Mr. President’s 27



Chapter 27

Griffin has been upset ever since Mercedes left. He hasn’t been able to contain his anger, even when he was with Penelope. He couldn’t imagine Mercedes gracing a man’s bed for a whole week. The mere thought put his brain to third gear.

He hit the wall several times, his knuckles hurt. He was happy Penelope had left to attend to some family matters so he wouldn’t be disturbed. He was worried about Mercedes for the fact that he couldn’t reach her. Angie was least anxious and had made breakfast, thereby taking it to Griffin’s room, which was now cleaned and looked inviting

“I’m not hungry Angie,” Griffin said as soon as the door pushed open, as he moved from the wall, laying on his bed facing the wall that had a picture of him and Mercedes surfing. Posted on his walls were cut out pictures of his role models, pictures of his family, Angie and Penelope but the most dominant were that of him and Mercedes together. The appearance of the room looked like that of a teenager. This was the first time he’s been far from Mercedes in years and despite Angie’s company, he felt lonely and missed his best friend.

“Yes you are and if you are beating yourself up because of Merce, then bear in mind that she’s having fun. From all that’s happening between her and her boss, they are both happy Angie said unfazed. From her experience, she knew that two people couldn’t get intimate without any emotional connection. For as long as there was a little spark between Mercedes and her boss, it could grow into a much bigger one.

“How can you even think like this, Angie.” Griffin didn’t hide his disappointment but Angie was getting tired of his nagging.

“Come on, you left her alone at the club when your precious little girlfriend dared her to kiss a stranger. Weren’t you worried then? Her tone was sarcastic and she did not attempt to maim it.

“It was only supposed to be a kiss,” Griffin was defensive, his back turned to Angie, who placed the tray on the bed.

“And it led to something else so don’t blame her. Besides, he paid for Oliver’s treatment and Auntic Celestine says he also bought them a house” Griffin turned around and sat up. He was even

was even more worried. Now, he was beginning to wonder whether his discomfort about Nathan being around Mercedes was because he thought he was going to hurt her or purely based on care. Or, was he afraid that Nathan was going to replace him in the life of Mercedes and her family? That was too much for him to bear. Besides, his inability to compete with Nathan financially, got him depressed. “He even introduced himself to them? He furrowed his brow and asked.

“No, she said Mercedes came to visit with Nathan and even though Nathan hadn’t told her and made everything anonymous, she strongly believes it’s him because he was so protective of Mercedes when they got there and went to enquire about Oliver’s condition, making provision for any future problems to be taken care of without involving Merce. What else can he do to let you know that he cares for her?” Angie shrugged. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“A care that would hurt her in future. Isn’t that what women want? A man appears so nice and kind, wins their heart and the next time, they meet a prettier one and it ends in heartbreak, Griffin said. He still couldn’t accept that Nathan genuinely cared for Mercedes.

What if he loves her!” Angie folded her arms to her chest and asked solemnly.

“Don’t give me that look. Nathan is used to getting what he wants, when and how he wants it. He doesn’t know what love is.” Griffin explained “Even if he leaves her, that will be his loss. Mercedes is wonderful. She would get someone better.” Angie was most certain on that.

Griffin couldn’t find any comfort in anything Angie said and found a way to get rid of her. “I want to sleep, he laid back on the bed with his back turned to Angie.

“I’m not leaving

aving till you finish this food. I worked hard to cook it for you.” Angie said adamantly

Just like Mercedes, Angle would not give up till he ate and he knew it. He lifted himself and sat close to her, picking the tray of toast, bacon and baked beans with coffee. “Fine, I’ll eat. It’s just that I passed two interviews and will be going for the final one. It’s the first time I got and the first time I was treated with respect. Mercedes stood by me through all the bad times and I wanted her to be the first to hear it,” he

this opportunity remorsefully said.

“Then let me be the first to congratulate you. But I think you should be happy for Mercedes. You have a girlfriend and you are happy but not all relationships begin on a cheerful note. There is hope for things to turn around,” she tried to assure him but Griffin was bent on his opinion

“I know but this is Nathan we are talking about. Mercedes deserves a good man to marry her and have lots of kids. That’s her dream because she used to tell me. But Nathan? Does he look like a person who would settle down? All he has on his mind is business. Well, that’s good but also terrible. He will hurt her. I can feel it in my bones,” Griffin could not let things slide. Nathan’s name was like venom in his blood

“Now stop being pessimistic and keep those negative thoughts to yourself. On the contrary, if there is anyone to make him settle down, that would be Mercedes Angie gave him an assuring smile before she continued, “Let’s just watch. He might just be trapped in his own game,” the corner of her lips curled slightly.

“So, why haven’t you reported to work?” Griffin changed the topic and asked while munching his toast since he couldn’t convince Angie that Nathan wastit right for Mercedes

Angie shrugged. “I took my first day off because of you. Men, you look like you are going to die any minute. Rest assured, I’m going to work tomorrow so you better behave yourself,” she warned him solemnly.

“That makes me the only lazy person right?” Griffin said in a depressed tone while he ate faster than usual. He hadn’t realized how hungry he was till he took the first bite.

“Didn’t you say that you have another interview? You will start working soon,” Angie encouraged him.

“That’s in two weeks.”

“So make yourself useful till then. If I may ask, what does Penelope do!”

Griffin froze at the question, then said after a long pause. “She helps with her mother’s supermarket sometimes but aside from that, she doesn’t have a permanent job. Well, she’s had a few through her father’s connections but got fired, he let out a frustrated sigh.

“Why?”

Griffin most certainly didn’t want to talk about Penelope but this was Angie. She wouldn’t back down with her questions till she was satisfied with the answers he gave. “She’s lazy. Yes, I know all that but I love her okay?”

Angie was slightly jealous. Love could be very stupid. She saw all the negatives in Penelope and thought that Griffin hadn’t seen them but this showed he did but turned a blind eye because he loved her that much. “Where did you meet her?”

“At the club. A one night stand and she blew my brains off Griffin bloomed as soon as he recalled their one night stand encounter.

Angle could understand that Griffin was talking about sex. With her level of experience, she would rather pick a good character than good sex. T can see your brains are still invisible whenever she is around you” she said in honesty. Griffin let out a small smile,

“Come on. Angie, don’t be mean.”

“I’m just stating the facts here” She could swear she saw Griffin blush at her candid words.

Mercedes found herself on Nathan’s laps in the jet, on their way to Nevada instead of spending the night in Spain as they planned previously. Nathan didn’t think it was worth wasting any more time. Since it was an eleven hours journey, he had enough time to play around, instructing the hostess to not come in. He had to make good use of his time. Two days were gone and he couldn’t get enough of her. The more he got, the more he wanted.

“We are visiting the mines in Nevada. I thought it would be better if we complete all the meetings before going back to relax at the beach house,” he

stated

Tagree,” Mercedes smiled at him. She was getting comfortable on his lap now and didn’t feel awkward even though he still gave her shivers. Nathan noticed the red handprint on her face, his countenance darkened instantly. A frown lined the corners of his eyes. Those girls will pay he convinced himself

He held Mercedes by the chin, his gaze boring into hers as he said, “If you ever try to protect anyone who abuses you what happened this morning will repeat itself, and even worse. What I mean is, I won’t take it kindly. Do I make myself clear?”

Mercedes turned her neck to the side, only to be shifted back to face Nathan with a stronger grip that made her unable to move this time. I said, do I make myself clear? Nathan repeated, this time sternly.

“I already took my revenge,” she said in a pleading tone.

“It wasn’t enough. There are still handprints on your face and I don’t like it. I won’t tolerate anyone disrespecting you for whatever reason. Do I make myself clear?” His voice was icy, Mercedes shifted uncomfortably.

“Perfectly clear but If it worries you that much, I will cover it with a concealer, she suggested when Nathan loosened his grip on her chin.

“Who wears a concealer to sleep?” He was already unbuttoning her shirt as he asked. Mercedes shivered slightly when she recalled what happened in the morning. Nathan noticed her discomfort and said,

“I won’t hurt you. He pulled her trouser down after removing her shirt, leaving her in her bra and pants while he admired her form.

Herb

Mercedes was uneasy

body reacted to him and she was already wet but she just feared that perhaps, he might lose control again. “Can I take my shower before anything?” She tried to distort the hony moment for Nathan but unfortunately, Nathan had other plans.

“I want it now,” he firmly said,

I feel sticky y alter the light and all. I will be quick, she tried to convince him, which worked. Nathan allowed her in an

joined her. Mercedes’s heart thumped, and she felt the temperature of the shower turn too hot with Nathan’s presence.

“Why are you avoiding me?” He asked, noticing her discomfort at the sight of him.

I’m not,” she faced him and said boldly.

“Then be still.” She felt her muscles tighten when Nathan turned off the faucet and began kissing the droplets of water on her skin. He made sure to not kiss her on the lips, trailing his hands over her body. Mercedes felt tinges in her body, grabbing hold of Nathan’s firm muscles and pulling him closer, as she moaned with pleasure.

His finger rubbed the entrance of the pussy, pushing gently. Mercedes whimpered, opening her legs wider. He added another finger, thrusting in and out of her, making her muscles tense, as she trembled from her release.

Nathan allowed the warm water to wash both of them and after that, they dried themselves and slept on the convertible bed in each other’s arms. He will give her tonight to recover because he won’t go easy on her for the remaining days since she wasn’t ready to give him any extensions. Nathan will get the value for all he spent on her but will it be enough to keep him satisfied after their one week was over!
