Damien!!” Camille shouted as she stormed into the building.“Mr. Damien is quite busy at the moment.” Adrian said as he tried stopping her.“I have to speak with him this instant!” she insisted.“I'm sorry, but my boss gave an order.”“I am also sorry because you will have to go against it.” she told him as she forced her way to his office.She did not bother to knock but barged all the way, her breath forcing it way out of her nostrils. Damien who was on a call, glanced at her direction, his expression unmoved. Then he dropped the call and gave her a stern look.“You abandoned me at the event.” she started.“Was I supposed to announce my departure?”“You could have done better, Damien. You definitely would not have done this with Aria.”Damien raised a brow.“I saw you too come out together. It is clear you both had something going on.”“Were you by any chance monitoring me?”
“You spent more than enough time there.” Nicholas said as Aria approached him.“Yeah, I had to retouch my make up.” she told him.Atleast, she was not lying this time because after kissing Damein, she found herself retracing her steps back to the restroom to reapply her lipstick.Nicholas forced out a smile just when he caught sight of Damien coming out from the same direction Aria had walked out from. He looked at Aria, her back facing Damien.“Have you had a taste of the cocktail?” Aria asked.“No-no, I haven't.”She pulled his arm. “Let's go try it.”“Yeah, let's go.” he said, following her reluctantly.***“Where have you been?”Camille asked when Damien reached her.“I had to go relieve myself.”“The exit is that way.” she said, pointing to the large double doors.She knew he was telling a lie because just when she had taken note of his disappearance along with that of Ari
“Damien–” Aria called as she gently pushed him away. “–we could get caught.”“I have missed you, Aria. Please let me take you home.” Damien said as he let go.Aria shook her head.“No. No. We shouldn't even be doing this.” she said, her voice shaking.“You want me, Aria. I know it. You miss me but you don't want to say it.”“I'm trying to protect myself. I am not cut out to be with you. It is dangerous, not when someone like Camille is involved.”Damien let out a sigh. “What Camille and I have is not real. We are under a contract, nothing else. It is only for the benefit of the company, but trust me I think about you every day.” he told her.“That makes no difference, you are still together.”“But I want to be with you, not her.” Damien pressed on. “Please come with me tonight.”Aria refused. “I am not the type of lady you can bend to your will. You always initiate a kiss without my
“Blackwood Enterprise is hosting a charity gala event. Its fiftieth event in years.” Damien Blackwood read from the newspaper with all pride.Adrian smiled.It was certainly a significant one his boss could not wait to attend.“Did you send an invitation to all the staff?” he asked Adrian.“Yes, sir.” his assistant answered.“Did you make it mandatory?”“Yes, sir.” he replied, even though it was weird to ask that.“Good.” the man said and dismissed him.When he was gone, he placed the newspaper on the desk and leaned back into his seat. In as much as he had to attend, he had to take Camille along. The mere thought of it bothered him because Aria would also be around and he did not want her to see him with any other person.What was he going to do? he thought as he brought his hand to his chin.He had made the invitation compulsory so that meant Aria was going to attend. All he needed was a way
After work for the night, Aria took the elevator down. As it counted down,her mind drifted back to the message she had seen. ‘Meet me at De Bar house. I need to tell you something’. The message had said. Aria let out a breath. She did not want to see him, she did not want to have any talk with him. She only wanted to get him out of her mind. Should she go or not? she contemplated. The message had sounded weird, not the type Damien would send to her. In fact he barely sent her messages, so why now? Was it important? Aria scoffed. “He obviously wants to make me feel more heartbroken and sad about his new relationship.” she told herself. However, she needed to put a stop to it. She had to make him see that their relationship was over and that he can no longer request to see her anytime he likes, unless it was on a business term since he was still clearly her boss. So to do that, she would meet him and make it clear to him, maybe after that he would have no way of contacti
Days passed and Isbella did not return to Lucas. At this point Lucas was already convinced that he was alone and if he did not rise back early enough, he would be totally doomed for real. With a sigh, sat up from his bed, strolling through his I*******m page for any trace of vacancy he can apply for since lots of companies were starting to use social media to their advantage. However, there was a serious problem which resulted from his actions leading up to being fired. The news had spread through the internet with the headline being: SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST GETS FIRED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT OF COMPANY'S FUNDS. This had been written with his picture boldly pasted at the front page. “That is already enough red flag.” Lucas whispered to himself as the phone fell from his hand, landing back on the bed. How was he going to get a job with such news revolving around him? While he was still in thought, his phone dinged. Jucas hurriedly picked it up, hoping a miracle was about to happen. But
Damien did not know what brought him to Aria's room. He just found himself there. She stood before him, her eyes shining in surprise at his intrusion.Damien was speechless, not that he did not know what to say, but because he was not sure if she would believe him if he said he came to see her.He
The next day, Aria was feeling happy. Although it was strange, she hoped it reflected her feelings properly. Before heading to her desk, she greeted her coworkers as she walked in. On getting to her desk, she could see a stack of documents on her table. She smiled, already knowing it belonged to
“What is it? You don't want me?” Damien asked when he noticed Aria did not want to enter the vehicle. Aria did not say anything. She was still contemplating on if she should or should not enter. “What is your answer going to be?” Damien asked again with a slight smirk. He was sure she had no oth
“Who the hell does he think he is?” Damien yelled in anger as he slammed the door behind him. He walked towards his office, pulling his tie as he walked while Adrian trotted behind him in a slow and calculated manner. He was aware of his boss' temper, and the only thing he could do was distance h
