Chapter 4
Sigyn is quiet but Loki could sense the raging storm coming soon after such a silence. She is angry, frustrated and not accepting Loki's help in any matter.
Why am I worried about her?
One night, he was talking to Thor over phone.
"So she just walked away like I was not standing there. She should have asked me if I am ok or not. I was going to die"
"By choking on water, right?" Thor is mockingly.
"Point is not that what I was choking on. The point is she is not herself anymore. She observe each and every detail but for her not to notice me, it's something deep. Very very deep" He took a bite of his apple. "And I can't stop eating. Thinking about her actually making me more and more hungry"
"Loki, don't get distracted. Your job is to get the papper. She is ignoring you or paying attention, it doesn't matter. You know why father sent you because you know how to manipulate people and get your thing out of their mouth. Should I be worried that you just speak about her on and on from last like one hour?"
Loki remained silent. He was debating why he is acting like a stupid teenage girl who is being ignored by her dashing but unfaithful boyfriend. Finally he changed the direction where his thoughts were going. "Oh, I thought father chose me because I am dashing and heartthrobbing and only I can get under the skin of world fashion icon Sigyn Iwaldi and then break her from inside"
"We don't want to take it in emotional direction, brother. Just get the pappers" He ended the call.
What is happening to me? Ok, right, all I need is someone to lay with right now. That's it.
He called a girl and spend weekend on the bed with her.
Is Sigyn effect gone from his mind? Maybe not. Maybe yes. Who knows?
~
Days passed, Sigyn didn't order or insult or said even a single word to him. Somehow, Loki has already started feeling uncomfortable. He wants her to say something, anything, may be insult or may be bitter words. So he walked to her table and wrote SORRY on papper and slide it towards her.
She read it and asked "have I told you anything?"
He took a chair. "No but I know you are upset with me. I just... I just want you to talk" Darling. What??? You are calling her darling in your mind.
"I don't want to talk about anything I have work to do" After a pause she said "And this is not a park where you are passing chits like a flithy lover would. This is a business company, we have formal relationship. Keep it that way. Don't try to do this friendship thing here. I am your boss and you are my pet and nothing's going to change it"
That made Loki angry. "I am not your pet and I am not owned by you. I just wanted to make things right between us but all you are doing is make things difficult between us. What have I ever did to you?"
Sigyn stood up and calmly walked towards him. He could see her jaw clenching. Loki could feel his heart sinking with fear. She stood near his chair and lift his chin to meet his gaze. "Did you just yell at me?"
She rotate his chair towards her and leaned forward until they were face to face. "If you want to resign after this I would galdly accept that but no one has ever yelled at me" She squeezed his jaw with her tight gripping. "How dare you yell at me?"
"I am sorry"
She loosen her grip. "Just keep on saying that and I might change my mind of punishing you"
"I am sorry" Loki was disturbed, embarassed and somehow liking this all. Atleast she is talking to me. Let her frustration come out.
"for what?" She asked.
"For yelling at you"
"Hmm, what else?"
"What else?" Loki asked questionably.
"What were you doing with Savannah?"
"She was just talking to me"
She held his jaw again. "You will never laugh in her presence again, you will never talk to her again. Understood?"
"Yes, my lady"
"Not only her, you won't talk to any girl at all"
Loki thought if she would know how he had spent his weekend, she will definitely kill him.
"But my lady, for work"
"Fine. Just don't flirt around with everyone"
"Yes, my lady"
"Now you have two options. Either you will tell everyone that you are my pet. No matter how. I don't know. Or resign... I want either of it done within an hour"
She went to her work again.
~
'By the order of Miss Sigyn Iwaldi, Lionel Levi is her new PET(Person to Encourage and Train). He will take suggestions and complains directly to the boss and your problems will be solved by herself. He also motivate and give training to those who needed help with new changes'
Sigyn walked towards Loki's table. "Your resignation?"
Loki looked up and smiled. "Oh I think everyone knows by now that I am your new pet, my lady"
Sigyn frowned confusingly. "You don't feel ashamed saying that?"
"It is my pleasure to pleasure you" he smiled seductively.
"What?"
God, why I like it when she is clueless of my intentions? She looks lovely.
"That's what pets for to do whatever you want" he slowly walked towards her in romantic way and brushed her hairs aside. "Right" He said in a whisper.
She huffed and went out of the room.
~
She read the notice and everyone was calling her secretary, her pet. He is smart. He is very smart she thought. She would never have thought a man could be this smart. Equal parts of her feel angry, impressed, frustrated and proud. All these things for one person.
She walked in the room furiously. "What have I told you?"
"What happened? Has no one read the notice yet?"
"Don't question me. I told you to tell them that you are my pet as if you are below my feet. Who gave you right to appoint yourself as motivator and trainer? How dare you?"
"I am sorry, my lady. You told me that I have to tell everyone that I am your pet. They are calling me your pet. I don't think details matter"
"It matters to me" she came closer to him. "I want to slap your face so hard that you forget how to smile again"
"Please, my lady, tell me why are you so angry?" He was concerned.
She pinned him to wall. "You should be resigning by now, ashamed of being called my pet. I hate your presence"
"Why don't you fire me from job"
"It will be my defeat. And I never loose. You'll resign yourself, your ego will be crushed by me and you'll accept your defeat. You will come crawling to me on your knees telling me that you are embarrassed of being a male. You will loose, pet"
Loki listened her every word with calm mind. He has to be here because he wants to be here. The faces she makes in anger, makes his heart melt. And in that moment he wanted to loose, to fall on knees and give everything to her. She is in pain and Loki knows pain from so long. He knew how it feels like growing up as unfavoured and without love. He wanted to hug her.
"What is annoying you Sigyn?"
She held his neck and chokked him. He struggled in her grip but never tried to fight her. Loki felt his life leaving the body when she left.
"What were you doing with Savannah?"
"Nothing" Loki said panting.
"Do you meet her often? How many times she took you out? How many nights you spend together?" Her questions were coming at crazy speed. He leaned on her shoulder. "Who was with you, last weekend?"
"Don't tell me you have a team keeping eye on me all the time"
"You know I could take your remaining breaths right here"
"I promise, i have not met Savannah without your presence in the room and I have no feeling for girl I was with, this weekend. I was distracting myself from... the workload"
"Next time, when you need rest and feels overloaded, you'll tell me. Understood?"
He nodded. His head was still on her shoulder. Then she walked away fetch a glass of water from the table and gave it to him.
"I am taking you to dinner tonight. I'll pick you up from your apartment"
~
They dine at her house situated near sea. Then they watch stars laying down on chairs in the balcony. Cool wind blows from sea towards them. Loki draw several figures connecting stars. And told Sigyn to do so. She was looking at him constantly until he slid his head so close to touch her and grab her hand to point towards stars and connecting them into shapes or letters.
Soon Sigyn's arm started feeling heavy and her eyelids shut down seconds later. Loki decided to pick her up and take her to bed but he was sure she won't like to be carried to bed like a helpless girl. He snuggled up against her and they slept there.
He can't believe it that she is the same person who insulted him and almost killed him today. She is so confusing but amazing at the same time. Then he thought he could go and search her house for pappers but he didn't want to disturb her and want to enjoy sleeping by her side.
