David ran down the stairs."See who's here."Rebecca cringed when she saw David.David sighed and removed his hands from his pocket. He was not expecting to see her.Leila knew Rebecca stayed with Collins and also lost her baby. David had told her all about it."I know you've learned your lesson. I hold no grudges against you."Leila meant what she said. Rebecca just had to start doing the right thing from now on.David furrowed his brows at Rebecca. She should thank her stars she did the right thing. If she had not come to apologize, he would have come for her.Ryan gazed at Rebecca. Her eyes were begging Leila and David. Ryan had intentionally let her in.She had to apologize to Leila for everything she did to her. Leila deserved all the apologies.Now that Ryan gazed intently at her, she was not on her knees. How could she be standing and apologizing?Ryan made her knelt. He pressed her down.He then winked at her. That was the right way to apologize."You can leave now. I will for
Leila's heart raced with excitement as she strolled hand-in-hand with David through a romantic park on a cold night.David held her hands and began."You complete me. Your smile awakens me, making me want to burst open...you are my strength and weakness. Without you, my life is meaningless."Tears glistened in Leila's eyes. A warm blush rose to her cheek. She felt a surge of ecstasy washed over her.She loved him so much too. Her eyelids fluttered.She gasped. She wrapped her hands around him and kissed him like it would be her last."I love you so so much."As they walked along a moonlit path, Leila saw a soft glow in the distance. Curiosity lit up her eyes as they reached an open area of the park, revealing a breathtaking sight: a dark sky illuminated with bursts of colorful fireworks dancing in the air which said,'will you marry me?'Leila wasn't sure she had seen it. She wasn't dreaming.She was amazed. Her eyes lit up."Oh my goodness! David, did you see that?"She turned her he
The soft, white sand stretched as far as the eye could see, and the rhythmic sounds of crashing waves provided a soothing backdrop for the joyous occasion.David and Leila would be celebrating their love on a picturesque beach.The beach was beautifully adorned with delicate white and pastel-colored flowers, carefully placed to enhance the natural beauty of the surroundings. A romantic arch, intricately woven with cascading blooms, served as the focal point for the ceremony. Gauzy white curtains billowed gently in the coastal breeze, creating an ethereal atmosphere.Rows of comfortable seating, decorated with flowing ribbons and flower petals, awaited the arrival of their beloved guests.It was a beautiful day for both Leila and David. Leila was adorned in a stunning white gown, gently gliding down the aisle, Scarlet took her arms as they walked side by side.Her eyes were locked on David, the man she cherished and would spend the rest of her life with. It was the best moment, seeing
Nervous tension filled the air as David entered the expansive office. A sudden hush fell over the room, and all attention was drawn to him. His employees exchanged nervous glances and feigned concentration on their work. Nobody wanted to get fired by him. David had once fired an employee who was sipping coffee on duty.Leila who had now settled down with her eyes fixed on the computer before her, shifted her gaze to him. She was naive and unsure of what to do.Her heart suddenly throbbed painfully. She was numb. It's as if her heartache had leeched all energy from her being. She was hurt for no reason and it baffled her a great deal. As she fixed David with a penetrating stare, she was of no doubt he held a notable position. His presence and composure spoke authority loudly. He had two hefty bodyguards behind him. "Meet Leila. Your new Secretary." Adam politely introduced Leila to David who seemed quite uninterested. David turned to face Leila. He stared at her with cold eyes.
Leila was quite unsure what the rule meant.She thought hard about it.Her brain could only process one thing.SexWhat?"Why would I surrender my body to him?"Leila asked Adam fixing him with a penetrating stare. She wanted him to provide a logical answer to her question.How could that be included in a rule? That was absurd.They could have hired a slut instead."That's the rule. I'm not the one who fixes the rules. The CEO fixed it."Leila was stunned.She hissed.'The CEO must be a pompous bastard!'Adam knew that look. It meant she was cursing David.She darted an impatient look at Adam.If sleeping with the CEO, was part of the rule, she would quit."Scrap that rule. He will not sleep with you."He lied."Then why's it the number one rule on the list? How sure are you?"Leila asked staring sharply at him."It's just to keep your mind ready for the job if you're willing to dedicate yourself to the job.""Ladies get swayed by the CEO's good looks. They go crazy for him, and throw
Leila followed the young man. She was restless. Thoughts whirled in her head, questioning if she had done something wrong. Panic thrilled her deepest psyche as she knocked at the office door. "Come in." David said huskily. She quietly opened the door and walked in. She was not always this weak. She was determined she would not allow herself to be afraid of him. If others were scared of him, she'd stand out. The least he could do to her was fire her, and she was prepared for that. But why was her heart pounding hard against her ribs now? Why? She wanted it to seriously stop. She looked down, and couldn't look into his eyes. She had no idea why she felt she'd be trapped in those ocean eyes of his. She was before the almighty CEO who's greatly feared by all. David's eyes traced her body. He crossed his legs as he stared briefly at his expensive wristwatch. The awkward silence was killing Leila. She felt the urge to look up at him but she could not. Was he studying her or
She would not share her man with her or anybody. Leila rolled her eyes. Was she surprised and disappointed she didn't get fired after meeting with the CEO? "Well, It seems I didn't get fired at the end of the day. The shame is on you." Leila was not the type to speak rudely to people but she felt Reg disrespected her. Did she truly want her to be fired? They were all glaring at her like she was just a piece of shit. Reg threw Leila an awful look. She had underestimated Leila. "Did you seduce the CEO?" The CEO was a very handsome man. Even though they all had a huge crush on David, none had the nerve to profess love to him. David had only been her man in her head. Leila's eyes widened. She was losing patience. Seduce him? She tried to calm herself down. "What if I did seduce him? What if we have something going on? Should you not be afraid I will persuade him to just fire you?" Reg was taken aback. Anger flickered in her eyes. She would have called Leila a bitch but she
She could not believe it. How on earth could this happen? Scarlet held her hand as though she was seeing through her pain. "He is the one." Leila's voice trembled. "Who?" "I don't know. Something is wrong with my memory." She racked her brain trying to remember. She felt numb. She's sure the memory of him flickered through her head just now. It was just like she caught a glimpse of it. She was perplexed as she slumped down in bed. She knew something was wrong with her memory of David. It felt like that part of her memory of him vanished. What was that memory? ONE MONTH LATER Leila had gotten used to the incessant glares at the workplace. She was the secretary who had won the CEO's heart. She was envied and disliked by her co-workers. They had witnessed David talking politely to Leila, and it had shocked them a great deal. Leila had duly followed the rules like her life depended on them. Few of his employees had started treating Leila nicely. They believed she was in
