SAINT’S POV

I glanced at Leslie and shook my head. Her head stayed down as she peered down into her work iPad. It came with the job. I smiled as she scrunched up her nose. I noticed that she did that whenever she was confused about something.

“You know lunch breaks exist so you can take a break from work, right?" I asked when I couldn't hold it in anymore.

“There is so much for me to learn. I can't afford to slack for even a single minute." She didn't even look up at me. "Baxter Group is way mo

    LESLIE'S POVI groaned when the shrill ringing of my phone permeated through my sleep. I fished out my hand, searching for the treacherous device blindly. I had only managed to fall asleep at the crack of dawn, thanks to Saint's never ending desire and strength.I finally found it and answered the call without opening my eyes. “Hel–”"Leslie, go online right now!”My eyes snapped open and I checked the ID of the call. It was Selene. I glanced at Saint who was still asleep before sitting up and putting the phone back in my ear. "Why? What's going on?”"Someone left a comment on the pictures you posted last night. It is trending. You have to go and check it out. Just…just don't pay too much attention to what people are saying. People are always going to say shit even if they don't know half of it.”I clenched the duvet. "Thank you. You don't need to worry, no matter what people say, I'm sure I've heard worse.”I ended the call, noting the slight tremor of my fingers. I logged in to my a

    KAYLA'S POVMy ears rang at his question and I wished I could be anywhere else, anywhere but here. I had thought about telling Desmond many times and every one of those times, it seemed like a bad decision. I was not even sure what I wanted to do yet. Telling him would only complicate things further.“It's not. Will you let me go now?" I tried to school my face into indifference.“Don't fuck with me, Kayla," he sneered. “The timeline matches when we got together. Is this baby mine?" "I could have slept with someone else the next day. How would you know?” I rolled my eyes. "For the last time, let go of me. I do not want to be seen with the man who tried to ruin my family and led my father astray.”"Yet you're carrying his baby,” he smirked."I already said it's not yours,” I glared. "I would never carry a Whitmire’s offspring.”"I don't believe you one bit. Your left eye twitched when you said that so you're lying.”What psychological bullshit was he spewing?“My shoulders hurt," I h

    KAYLA'S POVI wringed my hands together as I sat in the white and cold corridor. Several pregnant women littered the length of it, all of them with their husbands.I was the only one alone. The silly, happy smiles on their faces was a contrast to the terror in my heart while I waited for my turn. I felt sweat trickle down my back despite the air conditioner placed at corners of the corridor.My phone rang and I jumped before grabbing it, my hand slippery. I gulped when I saw mum's name flashing across the screen and I looked around before answering the call. “Hello—”"Where the hell are you? Have you forgotten that we were supposed to go visit your Dad today?”I did. I sighed and gripped my skirt. "Can you please go alone today? Something came up and I'm far from the city." “You don't even have a job, what something could have come up?" She scoffed. "I don't understand you and your brother anymore. Mitch rarely comes home and has refused to see Sage. Now, you too?”"Mum, please. I'

    LESLIE'S POVI kept my eyes closed as the makeup artist worked on my face. My stomach curled and I had to place my hand on my thigh to stop my leg from bouncing.Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to this.A few minutes later, she moved away from me declaring she was done but I was not free as the others pounced on me to get my accessories on and finally, I was free to leave.I stood, my hands smoothening out the non-existent creases on my suit skirt. My first look for the day was a lady suit in black and white stripes with red bottoms heels to match. I looked badass and I loved it.“Thank you," I smiled as they gawked at me, well more like at what they created. My steps were hesitant as I stepped outside and walked up to Saint whose back was currently turned to me.I tapped him on the shoulder and he looked back at me, his eyes going wild. He was dressed in a black tuxedo with a white shirt but he managed to make it look more than that.“What do you think?" I held my breath. He placed h

    LESLIE'S POV “What did you just say?" Arabella chuckled and stepped closer to me, her crazily long heels giving her height advantage over me. “I should apologize to a mere assistant, seeing as she is even in the wrong? Is this you exerting revenge on me?” "You have done nothing to me.” I shook my head. "You could say I'm trying to protect your reputation in a way. Accept her apology and apologize for slapping her." “And why should I do that?" Her voice dipped. "Would you pay the damages for her?” "We will decide that after you apologize.” I glanced at my wristwatch, this was taking too long. It was almost lunch time and I promised Saint that I would have lunch with him. “Well, in your dreams.” She took her seat and turned to the assistant she had slapped. “Go get me another bottle of water." The assistant nodded with teary eyes and turned to leave but I grabbed her arm and shook my head. I didn't want to make a scene but I wasn't going to let this injustice prevail like t

    LESLIE'S POV“Right, the annual CEO lineup gala is next week. I should have told you days ago but it completely skipped my mind. I'm sorry." Saint told me as we reached the office.“Next week?" I blinked. “I guess I have to look for a dress immediately." “I can find you one, if you will trust my taste.”"I do,” I chuckled as I remembered his amazing gown selection for the Baxter gala. It would have been a disaster without his help. “I look forward to seeing what you decide on." We both left the car and got into the elevator. Thankfully, it remained empty till we reached my floor. I turned to Saint and leaned up to press a kiss to his lips. “You didn't ask for a kiss today." “Oh, I thought—" I kissed him again. "I don't know what it is but you thought wrong. Let's have lunch together today, okay?”"Okay,” he grinned. "Have a nice day.”"You too.” I winked at him before leaving the elevator, a skip in my steps. I greeted my team with as much enthusiasm as I felt before going to my o
