The Proud Boss Lady. novel Chapter 15

Soraya strutted into Zed's coffee shop amazed at how well he had done for himself.

“Ma'am, what can I get you?" The waitress asked.

“Um, can I see your boss?" She asked taking off her sunglasses.

“Sure." She said as she entered his office to call him.

Zed stopped in his tracks when he saw Soraya. She looked prettier than when he last saw her.

“I see you've done good for yourself." She chuckled.

“Yeah, I have and it's doing really well, I am about to open another one soon." He rolled his eyeballs at her.

“By the way, what do you want here?" He fumed recalling what she had done to him.

“I er, just came around." She tried apologizing.

“What a pathetic excuse for an apology, since you just came around, I have work to do so you can see yourself out of the office if you don't mind." He said to her as she walked towards him and sat on his lap placing her finger on his lips.

She leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips, as much as he wanted to push her away, he had missed her touch and her body. He carried her to the room that was connected to his office. It wasn't give but it looked nice and well-kept.

“I missed you." He said to her.

“Then come to mama." She gestured as he locked the door and moved closer to her like a predator ready to pounce on prey.

And that is how you lure a man. Soraya laughed in her mind. She only came to him because she missed sex with him and nothing else. Seeing how weak and easy he was, this was going to be a regular routine.

What have I done to myself? Zed asked himself.

Maybe she's come to realise her love for me. He thought aloud.

“Who has come to realise her love for you?" Freya walked in. She was all in smiles thinking it was her.

“Soraya." He said lifting his head up to meet Freya's eyes.

“H-how?" She asked trying to hide her hurt.

“She was here and we made love, I told you she would come back once she realises her feelings for me." He grinned.

“After all she did to you, you still accepted her?" Freya burst out.

“Woah, take a chill pill, Freya, you're supposed to be happy for me." He said.

“Happy? Happy you say? I watched you go through pain after she kicked you out, I was there for you all through, I tried not to let my feelings for your show because I wanted you to heal before I told you how I felt all this while. And no, I didn't help you because I wanted you myself. I did so because you are my friend and a good man. But, I wish you luck in your reconciliation with Soraya. Don't hesitate to call me up if you need anything at all. I am just one call away." She smiled through her tears as she picked her bag and stormed out.

“Freya, wait!" He called after her following her out. But it was too late, she had left.

“S-she loved me?" He asked himself as he entered his office.

Why hadn't she said anything about it?

It wouldn't have changed anything. He pondered to himself.

“Hello," Jess said sitting beside Freya at the park.

“Hi." She wiped her tears away.

“Sorry to pry, but I was wondering why--"
