"Hmm, this is actually very good. Aria, I am proud of you," Lisa moaned as she shoved her spoon into her mouth. Aria wasn't really good in the kitchen but it seemed the days she spent at home, she used it wisely.Ariana glared at her from her end of the table while Zion struggled not to choke on his meal."Do you two act this way all the time?" Zion asked laughing. Aria passed him a glass of water and she smiled as well."No, we don't. Lisa is just being really annoying. To think she has been quiet all day and then you come in and she starts acting like a brat!" Aria said feigning anger."That is what happens when you work for the Brentwood for as long as I have," Lisa responded.They all started laughing at her response again and Zion raised his hand. "That means, you both met there?" He asked. He always thought Aria had an issue picking her friends back in high school but it seemed the jinx had finally been broken as soon as she met Lisa. He didn't know much about her yet, but he co

Chapter 73:Mr. Lawson's chair was facing the large glass window behind him and as Zion spoke, he slowly turned the chair in their direction and Aria thought she had seen a ghost."You!"Zion turned to glare at me and I didn't even pay him any attention. The person I was seeing in that chair couldn't possibly be Mr. Lawson. It couldn't."Carl?" I asked just to be sure even if my eyes were looking at the devil smirk at me.He wasn't a tidbit surprised, he knew exactly what he was doing. He knew about this. Was this some kind of acting? Did he have a look-alike?My vision and my brain refused to correlate. I felt intense pain on the side of my head and I thought I would go mad. How could Carl, a sex worker be Mr. Lawson, owner, and CEO of the famous and powerful Lawson Group? How?I turned back to Zion, who remained by the door watching our reaction. While I acted like I had gone crazy, Carl had a satisfactory smirk on his face."Zion, is this your boss?" Aria squealed trying to lower h

Chapter 75:Alice was pacing up and down her office with her fingers in her teeth. She had dropped a lot of messages with Calhoun's secretary but she hadn't gotten a reply yet. Was the fool not doing her job?She needed to talk to Calhoun it was very urgent. She would have called his private line but he had blatantly refused to give her his number no matter how hard she tried."Alice you need to calm down. I am sure the secretary will reply. Don't increase your blood pressure by running around like this?" Sofia said from the corner of the office.She had been sulking about Ethan but since her sister also had problems of her own she had settled in a corner and had her legs propped on the table as she went through her phone."You know, when I marry Calhoun eventually, I am going to make sure, he sacks that annoying secretary of his! The silly woman never passes my messages I swear it!" Alice spat.Sofia rolled her eyes and focused on her phone, leaving her sister to rant about her probl

Chapter 77:The moment her six inch high heels stepped unto the reception area, the entire place went as silent as a graveyard.She walked with the confidence of a goddess. Her blonde hair was sleeked to the back of her skull like an alien princess that have seen too many good days to understand how to treat lower people. She strutted towards the elevator without having the need to go to the receptionist and that one didn't dare stop her to ask where she was heading to.Even the elevator seemed to be scared of her as it moved without a sound up to the floor she had commanded it to go. The only thing left out of her ensemble was a tail for everyone that saw the woman walking down the corridor, shuffled far away. She was a true representation of the devil in the corporate world.Alice Brentwood.She stepped out of the elevator and moved with enough confidence to defeat even the most beautiful of pageants. She got to Calhoun's door and took a deep breathe like she was calming her already

Chapter 79:Ariana gulped again as he stated the obvious. Back then she thought he was a sex worker, not the popular and the richest man in the city!"I made that deal with someone who I thought was a sex worker, not you," she said stealing a glance at him. "You should have told me that night. I wouldn't have bothered you," she added.Calhoun took another impossibly close step to her and she was forced to move into the door. Her back was flat on the door and her eyes searched for what to focus on.He kept coming closer and the air became filled with scents of him. He was in her private space and she couldn't move without touching or rubbing into him. She stole another glance at him and saw that he was watching her every move. The fire in his eyes was enough to send her folds into another meltdown. No one had so much effect on her. She couldn't control herself around him. He was hovering over her and she became restless again. She searched for words to say to save herself from the doom
