Sapphire knocked on the door after the secretary told her to go ahead. She really wants to stay away from this man but too bad, she is stuck here until she achieves her goal.You can’t keep dancing with the devil and wonder why you are not out of hell.She opened the door when he heard his voice, telling her to come in. She dropped the weird woman act and looked around the office with disgust written all over her face. This place used to be her office, well not technically but it was the office she designed for herself.Oliver raised his head to tell off the woman that entered his office and didn’t bother to greet him, it was bad enough that he had never heard of her name, he wondered how a person that isn’t from a well-known family ended up at SJAY.You only get to work there if you are rich or extremely brilliant, there is no in between. He hired the zero brain for their connection, he just put them in a position where all they have to do is easy, but for those with a brain, he put
Sapphire stood in front of the building and exhaled loudly, she was throwing herself to the wolves, it would be pathetic if they mauled her.She had taunted Oliver earlier that she was going to yoga practice when what she had was cooking class, if he knew about that and had corrected her it would have been so embarrassing, she could be really clumsy and forgetful at times.This place doesn’t really bring good memories to her, the fact that it looked just the same wasn’t helping her case, she wasn’t really nervous about coming here, it is not just easy to most of them at once because she is sure that more than twenty rich ladies would be here, heiresses, Directress, Manager, some are even CEO like Melissa and Tiara.“Oh my God!” Someone said, dramatically. The voice was coming from behind her but she didn’t make a move to turn, she already knew who it was, she faced the receptionist who was staring at her suspiciously because she was treating her well.She must have been so used to rud
Everyone gasped watching them with wide eyes, Heather had her hand on her cheek, eyes red and wide.“That should teach you a fucking lesson not to mess with me and that goes to every fucking person present here,” Sapphire said pushing Heather away, she loosed her balance and fell to the ground.Sapphire stood straight and stared at everyone present in the room with cold eyes, leaving no emotion showing.“Mess with me and I would give you a fate worse than the terrible ones you already had, got it?” She asked and they all cowered.Sapphire felt like she was on top of the world, it felt strangely satisfying and ordinary as she watched them avert their eyes.She wondered why on earth she never did this in the past, these people who just stood rooted in a spot would be the first to initiate an argument between her and Melissa years ago.They were the one that backbite her the most in the past, well they also did it to her face with Heather's support.“I hate your guts,” Heather said, grit
Sapphire’s eyes were wide in shock as she stared at Alexander whose body was soaked in his own blood, she remained motionless for a while and it was only when he fell on the ground, groaning in pain that her senses which seemed to have wandered away came back to her.She rushed to him and saw that the wound was from a gunshot, her eyes scanned the wound and she hooked her arm to his, trying to take him to the couch but he was too heavy for her. She raised her head and found herself staring at a man who was gawking at her.She raised a brow at him in askance but he was too busy staring, Sapphire clicked her finger and he jolted out of his daydream.“Who are you?” She finally asked.“I am Zayn, Alexander’s friend,” He introduced and helped her take Alexander to the couch.“Close that door for me, would you?”“Isn’t it daring to invite me in just because I said that I am Alexander’s friend, I know that with his character he wouldn’t talk about me to you, what if I came to hurt you?” He a
Sapphire opened her eyes slowly but all she could see was the flesh of some and a white cloth, she realized that her head was laying in some part of a person's body. She raised her head and saw herself staring at Alexander's face, she gave herself a moment as she recalled the event of the past day, she quickly moved away when she realized that she must have been straining the man's wound. She rolled to the other side and kept staring at him, the sunlight ray was directly on his face, the light made his black hair look like a very dark shade of blue, his jade-like brows, lip lashes, straight nose and pink lips made him look like something out of a perfect portrait. What she didn't understand is how on earth this man who could get any woman he wants kept pinning after her, was she really worth it? “Good morning,” he murmured and used her body to shield himself from the ray of sunlight, he moved and a groan fell from his lips. “Don't move too much, you are going to open that wound,
Sapphire rushed downstairs, she already had a hint that she was calling a thief but she is afraid that it may be a real misunderstanding and Luci can be really crazy when she is in the mood.It is just past nine and a Luci who is awake at this time on a Saturday would be definitely cranky.Alexander was walking after her calmly with a scowl on his face, he looked so irritated and like he would blow up anytime soon.“Zayn is a damn bastard,” he muttered to himself.“You said?” Sapphire asked, but Alexander just shook his head.“Why the hell are you screaming?” Claire asked, walking in from the yard, it was obvious that she had already woken up a while because she was already dressed.“The fuck is wrong with you? How would a thief enter a member of the Aldines' house, especially the one who controls all its affairs, brain Luci, use your damn brain,” Alyssa said, she wasn't usually this casual with Luci but she wasn't a morning person either.Her hair was a mess and all over the place,
Luci watched as someone went to retrieve the club and sniffed, she adjusted her gloves and cap.“Did you do this often?” She asked Oliver and he nodded.“I rarely did it before but I am finding myself interested in it nowadays,” he said, nonchalantly and she nodded.‘no, idiot. You only came because I suggested that we come here, I am sure that your ass is nearly suffocating,’ Luci thought.The man placed the ball on the tee and moved away from their sight, she moved forward, the golf club in her hand.She swung it and took a tee shot, it was pretty good so Oliver applauded her, nodding her head in approval.“How long have you been doing this?”‘before your damn ass started doing it,’ she thought to herself but smiled at Oliver.“All my life,” she replied with a giggle instead. She placed both hands on the club and stared into the distance.“You are so good at this,” He complimented.‘of course, I am good at it, I am not you,’ she thought, sarcastically.“My dad is a pro, he used to f
“Wait, that is the punishment?” Sapphire said and the kids nodded in confirmation.“Is it too easy?” Andrew asked and Sapphire shook her head. “Alexander is injured, he shouldn’t move about for too long or he would reopen his wounds, are you not worried about him?” She asked and they shook their heads.“No, we are not worried the tiniest bit, he is a grown man, rich man at that, he should know how to be careful enough to avoid that,”“Since he is rich and all, he won’t actually do anything by himself, save the picnic and trips for other days, why don’t you go to the restaurants that are all around?” Andrea supported her brother.“You guys are going there tomorrow, don’t try to escape us because we would catch you,” Andrew said and Sapphire nodded with a smile on her face.“Okay, I would do as you said,” She said and they clapped their hands together. “What about our time together, I promised that we would all go to the amusement park,”“That is true, I totally forgot about it and I n
