42.Annabel couldn't believe what just happened. How did he find out? How did everything turn out this way? She had so many questions she wanted to ask right now. She still stared at Roland, lost in shock.“Why didn't you tell me Annabel? Why didn't you tell me that you were the one all this while?” He asked and tears rolled down her eyes.“Is that why you acted mean around me? Is that why you acted like you hated me so much? Is that why you never let me come close to you or even talk to you? Is that why?” He asked.Annabel just let her tears flow. This wasn't how she imagined everything to happen. She didn't want him to find out and he still did. Just tonight that she thought she was finally happy; tonight that she was ready to unwind and have fun, then this happened.“Talk to me, Annabel! Talk to me, please, I'm dying here.” He said.She wiped her tears and faced him. “You're dying here, so what? What does that have to do with me and how the fuck is that my business? How is it someth

44.Annabel sighed as she finished up her work for the day. She rested her head on her palms as the events of the previous days replayed themselves in her head. She didn't want to quit this job but she was getting fed up.Never in her life did she imagine that Roland would find out who she truly was this way. Now she was stuck avoiding him whenever they came to work.“Are you okay?” Brian asked and she sighed.“Can we go out for a drink after work today?” She asked and Brian hesitated.“I'd love to but you know what happened the last time. I almost got fired.” He whispered and she shook her head.“No, Brian. We will try not to get drunk this time around. I just need something to calm myself down.” She smiled.Brian sighed and nodded. “Sure, no problem.” He smiled and walked back to his seat.Work hours were finally over and Annabel exhaled. She thought the day would never end. She closed her laptop and stood up but was stopped by Mr. Carl.“I need you to take this files to Mr. Roland's

46.The next morning, Annabel awoke with a throbbing headache. She first of all glanced around her surrounding and found it familiar. When she discovered that she was in Roland's room, her countenance changed immediately and she hurried down from the bed.She saw a slipper at the side of the bed, which she suspected to be his and refused to wear it. She walked barefooted to the living room where she met Roland giving orders to the maid.Roland turned and saw her. “Good morning.” He greeted with a smile but she didn't return it.“Where is my car key?” She questioned, suddenly remembering that she'd supposed to be home by now to prepare Olivia for school.“It's on the table, I'll get it.” He said but she stopped him.“Don't bother. I'll get it myself,” She was about walking to the table when something pierced her skin. “Ah!” She exclaimed.Roland rushed to her immediately. “What happened?” He asked but she didn't give him an answer. She raised her leg up and Roland gasped when he saw bl

48.After Roland left, Annabel sat and thought about all he had said.What did he mean by she was the one he wanted?The door opened and Sasha rushed in.“You didn't go to work?” Annabel asked.“How do you expect me to go to work when I no longer understand what the heck is going on with you? Where were you last night?” Sasha took a seat beside her on the couch.“In Roland's house.” She sighed and ran her hands through her hair.“I thought as much. What were you doing there or are you finally interested in him?” She questioned.Annabel shook her head. “Of course not. I got drunk and found myself there.” Sasha frowned. “Again? This is the second time it's happening. You aren't supposed to be drinking, Annabel. Stop it!” Sasha scolded her and placed her hand on her waist.“I couldn't help it, Sasha,” tears rolled down her cheeks, making Sasha wonder what was wrong with her. Annabel hadn't told her that Roland found out who she was because she didn't know how and she didn't want Sasha to

50."What are you talking about? Your personal assistant!?" She asked in disbelief."Yes Anna, my personal assistant, you're being promoted.""No! I..I don't want that, I'm quite okay where I am." "The technical department? No Anna, you're not okay there."''And how do you know that?'' She frowned.Roland shrugged. "I just know it and that's why I'm giving you this promotion, you'll no longer be a part of the technical department but my personal assistant and that's not all too." He said and she narrowed her eyes."Your office will also be in here, this place is big enough to contain two people, so your office will be right there." He points at a space not too far from his.Annabel shook her head, now she see where he's going, she trying so hard to avoid him but the pest won't leave her alone and now he's trying to use this means to get her, but she's not going to fall for it, no matter what he does."I'm so sorry, Sir, but I refuse, I do not want to work as your personal assistant, i
