Mr. President’s 6
Chapter 6
Mercedes’s eyes
burned with fire, as she saw Penelope crouched naked on her knees, her mouth covering Griffin’s dick while he sat on the sofa, pleasure swallowing him, deduced by his loud moans. Her clothes and that of Griffin were scattered all over the floor. Mercedes raged, she felt her body tremble. It wasn’t about what they were doing but rather where it was happening. It was absurd and disgusting, she wanted to gag. Whichever way, she composed herself for the sake of Griffin and tried to walk to her room.
“You are back.” Griffin huffed, while he pushed Penelope away, trying to find something to cover his nakedness.
“Is this what you wanted me to come and see?” Mercedes couldn’t tell which was better. Her home or the room in which she woke up. She pushed her way through the scattered living room, the items she removed from the car scattering on the floor when her grip on them loosened due to the shock.
Griffin saw the shirt and suit Mercedes had picked for him and he felt dire. Mercedes cared so much about him than his so- called girlfriend. She has only demanded from him but never lent him a helping hand. All she was good at was what she was doing on her knees.
I’m sorry,” she insisted. Guilt wove Griffin’s tone. “I swear that as soon as I get a job, I will take up the bills.”
Mercedes paused and stared back at him. “I’m not complaining. Griffin, I don’t mind if you bring her here but let everything be to the confines of your room. Don’t bring it out in the open and don’t plague the living room, that’s all I ask, Mercedes explained curtly. She didn’t approve of him bringing Penelope to her apartment but he was an adult and she couldn’t restrict him because she was paying the bills. She still cared about him and didn’t want him to get depressed.
I promise, this will never happen again. Thanks for the suit. You are the best,” Griffin was wearing his boxer and ambled close to Mercedes to plant a kiss on her cheek but the latter stepped back, his action halted. A sense of embarrassment worked inside of him.
“Take care of your girlfriend, I’ll get some sleep. Mercedes uttered solemnly. She was about to enter her room when she heard a harsh voice.
“Hey, you are back and did you get all those hickeys in just one right?” Penelope had dressed up and stared daringly at her. She overheard Griffin speaking to Mercedes on the phone and did what she did to taunt her. Her loathing for their relationship knew no bounds.
Griffin’s gaze darkened as he caught the Hickey’s scattered on Mercedes’s neck. Guilt hadn’t given him the chance to look closely at her earlier. Anger stared inside of him. “What did he do to you?”
“I’m an adult Griff, I handled it. I need to rest, Mercedes sounded casual but she was still hurting after the day’s encounter. She regretted inviting Griffin to the club but most importantly, she felt that she shouldn’t have gone there.
“Let me make you breakfast okay?” Griffin was trying to do something to wash the guilt he felt but it made Penelope irritated. She realized that the love the two shared was too strong, therefore, she made an excuse,
“I have to go now. My mum just called, she let out casually. A lame excuse because her phone hadn’t rung.
She was aghast when Mercedes blocked her way, “you are not leaving yet. Not until you tell me what you dropped in my drink.”
“Are you hallucinating? What are you talking about?” Penelope tried to play innocent.
“Yeah, what is she talking about? Griffin’s tone was solemn.
Penelope was left in the lurch. You believe her? That I drugged ber?”

“Look Penelope, I know my limit and I wasn’t even close. After I drank what you gave me, I went crazy and did stupid things. I’m not blaming you. I just want to know what it was, Mercedes explained, this time calmly and just as expected, Penelope
fell for it.
“Oh, it was just an aphrodisiac. she casually revealed.
Griffin turned white. He never expected such intent from his girlfriend. “Afro what? You?”

“Come on, there was definitely going to be a first time anyway. Did it matter who it happened with?” Penelope was not remorseful. Given another chance, she would have done it again
But Mercedes was deeply hurt. Penelope got into Griffin’s life and she does this to her. Her first gift, which she planned to give to the love of her life who she thought to be Griffin before, is now given to a stranger. She couldn’t control her fury. “yes, it does, now just get out of my house.”
Penelope was unmoved as she gazed at Griffin. “Are you gonna watch her throw me out?”
You already said you were leaving.” Griffin didn’t hide his letdown this time and said coldly. Penelope took a deep breath and stormed out. She knew she had gone overboard this time but envy would not let her apologize.
Look. I’m so sorry. I will make it up to you, I swear. Griffin turned to Mercedes and pleaded as soon as Penelope stepped
out.
“Whatever, I’m going to my room,” Mercedes left Griffin to her room but the latter followed her. He has gotten her into gross trouble and he couldn’t forgive himself. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“So please tell me. What happened?” He sat on her bed and asked gently, genuine care showering his words. Mercedes knew that Griffin would never hurt her on purpose and quickly put everything behind her. After all, they were together again, all alone. She was so comfortable with Griffin, she could tell him anything but her stomach roared, “Tm hungry.”
Griffin felt she wasn’t in the mood to talk yet and stood up, “fine, I’ll cook for you but you have to tell me what happened later. Alright?”
“Ok, Mercedes muttered and went to have her bath. She still felt uncomfortable.
Griffith prepared toast with coffee and since Mercedes wasn’t out yet, he went to the garage to check her car. He always made sure it was in good condition for her to use. That was the least he could do for all of Mercedes‘ kindness. When he returned, he had a worried expression. Mercedes was eating her breakfast on the small dining table.
“You had an accident?” He was even more worried and upset for not having time for Mercedes as much time as he used to but they were best friends and Penelope was his future. She was the one he was going to get married to so that made it right for him to spend more time with her.
“It was more of a hit and run thing,” she casually said.
“I hope you weren’t caught on surveillance. I will get the car repaired, he turned to the door.
“There’s по Tuesday
money for that now but I got a new job and will have enough money on Monday. You can send the car on
Griffin froze at the door. “A new job? Why haven’t you told me about it?”
How could I tell you when we don’t get the chance to talk? We are not us anymore and I understand, she gave a weak smile. “Mercedes, I will always be there for you no matter what and we shall always be best friends for life,” he elaborated.

“That’s good to know I smashed.” She was about to tell him aboin what happened in the office when Griffith’s phone began ringing and Mercedes focussed on her food. “It’s Penelope, right? You can go,” she said when he ended the call. Griffin gave her a worried look before walking out of the door.
After eating. Mercedes took her medications and slept. The next day, Griffith didn’t return and everything was quiet. Mercedes thought it best to not call him. His time now belonged to his Penelope. A painful truth it was. Even though he might not admit it. Penelope was his priority.
Mercedes spent the day doing laundry and cleaning the house. When she was done she made lunch and ate. The rest of the day, she read a book or two on her phone, then played Zuma and went to bed. It was late when she heard voices. Griffith must have brought Penelope again. She didn’t like the idea but she didn’t complain and neither did she step out.
She woke up early the next morning, dressed up and went to the new company. Luckily, Griffin slept in his room with Penelope this time. However, he must have returned late but he still washed her car. Her heart felt warm as a smile lined the corner of her lips. She drove to the company and reported at the HR’s office.
“It’s good you are here,” Vincent exclaimed with excitement. Mercedes responded with a smile while Vincent continued to speak. The board meeting is about to begin. Take this iPad. I will take you to your office after the meeting,” he said, shoving the iPad into her band and leading her to the board room. Questioning eyes grazed her when she reached the board room.
Clad in a grey knee–length dress with her hair let down, Mercedes was stunning. She had used a little more make–up due to the hickeys that still hadn’t faded completely. However, Mercedes froze when she saw a pair of eyes pinned on her.
Her heart missed a beat. No, maybe two or three. It was a familiar face. Oh, it was the man from the club she woke up in bed. with. What was he doing here? She felt her head spin and her mind dazed.
