Jasmine looked out of the window gasping, "Xavier is also here."
Maya smiled sweetly, "It appears so," she muttered underneath her breath noting that she was cornered.
Maya raised her brow at Skylar who appeared like she was told Christmas will be coming earlier.
"Oh my God this is happening," she muttered underneath her breath while trying to comb her hair hastily with her fingers making Maya blink wondering what the fuss was about especially since she worked under him.
Then she remembered that she only saw Xavier regularly because they worked in the same building and it was not the same case for the other workers especially since he had a private elevator and his own personal parking space.
Most of the workers have never seen their boss except through tabloids and the television.
He looked breathless even as he busted into the room, his eyes finding Maya almost i
Maya exhaled even as she smiled, leaning on Xavier's body trying so desperately to sell the picture of two people passionately in love. After humoring Ashley with her little video, they had discussed for a while with the trio acting like they had actually come to visit and when Xavier had suggested it was late and they should probably get going, she didn't know why but she had felt relieved. Now, she just had to swallow her pride and stay under his roof until she gets a place of her own because some hours ago she just discovered she was officially homeless. "Are you alright?" Xavier whispered, his eyes at his side of the window as he ended the silence they have sunk into throughout their ride back. "I don't even know anymore," she mumbled truthfully, closing her eyes feeling so tired, "I don't know," He glanced at her, "You know you could have just told them you wanted to move back."
Maya smiled at Xavier as he opened the door for her to enter the car. It was her first day at work and she would be a big liar if she said she wasn't excited about finally going back to the workforce and real life. Xavier had insisted on dropping her at work before heading to his, something she regarded as him trying to assure her he fully consented to her working with Tyler. The morning was off to a beautiful start and though they had started off a routine like they were a couple which bothered her, she couldn't say she didn't enjoy him waking her up because she had overslept a bit. Then they had both been in their respective rooms showering and following through with their morning routine. She had made breakfast without thought, falling back into the pattern of cooking since she was the one who did all the cooking for the girls. They had eaten in companiona
"Have you sent the review of the Beta gamers to Mr. Salvador?" Maya asked Jessica, even as she typed into the computer referring to Tyler. "Not yet." She whispered uneasily, "I'll do that later today along with the report of the engineers once they are done testing the design of the app." Maya nodded, her eyes still fixated on the computer screen. Playit was launching a dating app soon and it had been taking a chunk of her time, as everyone had been on deck to make sure this particular job was just as perfect as the others. She smiled at Jessica, not even blaming her for slacking a bit, even as she told her she could leave now. The landline in her office rang, she picked up the call, her eyes still on her screen. "Maya," She smiled, "How are you doing?" "Fine but I don't know about you. I didn't know when you came
Maya stared at the cup of coffee, apprehensively not only because she doesn't like black plain coffee in fact she knew that's what she needed at this point but she was trying to wrap her head around how nice her new boss Jared was. Like wasn't it illegal to be this understanding and goofy, yet have so much money in your account? He made Tyler who she had thought the absolute goofball seem like a scowling monster in his charcoal black sweatshirt and denim shorts. "I'm supposed to be giving you this." She muttered a few seconds after muttering a quick thanks and taking in a gulp of the much-needed caffeine. She felt violated in the least. They had just taken a short break after talking to the marketing team. It'd been hours of hearing strategies and so many promotional sites, watching so many PowerPoint advertisement pitch, her ears bleed and her eyes were blurry. "You are not my assistant. That is Maria's
"Firstly Xavier is not an alleged devil," she mumbled. "Oh, I'm sorry if that came out__" She snorted Amused, "He is the Devil." His eyes widened, "I didn't see that coming." "I didn't see him coming." She waved her hand where her rock engagement ring rested on which had made Jessica, her assistant gulp and almost trip on her heels the first time she saw it, "I didn't see this coming." "I think that's the main basis of love, like whoever plans to meet the one?" "Me," she whispered, not knowing why she was offering a part of her truth to Jared. Maybe because he was so simple to talk to, so nice you'll assume he had no judgemental bone or you are just tired and need a fucking reprieve and a release, "I'd it all planned you know. Childhood sweetheart check, love at first sight check, and then it was supposed to be blueberries and walking the aisle next like__"
Maya yawned tiredly after the long tiresome press conference. While In college, she had thought she knew all there was to know about this field of work but nobody had talked about the insanity that came with the publicity of an application. They were done with the meeting after some minutes past 7 and Tyler had insisted on having a brief wrap with the rest of her unlucky executive colleagues despite everyone's groan. She had been too tired to even protest and even now, she barely registered Tyler's word but could see his mouth was moving. He was pointing at her and yet she knew that if she dare hear a word he was saying through her sated brain she could only scream obscenities especially if it was a question. Shouldn't this be illegal and an infringement of human rights? Her phone vibrated inside her purse since it was silenced, for like the hundredth time and she
Maya shook her head, "No way you don't mean that, do you?" She was enjoying way too much Jared's big reveal of Tyler's childhood. He raised his brow, "I was right there and an accomplice, so in a way you are hearing this right from the horse's mouth." His face came closer to her while she giggled noting the serious expression on his face, "I'm the most valid and most trusted source you can ever get." She wanted to reply but she stiffened, whatever retort she had in mind gone as she felt someone shooting glares at her back. Someone was watching them. Years of watching your back after she had run from her mother were finally paying off. She turned and there stood Xavier, hands crossed and murderous intent in his eyes. Her eyes widened even as she noted how close she was to Jared and even though she was not in a relationship with Xavier, she didn't want any misconception to be formed by
She didn't make it past the threshold of her room before she felt a hand snaking around her waist and effortlessly pushing her backward. He swiveled her so she faced him, her eyes widened seeing the look in his eyes. Raw anger, potent desire, frightening desperation, and fear. "Xavier," she didn't even recognize her squeaky mutter as she shivered, "What are you doing?" She gasped as he effortlessly pinned her to the closest sofa, his crotch on hers. She swallowed noting his bulging erection, "You promised, God you promised." He placed his lips on her cheek so his husky voice reverberated right to her core, "I Bet if I slide my fingers up that fancy dress of yours and push your pants aside, I'm going to find you so soaked and ready for me, it would take me an hour to lick you dry" Her eyes widened even as she averted her gaze. "I made a promise a
