Maria POV
It was just 6: 30 am in the morning , and my phone kept on buzzing and i swore it was Emma trying to run my battery down, but when i picked it up it wasn't Emma calling, so i answered and i heard a woman's voice an elderly voice for that matter.
"I'm I on to Miss Lopez?" she asked
"Yes ma'am" I answered
"Congratulations, You have been shortlisted for the job in Ramirez Group of Companies and you'll be required to be in the building before 10 am for your interview with the CEO " she said
"Thank you so much, I'll be there" I told her before she ended the call.
I quickly jumped off from the bed, headed for the bathroom. Brushed my teeth and took a shower, I was too elated i forgot breakfast.
I had to look professional, so I searched my wardrobe for a dress, after much ransacking I finally found a chiffon top Emma bought for me on my last birthday, and got a black leather skirt with flat shoes. I packed my hair up in a pony tail, applied a lip gloss and i was good too go.
After 30minutes, I got to the building "wow, this building is massibve and beautiful" i thought and i couldn't wait to go inside. I checked my wrist watch for the time and it was already 9: 15am, so I strolled into the building and i saw people seated at the reception, and i believe they where also shortlisted for the same interview i was shortlisted for. I spotted an empty chair just beside a young man which i know will be in his mid thirties, and then I went and sat down beside him.
"Good morning" he greeted with a smile
"Good morning" i replied "Are yopu also here for the interview?" i asked
"Yes i am" he replied.
We chatted for a while, and all of a sudden i noticed staffs who where in pairs of threes, fours and so on scurry of to their desks and i wondered what could be the cause of the splitting , not until i saw the handsome devil walking into the building, accompanied by a man carrying a briefcase which i believed belonged to that jerk.
"Urghhh" i grunted lightly and the man beside me heard me and gave me a are you okay kinda look and i just smiled in response. can this man just stop showing up at important places, somehow he just ruins it for me .
30 minutes later
The receptionist came forward and started calling in the applicants one after the other, and each lady that came out after the interview each left crying or frowning. I couldn't help but wonder what they had gone through in there and I prayed mine will be different , while waiting i drifted off to wonderland.
"Javier"... I whispered against his lips not realizing when he had leaned into each other.
Javier's arms coming around to hold me closer to his chest as I wound my hand through his silky hair. He wasn't holding back at all. He held unto me like I was the air he breathes.
Javier picked me up from the floor by my waist and I wrapped my legs around his waist for support all the while never breaking the kiss. Soon I felt him fall forward, with my back touching the sheets, he kept his weight off me and as I released my legs, Javier broke the kiss, letting me come up for air. He stood at the foot of the bed and as I watched he unlatched his belt at his waist and let his pants fall to the floor with a swoosh sound. My eyes widened as I took in his form. He was magnificent just as I thought he'd be. Built like a sculpture of a Greek god, he had all the right proportions, all the right muscles to make any woman fall in love with his body. His skin was flawless without a single flaw or scar and I only realized that I had gotten up on the bed when I felt the silky softness of his skin under my palms."You're perfect". I whispered in awe, as I traced my fingers down his chest and his taunt abdomen.
I felt him take a deep breath as my hands lowered and I stopped midway down his abdomen when I realized that Javier was standing gloriously naked in front of me. I removed my hands from his body immediately I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment.
"Miss Lopez, Miss Lopez"... I felt a light tap on my shoulders and then I opened my eyes.
"it is a dream" I thought
"It's your turn, the boss will see you now, the first door on your left when you get to the 6th floor." the lady at the reception said.
"Thank you" I said as i walked to the stairs
When i got to the sixth floor i walked to the door as directed by the receptionist, i wasn't sure if i should knock or open the door. Courtesy demands that i knock first , so i knocked lightly on the door but there was no response , i knocked again, but still came no response so i gently opened the door and walked in.
He was sitting on his huge revolving chair with his legs popped up on the desk. He was leaning back on his chair with his eyes closed and hair dishevelled. He looked like he was drained. Yeah right! What do you expect from an arrogant brute. Seeing him walk into the building , and the way his staffs where scurrying around when he came in, i didn't need a soothsayer to tell me he runs the company.
He opened his eyes as soon as I walked in and before he could utter a word, i spoke.
"Good morning Sir" I greeted.
"We meet again Ms Lopez" he said with a grin
Judging by the way his lips tilted at the corner into that oh_so_wretchedly_handsome smirk, i knew my face had paled considerably. He quickly gathered some files on his desk and handed them over tome and said "i need these files before 8am tomorrow morning"
I was confused , "I don't understand Sir" i asked with confusion written all over my face. And I'm sure he enjoyed what he was doing because he didn't stop grinning.
"Get to work" was the only thing he said.
The only thing that played in my mind was that i'd gotten the job, but working with this brute would be like a jail sentence.

PLEASE KINDLYCOMMENT,VOTE AND SHARE❤️❤️❤️Maria's POVIts been 2 weeks since i started working at the company, and I must say it has been awesome with a lot of buts. I hardly had time for myself or my friend. Speaking of Emma, she was already complaining on how i had forgotten her, and i don't call anymore, and i totally understood. Work was so demanding. I wake up by 8am everyday, get toI'm work before 9am, work till 7pm, and whenever i get back I'm usually very tired and i have to prepare for work the next day.

The bus finally arrived but it as full of people so I had t
Maria's POVAfter I left Mr Ramirez office I headed over to my office and and grabbed my bag. I needed to get to my apartment and get some stuffs, since he said we'd be leaving for New York in the next few hours."He doesn't care about other people" I thought while trying to catch a bus. I got to my apartment within 30 minutes. As soon as I got in, o grabbed my traveling bag and started parking my things. "Oh, I needed to inform Emma about my trip, so she wouldn't be worried about me" I thought out loud. I picked up my phone and called her"Hey bitch" Emma shouted"Hahhahahahaha, bitch I missed you" I said"Missed you too, I'll be coming to spend the weekend at your place, what do you think?" She asked"That's why I'm calling babe, I'll be leaving for New York with my boss in the next few hours for a business meeting over the weekend and I
Maria's POVJavier showed me my room, and i got settled in. I was so tired, so i took a nap, when i got up i quickly had my shower and picked out a dress (a short body hug gown that showed off my curves). Javier had already told me to rest, before heading to his room which was just opposite mine.I walked to the dressing table and picked up my phone, that was when i realized i had missed calls, all from Javier, just when i was about to call back i heard a knock on my door. I rushed to quickly get a robe to cover up properly, but before i could get to the wardrobe Javier had already come in.He was shocked and his gaze didn't leave me, I felt like he was undressing me with his eyes, and before i knew it we met each other halfway, Javier's arms coming around me .
Maria POVIt was dark when I woke up, I tried to get family with my environment, then I remember what I'd done and with whom, Javier was no where around.I blushed when I remembered every thing we did last night.The next morningWe had the meeting, some top staffs from Franco enterprises came and it didn't take long before we finally came to a conclusion. We finally ended the meeting and exchanged handshakes, as the deal was finally done and sealed.During the meeting I tried to avoid the glance Javier was throwing in my direction. Each time I looked at him, I could only think of the activities of last night and that made my cheeks redden a bit. He was literally undressing me with his eyes.After the meeting, I started gathering the files on the table, when I noticed Javier coming towards my direction with a smirk on his face, and I knew he had something up his sleeves.He came behind m

So Javier didn't have the decency to face me this morning by himself after everything we did together, anyways I didn't expect much from him a man whore.But I couldn't help but think why he slept with another girl, wasn't I good enough. Tears started rolling down my eyes, it was too late I had already fallen in love with Javier Ramirez and I was long gone.2 Hours laterMy bags were all packed and I was dressed
Maria's POVI got to the office earlier than usual, It was a Monday morning and I had to work on some of the files that would be used for the Franco deal, I hoped and prayed that I'll have little or no contact with Javier.While I was preparing the file, I got a call from Javier. Seeing his call sent shivers down my spine and I was just lost even while looking at my phone ring."He's still your boss" I thoughtI picked it up with shaky hands"Maria, John will be coming to the office to get me the Franco files because I won't be coming around at least for the next one month" he saidAnd the line went off."He won't be coming to work, why?" I kept wondering, was he also trying to avoid me.John came later in the day and I gave him the Franco files as Javier had requested. But I had to as k John the reason for Mr. Ramirez absence, but John wasn't able to give a good explanation so I bade him farewell a
Maria's POVIt was a Monday mourning and I needed to be at work. I still felt sick, woke up late and I had to rush so I could at least get to the office before 10am.By the time I got to the office, Javier was already in his office, and from what the receptionist Sarah told me he'd asked of me earlier. As soon as I dropped my bag I headed to his office. I wasn't ready to face him, but my job was on the line do I braced up and entered his office. Somehow i got angry and I was filled with a lot of confidence.I squared my shoulders to summon courage to face Javier but the second I saw his face, my determination and courage flew out of the window when images of what happened some months back flashed back to my mind.He raised his brow the moment he noticed my presence. "So you now co
Maria's POVI woke up with a bad headache, and when I opened my eyes I realized I was in a hospital. Then I remembered the call I received before everything went blank.And then the tears started flowing all over again."I need to be strong" I told myself .I hoped my mum and dad will forgive me, that kept calling me to come visit at least once. I recalled my mum's pleas"Baby try and come home, your and I father have been worried sick about you" she said.I had failed too by getting pregnant without being married, that was against our faith. I couldn't control the tears, so I let it flow.I kept wondering who brought me here though, could it be Javier.I kept carrying until I slept off again.When I woke up I saw Javier seated beside me, he came closer the moment he realized I was awake. He looked like he'd been worried. I didn't want to deceive myself any further, so I kicked the tho
