tell Mariam that he almost overpowered her last night, it would make him look bad and besides he had already apologized to her because he wasn't in the right frame of mind so there's no point in saying anything.

"No Mariam." She answered sharply "He didn't do anything that was inappropriate with me."

"That's a relief" Mariam touched the part of her chest where her heart was located "Then why are you upset with him?"

"I'll let you know when I'm ready ma'am. I don't want to talk about it now."

She nodded her head "Okay."

Hera finished helping with dinner and went back to her apartment. She knew that Bryce would be coming back soon and didn't want to run into him by chance. Hiding saved her from a lot of unwanted heartaches. She wouldn't deny the fact that she missed him a lot. These past few days had been hell. Not to mention that Martha had taken it upon herself to constantly ask about him each time she called. She wanted to know if he would still be attending the Thanksgiving service. Hera had given her a befitting reply though but she wondered how long it would take Martha to figure out her current situation.

She was like an open book to them. Either ways, she would cross that bridge when she gets to it.

Tired, she decided to take her shower and the minute she stepped out of the bathroom, she was welcomed by her ringing cellphone.
