Novel Bin Chapter 134
“Really? That’s a little surprising. Maybe the records from the orphanage were all destroyed by the fire. If you looked into it then you would know that there was a fire there, right?” I asked while trying to avoid his question.
I didn’t want to get my dead parents involved in this. The circumstances surrounding their death was devastatingly sad for me and I didn’t want anyone looking into that incident or anything else related to my birth parents. It would just be...disrespectful. That was part of the reason why I never minded not talking about my birth parents or hiding the fact that I was indeed adopted.
Simon stood up from his seat as he slowly walked around the large table to come to my side. I looked up at him as I tried not to be intimidated by his presence. Instead, I offered him a polite smile.
“I didn’t want to look into you at first but when I saw you...you really reminded me of someone that I knew very very well...” Simon said as he bent down and brought his face very close to mine.
His eyes searched my face as my body stiffened in panic. What the hell is he even talking about? The way he said the words ‘very very well’ sounded so...suggestive...
I have never met him before and even if I did, we did not know each other ‘very very well’. Trust me, I always remember the men that I spend the night with, and I have never spent the night or anytime at all with this man. He’s too old for my tastes like he could be my father or even older and I didn’t have that kind of preference. Wait! That is not the main point here!
He’s probably mistaking me for someone else. That has got to be it.
“I’ve been told that many times before. I guess my face isn’t all that unique,” I said while trying to laugh it off.
.....
Simon continued staring at my face and I started to lean backwards to put some distance between us. He’s getting too close for comfort, and I didn’t like the way that he was staring at my face. Things got even worst when his gaze traveled down to my chest below travelling down the curves of my body. I never thought that I would be stuck to deal with a situation like this. He’s the CEO and all that but I have to find a way to get out of this situation somehow.
“You really resemble her. It’s even too good to be true. I thought that as well when I first laid eyes on you...Elena...” Simon said as his hand snaked out and touched my cheek.
Ok! This has to stop!
I flinched and quickly swatted his hand away from my face. How dare he touch me?
The loud slapping sound rang awkwardly loud in the silent room. Simon looked shocked and offended by the fact that I had slapped his hand away while I couldn’t quite wrap my mind around what was happening. Is this really happening? The CEO of GH Entertainment is trying to sexually harass me right here in his office? What the hell is he even going on about me resembling someone that he knew?
This is just sick...
I need to get out of here, I can’t stay here with this man any longer. At that moment, I was only worried about getting away and everything else didn’t matter. The job contract and my debt didn’t matter to me anymore. I just knew that I had to get out of that room before he did something even more unacceptable to me.
“Don’t run away,” Simon hissed.
I cried out when I felt my arm being yanked backwards as he pulled me back. His eyes were scary as he stared at me. I struggled against him, but he only gripped my arm tighter, and it began to hurt. I cringed at the clear desire and lust swimming in his eyes as he stared at my face.
“Let go! Let go of me now!” I screamed loudly.
Someone please help! Isn’t there someone out there that can help me?!
Suddenly, the door to his office flew open with a loud bang.
“Sorry! You can’t go in there without permission...” a woman said in a shaky voice.
Simon froze in shock at the sudden development as we both turned towards the door.
“EROS...help me...please...” I called for his help as my voice cracked.
That was when I realized just how close I was to tears. EROS walked in through the door with a clear scowl on his angelic features. His hair was damp, and he was quite sweaty. Did he turn up here from his dance practice?
“Seriously, old man. This habit of yours has got to stop...” EROS said darkly as he stared at his father.
“Why do you care so much? She’s not even your girlfriend...” Simon said like what he did was nothing.
EROS approached us and Simon pulled roughly on my arm to get me away from EROS. I cried out loudly at the pain that ripped through my arm. This is going to leave a bruise for sure, I just knew it.
EROS’s eyes widened when I screamed out in pain. There was a dangerous look of pure anger in his eyes, and I was sure that EROS had completely neglected his persona and had reverted to simply being Sean. Without a word, Sean raised his fist and punched his father squarely in the face. It all happened so fast that I wasn’t sure what really happened. There was a loud sound when his punch landed and then Simon’s grip was gone from my arm. There was another loud crashing sound and then Simon was on the floor while Sean pulled me into his arms and held me against him as if he wanted to keep me safe.
“Don’t you dare touch her again. Come with me, Elena,” Sean warned before turning to guide me out of the room.
