After her shower, she wore a bathrobe and checked around the wardrobe there to know if she could see anything to wear for the night because Ben didn't seem to bother about that.The wardrobe was full of clothes, she didn't expect that he would have clothes there since he didn't stay around often. Majority of the clothes hanged in the wardrobe were just suits jackets, suit jackets which had their matching trousers hanged next to them. They were mostly black and grey suits, she could see only one blue suit there.Folded below the hanged suits were casuals like the outfit he wore. She took out one of the tops, they looked big enough for her to wear; she thought. She had to go to the tall mirror next to the wardrobe to check by holding the top over her chest. It was thigh length after she checked, good enough for her.She quickly put it on, remembering he mentioned that he had cooked. She didn't know he could cook, she wondered how he could cook when he had people to do that for him all t

"Yes, I had to visit home and I met with him after a long time and it ruined my night and also affected my office hours earlier today.""Why don't you...why don't like your father, is it because he's your adopted father and not your biological dad?" Belle asked what she thought could be the reason but she didn't know it was deeper than that.Ben went silent for a while, he didn't want to remember why he hated his father. He definitely didn't want to let her know why, it was too complicated for her to know about it. He couldn't tell her that the man the public thought as his adopted father was actually his biological father, he couldn't tell her that his father cheated on his wife with his biological mother and still went ahead to bring him back to be taken care of by the same woman with a lie of him(Ben) being an adopted child.When Ben didn't reply her question, she went on to tell him;"I lost both my parents at an early age, when I was still in my mother's womb actually. I don't kn

"I'm very sorry I'm late, Mrs Johnson." Belle apologized because she knew her boss was just lying when she told Nathan that she was pre-informed by Belle about her lateness."It's fine." She heard Mrs Johnson."I know I said not to repeat my lateness the last time and now.....""It's okay, I'm not mad at you." Mrs Johnson assured her, seeing how genuinely sorry Belle was.Whether Belle was genuinely sorry or not, Laura Johnson knew she couldn't be mad at her, not after receiving a call from her superior, she wasn't ready to loose her job.Besides, she knew Belle was a nice person but she had also come to know that she(Belle) was not just a simple girl working as her assistant, she was somehow in relation with a big shot. After getting a call from her superior, Laura Johnson needed not to be told that Belle wasn't to be messed with. If she could have a superior call on her behalf, she surely had someone powerful behind her, that Laura Johnson was very sure of and she planned to keep u

When Belle was crossing the road with Randy again, she had a smile on her face. She was happy about not having to ride with Nathan but she was smiling also because she found it funny how fast Randy had replied ‘no’ to Nathan's question."Why did you say no so fast like that?" Belle asked laughing because she found it funny but Randy didn't."I don't want to die." She heard his reply and stopped laughing."What?""Mr Larkson will kill me if I ever call his woman my girlfriend." He said lastly before opening the car door for her.Randy knee he didn't there accept it when someone called Ben's woman his. He didn't think of ever doing it with the other women who he knew his boss had spent a night or so with and he wasn't going to play with his life by doing it with Belle, not after seeing how serious his boss was with her.Belle got in and Randy closed the door before heading to the front for the driver's seat.Ben was on his phone when she got into the car and didn't look up from it, he s

Tears started to form in Belle's eyes as she stood in front of Ben, he wasn't answering any of the questions she was asking. She wanted to know what he thought. She wanted to know if he thought she was only there for the money.Before he showed up and asked Randy to come pick her up from Mrs Johnson's office, she had talked to Brie. She told Brie that Ben wanted to know what she(Belle) would like to get from him.Brie then asked her something that made her think for some of the free time she had because Mrs Johnson wouldn't give her a task to do. Brie had asked her;"He asked what you wanted? Was that during sex?""Yes." She had told Brie."What does he think you are, a prostitute? He buys you things from clothes to things of your choice and then expects you to give your body to him whenever, he must think you are cheap."Those words rang in her ears over and over again till Randy showed up. Now she was standing in this house with Ben and she was asking those same things that Brie ask
