Thank you for reading.❤️
SCARLETT “How’s your mother gum gum? She hasn’t come to see me in a while,” Dad says in a sad tone. I know how much he loves her and how unfair her treatment of him is but even if you state the obvious, he would still rationalise and come up with an excuse for her. That’s how much he loves her. “Mom’s fine, she’s just been very busy lately. I’m sure she’ll come as soon as her schedule frees up,” My heart clenches as I lie to him. I still asked her to join me before I left the house. Her response was: “It’s not me your father needs, it’s his freedom. When he gets out, I’ll still be here…hopefully.” Dad smiles wryly at me. “And Lexi, we only talk when I call the house, it would actually be nice if the three of you can come together someday. It gets lonely without my family sometimes.” My heart breaks at the pain in his voice. Ever since mom and Lexi had that fight about him, Lexi stopped visiting too. I take a minute to look at my father and I blink back the tears that pool in my
SCARLETT “Good afternoon Sir,” the receptionist greets him, bowing slightly. Trevor gives her a curt nod, his eyes over me. He's wearing a sharp blue three piece suit which is really rare for him. Perhaps he has some business at the company today. “Is there a problem?” Trevor asks the receptionist. “Not at all sir, it’s just that the CEO’s mistress wants to see him urgently and I’m trying to explain how things work to her,” the receptionist replies and I glare at her. Did she have to say that? Trevor’s eyes immediately grow a shade darker. He grabs my arm and pulls me to face him, looking me squarely in the eyes. “You’re his mistress?” His voice is cold, yet full of pain. The thought of amplifying that pain by agreeing comes to mind but that is not why I am here. “No,” I reply, yanking my hand from his grip. “Your uncle’s about to make a big mistake that may cost your company, that’s why I’m here.” “So why did she call you his mistress?” Trevor replies coldly, raising his voi
SCARLETT Damian’s Kitten, he knows Damian calls me kitten? “You know Damian?” “What if I do?” He says, looking at me calculatingly as he blocks my path. Both his exposed arms from the T-shirt he's wearing are covered with sleeve tattoos that disappear up his biceps. He’s not as muscular as Damian but he’s definitely fit, having more of an athletic build. He has dark sunglasses over his eyes and tiny short dreads on his head, wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. “If you know Damian, you must take me to him,” I reply, dusting myself and smoothing out my skirt. He gives me a weird look. “I must take you to him? Sounds pretty urgent. Tell me,” he walks closer to me, closing the gap between us. “What is so important that it can’t wait.” “It’s personal,” I reply, taking two steps back. For all I know Trevor probably sent him to keep an eye on me but if that was the case, would he let me out? But still I don’t trust him and I can’t tell him why I’m really here. “Then you’ll have t
DAMIAN “Lay a finger on her and lose your job.” If this stupid nephew of mine thinks he still gets to treat her as he pleases, let me educate him. “What is this Ethan?” I ask, locking eyes with the little kitten. Her gorgeous blue eyes look deep into my black ones before her gaze dips to my lips and I resist the urge to smirk at her. Her black leather skirt grips her lower body, showing off her seductive curves, her white crop top bulging at the chest from her soft mounds covered by a white blazer. “You have to hear this,” Ethan says, pulling back a seat for Scarlett who sits gracefully. I normally would let my team handle pitches that were not from major brands or big companies but since it involves my brother, I decided to hear the pitch myself. I know how hard he’s trying to get some momentum on his side, all of his secret meetings with the board members to oust me the first chance they get but I’ll always be one step ahead of him. It doesn’t mean I’ll sabotage this opport
DAMIAN“Of course not. I hired the best chemists and dermatologists to put this product together, it’s the best of the best, don’t listen to her,” he replies quite confidently before he shifts his attention to Scarlett.“I don’t know why you would come up with such lies and go to such lengths to discredit my work but be rest assured, you just put your degree in jeopardy and you can forget about getting any internship.”His tone is serious and finite and I shift my gaze to Scarlett who’s about to reply before the other lady cuts her off.
DAMIAN“So you won’t mind if I hire my own team to look into this stuff?” I say calmly, squinting my eyes at him. “And you should know, if it turns out she’s telling the truth, you’ll pay dearly for trying to rip us off cuz I’ll sue the hell out of your ass.”He gulps slowly, fear and worry coating his formerly cold eyes. “I’ll take my product somewhere else. I can see you’ve already made up your mind and you,” he points at Scarlett as he stands up. “You’ll pay for this, the internship isn’t the only thing you’ll lose, I promise you that. Let’s go Chloe.”
SCARLETTI wanted to say no to working for him. I barely even see him and he somehow clouds my thoughts. How would it be if I had to spend almost everyday in his presence? Not just as any random staff in his company but as his personal assistant, which means I get to do everything and go almost everywhere with him.I didn’t know if I would be able to control myself and not give into my intrusive thoughts of making out with him but when he mentioned Professor August’s threat, I knew I had no choice.It’s been three weeks of working with him and I haven’t given into it yet so I think I can handle it, no matter how hard
SCARLETTThe office suddenly feels too small and I want to run out and find the nearest convenient place to cry out the pain from my broken heart.Why would Damian do this to me? Why would he have sex with me when he knows he is married. Why did he flirt back and want to kiss me just now? Why has he always been there for me?I broke up with Trevor for cheating on me with Ashley and convinced myself that I hated Ashley for sleeping with my man but how am I any different now?Trevor was my boyfriend. Damian is married, legally bound to someone in the eyes
