They stepped out of the elevator when they heard the sound that indicated that they've reached their destination.
Justin totally forgot that Drew gave him something to do, he offered to give them a ride home but Phoebe refused because she was heading to a different place while Cecil was heading straight to the house.Phoebe Roland was a dancer in a well known company, she was popular and loved by fans because of her sexual orientation and the fact she was lesbian and behaved like a boy made fan girls crazy about her.She debuted three years ago and it didn't take her time to become a famous dancer and also with the fact that she was Justin's close friend was something that got people admiring her because Justin Bellomy the virgin Casanova barely kept a female friend close to him for a week not to say how long they've both been close friends but although she wasn't close to me Drew however, being close to his personal assistant was equivalent to being close to him and that was the only thing that irked her fans, after all, Mr Drew was a dirty heartless man, a psychopath and an ugly man, they didn't want anything tainting their idol but they were thankful that they've never seen her publicly with the infamous Mr Drew which was the total opposite in reality because she spends time with him as well as Justin in her spare time."What about you Cecil? Do you mind if I give you a ride home?"He turned towards Cecil as he asked, she was just about to give her reply when Phoebe answered on time."I don't think she'll mind. Cecil, I think it's best you let Justin drive you home because we aren't going the same places and me driving front and back would be tiring and wasting of my time. You just got back from the state after studying for four years, you'll be needing someone to tour you around the city and you can ask him questions about the company to get yourself familiar with it. I'll be better isn't? Alright then, see you at home, bye."After saying so many words without waiting for a reply from neither Justin nor Cecil, she left the both with a questioning look on their faces.Justin stared at Phoebe's back as she walked out and was puzzled, it was so shocking that she said a thousand words in one goal, he could not help but wonder why she was eager to push Cecil to him but whatever it was, he was happy because he'll be able to spend time with her. At the thought of spending time with her, he began to question himself, why the hell would he want to spend time with someone he met just today, it was quite confusing but he decided to brush it off, maybe it was because she was beautiful and he liked beautiful things.Though Cecil noticed her sister's abnormal attitude but she decided to shrug it off, maybe she's been like that lately due to so much work and her schedule was tight these days so she didn't ponder much on the matter.Cecil Roland had been out of the state studying for the past four years with the help of Phoebe who had been supportive of her. The first two years in the university was hard because at that time, Phoebe was still struggling with her dancing career and Cecil had to take school loans in order to survive, she was almost on the verge of being sued by the school authority for owing them a huge sum of money but luckily for her, things changed in the beginning of the third year because Phoebe was on the second year of her dancing career and she started getting good payment, good enough to pay off the loans Cecil took from school."Alright miss Cecil, let's get going, this way please"They both got to the packing lot under the intent stare of the workers, of course, why won't they stare, seeing the virgin Casanova with a pretty lady, another one. They would swear that in the next three days they will find him with a new girl and he'll dump this one but they were wrong because Justin Bellomy was so not thinking of letting Cecil Roland off but it was just that he hasn't discovered it yet.Justin didn't need Cecil to give him the address to Phoebe's apartment because he had been there a number of times so he was well familiar with the place."The city looks more beautiful and different from when I saw it last, that was four years ago."Cecil soft voice rang inside the silent car and made Justin turn towards her direction before turning back to look at the road."During those four years, you never came back for maybe a holiday or vacation?"He asked her curiously, he wondered how someone could be away from the city he or she grew up in without bothering to make a visit at least, he heard her reply.."No, it was because Phoebe never allowed it and I have no idea why but if I ask, she say it was because she wanted me to concentrate on my studies, coming back home would make me not want to return to school again, according to her"It was true, Cecil had always wanted to make a visit to the city but Phoebe would reject her and she obeyed without any second thought in mind."She must really care about you that she never wanted you to return back until your studies was over"Cecil smiled brightly at Justin's words and that smile caught Justin's attention that he had to slow down the car to keep watching her smiles that made his heart somersault, but he heard the honking of other cars behind and it brought him back to reality, he sped up for other cars behind to move."Yeah, she does care about me too much. So, tell me something about your company.""What I mean is, I want the marriage date to be pushed nearer. I want the marriage to take place quickly, father. I have finally accepted that I wouldn't be the one to marry Mr Drew and I'm happy for my sister. I want the celebration to take place as quickly as possible, father."Adele's statement did not only shock Mr Thom but also Mirabelle, she was awed at Adele's acting prowess. Why didn't she join the movie industry? She would be the best actress of all time!Although surprised, he didn't reply immediately. He looked intently at Adele, gauging her expression as if wanting to read through her thoughts."I'm happy you've finally understood why I didn't want you to marry that psychopath. You've finally grown and can now understand situations, that's good." He nodded but Adele wasn't pleased with her father's words. She held on the hem of her dress tightly so that her anger wouldn't show on her face.Psychopath?! He is not who you think he is, urghh!"Your idea sounds great too. The
"Look at that. Mirabelle, don't you agree that my father is such a hardworking man?"Adele spoke and held a proud smile, her words brought the attention of both men on them. But the person whom the question was directed at was lost in her own world. Mirabelle held a dreamy look and her eyes that were glued on the man who stood beside the CEO's table were filled with unspoken emotions. Obviously infatuation. –Author rolls her eyes–The man Mirabelle was staring at shamelessly, undressing him with her eyes, was Matthew Edgerly, Mr Thom's personal assistant.He was a tall man with a nice build, shoulder length strawberry blonde hair which he swept to the back, making his chiseled face more prominent.His voice was deep and he spoke smoothly that Mirabelle felt like she should swallow his mouth whole. In a few words, Matthew was sexy and Mirabelle was obviously hooked. She wanted him.The urge of having him to herself had her clenching her hands and thighs together, to calm herself down.
Mirabelle felt her insides churn the moment they arrived at Cintron's company. She quickly got out of the car and she thought she would throw up everything inside her, but thankfully, she didn't."Hey, that's so much of a ride. We could have died." Mirabelle gasped as she threw an accusatory look at Adele."My apologies that I'm not sorry. Maybe next time you could use your own car." Adele had her brows raised in nonchalance which had Mirabelle snorting in disbelief."I bet you don't know how ugly you look with your bish attitude towards me. For the love of God, am your one and only bestie." She pointed her index finger towards herself as if the whole world had wronged her."And that's why I'm lovingly being honest with you. If you're going to keep sulking, then just shut up." Adele spoke to have Mirabelle roll her eyes upwards and they both stepped into the building.They didn't have to go through any formal process to gain entrance into the building because everyone in the company,
Justin didn't protest to Drew's words, he was more than happy to abide by whatever Drew requested him to do but the same could not be said for Natalie. Her face crumbled the moment Drew stopped them from entering the backseat, he gestured for her to go to the front passenger seat beside Justin."Why should I sit there when I am your guest? Don't tell me you don't know how to treat people right." Natalie widened her eyes at Drew in anger and disbelief. She was really getting fed up at how she was being treated today and how Drew was behaving towards her. Nobody had ever dared to embarrass her to this much extent, she was being treated with respect wherever she went and she was finding Drew's attitude towards her very insultive.But Drew was the least bothered. "Ms Madison, if you have no interest in accompanying us for breakfast then you can leave rather than disrupt our time." Drew said dryly without sparing her a glance. Knowing that if she kept arguing with Drew it would change n
"I still can't hear you." There was a devilish grin on Drew's face and Adaline wanted to so much punch his face so hard that those smiles would disappear."I said I want them to join us." She repeated and Drew silently stared at her. His hands were still around her waist and he could feel how soft and small she was in his hands. Drew was elated that Adaline spoke to him. Her voice was soft and melodious, he could kill to hear her speak to him. Drew felt Adaline struggle in his hold."No." His voice was firm and Adaline didn't know what he said the no for. Was the no for her struggling to leave his grasp or for her words. She stopped struggling and tilted her head with a frown."They won't come. It's just the both of us and I am trying to make up for not being present yesterday." Drew spoke with a frown. He wasn't present yesterday but when he arrived at night, he saw her sleeping soundlessly on his bed. After helping her change from her uncomfortable dress in the dark room, he slept r
Drew was taken aback by Adaline's gesture. He stiffened and finally relaxed when she patted his chest. Is she trying to calm me down? Drew asked himself in inward amusement and he felt satisfied."Am fine." Drew whispered but Adaline still stood where she was and didn't move. She also didn't know why she suddenly leaned close to Drew and patted his chest but it happened even before she could comprehend it. But it doesn't look so bad. She thought back at what Natalie said to Drew, though she was in full support of his decision, she didn't think this was the right time. Judging from what she heard and understood from Natalie, there could be a consequences for Drew if he left Natalie like that when she came to see him, probably for business related things.Adaline wasn't into business like her father, but she knew how this things work. The business world was filled with people who hated to be dominated by another yet they still desire to dominate another to rise to the top. And she knew
