Chapter 7: Zane & Amoy

-

A few days had passed Darius sat in the living room of Amoy's mansion, reading one of the books he had started to read before they went to the family mansion.

"Sir would you like anything to drink?" Darius looked up from his back meeting the blue eyes of Amoy's butler, Xavier, he had been there for her, well he had been there for the entire family since birth, he was born into the life, his parents were a part of the staff when he grew up he became apart of the staff as well, he made it to the head of the staff but he gave that all up to go work for Amoy.

"I told you to call me Darius and you don't need to get me a drink when I have two legs, in other words, I'm fine. Take a seat and join me, please." Xavier smiled doing as told.

"What are you reading?"

"No clue, but it's interesting. Whiskey?" He asked Xavier shook his head.

"I can't drink on the job." Darius sighed pouring two glasses.

"You also shouldn't be taking a break before lunch but here we are." He handed him the glass of whiskey.

"You are a bad influence," Xavier said taking a sip while Darius went back to reading.

"You're welcome."

A few minutes had passed before Xavier spoke. "I should help with dinner, Ms Tyler will be back from work soon. Thank you for the drink." Darius nodded he was actually surprised Xavier had taken a break for that long, it was a record 2 minutes.

"Have fun."

Amoy sat in the meeting with her idea team, "What do you all have for me today?" She asked, she was currently working on a new project for her business as she wanted to expand it,

"We could have a book premier for-" Amoy immediately cuts the person off.

"This meeting is for the underwear line, not the authors that meeting is next week. So anyone else?" Everyone stayed quiet making her sigh, already knowing this meeting was going to start a disaster and end one.

"You all thought this was for the authors didn't you." They all nodded she clasped her hands together trying to calm herself, she knew she wasn't angry with them. "I hired you all for a reason, it shouldn't be so hard for you to come up with ideas." Amoy was still tense from her trip to her family manor, so she was taking out a little of her frustration and anger on them. One of them raised their hand.

"What's on your mind, Zane?" Even though Zane and Amoy were having an office affair, she made sure it didn't affect their work-life or personal life.

"We should make a woman's lingerie line that is sexy but is also comfortable and doesn't affect nor irritate the skin for example people with eczema their-" Amoy wasn't surprised, she had hired him for something other than amazing sex.

"Zane write that up and send it to me, very good." He sent her a smile. "Anyone else?" They stayed quiet once again thinking.

Just as Amoy was about to speak up her phone buzzed indicating she got a message, looking down at it, she saw it was from Xavier. 'Do not bury yourself in work. Dinner will be ready before 8' She grinned softly, Xavier was like a second father to her, it warmed her heart about how much he cared and how he took care of her.

She responded with a quick 'See you at 7 then'

Checking the time, she saw it was 6:40 PM, she turned off her phone feeling the piercing eyes of the people around her, all looking worriedly as most hadn't come up with a single idea.

"Sorry I need to cut this meeting short, I have some things to take of, we'll continue this tomorrow at 10, this time with ideas." She told them smiling to loosen their tense shoulders, they all let out a breath of relief sitting back in their chairs as she left.

Walking back to her office her assistant, Bob, immediately ran to her side. "Ms Tyler, the Movers need you to sign this to move some things out of the warehouse to the other one." Amoy sighed talking the clipboard placing it on Bob's desk, reading it swiftly before signing it.

"Also the Winters want to know your answer about merging by the end of the week." Amoy nodded walking to her office.

"Bob, Tell them no, Also I'm leaving early, any important meetings?" He shook his head with that she entered her office, taking up her handbag, she was ready to leave but a knock on the door stopped her.

"Come in." And the person did, it was Zane. "What can I do for you?" He closed the door behind him, locking it.

She could tell from that and the look on his face that he wasn't here for business, he was here for pleasure. "Zane-" He cut her off by pulling her into a kiss, she was caught off guard but she quickly reacted as she deepened the kiss, he moved her back against the desk hands unbuttoning her shirt, she knew she was not getting home by 7.

Darius ate at the dining table that was filled with all sorts of food alone, while Xavier stood waiting for Amoy to enter, he checked his watch continuously. Darius pitied him, it's like Xavier never learned that it was rare for Amoy to come home early because of work or Zane, both kept her in late. 

"Xavier sit and eat with me, she's not coming for another 3 hours, you know how long it takes them." The butler sighed deciding to listen to him as he took a seat beside him.

"Do you think it's him this time?" Darius gave him a look.

"Of course it's Zane, he's probably having-" Xavier immediately stopped him there.

"Amoy is like a daughter to me, I do not want to picture her and that waste of space." A laugh came from Darius, he was honestly surprised Xavier insulted Zane, he had never heard him speak ill of anyone...well he hadn't heard him speak ill of someone and made the insult so obvious.

"What did Zane do to you?" He knew Xavier wasn't the type of person to hate anyone for no reason.

"I guess I'm a little mad that he's only with Amoy for intercourse, I want her to be in a relationship where she actually feels something-"

"Well I mean she technically is feeling-" Darius said cutting in smiling amused.

"Emotionally not physically, she deserves better than this, it's sad she doesn't realize it-" Just like that the front door closed.

"I'm here! So sorry I'm late Xavier!" Amoy walked in out of breath, Xavier looked displeased from the frown on his face.

"It's fine, I would recommend you to take a shower before you eat Ms Tyler. Excuse me, Darius, enjoy your meal." They watched as he left the room leaving the two alone.

"How mad is he?" She asked sitting beside Darius as there was already an untouched plate of food beside him.

"I would say 5 out of 10." She sighed taking off her jacket showing off the hickeys on her neck. He cleared his throat getting up, "I'm going to read in the living room, I suggest you cover your neck if you're going to talk to him." She sighed.

"Hickeys?" He nodded before going to the living room taking up the book he had almost finished.
