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, beforLisa 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
All employees were summoned to the main hall thirty minutes after his arrival for formal introductions.With the hall as silent as a graveyard, Ricardo began walking to the podium, his shoes echoing around the hall and every step he took feeling like a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment.All of the employees were tense, with some holding their breath.Ricardo finally came to a halt in the middle of the podium. He looked around the hall with his glassy blue eyes full of daggers, making people shiver in their seats, until his gaze fell on Lisa.Lisa shivered as his cold eyes fell on her, but her stubborn side quickly took over, blocking out the coldness in his eyes.Lisa returned his gaze, maintaining eye contact until he averted his gaze and began speaking."Good day, everyone.""Good morning, sir," the employees all said together."My name is Ricardo Kincaid, and I am the new CEO of Megabiz. I'm not an expert in many areas of th
"I've seen the girl, and she's a scumbag." A lady voice said outside the restroom door that Lisa was the following day."That's exactly what I thought when I saw her. How could a CEO be interested in a woman as unattractive as she is?" Another lady stated.Lisa, who had finished urinating, struggled to get to her feet and walked out of the room. She was embarrassed that people thought she got the job because of her p***y rather than her brain."I even heard she was standing by his side as he read his taking over speech," said the first woman."Really?" The second lady questioned."Yeah. And she isn't even ashamed of herself."Lisa stomped to her feet, drew her skirt down, and flung open the door, enraged. Her stubborn side had had enough of this nonsense and would no longer take crap from anyone.When she opened the door, the two women who had no idea someone was inside the room immediately became quiet.When they saw the woman who had just st
On Friday afternoon, Ricardo frustratedly dropped the pen in his hand, sat back in his seat, and threw back his head.He sighed deeply and shut his eyes. Lisa's face appeared out of nowhere in the darkness, and Ricardo angrily opened his eyes."Fuck," he yelled.Ricardo hadn't been able to think clearly since the night Lisa kissed him, which annoyed him.He intentionally distanced himself from her in order to stop his strange feelings for her, but it didn't help his situation. In fact, it aggravated his situation and made him crave her even more.And on Wednesday, when he stood up for her in front of her coworkers, he wanted to do more than just hold her hand; he wanted to kiss her but he stopped himself.First, because Lisa might not want it, and second, because he knew it wouldn't help the situation she was in at the time.Ricardo sighed heavily as he imagined what Lisa's thin, pink lips would feel like on his.He discarded the thought, pick
Lisa walked out of the company like she'd just won the lottery. Her face was flushed red, and she couldn't believe Ricardo had walked all the way down from his floor to hers just to kiss her.She smiled as she remembered him telling her to look at him as she waved down a taxi and bit her bottom lip."I suppose everything went well today." Summer teased as she noticed an obviously overjoyed Lisa who had just entered the house."Yeah." Lisa replied and smiled at her."Does it have anything to do with your Mr. Ceo?" Summer asked, suspiciously."Yeah," Lisa replied, slumping down on the couch. "Yes, it does.""What happened?" Summer asked, expressing her enthusiasm."Ahhhh." Lisa sighed and smiled at her friend, "You can't understand.""Then make me.""He came to my office and..." Lisa trailed off as the memory of that moment replayed in her mind."And?" Summer asked. "He kissed me." Lisa gushed."Did he?" Summer exclaimed unb
Lisa hardly slept throughout the night because she was busy thinking about how Ricardo had kissed her inside her office but she later fell around past five in the morning and woke up at quarter part ten.The first name that came into her mind the second she woke up was Ricardo and she hurriedly sat up on her bed, looking around her room as if she was expecting Ricardo to come out of a corner.She took a soft breath and told herself to calm down."Stop stressing yourself, you can just visit him in his hotel room." Her stubborn side said."That isn't going to happen." Lisa replied and annoyingly got out of her bed. "What if he turns me away?""I don't think he will. That kiss was superb." Her stubborn side said."For once, I'm supporting you." Her subconscious said to her stubborn side."Okay, fine" Lisa said in surrender and headed to their bathroom.She intentionally put on a skimpy blue skirt on a black crop-top, picked up her purse and heade
"Hello, Lisa, are you there?" Her mother's worried voice could be heard on the other end of the phone. "Lisa?"Lisa slowly picked up the phone, attempting to slow her racing heartbeat."Yes, mom. I'm here.""What are we going to do now?" Her mother questioned."I don't know." Lisa replied sorrowfully. "That's a lot of money. What are we going to do now?"Her mother wept. "Okay, baby, I'll get back to you later. Bye.""Mom, I'm sorry.""It's okay.""I will try and come tomorrow or next tomorrow." Lisa said."You don't have to. Your dad wants you to focus on your job. Bye baby.""Bye, mom." She replied and hung up the phone.She sighed heavily as she put the phone down and had no idea that she was crying until a drop of tears dropped on to her hand.She wiped her tears away, sat up on the bed and started thinking of what to do."Hey Lisa." Summer called, knocking on her door.Lisa raised her head an
