James stood next to the door as he watched the server that was sent to his private room arrange drinks on the table that was in front of the sofa he had been sitting on. After he was done, he left quickly. The staff were very familiar with James, since he was the co-owner of the establishment. If he came in looking the way he did today, it meant that he did not want anyone to bother him. After their privacy was restored, James went to the counter that was on one side of the room and made himself a cup of tea. Laura frowned when she saw him return with the mug that had steaming hot tea. “Aren’t we going to drink together?” Laura asked James once he sat back down next to her. “We are. I’ll just be drinking tea,” James said as he placed the mug on the table in front of him. “Why?” Laura asked him. “Because I have work tomorrow. You would do well to enjoy tonight as well, since you are going to have to worry about work too in the future,” James advised. “I thought you would be joini

Laura watched James as she discreetly rubbed her butt, wondering what it was he was thinking about so seriously. James took a few deep breaths before turning around to look at Laura, whose lips were swollen, her lipstick smudged and her previously pinned up hair a mess. He closed his eyes and turned to look away from her again. Laura was completely unaware of how sexy she looked and just how much James was holding himself back from just pushing her down on the sofa to properly devour her. Laura took another glass and poured herself a drink and added some ice to it before standing up and going to where James was standing. James felt Laura tugging at his sleeve and turned to look at her. “Did you decide to drink anyway?” Laura asked and looked up at him as she took a sip of her drink. James watched her with dark eyes and the clueless Laura looked at him with raised eyebrows as she took another sip of her drink. James caught her chin between his thumb and index finger and pressed his

The following morning, Laura woke up abruptly as if something startled her awake. She stayed still in her bed and listened for a while but the entire place was completely silent. There weren’t any movements even outside her room.She rolled over in her bed and checked under her sheets before groaning and burying her face in her pillow. She had a slight headache and was feeling lethargic too. After rolling around in bed for almost an hour, she finally got off and went to take a shower.She put on a pair of shorts and an oversized t-shirt before finally leaving her room. She thought Rachel would have already returned but that didn’t seem to be the case as the house was completely quiet and the lights she had turned on the previous night were still on.She walked towards the kitchen as she tied her hair up in a messy bun and went to get herself some water and went to lay down on the sofa. She looked up at the ceiling as she recalled the things that she had done the previous day and could

Laura stared blankly at the document in her hand. She had signed with the company just yesterday. So she didn’t know they were going to be putting her to work so soon already!'Laura knew a lot of brands had wanted her as a spokesperson, but aren’t they being too enthusiastic?' She thought to herself as she saw her packed schedule. She was already fully booked for the next three months!She looked up from the schedule to Jason, who had brought it and felt all the love she had previously had for the star melt away. He was just a capitalist!Jason felt wronged when he saw Laura’s gaze. He didn’t want to pack her schedule so much, he even spaced out everything so she could get ample rest in between jobs. He didn’t know who leaked the information, but he had started getting calls from last night from different brands asking for Laura.“Someone leaked the news before we could say anything,” Jason said and James nodded in understanding.“Make an official post on social media. You should coo

“But still be careful, if you don’t want to increase your workload,” Jen reminded, and Laura remembered how two weeks had been reduced to one because of her own stubbornness. It looked like what Jen was saying was not completely unfounded.“Tsk, these capitalists,” Laura said as she folded her hands over her chest.“Look at you talking like you aren’t one yourself,” Rachel said with a laugh as she looked at her friend.“Oh, how come you're home today? Is your tattooed man busy today?” Laura asked Rachel, as she hadn’t been expecting to find her home when she returned.“He went back to base,” Rachel answered.“Base?” Laura asked her with a puzzled expression.“Brian is a soldier,” Rachel said, and Laura finally understood before perking up to look at her friend.“Did you know?” Laura asked Jen and tilted her head when her friend shrugged her shoulders. It looked like she was the only one who was unaware of what was going on.“He helped with a stalker issue before. He is… very well conn
