Chapter 23"Boss... You are here?" James, a young man in his early forties quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Mr. Mario. Miles stared at James, and he had to admit that he was better looking than he was in the photo that was sent to him although not that handsome, and not that he was concerned about that. James was a 5'8ft tall man with a masculine body, raven curly hair, a pair of blue dangerous eyes, a pointed nose, and a round face. Not that he was so handsome, he just looked better than the picture that was sent to him earlier."Hmm," Mr. Mario just nodded and proceeded toward the empty space remaining in the room with Miles trailing beside him."It's nice to meet you again, Mr. Mario. I've been waiting for you for hours," A man in his late forties said to Mario with a smile displayed on his lips."Hmm. I'm here now," Mario replied to him as he sat on the chair that was reserved for him."Who is this? Did you hire a new errand boy?" James asked after he gave Miles
Chapter 24Miles took the glass close to his mouth but paused abruptly and closed his eyes. All eyes fell on him as they awaited the stunt he was about to pull since it seemed like the ones he had been pulling were not enough yet."I changed my mind. The water is not chilled enough," Miles uttered as he dropped the glass cup on the table, and James clenched his fingers tightly as waves of anger spurred through him. For a moment, he felt like strangling Miles, but who was he to act in front of Mr. Mario when it already seemed like he was on Miles's side?"Why is the atmosphere so tense?" Miles asked out of the blue moon as he looked around even though he knew why the sudden tension. "Why don't you make it lively? You've not introduced yourself to us yet. We could discuss afterward," The man from earlier who had come for a business meeting with Mr. Mario spoke up. No matter the angle he looked at this from, there seemed to be something hidden. He was sure that Miles might be someone im
Chapter 25Ashley paced restlessly in the living room while holding her phone to her ear. She had been calling Miles for hours, but his number wasn't going through, and she was starting to freak out. Even though she wanted to stay calm and conclude that he would be back, she couldn't still help the part of her that was worried that something might've happened to him out there."Ugh!" She groaned frustratingly as she sank into the couch and sank her fingers into her hair."Wait! Why am I worried about him?" She stopped and asked herself."Come on, Ashley. You are a human and a nice girl, so you should be worried if your housemate is not at home yet," Her subconscious mind reminded her, and she breathed out briefly."Ugh! Miles is really driving me nuts at this point," She groaned and cringed angrily. Ashley glanced checked her phone screen a few minutes later, and saw that it was already past 11pm."You should go to sleep, Ashley. You have class tomorrow," She reminded herself, but sh
Chapter 26The next morningAshley tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time before she finally sat up and ran her fingers through her hair."Why did I do that?" Recalling everything that happened last night, Ashley couldn't help but blame herself for being like that. How did she suddenly become so weak around him that she nearly fell for him? The thought of what would've happened if she hadn't stopped him last night made her cringe. She would've spent the rest of her life regretting it.Brushing all the thoughts to the back of her mind, Ashley stood up from the bed and dragged herself into the bathroom. After her usual morning routine, she got ready for class and left her room. Her heart skipped a beat when she stepped out of her room and ran into Miles. She quickly turned her face away and hastened her steps toward the exit door."Ashley... Ashley," Miles called after her as he walked after her, but she didn't stop to look at him until they were out of the dormitory."What is it, Mi
Chapter 27"We are here," The cabby's voice announced as he pulled over in front of Miles's school. "Thank you," Miles muttered after he paid the man, then alighted from the car and proceeded into the school building.With his hands holding his cross bag which was hung across his body, Miles strode down the walkway that led to his class."He's here,""Miles is here," It suddenly felt as though he had turned into a celebrity as everywhere went silent as soon as he stepped inside the class. He paused and briefly sighed. For a moment, he thought of clearing the air about what happened the other day, but on second thought, Miles felt that it wasn't necessary.As he walked toward his seat, he spotted Jess sitting with Leo, both glaring at him murderously, but he could only care less as they were the least of his problems at that moment. He ignored them and went to take his seat.A few minutes passed before Ms. Kendra, their professor walked inside the class. She was looking as pretty as a
Chapter 28Ms. Kendra checked her wristwatch for the umpteenth time while wondering why Miles was taking almost forever to show up."I'm getting restless," She sank her fingers into her hair and raked it slowly before packing it in a ponytail with a band holding it tightly together.A knock sounded on her door, and she quickly stood up and adjusted herself. "Am I good?" She muttered as she grabbed her phone from the desk and checked her reflection on the dark screen of the phone."I think I'm good," She muttered and breathed in and out before she finally ushered him in.Ms. Kendra's heart flustered when Miles finally walked in, and she felt her pussy already craving her as it twitched excitedly. Miles had been her student for some time now, and all that time she had been nurturing feelings for him. She had tried severally to rebuke the feeling, telling herself that it was wrong because this young man was her student even though he was in every way her kind of man, but he had been so
Chapter 29Miles stood at the side of the road, waiting to haul down a cab. The incident from earlier flashed through his mind, and he scoffed. What if he had fallen for that? He would've fucked her right there in her office? Damn! That was one crazy shit ever.Miles was still trying to get a cab when a familiar black car pulled over in front of him, and he sighed frustratingly as he already recognized who the owner of the car was. It was James again. James stepped out of the car and walked over to him with a pretentious smile on his lips."You shouldn't be standing under the sun. It's going to be difficult to get a cab here. Why don't you hop in so I can drop you off wherever you are going," James uttered politely. "And I'm not going to change my mind. I won't help you plead with Mr. Mario, so stop showing your face to me. I'm going to call the cops on you if you keep being stubborn," Miles stated bluntly and walked away from him."Come on, Mr. Miles. You shouldn't be like this. My
Chapter 30Miles paused when he walked inside the living room of their apartment and found a young man seated on their chair. "Who are you?" He asked coldly as he gazed at the young man, and just then, Ashley walked into the living room from the kitchen."Oh, Miles? You are here?" Ashley tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled briefly at Miles like nothing was happening."Who is this, Ashley?" Miles asked, referring to the young man."Oh... That's Henry, my friend. Where are you coming from? Don't tell me you went shopping," Ashley beamed with smiles as she walked over to Miles to take the shopping bags from him, but he stepped away, his face filled with fury. For a moment, Miles was confused as to why he was being consumed by anger, why he was burning inside, and why he was jealous that someone came to see Ashley. Nothing was making sense to him. Besides, they were not even dating, so why was he feeling this way?"Hmm. I will drop these in the kitchen," Miles glared hard at the ma
