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-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-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-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-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
