The Billionaire and His PA novel Chapter 29

Neither Felix nor Rose understood what Cassie had meant when she said that she had been in a much worse hostage situation and neither of them asked her about it.

Without any help from Felix, Cassie stood up from the ground and dusted herself off. Felix was in no way obligated to help her to her feet. He had cleaned up her wound. But then again, he was indirectly the reason she had the wound in the first place.

“It shouldn’t scar and even if it does, I don’t think it would be that bad,” Rose assured as she led Cassie toward her chair. “But I’d advise that you keep it moisturized once it heals properly. Use vitamin E and aloe vera gel and you should be fine. Do you understand?” She asked, stroking the back of Cassie’s hand; a gesture that made Cassie think of her own late mother.

Cassie almost nodded but then she remembered the terrible pain she had experienced the last time she had done that and decided to go for a verbal reply. “Yes. Thank you for all your help. And sorry about your dog sculpture.” She apologized profusely. The sculpture was a beautiful one and that much Cassie could tell even as it was broken. It was a shame she hadn’t noticed it before.

Rose waved Cassie off. “You don’t have to thank me as I didn’t do anything that special. It’s just a band-aid, my dear.” She assured, tapping Cassie’s nose. “And there’s no need to apologize about Sir Robert’s sculpture. Worst case scenario, my daughter, Amy, will make me another one. Oh, you should see some of her other works. I think I have some of the pictures of them on my phone.” She declared as she began to search her purse, which was really the largest handbag Cassie had ever seen, for said phone. “My Amy wants to be a paleontologist, you know? And she’s such a smart girl so it wouldn’t be a problem for her at all.” She bragged.

Behind them, Felix groaned. “Please Rose, let Miss Peters rest. Don’t harass her with pictures of Amy and tales of her many accomplishments.” Felix pleaded. “Miss Peters has had a hectic day and I need her in optimal working condition as work is not over for the day. She still has many errands to run today.”

Even though Cassie could feel the beginnings of a splitting headache coming on, she didn’t think that she would mind being ‘harassed’ with pictures and stories of Rose’s daughter. As a fellow ‘mum’ herself, she knew how much of a serotonin boost it was to show off pictures of the twins and their accomplishments to anyone who cared to see and she wasn’t about to deprive Rose of that joy. If she was being honest with herself, the only thing that she had minded was the fact that the only reason Felix wanted Rose to give her time to rest was so that he could continue to send her on errands the second she got better. What an inconsiderate asshole! He couldn’t even let her have the rest of the day off seeing as it was his crazy fling – or whatever the hell Sapphire was to him – that had assaulted her.
