บททั้งหมดของ Reyona's Revenge: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

“And you have a meeting with Antoine's Real Estate by 11:00 am,” Charlotte was saying as she hurried behind Reyona to her office, flipping through her legal pad. “Their rep called a while ago to verify if you are still available and I told her yes since you didn’t say anything else."“Yes, yes, I will make it. What else?” Reyona, who was annoyed with herself for oversleeping that morning, walked briskly to her office. She had woken up past 8:00 am, for God’s sake. She couldn’t remember the last time she slept past six.It was a habit she had developed since college, and it had stayed with her. She guessed she should be pleased that she was making up for all the sleep she had lost in the past months, but now was not the right time to be indulging in too much shuteye, not when she had a lot to do.“...said his name was Mr. Rohan, and he had urgent business. I wouldn't leave when I told him he needed an appointment first, so I made him wait in the general waiting room,” Charlotte was sayi

Reyona just wanted to get the meeting with the client over with so she could start her day as planned.“It must be something very important if he was willing to wait despite no assurance that he would see me,” she thought as she awaited him.A slight knock preceded Charlotte’s entrance. “He is here, ma.”“Oh, alright,” she said as she turned from the window. “Come in, s...you?” she asked in surprise as she saw the man behind her secretary. His hateful smile was creeping its way onto his face already.He stepped forward confidently and took her free hand in a firm handshake "It is a pleasure meeting you again, CPA Lanoth,” he said professionally, the earlier smile gone from his face.The bitter taste of the coffee got even more bitter in Reyona’s mouth when she saw the slight raising of his brow with his back to Charlotte, who was looking at the two of them in confusion. She realised that even while seeming professional, he was silently daring her to act like the professional that she w

“Well, I don’t know about that... but at least I can send you out of my office.” Reyona replied evenly, her eyes sparking in animosity at the arrogant bastard standing so self-righteously in her office “Out now before I call the security on you!” she yelled as she jerked her corked thumb towards the door.“Reyona…Rey….”“Why is he calling her in Thomas’s voice?” She wondered as she narrowed her eyes at his serious-looking gaze; she could almost detect pity in his look, and that even annoyed her more! How dare he pity her! This was all their fault! He and…“Babe?” I think you need to get up. She could feel a hand shake her, and her vision wavered. One instant, Maxwell was in front of her, looking at her indifferently. The next, he was whispering into her ears, “Face it. You can’t run from it. Or me”“Who does he think he is?” she thought in anger and lashed out with her fist.“Aaargh!” A pain-filled voice yelled close to her ear, and she jerked up in confusion.The muted light and chang

“Just how shameless can he be?” Reyona thought in anger as she saw Maxwell striding towards her.The oblivious, surprised look on his face only infuriated her more, as she was sure that it was definitely part of his artifice.He looked at her in confusion for a second before that hateful smile of his filled his face. He put his phone in his pocket, tucking his hand in as he rocked back on his heels as if lounging.“Well, my dear CEO Lanoth. I had no idea that you have such an ample sense of imagination,” he said as he barely glanced at the secretary.Reyona knew she should just bypass him, especially since the secretary was standing some distance away, waiting for her to catch up with her.She was not about to allow an asshole to get away with messing up her day or trying to sneak up on her at a potential client’s company. “I can assure you that if you dare to pull this stunt again, I will simply get you arrested.”She hissed in a low tone and made sure to pass him by. The secretary’s

Thomas was in a black mood by the time he drove up the driveway of the house he had shared with Reyona for about eight years. A home where he had continued the pretence he started two years before when Susan and he had made a bet.Susan had come to meet him at his shitass job back then as a trainer, and they had pretended not to know each other so that the gym manager wouldn’t find a reason to complain. He was pretending to put her through her workout while she giggled and pretended to be totally clueless about it all.That was when she had walked in—the auburn-haired beauty alongside a younger-looking lady—both of them so mouthwateringly gorgeous that they caught the eye immediately.The men's heads turned to look at them, and the elderly one was oblivious to the stare she was garnering as she seemed reluctant to be there, while the younger one was cajoling her that it was the right thing to do. His gaze must have ingered a bit longer on the curvaceous beauty because the next moment S
