Sophie

I was getting really worried. Lisa hasn’t sent the reports and Alexander hasn’t said anything yet.

Did we lose that one?

I paced around the room, contemplating whether to call him again. I’ve called him twice and to me, unless it’s a life threatening situation I can’t dial your fucking number thrice.

I groaned and frowned at the idea that suddenly came in my head.

Shit.

Celine isn’t going to like this and neither do I but it’s not the first time and it won’t be the last… forgive me.

Without disappointing me, a knock came on my door in a few minutes.

I was already dressed in a simple T-shirt and Joggers. I also had my hoodie because it seemed cold outside.

I got to the door and ushered him in.

“Barely 24 hours of us making up and you’re already calling in favors?”

“Please.”

“No, please,” Albert said. “Are you sure this isn’t why you agreed to meet up?”

“Can you not be a dick about this?” I asked. “You know how important work is.”

“Yeah.. and that’s why Celine agreed to g

  • The Wrong Brother’s Obsession    Chapter 38

    SophieI’m still trying to wrap my hands around everything that happened earlier. I let out a small sigh, walking past Celine who had the apron tied to her back as she made our usual five-star meal. “You just have to hear me out,” I scoffed. “I hate the nerves of that man.”“You’ve said that thrice in one minute.” Turning some oil into the frying pan, she turned to look at me. “Can you quickly get me that, though?”It was a bowl and how did it get so far from the kitchen? I stood up, reaching to get it while thinking of the next sentence to use to explain my grievances. Alexander is the biggest dickhead that I’ve ever met. Unfortunately, he has the biggest dick I’ve ever felt, and my body remembers that all too well. I think I’ve caught him staring at my ass on a few different occasions, but then he acts like an even bigger asshole, making me think I imagined the whole thing.“So you think he’s just playing games with you?”“And I’m not going to fall for that shit.”“But you fell

    AlexanderI know for a fact that I’m not going to be able to hold on anymore. I scoffed, grabbing my suit jacket from the table. It’s been four hours since the close of work but I guess I’m going to be spending more nights than I’d like here. Just as I was about to leave, my phone buzzed and when I checked it out, it was Malik’s text.MALIK: I just found out the dinner is in two days. What???Oh, about that.It was the final decision we came up with—switching the date for the event just so we can announce the merger publicly. I was supposed to call him, fill him in but I completely forgot about it since all I’ve been doing is to stare at the numerous emails and also—at that one email from long.It’s been a while since I had my c sucked and I hate to say it but I don’t feel incomplete about that.I’d usually begin to have mood swings, but the only moodswing I’m having now is because my brother, who I’m one year older than, is causing a scene about stepping down as COO. Just as I t

  • The Wrong Brother’s Obsession    Chapter 36

    Sophie I know I’m supposed to meet my uncle, but instead I find myself standing across from his wife, Elsie.“You don’t have to pretend you’re not hungry,” she teased. “You know I always have a meal made.”As she said that, she reached to remove the white apron she had on when I first walked in.The whole area had a great scent; thanks to her exclusive cooking skills. “I know that,” I smiled. As she turned, I followed. “I’ll help with what I can.”Although she’s been married to Uncle Peter for over 30 years, we’ve not exactly shared a lot of time together. Her children were always overseas and it was such a chore to come around, but whenever Uncle Peter requested to see me, I found myself running here. I was feeling slightly awkward standing in their kitchen like an alien but I’d rather help here than sit there alone. “How long is he uh— is he going to take?”“Just a few more minutes,” she said. “Let’s go over to the dining room.”A moment of silence followed. Elsie is such a lov

    Sophie Beatrice gave me a tour of the rooftop pool, the Sky Bar, the work pods and every angle that people would refer to as the “chill zone” here in WeillTech. I can’t even lie or deny the fact that this place is unbelievably luxurious. Clearly no expense has been spared at WeillTech. She doesn’t slow down as we walk, heels clicking confidently against the marble floors. “Where’s Alexander?” I blurted out.Shouldn’t he be around here? This is like the third floor and there’s been no sigh of him. “He’s in a meeting with Derrick and his mother but they should be finished any minute.”Oh.Katherine Weillman. My stomach twisted at the sound of her name. She’s worse than her child and the few times we’ve met, she was nothing but cold. She really did think I was a nobody and—“We operate in places that don’t like attention…and I’m guessing you’d flourish here cause you seem like you hate the attention.”Damn, is it really written on my face? I forced a smile and looked to my left.

    SophieGlad this was about to be over, I reached for my iPad on the table. He turned, looking at everyone in what seemed like a final moment. “Any questions?”My team all shook their heads.“Very well, you’re excused.” But then he turned to me. “Except you, Ms. Kellerman. I’d like a word.”My eyes narrowed. “Of course.” When everyone walked out through the room, he used his finger to scratch his beard gently, “Shut the door, Sophie.” “Why?” I asked him. “Alexander, I have a press release to write. I don’t have time to stroke your ego.” “Shut. The. Goddamn. Door,” he growled.This must better be worth it. I rolled my eyes as I push it shut.“There. What?”“You’ve got to stop acting like you hate me in public,” he said stepping closer. He stopped right before he could come any closer but I just stood there looking at him. “I don’t hate you,” I told him calmly. “I just can’t stand your mistress.”He chuckled lightly. In just four seconds I’ve noticed five significant things that

    Alexander It’s already annoying that she isn’t here yet. I’ve spent the past seven minutes reading, actually staring at the files on my table. The meeting is in about three minutes and she’s meant to be here. Her personal assistant is but she’s not and it just makes me wonder… was last night such a moment that she’d really miss work?I groaned as I adjusted myself beneath the mahogany table. In all my thirty seven years, I’ve never met a woman who can push my buttons like Sophie can. She’s a raving bitch more often than not, but just the thought of her makes me hard. The woman loathes me, no doubt, but I obviously have the same effect on her. She wants me, whether she likes it or not. I’m not sure if she even realizes it, but her lips part anytime she looks at me like she’s thinking about kissing me. It took a moment for me to realize it but I think I know what she saw. It could be the messages sent… I had forgotten to archive them after delivering but that’s okay, I can always
