"You are late again, I hope this is not an attitude that would continue to run through?" Brant said sternly as soon as Fabiola rushed into the office. He was leaning on her desk and immediately stood upright as she got in.She opened her mouth to say something, but decided to swallow her words, reading his countenance, she could presume that something was pressing."Grab the file on my desk and follow me." He said without looking at her.She nodded obediently and went ahead to get the file. She was kind of pissed that he went all 'serious mode' with her this morning. Meanwhile she was just about 15 minutes late, unlike yesterday where she was an hour late… plus, she was hurrying her balls just to meet up with the time, only for her to meet her boss acting as if he were on his period.She hurried her footsteps to catch up with his long strides."You are not allowed to say anything, your job is only to jot down notes." He said to her as they descended in the elevator."Yes Sir," she re
Linda McGraw was the only daughter of the McGraw family, one of the big five families. Just like Brant and Randy, Mila use to play with Linda back when they were kids, when everything was milk and honey, when innocence ruled.Now standing in front of her childhood best friend, she knew that she needed to act as if they never knew each other…. technically, they don't right now.Each woman had grown up to fit her own definition of womanhood.This is Fabiola, my girlfriend." Brant said. "Babe, this is Linda McGraw, she is the one I told you about last night." He wound his hand around Fabiola and lied smoothly, smiling down at Fabiola.Fabiola remained stiff as she stared at the familiar face before her."Is she Ok?" Linda leaned close to Brant and whispered with a disgusting look on her face.Fabiola heard her sound and clear. "I am ok. How do you do?" Fabiola tried to keep a straight face, ignoring the fact that Brant just said that they spent the night together.Well, since Linda ha
"Your laugh is very familiar, just like someone I knew a long time ago." Linda said in an unexpectedly soft voice, stunning the others."Well, do I look like that person?" Mila asked nonchalantly, aa she folded her arms and leaned forward on the table."Never mind." Linda said. The softness that flashed across her face disappeared almost immediately. She sipped her coffee once more, cleared her throat and straightened herself one more time. It was like there were two different people now, and a few seconds ago."You were gonna say something." Brant reminded Linda, seizing the opportunity to deviate from the topic."My company needs this deal just as much as yours does, so we need to find a way to please both our parents for the sake of the companies." Linda stated.Brant nodded, neither in agreement nor denial."I propose we go in for an open marriage, with no conjugality between us except for the title of husband and wife." Linda proposed boldly, ignoring Fabiola's presence."Wow, so
"I never bet on you to be the jealous type." She was totally immersed in her work so much so that she did not notice Brant walk in until he spoke.It was the moment she had been patiently waiting for for the past 2 hours.She raised her head and stared at him straight in the eye."Why won't you want me to marry another woman, would you marry me instead?" He asked sarcastically with a mischievous smirk on his face."Why did you take me along?" She asked, ignoring everything he said. She was not in the mood to harass him for the useless comment he just made."Because you are my secretary of course, what else.? He replied confidently, accompanied by a shallow Scuff.She pushed her chair backwards noisily, creating enough room for her to stand up. "I'll ask you one more time, Brant, why...the… fuck...did you take me along?" She closed up the distance between them.Goosebumps emerged all over his body, but he held his ground. "Whom else should I have taken?" He asked, concealing his nervo
She wound her arms around him, raised herself on her toes and leaned in as he deepened the kiss.A soft muffled moan escaped her lips.Brant did not hold back as he explored her mouth with his tongue, drowning in her sweetness and leaving no part unattended to.She relaxed in his arms, drowning in the moment as the knot in her lower abdomen tightened.They stood there, locked together for about a couple of minutes, with their tongues dangling against each other.His breathing hastened, so did Fabiola's. This wasn't their first kiss, they'd taken things further to the end before, but this was actually first time they were kissing without each other trying to take advantage of the other....or so Brant thought."Brantley?" Fabiola called out in an out-of-breath voice. She placed her hands on his chest and pushed him back, creating some distance between them."Yes." He replied in a shallow lust filled tone, without letting go of her."You are to have a meeting now." She managed to say wi
Unlike his other meetings where he'll usually ask her to accompany him... even though she was not obliged to, this time he did not mention anything related to that. Instead he left her with tons of work to complete.She left the office pretty late that day, on getting home, to her greatest dismay, she discovered that her fridge was as deserted as that of a bachelor's.With the hope of getting a quick bite perhaps from an all-night diner, she made her way down the lonely streets of Limesville. The distant chirping of the crickets and cracking of the mid-road trees as the night wind whipped their branches.Fabiola had herself wrapped up in a gray shore, shielding her from the crude night cold.The dinner wasn't a long way from home, just 7 blocks, so she decided to beat it on foot. After all, she had not done any exercise or worked out in almost a week. She needed to at least get some cardio."A chicken sandwich please!" She said when she finally got to the dinner. "And chips with ketchu
"Where'd she go?" She heard one of the men ask his partner."I don't know," the other man replied."Com'on, let's find her.""I'll go this way, you go that way." She heard them say.She took a deep breath, waiting for the coast to be clear before she could grab her takeout and leave. She listened attentively as the two pairs of footsteps gradually faded.Her eyes bulged out when she saw a young Irish setter."Shsh!" She placed her finger hoping to silent the little dog from barking and selling her out.It stared at her wagging its tail."Hey cutie, go on, shoo! She whispered, with a nervous smile as she tried to shoo the dog away.It stared at her and fortunately it wagged its tail and turned away.She breathed a sigh of relief, only for her heart to skip a beat in fright when the cute puppy turned back to her and barked."No, no! Don't you dare!" She ground her teeth together as she threatened the poor dog.Her threats were not enough to silence it though."Boss we could not find her
The phone rang, she picked it up on the first ring."How the hell did you get entangled with these people?" Dom's voice echoed at the other end of the call."What people?" She asked innocently.She was tired to stupor, and hungry. The last thing she needed right now was to solve another damn puzzle of her life."Glacier's Cartel." Dom said."Glacier's Cartel?" Fabiola asked in surprise. "Are you sure about that info right now?" She was genuinely puzzled."Yep." He replied plainly."Well, I don't even know why they're after me, maybe I got mistaken for somebody else." She said, munching her sandwich savagely."Are you sure you haven't insulted or punched anyone recently?" Another voice asked."Carlson?" She called in all glee and excitement, causing some food crumbs to fall off her mouth, she did not mind though."Yep, baby girl, how are you?" He replied with equal excitement."I'm doing great. Sorry, I promised pops I was gonna swing by to spend some time with you, but unfortunately,
