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 puKnock, 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
Lisa looked around the room and noticed Ricardo, who was sleeping peacefully on the couch with his hands intertwined in each other's, and slowly climbed out of bed.She was relieved that he was still sleeping, and she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to study him up close without being challenged by his icy eyes.She thought of Angels that she had read about as a child in some of her children's story books as she studied his face and imagined what it would have been like if his face could have been this angelica forever.Her gaze was drawn to his lips, and she exclaimed as flashes of memories converged."How could I have?" She pondered. "How could I possibly have kissed him? What on earth was I thinking? How am I supposed to look him in the eyes from now on? Oh, Lisa? Lisa? What have you done?"Lisa was able to recall everything that happened the night before. Everything. How she had kissed him and how he had stopped her, and she was more than ash
"Lisa!" From his office, Mr. Harry Byers yelled.Lisa sighed deeply and made her way to his office."Sir?"Mr. Harry Byers raised his head from his computer and locked his gaze on Lisa."How did you know the new CEO?" He inquired."I... I.. I" Lisa stuttered."Did you know he'd be taking over after Mr. Desmond Kincaid?""Not at all, sir."Mr. Byers gave her a serious look and said, "You are not telling everything to me. Did he help you get this job?""No way!" Lisa stated irritably. The last thing she wanted was for people to think she was hired because she knew who Ricardo was, and it was at this point that she began to consider the negative things that people would say about her. She hadn't given it a second thought until now.She had worked hard to get here as a secretary in one of the city's biggest companies, and a night with Ricardo could ruin her image and possibly her career.Mr. Harry Byers scoffed, his eyes piercing hers, and said. "Can
