Working for Klaus Chapter 19
She excused herself to go to the bathroom. Was it soon? Did I break the news too soon? But we had agreed on this hadn't we? Sooner or later I would have had to introduce her to the world so that everyone including Isadora could know we were dating right?I hated the guilt I felt everytime I hurt her. I failed her years ago, two decades later I was still failing her. She had taken a whole lot of minutes in the bathroom and I was starting to get worried. Blaze told me to give her some space, that she might have had something going on with her 'periods' .Did women faint when it was their time of their month? Or did they faint when they were pregnant? I mean I hadn't seen Drizella faint back when we were kids when she was on her month, what made Elle any different?"Congratulations Rogers, the girl is a gem,"Mr Jones patted my back and I smiled back with a thanks."A gem indeed" Isadora spoke right after Mr Jones left."Thank you. I'm glad you see it too. That she's a rare gem in my life

"She refused the food, sir,"Chica came into my study room for the second time.She hadn't talked to me since we arrived home last night. And like a child she had locked herself up in the guest room allowing only 'her friends' in the room. Drama. I hated drama and she unlike the women I had met in my life, had a lot of drama. Kenny, the division's manager had called me to check whether I had the dossier for the Mill project. I had perused every document in my study room and yet not a single sight of the document. I needed a secretary asap. With Eleanor now my girlfriend, I needed a secretary as efficient as she was otherwise no work would be done for the past couple of weeks.I didn't like taking a day off from work. To me, missing work was the end of Rogers Co. Mario wasn't capable of running the place and Drizella had it in her to run the place but she could always be distracted by anything. Which is why me missing work today, had me on edge.I had stayed home to take care of her an

"You've worked for Mrs Jenna right? No problem there. Ms Drizella, however, you'll have to impress. Compliment her clothes, say her nails look good and as for Mr Mario just smile at everything he says no matter how yuckish it is,"Martin suggested and the girls nodded.I was practically biting my nails thinking of how I would face them at once. But I had worked for them right? How hard was it to sit down and have a nice good meal with them? I was feeling a little bit better after eating both breakfast and lunch courtesy of Niklaus. But that didn't mean I hated him a little less.The dress that Niklaus bought for me fit perfectly. It was a knee length casual grey shirt dress with long sleeves. The long sleeves covered the bruises that were healing nicely. I appreciated that he went through the extent of getting me something nice for dinner.I stood at the foot of the staircase, Fey pumping me up that I could do it while I waited for Niklaus to be done."And if anyone tries to attack you

She didn't know how to swim. That didn't surprise me at all. She didn't know how to swim yet she had boldly walked to the pool. I sort to correct that. I wanted her to learn to fight incase an incident of what her uncle did or what Isadora did happened again, I was added swimming to the list, she needed to learn how to swim.Her hands were tangled behind my neck, I could feel her breath gently caress my neck and the same smell of raspberry tingled my nose hairs. She liked raspberries huh? Or was it just another shampoo she used?Immediately we got inside the house we unexpectedly ran into my two siblings. The look on their faces telling me that they weren't in the least bit happy with my choice in a partner. And that's the thing with having a wealthy family, they all expected that you'd flow what stereotypes said. If you were rich then marry a girl from a rich family and if you were poor then marry a girl from your same criteria."Evening,"I greeted them taking the stairs with Eleanor

"You did well. I have never seen her so quiet in my life,"Niklaus chuckled his eyes on the road ahead.I had never had a good laugh with him and it felt nice for once. The dinner went on well, Ms Drizella hadn't tried to utter another word against me while Mario had made a rather shocking remark discreetly which was 'I hope you make my brother happy, he deserves it. I haven't seen him smile for a long time'That statement and his concern for his brother made me look at Mario in a different light. Yes he was a playboy, a major playboy infact, but maybe that was a cover for his dysfunctional family. For how messed up he was. I had learnt a thing or two from the Rogers. Jenna Rogers was still the same kind woman who had hired me despite of not having any work experience.And now, she was even nice to me having learnt of me being her son's girlfriend."What can I say, two years of staying with her and I have learnt a thing or two,"I stared outside the window my eyes going wide after seein

"Do you think I'm grumpy?" I asked Blaze the first thing I got in the office for the meeting about the finalisation of the Mill project."What?" Blaze questioned unamused."Forget about it. Eleanor said it and she sort of messed me up"Braulio. That I resembled a certain character from a Spanish telenovela who was always grumpy, put himself above his family, not to mention hit his own wife and son, loved a woman he couldn't have and would kill just to protect his La Donna. We were nothing alike, although Eleanor insisted on comparing me to him. That Mrs Chang was right and had a valid reason for calling me Braulio."Since when did you listen to her, man? Wait. Don't tell me- are you? Do you love her?""No...she said something and it bothered me do you have to draw your irrational conclusions everytime I bring her up?""Well,I'm just saying. You want her to love you not the other way around, she's Gregory's daughter, the sharpest arrow in his the quiver. His real daughter. You can marr

"I have zero experience but I promise you the dogs will warm up to me,"I smiled walking around the dog pound."As you can see here, Omar doesn't just bring the dogs here to be mistreated or anything. Some of these dogs are strays, some abandoned by their owners, others thrown to the street to fend for themselves. What we do here, is we nurse them to health and get them adopted,"Carl said walking me around everything at the center.There was the nursing room where Fridah the vet took a look at the dogs brought in by Omar the dog catcher then there was the grooming room where Hellen trained the dogs to act properly and from there it was to the cages where the dogs played with their toys until someone came and adopted them."What happens to the ones not adopted?" I asked concernedly staring at the golden retriever in cage fifty five, all sad and alone."We simply raise a fundraiser to give them up for adoption. For free ofcourse,"he added.I could really fit in here. It really seemed lik

The kiss was gentle and at the same time demanding. I could taste his mouthwash and inhale his masculine scent by having him so close. I guess I got carried away. Carried away by the fact that his hands roamed my body, carried away by the fact that just when I thought he was done, that he was parting from me, he grabbed hold of my upper lip simultaneously letting go and grabbing hold of my bottom lip.Like a dazed woman I got deeper into the kiss letting him gain entry into my mouth. For a while there, it was me and him. Something so impossible and yet true. It felt like it was me and him in the room. The illusion of our hearts beating rapidly blinded me not to let go, only after parting from the kiss and seeing his eyes did I realize it was all for show.Our foreheads rested on each other, our noses almost touched as the lights from the cameras flashed between us. Parting from the embrace, he grabbed hold of my hand protecting me from the gnarly questions the paparazzi had.When is th
