ROSE'S POV.

"Uhm... The family's due to return today." My phone rings; I check. Sharma. "I ditched my election campaign speech today."

"So, you're going to come clean and tell your family everything?" She takes more wine.

"Tell my family what?" I squeeze my face. "Oh no. Are you drunk?"

"Drunk?" She laughs. "I have a higher alcohol tolerance than this." She adds. "You ditched the election? I had expected you to do it since."

"No. Not like I'm out. I just felt suffocated today and needed a break."

"But moral ambassador is not for you." She sees my change in expression and adds quickly, moving closer to me. "No. No. Like, you're moral and all, but I think being a college teacher is all that you should be. I'm not saying you shouldn't dream high. But you've got your own, which is drawing. You're an artist; it's high time you changed that dream into a plan."

"Girl. Let's not do this." Ryan can bring up my drawing because he knows nothing about it, but not Monique. She knows h

    053 MONIQUE'S POV I wrap the jacket tightly around my frame as I unlock my door and step into the living room. I yawn slam the door angrily as I walk straight to my bedroom. I don't know why I'm mad. Desmond and I are nothing, absolutely nothing. Why do I get mad when he reminds me the truth? I was the one who accepted to just having fun I shouldn't ruin it now.I take off his jacket and toss it on the chair—his jacket? Oh shit, I pick it up with an audible sigh. I forgot to return Desmond's jacket. Just when I thought I could avoid him all through tomorrow and the next, now I have a reason to go look for him. It's been just one week at DS Groups, I wonder if I can cope for longer.I fold the jacket to drop on the nearest chair and a photo slips out the pocket. I pick it up and my eyes go wide, and my body skips. I stare at the photo of Rose in my hands. So, Desmond still carries her around? He's still into her? And I'm here having dirty thoughts about him? I rub my eyes and carefull

    46. DESMOND'S POV She's blushing really hard. "Don't get too ahead if yourself. I still hate you." She whispers. "You say you hate me, but I don’t believe you." I tease. She snarls attempting to push herself from me, but then I press my body against hers and whispers, "you just proved you want me." "I hate everything in you Desmond Smith." She jabs get fingers in my chest. "You embody everything that's wrong with your gender." She stares at my lips and scream. "I hate you!" She's lucky the boardroom is soundproof, but I still catch a few employees who're standing outside by the glass window glancing at it. They can't see us though, but it still feels weird, like we're being watched. She bits her lips, trying to hide her smile. "Do you think they know what we're doing in here?" I can't help it, so I let the smirk out. "Depends on what version of you they believe. The one who hates me or the one who dreams about me." She leans in, our bodies still pressed together, eyes on my l

    052. MONIQUE'S POV "This?" She runs her fingers along the embroidery. "It was attached to the parcel I won it at Florida's last year festival.""You attend spring festivals?" I can't hide the disbelief in my voice."I love spring festivals.""Oh no." I say with a small laugh. "Would you accompany me to my mom's spring festival two weeks from now?"She shifts her head back and stare at me. "It took two kisses in the park to introduce me to your mom?""Treat it as an office obligation.""That wasn't part of my job description.""I'm paying you for it.""Oh... okay." She nods. "Why are you here?""Ahh." I rub my face. "I needed to get some air, and me time but my friends were not feeling it. I had to sneak out of the party like a little girl." I chuckle awkwardly and turn to see her reaction."It must really suck, trying to relive your frat days now that you all are old.""Old?" I clutch my chest. "We're still young men in our prime.""Okay." She throws her hands up in the air. "Don't s

    051. DESMOND'S POV Can a business related emergency make her leave her house by this time to meet me at the park? I sigh. Fuck it, there's only one way to find out. I call the first time. It rings but goes unanswered. I try again, and on the third ring she picks. "Are you home?"Her voice is low and drowsy when she answers the call. "Huh... who's this""Desmond Smith. Your boss." I tune my voice to sound as authoritative as possible."Holy crap." Her voice comes alive immediately, like she's finally woken from sleep."There's been some issues with Moore's payment." The line rolls out perfectly. I have no idea why I'm doing this."Shit!""Can you meet me at the park in 20.""It's night." She whines in protests."It's a work emergency." I counter."Expect me in 20." She says, mumbling something inaudibly before hanging up."I sit in the park alone for the next twenty minutes, staring at the skies and thinking of all the impossible decisions I've made. This one tops it I know how mad Mo

    050 DESMOND'S POVShe's so damn sexy when she's embarrassed. Red Rosy cheeks, wide blue eyes, and parted soft lips. I glance over her briefly, I don't know why Clark is in this elevator with us, we could have been doing something more eventful than staring especially since she's made an oral deal to make out whenever we get the chance. Oral deal? I cough back a laugh.Monique grimace at me, her eyes darting between Clark and I maybe thinking if she should run back. "I didn't hear anything. I swear." I say the words so quickly they sound false. "We won't make you uncomfortable." I add."Okay." That's all she says before shifting to the far end of the elevator. It seems she's not in the mode for a fight. That's makes both of us I'm so tired from the call with my mom, I'd be fucked if I have to fight another blonde woman. I sigh and lean back against the body of the elevator with my eyes closed. Let Clark do the brainstorming I have to think on how to handle my mom... help my mom.My m

    49. MONIQUE'S POV I stare at the screen of my phone, quickly regretting the message I just sent. I toss the phone aside and sigh, glancing at the load of work before me. I yawn, I doubt I can still get any work done, I should go home now. I stare at the door where Desmond just walked out through and not long ago Clark was in here too. Damn, I hope he keeps his big mouth shut. It was hard enough trying to get people to debunk the false rumors. How much now that it's real. I had still hear a few faint movements outside the hall, meaning Desmond and Clark hasn't left here. I don't think I can face either of them. So, I simply sit back behind my desk and carefully arrange each book. By the time, I'm halfway through the task, my phone beeps with an incoming call. My eyes flicker to the phone. It's Rose. Damn, why did she have to see the message so fast? I take deep breaths and rehearse what I'm going to say, but then it's stupid. So, I just answer the call. "Hey Rose, how is your healt
