The next morning, Emma woke up and went to tell her children good morning, but the nanny came almost immediately to take care of them. Emma was a bit relieved to have help, but she would still be excited to take care of her children by herself. After giving them loads of kisses, she returned to her room and got ready for work. She went to the dining room and breakfast had been prepared by Roland. They greeted each other and settled down to eat. “Emma” Roland charmingly called her name. “How about dinner tonight?” She raised her gaze and nodded. “The kids would surely love dinner here, except you're taking us out?” Roland was a bit disappointed by her lack of understanding. It took him a lot of courage to ask her. He was still afraid of getting rejected. “No, that's not what I meant. I want us to go out together, without the kids.” Roland clarified, avoiding eye contact with her. Emma gazed at him and chuckled. “Why are you being so shy about it? It would be nice to have dinn
“Wow, I thought he was your husband. I'm sorry for making such an assumption.” Liam apologized, but actually, he had no regret talking to her about it. If he hadn't spoken to her, he would have assumed that she was married and kept away from her, losing his chance to be with such a beautiful woman. She looked and spoke professionally, but they could go beyond professionalism. He had his charm and he would make it work with her. “It's okay, you didn't say anything wrong. Roland and I are quite close, but we're just friends.” Emma said she didn't understand why she still had to explain herself to him. She just felt like there was a need to clarify such a misunderstanding. Liam wanted to ask about the children, but he assumed again that the children belonged to Roland. He thought of him as a single father, and it wouldn't be nice of him to ask her those questions. It might seem like he's prying into her life, and that could push her away from him. “Anyways, it's still not easy to
Emma went to her office and started working on building a new software. She had worked on a project which she was assigned to, but she was trying to do something else. It might be a surprise to them, but she hoped that they would like it. She was also planning on making an app for the company. Though it already had an app of its own, she wanted to make something more creative. She would show all the ideas to Liam, once she was finished with everything. Liam was a nice person, that was what she discovered while talking to him. He owned such a huge company, and she thought that he would be arrogant, though she knew how to handle arrogant people. It was nice to have someone as attentive and polite as him.The thought of him made Emma suddenly recall Elizabeth's reaction to seeing her with Liam. “Did she have to hug him like that?” Emma asked, and a laugh escaped her lips. The funniest part was the expression on Liam's face, like he needed help; he also refused to hug her back, whic
Emma's eyes widened in shock as he kissed her lips. She tried pushing him away, but he was stronger than she, and her arms had been pinned to the car by him. Alex pressed his lips harder on hers, he opened his mouth slightly and sucked her lips. It had been four years apart, but her lips were soft as before. They still tasted the same. Disgust was an understatement of what Emma was feeling. It felt like a million ants were crawling on her skin. The feeling made her skin fill with goosebumps and her stomach churn.It felt like the whole system was disorganized, her stomach kept churning because of the nervousness that wrecked her. She tried moving her legs to hit him in the groin, but like the expert that he was, he pinned her legs with his knees, making it impossible for her to move them. Emma remained helpless, he was stronger than her and more shrewd. She couldn't escape from him. He tried forcing his tongue into her mouth, but she refused to open up. She still remembered all h
“An employee??” Elizabeth's eyes widened before she burst into laughter. “What will you do there? You might have a certificate with a 'pass' as a result, but that's not good enough for Brooke's Tech.” “You said that you wanted an idea, and I've brought one, why are you in opposition to it?” Alex asked and stared down at her cleavages that popped out of her dress. He grasped her waist with one hand and pulled her close to himself.“Let go of me. I'm sure this is exactly how you acted towards her, and you expect her to pay attention to you or treat you like a sane person. You're just good at ruining things.” Elizabeth glared at him and tried removing his hand from her waist.“You don't want me in the company because you find me irresistible, right?” Alex smirked, confidently. Elizabeth stared at him in disbelief. They haven't had anything going for years, she simply contacted him again because of Emma. “You're being delusional. We might have had something going on in the past, but t
“You can lick my pussy all you want, but you're not getting a job at that company,” Elizabeth responded and closed her legs. She rolled her eyes and sat up. Alex stared at her angrily. “So, how do you expect me to be close to her? That's the only way I can think of. She doesn't want anything to do with me.” Elizabeth glared at him and stood to her feet, she went to take her panties that lay on the floor. “It's not my fault that you didn't know how to be charming to her. You could have gotten her some flowers or something romantic that could make her realize how sorry you are. I'm tired of telling you what to do. I thought you were wiser.” She said and hissed at the end of her statement. Alex sighed and folded his arms on his chest. He was upset by everything, especially Elizabeth's unwillingness to help him. “Fuck.”He sighed again and took his hands to his hair. He ruffled it and frowned deeply. “You always talk with that stupid Liam, can't you help me get the job? You can sa
Liam felt heartbroken and dejected. He didn't expect her to reject him so soon and directly, she looked so emotionless about it. Liam wondered what he had done to make her react that way. He thought that everything was going well between them, but now, every nice thought he had has crumbled before his face. Last night, he researched the best restaurant where he could take her to. He had been thinking of how to approach her, acting in the bathroom like a teenager in love. All his efforts and nervousness were for nothing. She still walked away and unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't force her to like him, it was his fault for falling in love at first sight. She had no blame for his disappointment. Taking a deep breath, he loosened his tie like it was suffocating him. He walked away from that spot and went to his office. He stayed in his office and tried distracting himself with work, but her cold words kept echoing in his mind. They felt like a knife
Elizabeth's smile broadened as he gave her a positive response. It had been such a long time since he ever told her yes or decided to spend time with her. It was shocking yet pleasing and exciting. She wished that she had tried the emotional blackmail before, she would have had him wrapped around her fingers before the arrival of Emma. 'That bitch is trying to not steal what's mine but look now, he wants to have dinner with me. I'm so happy. We could get drunk later, and it might even lead to sex. I won't use any birth control and soon, a pregnancy would set in.' Elizabeth devised her plans inwardly. She was so thrilled about everything. “Thank you for accepting. This means a lot to me. It's been years since we ever talked this long or ate together. I'm surprised and delighted.” She said while playing with her fingers, trying to act cute and shy. Liam sighed, he hoped that she wasn't having any affectionate thoughts about him because he had no intention of fulfilling whatever fan
