sex-me boss.

Damon had a lot of catching up to do, but it wasn’t as difficult as all that because the person he’d left in charge had been able to keep things in perspective. He wanted to surprise his friend because, since he’d arrived in Texas, he hadn’t called her at all because of the multiple problems he’d had there; he had the impression that Stephanie had learned her lesson because she hadn’t tried any approach, and that was already a good thing.

James was working on his future project, a fashion show that was part of an international competition. He was having trouble concentrating because to say he wasn’t thinking about his beautiful Maggie would be a lie. he was thinking about her and wanted to see her all the same. he’d left her messages but she hadn’t replied and he was sure she’d seen. She was desperate to avoid him because of his reputation, which she already knew, but since he’d been seeing her, he hadn’t the slightest desire to set eyes on another woman, remake or natural. this was the only one he wanted to see from now on. when he heard a knock on his office door, he asked who it was and was very surprised to see Betty. she’d been missing for a while and he hadn’t expected to see her there.

-Hello James, how are you?

-I’m not going to ask you who let you in, because I know what a pest you’ve become, but what are you doing here? And as you can see, I’m very busy, so please hurry.

-You’ve never talked to me like this James, you’ve always said I was your protege, so what’s got into you now? why are you being so mean to me?This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Would you like me to remind you of your crimes, Betty? You attacked my best friend. You should understand that before you came to this club, Damon was a long-time friend and I’d never sacrifice our friendship for a girl like you who has no goals in life. I wanted to support you, I wanted to help you find your way, but from what I understood, you weren’t ready to be in charge and I can’t run after you, so if that’s all you came to tell me, the door’s right behind you.

She couldn’t believe that it was really James who was kicking her out. She’d thought that since the situation had calmed down a bit, he’d support her, but instead he was telling her to go away, even if he was very lenient, and what would become of her? it hadn’t been easy for her to hide after what she’d done to Damon and Olivia.

-James, you can’t do this to me. You promised you’d always help me, and now I need your help with my career, do you understand that? I need you to be there for me.

-stop right there betty. what would you have done in olivia’s place if someone had made such a revelation about your intimate life? stop playing the victim because you’re not the victim, you’re the culprit. i’m not the one you can continue your career with, so good luck with that.

-no, you can’t, you’re the one who saw the talent in me and now that I feel ready, you want to let me down? you can’t do that and you know it, don’t you?

-If you’re not gone in two minutes, I’ll call security.

she could see he was serious and she couldn’t allow security to throw her out, so she walked out and slammed the door. James would have been kind enough to take her back, but the fact that he was already seeing Maggie changed everything, because with that Betty around, he wouldn’t be reassured anymore. without doing two minutes, he heard another knock on his office door.

-I told you I can’t do anything for you, so go away and forget about this box once and for all,” shouted James with his back turned.

He heard the door open but was too angry to turn around or he’d strangle her for what she was doing. He didn’t like the silence at all, but if she didn’t want to talk, then it was better she stayed like that until she left.

-You could have told me the truth and I’d never have bothered you again,” Damon had said with a mocking smile.

James turned at the sound of this voice and saw his best friend standing in front of him. He’d never thought he’d see Damon Dixon in his office so soon, just as he was leaving for two weeks.

Another one-night stand who won’t let you go, then?

-It could have been easier if that’s what it was, but this time it was Betty’s daughter, can you believe it? there she was, telling me she wanted my help with her career. can you believe that the moment I ran after her for it, she didn’t want to, but when I had something better to do, she came back as if my whole life had been spent waiting for her.

-James you have a good heart and I know you could have helped her even after what she did because I really saw how much you considered this little one your sister but tell me, what else happened?

-I wouldn’t want her near me because I think Maggie’s already there and you know how it ended with Olivia, she might try the same thing and I wouldn’t want that.

-How many nights did you spend in a cell before you were able to convince her that you loved her, and how did she come to believe you?

-You sound like a girl,” James huffed.

Damon shrugged, looking at his friend. He’d fallen into the same trap as he had, loving this girl the way he’d loved Olivia Turner and the way he’d loved his bankroll more than anything.

-You weren’t supposed to spend New Year’s Eve with your mother.

-Long story and I don’t even want to talk about it. -Tell me, I’d like you to spend New Year’s with us at home and I don’t want no.

-I was thinking of inviting Maggie to celebrate with me.

-I didn’t know you were so careless. The only reason I’m inviting you is because I know Olivia has already invited your dearest Maggie and I know she can’t turn down her best friend’s invitation because they always spend it together, so to spare you the deadly loneliness, I’m inviting you home.

James thought he was right. He hadn’t yet put a name to his relationship with Maggie, and if she’d received Olivia’s invitation, she’d certainly have decided to go, but what about him? This was the perfect opportunity to talk to her about what was going on between them.
