Pulling up at her destination, Arianna turned off the engine, She unbuckled her seatbelt, reached for her handbag in the front passenger seat, and then helped herself out of the car. After making sure her car was properly secured, She made her way towards the salon. A heartwarming smile crept to her lips when she sighted Beatrice and Emily. Bea was standing at the entrance of the salon with Emily in her arms.
"Hiiii" Ari smiled the moment she approached the duo.
"Good afternoon. You look great." Beatrice smiled.
"Stop flattering me, Bea"
"I'm not ma'am. No won
Beatrice's worried expression was replaced with that of relief the moment she set her eyes on Arianna. Unconsciously, her lips slowly curved into a smile when she saw Kaylee's hands intertwined in Ari's own."Sorry we took so long," Arianna said, the moment they got to the table. Emily was already sitting beside Beatrice which was where Kaylee was previously seated. So Kaylee had to sit beside Arianna. Ari helped her get on the chair and then took her seat."It's fine. I was beginning to get worried. I feared that Kaylee was giving you a hard time. Milly and I were about to come to look for you guys."Oh!" Ari blushed. "Sorry we made you guys worrie
"Who let you into my building?" He asked, giving her a nasty glare.She scoffed. "Have you forgotten my father's company was merged with this company by the virtue of our marriage?""And so?" He glared at her."It means this is my building too." She said proudly.Alexander chuckled in disbelief. "You know nothing woman. You're just as dumb as fuck. Is your family's low-budget company the first company Clay International would partner with? How many shares have you even got that give you the right to claim some sort of ownership? You think Anderson Clay doesn't
Arianna stood still with confusion on her face, trying to make sense out of the nonsense that came out of Natalie's mouth.Before she could get herself together, the door of the elevator had come to a close."What the hell?" She mumbled to herself, then proceeded to her desk area. She placed her bag on the table, then turned around to take a glance at Alexander's office. Through the glass-walled door, She saw Alex standing by the window, looking outside. He seemed deep in thoughts and he had both of his hands in his pocket.Ari couldn't care less about what was bothering him, she was more concerned about getting clarifications. She wanted to know wh
Arianna was beyond shocked as she stood still and processed all that Alexander said. To be honest, she had expected him to give lame reasons. Never in her wildest dreams will she have guessed that he went through something so psychologically traumatizing.She did nothing but stared at him, Speechless. The moment Alex completed his statement, he left Arianna's sight, went to the far end corner of his office, and poured himself a glass of white wine. He took a few sips, refilled it and then made his way back to his desk. He sat on his chair, took more sips of his wine, before finally placing the glass cup on the table, disregarding Arianna's presence. Not because he wishes to ignore her, but because he was ashamed after revealing the truth. Even his best friends; Charles, Nicholas and Leo, have no idea about what he just told Ari
Arianna swallowed painfully, hoping to ease some tension in her. As every second passed by, it became harder not to react to Alexander's presence. Him being close to her was enough to make her heart rate quicken. And the feel of his skin against hers wasn't making matters easier. She tried to stop Alex by removing his fingers away from her left cheek but he refused to let go."You have no right to be uncomfortable before me. We are dating now, remember?" He said, looking into her eyes. He could tell she was on her shy behavior. Even her cheek had started to turn crimson red."A....alex" She started to say but he placed a finger on her plum lips."I
Alexander had no idea why he was quite nervous as he drove in the direction of Arianna's apartment. He had dated dozens of women in his lifetime but this was the first time he was actually picking up a woman to go on a date. Then, he didn't have the time to pamper anyone so his ex-lovers usually found their way to the venue. The most generous Alex had done was to get someone to pick them up and bring them to the venue.But with Arianna, everything was different. He had no idea why but he wanted to impress her and that was why he was trying to make tonight perfect by all means.Alex chuckled, wondering what the hell was going on with him. He had never had the need to please a woman. But for Arianna's sake, he knew he would do anything just
Arianna had expected the ride to the venue to be awkward but it turned out to be the opposite. Alexander was quite a good conversationalist. He kept her involved in random conversations and to her surprise, he made her laugh a couple of times. She got to know that he was quite a funny person. It was so hard to believe that Alexander Clay had this cool side. A side no one ever saw.Arianna watched as Alex pulled up into a quiet but beautiful estate. After a few minutes' drive, the car came to a stop in front of a not-so-big bungalow house."I own many properties across the state and this is one of the smallest but also one of my favorite places. I hope you like it here." Alex said as he unbuckled his seat belt.
Seeing that she was almost out of breath, Alex teased her lower lip for a couple of seconds before reluctantly pulling away from the kiss. He then began to trace kisses around her earlobe down to her neck, trying to locate her soft spot."Alexxxxx" Ari unconsciously let out a soft moan the moment Alex sucked on her weak spot which was just a little below her earlobe."Your skin is so soft, I could pleasure them all day." He whispered, his breath fanning against her skin.Ari's lips parted as she silently enjoyed the pleasure Alexander Clay was giving her. She could feel her lower region getting moist as a result of what he was doing to her. Remember
