Russian roulette-part 11

He continued the meeting with his staff and ignored her completely. She didn’t take it lightly. She walked up to him and screamed, “ How dare you ? Last night you made love to me and now you treat me like shit. Am I nothing to you?”  “ You are like every other girl I spend the night with. Don’t make a difference… and you have already done this with Boris. Why do you act strange as if you have lost chastity?” , he mocked. She was surprised to hear from the man she gave everything. “ Who are you? I don’t understand you.”, she said. “ You and I share only an employer-employee relationship. Last night was a mistake. Hope I made it clear and now you can leave.”, he said firmly.

She left the room , shocked and heartbroken. She wanted to lock herself in the room. But she couldn’t do that. Her life was not hers… she lives for serving others. There was no escape for her. She was in this business for long time and it would remain till she died.

She prepared for the night. She had to make the people beg for more. She practiced her moves for hours together until she mastered it.

He was alone, thinking about what he had said. He knew that he was red. But he was always that way-snobbish was his middle name. He had explained it clearly in the letter that he wasn’t a lover boy. He was a heart breaker. Although there were times when he wished that he wasn’t. These moments were with her when he could hold and never wanted to let her go.

He should have spoken to her instead of writing her letter. It was better he could have heard her speak too and settled this issue then and there itself. Unfortunately he had no courage to face her. Her big wide eyes were more than enough to melt him.

She had done this before – while she was furious about him using her. Her angry eyes had already made him change his mind unless he didn’t control it. Love! He had tried to not to fall for this sweet trap. Alas! He had fallen for her and there was no way out. However this new found was not going to last because of the person he is.

He had to be bad and evil towards though he didn’t want to. But what else could he do? He didn’t want her to get attached to him…and even worse was disappointing her.
