(Caleb's POV)She hasn't talked to me since that day. I don't think I even saw her these days. I am beginning to feel restless, which was not helping my work progress. Furthermore, I was interrupted by a knock on the door."Come in," The door opens and Lucas from the security analysis department comes in, which was one of the members of Ana's department."Mr. Carter. I was sent here for the updates." He says. I looked up at him and didn't say anything for a good second. "I want you to go back to Ms. Anastasia and told her to come with the reports. That is her job." I order it coldly as he stares with a look of surprise. Nodding his head, he walked out of my office.A couple of minutes later, I could hear two people right behind my door, arguing. It didn't take a long time to recognize those two voices as Lucas and Ana. The quarrel went on for a couple of minutes until a knock resounded on the door."Come in," The door opens slowly. I didn't bother to lift my head as my focus is on t
(Anastasia's POV)I had been strolling to solve this issue for a while. Some of the assets that are our company owned currently have very low security. As I was typing away on the computer, the chief walked inside the office."Good Morning." Our chief greeted. We all turned our heads at him. "I have some news for you all." Everyone's attention immediately fell on him."Mr. Carter had called me earlier and told us that he needed a replacement for a temporary assistant. An important company meeting is occurring tomorrow and Kent was just assigned to another department as he was promoted. He needs an immediate temporary one until he can find a permanent one." He explains, then everyone around me begins whispering to each other."Doesn't Isabella usually do this? Where is she?" I turned my head as one guy behind my back questioned, and everyone agreed with him."Well yes. I would usually send Isabella, but she isn't here today, and she won't be coming back for a couple more days." His eyes
(Anastasia's POV)"H-home." I stuttered out after his intense gaze locked on me for way too long. His face was carved into a smirk."Very well my wife. Now, back to work. We will discuss your punishment at home." He said while motioning for me to exit. I didn't even need another word of confirmation before bolting back toward my office.I just sat at my desk for a good couple of minutes contemplating the embarrassing events that just occurred, while cursing myself.Why does it always happen to me?!***Laying on the mattress, I refused to push myself to get off. I was going to be late for work but at this point, I didn't care. A knock on my door startled me as I lifted my head.The door opened and Rosalinda walked in. "Good Morning, Madam. Breakfast is ready. I was a little concerned since you usually come down by this time. Is everything okay?" She asks with a smile. "Of course, Rosalinda. Thanks for the breakfast but I'll just have my coffee. You can save it for when I come back." I
(Anastasia's POV)Caleb opens the door widely causing my naked skin to shiver through the frigid breeze thrusting inside the house.I was taken back to see Lianne with her luggage, drenched in sweat, her left cheek is crimson red and her countenance looks miserable."Lianne? Are you okay?" Caleb asks with concern. He held her luggage, leading her towards the living room as I followed them behind."C-can I stay here for a while?" Lianne said with her watery crimson eyes. It seems like she's not in good condition right now."Of course, you can, Lianne." I was surprised glancing at Caleb, he is caressing her head to keep her calm while staring at her, full of worries. He became soft and gentle in an instant.He is always gentle when it comes to his best friend, Lianne. But I don't know why my chest felt a tingling sensation and was about to tear up. Why can't he be fully gentle with me? Why only to Lianne? Is she that special to him?I lowered my head as I let out a chuckle. Who am I to
(Caleb's POV)I am at the top floor of the company and was getting fully dressed accompanied by Josh and Damian, who were patiently waiting for me to finish in the next room.A smile escapes from my lips as I remember Anastasia last night. I felt a boner last night but I held myself devouring her beautiful body as that was her punishment. Her beautiful face keeps rummaging in my mind and I can't help to smile from time to time, remembering her beautiful soul.I finished dressed in a formal neat dark black suit that matched my other accessories as I put on the final of my outfit before heading out of the room."Finally, what took you so long, dude," Damian complained as he stood up from the sofa. Josh just gave me a bright smile on his face as they both walked up in my direction."Looking nice." Josh complimented me while looking at my attire with a curved on his lips. It was a beautiful dark combination that suited my dark and domineering aura."We better get going or we are going to b
(Anastasia's POV)The bright Monday morning shunned the blue sky covered with fluffy white clouds as I walked inside the Carter's Enterprise building."Good morning." I greeted the receptionist with a smile as I swiped my card through."Good Morning, Mrs. Carter," I walked inside the elevator. I took a glance one more time at the watch on my wrist which indicates 6:57 am before I press the top floor.Taping my foot on the glass floor repetitively, I tried to calm my nerves as people got on and off the elevator to their sections. When it finally reached the top floor, I glance back at my watch as I exited the elevator once again, 6:59 am. I hastened walked into his office and knocked on his door."Come in." His hoarse voice spoke coldly.I opened the door slightly before I entered fully inside his office. Walking towards the table, I placed the coffee in front of him before taking a seat. He looked up at me as he nodded."Morning, I am on time," I said grinning while placing the files
(Anastasia's POV)I groaned to myself as my empty stomach starts grumbling like a hungry lion. I took a glance at my watch, it was just past one pm and I haven't gotten a chance to eat my breakfast yet.Setting the papers on the desk, I stood up and strode my feet to the door. I stuffed my hand in my pocket walking towards the elevator, taking a few glances at Caleb's office, but he is nowhere to be found. He must be still in a meeting.I quickly walked into the cafeteria room. Feeling a little lonely, eating by myself, I took out my phone and ask Ava to have snacks with me. But they are having a meeting, so she is out. I decided to eat alone then.I was silently eating a macaroon in the corner inside this wide expanded room filled with few employees as they are busy devouring their own business while I was busy with my own business too. I was about to take a huge bite when my name echoed inside the cafeteria causing me to stop in a trance.I turned my head and see Byron runs in my dir
(Anastasia's POV)Caleb's brows were drawn together. Then, Lianne followed his gaze.I don't know how to react in this situation but all I know is my heart is about to burst. I looked away from them trying to remain composure. As much as I want to drag Lianne by her hair out of Caleb's room, I need to control my emotion as I am not his real wife."What is it?" Caleb asked. Lianne is already leaning on the couch with crossed arms while Caleb strides his feet towards my direction with a frown face.What? Did I interrupt their romantic moments? Am I on their way? I rolled my eyes out of annoyance."I need a suitcase, mine's broken, just send it to my room," Turning my back without waiting for him to respond, striding my feet back to my room.I almost burst into outrage.***I exited the bathroom, yawning, after being done cleaning myself, and yet, still sleepy. I haven't slept a wink last night and don't ask me why. They are just very close like real siblings, don't get them wrong. But
