Chapter 230 – Sell Yourself

“Anyway, keep the phone. It will help you connect with Zane,” he said in a bit of a sad tone.

The silence remained between us for a few seconds, during which we only heard each other’s restless breaths.

“I will go now. I have to take orders,” I excused softly and hung up on him. I didn’t enjoy treating him this way, but his constant denial of letting me see Helel had irked me.

The rest of the day was tiring. I finally called Zane to tell him I wouldn’t be able to meet him today, but now we were arguing about even more stuff.

“So, Akin gave you this phone?” he asked. I could hear a little complaint in his tone. But I understood why he was feeling this way.

“Yeah! He wanted to make sure I was settling well in my new home. But I told him now I have you, so he doesn’t have to worry about me,” I comforted him, and in response, he wheezed.

“I was going to gift you one. Why did Akin give you a phone?” he asked, still sounding very upset.

“I told you already, Zane.” I answered, “Okay, listen, I called you to let you know I am unable to come meet you today. I’m so sorry but the workload is heavy today,” I excused, not wanting to tell him anything about Pamela being difficult. I didn’t want to use Zane and his status to bend the rules of my workplace. Since Maura and Pamela would stay here for lunch, I decided to do that too.

“Ugh! Do you want me to come and help you?” As he asked, I couldn’t help but let out a little laugh. “I’m not joking. I can work,” he sounded playfully offended. “Really? Do tell me what work you can do,” I shrugged, my lip curling upward to form a teasing smile.

“I can give a shower to the dishes,” he answered very sweetly. I bet he pouted, too.

“Or we can—,” he continued to talk, but I knew where he was going with his comment.

“No! thank you. I can shower myself.” I instantly shut him down with a playful grunt.

Maura walked into the kitchen with the dirty plates and passed me a smile. “Talking to your boyfriend?” she teased, making me blush even harder. “Anyway, thank you for informing me. I would have been waiting the whole day if I hadn’t heard from you. I’ll go now. Take care, okay?” Zane almost instantly wanted to end the call, but I don’t blame him. He has a lot of work to do. “Okay! Take care,” I said and heard him hang up first.
