Chapter 17She was really seeing things right?Christian Berth was In front of her, no he actually recognized her."Christian Berth?" She called again and he smiled."Long time no see." He stood up from his table and came to hers.Her jaw dropped. He was looking as handsome as ever."You...the news said, you were in Nicaragua." She said, and he smiled."I was though but I just came back. That place was tough."That was a lie. Was it though? He was looking so Handsome!Was it that tough or he was just joking? She couldn't point out, but he was looking so sexy and hot as if he hadn't just..."What about you? I've been asking around but no one knows your schedule these days.""Uhmm, I am currently shooting for Stone Corporation. Their wallpaper and some other things." She said, her mind drifting to Bennett.That jerk!"Ohh..the great Stone Corporation. Heard the guy's tough. How do you handle such a person?" "He's tough but depends on how you do things. But we're going along.' She answe
Chapter 18A week later and Octavia was back in her company.Sofia had gone to Texas cause of some duel she had with Calista but Octavia knew better.She was after her only crush."Good day to you too." She smiled at the man in front of her and gestured towards the chair for him to sit."I called.""I saw it." She shrugged, dropping her leg on the table."This isn't professional." His lips curled up and she rolled her eyes."It's my office Williams, and I do unprofessional things here. It's best if you see it that way." She shrugged, picking a file and glancing through it."You said you would think about it and talk it out with the board." He mumbled, standing up and walking to the glass."I did think about it, and I'm still thinking about it. Don't worry." She. chuckled.Few days ago, she didn't know how she had become close to this guy.He was funny although cold just like that jerk!"You have to make this stand or else there's no deal." He said and she scoffed."I'm suppose to be t
Chapter 19Octavia shifted on her foot.Why was the atmosphere turning bad.She bit her lips, moving back. This was bad.A hand went to her waist just as she was about to fall."Ha! Thank you so much William." She mumbled, and shook her head.That was on stupid move."Mr Wayne." William stretched out his hand for a shake but Bennett never took it.Were they enemies? Well, that was their problem.But why was he looking at her like that?"Do you know each other?' She was forced to asked, because of their stares."Yes, Bennett is a long time friend. Well, that was before it all began." Williams answered and she nodded, not wanting to know what began.Men and their problems.Women were the only people suppose to hold grudges not men like them."Ha! Forget about all those past problems." The girl called Charlotte mumbled with a wave of her hand.'Stupid buggy girl.'"You two fit each other very well, I didn't like what the tabloid wrote about you the other time. That Christian Berth is no
Chapter 20"No, we are not together. We just know each other became Octavia's music till they arrived at her company."I never thought I'd ever have the kind of fun I had today." She mumbled, giggling."Then sign the contract Miss Octavia. I personally made that fun." He said and she frowned.Couldn't he for once stop talking about the nonsense Contract."I will sign it after the fun we'll have again tommorow." She said and he hissed."Look here little one, I don't have the time to come play tommorow. I did everything I did for that contract. You can't tell me to come back the fuck here tomorrow and play again. What are you? Seven?" He glared hard."Well, I'm so sorry for all that Mr Yuan. You didn't look like this when we were busy riding that dosco bang and I can swear I saw you laugh. So please stop acting all cocky and come back here tommorow or you could forget about the damn contract cause I won't be signing that shit till you're here tommorow. Get that?" She shrugged and he chu
Chapter 21The day was going to be hectic.She knew that. She didn't wake up at the right side of the bed, so she knew how bad the day would turn out.Her head was banging so hard.Damn! She should have listened to Ryan and get some rest rather than sign the huge paperwork.Running her hand through her hair, she sighed as she took a seat on the chair at the dining table."What's wrong with you? Hangover or headache?" Sofia asked, walking out of the kitchen with a mug of tea.Dropping one for Octavia, she sighed as she grabbed the mug and gulp the content down in a go.She was so tired."I did tell her to rest her head last night, but she didn't listen." Ryan walked in with a mug of tea too."I did rest...""But it was too late." Ryan completed, cutting her off."When did you get back?" Octavia asked, turning to Sofia to see they woman roll her eyes."Who do you think prepared the food Ryan brought to you? Don't tell me you lied to her, that you prepared it?" She turned to Ryan who rai
Chapter 22Octavia stilled.What was going on?Hurriedly, she climbed into the car just as he opened it and he slided inside as well.Grabbing the key, he ignited the engine of the car."What is wrong? Who is chasing us?' She asked. Bennett didn't like this one but! He gave her a sharp glare that shut her up."Fuck!' He cussed.If only she had listened to him and go inside, then he was sure he could have handled them pretty well but there was no way he'd fight them and she'd be beside him."What the hell is wrong? Oh God! I wouldn't have come here." Octavia cried, as he drove out of the garage.She turned and hell! there was a car following them.A huge black van!"What did you do to this people? Who the fuck are there?" She asked, as the car drove out to the road.God! She had never felt so afraid.The car that had been chasing them, was now getting closer and was now beside them.Octavia looked up and the driver of the van glared at her, and used his hand to gesture that he would s
Chapter 23It was as if they had began a staring competition as no one said a thing.Why was he staring at her like that?Was she wrong?It had never been recorded of anyone playing with fire without getting burnt.Fire was dangerous and so was anything similar to fire.He was saying he was fire... but was she ready to get burnt?"Boss?""Boss?" They both snapped their eyes to they people that has just entered the house.Octavia could swear she had seen him smile before he turned.It was just a lift of the upper lip but damn...it was everything one could ever wish for.How could one smile so sweetly but never smile at all?He walked down the stairs, staring at the man who was on his knees."Mr...?""Gordon.""Hmm...what a good name you have there." He chuckled."No one sent me." The man said.He had no atom of fear in him even as they men charged closer to punch him.Octavia watched Bennett take out a gun from a holster that was clutWhat was he going to dommm#"I love it that you'r
Chapter 24Hey guys.... from this chapter I'll be making it first point of view not third point, so please do well to Cooperate and ask questions when you do not understand.OctaviaI had been shown to my room few minutes ago. I sat beside my window after taking my bath.One could see little of the flashlights and the city road light from where i sat.There was silent...dead silent and I wasn't used to it.I was use to the bickerings between Sofia and Ryan and I.My eyes widened when i recalled that i had not even called them yet.Rushing out of the room, i walked down the stairs.. looking for Bennett.My cellphone. After the incident, I had misplaced my phone and right now i wanted to speak with any member of my family.Walking through the hall, i sniffed the air to perceive a sweet aroma that was coming from a room close to the hall where i stood.I walked faster and my eyes widened seeing Bennett in front of the gas cooker.Was he cooking?"Are you going to keep standing there and
