Chapter four

Noah West

His eyes opened with a start as he tried standing up.

He could still feel his whole body aching, his eyes still felt dizzy.

He was at the hospital.

Smells of disinfectants, missed with the familiar hospital scent, reached my nostrils, making me want to throw up.

He walked to the receptionist who fed me on everything else that happened when he passed out.

He was brought by a passerby who saw when it happened.

He heaved a sigh.

“I want to be discharged right now, could that be possible?”he asked the receptionist who looked at him surprised.

" You want to be discharged? you got a stitch just last night and was placed on an IV.going home now without steady information about your health could be risky, I'm not sure the hospital would take ownership if anything goes wrong''she said explaining to me.

I'm yet to talk to Kayla and one thing I know is for sure if I wasted even a day,other men would already be there seeking for a thing.

Fuck

I definitely can't bear that.

“No I don't mind, I'm going to be just fine" I reassured the lady.

" If you away so mister”she concluded by bringing out files for me to sign.

I could make it there if I was given three hours.

Kayla Moreno

The shine shot brightly, affecting my eyes as I turned round on the queen sized bed.

In between my legs are hurting and aching..

I slowly opened my eyes, trying to recognize where I was.

The bedsheets scattered.

Instant cold brushed my back, that's when I realized I was naked.

I quickly wrapped a bedsheet around me.

My cheeks are flushing red. From yesterday's deed.

My eyes searched for the guy.

Sadly he was gone..

Not a single trace of him.

What was I expecting,he had his job to do…and it was Dawn already..

My phone buzzed from the bed, frantically searching for it,I found it.

It was my PA.

“You've got a meeting with the Brooks company miss Moreno…please hurry up”she sounded busy.

Like it was urgent, my mails none had was concerning the Brooks company as of yesterday, out of the blues?

“Get my dress ready and send it to the hotel"

The silence at the other end.

I knew what it was. 

Riley was about to…

“Don't tell me you ain't ready for this meeting miss Moreno!!”

Oh God!.

“Send what I asked you Riley, I'd be done by 9.

“Nine??, it's 10:30am and the meeting is by 11"disbelief in her voice.

What the heck.

I've never slept this far into the day before. 

I ended the call immediately.

Limping to the bathroom.

Author's POV

Kayla Moreno walked briskly into the company,her assistant at her side filling her in on every detail she could find on her schedule for the day.

Employers greeted as she waved at them, smiling radiantly.

“You look extremely stunning today, Miss Moreno, did the night do the trick?"Riley, her assistant, teased as Kayla glared at her.

“Work remains work mrs Riley, and I would appreciate if you would stick around to it”

Riley grinned as she looked Kayla over.

" I'm sure something steamy happened, you can't even hide your blush”Riley muttered under her breath entering the meeting venue.

Noah West came just in time before Kayla would enter the meeting venue,he smiled when he saw her interacting with her assistant.

“She's one free soul,”he said before going over.

A few metres away from her,he bumped into someone.

“i’m so sorry”the girl apologized.

" Nah it's alright”his eyes were still on Kayla before she entered the hall.

He looked down on his shirt,it was stained with coffee spills.

His eyes fell on the girl, she was in a ponytail.

Her black hair falling on her back.

She picked up the cup of coffee that fell down and turned to him, still remorseful.

“I'm really sorry, please let me pay for this’’

She smiled.

“Not necessary though, I would wash it off I don't mind,if you insist though”Noah smiled.

Kayla Moreno

I looked at everyone smiling.

They all looked familiar, I've made contracts with each one of them but one person's aura was so dominating that I could feel it too.

This face??.

I haven't seen him before.

I looked at Riley for a heads-up when I couldn't remember.

“Oh,,I forgot to tell you that the CEO of the Brooks company would be present with us.i don't know if you knew this but he's a very close friend to your husband Mr Jaden silver”

Ohh…

That's where I've seen him,at one event I attended with Jaden…he introduced him to me as his childhood friend…you guess I've seen him a few more times at some point in the garden I tagged along with Jaden..

Jaden never introduced him to me as the CEO of Brooks..

He's the only heir to the family.

But his aura was somewhat familiar.

“You're sure I haven't seen him somewhere else?" 

I asked Riley.

" Well, I don't know”she shrugged her shoulders as he came closer to us.

It was a few minutes to the meeting.

“You've got this alluring aura that people talk about Mrs silver, quite impressive,I don't know if Jaden has told you much,my name is Ryder Brooks…CEO of the Brooks company head Branch.. it's nice to meet you once again.

That voice….. I don't know.

“It's Miss Moreno mister Brooks, I'd rather you address me that way henceforth…thanks for the compliment.. you're not quite bad too.i’d love to work hand in hand with.hope this alliance goes on well”i told him, his eyes flickered, cold.

Still he gave out a forced smile, letting out a laugh that gave me chills.

What's going on Kayla?

“Of course, Miss Moreno" he teased, going back to his seat,hands on. Hands on his pocket.

I couldn't help but notice his broad shoulders.

I was brought back to reality when someone started talking on stage.

“Good morning everyone, I am the personal assistant to mister Brooks Liam Wilder, let's get this started with”

*.                  *.                 *.      

“Thanks, buying a new shirt wasn't necessary though, believe me”Noah said as he and the girl came out of the mall.

“It was, thanks for making me pay you the right way,my name is Liana Moreno and you are?”

Noah looked her over once more.

" You're the second daughter of the Moreno family?damn you both got good manners”

Liana laughed as she arranged her teddy bag.

“You know my sister?" She asked tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

" Who doesn't know Kayla Moreno.. anyways nice to meet you Liana I'm Noah West”

" Noah West?son of the conglomerate with the blues and West LTD? you've got to be kidding me”she said smiling.

" Why don't we go out on a date some other time" she blurted out as Noah looked at her attitude and her audacity surprised.

LATER THAT DAY.

BROOKS COMPANY.

Ryder Brooks

I looked at my watch for the umpteenth time impatiently as liam raised his nose at me pissed off.

“I can see you very clearly Liam,I hate backstabbing, tell me to my face”I raised her head to look at him.

" What do you think you're up to?”Liam asked, standing in front of me directly across my table.

“You've got the guts Liam, to seek after my personal life”I raised my brows,my voice still never changed.

" One has to have some guts to talk to the CEO of this company and I don't mind being the one, you know Mister Brooks you have just more than enough work, business trips and even contracts you have to deal with and you took up this one too?why did you accept it??”he said almost raising his voice before realizing at the end of the sentence.

“Cancel them all, reschedule all my schedule.. I must do it,,I have to “

I really have to.

“Whatever suits you Mister Brooks" “Liam mocked as I sipped my cup of coffee.

*’.                  *.                 *

Night came so fast, I found myself hastening up to the hotel, like it was home, like I had someone waiting for me.

Jaden hasn't called ever since I gave him those papers I have to call to tell to sign it fast enough,I want the procedures moving fast.

I sat at the hotel bed, looking at the wall clock silently waiting for him.my call boy.

The door closed behind me but I didn't turn around,it was 10:45pm.

“You came later than usual..,must have been busy with other women”I turned my back to stare at him..

This time his black hair looked sexier than the other night.

He smiled,planting slow kisses on my neck slowly.

“You left without even saying anything this morning”I told him, closing my eyes to savour the moment.

"did you miss me that much? that you couldn't stop thinking about me? his masculine voice sending butterflies to my belly.

“Who are you?”

Curiosity was getting the better part of me.

How the fuck is he Soo good at this that has me yearning for more.

“You finally asked, it's Rick…my name is Rick”he mouthed as he. Slide two hands inside me.

Damn.

I mouthed.

This would be one hell of a night.

“I don't like this Rick, I hate it"

“You yearn for me badly”he said,my eyes rolled to the back.

I was aching for more.

“I do, for some fucking reasons" he grinned again.

" I'mma fuck you how hard and crazy you want it" he said increasing his pace.

Ahhh fuck.
