“I haven’t heard any news from you, it’s been a week, I hope you’ve been getting closer to him?”, Mrs stone asked through the phone hoping to get a positive response
“Yes ma’am, everything’s going according to plan ma. I will be very close to him for the next two weeks”, I replied her as I wondered why she called just after a week“Ok, that’s good to know. I need you to do a perfect job because my son would be back from his business program in less than two months. So whatever you are doing, do quick and get done with it”, she added and I could literally feel how excited she was. “Ok ma. Will do just as you have said” I answered fully ready to end the conversation but i couldn’t… “One urgent task you need to do this week and report back to me”, she said and I knew this task will definitely not be easy knowing how desperate she was “Ok ma. What’s the urgent task?”,I asked feeling skeptical about it “I want you to take a step further and make him kiss you or you kiss him. Let me know how his lips taste like, I need to know you are really seducing him. He should have started falling for you by now, I know why I picked you, I could easily go outside and hire any model” she said not knowing how annoying she sounded in my ears. “Ma I’ve just been here for a week, it’s too soon to do what you just asked and besides your stepson is not someone that entertains having female friends”, I said knowing fully well that I could not do what she just asked me to do “Let me remind you that you don’t have a choice Naomi and you are going to do exactly as I have said”, she said getting really pissed off and I could feel her rising anger through the phone. “But ma..”, I said about to state reasons why I couldn’t do what she just asked me to do“No buts.. , just do as you are told or you’ll be sorry. And know these words are not mere words, you can definitely take them as a threat “Ok ma. I’ll do as you have said and report back to you ma”, I added quickly knowing fully well that she’s capable of doing horrible things if I don’t do what she wants.“That’s good, be a good girl and we won’t ever have issues”, she said and hung up “What’s in my schedule today? Is the trip to New Orleans still scheduled for today?”he asked, as I went through the documents, I found out that the trip was today and I completely forgot to prepare for it.“Yes sir. We should be heading to the airport by 3pm, the flight is by 4pm and we should get to the hotel around 8pm”, i said giving a full report of what I just read and thinking of how to quickly prepare for the trip without letting my boss find out i forgot about the trip. “I know you haven’t prepared for this trip so don’t act like you knew about it. I know you are someone who lacks the sense of direction, so just go and prepare and pack all the documents for this trip and we’ll go over them at the hotel”, he said harshly, not minding if it was my first time being a personal assistant. “Thank you sir”, I replied after being insulted again by this jerk. It’s obvious he’s never going to be the kind one…who was I kidding. I wouldn’t want to be tasting his lips tonight if I had a choice. ~at the hotel in New Orleans~ “When you are done settling in, come to my room and let’s quickly go through the documents and see if there should be any changes. Tomorrow’s clients are very important and no mistakes would be allowed”, he said more like an order and left for his room and I walked to mine just a few doors away from him. This is a very awful time for Mrs Stone to be asking for such, she’s obviously doubting me. She doesn’t know I want to teach this her rude stepson a lesson tooI’ll just need to go with this skimpy skirts and I should definitely not wear any bras under my top. I’m very nervous because I don’t know if it’s going to go according to plan or I’m going to be fired after todayBang bang I knocked on his door…“Sir it’s me and I’m ready to go over the documents against tomorrow’s meeting”, I said quite nervous as the skirt I was wearing was showing every bit of my leg and my nipples could be seen through my top.“Come in and sit down, we don’t have any more minute to waste”, he said as he opened the door and his eyes instantly fell on my breast but he immediately takes them off and goes in to sit down “Sir according to these documents our clients past relationships with other companies were not good, why don’t we try offering a relationship with them first?” I said sitting close to him and our hands mistakenly brushed each other for a second“That’s a nice idea”, he added as he took a quick glance of my body making me more nervous as to when to initiate the kiss “I’ll go get water sir”, I said getting up to walk over to the other side of the room to get the water because I needed to get away from him , I couldn’t stand his body being so close anymore Then all of a sudden, he stood up and held my hands and made me turn over to face him and he kissed my lips and I froze for a moment before realizing what was going on.He stopped for a while and looked at my face and I couldn’t read any emotions on his face. He brought his face closer again and kissed my lips hungrily, I was totally lost in the kiss and I eventually parted my lips for him and I could definitely taste wine on his tongue. “You smell nice and your lips was so inviting I couldn’t look away”, he said as he placed his hands on my stomach making me shiver and a little scared. I didn’t know this night was gonna take this turn“Hmm thanks”, I said not knowing what to say as he continued the kiss and his hands were going under my top“This is definitely what you’ve been looking for right?”, he says as he touches my breast under my top making me to shiver as I let out a little moan“What do you mean it’s what I’ve been looking for?”, I asked facing him trying to focus on my question and not on the hand on my breasts“Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about”, he muttered as he looks at me in a very weird way “ I definitely do not know what you are talking about,could you explain better”,I said now totally in confusion as I push him away from me“I know my dad obviously sent you and with the way you’ve been acting around me it’s obvious he wants you to seduce me. At first I thought you were into Daniel but dressing like this to meet me you just confirmed all my suspicions”,he said looking at me with disgust written all over his face“Sir I know I shouldn’t say this but you’re a jerk”, I yelled out angrily as I stormed out of his room not caring what was gonna happen “His lips tasted like wine, what else do you want to know ma?”, i asked really pissed at both the step son and his step mom. Their family is sure full of weirdo’s “That’s good. Now I need to you to be extra careful because I don’t want anything to affect this plan”, she said through the phone with so much excitement hidden in her voice “Ok ma, I’ll let you know if there’s any issu..”, I said as I turned around slowly only to see him standing at my back. I stood with my eyes wide staring at him and he stared back at me “Did he hear me?!”Seeing his face the memory rushes in like a flash, reminding me of last night. “Now I’m definitely sure that jothan is up to no good,” Nora said to herself hearing her doubts clearly. Well there isn’t much to say or prove to anyone but I’m very sure he’s up to no good. “But wait… it’s his dad company so maybe he was sent to pick up something for him or for Damon himself?,” I questioned myself trying to think things through and place my suspicions rightly. I just can’t get this feeling out of me, it’s like oil rolling of my back. Maybe after all I should really be careful around him and I’ll love to let it go but no! I’m going to find out to what extent he will go if he’s truly up to something. “I’m no longer a puppy in love, following after a boy like a lost cause,” I confirmed to myself. It’s high time I do something meaningful and help find out and maybe it’ll help me clear out the guilt I feel towards Damon. I have to help out anyway I can… “
“Damon I can explain”, I shivered as I could finally open my mouth to say something. “What do you mean you can explain?”he asked, putting on an indifferent look on his face. “I mean.. you know.. I didn’t mean to”, i stammered completely scared and ashamed of myself. “Why do you look scared baby, be calm”, he uttered moving closer to me. “Uhn?” I asked in confusion. “It’s fine baby girl, I don’t want you to be scared around me and it’s completely normal if you wanted to do a research”, he said, caressing my cheeks. “Uhn?!”, I asked, completely lost and still confused. “Didn’t I just get caught ?!”I murmured to myself “Let’s call it even, I have your info and you equally have mine.”, he murmured calmly with a soft smile. “What?!”, I asked, still completely confused. “I said it’s okay baby, it’s even now I guess but I don’t want you using whatever you got there to judge me”, he said putting on a pity face. “OKay I guess”, I stammered as my heart continued to be
“You finally agreed to come out with me for dinner?”, He muttered putting on his best smile. I missed you, missed your feel against my skin, it felt like you were slowly drifting away these past weeks”, he murmured bitterly. “You know I wasn't purposely avoiding you, I needed a little space and we definitely shouldn't be too close at work”, I explained feeling a lot better and less worried after I didn't get any reply or messages for the past two weeks now. “I thought I asked you not to worry about that, I call the shots so you never have to be worried.”, He said convincingly, staring directly at my eyes. “And what happens when you don't get to call the shots anymore”, I asked, staring back at him hoping to see if he had any secret fear of that happening. It would be better if he could have such fear and be on the lookout for himself. “if I don't get to call the shots anymore then I'll still be very glad and happy to just have you by my side.”, He said with so much sincer
~Nora pov~Is he ignorant or he just boldly told Sophie a vital information that could give her access to know more and maybe, just maybe have a leverage on Naomi. I've been trying so hard not to act weirdly around him because his presence literally sends shivers down my spine. It's very weird how I feel somehow around him, like I should hide myself and be safe. I'm sure it's the fact that I was in love with him and did some very bad things for his mom and now that so-called love can't even recognize me. I would sure keep my heart locked up tight, there is nothing as heartbreaking to know he couldn't recognize me even just for the sake that I worked in his house from childhood. No inclining or anything!! Or would I say that it's okay I looked only familiar?! Nothing can truly replace this hurt in my heart and I shouldn't blame jothan right? I can just take the easy road and blame Mrs stone, she's the one behind all this and jothan should possibly know nothing and is innoce
“why did you turn down the get together meant for you?”, Sophie asked angrily but more with a disappointed look on her face. “There wasn't any need for it anymore, it ain't my first task since I've been here for a while now and besides it's my company, so why throw a party for me?”, Jothan said sitting on his desk which was beside Sophie's. “Firstly, it's Damon's company and secondly, everyone was looking forward to the get together. You know it's the one time we get to meet each other freely and have free drinks” Sophie said with a pout as she was greatly disappointed. “We both know why you wanted it to hold and trust me whatever plans you had in this little head might not have worked out well”, jothan said touching Sophie's head lightly before she pushes it away. “Don't touch me! I've warned you severally”, she called out as she felt like she was caught red handed by jothan in her schemes. “You know the only reason I haven't sued you is because you are my future brother-in
~ Mrs stone~“So you finally agreed to let my boy start working in your company”, Mrs Stone uttered through the phone with an air of sudden achievement. “I assume you called for something important and just to refresh your memory jothan’s my son too,” Mr Robert answered very irritated when he heard her voice, he was way too in a hurry to end the call with her. A call with her never amounted to anything. “Oh wow, this calls for celebration, you finally recognize him as your son?!” She spews out. “What do you mean? Did I ever once reject him?!”he responded doubting his words a little, but always losing patience with her. “Never giving your supposed son a spot in your company and taking him away from home all in the name of business school isn’t rejection enough for you?”“And why would you say such? I thought it only fair for Jothan to attend business school just as Damon did”, Mr Robert responded, never understanding the way she thought. “You don’t mind explaining why he’s at s
