Chapter Fifty-Nine

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE*He has been stalking her?! * "And I knew you have been lying to me, Hannah. I have evidence." He rasped in her ears, causing her to gasp.What does he know? What evidence? Or could it be he has been stalking her?What could he possibly be getting at here? Her mind was running in a spiral of anxious thoughts. She was jumbled.She managed to croak out, "what are you talking about?"He chuckled as he returned to his seat and slumped into it, releasing a deep sigh.She swallowed thickly as she stood watching him. "The last time I begrudgingly gave you an off day what did you tell me?" He quizzed, his eyes piercing hers as he clasped both of his hands on his desk.She gulped. What is he trying to get at here? She licked her lips before she responded. "I told you that my mother was ill. Why did you ask?" She shrugged.He chuckled as a sly smile tugged at the corner of his lips."I ask again, Hannah, do you take me as a fool? Do you think I would believe you? Why di

Chapter Sixty

CHAPTER SIXTY*Serves him right!*A satisfied smirk creep across his face as he leaned backwards, settling into his chair. He proceeded to clasp his hands together again as his cool and assessing gaze continues to scan her features."The meeting has been rescheduled to 2 pm because I have an important matter to attend to. During the meeting, we will be launching preparations for our upcoming contract with a top lingerie manufacturing company to help them market and advertise their products. I want you to be in charge of this in my stead. This means you will be super busy for the next two weeks. Is that understood?" He demanded, staring at her intensely.She clamped her lips briefly together and nodded slowly.Oh no! What about Janice's vacation trip?!They were supposed to go together next week!Damn it! He's already pissed off and asking for another permission in this circumstance will not be accepted. How would she break this news to her best friend? She won't be happy about it.

Chapter Sixty-One

CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE*Speak of the Devil, Breda!*Serves him right! She will not give him the satisfaction of getting his way with her. That's right! She loves to see the defeat in his eyes. His ego was clearly hurt!A self-conceited monster like him needs a reminder from time to time that they simply cannot get whatever they want anytime they want. They absolutely think money is the solution to all of their problems. What a joke!He cleared his throat and licked his lips again. His eyes were hooded and intent on hers.She remained standing.He glanced at his wristwatch and sprung up from his chair, buttoning his jacket properly as he straightened his broad shoulders. He was much taller than her about 6 feet tall. He was hovering over her as his midnight eyes glinted."Well, business calls. I should be going. Good thing I don't have to tell spell out your job for you. Now get back to work and leave my sight!" He bellowed.She lit her lower lip to roar back at him.What a total jerk! Sh

Chapter Sixty-Two

CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO*Fuck bodies with no commitments*She watched her receding back with resentment flushing through her.Dear lord, she had never hated anyone more than she hates that slut!She bit her lower lip and swallowed.She had the guts to threaten her like that. How dare she?! Well, she can't blame her, after all, she's willing to kiss his ass to get in his good books and win him over at any cost. Even to get on his bed. They probably already fucked. Trust, Cross the playboy to get whatever he wants. The sex must have been good though... Aggressive and steamy hot! Breda seems like the rough-handler type. It must have been her lucky day indeed.Snap outta it, Hannah! She chided herself mentally, feeling embarrassed with herself for thinking like that.Wait a damn minute. what is this sudden heaviness lingering in her chest?She pressed her palm against her chest.It can't possibly be 'jealously ' is it?Absolutely no freaking way! Why would she be jealous of that slut? And b

Chapter Sixty-Three

CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE*It's good news, Babe!*Janice Jordan! Her bestie.Oh shit! Why would she be calling at a time like this?Did something happen? Or did her sickness become worse? Or?...But work calls. She has to prep for the meeting coming up later in the day and her boss, Mr cross particularly noted she will be in charge of the big project. Well, the only pending issue they have on ground is about the planning for the short trip to South Africa which, unfortunately, she will no longer be available for. With an exasperated groan, She puffed out a deep breath. She contemplated calling her later perhaps during her lunch break. But for now, her hands are tight down with pending important matters to attend to. She changed the settings to vibration mode just in case a call from Mr Cross comes in. She doesn't want to give him the luxury of looking for holes to pick with her. Not this time. Not after what happened in his office earlier today.But then again, an uneasy feeling linger

Chapter Sixty-Four

CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR*Sadly, she won't be part of it*"What? I don't think I got that Hannah could say it one more time please?" "Huh?" Hannah said faintly.What is she getting at? Is she bluffing right now? I just said..."I think the network from my end suddenly started acting up. My bad." She continued. "Can you hear me?"She nodded slowly, "Yes, Jane. Loud and clear." After a pause. "Can you hear me now?"Janice nodded. "Yeah, I guess. So what were you saying, Hannah?"Hannah swallowed a lump in her throat. Sharing a piece of sad news is better said once than twice. She shifted relentlessly in her seat. She was extremely nervous.Maybe is best they talk about it face to face rather than discussing it over the phone. That way, they would be able to discuss it at a greater length and perhaps come up with alternative ways for her to spend the trip.She drew in several breaths and exhaled, clamping her lips anxiously."Hannah? Are you still there? Hello?" She prompted, impatiently.Her

Chapter Sixty-Five

CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE*Please go for my sake*Failing at her attempt to hold her tears at bay, she let them flow freely down her cheeks. Why does this hurt so much?She clenched a hand over her chest.A complex emotion stirred inside her.Imagine planning out something big, mapping out all your aims and steps to achieve them and then, eventually succeeding. Only for the slightest thing to alter and mar all your plans. Hence, throwing them all in a state of disarray. Especially, if this so-called plan is with someone very important to you. Someone that you cherish and love. Your best friend.That pain is the most unbearable. Really!A part of her hoped to go and would not hesitate to barge into her boss' office right this instance, demanding permission to go for the trip even though it means losing her job as a result. She doesn't care.But then, that's just the irrational part of her. The rational part of her is admonishing her from veering off and letting her emotions get the best o

Chapter Sixty-Six

CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX*She needed a challenge! *It was a misty chilly Saturday morning and Janice vowed that today she would go jogging instead of being slothful and sleeping in the house almost all day.She needed a challenge! And today seems like the right time to do it.She groggily forced herself out of bed, yawning loudly. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and strolled to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She finished in three minutes, washing her face. She dabbed a towel on her face and sauntered to her walk-in closet. She flicked open the wardrobe compartment that housed all her workout clothes and equipment. She sneezed loudly, rubbing her nose. Damn! It's frigid cold outside.This could be one reason to deter her from jogging outside but she shook her head frantically, reiterating the importance of today's workout. She won't be lazy anymore. No excuses whatsoever Janice! Today we will be doing a little jogging around the compound. We need to get your lazy body bouncing back! We need t

Chapter Sixty-Seven

CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN*Whatever means necessary, he will not hesitate to seize*His naked body was draped in the duvet as he stared at the ceiling mindlessly. He slept naked yesterday without realizing it. He had worked so hard at the stables, losing track of time and getting back to the Cabin pretty late. He had lazily jumped into the shower for a quick one with sleepy eyes and by the time he got to the bed he was already fast asleep. He yawned and flexed his muscles. His eyes flickered to the clock at his bedside table. 7:10 am. He stared at the window, the dark was still fresh and the sun is gleaming weakly through the window.He yawned again. As much as he would love to continue his beauty sleep on the bed some more, he got work to do today.Saturdays are for track run exercises at the stables. The horses need some early morning exercises around the wasteland. He sighed deeply. By the way, it's been a couple of days since he last set his eyes on her. Hope she's doing fine thou

Chapter Sixty-Eight

CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT*Obsession*His Jaw twitched as he took in all her features with his eyes ravaging every inch of her body.Although she appeared rather simple in yoga pants and a tank top with her Nike sneakers, but there was something sexually tantalizing about the beads of sweat grazing her creamy silky skin and the way her blonde hair was moist from the sweat clinging to the soft skin on her face. His hands flexed to resist the burning urge to fists her wet sweaty hair in his hands and lick the sweat off her naked body. Her chest was heaving as she panted from the strenuous morning track exercise she did. He was even surprised to see her today working out and then showing up at his place this early morning. He couldn't remember the last time he saw her in her workout clothes. She looked incredibly sexy even without make-up. Her morning face is so beautiful. She's indeed a natural beauty."What took you so long to get the door?" She queried breathlessly.He chuckled then resp
