I stepped out of the bathroom after washing myself for over thirty minutes. I was proud of the night I spent with the man last night, but now, I suddenly feel stupid about it.
I moved towards the huge antique designed mirror, admiring my body as I glared at it. I am a beautiful woman. Why will Steve feel the need to cheat on me? Maybe Diana seduced him.That lying bitch! Ugh! I badly wanted to slap her last night if it wasn't for Steve who stopped me.I was done dressing up and I picked up my mobile phone to continue my job hunting. I've submitted thousands of applications to many companies but none of them were ready to pick me, not even for an interview.I would begin to feel depressed if it wasn't for Steve who encouraged me to stop for a while and I did. I never thought that he was using me.I had to continue, I needed to job hunt. I needed the money and more resources to fight him in court and sustain myself.I dropped my mobile phone after submitting three more applications. I went into the kitchen to prepare a meal to eat.Heading out, after settling for cereal, I heard my phone ring and I rushed into the bedroom to get it. I was finally able to pick it up in the third ring."Hello" I greeted politely and it was returned to me by the caller. A calm female voice asked if I was Sarah Parker and I agreed. I had to get my surname changed soon. Since I am divorcing Steve."Yes I am," I replied."You have been called for an interview offer from Just-Technologies company. Please check your email for details and be early!" The woman stated.Immediately the call ended, the joy I felt in my heart knew no bounds. This came at the right time, Just when I needed the job.I immediately checked my email and I got it as expected. What the heck? I exclaimed, seeing the date and time scheduled for the interview. It was fucking today!In the next one hour, I was expected to be at Just-Technologies for an interview.Without wasting any time, I rushed to my wardrobe to pick out some corporate wear for the event while I prayed to get the job.JUSTINIt's strange that the woman I picked up from the bar last night didn't take any money from me. I thought she was a prostitute but I was wrong.No normal slut will leave without getting their money. Or was I mistaken? I've only slept with slut and this was a strange one.Last night when I spoke with her, she seemed like she had something bothering her. Goodness, I didn't care to ask! I should've asked her what was wrong but I didn't.I was only concerned about getting pleased by her. Cherry, that was the name I gave her. I didn't even get to know her real name. Why do I want to know her name? She is just a slut, right? I should be able to meet her again when I get to the club tonight.I stood up and headed to the bathroom, hearing my mobile phone ring made me return to the bed to get it."Hello" I forced myself to greet."Good morning boss, You are needed in the company. Today is the interview for getting your personal assistant!" Fabian, my bodyguard explained."Okay, I'll be downstairs " I said to him and ended the phone call.I had to go get dressed. I will resolve the issue with the woman later.Leaving my bedroom, I noticed the piece of clothing laying near the bed– on the ground and I picked it up.It was her panties, a beautiful white laced pant. I couldn't hold myself back from sniffing. Reminds me of her.As I headed out, I couldn't stop thinking if I would see her again. I had to see her again, I had to have her to myself. She was good…We arrived at the company an hour later. I had to do some stuff before heading to my office where I would receive the candidates for the interview.I waited for them to come in, while I had her panties in my hand under my desk. Fidgeting it with my fingers. It felt like I was touching her..DIANA'S POV I paced the length and breath of the house, waiting for the arrival of Steve. My phone began ringing again. I looked at the caller and it was the man from the one night stand.I do not know how he got to know my number, and since then, he has been bugging me ever since.Then I got a text from him, “you can't hide forever, you know.” the message read.Oh goodness gracious, what have I gotten myself into. What if he told Steve? I would be done for and that is for sure. I wouldn't let Sarah laugh at me. That's not going to happen. In fact she was the cause of all this instead. If she had just signed the papers, then maybe! Maybe I wouldn't have charged her and then gone to the bar to cool off only to end up in another's bed. Steve would never forgive me. We were not together yet but he had proven to me how much he loved Sarah and this would just give him an avenue to kick me out which I wouldn't let happen.Just then I got a message that sent me up on my feet as I headed fo
Sarah's POVThey immediately broke off from their hug, I tried as much as I could to contain the hurt that I was feeling. You are here just for Patty and that's all.“What happened to knocking before you entered my office, Ms. Parker? His voice deepened in his full masculine voice without even batting his eyes as he spoke to me.For a moment it felt like my voice had just vanished into thin air, I quickly cleared my throat as I tried to get rid of the embarrassment.So sorry sir. But I'm here to request you for something “ he gave a slight frown in his face, as he gazed at me, the moment he saw Patty and in together with me, he cooed as he let go of Nicole.“What's the Problem, that it couldn't wait?” He was not interested in what I was planning to say.I took a deep breath then began,“About Patty's request for an upfro_” he didn't wait for my response instead he cut me off.“That had already been decided. She cannot take another upfront in the same month. Ms. Parker.“But?” I tried
Sarah's POVI didn't mean to say those hurtful words to him, I saw his eyes dimmer as she plunged into sadness.“What's with you Sarah?”My subconscious yelled at me, I was happy to see that he was worried about me but on second thought..his worries were dangerous and if Nicole sees that we were close, there was nothing holding him back from firing me and making sure I don't get a job in the entire state.“Did you just look me in the eyes and tell me to leave? In front of him?” He pointed at Steve, who rolled his eyes in return. He seems to be enjoying this drama of mine.“Yes. Because I am not comfortable with what you're trying to do. Steve is still my legal husband till we're divorced. So it's disrespectful to me if you keep bugging me all the damn time?” I finally breathe out as I said. He stood there in uttermost shock as he watched me spill the most hurtful words to him, I quickly avoided his gaze because I did too. I was not ready mentally for him either. I was too broken to g
JUSTIN'S POVI picked up my telephone as I dialed Steve's office number.“Send Sarah to my office right now.” I knew he was going to counter back so I hung up immediately. I do not know what dad and Nicole are planning but taking Sarah away from me was not part of the agreement.I stood up as I paced the length and breadth of my office . I was worried, what could I do now? It's not like we're both on good terms that I could just walk up to her to explain things.Shortly there was a knock on the door, I darted my eyes to the door, as I rushed to have my seat. I adjusted my shirt and tie, as I cleared my throat, using my most deep baritone voice to use.“So come in.” I said softly. I was awaiting her entry, as the doorknob turned but it wasn't Sarah that was sent from the financial department.It was Patricia..or Patty whatsoever.I felt Insulted, I felt displeased. A typical example of what I ordered versus what I got.“Sir?” Patty called as I just stared at her with a few frowns on
Sarah's POV“Sarah.” He called, as he fell back towards his seat. I stood there with no words coming out. Whichever way, I just have to learn to work with him.Oh goodness gracious when has it been heard that two ex-couple worked alongside each other or maybe I should have told Mr. Louis Steve were once married and working with him could be weird but I didn't want to sound unprofessional. Now looks, who's already tired of just staring at his face?Me!I cleared my throat, I hate to say something. He was my boss anyway. For the first time in a long time, I wished Justin was my boss, I could still keep up with the silent treatment and cruel words but this? This is weird and awkward.“Uhmm Sir.” I began switching to honorifics immediately. “I was sent here by the chairman himself. And I'd love it if we are both cordial about it. This is just work and work it would be.” I stayed, gesturing with my hands to state my points better. But instead of giving me an answer, he sat there starin
Sarah's PovI was stunned for a moment, what the hell is his father doing in the company.“Sarah? He is the founder, duhh?” My subconscious says to me, I quickly snapped out of it as I stretched my hands for a handshake.But instead he stood there as he looked at me with contempt, his gaze could literally rip me off the dress I was wearing af for a moment I thought it did. My hand hung in the air for seconds as he continued staring at me like I had dirt in me.“Dad?” Just called for him to take my hand as I was beginning to regret stretching out my hand in the first place. It was an awkward moment. I took back my hand, before greeting.“Good morning sir.” I said halfheartedly, taking a short bow.“So you are Sarah Parker. I thought of you too high but from what I'm seeing, I am disappointed in myself.” He spat out, I felt hurt. Who says something like that to someone. It felt like he had an already reserved hatred for me without even knowing me first.“Dad....stop it! This is an of
