Jenna mulled over her options, not comfortable with the idea of seeing Casper again for now, especially after that night and what just happened in the office. Also, what she was going to discuss with him wasn't work-related so, she wouldn't be queried. Since Peggy was already waiting for her at the reception Casper could wait. That was his punishment for videoing their intimate act without her consent. She took the elevator and went down to the reception area. Peggy wasn't alone. She was accompanied by a hunky man with a gush appearance. A glance at him and Jenna discerned that he must have been beaten by a mob or something, due to the bruises covering the exposed areas of his body. Peggy ran to embrace her. "Jenna, why is your security so tight? They won't even let me upstairs," Peggy complained after breaking from the hug. The security matters at the Blade Towers were out of Jenna's domain. "I'm sorry Peggy, only staff are allowed upstairs unless you have a business appointment
Armando wasn't a fool. Indeed, he was there for revenge but after meeting Casper face to face, he wouldn't dare. Casper was nothing like he saw in the video and wouldn't dare to fight the Lion in his den with just a few bodyguards. The Casper he was seeing now was even more fierce, covering himself with darkness. Swiftly, he changed his main objective today, into business. As for his revenge, it wasn't what Casper expected. Now that he had seen him, he would set a trap for him, where he would die like a cockroach. For now, he just had to act up and wait for the right opportunity."Revenge? That's ridiculous, Mr Blade. I'm not as foolish as my brother. I'm here for business." Casper’s gaze was intense and even though he did not believe Armando, he didn't let it show. He carried himself with exceptional grace. "Alright then. Have a seat." Casper stretched his slender fingers to the chair in front of him. Without his glasses, his eyes looked like they were going to slash Armando at any
"Your friend, is it Kate?" Casper was deliberately trying to ignore Jenna's question while he sought confirmation for something else. Unfortunately, it only made Jenna even more suspicious because, over time, she kept thinking of the most suitable punishment for offenses like what Max did. "No, but you didn't answer my question. Where is Max?" Casper was relieved that it wasn't Kate which meant it was another friend. Now he wondered how many friends she had. Casper was only surrounded by family and didn't have any friends but Jenna had no family, except her friends. Her curious gaze didn't allow him to dodge the question like he wanted to. He just couldn't lie to her. "Dead." The indifference in his tone was scary. It was as if life and death meant nothing to him. "You killed him?" Jenna automatically shifted back slightly, as she thought about who Casper really was. What happened to the police and the law? Was he someone the police feared? The more she thought about it, the more h
It wasn't right but it felt good. He belonged to someone else but when they found themselves in this situation, it was clear that their passion burned like they belonged to each other. His lips were soft, his tongue diving into the corners of her mouth. She pressed her hand at the back of his head, deepening the kiss. Her whole being craved and accepted him. She didn't want him to stop and was ready to give him herself again when he suddenly recoiled and pulled away. Dissatisfaction, like a wave of cold breeze, froze her to the spot. He didn't want her. He didn't want to offend his arranged bride. It was well understood. Jenna's back against the wall dropped, her face fell. She must have seduced him with her outfit but he wasn't a fool. Casper's mind was clouded. He didn't know why he kissed her after that night. He wasn't someone who went back on his words. I'm sorry for doing that. I shouldn't have." He was right but why did her heart feel like it was going to tear? They weren't
Even Casper had seen through Hunter's emotions but didn't dwell on it. His only concern was Caleb. Why would he love someone else's woman? What kind of game was he playing? Peggy also didn’t seem to mind and kept smiling. Casper had been there for a while and seen all that had happened."Cathan, what is his result?" Casper asked, squashing the urge to throw so many questions at Caleb."Very good." Cathan wanted to burst with all the laughter bubbling inside of him. He knew that Caleb was messing with Hunter but couldn't find out the reason why he did that. It was also clear that Hunter loved Peggy but why did he only see her as a sister? He also wanted to know, which was the reason why he didn’t stop Caleb.Casper turned to Hunter, who was still looking red. "Will you be a shadow bodyguard?""Yes." Hunter smiled. Shadow bodyguard was more difficult than normal bodyguards because the person you are guarding doesn’t have to know but Hunter liked it because it would help him to keep an
The call connected on the first ring. From the anger emitted from Casper, Hunter was surprised by the calmness in his tone but when he realized what Casper was doing, he wanted to flee for his life. Casper was very tactical. "Mr Blade, is my request approved already?" Armando's voice sparked excitement as soon as he answered the call, which irritated Casper but he maintained the calmness. "It's still under investigation. As soon as its approved, a representative from our company will send you an invoice, and then you can proceed with the transfer of funds. Right after we confirm receipt of the transaction, the ammunition will be sent to you." "Oh, I wasn't patient enough to understand this the first time. So if it isn't about that, then why did you call?" Armando was curious. Someone like Casper wouldn’t call to just check on him."Since we are acquainted and you don't bear a grudge against me for what happened to your brother, I see you as a friend and need some security advise."
Eve couldn’t hold the pretense anymore. It would be better if she confessed. Casper didn’t look like he was joking. She thought he was just cold on the outside and would gradually warm up to her but it seemed that even his blood was made of ice. No, how did Jenna meet him? What did she do to capture his heart? Eve couldn’t accept that things were going to go down for her. "Why...why are you being so mean? You are always nice to Jenna so why are you treating me like this?" She faked tears in her eyes, her voice sounding remorseful. Men always took pity on a vulnerable woman, especially when she sheds tears. Sadly, these men had seen too much that there was no drop of pity in their veins towards her."Why shouldn't I treat you like a dog? You mean nothing to me." Eve shuddered at the icy air emitted with each word. This was her strength. She could fuck her way through every situation for as long as she was dealing with a man but this man wasn’t bending. He was too different."She can't
Jenna‘s eyes widened, her mouth parted as she descended from Casper’s comfortable lap and began to amble towards Eve. "What do you mean by that?" There was no amusement in her tone and she sounded as if she lost her soul.Eve pursed her lips, allowing her tears to freely fall. At a glance, she looked pitiful but no one could tell if she was faking it. "I couldn't manage the company like you so things weren't going well." "So?" Jenna had lost her patience. It was barely two months since she left so how could things have turned so bad? She couldn’t understand."I....." Eve sobbed."You what?" Jenna was already bursting with anger, she was just a few inches from getting physical."I sold the company and the mansion. We already signed the papers but the take over will be after the financial aspect has been settled,” Eve confessed.Jenna was broken. She lost everything. All her sacrifices were in vain. But Drake. Even if he betrayed her, did he also help Eve with this? The company was the
