Hollywood Zenith

But the most puzzling thing was they let their presence known; it was not a simple matter when he thought that an organization so hidden was uncovered in a measly embezzlement case. No matter which angle Samuel thought about it, it was suspicious.

" It could be a trap, or we got lucky?" Samuel decided to make some preparation in advance. There was a grudge between them, and they would never take it lying down.

Regardless, it was not the time for him to think about such matters. Samuel entered the room while thinking about it; he found that Mayra still slept soundly on the bed.

Her alluring naked body was on full display, so he had to control himself as he tried to wake her. He sensed slight movement and knew she was awake.

" How long are you going to pretend? What about work?" Samuel got closer and whispered in her ears, making her tremble.

" I was not pretending, just seeing if you are going to assault a helpless woman or not!" She said bluntly, picking herself up. She didn\'t even care to cover herself as she looked seductively at Samuel.

" Now is not time to worry about that. You don\'t want anyone to find out about it right? Dress up!" Samuel was more worried about her husband finding it out prematurely.

" Is that so? But I am feeling sore all over my body. I can\'t seem to get up." She laid down again, acting tired. She covered her face but propped up her lower body, exposing herself indecently in front of him.

" You- It seems like I have to teach you another lesson." Samuel lightly smacked her butt a few times, but instead of shouting, she moaned seductively with his every hit.

" Ah ah ah."

" Why are you enjoying this?" Samuel stopped his actions. He was acting aloof, but he saw another side of her.

" Don\'t worry about that, spare me few minutes. We should finish what we started last night." She grabbed him as they both tumbled on the bed. She gave him a kiss before asking him.

" I can\'t, it\'s-" She stopped him from speaking by touching his lips. She was a little aggressive, but soon both found their harmony. They kissed for a few minutes before parting, with her looking at him lovingly. Seeing her, Samuel knew her feeling was more than sexual, but at the same time, he felt conflicted.

" I know what you want to say, but I also wanted to tell you something. It\'s that-" Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Samuel was thankful that he locked it before entering, but they didn\'t have much time.

  " Go to the washroom, I will hold them off." Samuel said quietly. Mayra didn\'t know why he was so restless, but she followed his advice.

Samuel opened the door, and two people stood outside, the old woman from before and Elise, who seemed to be just woken up.

" Where is she? How could she let a child alone in the room?" The old woman was angry at Mayra\'s behaviour. She found Elise wandering around in the kitchen; she didn\'t even know a little girl was living in the house!

" I am sorry, she is in the restroom. As I said we had a little too much last night." Samuel laughed awkwardly, downplaying the situation, but what surprised him was the housemaid\'s attitude; she was scolding Mayra like she was her own daughter? They must be close.

" Hah, tell her to be careful. Also I placed the food on the table, eat it before it gets cold.I will be back in the evening." She left, seeing that Elise was already in Samuel\'s arms.

" Thank you." Samuel didn\'t see her off but went inside to look for Mayra.

" Is she gone? She didn\'t see anything right?" She asked hurriedly.  I think you should take a look at

" I don\'t think so, but who is she?"

" That-, that\'s my landlady! She often comes here to cook meal for us." Samuel knew she was lying but let her off, seeing it was something she didn\'t want to tell him.

" Let\'s head down and eat first. Elise are you hungry?" Samuel asked Elise, who was still dozing off in his arms. She gave him a cheerful smile, and he knew it was a yes.

" I can\'t; I am already late for work! I am sorry, but I need to change!" Mayra rushed out of the door. She was planning to take a day off but forgot she had an important meeting today.

" Wait! What about Elise?" Samuel asked.

" I am sorry but can you take care of her today too? I can call someone but she seemed very attached to you already." Mayra stopped and apologized for springing the responsibility on him.

" But I have to prepare for the interview."

" Let\'s ask her directly. Elise, do you want to stay with me or Sami?" Mayra left it to the little girl, knowing what she would choose.

Elise hugged Samuel\'s neck and gave him a light kiss on the cheek; Samuel was hesitant, but looking at her innocent smile, he had no choice but to accept it. He wouldn\'t stay in Paris for long, so spoiling Elise in the future would be difficult.

There was also a chance of Elise getting attached to him deeply, but he could circumvent it by teaching her personally. And who\'s to say she was not already too far gone? It could impede her recovery if he neglected her carelessly.

" It\'s settled then, I will see you in evening. I will take my own car so you don\'t need to pick me up today." Mayra went inside her room to get ready.

Samuel and Elise went downstairs to eat. First, he pampered her by feeding her with his own hand, and within twenty minutes, Mayra came downstairs wearing her office suit, looking totally different from her morning dishevelled persona.

" Why are you staring at me like that?" She asked, feeling his intense gaze on her body.

" I was wondering, how can someone like you look so responsible?" Samuel joked.

" Che! I was a fool expecting your compliment." She grumbled.

" Me too, I can\'t believe I am letting you go like this", Samuel stood up," I want to eat you up so badly right now." He whispered the next word directly in her ear.

She grabbed him and gave him a deep kiss; it was not a peck on the lips but full of tongue action. When they eventually separated, there was a deep stain of lipstick around Samuel\'s mouth.

" Be a good boy and wait for me tonight. I will not let you off so easily this time." She said sweetly with resolve, but her face was flushed, making a completely different meaning of her words.

" As you wish," Samuel said and saw her walk toward the door shaking her hips on purpose. She looked back and gave him a charming smile before leaving. He looked down and saw Elise was engrossed in eating her good meal.

" I fucking did it again! Maybe I should just bail before anything else happens." Samuel sighed. His actions didn\'t match her words, but Mayra had always been a tough opponent to go up against. He would put her up there with Maia\'s cunningness!
