CHAPTER 9

Shaun's POV 

"I know you are my boss, but I really do not appreciate you talking to him like that. And what was that, were you trying to ".... She looked at me trying so hard to swallow whatever it is she wants to say.

"You know what, forget it. Please can we go now boss?" More like it. 

"Listen up Chocolate, I do not want to ever see you with Troy, so long as you work for this company, you're mine".

 I bulrt out shamelessly, inhaling her cologne that is now registered in my mine. She smelled like morning dew and lilies on the hills with a topping of chocolate. She smelled like something made for real men. And this fragrance of hers was soothing to me. It calmed my nerves in ways I could only imagine. 

"Sir we are outside and won't want to give the press the wrong idea now, would we?" I see I have grown on her, I saw that smug smile on her face, she knew now how much I loved her scent. I think she just discovered how to torment me.

"Do not read any meaning into that Miss Blanchard". I said sternly. Not wanting her to know how much I want her naked under a quilt with me and roaming my hands around her hips, her bosom and sucking on them all day long like some hungry babies do.

"Well didn't you just call me Chocolate some minutes back?" Sha asked with a raised brow..

 "You wish, I do not indulge my employees. So Miss Blanchard watch your words." I said feigning irritation for her suggestions. Knowing fully well how much I hate seeing other men speak with her.

She went back into her little lamb mood, just how I want her to be. The walk to our seats was heavy, she kept trying to be well behaved in order to avoid provoking me. Well I want her to misbehave, so I could look at those faint green eyes of hers and that red hair. It makes her beautiful in a very sinful way. My thought was interrupted by Mr Black 

"Hello Mr Vance! Pleasure to finally meet you." Mr Black said reaching out for my hands. His an old and good business partner of mine. His 3 years older than myself. And just like me he is difficult to impress. My business with Mr Black is simple- He finds companies that are worth saving for me, and if it goes south, he ensures I get double my investment. And so far, we've had no such stories.

"Mr Black it's nice to see you again." I noticed that he came with that secretary of his, I think Brenda. She is a beauty but not one I have ever considered mugging. One cause it's obvious that Black has a thing for her and she is a good girl. 

"Hello Mr Vance, good to see you again." Brenda chipped in her greetings plastering her usual bright smile. 

"Brenda, when has it never been good to see you, hope you're fine?" I noticed how shocked Melio looked. Yes Brenda in some ways reminds me of my sister. She is always energetic and going. 

"I see you have a new Secretary, hope she will survive your killer instincts?" Black asked with a smug on his face, guys like us know a thing about how to handle a woman so she comes begging. But I guess I did beat him to the game, Brenda seems to have him wrapped around her fingers.

"Well for her own sake she better know her place". I said that with a very not interested in her looks. I could tell that Melio's eyes held a flash of pain. 

"Hi Miss, what's your name?" Black asked giving her a warm smile.

"Hello Mr Bl...ack and M...iss Brenda, my name is M..Melio Blanchard ". She said in a shaky voice. This was as a result of my hands digging into her lower back. I dug my fingers into her lower back and at some point started drawing little circles so sensually that Melio became hot and flushed. She was trying her best to find a balance that she almost stumbled on.

"Oh my dear, be careful now" Brenda said to Melio looking truly concerned."

"Are you ok Miss Blanchard, you look a little pale and flushed, don't tell me Vance here had you working while sick?" Black asked, giving me the irritated look.

"No I think the air here is a little hot." Melio said, that almost got me laughing.

"Maybe we should all sit down". With that we sat down and placed our order. I had Mark run some errands for me. Like getting her an official car. While discussions were ongoing I had a message from Mark telling me about the condition of the official car for my secretary. I had him get her a 2024 Range Rover sport. He calculated the fees and it was roughly around $122,000 I had it worked immediately, cause it has been my company's basic courtesy to ensure that all secretaries are comfortable. 

"So how did you land such a hot spot beside him?" I heard Brenda ask her.

"Well honestly it was more of an arrangement. My sister had her Miami Branch director speak to her husband's friend kinda stuff. I am just an intern honestly, one that was practically forced on him. No biggie!" She said as if I was not a big deal, this girl.

"So here are the paper works. We have seen the landscape of this company's property, trust me it has rich soil for your agro extension project. It will be perfect. And most interesting, they have some of the best branches, just that their management is really faulty and wasteful". Black said

"What do you think of it Miss Blanchard?" I asked leaning on to let her decide, I am more of the 'show me your brains worth' kinda guy. With that she looked back at her copy of the document.

"Well the landscape would be perfect for not just agro extension, but for a good warehouse as well. Even a live stock ranch and a grape vine yard. Won't be bad." I listened to her, she is really brilliant I must say, she did point out a number of flaws in the scaping which I saw earlier. Now I am curious to see how good it will turn out fucking her while she studies. With that whispered to her.

"Very smart of you. You know, every good girl gets a reward!" She looked at me really flushed this time. Her ears were red and face perfectly flushed. She swallowed, really deep and hard. She looked out of breath which made me tease her further this time out loud.

"And do not forget to breath Miss Blanchard!" I said that looking at her with a straight face. The confusion in her eyes is what I needed exactly to see. I know I had her confused making her feel like she is imagining things. For the first time I could see she involuntarily kept mute. Perfect, exactly how I want her to be sometimes.

"Ok Black, here's the deal, I will offer $30 million now and would wire the rest once my project and market cap team have looked into this project, deal?" 

"Deal Shaun." After a bit of chattering we stood up, and made our way outside.

I could hear her chattering with Brenda and I think they exchanged contacts. 

"Well good for you that Brenda stayed after all your singularities". I said to Black looking at the ladies direction

"Speaking of singularities, how did you end up with such an angel Shaun?"

"She's not mine"...

"Yet. I see the way you look at her, you get mad when she smiles at any other person, like the waiter". Oh for fuck sakes did he have to remind me. Well while at lunch a silly waiter boy tried flirting with her just because his got the body mass. And she smiled,  fucking showing him how great her dentition is. Silly little goose of a waiter.

After all the chattering we exchanged final pleasantries and were headed for our next meeting. I could tell she was uncomfortable with those shoes on her. Whoever told her to wear those as an intern?

"I feel happy that those shoes hurt your legs, next time wear something more comfortable". She looked at me like though I had hit my head on a rock.
