Chapter 83:It took Ariana ten minutes to pull herself together. Her heart was going to put her in a lot of trouble if she kept letting Calhoun sweep her off her feet like this.She stepped out of her house exactly thirty minutes, after Calhoun and got a taxi that drove her down to work. If not for her alarm that went off an hour earlier than necessary, she would have been extremely late for work."Good morning, Olga!" Ariana greeted the receptionist. She remembered Zion had called her by that name and she always took it upon herself to know all her coworkers.The girl beamed happily at Ariana. "Good morning, you are starting today?" She asked."Yes, I will.""Congratulations. You are Miss Brown, yes?" She asked."Oh, please, call me Aria," Ariana said to Olga."Great! Mr. Lawson will be here in a few minutes you should go talk to Sarah. Good luck!" Olga told her."Thank you." Ariana clutched her bag and moved to get the elevator. The closer she got to Calhoun's floor, the more she go
Chapter 84:Ariana didn't realize that was the connection between her office and his office. She took a step back in shock. It was like a horrible reminder that she was working with Carl, who was actually Calhoun Lawson in reality."Oh my God!" She exclaimed out loud.For a moment when she was chatting with Zion and Sarah, she had forgotten that her boss was actually going to be the man she had given her virginity to. The same man that drove her insides crazy.The phone on her desk started ringing and she jumped out of her trance. She hadn't even realized there was a phone there until now. The land line was the same color as the oak desk in front of her. She hurried to it and picked up the call."Hello..." She said hesitantly. Was she supposed to introduce herself?"I know I am irresistible but I really need those files baby." His voice came through the phone and her throat went dry.She hung up immediately and went to the pile Sarah had given her that morning. How did the time move s
Chapter 85:Ariana held her breath as she packed up the files on her table. Calhoun was right in front of her watching her every move. She felt like she was a tiny worm and he was a large microscope pressing down on her."Do I make you uncomfortable?" His voice filled the office and she felt a shiver pass through her body.She blinked looking up at him from under her lashes. She didn't know what to say. He wasn't making her uncomfortable. He was making her feel things she wasn't supposed to feel for her boss.His phone rang out in his hands and he peeled his eyes away from her, long enough to check who was calling."Bring it to the next door," he ordered.As he dropped the call, a sharp knock went off on his door and he quickly got up to get to it.Ariana took the opportunity to finish arranging what she had been trying to do for more than thirty minutes now.Calhoun pulled the door open and the delivery guy brought in the large tray in his hands into the office. He placed it on Arian
Chapter 86:Ariana sat on her couch with her legs crossed under her. It was a rainy Saturday and Lisa had come to spend time with her. It was supposed to be a regular weekend where she spent time with Lisa and Zion but today, Sarah meant to come but she and Zion were raining late.Lisa had been poking her about Calhoun. It had been a week since she started working with Calhoun and it wasn't getting better."I don't know what to do Lisa. I literally melt when he is in front of me!" Ariana cried out."Wait, I am confused, when did you meet this guy, isn't a week ago?" Lisa asked Ariana. As far as she was concerned, Ariana just met the guy. How come she was melting?Ariana pulled a pillow to her chest and hugged it. Even talking about it brought back memories of the nights they have spent together. Just two, yet it felt like it was a thousand times."Remember when I went out to the bar, a few months ago?" Ariana asked her.Lisa moved her eyes around, thinking about the day Aria had come
Chapter 87: "Grandfather, you didn't have to come here," Calhoun said hugging his grandfather. "I had to come. You were not returning any of my calls and I needed to speak with you urgently," Grandfather said as they walked into the large apartment at the highest building at the centre of the city. It was one of Calhoun's favourite houses whenever he was in the city. His grandfather knew that he would find him here. "You really shouldn't. Grandfather, you know i am very busy with this new clothing line I am trying to launch. Please come have a seat," he said as he ushered him to a seat. "Ah, don't worry about that my boy. I am here now, so we could as well just talk about what I came for," grandfather said as he settled into the seat. Calhoun was exactly like his son. He was always so serious with his work that he sometimes forgot about family. Not because he didn't love them but because he felt if he should be with his family then he should give them his hundred percent time and
Chapter 88: With excruciating slow steps, she came toward him. She was in a dress so revealing and deliciously indecent. It was a white lacey and flowered short gown. It was painfully tight, so he wondered how she managed to walk with it. Unbelievably transparent, he wondered, too, the essence of wearing it at all when you could stay naked. She was barefooted, her long legs straight, smooth and silky. As she stretched out those long legs, taking slow steps towards him, it built his anticipation, each step skyrocketing his curiosity. She shone so brightly, implausibly emitting light like a bulb with so much energy and powerful electricity. She was the only thing lighting up the room, the room which he was yet to recognize. He was sure that he had seen an angel. At least, that was the only explanation he could give to something so incredible and impossible, realistically speaking. But an angel so indecently dressed? A fallen angel then, one certainly not from God. She was like
Chapter 89:Calhoun threw his phone across the bed and walked to the television mounted on the right side of his bed. "What could possibly be wrong now?" He muttered to himself as he fetched the remote control from the side table beneath the television.The screen came to life and he scrolled through the channels. Zion didn't even say where exactly he should tune into but if it was as bad as hr was saying it then it had to be on business news. He was scrolling fast to get to the right channel when his eyes lingered on the entertainment channel. It was Alice."Silly woman," he hissed. He couldn't understand why the entire city worshipped her. To think that she even had the guts to ask him not to employ Ariana. "Crazy woman!" He muttered.But as he was about to change the channel, his eyes caught something on the message scrolling through the screen right under Alice Brentwood's bold name.It was his name. Calhoun Lawson."What?" He asked as he zoomed on the screen to see what was writ
"Did you speak to Calhoun?" Mrs. Lawson senior asked.Mr. Lawson senior, walked slowly towards his bed and sat down. They had seen a note from the television station about the interview Alice Brentwood made before it even got to the media. This was why he went to Calhoun, hoping to get something. But he got nothing."That boy is just like his father," he said with a smile. "He won't say anything until next Sunday," he told his wife.Mrs. Lawson left the dressing table where she had been taking off her make up and jewelries to prepare for the night, "he is coming home?" She asked."Yes. He said he will come home and this time, he is bringing the girl he spoke of."Mrs. Lawson wasn't satisfied with his answer. "Did you confirm again if it is Alice or Ariana, that was her name right?"Mr. Lawson heaved a sigh. "We will just have to wait. I don't think we have another choice."She came and sat on the bed close to him. "But your friend will be worried. You promised him... We will lose a lo
