LOVE AND LUST CHAPTER 24
Leila sighed heavily, she had no idea HR would be involved in this. She licked her lips, the weather was cold and she was not in the mood to start applying lip balm on her lips. She was not sure if Gavin was coming in to work today and honestly, she did not care, all she wanted was to forget him. She was not going to be the reason a family would be scattered, courtesy of Adele and the baby. She cleared her throat as she made her way to the Human Relations Office, immediately she entered, she met serious faces and she knew it was not a good news. “Good morning, I was informed to come and see HR” Leila said smoothly.“Have a seat Miss Baker” A bald headed man replied. She sat down, She was not familiar with his name and she was too tired to start asking so she just keep mute as the man continued what he was saying. “I’ll get straight to it. We’ve received a report concerning a personal relationship between you and Mr. Hasters. Specifically, that the relationship may have become intima
LOVE AND LUST CHAPTER TWENTY THREE (PAST)
Leila burst into laughter. She was not sure she heard her mother right but the words she heard sounded like her mom telling her to move back to Cali. “Mom, I am not a child and you can not meddle in my life” Her mother looked at her with sad eyes, “I gave birth to you and I do have a say in what goes on in your life Leily. You are not happy here and I did not believe it before but your friend, Adele brought me here to confirm it. I think you should move back home” Leila rolled her eyes, her head was throbbing lightly, this was not even the right time for this conversation, she was tired, her day had been a total mixture of sadness and anger and frustration and her mom decided to spring this whole thing on her, she cleared her throat quietly, “I am happy here, my life is here, I work here. I can not just up and leave when things do not go my way and lastly! Adele is not my friend!” Mrs Baker gave her a resigned look before resuming what she was saying, “Well if you decide to not fo
LOVE AND LUST CHAPTER TWENTY TWO (PAST)
Leila was not sure how much time had passed as she sat on the floor. The world was spinning and she was still, she felt like a ghost, like sitting on the sidewalk between sanity and mental disorder. Her life was spiraling downwards and there was nothing she could do about it. The day managed to make her feel optimistic, sad, angry, bitter and heartbroken and the day had still not ended. She could not remember the point Gavin left but it was starting to feel like hours. She remembered shouting at him to leave her alone. Everything else felt like a blur. “Leily?” Her mother called out. Crap! she had forgotten her mother was still in New York, she had to make her leave so she could at least break down in peace. It was not ideal to bottle up everything she was feeling. Maybe she should have taken that job offer from Adele before it got to this, she was pretty sure the offer was no longer on the table considering everything that had happened since then and not to crown it all with Adele’s
LOVE AND LUST CHAPTER TWENTY ONE (PAST)
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
LOVE AND LUST CHAPTER TWENTY (PAST)
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

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
LOVE AND LUST CHAPTER EIGHTEEN (PAST)
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
LOVE AND LUST CHAPTER SEVENTEEN (PAST)
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
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
