Restaurant.
Lennox scanned the menu but nothing caught his gaze, Vince waited patiently as the server fidgeted beside them. Lennox motioned the server closer, pointing at what he wanted. The server left, grateful to be out of their presence."You're making everyone uncomfortable with your scowling. Stop ruining a dinner we haven't even started yet"."I'm not scowling, I'm just tense today".A small grin tugged on Vince's lips. "Why? Did you fight with your girlfriend or what". Lennox flinched, his gaze fixed on the champagne flute, and jaws clenched. "I think I should leave, I don't have an appetite anymore" he got out, proceeding to stand before Vince reached out to stop him. Lennox remained seated, watching Vince's features tighten as he got serious, his fingers that were clad with expensive diamond rings running through his hair in frustration."It's been six years Lennox, I thought you'd be better now, haven't you moved onHe did leave his door open when he was not in the office. Sophia smiled, entering his office with a bag filled with the items that she had gotten to add more color to the office. The space of the room never ceased to amaze her, and the view from the window was spectacular, if only he left the shades up. He had a closet beside his desk which was insanely cool, the sliding door was decorated with a dark leafy pattern. Sophia couldn't resist getting a peak. She pushed the door open, taking stock of the neatly arranged shirts, suits, shoes, and other accessories. He should move into his office, cause I don't see why he has a house anymore. She shrugged the thought off, bringing out a disposable smoothie cup filled with strawberry smoothie_just because she wanted to piss him off, but make him happy at the same time, she arranged his files, dusted the furniture then placed the small flower pot with a cactus on his desk. Why a cactus? Because he was a prickly ba... Sophia stopped herself
BOARD ROOM.Lennox was in a sour mood, hence why he found the littlest reason to lash out at any discrepancies that cropped up in his manager's report. It didn't sit well with him that he had been genuinely happy for a moment when he deserved to be sad all the time, he also didn't like the low-profit margin he was seeing in their monthly report."You're telling me this is all we have so far, no increase at all this month" he directed at Jonathan."Sir Lennox, this year, I mean to say that the midyear sales are usually this low, because of the heat, people don't feel the need to explore, travel or try new things, they prefer to stay home where it's more comfortable, hence why they don't patronize our business". Jonathan replied, looking to the others for support."Are you going to give me such a cheap excuse, because of all the things I expected, it was not that. People don't want to buy our items?" He scoffed, his hard gaze cutting at Jonathan. "Need I remi
Lennox stepped into his office, stopping in his tracks as he noticed that everything had been cleaned and arranged. A strawberry smoothie graced the center of his, with an energy bar. The review of the financial reports was placed neatly on his desk, she had highlighted all the important details making it a lot easier. He looked around for the phone he had smashed, searching the waste bin but coming up with nothing. He stepped towards his desk, picking up the paper underneath the smoothie.Dear sir.Don't worry about the phone, I already got a new one. The smoothie is to make your day brighter and enjoy the additional snack. I already reviewed the report, so that's cleared off your schedule for today. Have a nice day sir Lennox Ray".Your assistant.Lennox read and read it again, remembering the day before, how he'd shouted at her and smashed her phone. He felt horrible, even tho he'd been at breaking point, his head on the verge of exploding, he shouldn't have taken his anger out on
Andria's Apartment."Let's face it you all, we are stuck with bossy jerks, gosh, damn it all". Bianca said, wriggling her legs under the sheets which covered the four of them. A large bowl of sweets and chocolate took the center space.Sophia stuffed her mouth, chewing as she spoke. "Yeah, Len just pisses me off every second of the day. I mean I am being extremely nice to him and he didn't even have the courtesy of saying sorry, it's a freaking nightmare".Sana tugged at her hair. "Oliver wants me to get him a freaking girlfriend, or else he's going to get me fired, by not taking the competition seriously, you'd think he might value his work even just a little bit, but he doesn't, what can I do girls".They all listened to her whine, before Sophia flopped back, looking at the ceiling."You'll have to get him a girlfriend then".Bianca shook her head, pulling Sophia into a seating position."Hell no, don't do it, Sana, you know how Oliver breaks up with his girlfriend, he's so heartles
Lennox ran his fingers through his hair, messing up his hard labor of making it slick and straight. He hadn't been sleeping well, not when thoughts of what his new assistant would be up to the next day plagued his mind like a virus. He'd come to anticipate a surprise whenever he stepped into his office, so he was shocked when he saw his empty desk.Did she quit already? Was it because I didn't apologize for her phone?. He questioned himself, ruining his hair further in frustration. He didn't want to care, wasn't this what he wanted, her leaving because she couldn't take it anymore. It was, but he felt awful. He almost sighed in relief when the door opened and she stepped in with her blinding wide smile, her eyes shining at him. He found it hard to breathe for a second. "Good morning sir Lennox, you must have been surprised because I didn't come in earlier right?" She asked excitedly, as she waited for him to answer."I wasn't waiting for you," he said, avoiding her gaze, he tried not
Oliver's thighs bounded excitedly as he sat waiting, he couldn't quite believe how fast it was that his assistant managed to get him a girlfriend, he just hoped she wouldn't be as boring as the last one."What's taking her so long, I don't like to be kept waiting, or is she planning to bail on me," he said gasping. No one ghosted Oliver Leo, this was unacceptable, he thought as his gaze darted to the door. He checked his watch, an hour had passed.He glanced up from his watch as he heard footsteps approaching his table, then froze as time seemed to come to stop.Beautiful... Red heals a white dress that made her look like an angel, a silver necklace that rested on her smooth pale neck, almost like a caress, sleek blond wavy curls, and the face of his assistant Sana.He jerked, leaping from his seat in surprise. "Sana, what are you doing here, and you look different, are you meeting someone," he asked, looking around at the few people that occupied the restaurant.Sana smiled, then st
Here we go again, Sophia thought as she ran after Lennox to tell him his next schedule even after countless times he'd told her not to. Lennox approached the elevator, Sophia caught up with him, then pressed the elevator open button for him to get inside. Sophia turned to go take the stair but the warm hand wrapping around her wrist had her breath hitching, as she whirled to face him before her gaze dropped to where his hands held her. He seemed to realize the contact and he jerked his hand to his side, avoiding her gaze as he cleared his throat."You can ride the elevator with me" he stated and Sophia almost threw a fist in the air after getting over her initial surprise. She stepped in, glancing at him from the corner of her eyes as the elevator closed. Sophia pressed against the wall as the elevator suddenly became too small to house the man who seemed to suck in all the space around him, she felt as if there was something about him that tugged at her, pushing her to want to get c
Sophia gasped tumbling back on her ass as Lennox's eyes blinked open. In a moment of sheer panic, she crawled towards the side of the bed, lying low and wishing that the floor would swallow her, or at the least merge with her.Lennox squinted drowsily, his eyes drifting around the room before he flopped back on the bed in exhaustion."You won't let me have even a peaceful sleep, will you" he muttered, messing up his hair as he got comfortable.Sophia held her breath, staying still even when it felt like her heart was about to burst out of her chest. She berated herself for keeping the camera flash on without even realizing it. What if he decided to use the restroom, he'd have to put his feet over the side of the bed, the same side she was on. Sophia shook her head, as she started crawling towards the door, she was almost there when her leg hit the table where an array of beautiful vases was displayed, she stared wide-eyed as one of the vases tethered, then fell over with a loud crash a
