“I swear to you Jane, he really did. It's so confusing, you know. One minute he's cool, the next minute, he's a pain in the ass”Jane stared at his picture again and bit her lower lip “he is very hot though” Angela rolled her eyes “That's really not the point” “Seriously Angie, what if he likes you? Rumor has it that he’s never been in a relationship” Angela burst into laughter “Yeah right. I bet he's so crazy about me, you know, that’s probably why he yells at me and embarrass me at any little chance he gets. By the way, I’m not surprised about him not ever having a relationship, who would date a guy like that? His manners are disgusting”“He took you to his HOUSE! Don’t you get it? This guy never brings anybody to his house except his family, not even his close friends”Angela shrugged “he probably felt bad about what he said and wanted to make up for it”“I bet you, you would end up falling for him. It’ll be like those workplace romance” Jane said as she was already imagining i
The door to Tristan’s office opened and Ivy jumped up, pushed past the people that were coming out and marched straight to Tristan’s table. She slammed her bag on his table and pointed to me furiously. “I want her fired!” she yelled and Tristan raised a brow“Oh?”“Oh? Is that all you have to say, Tristan? This girl here was just rude to me. She insulted me”“Well, that doesn't sound unlikely. I know she's rude but I'm not so sure about the insult part. I did hear you screaming though, do you know you were being way too loud and disturbing my meeting?”Ivy pouted and crossed her arms, her loud voice suddenly becoming gentle “it's her fault. She was just giving me this wild attitude”Tristan turned to me “Miss Cameron, what happened?” I told him everything including the part about her threatening me “I don't know why I should be feeling unsafe at work because of your guests….” I deliberately let my voice break to sound as if I was about to cry and I could have sworn I saw a look of
The meeting ended an hour after midnight and Tristan and Angela were so exhausted. On their way back to the hotel, Tristan asked Angela if she would love to go grab a drink and she agreed. They went to their suite to get changed and Angela was surprised to see that there were some clothes for her on the bed with a note that read ‘hope you like it. Tristan’ She picked up the clothes and inspected them, there was a blue, glittery, strapless short dress with matching pair of boots and a gorgeous black jumpsuit. She wore the blue dress, applied some lipgloss and luckily for her, her hair still looked okay, she patted it and headed out. Tristan was waiting for her at the reception, when he looked up, his eyes sparkled and he gave a warm smile as he looked her over. It was the first time he smiled at her, he usually only smirks and he looked so handsome when he smiles.“Wow, you look stunning.”“Thanks. How did you know what size of clothes to get me?” she asked curiously and he smiled ag
She went downstairs and met Tristan in the lobby, he was on a call, he sounded very pissed and his face was red with anger“I need you to get rid of it NOW! What do you mean you can't do it now…? Do you love your job and do you want to KEEP your job…? Then I suggest you remove it right now! Don't tell me that shit!” Angela's phone began to ring again, she checked and saw it was Jane but just as she was about to answer it, Tristan spoke to her “Don't answer that!” She looked up at him confused “why?”“Trust me, you don't need to answer it” he screamed into his phone again “I don't have ten minutes to spare, I WANT IT DONE NOW!” Angela stared at her phone screen till it stopped ringing. She was about to put the phone back in her purse when it began to buzz consistently, notification after notification kept popping up and she was confused. She was about to unlock her phone to check it when Tristan spoke to her again “Don't check those” Now she was really confused, why would he tel
“Hello? I’m here…” she said and checked her phone again. The text said ‘I have information about what happened last night. Meet me by the docks’ Even though she had a bad feeling about the whole thing, she decided to go anyway. She suddenly heard the clicking of heels behind her and turned. She gasped and growled when she saw who it was “Ivy?” “Yep, it’s me,” Ivy said as she sashayed over to her “surprised to see me?” “After what you did? I’m surprised you still have the guts to show your face to me” Ivy smirked “so you figured out it’s me. You’re smart, but not smart enough”“What do you want?”“To make you suffer”“Why? What did I ever do to you?” Ivy scoffed “so you don’t know?”“Why does everybody keeps saying this? Of course, I don’t know. If I knew, I wouldn’t be asking”“Tristan likes you!”Her eyes widened at the statement and she burst into laughter “no he doesn't”“Yes, he does. Don’t think I don’t know about the way he looks at you, he has never looked at me like no ma
“Welcome to my house again Miss Cameron”“Thank you, sir,” she said with a smile “Eric will show you to your room. Eric?” he signalled for the butler she met the other day. He came to help me with her bags and led her upstairs “This way Miss” Eric said as he led her up the stairs and to the room. She gasped in awe as she stared at the room, it was so enormous with a queen-sized bed with lots of pillows and the softest looking silk bedsheet in the centre of the room, there was a study table with a laptop on it and a chair in a corner, three beautiful lamps, a silver chandelier, silver curtains to cover the two huge windows.“Thank you, Eric”“You’re welcome, miss. Dinner is in two hours”“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind”He left and Angela crashed on the soft bed, the bed sunk with her in it as she closed her eyes while allowing the previous day's event to play in her head.**********“Are you gonna be okay?” Jane asked with a concerned look on her face. She had grown worried for her fr
Tristan sat with her under the gazebo in his garden and they started talking. She wasn't facing him directly, she just wrapped her arms around herself and looked away from him.“So, tell me about yourself miss Cameron”“Don't you already know everything about me?” she answered sarcastically. Tristan chuckled lightly and replied“I'm willing to know more”Angela sighed before responding “I didn't go to college”“I know” “And you already know why I didn't go to college” she said ruefully“What I really wanna know is things you don't tell anyone. Private things”“So you can use it to blackmail me again?” she replied bitterly and in that moment, he regretted his previous actions. He really wanted her to work for him but there were other ways he could have gone about it. He wondered if she'll ever trust him after that “I was desperate” he started as he raked his fingers through his hair “To get revenge?” “No! Not to get revenge…”“That's what you said”He knew he'll have to tell her so
She took one more look at herself in the mirror, she didn’t feel like herself tonight. It’s been one hell of a week for her and it’s starting to take it’s toll on her. She glumly made her way to the dining table where Tristan was already sitting and she let her mind wander.__________Ivy has re-emerged and has been threatening her mercilessly lately. She first bumped into her one evening when she went to get something. It was raining lightly and Tristan offered to send his driver to take her but she refused.She was all too aware of a black Porsche parked opposite the office. It started moving slowly when she came out of the office. She held her umbrella tightly and hastened her steps and so did the Porsche. Just when she considered running, the back window rolled down and she saw Ivy's beautiful face. She had on a pair of very dark sunglasses as usual “Hello Angela!” she said with an unusually calm tone as she stepped out with an umbrella Angela slowly backed away as Ivy walked t
