Dorian while still smiling said, "Please call me Dorian, calling me sir makes me feel like an old man and I'm not like the Grumpy and arrogant man sitting in there" he said and Mabel laughed at his words even though she had no intention of actually calling Dorian by his name.She immediately clasped her hand over her mouth when she realized she laughed at Christian’s expense.“It’s okay to laugh, I won’t snitch on you,” Dorian said in a whisper. While Christian didn’t hesitate to act cold to his enemies, Dorian always liked to be friendly with them in order to break their wall before finally breaking them.He believed the strike was always more lethal when the enemy didn't see it coming and that was what he was trying to do.Having figured out who she was, he was curious to know what was running through her mind, hence the reason he was talking to her. "You know, I’ve been meaning to tell you that I’m impressed with how you’ve handled my brother so far,” Dorian stated. “No one dare
After Christian spoke to Mabel, a helper came inside his room to inform him that someone was waiting for him downstairs. When he got downstairs, he saw that it was a man and the man was Aaron, Christian's right head of Security . “You can leave,” he dismissed the helper who immediately left. "Have you gotten the information?" Christian asked Aaron when they were alone. "Yes sir, I have found out about her," Aaron said, handing Christian an envelope. Christian brought out his phone and dialed a number. After ringing a few times, someone answered. "Get over here, you’re going to want to see this," he informed the receiver and disconnected the call.A few minutes later, the receiver appeared and he was not happy about being asked to come there late at night. "Listen here Christian, because we live beside each other doesn't mean you can call me whenever you like,” Dorian complained.“But it’s okay for you to come whenever you want even when I don’t welcome you?” Christian raised an
Having cautioned herself she went back to the article and she read that he had no love life and had not been spotted romantically with any woman. There had been dating rumours that had come out but he had been quick to shut them off unlike his adopted brother Dorian. ‘Dorian is adopted, wow that's shocking," she mumbled to herself. Mabel became curious as to why Christian hadn’t dated anyone but her thoughts were distracted when she yawned and it made her realize how tired she was. When she looked at the time, she saw it was already past midnight. She immediately closed her laptop, placed it aside and went to bed. Just as expected, sleep immediately came to her and she drifted off to dreamland.****Mabel didn’t know how or when she had gotten there but she found herself in a dark room where she couldn’t see anything. ‘The hell,’ she said and immediately tried to get up. However, she found herself unable to do so as her legs were handcuffed to something.‘You’ve finally woken up, m
"Are you going to speak, or are you just going to stand there and stupidly stare at me?" Christian asked, not realizing what was going on with Mabel.After seeing that vision, Mabel was unable to think straight as all fear was stricken throughout her entire body. Why was she feeling so afraid as though she was the little girl who was dying? She didn’t understand but she understood that she was feeling weaker. "I'm really sorry sir, I didn’t mean to be late and I even woke up early but I fainted for some reason and when I regained consciousness, it was already seven thirty,” Mabel told Christian the truth, her voice sounding hoarse.Christian squinted his eyes at Mabel and he chuckled in amusement. Did she really think he was going to believe her cock-and-bull story?"Oh really, you fainted?" He asked sarcastically. "You have only worked here for a day and you're already feeling unwell?" "I know it’s hard to believe but that is what happened and I apologize for coming in late once
Christian was content seeing Mabel in her current condition. She was flying so high when they first met and now he had deflated her ego. "This is only the beginning of a miserable life, Mabel Pearson," he said as he had sworn to repay her for her actions the first time they met. Mabel dropped the coffee she had made on her desk as she didn’t have the strength to dispose of it. She then walked to her and sat in it before she fell as her heart was spinning. It seems her illness had started acting up again and that was the only explanation she could come up with for what had been happening to her. Mabel grabbed her bag and brought out her medication, the one she had stopped using for some time but always carried in case she needed it.Opening the bottle of water she always carried around in case she had to use the medication, she used them.Mabel then closed her eyes and rested her head on the desk so they would hopefully take effect quickly and restore her body to normal. She had ba
Mabel waited for the pain of bashing her head to come, but it didn’t. Instead, she felt a pair of hands hold her from falling.The last thing she saw was a frowning Christian before she closed her eyes and gave in to the darkness."Mabel" Christian called out her name but she didn’t respond. ‘Shit!’ he cursed in worry and anger as he realized he had overworked her. Without wasting time, he lifted her in his arms and walked towards a wall. He then pressed a button on the wall and scanned his finger. A door suddenly appeared and it led to a room. Christian carried Mabel into the room and placed her on the bed. It was his private room in his office where he stayed if he needed to work late. It was like his mini home equipped with basic amenities.After placing her on the bed, he brought out his phone and immediately called out his doctor to come and examine Mabel. ‘Don’t you dare die on me!’ he said to the unconscious girl on the bed.The doctor came about thirty minutes after Christi
Mabel looked at Christian and he did not appear to be joking about using the gun. Having been grazed by him, she decided not to push it as something told her was itching to put a bullet in her arm. “You’re wasting my time,” Christian said to her and Mabel knew that she had no choice but to eat. She slowly picked up the bag and she started to eat. Christian decided to watch her eat as she could decide to act smart if he left the room. Knowing that Christian was watching her made Mabel eat quickly as she felt uncomfortable especially with the way he stared at her coldly.“I’m full,” she said after some time. Christian noticed that she didn’t finish the food. He didn’t bother to push it further as one he didn’t really care anymore and two, she wasn’t a baby.He squinted his eyes when he noticed a food stain on the side of her mouth. “You have a little something here,” he said pointing to her face. Mabel immediately tried to wipe it but she kept on missing the spot and this irked Chri
“That long?” Mabel exclaimed. "Alright, Let's go," Christian said, ignoring her question.Even though Mabel wanted to mislead her father, she didn’t feel comfortable with Christian holding her in front of so many people. “Can you walk now?” Christian asked her when she was all set to leave.“Yes, I think so,” Mabel answered and Christian waited for her to walk so he could catch her if she fell. As she wasn’t fully herself yet, she walked slowly and Christian followed closely behind her.As she and Christian proceeded to his private elevator, she could feel people staring at her and it was really making her uncomfortable. Even though he wasn’t carrying her, it was obvious he was helping her keep her balance as he was closely behind her and for Christian who had an infamous reputation of not caring about anyone, it was shocking to the employees.When they arrived at the elevator, Christian pushed the button and the elevator door opened. Maybe because she was in an enclosed space but
