Semua Bab BEYOND HER DREAMS {A Nigerian Romance} ✔️: Bab 11 - Bab 20

*Alex*   I was starting to rethink my decision of letting sola's friend into my office. What would she want to talk about? I shook my head in denial as I moved to call my secretary to stop Clara from coming up here. I was about to pick up the com when I heard the knock.I squeezed my eyes shut in frustration. Too late. I reluctantly moved to the door, and opened it, revealing the infamous Clara, who was always a constant topic of sola's conversations.   "Hello, Mr Williams." she said in a soft, seductive voice.  "Hi, miss...?"  "Clara. Clara Odeh.""I frankly do not have any idea why you're trespassing on my property, but I—"  "The least you can do, Mr Williams, is to let me in so you can hear me out?" she replied, cutting my sentence.I sighed and turned back in, g

*sola* I didn't realize how long I'd been sitting there, on the hard woody bench, with my bag gripped tightly in my hands until the door opened.   My mind felt numb, my head was still swimming from the nausea. I took in deep, fast breaths, but it still felt shallow. I rubbed my hands over my face, trying to make myself feel better, but everything proved useless and futile.  "Miss ojo?" The nurse called, snapping me out of my wild thoughts. "You can come in now."  I smiled in appreciation as I went into the small pharmacy, giving the previous customer space to walk out of the checkup room.   "Please sit." said the nurse. I obeyed. I had been having a terrible stomach bug, causing me to vomit almost all the time which was giving me problems at my new work place.  Two months after my separa

*Sola*  "Well?...what do you think of it?"  I opened my mouth in shock as I stared at the sleek car in front of me. It was a top-of-the-range BMW and it was parked outside the garages for me to examine.I turned back and stared at Mr Jimmy in shock.  "It's.. It's really beautiful.. But.."  "But nothing!" Mr Jimmy brightly prompted, smiling warmly at me. "You needed a car to transport your self, now you got one!"  "Mr Jimmy.. I surely can't accept this. It's too much..""Nonsense! It's not too much. You do a much important work around here, overseeing the resorts at the beach on Taqua Bay and the hotel here at Bode Thomas. I figured all that would be too much stress taking public transport all the time, so I decided to get you this gift as a relief, and as a way to thank you for your exceptional job over here. "

*Alex* "For such a soft, tiny hand... I must say you're a really good slapper, sugar" I said, chuckling. I quickly snapped out of my shock after Sola slapped me hard across my face.  I glared at her. Normally I didn't tolerate such insolent behavior from women, but Sola had always been an exception for everything since she crashed into my life.  "Don't call me that! And the next time you force your lips onto mine again.. I will give you a more harder slap than this!" She was panting loudly, her anger so strongly emitted."I don't mind being slapped by a beautiful woman, it adds to the excitement." I quipped, grinning widely at her angrily flushed face. She shook her head as if she could quite believe I was still standing in front of her."You're such a distasteful, vile man! Coming to this place and pretending like you've never met me in front of my

*Alex*  "Do you make a habit of keeping your clients late before you show up, sugar?" I said to Sola the moment she entered my limousine. It was Wednesday, Sola was a good 15 minutes late. I knew she did it deliberately.  I studied her chic outfit. She was wearing a bright orange strapless gown. The top of the gown exposed a bit of her cleavage and I scowled silently. She looked breathtaking and I didn't want men staring at her the way I was.  The gown was a bit too short, with a provocative slit on the left side, showing off her flawless skin. Her back was also bare and her make up was light and classy. God! She was so perfect."Good morning, Mr Williams." she said in a crisp, stern voice, managing to avoid eye contact with me. I smiled to myself. Today was going to be an interesting day.   "Good morning, Sugar." I replied, gr
