Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

I couldn’t believe Ryan brought a stripper to his house. I mean, what did he expect? That I’ll get jealous? Well, he was right. I was jealous. But why? It’s not like we were together or anything.

Then perhaps it was not jealousy at all. What I was feeling was anger towards him and his behavior.

“Sherry, can you bring us some drinks?” Ryan asked, interrupting my thoughts.

I tried to hide my emotions and put on a fake smile. “Sure thing.”

As I walked to the kitchen, I could hear Ryan and Rose laughing and chatting on the couch. At first, I tried not to think anything of it, assuming they were just having a friendly conversation.

But as I continued to listen, I realized that their conversation had taken a flirty turn. They were teasing each other and making suggestive comments, and it made me feel uncomfortable. I couldn’t help but wonder if they were crossing a line.

I debated whether to interrupt them or just let it go, but eventually, I decided to speak up. I walked into the living room and cleared my throat, making them both jump.

“Uh, hi Sherry,” Ryan said, looking up. “What’s up?”

“I just wanted to remind you guys that I’m still in the room,” I said, trying to keep my tone light. “Maybe take it down a notch?”

Rose blushed and looked away, and Ryan apologized, but I could tell they were both a little disappointed that I had interrupted their flirting. I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty for ruining their fun, but at the same time, I knew it was the right thing to do.

They were apparently having a good time.

But it made me sick to my stomach.

“Why am I getting jealous?” I mutter to myself going back to the kitchen, as I pour the drinks.

“Did you say something, Sherry?” Ryan asks, walking into the kitchen.

“No, just talking to myself,” I say, forcing another smile. He came right up behind me and was trying to grab something from on top of the top shelf. I was in between him and the kitchen table so naturally I was squeezed.

I could feel that he was hard. And it was the effect Rose was having on him.

That mere thought made me want to tear up.

But I was angry. I was not tearing up for something so silly.

I failed to understand my stupid sentiment. Like why was I feeling anything for that arrogant, rude and dangerous boss of mine?

Why was his personal life having any effect on me?

I was just there at his house to do my job. That was my purpose.

Ryan gave me a look, like he knew something was up, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he took the drinks and headed back to Rose. On the couch.

I couldn’t stand it anymore. I needed to talk to him.

“Can I talk to you for a minute?” I asked, following him to the living room.

“Sure, what’s up?” Ryan says, sitting down on the couch next to Rose.

“I don’t understand why you brought her here. Is it normal for strippers to walk around your place with a kid in the household? ” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.

Ryan looked at me with a mixture of surprise and concern. “Sherry, why would I have to answer any of your questions? You’re just my servant.”

I felt a pang in my chest at his words, but I tried to keep my composure. “I don’t know, Ryan. It just seems like you’re trying to get a reaction out of me.”

I called him by his first name and I was also demanding.

It felt natural to put my claim on him. On his body. I failed to understand why I was being so hormonal. Was my period pending?

I had forgotten all about it?

There was too much going on in my life to keep track of my monthly cycles.

Ryan sighs and puts his arm around me. “Look, Sherry. I know I can be tough on you sometimes, but it’s only because I care. You’re more than just my maid. You’re my personal property, and I don’t want to scold you in front of others. It would be best if you could just retreat to your room for the night along with Bellow. I just want to spend some adult time with Rose here.”

I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I leaned out of Ryan’s embrace. ” I just don’t understand why you have to be like this with me.”

Ryan pulls away and looks at me with a serious expression.

“I don’t understand, Ryan. I don’t understand. ”

I kept mumbling as I walked away as if I was stunned.

Ryan took my hands and looked into my eyes. “Go get some sleep. You worked hard today. ”

I felt a warmth spreading through my body as I realized what Ryan was saying.

Was he appreciating me? My hard labor? Did I ought to be grateful?

Ryan let go of me right at that juncture and pulled Rose into a kiss, and I felt like my heart was going to explode. Everything else faded away . I was unable to express my true feelings.

My heart felt like it had been ripped out of my chest. Seeing Ryan and Rose kiss had left me feeling completely heartbroken and confused.

I knew that there was nothing between us but seeing him with someone else like that had still hurt me so much. I couldn’t help but wonder if there was something I could have done differently to make him see me in a different way.

I felt like I had lost something that I never even had to begin with. It was a confusing and painful feeling that I couldn’t seem to shake off.

I knew I shouldn’t have felt that way, but my emotions were just all over the place right at that moment. Seeing Ryan and Rose together had made me realize that I cared about him, even if I hated him. It was a bittersweet realization that I was not sure how to deal with.

To be honest, it was derogatory.
