More Than Lust novel Chapter 18

Grace's pov

"So, Grace tell me about you something..."

She said like she is taking my interview.

Oh god! Who is she? Why she is making me so nervous?

"Where are you from?... Where do you live?"

She asked looking at me curiously.

"I am American... I shifted to Italy 5 years ago... I live with my father... Anthony street"

I replied.

She nodded and hummed.

"You look quite young, are you intern or something like that?"

"No"

I shook my head.

"I have completed my studies... I am 25 years old. I have baby face."

"You are beautiful"

She smiled at me and i blushed. She herself is looking like a goddess, i am nothing in front of her.

I shyly touched my hair and her eyes landed on my wrist. I quickly put my hand down and hide it with sleeves, she saw my bruises.

She mumbled something in foreign language, i didn't understand, it wasn't Italian at least I can tell the difference.

Her eyes visibly frowned but she quickly changed her expressions.

"Your scarf is beautiful... Actually I was looking for something like this... Can I see it?"

She said and touched my scarf which is around my neck.

"Ma'am I___"

Before i speak she removed my scarf, i quickly hide my neck with my hair but i think she saw everything.

She sighed.

"It's cute..."

She forced a smile and i offered awkward smile.

"So looks like you have someone in your life... Don't mind me, i get curious sometimes."

She doesn't look like someone who gets excited for things like this.

How do I answer her questions?

"It's complicated... Can't say anything"

I trailed off.

"How long you are working for Him?"

She asked leaning back in her chair.

"Almost four months"

I replied.

"Good, i heard he is not good with his employees... How did you managed to survive?"

She raised her eyebrows.

To be honest I myself have no idea. I thought he will kick me out in few days as I wasn't responding to his touches, i have never seduced him neither I have initiated anything. Why he kept me?

"I don't know ma'am... May be he liked my work..."

I am talking about accountancy. 

"I can see that"

She has mocking tone.

"I mean you are sweet..."

She smiled.

"It's hot in here"

She huffed and took of her jacket.

Oh my god! She is fool of tattoos. Wow! I always wanted to have one but dad never let me do it. He was scared that I will get infection. I don't know why but i am specially attracted towards the tattooed people, chief also has many tattoos. It's a different thing that i don't understand the meaning of any of that but they are beautiful.

She has very beautiful tattoos. Angel of peace, Roses and what not. One of it is very beautiful and aesthetic, i couldn't understand what is it but it looks like some goddess.

"Wow! Your tattoos are very beautiful... Can I see it."

I said excitingly.

She smiled at me.

"Of course... Do You like tattoos?..."

She asked.

"Yes, i love it but my dad never allowed. There are so many misconceptions about it so he was reluctant... And i heard it hurts"

I pouted.

"What is this?... It's beautiful"

"It's a god of art, Natraaj..."

She replied.

"You should try, it doesn't hurt that much... Until and unless you are doing it on scars."

"I will definitely try"

I said excitingly.

I looked at her and she was looking at me with unknown gaze, i don't know what she is thinking but this look doesn't giving me uncomfortable vibe. She has kind of admiration type of look. 

"Grace, how did you managed to get in here?"

She asked in daze and i looked at her confused.

"I mean, through interview or something else... Like promotion or something?"

"I_Interview"

I mumbled trying to steal my gaze. I can't explain her how did I get here.

She nodded and looked away.

"Are you permanent here?"

She asked.
