The bitter scents of antiseptics, the strong smell of disinfectant and the faint fragrance of soap tickled Rio’s nose as he found himself opening his eyes to the pure white ceiling and somewhat familiar environment.Rio blinked a couple of times, as his view got clearer to see Ray sitting on the chair opposite him in his usual overlay of lab coat, simple white collared shirt and carefully matched tie. His black leather oxford shoes glistened to the peeping rays of the sun as he sat cross-legged while flipping through the pages of what looked like a patient file he’s seen him hold plenty of times. His hair slicked back in a usual way and his glasses hung low on his nose lower than usual.“Ray” Rio called aloud and Ray instantly looked up in his direction.“Hi, Rio…how have you been?” Ray smiled, not hiding his usual excited self and enthusiastic attitude.“It hasn’t been long since we met, why are we meeting again, you clearly said we won’t be meeting for the next session-“Why are you
“Mr. Owen offered me a deal one time, I just need to take that deal. I pray it’s still on the table” Andrea groaned as she recalled what she told the executives at the executive’s meeting while their eyes were all on her. Everyone could guess what their next reaction would be. The way their eyes went wild in their sockets.“I must be insane, what would I do if he refuse to work with me? How can I rely on strangers like that” Andrea muttered while anxiously tapping her feet during her elevator ride up to the 40th floor of Owen’s company building. If he decides not to work with me, I don’t think I know what I’ll do, she might have managed to calm the executive's mind this time but the moment Owen rejects her, it’s over. Do we need to appeal to the bank to loan us money again, 100million debts isn’t a lot to generate back since our output and input is pretty decent, and our stats over the years have been over the graph, we’ve had more sales even recently, but because of what happened, ou
“Um, did someone want to tell me what in the world wants going on?” Oliver asked with an eerie smile that sent chills down Andrea’s spine. “You’re awake- “Obviously and I want to know what the heck is going on, I was supposed to be at the hospital if I remember correctly, ” Oliver said still maintaining his creepy smile while Andrea shifted away from him as she kept getting danger signals from him. “Just because you’re awake doesn’t change my plans,” Owen shrugged before turning in Andrea’s direction. With a casual smile, Owen asked, “So, what do you need my help with?” His eyes darted from Oliver to Andrea just as quickly. “Nothing too much, I won’t ask for something big because that would mean me crossing my boundaries, I just want to borrow some money and resources- With a loud raging tone, Oliver shouted. “Dad!” his fists clenched in anger. Oliver couldn’t take it anymore, the negotiation going on in front of him was infuriating, the girl was annoying, and his father was no
“It’s been such a long day” Rea thought as she stretches her body and approached her fridge for some water. She wasn’t able to return back to the office after meeting Owen and met her grandfather instead to tell her about the deal, well not explicitly. Rea couldn’t bring herself to explain the truth behind the sudden engagement deal he accepted from Owen, she didn’t feel comfortable enough exposing Rio without permission.Well, her grandfather still seems pretty pissed though since she told him Owen offered to help if she gets engaged with his son. Christopher who thought his granddaughter was forced raged about it for a while until Andrea insisted it was her choice.Andrea chuckled softly after recalling his father’s angry look after telling him of his plan. “He can be so dramatic,” Andrea thought out loud placing on his kitchen counter the glass cup she’d just drank from. Then the doorbell sounded and she quickly walked over to check who it was. Andrea didn’t want to admit it but sh
‘I can’t control myself, is it the alcohol, well…I’ve never taken the reins when he’s drunk, so…I guess this is what it feels like to be drunk’ Rio thought as his hot tongue wrapped around Andrea’s buds. The sweet moans she let out were like oil to his gear. The way she dug into his hair as he played with her buds had him wanting more, I want more. Rio impulsively reached down, wanting to give Andrea even more pleasure, imagining how it’ll feel like to have her face twisted to the stimulus, he wanted her to writhe and cry out in delight but Andrea stopped him so fast by holding him by the wrist.Andrea had raised her upper body, supporting it with her shoulders so she could stop Rio from going further.“That’s enough, we shouldn’t do this” Andrea adjusted herself so she was sitting upright while avoiding Rio’s curious eyes.“Goodnight Rio…you can use the spare room” And with that, Andrea stood and walked hastily to her room. Rio didn’t know how to feel seeing her restless expression a
Andrea felt when the warmth enveloping her disappears but she was too tired to stand up and now she couldn’t stop thinking all about it.“Hey! Earth to Andy!” Daisy half-screamed, snapping her fingers in Andrea’s face to break her from her trance.“Um yeah…sorry, what were you saying?” Andrea asked absentmindedly while bringing her palm over her face to wake her tired eyes.“You look like a walking zombie right now, did you not get any sleep? I thought we’d be celebrating since I just got back but you don’t look so glad” Daisy pouted as she took a seat opposite Andrea who seems rather distracted though she had multiple files in front of her.“Sorry…there’s just so much on my mind right now, I’m glad you got back safely” Andrea forced a smile before Daisy narrowed her eyes at her in suspicion.“I still don’t know how you manage to get the president of Boris enterprise to help us, but you’ve gotta check the company’s platform, it’s literally what everyone is talking about.” Daisy beamed
“What are you doing here?” Andrea demanded the moment Oliver walked right into her office. Seeing that face again gave her mixed feelings. That same eyes that had gazed at her so warmly, as he touched and caressed her so gently. ‘Seriously, get your shit together, this man in front of you…isn’t Rio’ but what’s with that look Oliver was giving him, he almost looked shy before he cleared his throat.“You don’t have to be so cold y’know, I’m here to offer you a deal” Oliver paused glancing at Daisy who narrowed his face in confusion. Andrea thinking he wanted Daisy gone, instantly communicated with her with a look. Daisy understanding what she meant turned after a polite nod to Oliver and trod out cautiously.“Who was that? I felt like I’ve seen her somewhere” Oliver asked with a curious glint in his eyes.“That’s the head designer of Vibrant brand, she’s also a friend of mine, got a problem?” Andrea asked curtly as she rose in her multicoloured designer suit and skirt before sashaying
“It’s been four days since Rio last surfaced, or that I’ve felt him surface, I don’t know why but he’s been ridiculously quiet. Normally I’d wake up next to that girl but I’ve been waking up in my bed, I don’t get it” Oliver explained to Ray as he sat in his consultation chair.“Really? That doesn’t seem like something he’ll do without cause, will you like me to talk to him?” Ray asked after he finished scribbling down a couple of things.“Well, if you promise me you won’t betray me like you did the last time” Oliver insisted and Ray nodded.“I promise” Ray assured. “You still haven’t been able to face thunder and lightning have you?” Ray asked and Oliver nodded. Any time it thunders, his body grows stiff and he starts to shake and hyperventilate, and he would always hear the sounds of cars crashing but before he could start envisioning it, Rio would take over.“Rather than hypnosis, what about I stimulate him into protecting you again-“You always call that protecting, it’s weird, do
