Lewis eventually finds a first aid kit.
On his way back to Shayla's office though, he bumps into Carly.
'Oh my, your assistant Lewis!' She shrieks loudly in excitement, she had never been this close to such a powerful man. Being the assistant of the SHARK made Lewis a well known powerful man. His words had always reflected Leroy's, no matter where he went or who he would see, his words were also final.
Just like Leroy's!
Lewis tries to sidestep the banshee sounding woman but she shrieks 'wait!' While grabbing hold of his arm, trying to stop him from leaving.
Lewis's eyes narrow looking at her hand in complete disgust.
He already knew who this woman was!
He hated dirty people in this industry! So after finding out what Carly had done to Shayla, releasing the breakup scandal to the media, she was indeed a dirty person.
People should always think twice before they do something because karma bites!
So does a SHARK!
'Remove your filthy hands from me, woman' he sneers venomously in contempt.
Carly's arm whips back to herself, like she'd just been burnt. Lewis takes this opportunity to leave, hastily making his way back to Shayla's office.
Unfortunately Carly doesn't give up, her high heels begin clicking on the tiled floor, resounding loudly in her hasty pursuit.
'Assistant Lewis, wait up' she calls while chasing Lewis through the office.
Lewis completely disregards Carly, not answering. He makes it back to the office as quickly as he can, without running.
As soon as Lewis gets to the office he barges through the door, without knocking, slamming the door swiftly before leaning against it. Sighing in relief!
Getting away from someone you don't like always feels like a heavy weight has been lifted.
Shayla turns in her husband's embrace to see what's going on while Leroy looks up from where his sitting, his eyebrows raised in curiosity. Apart from the fact it's taken Lewis twenty minutes to return, Leroy has never seen Lewis sigh in relief when entering any space he is in.
This has his interest piqued! What's made him like this? He knows full well that barging in is disrespectful!
'What took...' Leroy begins to ask sternly but stops when there's banging on the door!
His face now screws up in confusion, before he hears screeching from the other side.
'Assistant Lewis! You can't go in there! Shay you best get out of there before I get President Ridge'
The banging on the door continues!
Both men stay silent until the banging stops, both sighing in relief when they hear the sound of heels hastily running off.
Leroy gestures with his hand in a come here motion to Lewis, Lewis straightens himself up then walks over to Shayla's desk, placing the first aid kit down. 'Sorry president Shark' he apologises quietly.
Leroy nods curtly before opening up the box
'Wait outside Lewis!' He orders before getting an antiseptic wipe and a plaster out, he watches Lewis leave. When the door closes he gently pats Shayla's shoulder.
'Come, sit on the desk, let's get you cleaned up'
He waits until Shayla's sat on the desk before rising from the chair, he knocks her knees apart with his strong thigh then steps between them.
Shayla watches Leroy grab the wipe before his hand reaches up, gently wiping away at the blood, when the wipe touches the cut Shayla hisses causing Leroy to glance down at her.
'You okay love?'
Shayla nods while shooting a small smile up at her husband, reassuring him she's fine. Leroy's eyes scan Shayla's face before he starts dabbing at the cut instead.
Once all the blood has been cleared he grabs the plaster and places it gently over the small cut at the top of her ear. Leroy cleans up the mess before he sits back down in Shayla's office chair, he scoots the chair forward so his now in-between her thighs, before asking softly, his voice like velvet to Shayla's ears. 'What happened love?'
Shayla forcefully swallows the lump that's formed in her throat from the question before sighing
'Dean came in screaming at me, asking where I have been' 'I refused to tell him' she mumbles then stops speaking, hoping that would be enough to appease her husband's questions.
'Hmm, go on?' Leroy coaxes, wanting answers.
'He we aggressive, he began squeezing my arm, it was bearable until Tonia his PA came in' Shayla says quietly before crying
'I don't know what happened but she came in telling Dean I was leaving the company' her lip trembles before tears stream down her delicate face, breaking Leroy's heart.
It hurts to see someone you care about cry!
Leroy snakes his arms around Shayla's waist before sliding her off the edge of the desk, right into his lap. He cradles her shaking body as she explains what else happened.
'He lost it! He was screaming and shaking me like a rag doll then he threw me to the floor!'
'I was so scared Leroy' she sobs traumatised from the experience. Leroy tightens his embrace, while coaxing Shayla to calm down.
'I'm here now baby, nobody's going to hurt you'
Meanwhile Dean has finished his lunch, his now having a conversation with Tonia over the phone
'I quit! I can't work for a violent man' she cries
'I'm not a violent man Tonia! Shay just pushed me to far, i would never do something like that to you' Dean pleads.
'I'm sorry but I'm not coming back President Ridge' Tonia states quietly before hanging up the phone.
Dean hears the beeps of the disconnected call before slamming his phone down on the table. Now the phone is away from his ear he can hear the sound of rushed heels clicking on the floor. Dean glances over to find Carly running frantically towards him, he rises from his chair and meets her halfway.
'Pres.. President Ridge' she breathes out, trying to catch her breath, once she has she blurts
'There's a problem!' Deans mouth opens to ask what the problem is but Carly carries on
'Assistant Lewis is here! His gone to Shayla's office!' She shrieks out.
'What?' Dean asks completely bewildered
'Why the hell didn't you stop him?'
'I tried President but he wouldn't listen, I told Shayla to come out but they locked themselves in there' she shrieks loudly.
Dean barges past Carly, hastily making his way to Shayla's office!
