Chapter 145: No Rest Needed
"So, does this mean that I can expect you back at work on Monday?" Derek asked, and Emily had never been tempted like that in her life. She wanted so badly to just nod her head to tell him yes.
’Yes Derek I will come back to Haven Group and be your PA again,’But instead of nodding Emily found herself shaking her head.
The way something in his eyes dimmed and seemed to go out at her shaking her head made Emily want to take it back. It made her want to nod and tell him that she did not mean to say no, but she could not bring herself to do that. This was not just about him, and making him happy. It was about her as well.
And as much as she needed sleep, she also needed other things like food and being certain that she would be taken care of. So before she could agree to sleep with him and see if it worked.
She had to get something straight first, instead of just jumping into the situation without a second thought. After all, if things did not work out, she was the one who stood to lose the most. So she could not just go into it blindly, not even trying to cover her bases in case something went wrong.
This was not the time for her to be taking decisions with her heart. Her brain had to be fully on board so that she could negotiate the best deal possible.
"I get it. Believe me, I understand. I too want to have a good night’s rest for once in my life without being woken up by a nightmare that I cannot even properly decipher. But in as much as I want to have a good night’s rest, I also want to be secure..."
"Emily, believe me, I will not touch you in any inappropriate way. It is just sleep. I promise. I just want to sleep," He said, interrupting her before she could go on.
