It had taken everything and a little more for Serena to appear calm and in control of her emotions, she really wasn’t and she had a whole breakdown to prove it when she had locked herself in the bathroom.

“Miss Stone, your father wants to see you,” a nice and pretty lady said, Serena suspected she was her father’s secretary or assistant.

She smiled softly at her, hoping her face wasn’t as pale as her heart and stomach was, she closed the toilet door behind her and wiped her still damp hands on her skirt.

“Thank you… what is your name? You look familiar, but it's hard to really place the face,” she continued, she genuinely looked familiar and she was also trying at being friendly.

There was someone she could say she looked like but maybe being in this environment and in her old world was making her hallucinate.

She doubt she would even knew how she looked liked

“I am Lexi, I am everybody’s assistant. Let’s just say I am the errand girl, my sister asked Mr Stone to find a post for

  • MR. BILLIONAIRE, YOU’RE NOTHING WITHOUT ME.   Chapter 19

    It was a meeting. Adrian Hales sat at the CEO’s seat, the very head of the table. One could see the beautiful view of the city through the glasses in the conference room. He felt tension to some extent, the conference had been called for a reason, a reason not quite positive. What he seemed to have in control and under his fingertips doesn’t seem to be like that anymore.The man sitting by his right-hand side raised his voice, sounding extremely defensive in his claim. “Whatever Mr. Adrian had in mind to have pulled a merger without the board’s approval is honestly so so, uncalled for, this company isn’t his personal empire,” he paused, turning to Adrian. “This is not your personal empire, each and every one of us has a say here.” Sounding quite unprofessional.Adrian felt as though he was facing a trial in court, as the man dropped his statement, another followed, another followed the ‘another’ that followed, none was however in his favor. He felt his heart beat faster, he however re

    She had been up since dawn, her mind remained restless. All night, Serena deeply wondered what Damien had in mind to show at his office. She tried to put her mind away from it, but the more she tried, the more her brain played obsession. She felt excited, but she couldn’t say precisely as there’s also a bit of unease in her, maybe excitement, maybe unease.She stood up to carry out her morning routines; shower, taking care of her hair, dressing up, then coffee. She looked in the mirror, she felt brighter, looked brighter. She was full of self-admiration, her face radiating, her chin looking sharp. She placed her hand below her chin, blowing her reflection a kiss.She looked outside, the day looked cool, the sun still coming up. Serena always loved watching the sun come up when she lived with her parents earlier, before she moved out with Adrian. She felt found, like a kid that strayed and came back, she almost started feeling regrets, but she convinced herself it’s not needed. She smi

    The car came to a stop in front of Serena’s house, the night was setting over the quiet street. The lights from the street lamp glowed in the darkness and Damien parked right below the glowing light, and the sound of the engine faded as Damien shifted the car into park.For the very first few minutes after Damien had packed, none of them moved. They both remained silent as they stared into the distant darkness. What had happened earlier is a part of them they both didn’t know exist. Serena turned, shifting her gaze to him, catching the faint view of Damien’s face in the low light, the one from the car TV. His hand, calmly resting on the car’s steering.“Thanks for giving me a ride,” she said, breaking the silence.“You deserve more; I am more than impressed with the way you handled things this night.” He took his hands off the steering, shifted his gaze towards Serena, making their eyes meet. She felt waves of emotions brushing through her body, butterflies in her stomach, all

    It didn’t sit well with Cassie, it’s as odd that Adrian wants to attend the Get-together. She knew a lot had to be carried out, she honestly was aware of that. But she felt that Adrian is going a bit far, farther than she went herself. Adrian’s voice snapped her out of the universe she was; The Thought Universe.“It’s tonight, get dressed. We are leaving in thirty minutes.” He snapped.“You really want me, to….all of a sudden,” She stammered, short of words, she decided not to continue whatever she had wanted to say. She dressed in silence afterwards, in her room. She stood before the mirror, a feeling of unfulfillment hooved all over her. She brushed her hair slowly as she stared deep into the mirror, watching her reflection. Behind the make-up, was a shadow of exhaustion.Cassandra had grown up in chaos; an irresponsible father, though rich, he seemed to only lavish his money on women and the most unnecessary thing. She watched her parents fight every day, one day, over cheating,

    Adrian stepped into the apartment, closing the door behind him. He drops his briefcase; it was as though he had just dropped a very significant burden. Right there, he removed his suit, carefully laying it on the couch next to the one he was seated. He proceeds to loosen the buttons of his shirts, loosened the button of his trousers and then leaned on the couch, this, accompanied by a sigh of relief. He was still wondering where Cassandra was when he heard footsteps approaching. He was not as bothered about who it might have been, no one has access to his abode as much. Not even Serena, he did not waste time concerning changing the lock, right after he had jilted her. The approaching footsteps became louder, “You are early, whatever might ha…” Cassie commented, taking a seat, right beside Adrian.“Did you do it?” He interrupted her, cutting her short. His tone was firm, it was more like an interrogation. “Did I do what? I owe you no pleasantries at all?”“Did I sound like I’m in th

    For a moment, silence hung in the air, stretched, almost tangible, as Damien’s eyes met Serens’s. The amazement he claimed was brief, replaced almost immediately by that quiet composure he wore like an armor.“Serena” he said again, this time with a slow smirk tugging at his lips. “You look…..troubled.” She arched a brow, matching his tone effortlessly, or maybe worse. “And you look exactly like someone who hasn’t slept properly in three days.”He gave a low chuckle, rounding his desk. “You didn’t come all the way here to insult my sleep schedule, did you?”“Of course not,” she replied, in a smooth but clipped voice. “I came bearing gifts.”“That sounds dangerous,”“It usually is”They stared for a moment for long, that odd tension thick enough to make the air heavy. She finally broke it by reaching into her handbag and drawing out two envelopes.“These are for you.” She handed it over, with entirely no emotions on her face. Damien took them, his expression unreadable. The soft shuf
