Chapter: 44
Anyway, since he wanted a report, he was sure going to get one. This task was no biggie for Ariana. After all, she had spent the whole day cleaning up dirt Like a slave.
She grabbed a piece of paper from the table and wrote down only two lines of words quickly. She then rushed to Theodore's bedroom with the paper.
No one answered after she knocked on the door twice.
Ariana held the doorknob, intending to open the door. But when she recalled what happened in the study a few days ago, she froze. She couldn't go in without his consent. Her ferocious lion of a husband might rip her head off.
Ariana was pacing about in front of the door when Judy passed by. She was stunned to see her standing there in a bathrobe.
“Ma'am, do you want to see Mr. Anderson? Just go in! The door must be open. He never locks it."
Ariana twisted the doorknob. Truthfully, the door was unlocked.
She said a prayer under her breath and walked in slowly.
The room was brightly lit, but there was no one inside.
Glad that she didn't have to face Theodore now, Ariana breathed a sigh of relief. She just had to put the piece of paper on the bedside table and leave.
As she walked past the bathroom door, she heard the pattering sound of water. She realized that Theodore was taking a shower. She had just taken another step when she heard something shocking; his moans drifted out of the bathroom!
What was he doing? Was he. The moans became louder and louder. Ariana's hand flew to her mouth. Her cheeks turned scarlet.
Never had she pictured Theodore to be someone who jerked himself off, let alone one who moaned so loudly. It turned out that this ascetic man had a wild side.
Ariana couldn't help thinking about what happened back in her bedroom. Was it because of her that...
God! She must be overthinking things. Ariana held her face and took to her heels. That night, she kept tossing and turning on her bed. Theodore's raspy gasps and moans didn't leave her head. Images of him masturbating in the shower popped up non-stop in her mind.
For the next few days, Ariana avoided Theodore like plague. She made a concerted effort not to run into him in the house. She slid her daily report under his door every day.
She had been doing odds and ends of menial jobs at the warehouse for several days in a row. It was so hectic. The only good side was that she got to know more about the warehouseman, Hiram.
Donna didn't show up in front of Ariana ever since. It became pretty obvious that she didn't have the intention of assigning her somewhere else.
Sitting at her supposed temporary station, Ariana was very worried.
She couldn't go on like this. She had only accepted to work at SJ Entertainment because she meant business. How could she waste her time in the warehouse when she was supposed to be doing big things already?
