The building was a huge one with amazing interior and exterior decor.The office buzzed with employees going about their daily activities.Others were seated with their eyes fixed on their laptop.Suddenly they felt a cold chill and they knew instantly that their Boss was in the building."Good morning Mr Xavier." They greeted but he ignored them as usual.He walked briskly to his office and his secretary trailed behind him.He got to his office and he sat and his eyes went up to his secretary and she quickly bowed.Xavier sighed wondering why she was avoiding eye contact."What's on the schedule for today?" He asked.Amber instantly checked the tab she was holding."You have a meeting now Sir." She said softly.Xavier stood up, buttoned his suit and left, with Amber trailing behind him.***Meeting Hall...At table could be seen at the middle of some men, who were dressed in black tuxedo's adorned with black Italian shoes. Bottle waters and laptop were placed on the table. A projecto
Amber was busy working on her laptop, but she could feel Xavier's eyes on her, but she tried to ignore it despite the fact that it made her feel uncomfortable."Why the hell is he staring at me!!" She mentally screamed.Meanwhile, no matter how hard Xavier tried to keep his eyes away, he just can't stop staring at her, her beauty was mesmerizing and the way she worked on her laptop, every single thing she does entice him greatly. If only he knew how uncomfortable he was making her feel, then he would stop staring at her.Amber shut her eyes briefly and she heaved a deep breath, she just can't continue letting him stare at her like that.She turned to face him, putting on a small smile. "Do you need anything Sir?" She asked, jolting Xavier out of his thoughts."No, I don't." Xavier cleared his throat loudly. "I'm sorry." He apologized, knowing she must have noticed him staring at her."It's alright Sir." Amber lied, nothing was in fact all right, all she wanted to do was get the hell o
When Xavier got to the office, he couldn't find Amber there.He walked to his table thinking she might have gone to use the rest room or something, but he was surprised to see a note on his table. He picked it up and opened it.It was a note from Amber."I'm so sorry Sir, something urgent came up and I had to leave early, you were in a meeting and I didn't want to bother you, I'm deeply sorry Sir."Xavier dropped the note, then he took a sit. A deep frown appeared on his face as he wondered what could possibly have happened.Meanwhile, Amber rushed back home the moment she got a call from Sophia informing her that Elena was running a temperature."Elena!" Amber called as she ran inside, breathing heavily."Elena. Sophia!""Upstairs." Sophia yelled.Amber ran upstairs to the kids room, when she got in, she met the Jenna and Jaden sitting at each side of Elena, while Sophia sat on a chair watching them."What happened?" She asked as she went to join them on the bed.She used her palm to
The car pulled up in front of Xavier's mansion and he got down, he took a deep breath as he stood outside staring at the mansion, he's been avoiding his parents for sometime now and that's been making him stay at the hotel instead of his home, but how long will he run.He took in a deep breath before going inside, knowing his mother is bound to bombard him with different questions.When Xavier got in, he heard loud chattering and laughter, he went to living room and saw his mother and father talking to young beautiful lady.Xavier furrowed his brow as he wondered who the lady was.His mother caught sight of him and she smiled. "Speak of the devil and he shall appear." She laughed.Xavier literally scoffed when he heard that.His mother stood up and went to meet him. "So. Are you done running?" She asked. Xavier frowned."What do you mean?""Haven't you been avoiding us? Isn't that the reason you haven't been coming home, rather you've been staying at the hotel.""How did..." Xavier tr
"Get out of my room this instant!" He snapped but Jessica didn't look like she was going to do that."Xavier, why are you doing this?" She asked and tried to touch him again but he refused and moved back."If you like yourself and wouldn't want to turn into an object of mockery, get the hell out of this room. Don't let me take action on you." He snapped.A seductive smile appeared on her lips. She was really taking his words for a joke and it was driving him insane. If only this lady knew what he could do to her. If only she knew that Just a flick of his finger and everything would be over for her.Jessica wasn't ready to back down or relent on what she wanted. She knew how fucking rich this guy standing before her was and losing him would be like losing a prized possession; something worth more than gold and she wasn't cut out for that."I'd like to see the kind of action you'd take on me, Xavier. Come on, you aren't supposed to act this way. It's making you look like a kid."Xavier'
"Stop panicking, Amber. I'm sure he isn't going to reason that far." Sophia told Amber when she complained about Xavier hearing when Jenna called her mum."Sophia, you do not understand. I'm sure he heard her correctly and that's why I'm worried. I don't want him to find out about these children." Amber exhaled, trying to calm herself down."I'm sure he isn't going to ask about it. And if eventually he does, you could tell him that it's your neighbor's child or something like that." Sophia suggested.Amber reasoned the idea and realized it was a good one. "You're right, Sophia. That's exactly what I'm going to do," She said."Good. Now calm down before you end up giving yourself a heart attack." Sophia joked and Amber laughed."Yes, you're right," She sighed. She thanked God that Sophia came up with that great idea, else what could she have told him if he had asked about the children. She couldn't even imagine how she would feel if everything eventually leaked. That would mean an end
"What do you mean Sir? You can't possibly be serious or are you?" Amber asked.Xavier shrugged. "I love kids a lot and I'll love to meet them and besides, we're also going to the orphanage to visit some kids aren't we?"Amber felt like the ground should just open up so she can crawl into it, she scratched the back of her head nervously, trying to come up with the perfect lie. She couldn't tell what demon possessed Xavier and made him want to see her kids. God forbid! This can't happen."Amber." Xavier called, pulling her out of her thoughts."Err...you can't see them Sir.""Why not?""School!!" She half yelled, startling Xavier."I'm sorry...what I meant to say is, they'll be at school so you can't meet them.""I have no problem with that, it's not like they're going to stay there forever right." He chuckled. "We can pick them up together and I can use that opportunity to see them."Amber was already wishing she was a witch with powers, how wonderful it would be to make Xavier forget
When Amber went back to the office, she couldn't find Xavier there, she frowned as she wondered where he could have gone to, but on a second thought, she thought of it to be a good thing, at least she'll get some breathing space and a nice fresh air.She smiled as she walked back to her sit, she began working on her laptop and a mail suddenly came in. She squinted her eyes as she checked the mail.It was a mail for Xavier, a business partner was inviting him to his company's 50th anniversary."Well, he's really got a long day." She said as she closed the mail and continued with what she was doing.Xavier suddenly walked in and he stood still for a while watching Amber, she looks so beautiful as she worked on her laptop. He studied her carefully, the way she handled things and he admired every single bit of it, he didn't even know when a smile appeared on his lips.Amber suddenly took notice of his presence and she looked up at him, she frowned when she saw the way he was looking at he
