《Mr. Ceo & I》Chapter 22

"It was really nice seeing you Tracey. I promise next time coffee is on me." I smiled at her giving her a hug.
Well if I’m not broke at that time I thought to myself
"I can't wait, and Natalia please don't be a stranger. Even though I don't see you that often. Please stay in touch!" She said.
"Sure thing!"
"Bye Natalia see you around."
"Bye"
"Bye Miya it was nice to finally meet you!" She said while looking down at her.
"Bwye!" Miya chirped up waving at Tracey.
We walked out together and went our separate ways. I placed Miya in the back seat and drove home.
A few minutes later I parked in the front of my apartment complex. I opened my car door then closed it.
I unbuckled Miya from her car seat and held her in my arms. I walked to the stairs heading up to my door. However, I stopped moving my feet, because the scene before my eyes paralyzed my body from moving it seemed.
I saw my belongings from my apartment thrown outside of my door. People were emptying items out one by one.
"What do you think you're doing!?" I screamed at the men that were in my apartment.
One of them, who I think oversaw the rest of them looked at me confused.
"Who are you?" He asked me.
"Who am I? I’m the person that currently lives here, and these are my stuff that you have in your hands right now!" I said screaming at him.
"Oh, sorry Ma’am we were called to move items form this specific location and room. A guy named Mace called my office a few days ago to set and carry out the job."
I was going to say something, but Mace interrupted me from behind.
"Yup, I sure did call them" He said
"What the heck is this about?" I turned towards him asking.

"Like I told you if you didn't have the rent money you were going to be evicted."
"You told me I had until the end of the week! It has only been two days!?" I yelled at him.
He shrugged his shoulders, not even caring that I was going to be out on the street.
"You should of just gave me what I wanted." He stated.
"Are you serious! I'm getting kicked out of my apartment right now, and all you can think about is your pleasures. Get it through your head I don't want to sleep with your disgusted dirty self. I-"
"Sleep with who?" A husky voice said from behind me.
I turned around and was shocked to see Asher standing in front of me with a nice sleek suit, and pants on, with his hands in his pockets.
He looked between Mace and I, before his eyes wandered to what was taking place in my apartment
"What's going on here?" He asked diverting his gaze towards Mace.
However, Mace didn't answer the question but gave a scowl to Asher instead.
"Who are you?" Mace asked with anger in his voice.
"It doesn't matter who I am. I asked a question. A smart person would answer." He said with his voice laced with annoyance.
"I don’t have to do anything" Mace said looking at Asher with the same scowl placed on his face.
"Oh really?” Asher asked with a dark chuckle, while taking his hands out of his pockets rather quickly.
Asher stalked towards Mace, but before he can punch his face in. I stepped in between them.
However, I put Miya down on the ground, because I didn't want to hold her, when I was in the middle of the showdown.
"Go into the apartment sweetheart. I'll meet you in there."
She nodded her head and left towards the door. I looked up at Asher and seen his jaw flexed under his skin, and his hands clenched to his side.

My back was towards Mace while I stood face to face with Asher looking at him.
He was glaring above my head, where Mace stood. They just kept on staring at each other until I finally spoke to break up whatever they were doing.
I turned around looking at Mace with a disgusted look.
"Don't worry, I'll be out in like an hour. Just leave me to myself so I can move out my belongings in peace.”
I walked towards my apartment, not even waiting for him to respond. I heard Asher trail behind me.
When I walked in the men were still there touching everything that was mine. I was about to tell them to leave but Asher beat me to it.
"Leave!"
They all froze for a minute, looking at Asher like he was stupid. They didn't move an inch until Asher screamed again.
"Now!"
All of them dropped what they were doing and scrambled out the door including the boss
I'm guessing they didn't want to argue. I mean Asher, without even saying words was intimidating. There was an aura that was around him, that just gives off a threatening vibe.
After they were all gone he turned towards me. He looked pretty much the same since the last time I saw him. His hair was slicked back, expect the same piece that always fell over his eyes.
He looked professional, It looked like he just got out of work. He just stood there waiting for me to speak.
"Um... thanks for that."
I said pointing at the door. However, he didn't pay attention to what I was saying. He was looking around my apartment curious of what was going on.
I was still confused of why he was here and how did he even know where I lived.
I broke the silence by asking those exact questions.
"What are you doing here? Better yet, how do you know where I live?"
He turned around and finally spoke to me.
"You answer my question first before anything. What's going on?"
I huffed in annoyance, and threw my hands in the air.
"What does it look like? I'm getting evicted. I don't have any money, food, and on top of that I have no job."
"Well, who's fault is that, that you don't have a job?" He asked me.
"Yours" I said immediately.
"I don't control your choices. You chose to quit." He said firmly
"So, your rudeness, poor manners, slackness of kindness, and arrogant attitude that you reflected towards me every day had nothing to do with it!?"
I raised my voice at him. He just looked at me not saying anything.
"That's what I thought."
There was a silence in the air until he spoke up again.
"Fine." He said
"Fine what?"
"You can have your job back?"
I scoffed at him " I'm not asking for my job back."
"Why do you have to make this more complicated?" He said rubbing his hands over his face.
Now I was really lost. I didn't know what he was talking about.
"I'm not making anything compli-"
"I want you back. I mean working for me as a personal assistant." He finally said interrupting me.
"Well you need to stop-"
"I know I'll try to be nicer?"
He said more like a question then actually stating it. It seemed like he never even used the word.
"Yes, nicer Asher" I said in a slow voice for him to understand.
He frowned at my response. He was also waiting for me to say something.
"Yeah, I'll come back."
He nodded his head. I thought the conversation was over until he spoke up once more.
The next words that came out of his mouth, literally had my jaw to the floor.
"There's one more thing."
"Mhmm?" I hummed.
