Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 240

230-Sell Yourself "Anyway, keep the phone. It will help you connect with Zane," he said in a bit of a sad tone.

The silence remained between US for a few seconds, during which we only heard each other's restless breaths.

"I will go now. I have to take orders," I excused softly and hung up on him. I didn't enjoy treating him this way, but his constant denial of letting me see Helel had irked me.

The rest of the day was tiring.

I finally called Zane to tell him I wouldn’t be able to meet him today, but now we were arguing about even more stuff.

"So, Akin gave you this phone?" he asked. I could hear a little complaint in his tone. But I understood why he was feeling this way.

"Yeah! He wanted to make sure I was settling well in my new home. But I told him now I have you, so he doesn’t have to worry about me," I comforted him, and in response, he wheezed.

"I was going to gift you one. Why did Akin give you a phone?* he asked, still sounding very upset.

"I told you already, Zane." I answered, "Okay, listen, I called you to let you know I am unable to come meet you today. I'm so sorry but the workload is heavy today," I excused, not wanting to tell him anything about Pamela being difficult.

I didn't want to use Zane and his status to bend the rules of my workplace. Since Maura and Pamela would stay here for lunch, I decided to do that too.

"Ugh! Do you want me to come and help you?" As he asked, I couldn't help but let out a little laugh. "I'm not joking. I can work," he sounded playfully offended.

"Really? Do tell me what work you can do," I shrugged, my lip curling upward to form a teasing smile.

"I can give a shower to the dishes," he answered very sweetly. I bet he pouted, too.

"Or we can—," he continued to talk, but I knew where he was going with his comment.

No! thank you. I can shower myself." I instantly shut him down with a playful grunt.

Maura walked into the kitchen with the dirty plates and passed me a smile.

"Talking to your boyfriend?" she teased, making me blush even harder.

"Anyway, thank you for informing me. I would have been waiting the whole day if I hadn't heard from you. I'll go now. Take care, okay?" Zane almost instantly wanted to end the call, but I don't blame him. He has a lot of work to do.

"Okay! Take care,’ I said and heard him hang up first.

"I can assure you of your safety and excellent support, but on one condition only," she uttered, looking confident about her claims.

"And what would that be?" I asked, knowing she was going to say something that would make my life restless.

My son has found some interest in you. And since you are already staying in our home, I don’t think it’s inappropriate for me to suggest—" she took a pause and I wish she hadn't continued after that, "you sleep with him and help him with his sexual frustration,"

My reaction was explosive. I glared at her and wheezed, but it didn't warn her.

"If you cannot do that, tell your mother to cook for herself and don’t expect me to help you two in any other way," she warned me after she noticed how offended I looked at her offer.

"You want me to sell myself to your son for some chores?" I muttered in disbelief, feeling disgusted and humiliated.

"It's up to you to take it, however. You can call it anything, I’ll call it my concern for my son. It’s because of your arrival that he is now sexually frustrated, so take responsibility for your wrongdoings," she scoffed as she called my existence a wrongdoing.

That's all I did.

I never seduced him or anything.
