Chapter 46

Chapter 46 BLAIRE “What the fck is wrong with you?” I yelled at him.

He raised his eyebrow as he leaned against his black swivel chair. “May I remind you that you’re here to win my favor? Shouting at your boss isn’t the right way to do that,” he said.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down. I close my eyes, trying to think of the one reason I needed to do this job despite the presence of the demon that I was trying so hard to forget. When I was finally even breathing. I slowly opened my eyes, only to find Sebastian looking intently at me as he was about to devour me.

I let out a loud sigh before I uttered my next words. “What do you want?”

He co cked his head on the side as if assessing how far I was willing to go for this job. To be honest, I’m going as far as making a deal with the deal himself just so I can save my son I feel all the hair on my b*dy raise as I remember my son. Now that our worlds have collided once again. I’m not sure how long it will take before he knows about my secret.

“What are you willing to give?” He returned the question “Cakes,” I answered briefly.

“What?” he asked. It was then followed by a rich laugh that filled every corner of his office. “Oh, I thought we’re talking about something else,” he said with a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

I bit my tongue, stopping myself from unleashing my smart mouth like I always did. Despite our history. I’m already in a position where I’m at his mercy. I need to do this to save my son. Even so, it means that I need to endure working with the same man who broke my heart.

“Yes, Mr. Foster. We’re talking about cakes and dessert, which is the main reason why I am here. Now, I believe there’s something about what I prepared that isn’t to your liking. So, please, humble me with your knowledge and tell me what you want.” I was quite surprised with myself upon finishing those sentences while I was under his scrutinizing eyes., “I think Isabelle overpraises you. There’s nothing special about your cakes. I don’t think I would expect anything more from you at this point. You’re dismissed,” he said.

I feel like my world is collapsing right before my eyes. This can’t be happening. He can’t 46 09:13 Mon, 22 Jan Chapter 46 do this. I need this. “N-No, no, no. Please don’t do this. I need this job,” I insisted.

“Then, strip.”

My jaw fell off the ground upon hearing what he said. “E-Excuse me?” I said, hoping that I just misheard him.

“Did 1 stutter? Or you’re just pretending you didn’t hear what I said?” he asked, raising his eyebrows as he smirked, watching my discomfort.

“No, you’re right. I hear you perfectly clear.” I walked closer to his table and leaned against him in a challenging manner. “I may be desperate, but I guess I’m not desperate enough to sell my dignity to a monster like you. Goodbye, Mr. Foster. It wasn’t nice to see you gain. I hope our paths won’t cross again.” I said before turning around. As I walked towards the door, I heard his deep, baritone voice once again.

“You’d rather sleep with a man you just met than share a night with your ex-husband for old-time sake? That’s totally contradicting someone who’s talking about dignity a while ago,” he insulted.

“Think whatever you want, but I’m leaving. Goodbye, Mr. Foster, I said before storming out of the room. I saw Isabelle’s face covered in confusion as she watched me walk chut of the CEO’s office. My doubts that she had something to do with this coincidence flew over the window when I noticed that she didn’t have any idea what was going on between me and Sebastian.

It was so foolish of me to think that Sebastian planned all of these just to trap me back in his cage. But then again, I realize he had no reason to do so. He got what he wanted from the beginning-to be in Catherine’s arms.

There haven’t been a lot of people around the hotel since it hasn’t opened to the public. I didn’t notice that I had been holding back my breath until I finally reached the elevator. I breathe out a sigh of relief once it’s closed, and at last, I’m free from his grasp.

Once I reached the ground floor, the realization of my situation hit me. My problem about my son’s surgery still lingers, and the fact that I haven’t thought of my next step my son remains unresolved.

to sa I was approaching the exit when my phone rang. I took a loud breath upon reading the name that’s flashing on my screen. “Hey, Ethan. Is everything alright?” I greeted.

“Everything is fine, Blaire. How about you? How’s the meeting going?” he inquired.

I couldn’t answer immediately. Instead, I remained silent for a minute. I was trying to contemplate whether I should go back and leave this nightmare behind or make it work, regardless of the fact that I need to see that evil man’s face every day.

Chapter 46 In the end, I decided not to tell Ethan every detail of what happened here. “I’m afraid we didn’t get the project,” I informed him.

“Does that mean we can push through with Blaze’s surgery?”

I let out a loud sigh. Tm afraid so. But I’ll try to make my trip worthwhile. I’m not going home until I have the money for his surgery.”

“I believe you would, Blaire. But please be careful, okay?”

“I will,” I answered.

“By the way, I just called because Blaze wouldn’t take his medicine until he talked to you,” he said.

“Please, hand over the phone to him.”

“Sure.”

“Hi, mom,” Blaze said with a h o ar se voice. He sounded weaker the last time I saw him.

“Hi, love. Is everything okay?”

“When are you coming home, mommy? I missed you so much.”

“I miss you too, love. But I still have a little work to do here. I’ll come home once I’m finished. For the meantime, please don’t be stubborn and take your medicine.”

“Yes, mommy.”

“That’s great. I love you, honey. See you soon.

“I love you, mom.” After that, he quickly ended the call.

I can’t help but smile at myself after talking to my son. I put my phone back in my pocket and made my way to the exit. But I was completely taken aback when a manly figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

“Jesus!” I was startled. I frowned when I noticed the dark aura emitting from Sebastian’s b*dy. He was glaring at me like a hawk to its prey. It looks like he was about to pounce on me at any moment.

“I’m offering you ten million dollars to be my mistress for three months. Here’s my room number and key card. Come to me if you change your mind,” he said as he handed me his key card.

I was about to open my mouth, but he quickly turned his back on me and didn’t wait for my answer. I was left alone, standing in the middle of the lobby while staring at the key card in my hand.

“Ten million dollars. I murmured to myself. That’s more than enough to save my son. Once again, I caught myself in between choosing to do the right thing or doing what’s. best for my son But regardless of whatever I choose in the end, I’m pretty sure that I will eventually have to lose myself in order to do what’s best for my child.
