"Who was that guy?" Summer asked the second Lisa was inside their joint sitting room.
"Who?" Lisa inquired, as if she had no idea what Summer was on about.Summer raised her eyelids and gave Lisa a questioning look before replying. "Who was the guy who just gave you a ride?" Lisa shrugged one shoulder and replied. "Just a guy you don't have to worry about."After replying, Lisa moved her feet and started heading to her room before Summer's words stopped her. Summer scoffed, adjusted her sitting position on their worn out couch, and said. "Did you spend the night with him?""No," Lisa replied, without turning around. She knew where this conversation was heading, and she didn't like it one bit. She hated it when Summer played detective on her.Summer rose up and began to move towards her with a thick folded paper in her hand. She raised the paper and said, "Then, explain to me how this was still between the doors when I came back.""What are you doing here?" a familiar voice said coldly behind Lisa.Lisa shivered as she turned around and looked at Ricardo, who was walking up to her.She had been standing in front of his room for the past forty-five minutes, shouting and knocking on his door with the thought that Ricardo was inside the room but didn't just want to answer her."I'm..." She trailed off as her eyes made contact with his blazing blue eyes and she took her eyes off him as fast as possible in order to avoid being burned."Waiting for you," she said while looking down.Ricardo halted in front of her, used his right hand to slowly raise her head.An undeniable electricity shot through Lisa as his hand made contact with her skin and her legs wobbled."Waiting for me?" Ricardo chuckled as he made her look into his eyes. "You're are very funny kid"Lisa's eyebrows knitted together, and she said. "I'm not a kid."Ricardo acted surprised and gave her a ridi
Ricardo sat at the head of the table in his apartment inside his father's house, listening to what Ellen was saying from the kitchen."What do you think about us going to Australia this summer?" She said.That voice was everything to Ricardo. It was the most beautiful voice he had ever heard, and it belonged to the most beautiful woman, who turned out to be his fiancee."Yesterday, you were talking about China," Ricardo said."True, I don't know which one we should go to, "Ricardo smiled. "Tell me once you've come to a decision."The next second, Ricardo heard a baby's cries. He looked down at his hands and smiled at his mini, who was in need of his mother's attention."Babe" Ricardo called."Give me two minutes," Ellen replied.In order to calm the baby down, Ricardo rose to his feet and started walking around the room with the baby on his chest.The baby cried out louder, and Ellen ran into the room with a tray in her hand. She pu
Knock, knock.Ricardo rose to his feet and walked to the door, and with the thought that the person knocking on the door was Lisa, he ignored the peephole.Those hours he had spent with Lisa were the best hours he had had in ten years, even though he wasn't going to accept it and he had been longing for her presence ever since the second he came back into his empty hotel room.He heaved a sigh, relaxed himself, and opened the door, but when a pair of familiar blue eyes met his, his eyes turned glassy, his jaw tightened, and he clenched his fists in case he needed to defend himself, but when he looked around and realized that none of the man's bodyguards was with him, he unclenched his fists."What are you doing here?" He asked in a quiet but cold voice."Ric," Mr. Desmond Kincaid called."I don't ever want to see you here again," Ricardo said, and was about to close the door when his father's voice stopped him."I'm sorry," Mr. Desmond Kincaid said
Mr. Harry Byers turned out to be the douchebag that Lisa had thought he was, and he used every single chance he had to tease and taunt her.Today was Lisa's third day at Megabiz Inc.and she was already thinking of quitting."Lisa!" Mr. Harry Byers shouted from the next office.Lisa heaved a deep sigh and rolled her eyes annoyingly before rising to her feet. She walked to his office and said,as professional as you can be. "Here I am, sir.""I need another coffee," Mr. Harry said, with his eyes on the file in front of him.Lisa's lips partly opened and she tried to control her anger.Mr. Harry Byers's favorite coffee shop was fifteen minutes away by car from Megabiz Inc, and Mr. Byers sent her there at least three times a day.Mr. Harry Byers raised his head and looked at Lisa, who was still standing in front of him, and said, "And what are you still waiting for?""Nothing, sir. I will be on my way now, " she replied, turning a
Thankfully, Lisa was allowed to leave the office at 5:00 pm, prompt by her boss, who had been overworking her since her first day on the job, because of the handing over ceremony that would take place inside the Megabiz Inc. hall at 7:00 pm that evening.She enthusiastically packed her stuff and left the office, hailing a taxi, pulling her phone from her bag, and dialing Summer's number for confirmation.She said, "Hey."Summer replied, "Hey babe.""Are you going to be home this evening?""Yeah. I'm on my way back home."Lisa let out a long sigh." I have something to tell you, and I also need your help with something""Does that have anything to do with your boss?" Summer inquired, concerned.As the picture of Mr. Byers appeared in Lisa's vision, she rolled her eyes irritably and replied. "No. It's not about him. It's about someone else.""Okay, so male or female? Summer teased."At home, bye," Lisa said, cutting Summer off and hangi
Mr. Byers unwittingly dropped his wineglass and Lisa's hand, his eyes widening in terror, and he nearly peed his trousers.Lisa smiled at Ricardo despite the fact that she knew he wouldn't return her smile.Ricardo's blue eyes were as cold as usual, and his posture spoke volumes about his strength.Ricardo, unlike everyone else, was dressed in a crazy Jean trouser and a black top.Lisa's grin deepened as she gazed at the man-god who approached her, grabbed her hand, and began guiding her to one of the front tables.Mr. Byers was back to himself after a few seconds and stared curiously at the back view of the unusual man who had invited Lisa to such a huge occasion."Brother!" An extremely beautiful woman cried as she ran up to Ricardo and Lisa, and despite Ricardo's coldness, she hugged him tightly. "You came. I thought you wouldn't""Susan, how are you?" Ricardo said as he pulled himself out of her embrace.Susan looked at him and smile
Lisa motioned to the nearby waiter. The waiter dashed over to her table and poured her a another glass of wine.Lisa thanked the waiter, "Thank you."The waiter locked his gaze on Lisa before responding with his shit-eating grin. "Anytime."Ricardo coughed loudly to draw the waiter's attention. And when his eyes met Ricardo's icy blue eyes, the waiter's smile faded and he nearly dropped the tray in his hands. But, fortunately for him, he was able to control himsy and quickly scrambled away.Lisa took a sip of her drink and turned to face Ricardo, who was oblivious to her presence. She swallowed her saliva as she studied his sharp jaw-line, very pointed nose, and lip as pink as a garden rose, because the man was nothing short of a man-god who didn't even realize how perfect he was."Now, let's welcome..." the man on the podium said, "MR. Desmond Kincaid!"As Mr. Desmond Kincaid walked to the podium, waving his hand, everyone rose to their feet, including
Lisa slowly opened her eyes after feeling soft taps on her shoulder. She looked out the car window before turning her head to face Ricardo, who was staring at her."Where are we?" She asked tipsily."At your apartment." Ricardo replied."Really?" She asked, then looked out the window to confirm."Oh, that's true." She said. "Thank you for inviting me."She slowly opened the car door and exited the vehicle. "Bye."She walked to their door and started knocking on the door since she had forgotten to take her key with her.But when there was no response, she yelled, "Summer, open the damn door!" and continued to bang on the door. "Summer!"Oh my God, this can't be happening."she muttered under her breath when a thought came into her mind and she threw back her head in annoyance."Summer!" She yelled angrily and knocked again.She cursed under her breath as she looked at Ricardo's car, which was still parked on the side of the road, befor
