Daddy Please! Chapter Forty Three - Maria
Not only did I not get a new office, fate also has other surprises for me. Or should I say, Mrs Levaughn and her twisted humour. Brandon had taken a sudden leave - something about a family emergency - and Mrs LeVaughn had summoned me to her office about an hour ago. "You'll be accompanying Mr. Sterling to a meeting with a potential investor. As you know, Brandon's away and well, someone's gotta be his assistant," She'd said But why me? There were at least 200 other employees in the company but somehow, I had to be the one to go with him.But I could not say no. The last thing I wanted was to raise questions I could not give answers to.Now, I sat at the back of Petyr's black Mercedes in a navy pencil skirt and a cream crisp blouse, feeling the heat of his body next to mine. I kept my eyes fixed on the window, watching the city pass by, arms crossed, refusing to look at Petyr.The tension between us was like a living, breathing thing at this point. Petyr sat beside me in a suit th
Daddy Please! Chapter Forty Two - Kiara
Something was up with Maria. Whatever was wrong had been going on for days and it gnawed at me.But each time I asked if she was going through something, I got the same reply,"Oh, no. I'm okay,"But only the outright blind would not see that she was not okay.The Maria I knew was vibrant. She was not everybody's person but she was a bubbly fellow.The new version, on the other hand, was a grumpy little bitch.I'd also noticed she was seriously avoiding someone, looking over her shoulder like whoever it was was going to jump on her any moment.To make matters worse, only recently, she began refusing to join me for lunch. Arcodding to her, she preferred to sit in her office and work.That was all she was about. Work. Work. Work.Did she fight with Brandon? I thought. That was probably the reason for her behaviour and I was going to find out.I made my way to Brandon's office, a few doors away from Maria's. He was scrolling on his phone when I entered and he barely acknowledged me. "H
Daddy Please! Chapter Forty One - Maria
For the rest of that week and the next, I did everything in my power to avoid Petyr. His accusations in his office still burned and even though a part of me found his possessiveness sexy, the bigger part did not want it.And I was ready to do whatever it was to keep him at arms length. I stopped going to his office for anything at all, despite the countless 'urgent' emails he sent me. I took the longer and 'less likely to meet him' route to everything. But it was not enough. His office was too close to mine.So this morning, I went to meet Mrs. LeVaughn to discuss a workspace change. "Well, you've barely been there for two months, Maria." She said to me, her hand paused over a stack of sheets. "Why the change?"I forced a smile, "I just think I don't put in my best there. I also feel like I'm under a lot of pressure. A better spot will help me focus. You know, with the new client pitches coming up," I tried to explain. She raised a brow at me, "Honey, I'd like to help you, I pro
Daddy Please! Chapter Forty - Erica
It was a miracle I got home safely and in one piece with all the anger hammering at my soul.I couldn't count how many times the other cars honked at me, how many times the drivers cursed at me as I served recklessly.I could imagine how disappointed the police officers would be if they found out that it was an expectant mother driving so carelessly.And Damien, I knew if he got to know how I'd driven, he would take away my driving privileges and force a driver on me no matter what I said. I turned off the engine in the garage of our mansion, slamming the door shut as I got out.The revelation in Dad's office had shattered any last bit of love and respect I had for him. The betrayal cut so deep. And now, I was filled with a hatred so fierce it consumed me.As a matter of practice, Damien always welcomed me in the grand living room. He'd always touch my belly and give me a million and one kisses.But for some reason, he was not downstairs when I entered.That was a good thing, though.
Daddy Please! Chapter Thirty Nine - Erica
What the hell is going on? That was the question on my mind when I bumped into Maria, stepping out of my father's office with tears running down her face.That was the last thing I expected to see."Maria," I called as she disappeared into her office, slamming the door behind her.When I stepped into Dad's office, he was standing behind his desk, head bent, drink in hand. The air in the room felt heavy, charged with whatever drama had just gone on in here. I cleared my throat and held up the folder that was tucked under my arm, "Dad, I've got the Q3 projection for you. I thought you might want to have a look before meeting with Mr. Anand tomorrow"Vikram Anand was a new potential investor. "Thanks, Erica," He said, not looking at me. He took the folder and placed it on his desk without opening it, "Good work. I'll have a look as soon as I can. Anything else?"I was about to shake my head but Maria's tear streaked face flashed in my mind. I leaned against the desk, "Actually yeah. I
Daddy Please! Chapter Thirty Eight - Maria
The memory of Brandon's unexpected kiss stayed with me longer than I expected.My lips still tinged from the shock. My mind replayed the moment over and over again, searching for what I had done to make him think I wanted it. Not once in my entire time spent in Montgomery Grand had it ever occurred to me that Brandon had feelings for me.I curled the ends of my hair as I stared at the figures in my laptop, understanding nothing. A thought crossed my mind, bringing a smile to my cheeks. Petyr.I had not seen him at all since the company dinner.And my body missed him like crazy.In an impulsive decision, I rose from my seat and strutted to his office. With a small knock, I pushed the door open and slipped in, closing it gingerly behind me. He was standing by the window when I entered, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a drink. His broad shoulders looked tense. But sexy. Inviting.He didn't turn to see who it was either.I stepped close enough to him and touched his back."
