I hurried to his condo unit, and I immediately knocked on the door when I got there. Jeff opened the door for me, and he greeted me with his usual smile.My eyes searched for Rexon, and my question was answered when he came out of his room fully dressed. He was carrying a hand carry bag and looked straight into my eyes.His unpleasant expression killed me. I gasped as he stepped closer to me, and without saying a word, he dropped the hand-carry bag at my feet.“Carry that to my car.” His voice was cold as ice.I just looked at him as he exited the condo. Jeff offered some help, but I strongly rejected him. Even though the weight of the bag was not a joke, I still tried to handle it. Like me, some of their assistants also carry their belongings.Skye’s personal assistant gave me a small smile before glancing down at what I was carrying. “Can you carry it?” she asked. There were only four of us in the elevator because Re

I COULD feel his tight grip on my neck. Even before I could protest, his lips were already touching mine.My eyes widened in surprise. My nerve was paralyzed by the kiss, and my spine shivered. Because of the odd sensation he gave me, I clenched my fists and tightly shut my eyes. His lips began to move, urging my mouth to open. His tongue unintentionally slipped into my mouth, controlling and overwhelming it.It felt as if he dragged me away to the cloud, and I had no idea how to return. Because of his strength, he quickly switched our positions while still holding my back and neck tightly.The kiss continued. I gasped heavily and felt his touch on my shoulders. I no longer knew how to go up. I was deeply hypnotized that even moving was hard for me.But even before I could respond to his kiss, he violently broke away from me. We both chased our breath as he stared at me.“You . . .” he said breathlessly.I pressed my lips and wai

Rexon was gone, but I still stayed where I was. What am I going to do here when my work is done?I was about to turn around to go back to the couch when the doorbell rang. I went back to the door and opened it.I rolled my eyes, thinking it was Rexon.“Hi!” Devon smiled broadly at me.I didn’t catch it right away because he looks different tonight. He’s not wearing his uniform that I always see. I couldn’t help but stare at him.He’s wearing a printed white T-shirt and jeans. He was also not wearing a hat, so his face almost shines in front of me.“Ah, I would like to invite you out?” Shame seemed to precede because his gaze immediately turned in another direction after saying that.I couldn’t help but smile and opened the door wide. It’s okay to entertain others if all I see here is friendship. I’m single anyway. After all, this is what Rex wants—for me to do wha

“ARE YOU allowed to drink tonight?” Jeff asked me, but his gaze flew to Rexon.I laughed at his question. “Of course, I do! I would love to drink.” Then my gaze crossed to Rexon, who was just leaning forward on the couch.“She can’t drink. Give her a root beer instead,” he said, and he slightly raised the glass he was holding.“Come on, Rex, let’s her enjoy the night,” Skye replied.“Why, isn’t she enjoying herself already?” He gave me a crudely insulting stare.I wait for Jeff to say something, but he does not. Damn! Why were they so afraid of this man?! I wrapped my palms tightly over my thighs and held my breath for a while before thinking of what to say.“I’m fine here, thanks.” My hands gripped the bottle then raised my eyes to him. We stared at each other for what seemed like a second until he finally dropped his gaze.I sipped the be

I WOKE UP early the following day to take a shower. I have prepared what to wear and the resume that I will need to apply for work.“Dad, I’m leaving!” I quickly drunk the milk that Aunt Melva had prepared for me and pulled out my shoulder bag.“Be careful!” he said after I kissed him on the cheek.I chose a cream pastel skirt that didn’t reach my knees, a white top shirt that I dyed with a cream-colored ring blazer. I also decided to wear flat black shoes because my height might be overwhelming if I wore heels.I was just thankful that Dad didn’t notice what I was wearing, nor did he ask me where I was going today.I got out of the jeep and looked up at the luxurious building in front of me. I will try to apply as secretary today. I was actually nervous because I had never applied for a job related to my business management degree.I’ve regretted the reason why I have no experience in such kin
