Falling for the Escort

　　Aleia’s pov　　“Where is your assistant?” my chief financial officer asks from my office door.　　I lifted my head from the report that I was writing on my desk to look at him as he walked into my office like he owned the place. She took a seat at my table and looked at me with furrowed brows as I moved my gaze from my Melissa to the door.　　“She isn’t here yet?” she asks　　“Nope”　　By then irritation was already building at the pit of my stomach.　　“Wow, you look murderous. Ever considered giving her this look before? She asks me　　I released a sigh, my growing annoyance at my assistant’s lateness was beginning to boil over into anger. I shifted the report aside, my concentration down the drain. “I need a new assistant”　　“We will get to that but I wanted to let you know that we succeeded in buying Mr. Hank’s company, the one you were looking to acquire with lesser money than you intended. Can you believe that?” Melissa said excitedly.　　I allowed myself to squeal for a minute, it was

　　Theo’s pov　　Nobody paid me any attention as I walked through the hallways of the company, not that I expected them to. If it was any other company, people would stare if you were walking through the hallway whistling like I was but over here, we were a sophisticated bunch.　　I was on my way to the CEO's office for my latest promotion on a job well done. You see, I just completed a project for the company that brought in a lot of profit and more clients for us. I worked so hard in the last six months to make sure I got the chance to be in charge of the project and when I did, I worked even harder to make sure my team and I gave it our best.　　Looks like it paid off seeing as I was a few steps away from getting my dream position, I pushed the door to a lounge set up outside for our ceo. It felt like I was waiting inside the principal’s office which I was called in a lot during my time in high school.　　The secretary looked up from behind her desk, her face paling slightly when she saw

　　Theo's POV　　We left the club shortly after a while. I took a cab to my place with Gage because he didn't want to sleep in his house tonight. I am pretty sure he couldn't remember the address because of how wasted he was. He was slurring his words and that was more than enough takeaway to know that he was really drunk.　　Henry left to his own place with a promise to call the next day, I took gage home to mine.　　I dropped him on the couch because I didn't have the strength to take him up to the guest bedroom, he weighs a ton not that he would admit it.　　I trudged upstairs to my own room and without removing my clothes, I jumped straight to bed.　　My dreams were filled with thoughts of a sensual woman like the lady I saw in the club. It was her in my dream but this time she was dancing for me. Just for my eyes, teasing me and calling out to me like a siren.　　I was like a dog in heat, I sniffed her hair then her neck, and I trailed my tongue on the column of her neck to the curve of

　　Aleia's POV　　I concentrated on the rest of my work, smiling to myself slightly for making Trina happy. It was the one thing I wished for when I started out.　　But that didn't happen but I still made it and hearing what Trina said made me realize that I was a role model to some of these young ones and I didn't even know it. I think my next project after the real estate thing is to venture into a female empowerment program for young girls who are interested in making it out there in the business world.　　It was hard for me when I started, I met some terrible people and if I wasn't cynical, I would have gotten into some serious trouble. But it was all over and I was right where I wanted to be.　　Happy and successful, just the way it is meant to be.　　It was nice to see the smile on her face today that made me realize that I have been taking my position for granted. I was so focused on being successful that I forgot about others that needed assistance too.　　I was going to start up a pr

　　Theo's pov　　For a while now, I have been doing nothing but sitting around and sending the money I should be saving. It was fun at first but now life is getting real.　　I lay in my bed holding the business card in my hand, it was beautiful and modern but not too shabby.　　I bit my bottom lip and turned the card over to find a telephone number.　　I dialed the number and waited patiently to pick it up.　　It rings and I hear Henry's voice on the other line.　　"Hello," he said.　　I panicked and hung up immediately. What was I thinking?　　I couldn't do this, I had bills piling up and I still couldn't do it. How the hell was I going to pay my bills? I had to pay for my house, car and other bills I haven't paid. I was in what most people call a rut.　　I thought I could do it but I just couldn't at all. Gage has tried so many times to convince me but I was as stubborn as a mule. I refuse to go there. I would be going out with strangers for money?　　That doesn't sound like me at all. I though
