C2 Chapter 2: Working for the Devil

"Mom." Seylah hollered as she walked into the front door.

"Did you know Roman owns Son's and Son's?" she asked annoyed as she walked into the living room. She bent down to pick up Liam.

"Yeah, why? Did the interview go badly?" her most asked in concern.

"No, I got the job. The problem is my boss is the actual devil." she signed out in response to her mom.

"Oh, honey. I'm sure it won't be so bad." Leslie said optimistically to her daughter.

"Mom, he was already testing me during the end of the hiring process. We broke up so long ago, but it's like he's holding a grudge against me, but he broke my heart, and I broke up with him." she whined.

"Why can't he get over it?" Seylah whined out.

"It'll be okay, think positive dear." Leslie said sweetly.

"Easy for you to say." Seylah groaned.

"What day and time do you start?" Leslie asked.

"Tomorrow, six in the morning, I have to finish up paperwork then get started. Will you be okay with Liam?" Seylah asked.

"We'll be okay, daddy isn't working tomorrow so he'll spend the day with myself and little man." Leslie said sweetly.

"Okay. Let me get my office number and you can call me there if you can't reach my cell for and emergencies." Seylah said quickly.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Seylah's phone began to ring.

"Hello." she said softly.

"I need you to come to a dinner party and help me close this deal." Roman's voice said lowly on the other line.

"Tonight?" she asked in shocked.

"Yes, is that a problem?" he asked coldly.

"No. Not a problem." she said lowly as she looked at a sleeping Liam as he finished his night-time nursing.

"What time?" she asked lowly.

"One hour at Balini's." he said lowly and hung up.

She laid Liam in his crib and went downstairs to let her mom know she needed to go out.

"Mom, can you keep an eye on Liam?" she asked softly.

"Of course, dear. Are you heading out?" Leslie asked kindly.

"Unfortunately, yes. Roman called, he needs help closing a deal." she groaned out.

"Okay, honey. You get going. Liam will be fine." Leslie said sweetly.

Seylah went back to her room and quietly slipped on a black evening dress and black heels, she quickly applied some makeup and brushed her hair back and into a low bun, and added a pair of small diamond earrings she got from her parents a few birthdays ago. She walked to Liam's crib and gently placed a kiss on his head and walked out of the bedroom and into the living room.

"I'll be back as soon as I can." she said softly to her mom.

"Take your time, honey." her mom said sweetly.

"I'll call in a bit and check on Liam." she said softly to her mom as she walked out of the house and got into her car and headed to the restaurant.

Roman was outside when she arrived. She got out of her car and walked over to him.

"How long is this expected to take?" she asked lowly as she approached him.

"However long as it'll take." he said coldly.

"Why? Did I interrupt your night?" he scoffed.

"Kind of." she retorted back to him.

"I'm sure whoever he is, can wait." he said coldly as he placed his hand on the small of her back and guided her into the restaurant. They were seated at the table and five minutes later the guests arrived.

"Mr. Arison, pleasure. And who is this lovely little thing?" the man asked creepily as his eyes scanned Seylah.

"This is Miss Jones." Roman said lowly, almost in a tone of jealousy.

"I see. The pleasure is mine." the creepy man said as he reached for her hand and placed a kiss on it that made Seylah's skin crawl.

"Donald, don't go making my employee uncomfortable now. This dinner is about business." Roman said lowly.

"My apologies." Donald said as he tried to take a seat beside Seylah, which Roman quickly intervened.

"Actually, Donald your seat is over here." Roman said as he pulled a seat out for the man then walked over and seated himself next to Seylah.

"So, Donald as you know prices in that area are starting to skyrocket. If you're serious about this property now is the time to act." Seylah said in a friendly and professional tone, as she remembered the file Roman texted her.

"Yes, I noticed that." Donald said in a sweet voice as he tried to extend his foot to touch hers.

"Is there any factors making you hesitant with the property?" Seylah said curiously.

"Not exactly. It seems perfect for my intentions. But seems I need to be sold on it a little more before I am willing to close." he said creepily as he shot a wink to Seylah.

"Donald, I'd like to remind you to keep this professional. Unless, you never have intentions on buying in this town again." Roman said coldly.

"Yes, sorry. Did you bring by the contract?" Donald asked Roman. Seylah's phone began to ring.

"Excuse me, I must get this." she said lightly as she nodded to the two men before standing and walking to the restroom.

"Hello?" Seylah said worried as she answered the phone.

"Hey, honey. Just wanted to let you know Liam woke up for a minute and I gave him a bottle of breast milk." Leslie said sweetly.

"Okay, well I love you I'll be home as soon as possible. Don't wait up if you get tired." She said sweetly as she hung up the phone and turned to walk out of the bathroom when she noticed Roman was in there too.

"Roman." she said startled.

"You're in such a hurry to get home to your man? You must not take this job seriously." he said coldly.

"My personal life isn't your business." she retorted.

"It is when you're leaving in the middle of a business deal to answer your lover's calls." he scoffed.

"Whatever." she said coldly as she brushed past him to the door. He blocked the door with his hand and pinned her body against it.

"Don't think you can disrespect me." he said lowly.

"I did nothing wrong but take a call in public." she said coldly.

"Your body, still caves against mine." he said lowly as he grazed his lips along her jaw.

"Tell me. Has any man been able to satisfy you like I always did?" he said cockily as his lips brushed against hers.

"Roman, please." she panted out.

"Please, what?" he said in a low seductive voice.

"Please, stop." she muttered out fighting feelings of arousal. He always had the ability to bring her to her knees.

"Is that what you really want?" he said lowly as he placed a gentle kiss to her lips. She reacted without thinking and kissed him back hungrily and full of passion. Their hands roaming each other's body as their kiss deepened.

"No." she said sharply as she pushed him away.

"I didn't come here for this." she said quickly as she walked out of the bathroom and back to the table.

A moment later Roman came back to the table. They got the contract signed and saw Donald off. Seylah was getting ready to get into her car when Roman's hand stopped her.

"What do you want now?" she asked in annoyance.

"Why'd you come back?" he asked curiously.

"Not for you or this." she said coldly.

"You expect me at the office at six. Are you going to hold me here?" she said lowly while fixing her eyes into a glare.

"Maybe. Are you sure you'd rather go home to your lover instead of reliving the fun we used to have?" he said curiously.

"Yes, I'm sure. Have a good night, Roman." she said as she pushed his hand off her car and got in.

Seylah's POV

I don't know how I am going to handle working for him. He drives me insane. He starts problems without any reason what so ever. He thinks I'm going home to another man. He's so annoying. I'm going home to my son. I wouldn't let another man in my life so easily after what Simon did, but Roman doesn't seem to know about Liam. I'd like it to stay that way. Keep my son away from my ex-boyfriend drama. I just want to give him the perfect life far away from pain and hurt. He deserves the best. I'll make sure he gets it. As far as Roman goes, I need to keep my distance and make it clear I won't be doing anymore after hours work. He can take someone else along with him. It will not be me though. I need to pump as soon as I get home. Going off schedule for pumping and nursing today has me so engorged and sensitive. Thankfully, my office at work is private and has a mini fridge so I can pump and store my milk.

Roman's POV

I can't believe she got up and answered a call from another man. She couldn't just send a quick text. That kiss was just as hungry and passionate as they always were when we were together. What I would have given to fuck her right there, until she pushed me away. She definitely isn't the same as she was while we were together. I don't know what's changed. I am still determined to make her life hell as she made mine. It took me so long to get over her. Then she comes back tearing all the walls I built down. Bringing back all the memories of how we loved each other. Every damn feeling resurfaced. Now, she's moved on and says she loves someone else. While I struggle. I haven't been able to have another relationship since her. Only one night flings. They could never compare to what she and I had. She just threw it in my face she could turn me down so easily. If she had not stopped I would have taken it as far as I could. Not caring who in the restaurant would hear her sounds of pleasure as I soaked of the taste of having her again. Her body under mine, moving in sync. Feeling how good she felt as she'd orgasm around my cock, trying to milk me of all my cum I had to offer. Laying together catching our breath as we prepared for another round of each others bodies. She got over it so easily. Like what we had was nothing. Now, I just want to compromise her relationship. Petty, I know but she broke me and she deserves to know how it feels to lose that kind of heart completing love.

"Good morning, baby boy." Seylah cooed as she woke up Liam to nurse.

"Mommy has to work today. But grams and gramps will be here all day with you giving you all the plays and loves." she said sweetly as she latched Liam to nurse.

Once he was done nursing she changed his diaper and took off his pajamas and got him into his outfit for the day. She finished getting ready as he played on the bedroom floor with some of his toys.

"Okay, baby. Let's give you to grams, so mommy can go to work." she said sweetly as she picked up Liam and planted kisses on his sweet face.

"Mom, here's Liam. There is bottles of breast milk in the fridge and some storage bags in the freezer of milk if he goes through all his bottles before I'm home. I am off at five. So, I'll be home shortly after." she said sweetly to her mom and placed more kisses on Liam.

"Good bye, my baby." she said softly as she walked out of the house and headed to her office.

She was halfway there and her phone began to ring.

"Hello." she said.

"You're late." Roman's voice said on the other line.

"You told me six. I still have twenty minutes." she said annoyed.

"Did you not check the email I sent at four this morning? I said I needed you at five." he said coldly through the line.

"Really, Roman? Who checks their email the second they wake up?" she scoffed.

"If you wanted me at five, you should have text or called me." she said coldly.

"I'm calling now to let you know you're late." he said lowly.

"Okay. I needed to talk to you anyways. I won't be doing anymore after hours work." she said coldly.

"Is that so?" he said lowly.

"Yes, it is. Take someone else next time. I have a life." she said coldly.

Roman just hung up the phone.

Seylah's POV

I got to the office and went straight into my office so I could pump and look over files of prospect buyers and their interested properties. I was sitting in my office for fifteen minutes when the door opened and in walked Roman.

"Can I help you?" I asked lowly as I read not remembering my breasts were out and attached to the pump.

"What are you doing?" he asked in a shocked tone.

"Working, Roman. What does it look like?" I asked lowly.

"It looks like you have your tits out with some weird contraction sucking on them." he said honestly.

"Oh, shit." I said quickly as I covered myself.

"If you want someone to suck on your breasts all you have to do is ask." he said cockily.

"What do you need, Roman?" I said flustered.

"I need you in my office in ten minutes." he said lowly and walked out.

I removed the pump from my breasts and placed the milk in the mini fridge. I grabbed to nursing pads to place in my bra in case I start leaking. I composed myself and walked to Roman's office and knocked.

"Come in." he said lowly.

I walked in.

"Oh, you didn't need to put your breasts away on my account." he said cockily.

"Don't. What do you need?" I asked coldly.

"Sit." he said.

I sat down at one of the chairs at his desk opposite of him.

"I have meetings today, I'll need you to attend with me." he said lowly.

"Is there anyone else available?" I asked softly.

"I don't think us spending time together is wise." I say honestly.

"No, I need someone beautiful with a slick tongue to close these sales." he said lowly.

"I've seen many pretty women in this office. Take one of them or you can take this job back. I'm not working with you, Roman." I say coldly and walk out of his office and back to mine. I spent my day until five, on the phone with clients and showing houses. I was so eager when it came time to head home. I dialed my mom as I was leaving my office and locking the door. I spoke to my mom for a moment before she held the phone to Liam's ear.

"Liam, baby. I'm on my way home! I'll make some supper and give you all the loves!" I said sweetly before my phone was snatched from my ear.

"Roman." I snapped.

"My office, now." he said coldly as he held my phone in his hand and walked away.

I followed him into his office and he shut the door.

"What is your problem?" I snapped.

"You are." he said coldly as he closed the blinds from prying eyes.

"Roman, I don't know what you're playing but I don't want any of it." I say coldly.

"Are you in love with him?" he said coldly.

"Yes." I said coldly matching his cold gaze, I said yes because I am in love with my son, he's my world, and what Roman doesn't know is for the best.

"Liam, what's his last name?" he questioned me.

"Listen, crazy ex is not something I want to add to my list of problems. Give me my phone and let me leave. I have things going on." I said angrily.

"How can you do it?" he asked coldly.

"Do what?" I retorted.

"Live with yourself." he snapped.

"What do you mean?" I snap back.

"Leaving people broken, then living your life with no cares." he said angrily.

"You cheated on me and I broke up with you, but you think I broke your heart?" I laughed out.

"You're pathetic." I say coldly as I snatch my phone back and turned to walk out. He blocked my way.

"You really feel nothing?" he asked coldly.

"I used to but I'm over it." I said retorted and walked out.

Roman's POV

Seeing Seylah with her tits out made me want to strip her there in her office and bend her over from behind railing her. I wanted so badly to rub one out before she came into my office. I was hoping she'd take care of it for me, before she told me she refused to work with me. Then the pain of hearing her sweet talk another man on her way out of the office almost made my head pop with rage. Maybe, allowing her this job was a very bad idea on my part. I don't know who this Liam is but I'll find out. So, maybe we both hurt each other. She was texting my friend, planning a party for me, but I didn't know it was innocent so I kissed someone else. She ended our relationship ending my happiness. Maybe what I did was worse, but it pisses me off how she's throwing her new love in my face. It's absolutely soul crushing.
