Chapter 19: Chapter 18

"I don't want to work for you." Stacey said.

A muscle jerked in Nick's jaw. He is trying hard not to show his annoyance. "Why not?"

She also crossed her arms in front of her chest. She looks defiant. "I have my reasons."

She looks even prettier when she in a fight mode which made Nick frown.

SHIT! Brace yourself Alcantara...she will not make this easy. He told himself.

"I want to hear your reasons." he said in a cold voice . He came closer to her.

Stacey wants to take a step back but she chose not to. He might think that she is intimidated by him. Their faces are probably just more or less twelve inches apart. She has her head raised to look into his eyes. He is so tall. She is not short but the top of her head is just a little above his lower lip.

"I want to keep them to myself." she said in a cold voice.

This man is really infuriating! His face is thicker than a hardbound book! Stacey thought.
