The banquet ended at eleven and Nicole stayed until the last guest left.

She said goodnight to the venue staff by name, the waiters, the woman at the coat check, the man who had been managing the lights all evening.

Each of them, by name and William watched her do it from across the emptying room and thought, she has no idea how rare that is.

She found him near the exit just as he was shrugging his jacket back on.

"William," she said.

He turned. She looked

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    A little trip down the memory lane

    When he got into his car, he checked the address that was sent to him by his PA and began his journey. He had driven for approximately forty minutes before arriving at the address that was sent to him.He checked and confirmed the house number again before stepping out of his car to meet the woman.He got to the house number and rang the bell but no one answered. He rang the bell again and still got no response. He stepped back a bit and looked at the windows. The curtains were drawn and there did not seem to be a sign of life within the house. He checked his phone again to make sure that he was at the right address and even after confirming it, he seemed pretty confused. His PA would have let him know if no one was home.Looking around he saw someone pass and decided to call out to the person to make inquiries. “Uh… if you may spare me a minute of your time, I wanted to ask about the lady who lives here,” he said and pointed to the house behind him. “Who are you?” the man as

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    The Drove to Welling

    Asher remained in his office a little after seven, pondering over how he would go meet this woman and how to actually get the woman to do what he wants. He did not know what he wanted to do yet, but he knew that having this woman on his side would be a great advantage. He just needed to get to her first since she was familiar with his enemy. The relationship with them was not explicitly defined by his PA but he knew that something was up somewhere.While he thought about this, his mind went back to what Luke had shown him the other day. Something was going wrong with his company and he needed to find out as soon as possible. A part of him wanted to believe what Luke had implied but he could not. Yes, Nicole was good at her job but that meant nothing. He had Zara by his side, a fully educated doctor and she was sure to do exceptionally better than Nicole. She was the perfect definition of beauty and brains. Apart from this, one thing that could not stop bothering him was the fact that

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    Zara's Jealousy

    The luncheon was in Mayfair, held in a private room at one of those hotels that has been there so long it feels like part of the city's bones. It was a charity event for a women's fashion initiative and the room was full of exactly the kind of women that Zara respected. It was filled with accomplished and well-dressed women, just what she had been looking forward to. She entered the room with the aim of winning hearts and getting what she wanted. She stopped looking forward to it approximately fifteen minutes after she arrived.The first mention of Nicole's name came from a woman named Helene, who ran a buying office and who was describing the Paris partnership, which had gone viral, to the woman beside her with the enthusiasm of someone reporting genuinely exciting news. Zara heard the name and kept her expression pleasant and moved on when she couldn't bear to hear the other woman's praises. The second mention came at her own table, from a wo

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    Growing Pains

    The email from Graham was unexpected and uncalled for.Nicole read it when she resumed at the office, surprised by its content. She thought about it for a while. No doubt that it was professional in its language and polite in its tone. But underneath both of those things, it was a direct challenge.It had been brewing for a long time now and she chose not to take note of it. Right now, Graham had tossed in the towel. He had gone to two members of the board with concerns about her restructuring strategy and the board members had responded by requesting a formal review.She called Priya in as she needed to get it over with. "Get me a meeting with the full board," she said. "This week if possible." Priya looked at her. "All five of them?" "All five,” she responded. She wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible. When things like this lingered for long, the outcome was not so favourable.Priya nodded and left her office.

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    Williams's Rules

    William told her about the call the next morning.He came to her office just after nine, which was his usual time. He closed the door behind him and just stood at the entrance, which was not usual. She looked up from her desk, immediately noting that something was not right. "Asher had called me yesterday evening," he said. "I did not answer."Her body went rigid and she swallowed. “Please sit down, Mr. Grant,” she said, using the few seconds she had to brace herself.He sat across from her and Nicole looked at him. "What did he want?" "I do not know. He did not leave a message," he said as he held her gaze. "I wanted you to know before I decided anything. I have a hunch that he is calling about you. How do you want me to handle it?" "Don't return it," she said without hesitation. She had a feeling on why he was calling William but something in her bones made her feel that something was definitely not right, regardless. Still, she was going to s

  • Mr Strong, I Refuse To Be Your Duty    Tremors

    Wilson called really early in the morning and William was still in bed when the phone rang, which was quite unusual. He was normally up before six but the banquet had run later than he expected and the conversation in the car afterwards had kept his mind busy well past midnight, and when sleep finally came, it came hard and knocked him out.His phone rang again and he turned to find it. On seeing the caller ID, he wondered why his brother was calling him so early and answered. "It was not a leak," Wilson said, without greeting. "Asher did not get her address from anyone on the inside."William immediately sat up. "What do you mean?" "He figured it out himself. He has been digging into you for a few days now, your schedule, your staff, your usual movements and I do not know why. My guess is that he pieced it together from that." Wilson said.William was quiet for a moment. "Why is he digging into me?" "That I do not know yet. It could be Nicole or it could be her." Wilson's v

    “What was that for? What you saw was nothing. Zara needed my help and I offered to drive her to the company…” he blurted, his cold gaze on her as if she's committed an offence. “I don't know what you're talking about and I didn't see anything either” Nicole snapped back at him. She tried to

    Nicole smirked when she read Asher's text."Sorry I couldn't make it to the bridal shop. I've been busy with meetings. Take two weeks off work, look after your mom, and make the wedding plans."If she hadn't left the company when she did, she might still have been waiting for him for hours while he

    He isn't going to waste his time going through it. She can't do without him and earlier than he expected, she sent a letter to apologise to him. She has nowhere else to go. He held her lifeline and her mother's hospital bills were going to be handled by him. She dares to frown at his decision
