Chapter 47

• Denzel could not hide his joy; his happiness was spilling over onto his face. It had been a long time coming; this was the best news he had had in a long while. After much persuasion, Kate had finally decided to quit her job at the restaurant to come work for him as his maid, or friend, or lover—whatever capacity she wanted to work in was fine by him.
• He hadn’t been able to sleep since last night when Kate informed him that she had finally decided to come back to work, and she wanted what he had promised: a fivefold salary increase. That was nothing to Denzel; he could pay her even more if she had asked.
• Denzel had tossed all night, anticipating her return; he was yet to inform Mia that her job had been offered to someone else, someone who didn’t quite want it. Denzel felt guilty; he couldn’t bring himself to sack Mia, especially not after she had sucked his cock so well. He had always tried to replay that scene in his head each time he was alone.
