Beneath Her Bastard Boss

Chapter 11 noveldrama

Twenty minutes later, Peters arrived to collect Blair.

“You know this isn’t necessary. I could just call down and make sure Dan is working today. Once I know the coast is clear, make a run for the apartment and clear everything out.” Blair felt uncomfortable standing in the living area of Roman’s apartment, in yesterday’s clothes and no underwear under the watchful eyes of Roman’s head of security. There was no way she would wear dirty underwear, and she definitely wouldn’t wear wet underwear if she

washed them,

Roman pulled on his suit jacket. “I’m not having you go there alone, Blair. End of discussion.”

Arrogant ass. But it gave her a secret little thrill that he cared about it, Blair thought before saying aloud. “Dan has never hurt me, well physically, at least. I’m perfectly safe.”

Roman finished with his jacket and walked over to her. He obviously didn’t care that Peters was watching because he leaned down and took her mouth in a hungry demand. Shocking Blair by the intense kiss in front of his man. By the time he pulled away. She was breathless and a little embarrassed.

Peters, though, wasn’t paying any attention, only looking their way when Roman stepped up to him. “Take care of her and don’t let her out of your sight.”

“No problem, boss,” Peters replied.

*Behave and do everything Peters tells you.” Was his last comment before leaving the apartment.

“What the hell have I gotten myself into?” Blair said to the room.

“Sorry?” Peters asked.

Blair looked at Roman’s head of security. He was large and built with muscles. “Nothing. Just questioning my sanity. Should we go?”

A short time later, Blair let them into her place… No, her old place now. After today, she would never come back here. Blair turned to Peters once they stood in the entry. “You can wait in the sitting room if you like while I go and pack up my room. I shouldn’t be long.”

“Is there anyone else in the apartment?” Peters asked.

Blair shrugged. It sounded quiet, but it wasn’t the first time Laura had slept late. Burning the candle at both ends. “My cousin could still be asleep.”

Looking up the stairs, she said to Peters. “My cousin is a drama queen, not a fighter. I’ll be safe if she is here. I’ll need you if my ex, Dan, shows up.”

She saw a frown appear on his face, not liking her upstairs alone. “Look, I don’t need you watching me while I pack up my underwear. I’ll scream if I need you, ok.” Blair didn’t give him time to reply before heading up the stairs.

When she got to the top of the stairs, she didn’t rush to her room, just in case. What if Laura, or worse yet Dan, was still in her bed? Blair couldn’t see into Laura’s room. The door was shut.

Shit. Looking towards her own door. Blair took a few silent steps to her room. Hers wasn’t closed, only pulled to. Taking a deep breath. Blair pushed the door open all the way. Relief flooding her when finding the room empty.

Not wasting anytime Blair entered the room, grabbing her two suitcases she hadn’t left at the office. That stopped her in her tracks. She had left her small travel case at the office last night. When Roman had carried her into his private lift, she hadn’t even thought about it. She would have had one extra set of clean clothes because they had come home a day early.

Shrugging, it was too late now. She was here. She might as well get it done.

Opening the cases on the bed, Blair pulled open the wardrobe and just took the clothes out in bunches, not even removing them from the hangers. Then folded them straight into the cases. She had been at it for a few minutes when she heard a noise at the door. Looking up, she saw Laura leaning against the doorframe.

“So you’re leaving?” Laura’s tone was bitter.

Talk about stating the obvious. Blair went back to packing, trying to ignore her cousin. “I wouldn’t have guessed what i was doing hard you not told mel

“Blair… You have to know we love each other. This wasn’t personal.”

That stopped Blair packing for a moment to look at Laura. “Then Dan should have ended things with me first, Laura”

“He didn’t know how. His mum…“.

His mum didn’t like Laura. Had never liked her. Laura even had a reputation that Dan’s mother, Paula, Had been aware of Hard not to when the whole town knew. The problem with growing up in a small town everyone knew your business. “That’s not my problem.”

Blair wasn’t even sure why they were having this conversation. Laura was an innately selfish person. So she must want something. “What do you want, Laura?”

Blair saw the calculating look that entered Laura’s eyes before she had a chance to mask it. Her next words proved to Blair that Laura was out for herself.

“I need you to break it off with Dan. Let mum, dad and Dan’s mum think it was you that ended things.” Laura told her.

Blair put a hand on her hip. “Why would I do that?” But she could guess. If Laura or Dan fessed up to what they had been up to behind Blair’s back. It

would put them both in a bad light.

“Because we need for you to say you ended it and really, by you packing, you are. Dan didn’t say anything about ending your engagement, and you did say it yesterday. We just need you to tell the families you broke things off, but not why.”

No, he hadn’t. if anything, he tried to explain everything away as nothing. “Laura, Dan ended things with me the moment he put his dick inside you. You and he may have loose morals, but I don’t.”

“You fucking bitch.” Laura took a step towards her.

“Come on, do it.” Blair’s tone stopped Laura in her forward movement. “The mood I’m in, I would wipe the floor with you.”

Laura went pale. “You can’t I’m pregnant.”
