Chapter 13
"Wow. This place is amazing," one of my colleagues, Simon, said as he gulped the beer. "Who knew we would be spending our Friday night in one of the most exclusive clubs in the city?"
"It's not a big deal. My cousin is friends with the owner so he helped me get the membership card," I said and tipped the waitress.
When Alice gave me the evening off, I told everyone that I'd be joining them to their night out and it was my treat. Now, all eight of us were sitting in a corner booth, drinking beers, eating cheeseburgers and gossiping about work.
"How come you can afford a membership on an assistant's salary? Your parents must be loaded," he asked with curiosity, and I just shrugged sheepishly.
"Don't tell me you guys don't know?" Sunshine interfered. "Our friend Stav here is Christopher Trajano's son."
"Wait. The Christopher Trajano?" Gio asked.
"The one and only," I replied in an unenthusiastic manner. I hated talking about my family because w

Shifting in my sleep, I groaned as I felt a heavy weight on me. Something was crushing me, something heavy and masculine but I was unable to open my eyes due to the pounding veins in my head. My mind went blank as I tried to remember where I was or what happened in the club last night.After a lot of effort, I succeeded in opening my eyes and a sigh of relief left my mouth when I found the familiar ceiling hanging over me. But the relief didn't last long. My insides twisted in panic when the arm around me tightened.Shit.My eyes slowly travelled upwards from the muscular arm that was holding me in place to the face of my probable one night stand. And when I recognized the familiar sharp jaw and plump lips, the panic heightened.Crap. Crap. Crap."Stav," I slowly jerked him."Hmm." He mumbled and snuggled deeper into me. The fruity scent of his shampoo filled my nose and I stilled. His face was inches away from me and I couldn't help but fee

With a large burrito in one hand and beer in the other, I was watching Vampires Mermaids on television when my phone suddenly started ringing. A groan left my mouth when my eyes fell on the name of my boss on the mobile screen. Putting the burrito aside, I picked up the phone and answered it."Be at my apartment in exactly an hour," she stated in her signature voice."Wait," I said in confusion. "Are... Are you going to fire me? I swear I didn't take a peek when I was changing your clothes. What other proof do you need?""I am not firing you, idiot." Her annoyed voice came from the other side of the phone. "Be here. We have some work to do.""But it's Sunday," I mumbled under my breath, staring at my ragged clothes. "I could have other plans.""Do you have any plans?" she asked."No, but...""Figured." Saying this, she cut the call, leaving no room for an argument.Well, here goes nothing.••&bull
My Lady, My Boss Chapter 16
It was a regular morning. As soon as I entered the elevator, my eyes fell on Alice standing in a corner, scrolling on her mobile screen. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, with a few locks framing her face. She was wearing a red silk blouse with black pants that accentuated her long legs."Good morning," I said as I went to the opposite corner. She lifted her head to look at me and a frown appeared on her forehead."What happened to your hair?" she asked.I stared into the mirror at the top of the door to check what she meant but couldn't find anything. "What?" I asked her."It is a mess," she replied."Oh no, it's not a mess. It took me fifteen minutes to create this just-out-of-bed look." I cleared.Rolling her eyes, she walked towards me. "We have a meeting and I am not letting you enter the conference room with that hair. Lower your head."I did as she said. Once I bowed my head, she extended her hand and ran her fingers through my

As soon as I entered the restaurant, my eyes landed on Dustin, waving at me from a corner table. Once I reached in him, he pulled out the chair for me and I sat down. He then seated himself infront of me and passed me hischarming smile."You look beautiful." He smiled and a muscle in my chest clenched. He wasn't supposed to say things like that, not when we were trying to adjust as friends."You too," I said and then coughed to clear my throat. "I mean, you look handsome, not beautiful."He chuckled at my words and then picked up the menu card. "So, should we order something? The waiter has been staring at me for quite some time," heasked."Sure. One steak, medium well," I said tothe waiter."Same for me," he said to the waiter and then turned his attention to me.It felt weird sitting in his presence, knowing we weren't together anymore. He was my first serious boyfri

As soon as I stepped out of Alice's private plane, the crisp air of L.A greeted me. I had been planning to come here for a long time but never found the right time or occasion. And now, my first time here was merely a business trip."Why are you buying a hotel all the way over here?" I asked, giving her a brief glance. Her hair was swaying with the wind and some dark locks were falling on her forehead, making her look ethereal. The large pair of sunglasses was hiding her beautiful eyes from me."I like this city." She shrugged and then made her way towards the car that was here to pick us up."Why do you want to buy a hotel anyway?" I asked, following her."You ask too many questions, Stav," she replied and sat inside the car."Forgive me for being a little curious," I mumbled as I entered through the other door and soon, we were on our way.The whole car drive went silently until we finally stopped in front of a massive hotel building.

The bed of the hotel was so cozy and warm that one couldn't help but sleep till late. That explains why I woke up at 10 in the morning, instead of my usual time which was before sunrise. A loud yawn left my mouth as I hopped out of my bed and slipped into my slippers.Doing my morning routine, I lazily walked out of my room and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee reached my nose. I turned my head towards the kitchen counter where Stav was busy making black coffee for himself. He looked completely engrossed in doing that and didn't even acknowledge my presence."I need coffee." I said as I plopped on the couch and massaged my head with my fingers."Here." He returned with two cups few moments later.Taking one cup out of the tray, I inhaled deeper and let the rich aroma calm my anxiety. My focus was on the coffee when I felt Stav's eyes on me. When I turned my head towards him, he had already looked away.Lowering my eyes, I realized I was still in m

Alice's driver dropped me at my apartment at almost midnight. If it was any other employer, he or she would have told me to take the next day off because I just sacrificed my weekend but it was Alice. She specifically told me to be at the office on time, and not a minute late.My kind boss, ladies and gentlemen.Mentally and physically exhausted, I entered the elevator, dragging my suitcase with me. The seconds seemed to stretch into minutes as I finally reached our floor and made my way towards my apartment.Inside the apartment, a familiar scene greeted me. My roommate Isaiah, cuddled with his girlfriend Kylie, as they both watched a romcom on the LCD screen."You both were in the same position when I left. Please tell me at least one of you left the house during the whole weekend." I exasperated, collapsing on the beanbag chair in one corner of the lounge."Why would we do that when we can spend the whole weekend in each other's embrace?" Isaiah

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, a familiar silence greeted me. I looked around to find Stav, who usually rushed towards me the minute I left elevator, but he was nowhere to be found. Confusion dawned on me but I ignored it and stepped forwards.While passing through the corridor, my eyes fell on the girl that Stav often hung out with. Sunshine, was it?"Good evening, Miss Montelebalo," she said as she noticed me walking towards her, her voice giving away some of her fear.I was about to speak when I noticed a ginger guy listening at us attentively. "Don't you have some work to do? Were you hired to eavesdrop?" I eyed him warningly, and he scooted back in his seat.I then turned my attention to the blonde girl standing in front of me cautiously. "Where is Stav? Is he in his office?" I asked."I don't know, Miss Alice. I haven't seen him today," Sunshine replied.This further heightened my confusion. Nodding, I walked back to my offi
