I woke up to the smell of antiseptics and drugs which was overwhelming. I scrunched my eyes at the bright light that was sipping through my closed eyelid. I slowly started blinking desperately, trying to open my eyes and see what was around me. Where am I? As the blinding light subsided, I slowly opened my eyes, squinting in an attempt to sharpen the blurred image before me.I glanced around and took in the deserted pristine blue and white colour schemed room.The room was silent apart from my heavy breathing and the beep sound coming from the IV monitor beside my bed. This was a hospital, and it didn't seem like any hospital room, it looked like a VIP ward, there was a flat screen tv and the room was well ventilatedI tried to figure out how I got here, and then it struck me, I was in the forest, and it seemed that I didn't die but I was saved from the feral wolf and I wondered who saved me.The door opened and the person I saw made my heart skip a beat. I don't know why I felt glad
I was surprised to hear her say it again. On my first day in the company, I was told that he doesn't allow anyone on his floor, and hearing this now made me want to find the reason I was going to be working on his floor."Is Cyrus in?" I asked."Yes, he is waiting for you," she replied." Okay, thanks" I walked towards Cyrus's office and Opened the door." Good morning." I greeted entering the office and closed the door." Oh, Riley, you are here, have a seat," he said gesturing to the chair opposite him " I am sure Cassie has told you the good news"" I am going to be working with the president," I asked sitting on the chair" Yes, why do I have a feeling that you don't want it"" No, I just find it strange". The truth was that I wanted to see the president, I was feeling kind of lonely when he left the hospital and didn't come back, and anytime I think about what happened at the hospital, my face turns red." There is nothing strange Riley, you are going to be working with the presi
VINCENTI stared at her plump pink lips which were swollen a little from the kiss. Her lips were parted after the kiss and she inhaled deeply while staring at me. I hated the fact that she always wore glasses to cover her eye colour.Being this close to her made the mate pull stronger, it ignited a fire in me and I wanted her more than ever. I never had thought that she would give in to the kiss, but it seems the mate bond was affecting her also.I was leaning in for another kiss and she closed her eyes anticipating it.The door flew open and Riley opened her eyes in shock, we both turned toward the door and saw Bronte standing at the door, he was staring like someone that had been caught in a headlight.I glared at him, annoyed that he always had the wrong timing.Riley squirmed in my arms trying to hide her face that was red and she looked cute when she blushed.I finally let her go and she took her bag before hurriedly leaving the office without sparing a glance at me."I am sorry
RILEYI sat in the cafeteria with Cassie, Mirabel and Victor, they were talking but I wasn't listening, my mind was clouded with the thoughts of the president.I had kissed him and it's strange that I even craved for more, I could still remember how his lips felt on mine.Bronte had seen us which made me embarrassed, I was caught kissing the president, and to think that I did not regret it, made me wonder why I felt that way, I felt some kind of pull when I am with him…."Down to earth Riley" Cassie was snapping at my face, and I noticed that I had spaced out again."I am sorry, what were you saying," I asked" We are going to the club that opened last week," Cassie said" When," I asked taking a spoon from the shrimp sauce and rice which we had ordered earlier, well as usual Cassie and I ordered the same thing" Friday night, well tomorrow is Friday so, yes, tomorrow night"" I went last week and they were a lot of hot guys there" Mirabel gushedSpeaking of hot, the image of the shir
Leaving the cafeteria, I went back to the office. I entered the office and saw Bronte and Cyrus with the president, they stopped whatever they were talking about when I entered the office, and I could feel their eyes on me.I got to my table and sat on my chair resuming my work."Riley " Cyrus was standing in front of my table, I didn't notice when he got here" Mr Cyrus" I smile at him"You don't usually call me that" he stated and I realized I was formal when I said his name."I didn't realise," I answered. Maybe I had called him that out of impulse, I was still concerned with what the girls had said about me." Are you okay?" he asked, " Yes, I've just been feeling out of the weather lately" I replied trying to act normal" Okay, after your work, come to my office, I have something for you," he said" Sure" I replied.He left the office and Bronte left a few minutes later.Was it really obvious that he could notice something was bothering me?I sighed and went back to work.It was
"No! You are getting it all wrong" Louis exclaimed looking at the mess I had created. "You are not supposed to put the egg now".I looked at the horrible looking cake batter "that explains why it looks so weird". I dipped my hand into the batter and licked it. I almost choked as I spat it out "it is really bad""Start again," he said "you wouldn't want to kill your president with this" I groaned, he was right, and this would be my third trial of getting to make a cup cake." Why don't you do it, this isn't my kind of thing, I can't make it" I complainedI had told Louis what Cyrus had said and he suggested I made cupcakes, according to him, he said girls did it a lot in movies except I can't bake.We had woken up early and we had been in the kitchen for two hours trying to make cupcakes.Well, apparently he was teaching me and I was a terrible student."Let's just stick with something simple" I slumped on the chair." Let's see what you can make," he said, rubbing his invincible bear
How did he hear that, I was sure no one was there. How am I going to explain this to him? Hell, I couldn't even face him.It was too embarrassing to even think about what I had said, I had only said it in the spur of the moment and it was just to rile them up, I didn't know the president had heard about it.I lowered my head trying to avoid his gaze, it was hard to escape this, not when I am trapped between him and the wall."Raise your head Riley" I heard his alluring deep voice, but I couldn't face him. My face had turned a bright shade of red, thinking that he heard everything I said."You said kissing me isn't shameless, then why can't you look at me, I haven't even touched you yet" he taunted."That isn't what I meant……" I raised my head to retort his comment, but that was a wrong move, his face was close to mine and I was staring into his red eyes, with his breath fanning over mine.I stared at him wide eyed as he rested both of his hands on the wall, beside me, trapping me betw
CYRUS"Mr Cyrus, I will be leaving now, Riley and I are going to the club," Cassie said" which club," I asked,"The new club that opened recently," she replied."Okay, have fun," I said, going back to signing the last file for the day."We will" She left the office and I yawned, feeling tired.I noticed a presence in the room and frowned."Yellow" I called out and Tanya came out from the wall."You always get me Blue," she said.Tanya is my elder sister, when we were young, we had a thing for colours, hence the name. It was actually Scarlet's idea for the name and we agreed on it.Tanya was called Yellow, I was called Blue, while we called Scarlet red, it's still funny how we were still stuck to the name." What are you doing here," I asked not happy with her visit, I have warned her not to visit me in the office, apparently, she and Vincent don't really get along since after the death of Scarlet"Come on now, is that how to welcome your big sister" She sat on my table crossing her s
