‘’Georgia, I am going to run out for a quick minute.’’ She gives me a panicked look. ‘’I have to go to Asher’s office. He has the blueprint there and I want to take a quick glance at it for an idea.’’ ‘’Oh, alright. But please don’t stay too long.’’ She glances back at the men who are moving in the heavy kitchen equipment. I shake my head because I’m pretty sure that one of them is gay, and the other is married with his wife helping them. I wipe my hands in the apron, then take it off because it wouldn’t be a good look to be wearing it around. I walk over to the bodyguard. ‘’Since U Connect is so close and I have to go to Asher’s office for something, I will just walk there.’’ He nods. ‘’Ok, let me come with you.’’ I quickly shake my head. ‘’No, there is no need. I need to be alone for a while. Besides, I would rather for you to stay here with Georgia.’’ ‘’Mrs. Thomas, my job is to protect you. I don’t care about anyone else here and if the boss should find out that I left you
A Simple Favor 19 Millie
“I am going to nip to the toilet for a bit,’’ Georgia says, getting up from her perch beside me. I nod, biting into my milky way bar. As I look around, I am proud of my… our work. The place is coming together nicely. All I need now is the new windows and doors, along with the furniture, and we are good to be open. I didn't notice anyone coming in, but when I look up, Asher is standing before me. I suck in a breath and choke on the piece of chocolate I was chewing on. I cough and try to catch my breath, but it takes longer for it to go down. So I get up from my seat for a bottle of water. ‘’Hey,’’ he says. Either oblivious to my predicament or not caring at all. ‘’You’re back,’’ I say, then clear my throat. ‘’I am.’’ Asher nods. ‘’You took longer than a week,’’ I say. I don’t know why I said that, but if I’m being honest with myself. I missed his presence. I missed him coming to pick me up and even though we don’t talk much, I missed that. He looks away from me before answering.
A Simple Favor 20 Asher
The next morning, I woke early for work, because once again one of the idiots my father hired fucked up. I don’t see why he doesn’t just leave things to me. He isn’t getting any younger and needs to retire already. This place can survive without him and I have proved that time and time again. I pause when I see the light shining out from under Millie’s door, and just as I walk off, she gets out of her room. ‘’Good morning,’’ she smiles brightly at me. ‘’You are up early,’’ I note. ‘’I thought I could go jogging before heading to the shop. It is all Georgia’s idea, but I’m going along because I’m not too familiar with the place.’’ My eyes travel over her body, and they bring back the memory of the heated moment we shared at my grandparents' house. She doesn’t seem affected by it and if I don’t know better, I would say she doesn’t care much about it. She behaves as if nothing had happened, while I get hard every time I think about almost taking her virgin body. ‘’Anyway, bye.’’
A Simple Favor 21 Asher
As I sit there, I can’t seem to get my mind to focus on what is happening now. My mind keeps going back to Sabrina. I guess I am the one who allowed what happened just now to happen. I never set boundaries between us before. I allow her to wear what she wants because I liked it and I gave her too much privilege. Now she thinks she can do whatever she wants. Thankfully, the meeting is over quickly, and all I can do is leave my father to deal with things. He will eat my ear off later for it, but now I think I have to right my wrongs. ‘’Sabrina, in my office now.’’ When she closes the door behind her, she smiles. ‘’Did you change your mind? Was the meeting too much?’’ ‘’No, I am giving you a warning. It is about the way you are dressed and for trying to fraternize with me.’’ She gives a laugh. ‘’You can’t be serious.’’ ‘’I am,’’ I say, then produce a folder that has the sheet for her to sign. ‘’This is your first warning, you should not wear those kinds of outfits around the buildi

I hear the door opening, so I turn. Expecting it to be Georgia back with the clocks, I asked her to buy. But I see that it is no one and guess that the wind must have blown the door open. Since yesterday, the heavy gust of wind has been doing that. This is just another reason why I can’t wait for the new door to come so I can change them. I plug the sign in that is hanging over the counter and get down from the ladder to see how it looks. I smile at my handy work, proud of myself that I manage to hang up the sign and the menu all by myself. ‘And Georgia thought I needed a man to do the task.’ I think to myself. ‘’So, this is it?’’ a voice asks. I turn around to see Sabrina smiling at me. She is dressed in even more prerogative clothing than before. Sporting extremely short shorts that show off her ass cheeks and what I'm guessing is a sports bra that has a hole in the middle to show off most of her breasts. ‘’Did Asher send you here?’’ I ask. Even though I doubt that is work att

When I get home, I keep glancing at Millie. She hasn’t said a word since giving me that goofy smile and asking if something happened between Sabrina and me. I just wish I know what she is thinking because she doesn’t seem affected by any of this at all. All she does is go to the kitchen and eat. I join her shortly after, and for a while, I just stare at her. ‘’What?’’ her brows knit together as she frowns at me. ‘’Are you alright?’’ She nods. ‘’Why wouldn’t I be?’’ ‘’The entire ordeal.’’ She gives a smile. ‘’I am not at all affected by any of this. The only thing I wish is that you would keep your women away from me.’’ ‘’She isn’t my woman.’’ ‘’Well, she sure as hell acts like it. But either way, I’m sure she won’t come around me anytime soon.’’ I narrow my eyes, seeing that she really does have claws. One of my bodyguards comes into the kitchen. ‘’Sir. We don’t know where the girl is sir. Her mother claims to have not seen her for a while now.’’ ‘’Then where the hell can
A Simple Favor 24 Millie
As I go about my business shopping for flowers as Georgia suggested, I notice I am being followed by Sabrina, who thinks she is being stealthy by wearing a hoodie and glasses. But it is obvious it is her from the short tight skirt she is wearing, and the tattoo on her left thigh. When the bodyguard and I turn right, she does the same. Not even trying to put much distance between us. ‘’That girl is following us,’’ I tell him. “I know, she has been for a while,’’ he replies. I glance back to see if she has any weapons. ‘’Don’t worry, she doesn’t check out. I have someone else from my team shadowing her.’’ I look over at him, wondering how he knows what I had in mind. But I can’t help but glance back again, because of the way she has her hands in the pockets of her pullover. ‘’Let's go in here.’’ He pushes me through the open door of a random store. There we wait to see if we would lose her, but she waits out front and keeps glancing inside. Our eyes meet and I flip her the bird
A Simple Favor 25 Millie
By nightfall, another piece of news broke that Sabrina was just an ex-employee of U Connect Inc. And is just upset that she got fired for stealing important information from the company. I roll my eyes as I read the post because if this is what Mr. Thomas means about taking care of things, it isn’t helping because that girl will be coming back. People like her don’t give up just like that. I scroll down them see them saying that the pictures were fake, someone even commented that it doesn’t look like Asher. There is also a detailed letter about Sabrina’s dismissal from U Connect, which led to her going off the rails and stalking us. Asher comes into the living room talking on his phone. I wave mine in his face and he frowns. ‘’Won’t this only make things worst, I’m sure Sabrina will get back at us in some other way.’’ The only thing he does is stare at me before going back to his conversation. ‘’It’s whatever.’’ Just as the words leave my lips, the front door opens with Mr. T
