Chapter 22 Friends With Benefits
The next morning, Bryce sat down next to the balcony of the huge bedroom and threw his face outside the window.
He occasionally threw glances at the naked lady sleeping peacefully on his bed. He had the strangest urge to wake her up but who was he kidding, he did a number on her anyways so it’s only fair that she’s still asleep.
Soon enough, he heard her mumble and her eyes fluttered open to take in her current environment.
Fear and terror blanketed her face but she quickly became calm when her eyes found Bryce seated at the far end of the bedroom.
He was fully naked and didn’t bother to cover up.
His lips stretched into a full blown smile and she was forced to smile back at him.
Her body ached down there but she wasn’t in the least complaining about it.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Without bothering to cover up, she stood up from the huge master’s bed and and rounded the bed to where he was seated.
She placed her legs on both side if his thigh and straddled against him.
Bryce didn’t move or say a word.
Who was he to complain after all?
“Aren’t you supposed to yell or shout at me?” He asked when she didn’t say anything but only straddled on his thighs with a solemn look on her face.
“I want to but then I also wanted to say thank you.” She blurted out, shocking him.
“Why?” He asked, brows knitted together in ardent confusion.
“I broke up with my boyfriend.” She sighed heavily “The only reason why I agreed to go to the club was because I needed a distraction. I wanted to take my mind off things. And then you came along and made my job a whole lot easier.”
A small smile broke out on his lips.
“So in order words, you needed me?” He grimaced, not breaking eye contact.
“I was probably going to fuck some random dude but you were alright. It was better than any options I’ll ever have.” She brushed his damp hair with her fingers and shifted closer so that her breast was plastered on his chest.
“Where are you going with this?”
Bryce watched her inch closer to him “Let’s make a truce shall we?”
“About?” He asked with furrowed brows.
“How about we become friends with benefits. I want to forget about my shitty past and you’ll have me to your beck and call. It’s a win win for both of us.” She suggested.
He laughed “Listen, you don’t get to call the shots mi amor. What we had yesterday was purely just sex–”
“And I’m not asking for more.” She cut him short “I just want something to hold onto when I’m feeling bored and seeing the way I reacted to your touch, you’re a better candidate for the job.”
Bryce thought for a while. She was right. It was a win win situation but what she didn’t know was that he was going to be the biggest winner here.
“Alright then.” He agreed at last “I really don’t mind at all.”
She dipped down her head and kissed him on the lips.
“Now let’s get started shall we?”

Hera finished her job early.
She had promised not to put herself in any compromising situations with her boss. She would do her very best to avoid him so that she won’t be lured into his life of sin.
It would’ve been nice if he had agreed to let go of his sinful act but she knew better not to force him.
But deep down she hoped that he would change because for some reason, she was drawn to him and she doesn’t like it.
She arrived at her apartment and got inside to clean herself up. She missed her sister so dearly as well as the other sisters from the Convent. She doesn’t have a working phone otherwise she wouldn’t mind talking to them all the time.
Maybe she would ask Mariam about it.
She’s the only person here who would understand her plight and try to help her out of this predicament.
Hera cooked her meal from the comfort of her apartment, before deciding to meet up with Mariam.
She got to the other side where Mariam lived and knocked softly on the door.
The door swings open and Mariam peeked through.
“Hera?” She called surprised. She quickly opened the door to let the lady inside.
“Sorry for bothering you ma’am. But I need your help.” She said with a glint of worry registered in her eyes.
“Is everything alright?”
Hera shook her head no.
“I want to speak to my sister. I miss her but I have no idea on how to reach them. Is it okay for me to borrow your cellphone. Just for a few minutes? I promise I’ll give it back.” She was quick to add.
The older woman laughed heartily.
“But of course you can. Wait here.”
Mariam disappeared into her bedroom and came back later with what she had asked for.
Hera took it gratefully “Thank You so much Ma’am.”
She brushed her like it was nothing but seeing the smile on Hera’s face just told her that it meant everything.
“Feel free to use it whenever you want. You can always give it back afterwards.”
Hera threw her arms around her neck in a tight hug before hopping out of the building excitedly.
She arrived at her apartment and brought out her diary where she had written down the contacts of everyone in the convent.
She would call the sisters first and then Christina.
She punched in the numbers and was about to hit the dial button when a knock resounded on her door.
Maybe it was Mariam. She thought out loud.
It couldn’t be her boss because she had already registered in her mind that he might come home late today since he didn’t sleep at home.
Keeping the phone down nicely, she stood up and stalked towards the door to open it.
When she did, she was surprised to see none other than her boss standing at the entrance of her apartment.
Her thin lips parted in confusion.
Now what was he doing here by this time of the day?
