SEX WITH THE VIRGIN MAID novel Chapter 74

Bryce was all smiles as he made his way over to work later in the day. He wanted nothing more than to stay indoors with Hera all through the day but sadly, he got an urgent call from his office concerning an important work that needed his attention.

At first he didn't want to but Hera had forced him, pleaded with him to go ahead and handle it but he had promised to get back home as soon as he could. He was only here for formality sake and because he wanted to respect her wishes. She'd get upset with him if he didn't and for the life in him, he didn't want that. The last thing he wanted to do was getting on her bad side.

Doris helped to set up everything he needed for the day's work and he couldn't wait to finish up on time so that he could go back home to Hera as quickly as possible.

"Would you like me to get you anything sir?" Doris had asked after setting up everything that he needed to continue.

He waved her off. "No. You can go and don't let anyone in until i ask you too. I want to be left alone for now."

"Sure thing boss!" She replied before shutting the door behind her as she made her way back to her position.

Bryce picked up his cellphone to scroll through some pictures of Hera. The ones he had taken of her earlier today before he left the house.

Damn! He was only away for a few hours but he already misses her terribly. Maybe love wasn't such a bad thing after all. Maybe it was finally time for him to let himself cave and let go of his fear from the past. Maybe it was time to move on. He just had to admit it and the rest would finally be history.

"Ma'am you can't go in there." Bryce overhead the persistent and loud voice of Doris just outside his office. "My boss is busy and you can't—"

The door forcefully pushed open and Nella walked in with Doris behind her. The latter had an apologetic look on her face as if to tell me that she didn't mean for her to barge into my office unannounced.

"I'm sorry sir. I tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen and—"

He raised a hand at her and she stopped talking almost immediately. "It's alright Doris. You can go, I'll handle it from here."

She nodded in relief and strutted out of the office, gently shutting the door behind her. Bryce knew that one day, something would like this would happen but he wasn't expecting it to be today. He just wasn't ready and cut out for facing her today. He waited for her to say something, anything at all but she didn't so he decided to break the silence himself.

Resting his hands on his chin, he discarded his work and faced her. "Why are you here Nella?"

"I think the right question should be, why is your secretary stopping me from coming into your office?" She asked, voice laced in contempt. "I've always come unannounced and not once have you sent me away so why would she try to stop me? Did you instruct her to?"

"I instructed her not to let anyone in because i don't want to be disturbed so it's not just you." He answered casually. "Now, why are you here in my office?"

Nella noted the shift in his voice. It was completely different from what she was used to. If anything, Bryce never spoke to her in this manner. There was something different about him but she just didn't want to believe what her gut was telling her so she brushed it off. "Why else would i be here Bryce?" She retorted.

He ran his hands over his face tiredly. "You shouldn't have come here Nella. You should've at least called to let me know that you were stopping by before barging into my office like this?"

"I should have called?!" She yelled at me and threw her bag on the nearest couch angrily. "Well Bryce, I've been doing that for the past three weeks. I've been calling and texting non-stop. I've been trying my very best to check up on you but it feels as if you were deliberately ignoring all my attempts to reach out to you!"

"So why don't you go ahead and tell me why you've been ignoring me all these days." She folded her hands across her chest. "Go on. Tell me what you've been up to that's so important to the point where i don't matter anymore."
