LOVE AND LUST CHAPTER SIXTEEN (PAST)
Leila stepped into the company feeling like a boss. She felt really optimistic about resuming work. Everything was going smoothly for her. She got into the elevator that led her to the executive floor, that was where she stayed because she was the secretary to the CEO. And she was literally sleeping with him. The thought of it made her giggle. “Miss Baker, good morning, I heard you were feeling under the weather, hope you are good and feeling better now? Jone asked. Leila smiled in response and immediately the elevator notified her that it was her black, she left hurriedly. She did not mean to be rude but Skinny legged Jone always got on her nerves by acting sweet all the time even though almost every one knew she was a big gossiper that did not like her business. She could not deal with that today and given the type of mood she was in, she was sure the day would go on smoothly. She got to her desk and dropped her bag before going to Gavin’s office to check out the files that had

Jones left after throwing her tantrums and playing the victim like she was the ‘fiancée’. Leila sat down on the office desk, she was beyond humiliated, she was mortified. This was a nightmare. And there was nobody she could call right now. The meeting was in less than 30 minutes and she was very sure the board members would have hear about the SECRETARY SLEEPING WITH HER BOSS. Leila was so close to having a panic attack. The thing is, she was wrong to underestimate Adele. She braced up herself to text Frank, she knew he had not seen or heard anything, that is why he has not come rushing to her office. She dropped a quick emergency text for him and in less that two minutes, he was beside her. His expression was gloomy, he probably heard and did not want to tell her till after she was done with the meeting but Jones had told her and now she was not sure if she could speak boldly at the executive meeting. Those people that made up the board were selfish, rich and obnoxious people that di

Leila felt like time had stopped, her legs were beginning to hurt and her head was aching and she could feel her heart in her mouth and the list could go on and on. Everything was wrong today. She was already starting to regret why she came in to work today. She could have stayed an extra day and even if this happened, it would have given her an heads up and maybe she could have braced herself well enough and talked herself on how to cope with being the center of attention till the whole thing blew over. Leila Baker sighed, today was definitely going to be a long day and it was not even close to end of the work day for her. She was sure the meeting could not have lasted for more than ten minutes but it felt longer now that she thought about it. She felt like she was there and she was not also there. Like her body was there and her mind was somewhere else entirely. Someone clearing their throat brought her back to being present in the board room. “I asked if you were just his secr

Leila stood there, her head was throbbing, her day was looking like a curse at this point. She forced herself to not breakdown, the tears were threatening to come but she smiled through it, clearing her throat lightly before replying, “I am very sorry sir and respectfully, i do not think I would place myself in a position to lie on television. Mr. Hasters and I were at fault and I do not believe I should be the only one to take the fall for both of us” Mormont laughed sarcastically, “The meeting is over Miss Baker, you can help yourself out. Thank you.” Leila smiled awkwardly. She picked up the files from the table and took slow strides out of the room. While outside, she took deep breaths to calm herself down. She needed to talk to someone soon, she was on the verge of breakdown. Her phone beeped and she checked her lock screen, it was from Gavin, ‘How did the meeting go baby? Handled it well? I have no idea why Armstrong is blowing up my phone. Is something wrong baby?’ Leila

Wait, he was kissing her in public, she tried pushing him off but he only stopped kissing her why he was ready and whispered in her ears, “If they want a show then that is what we are going to give them baby. I have nothing to lose”Leila ran her fingers through his head before kissing him back with everything in her. She kissed him passionately like he was everything and the click of a camera made her pull away from him. Her lips were kiss swollen and she looked flush. Damn! That was good. She smiled at him and he took her hands into his. She braced herself to look at the surroundings and she saw that they had managed to pull in a crowd. She was a little bit shy for having that public display of affection outside but she could not care less as it was. She had gone through so much today and that one kiss made her feel powerful, like a boss. Leila Baker knew she had a hold on Gavin but him breaking up with Adele? She thought it was extreme but she kept her thoughts to herself, she was

It took Leila all she had not to tear up. The apartment was the best gift she had ever received, her feelings were probably just everywhere but she was looking for different ways to thank Gavin for making her smile. The interior decor was plain white with a splash of grey, minimalistic and light just as she liked it, she was surprised he could guess her taste so well. The living room was large and compared to where she was living before? This living room was like three times the space of the other one. She actually smiled genuinely, not forced or anything. She was really happy. She looked up at him with teary eyes, “This is too much Gavin, too much”Gavin Hasters smiled, “Nothing is too much for you Leily-bear, I mean, I do not mean to be too forward or anything and I know we are just starting to know each other on a personal level but you have made me happy in the little time that i have known you than I have been with any other person. You are perfect baby and I would like to expres

Leila Baker hadn’t set foot in New York in three years. She had left with the certainty of never returning, yet here she was, sitting stiffly at the back of her car, She stared out the window, the city had changed since she had last been there. The car came to an abrupt stop in front of Julius & Myres consulting company.A company that once belonged to someone she used to know. Someone who had once mattered. Someone she had vowed to forget. The place looked so different from what she remembered. It was her revenge that fueled her to return and she was going to do all it take. She was lost in thought until a voice interrupted. “Miss Leila, should I drop you off here”. Her driver politely asked.“Yes, thank you. Take the car to the parking lot and meet me here in forty five minutes, I won’t be long” Leila stepped out of the car and stepped into the building, her stiletto heels clicking against the pavement as she smoothed down the crisp lines of her tailored black dress.As she went

Leila Baker let out a deep breath as soon as Gavin Hasters walked out of the office. The air around her still held the faint trace of his cologne, a deep, musky fragrance that spoke of sophistication and wealth. She realized her hands were trembling slightly, and she clasped them together to steady herself. It wasn’t just his looks, it was more of the way his perfect eyes stood out in their blue shade, and the way he kept touching his jaw unconsciously and the way he licked his lips like three times while he was in the office and the way his perfectly chiseled chest looked in the clothes he wore. The list could go on and on. Although she could not deny how stunning he was, it was the commanding presence he exuded. Her cheeks felt hot all of a sudden and she had to pinch herself to bring her back to reality. How could she have a crush on her boss.She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes for a moment, trying to process her first encounter with her boss. “Get it together, Leila,

The alarm woke her up at exactly 6:45, Leila sat down on the bed, she did not realize she would get so used to being at home . Now to go to work had become stressful for her. She heard the distant sound of the Television, her mom had probably slept off while watching it. She had to remind herself that she loved her mom and she was not trying to be wicked but the relationship was better off as distant. Her life here in New York was way complicated than when she was still in Cali and her mom might not really understand the concept of the whole thing. Her head was throbbing, she needed to drink coffee to wake her up. She stood up and went directly to the kitchen, she peeped through the door and her mom was still fast asleep, she smiled. She had forgotten how her mom looked so peaceful when sleeping. Her alarm beeped again and she rushed back into the room. Crap. She did not even know what to wear, she picked out a grey pencil skirt and a white shirt to go with it, with black heels. She
LOVE AND LUST CHAPTER FOURTEEN (PAST)
Leila sucked in a breath. This was the worst scenario ever, her mom meeting Gavin. How did she even want to introduce him to her? As her boss? She did not even know what they were doing, he could not possibly ask her out while he was still engaged to Adele. Her life was a mess at this point. She was thinking about a thousand things in her head, she had to think about a solution and she had to think fast. “Do you mind coming back later?” Leila blurted out. She was panicking as it is. Her mother would not let her hear the end of it if she made the mistake of introducing Gavin to her. Gavin raised his eyebrow, “Do you have a visitor? Or you do not want me in your house anymore?” He asked. “Leily? Have you been ambushed at the door”. Her mother asked again. Leila covered her eyes in embarrassment. Her mom was overly dramatic.Gavin chuckled, “You definitely do have a visitor, who is the person though?”“Well, it is my mom. Long story cut short, Adele gave her to me as a surprise treat”
LOVE AND LUST CHAPTER THIRTEEN (PAST)
Leila was not expecting her mother to show up like this, in her apartment for Christ’s sake. I mean, she came off as a strong willed person but whenever her mother was around, she just felt like a child all over again and it was dragging her down almost every time, that was one of the main reasons why she left Cali in the first place. She loved her mom but it was better as a long distance relationship. “Mom, what are you doing here!?” She repeated. Her mother gasped in shock, “Am I not welcome in my daughter’s home?” It took Leila all she had not to roll her eyes, this was a family conversation and Frank should probably not be here to witness everything. Her family was a complicated but loving one, ever since she lost her dad, it has just been she and her mom. She just sighed and hugged her mom, she mouthed to Frank to leave and muttered an apology. She felt bad for doing this but her mother had ruined the plans. “Leila, See you at work tomorrow?” Frank asked. Leila nodded af
