A Date

Chapter 40

A Date.

Lyla Atelo.

"Mrs. Lyla... Are you okay?" Sara's personality took a three hundred and sixty degree turn as her eyes immediately softened and her hands changed the position in which I was being held. Now it looked as if she was trying to help me up.

Sage stepped into the office like he owned the place with a quiet grace in his strides. I couldn't read his eyes or tell what he was thinking as his eyes fixated on me.

Sara began throwing a fuss as she tried to help me up. "Mrs. Lyla was weak, and I've been trying to get her to go see a nurse but she refused. When she tried standing up, that was when she fell and I tried to hold her up."

Sara began explaining herself, but I could see her lower lips trembling. I could tell that she was as scared as she was enamoured by this man in front of us.

"Right? Mrs. Lyla?" Her eyes came back to me, and I could see the plea and desperation in her voice.

Wasn't she the one who was mouthing that she could destroy me just a few seconds ago? Why was she so scared now?

I gently pushed her off me and took slow steps towards my chair, taking time to straighten my rumpled gown.

"But Mrs. Lyla," Sara came even closer to my seat, trying so hard to be Sage's good grace by pretending to care about me. "You need to see the nurse. The dizzy feeling will only make you clumsy, and you may fall down the stairs if you're not careful."

She gripped the edge of my table as she scooted forwards, shielding my body with hers. I didn't know what she was playing at, but the sinister grin appeared on her face once more.

"What is going on here?" Sage repeated himself from behind, I watched Sara jump in fear.

"I said that..." Sara was saying when Sage cut her off immediately.

"Did I ask you?" He cocked his head to the side, his jaw clenching in anger.

"N...no. no, you didn't." She was stuttering before the tone of her voice reduced until it was almost nonexistent.

"Good. Now get out of here immediately!"

And with that, she was out of the office, shutting the door behind her. Finally, it was just Sage and I that were left in the office.

Michael Atelo.

The first shareholder appeared with a grim expression on his face.

"Michael..." He began. "I know we've been friends for a while now, but this thing that is going on in your company.." he clocked his tongue and took a sip of his wine. "The shareholders can no longer sit quietly about it. Some people have already started dumping their shares."

"How many times do I have to tell you, Damien? The Dominic Ventures are only bluffing. They can't destroy this company. We have—"

"But you signed the contract, didn't you? You sold the company for a meagre sum of money just because of your greed." He paused and regarded me for a while. "I know it hurts to say, but you're my friend and I have to tell you the truth."

"We already have a backup plan if the company falls, Mr. Damien." I heard the click of heels coming towards us, and I couldn't help the happiness that filled my heart when she appeared.

She was the only one who knew how to sort out these kinds of issues for me.

"Miss Kendra..." Damien raised a glass of wine to her approaching figure, and I couldn't help the pride that swelled in my heart when I looked at her.

Her face was flushed with a rosy blush on her cheeks, a testament to our earlier rendezvous in my office. Seeing her here again made me tingle down there. She was efficient in every task given to her, and even more efficient when she is obediently under me, taking my dick in her slick folds.

Damien's gaze roamed her body for a long time before he drew his eyes from her to look at me.

"You've been saying that for a long time now. When will I have the pleasure of knowing what this back up plan is?" He took another sip of his wine.

Kendra smiled tersely. "Allow us to worry about that, and just trust us, Damien." Her voice was warm and carried a tone of assurance.

It wasn't long before Damien stopped questioning us again, and he left later on. Finally, it was just Kendra and I in the room.

"We need the money. And fast." She told me without a hint of smile on her face.

I pushed myself from the pillar I was leaning on, and snaked my arms around her waist, pulling her closer into me.

"What do you suggest I do? Lyla doesn't trust me..." I leaned into her luscious breasts and took a deep breath, licking the surface of the gorgeous things in front of me.

I felt the way she shivered and continued to suck on the skin even harder.

"Let's..." Her voice was a breathy moan. "Can we... Can you... Maybe... Plan a date with her. Or a short... Ugh.. Vacay... Ugh... Vacation." She was moaning in between words because I didn't stop licking and sucking.

I lifted my head from her beautiful breasts and flashed her a big smile. "I will do just that, mi amor."

I leaned in and gave her a deep kiss.

"Now, get back to work. And try as much as possible to make up with her while I will be trying to keep her from talking to you. That way, if any of us are able to get through with her, we will be able to convince her to give me all the money."

Kendra regarded me for a second. "Just make sure to put more effort in the date that you've planned out. You need to make it as believable as possible."
