Chapter 93
-Maya’s POV-
The surprise must have been clear on my face, because the word exploded out of me in a surprised gasp. “What?”
Ivan chuckled as he pulled out and I had to stop myself from letting out a moan, his eyes holding mine. “I know it’s out of the blue,” he admitted, “but hear me out.”
He leaned down then, pressing a quick kiss to my lips. It was a chaste peck, a playful tease that left me wanting more.
“Go get cleaned up,” he whispered, his voice husky. “I will use another bathroom down the hall because,” he added, a glint of amusement in his eyes, “I can’t promise I won’t take you again if we get in the shower together.”
With that, he turned and walked out of the bathroom, leaving me standing there speechless. It took a moment for my brain to catch up with what just happened.
Ivan wanted me to work for him?
A mix of emotions swirled inside me – confusion, surprise, and a flicker of something else, something deeper and more unexpected.
Happiness? Maybe.
Taking a deep breath, I finally tore myself away from the spot and stumbled towards the shower. The cool water cascaded down my skin, washing away the lingering heat of our encounter and giving me a moment to clear my head.
As the water massaged away the tension in my muscles, I replayed Ivan’s words in my mind. Working for him… it was a tempting offer, especially after weeks of fruitless job hunting. But there were complications, of course. The biggest one being Alex.
His investment had given Ivan’s company a much–needed boost, propelling it back onto its feet. The irony of it all wasn’t lost on me. The man who rejected me, who broke my heart, was now indirectly helping the man I was married to.
The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth. I didn’t want to be beholden to him in any way, not even through Ivan.
