Chapter: Chapter 35Sophie Beatrice gave me a tour of the rooftop pool, the Sky Bar, the work pods and every angle that people would refer to as the “chill zone” here in WeillTech. I can’t even lie or deny the fact that this place is unbelievably luxurious. Clearly no expense has been spared at WeillTech. She doesn’t slow down as we walk, heels clicking confidently against the marble floors. “Where’s Alexander?” I blurted out.Shouldn’t he be around here? This is like the third floor and there’s been no sigh of him. “He’s in a meeting with Derrick and his mother but they should be finished any minute.”Oh.Katherine Weillman. My stomach twisted at the sound of her name. She’s worse than her child and the few times we’ve met, she was nothing but cold. She really did think I was a nobody and—“We operate in places that don’t like attention…and I’m guessing you’d flourish here cause you seem like you hate the attention.”Damn, is it really written on my face? I forced a smile and looked to my left.

Chapter: Chapter 34SophieGlad this was about to be over, I reached for my iPad on the table. He turned, looking at everyone in what seemed like a final moment. “Any questions?”My team all shook their heads.“Very well, you’re excused.” But then he turned to me. “Except you, Ms. Kellerman. I’d like a word.”My eyes narrowed. “Of course.” When everyone walked out through the room, he used his finger to scratch his beard gently, “Shut the door, Sophie.” “Why?” I asked him. “Alexander, I have a press release to write. I don’t have time to stroke your ego.” “Shut. The. Goddamn. Door,” he growled.This must better be worth it. I rolled my eyes as I push it shut.“There. What?”“You’ve got to stop acting like you hate me in public,” he said stepping closer. He stopped right before he could come any closer but I just stood there looking at him. “I don’t hate you,” I told him calmly. “I just can’t stand your mistress.”He chuckled lightly. In just four seconds I’ve noticed five significant things that

Chapter: Chapter 33Alexander It’s already annoying that she isn’t here yet. I’ve spent the past seven minutes reading, actually staring at the files on my table. The meeting is in about three minutes and she’s meant to be here. Her personal assistant is but she’s not and it just makes me wonder… was last night such a moment that she’d really miss work?I groaned as I adjusted myself beneath the mahogany table. In all my thirty seven years, I’ve never met a woman who can push my buttons like Sophie can. She’s a raving bitch more often than not, but just the thought of her makes me hard. The woman loathes me, no doubt, but I obviously have the same effect on her. She wants me, whether she likes it or not. I’m not sure if she even realizes it, but her lips part anytime she looks at me like she’s thinking about kissing me. It took a moment for me to realize it but I think I know what she saw. It could be the messages sent… I had forgotten to archive them after delivering but that’s okay, I can always

Chapter: Chapter 32Sophie As I sat in front of my mirror, styling my hair, I'm reminded for the fifth time why I do not want children yet.I was only gone for an hour yesterday, or maybe more but Albert did quite a good job and sometimes I wonder if I can ever do such. “No!!” I yelled the moment I found out Eve was going towards the kitchen. I sprawled up immediately and ran after her, catching up with her and lifting her in my hands. She chuckled, probably thought it’s some game we’re playing. “Come on baby,” I said softly. “We’ve got a long day ahead.”From everything on my tab, I’ll have to get us ready for school and work, grab coffee on my way, drop her off and head to the office. Now, this is where it gets tasking… I have to meet up with Alexander to finalize which of the buildings becomes our base. I know his is bigger, and although I still wish I had proposed a consolidation, I’m aware that what works best for us at this point is a statutory merger. So by the end of this week, Kellerman & c

Chapter: Chapter 31Alexander Something was wrong. I took one sip from the glass and lowered it on the slab before turning to look at her. I’ve never seen a woman with such intensified sex appeal. It’s almost like she’s naked in every single outfit. “I said yes,” she reiterated. “Why are you calling me?”“Are you okay?” I asked again. “Yes, why?”“Because you’re sweating.” And not just that, it’s making me imagine very wild things right now. I can bet a hundred bucks that her nipples are hard beneath the hoodie. I know I shouldn’t say that but I can’t help the expression on my face and the way my eyes pierce her. She quickly adjusted and dropped my laptop on the table. “I think I need to use the restroom.”She stood up, and walked out of the office but before the door could close behind me, I grabbed her hand and whirled her towards me. “What is it?”“Nothing. Get away from me.” The lump in her throat was visible as she swallowed hard, clenching her jaw as she maintained eye contact with me. “I

Chapter: Chapter 30SophieI was getting really worried. Lisa hasn’t sent the reports and Alexander hasn’t said anything yet.Did we lose that one? I paced around the room, contemplating whether to call him again. I’ve called him twice and to me, unless it’s a life threatening situation I can’t dial your fucking number thrice. I groaned and frowned at the idea that suddenly came in my head. Shit. Celine isn’t going to like this and neither do I but it’s not the first time and it won’t be the last… forgive me. Without disappointing me, a knock came on my door in a few minutes. I was already dressed in a simple T-shirt and Joggers. I also had my hoodie because it seemed cold outside. I got to the door and ushered him in. “Barely 24 hours of us making up and you’re already calling in favors?”“Please.”“No, please,” Albert said. “Are you sure this isn’t why you agreed to meet up?”“Can you not be a dick about this?” I asked. “You know how important work is.”“Yeah.. and that’s why Celine agreed to g
