When she hears the toilet door open, Cara slowly directs her face to the sound, her heart beating hard as she gets ready to see the person she is to have see with. Cara’s heart stops as the opened door reveals the owner of the familiar voice and she can’t believe her eyes.
It’s Alexander but as Cara will rather say Mr. Douche
« I always seem to get that reaction from you. » The first time they met, Cara had her jaw hanging when she set her eyes on him and right now she is doing the same.
The hanging jaw isn’t the first thing Alexander noticed when he first saw Cara, he won’t admit it but it was her curls and the first thing he notices now is the straightened hair, he likes the curls better.
Alexander tries to control his eyes length but his eyes a mind of his own, he scanned the beauty from head to toe.
Noticing that Miss Crazy is still in shock, Alex takes the opportunity to walk over to the leather chair and pick an apple before sitting down.
« So you are a whore, not surprised. » Alex bites down on his apple bringing Cara out of her shock. She hugs herself as she becomes conscious of her surroundings. She is with the enemy and you don’t wear lingerie for the enemy. Cara bends down to get her coat not conscious that she is stepping on it, causing her to land on her butt, as she falls so did her pride.
Cara hugs her coat tightly as she glares at Alexander whose eyes his glued to his phone, biting down on his apple as he typed. Cara is not sure what this is all about, she doesn’t know why this man is here but one thing she is sure of is her rising hate for him.
« That was quite a show. » Alex won’t pretend he didn’t laugh when she fell on her bare butt, not gentlemanly of him of course but he doesn’t believe the girl before he deserves any after the stunt she pulled. She should be grateful to him that she is not rotting in some cell right now, that is the only gift she is going to collect from him after making him lose a lot of money.
« What do you want ? » Cara finally finds her voice back but she didn’t sound as confident as she wants to. Handsome guys have always been her weakness and now, one is in front of her, all suited up and smelling really good.
Alex did not reply to her question instead he studied the sketches for a new jewel design for his company, he has to find a way to regain the money she made him loose. Cara stares at the bastard that is obviously ignoring her, she wants to strangle him.
« There is no way in hell that I will have sex with you. » Cara will always say the first thing that comes to her head and not having intercourse with this arrogant man is an obvious decision. He might be handsome and hot, also, the money will get her somewhere with the medical bills but he is an asshole.
« Having sex with you is the least of my priorities. » This is true, Alex has a lot in his plate, board meeting to attend tomorrow, investors to convince and even having an agreement with the crazy woman before him, sex isn’t what he wants.
If he doesn’t wasn’t to have sex with her, why is she here ? Is this some payback ? Is this a prank ? Cara’s thoughts are all over the place.
« Sit, » Alex commands placing his phone on his lap after which he disposes of the partly finished apple before giving her his full concentration. Cara doesn’t know why she sits on his command. It is almost shocking because no one tells Cara Green what to do. Cara thinks of standing up again, not giving him the satisfaction of being able to command her but she knows she will just appear childish.
Alex stares at the woman who has a frown on her face, he could notice the hate she has developed for him and he can bet their hate for each other is at an equal level. Although he believes he deserves to be angry, she is just being a whiney child. As he stares at her, he tries to gather words to use for his proposal to the woman before him, he has all the information he needs, he just has to say the words.
« Are we going to stare at each other all day or are you going to say something ? » The only reason Cara is still sitting and being subjected to his intense scrutiny through his eyes is because of a couple of dollars she is still determined to get.
« You should try the salad. » Alex offers as he is still trying to get the right words. Cara knows he is stalling and it’s pissing her off.
« If you don’t say something, I am going to walk out of here. » Cara is bluffing, she is not going anywhere without the money, she needs it.
« Fine, » Alex still can’t find the right words, so he is just going to say it. « I need you to be pregnant. »
Cara is used to crazy, after all, she is crazy and her dreams are crazy. Cara once dreamt of being a pilot, quite ironic considering the fact she hates heights. Crazy talks and crazy words are no surprise to her but this bomb dropped on her is beyond bonkers.
« Wait let me get this straight, you want me to get fat ? »
Cara does not know if she should be offended or threatened. Was this his grand plan to make her pay for the scene she caused ?
It’s nuts.
« Pregnant, so yeah, » Alex wonders why it took time for him to say those words, it sounds about right to him, there was no need for fancy words. Besides, there is a 90% chance she won’t understand his fancy words if he said it.
Cara stares at him like he has grown two heads. She is trying to figure out what he is thinking or if he hit his head on something while coming. After a long stare, Cara comes to a conclusion this is just a waste of time, she wronged him and this is payback, now they are even.
« You are going cuckoo, I am leaving. »
This isn’t a bluff, Cara is actually going to leave. She has had enough embarrassment as it is and after all, organ donation is still on the table.
Cara picks up her bag and stands up, Alexander probably thinks she is bluffing until she gets to the door, he realizes she is actually going to leave.
« A million dollars which you can use for payment of your mum’s treatment and the rest, I don’t care what you do with it. »
Cara stops to she processes his words.
Alex had planned not to give her a dime, after all, she owes him, which was until he heard about her mum’s condition, and he reconsidered. The money is to keep her quiet all through the process and what comes after.
« Hold up, did you stalk me ? » As Cara’s nature, she says what comes to her head, deviating from the important topic. Alexander wonders how that’s all she could say after offering a million dollars to her, she should be thankful.
Alexander didn’t stalk the crazy woman, he had no time to. So he sent Andre and others to find out all that he is to know about Cara Green. He does not know how Andre went about it, nor does he care to know, he is here before her, which indicates a job well done.
« Unlike someone, I have an actual job. » Alex’s voice sounds condescending as he intends for it to sound. If he truly wants to be honest, he is disgusted and annoyed with the fact that a woman like Cara would subject herself to being a thing of pleasure to men.
When Andre came to Alex with all the information needed, Alexander had intended to meet her in her workplace, Geisel’s. When Alex got there he met Jim instead, and when he asked for her, Jim started blabbing asking how much he is willing to pay for a night with her. Alex was so mad at the little respect she had for herself and he wanted to reconsider his offer, he doesn’t want his child to be birthed by a whore.
He is not that desperate.
Then he heard the loose mouthed manager say something about this being her first time and once again he reconsidered. Alexander believes the girl before him should be thankful to him, not asking stupid questions, he is basically her saviour.
« I hired someone to get info about you. How the hell do you think I got here ? » Cara stares at him for a while not because she is thinking about anything, in particular, her brain has shut down upon hearing a million dollars, she needs to reboot.
Cara walks back to her chair, dropping her bag on the floor before taking her seat.
« Point taken, » Cara still trying to process the offer, she produces a mental picture of herself heavily pregnant within seconds and it doesn’t look great. A million dollars ? That can solve lots of problems in her life. If she was willing to donate an organ, how is this any different ? And she won’t probably get a million dollars for any of her organs.
« So have you accepted the offer ? » Alex doesn’t understand what’s taking her time to accept, it’s quite easy. He is saving her from opening her legs for money and besides no matter how many times she opens her legs no one will give her a million dollars.
