"Relax!" He kept stealing concerned glances at her. Aniya was staring at her painted nails-- courtesy of Emma.
Suddenly another male hand, appeared on her lap that was larger than hers. It grabbed both her hands in one and squeezed them, "Why are you so scared of Paige," he asked casually, "Does she bully you?"
Aniya’s eyes darted to his face where she could see worry lines on his forehead. He had even slowed the car.
"N-no... we aren’t kindergarten kids, George," she patted his hand and tried to laugh it off.
Yes, Paige was a bully, but Aniya wanted to tackle her, herself. George wasn’t her daddy.
"If she bullies you... or anyone bullies you, let me know," his eyes were now straight ahead at the road.
Aniya’s brows knitted in unease, "What will you do? Punish them?" she giggled again but he was still serious, "Maybe," he shrugged.
"What do you mean maybe!" she mimicked his style with a teasing chuckle. But something about the way he looked at her, made the humor slip from her lips.
Against all her expectations, without uttering another word, he slowed the car and then pulled over on the side of the road.
The click of his seatbelt unfastening was the only sound in the silence of the car. He turned towards her, his full attention locked on her like a force of a magnet, she couldn’t escape.
"If Paige... or anyone else... messes with you..." she saw his fingers drumming on the steering wheel, "They are done!" he said silkily in a low voice
For a moment Aniya thought she had misheard him. He had been so gentle with her, so this tone felt almost unfamiliar.
"I won’t tolerate it!"
She blinked again at his bluntness, there was no hesitation or no friendliness in his tone. He wasn’t teasing her.
He meant it!
Aniya’s heart did a strange flip, "You can’t be serious!" she whispered more to herself, "You will fire your employee just like that?"
"Just like that, Anaya," George held her gaze, "In a heartbeat."

Paige had seen what she wanted to see just an hour back. Her heart was burning with jealousy. Such a shameless bitch Anaya was.
She was sitting in the hostel’s living room with a bitter smile. The carefree chattering of all the girls was giving her a headache.
Her gaze fell on the corner of the room where Emma was applying fresh nail paint while Olivia was busy scrolling her phone.
What has gotten into Mr. George Donovan? Why is he so caring towards her? What is going on between them?
"Paige! You alright?" Her friend asked her, and Paige just closed her eyes, her face set in a blank expression. She wasn’t in the mood to engage in any conversation.
"Should we bring you some tea or coffee?" Another one asked her in concern, but Paige didn’t open her eyes.
She needed to think about this mess Anaya was creating in her life. Paige had stayed close to George unlike other employees and still he never even glanced her way.
The maid was taking benefit of it.
She abruptly bolted up from the couch and dialed a number on her phone. Her friends thought she was acting strange because just a few minutes back she didn’t even want to look at their faces.
"Paige. Is something wrong?"
They asked her but instead of answering, Paige just raised her finger, asking them silently to wait. With her phone glued to her ear, she walked out of the living room.
Once she was outside, she spoke into her phone, "Ariel? Ms. Ariel Sinclair. I need to talk to you."
After the call, Paige had a wicked smile on her face, "Anaya Jakes. I know you and I know the mentality of the girls like you. You seem fond of flying and I know how to clip your wings." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

I was into the story but then the translator who was translating it for whatever language to English stopped translating half the words are half English and another language it's very hard to follow a book when you can't understand what the written word is translators need to do better...
