Quinn's POV
As soon as the phone rang, Henry and I looked at each other.
I could feel the intense of his heart beat. He seemed to be really scared. He raised up his phone and from the look on his face, I was able to figure out that it was Kathleen calling. I grabbed his phone from him and cut the call immediately, then I muted his ring tone.
There was no other way to escape this impending storm. From the very start I knew that I and Henry were making a huge mistake. If miss Kathleen happened to find the two of us together, then there would be no explanation whatsoever to defend our action.
One way or the other, I knew that I had to figure out a way to get myself out of this mess. If there was something thing I could get myself doomed for, it would be any other thing but not having an affair with my boss.
The monthly pay I was getting for working as his personal maid was twice greater than the income of an accountant or even a school teacher.
I looked at Henry, hoping that he had already figured out a way to get us out of this mess.
"We can't let her see the two of us together. What should we do?" I asked him.
He looked at me for a second or so, before replying. "I don't know. I've always wanted to get rid of her but I never thought it would be this early. Fate is surely at work."
How could his reply be so casual? I thought he was bothered but I was totally wrong. This man was just a selfish bastard, who couldn't care less about other people's feelings.
"I don't know about you but there is now way that I'm going to jeopardize my job for this."
My chest heaved up and down as I heard Kathleen's footstep get closer and closer.

I waited for Henry to pick, in order to catch him red handed but he didn't, he chose to leave my call unanswered.
Of course he could not pick up because he was busy banging his maid and showering her with loads of kisses.
Was he even aware that I was outside the room that he was making out with his girlfriend?
Did he have the slightest idea of what I could do to him and that slut, if by chance I found the two of them together?
My family's power is hundred time greater than his. For his business to continue excelling, he needs our alliance. Did he forget all this?
Even if our marriage was solely based on business terms and profit and our love life wasn't on any base, he still didn't have the right to cheat on me, to worsen it, he chose to commit such act with an ordinary maid, right under the same building.
I walked closer and closer to the room, but I took light steps, in order not to arouse any noise whatsoever. Getting them informed that I was here, could give them the opportunity to come up with a good lie to tell
Without counting or hesitating, I pushed the door open.
My eyes widened in uttermost surprise, I couldn't believe what I just saw.
"How can you barge into my room without knocking?" Quinn asked me.
She was standing with a towel wrapped around her, her whole body was dripping wet, which only meant that she just had her shower. She also seemed to be on a phone call when I barged into her room.
"Miss Kathleen do you need anything?" She asked again.
I shut my eyes tight, trying to process everything.
"Is Henry in here?" I asked.
She gave me a confused look. "No. Why would you ask me such a question?"
The way she replied was enough to prove that she wasn't lying but for some reason, I wasn't really convinced.
I raised my phone to my face and dialed Henry's number. As the call went through, I looked around, waiting patiently for his phone to ring out and expose him but it didn't.
Finally I accepted that Henry wasn't in here, I looked at Quinn and noticed that her eyes was shut tightly, which felt a bit unusual.
"Is there a problem?"
"Of course not," she answered with ease.
There was no need to remain inside this room since Henry wasn't in here. I still had to find him and find out how I slept off in his room. I also needed to find out why he left my call unanswered.
If we're going to become a couple, then at least we should start now to make it work out.
Even if our marriage is based on business purposes, I still had a liking for Henry. He was among the top handsome men in the city, having to get married to him would make me more superior to the thousand women seeking for his attention..
I smiled at her, then I turned around to leave. Just as I was about to move out of her room, my eyes got hold of the curtain, it was shaking in a strange way.
Was Henry hiding behind those curtains?
