Chapter 11

HENRY KINGSTON.The name that could send every old employee of importance working in the Hardins group fuming with anger, hatred and disgust. In fact, mentioning the name Kingston was banned in our company.I don't know much about the “beef” neither do I know how or when it started. But ever since I started working in the company, Henry has done a lot of harm that even made me dislike him even when I haven't met him.And I heard that Asher and Henry were enemies for a long time.I took the company's card and shopped online for a dress suitable for the party. I wasn't going to spend my own money on stuff like that when I have Elle's surgery to think of.I chose a black body con gown laced with gold and I got a bag to fit. While waiting for the delivery, I decided to continue working on the files.I was halfway done when I noticed Asher standing by the door with his hands folded. ‘do you need something sir?’ I got up from my seat prepared to get him what he needed.‘the file I was lo

Chapter 12

Mr. Smile was Henry Kingston, who was my boss’ enemy.The one who was our company's number one rival. The very one my boss clearly warned me to stay away from. I didn't just talk to him, I danced with him.I was dumbfounded.The tall man turned out to be Mr Henry’s secretary and right hand man. He turned towards Asher as if he wanted to hit him.Let the kid be Carter, Let him whine. Seems he hadn’t let go of what had happened.’ Henry smiled coldly.This man was entirely different from the Mr. Smile from earlier.Like seriously! I heard Henry was an arsehole but seeing it for myself made me extremely mad. I get why Asher hated him. Asher’s cold eyes were filled with rage and it was obvious he wanted to reach out to Henry and beat the living hell out of him.They both silently threw arrows at each other with their eyes.I could feel the tension between the two. You can cut it with a knife.Thankfully the guests seem to not have noticed the exchange between the two. I tried pulling Ash

Chapter 13

ASHER'S POV.As I drove into my garage, I got an international call from the city of Dubai. It was Omar, my soon to be partner.‘Hey man.’ He has been a friend since our university days. We were both heirs to our family business groups.‘Hey dude. How are you doing?’ He asked. ‘Good man. So what's up?’ ‘When do you board your flight?’‘tomorrow. So we can make it on time for the meeting on Monday morning.’‘oh I forgot you have always been scrupulous with time. I was thinking perhaps you might fly in on Monday morning.’ I nodded. Trust Omar to make sure everything is intact.‘You know you should have just asked your secretary to call me.’ ‘Nah. I don't let him handle critical matters like this. And moreover I have missed you a lot, Asher baby.’ His voice became corny as he drew the baby.‘hey!’He laughed.‘See you tomorrow man.’ He said then hung up.I walked to the door only to find the locks changed and the door was unlocked. Carefully I walked in. Who dares to come to my ho

Chapter 14

LORIE'S POV I sat facing the mirror still wondering why Garret would ask me out for dinner. We were in a relationship, yes but our relationship was practically dead. He cheats and I cheated also. There's no love between us. Our relationship is more like a provider and receiver. He pays for Elle's bill and in return I obey his every demand. Whatever he hopes to achieve with this must not be good.I did my makeup and proceeded to apply my body spray. I was dressed in a knee length gown my mother had gifted me for my birthday last year.‘aren't you done yet?’ Garrett’s head popped into my room. He was obviously getting impatient. ‘I am done. Let’s go.’ I picked up my bag and hurried after him.We drove to a French hotel with silence in the air. He had reserved our seats earlier. While we sat, a waitress looking like a Barbie girl came to take our orders.‘Good day sir and ma'am, what would you like to order?" She asked‘I will take one of your expensive wines. Could you make a recom

Chapter 15

I got home from the hospital very late and exhausted. I was too tired to do anything. Thankfully I had arranged my things earlier today.Garrett wasn't home. I remembered the money I had spent at the bar earlier, it made my eyes teary.I went to the fridge and took out a beer and a bag of chips to drown my anger while I waited for him, all the walking had made me hungry. I walked to the living room, turning on the television. Losing my appetite for the chips I concentrated only on the drink. I got another bottle.Lorie, remember that it was this drinking that resulted in you having a one-night stand with your boss of all people. I shouldn't drink, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. But I feel too depressed and angry to sleep.I had to wait for Garrett to come home so I could confront him and I could not do that while I was sober. Soon I was on my third bottle and Garrett wasn't home.The time was 11 pm and my flight was scheduled for 8 am. I needed to sleep yet I had to talk to

Chapter 16

‘Where are the parachutes?’ my boss shook the air hostess passing by.‘Be calm sir. Everything is under control.’ She was giving him a panicked smile.‘don't bloody tell me that!’ his voice made her flinch. ‘The engine of the plane is on fire and we all might die. Yet you tell me to remain calm! How can you use a plane without thorough check up? Are you fucking going to take care of my company? Where the fuck is the captain?’‘s.. s.. sir I don't know.’ Suddenly she burst out crying. Not knowing what to do with a wailing female, Asher let go of her instantly. Our plane was about to crash. My heart kept on thumping. I couldn't keep calm. I wasn't ready to die. Even if I have to eventually, it wasn’t on my to-do list. As if the plane could sense my fear, there was a turbulence.I didn't say bye to mom or Jasmine. Poor Elle, who would take care of her? Who would pay her bills?He turned to me. ‘don't worry my heart. I will take care of our child no matter what.’I nodded.‘Wait what C

Chapter 17

Asher immediately pulled away from her. The rest of us turned our faces away pretending we didn't see anything. However, I couldn't stop the feeling of jealousy that crawled into me. Not minding the way he pulled away from her, she blushed.‘You left so suddenly that night. I was wondering if we could..’‘Don't ever try that again.’ His voice was colder than I have ever heard. Her face turned pale but he continued, ‘I don't remember who you are or when we met but be careful not to cross my path next time.’ He walked off. Judging from her shocked look, she must have hooked up with him once, since rumors said he became a womanizer after his fiancée left him at the altar. Not wanting to be at the end of his wrath I walked quickly after him trying to shake off the feeling of being jet lagged. At the meeting, the business deals were finalized. It seems like they have had a lot of meetings prior to our coming here. So we practically just signed the contract while my boss spoke in hushed

Chapter 18

Asher's pov.I went straight to my office after giving my secretary the day off. She had insisted on coming with me but I refused. She deserved to rest and moreover, she had looked like hell when before we left for Dubai she could visit the doctor on her day off. The way she stared at me when she assured me that she was by my side stirred up something in me. She made me want to trust again. She made me want to open the door I had shut since Sabrina left me standing alone on the altar. Lorie was innocent, she was pretty, however she always looks like she's carrying the world on her shoulders yet she still chooses to assure me that she's on my side. Having a day off was a luxury I couldn't afford at the moment. In my quest to raise the sales of the headquarters and expand the business Henry decided to ruin my hard work.I was determined to catch that impostor that sold off my company. It was certain that Henry won’t have possession of any of the files or documents except someone to be e

Chapter 19

Lorie’s pov I stared at him as if he had mysteriously grown horns.Did I hear him correctly?‘yes. You heard me right. Let's go pick locks.’ He said before walking ahead of me.‘is it time for lunch?’ He asked‘lunch break is over sir.’‘Do the tech guys come often to work?’ ‘not all the time. But at least two or three of them are always around.’‘find some replacement for all the tech guys when we get back to our office.’ ‘Yes sir.’I walked with him to the elevator. My legs were aching from all that running up the stairs.We walked to the elevator and he pressed the button to the floor where we were headed. I arranged the hem of my skirt that had gotten folded during my flight up the stairs. He turned to me and was about to say something but the elevator opened and more people joined us so he kept quiet.We got out of the elevator and walked towards the room. Word must have reached the computer guys that the CEO was there because the door was wide open, the monitors were working

Chapter 20

We froze in each other's arms.The knock continued.‘Asher!’ Sabrina’s voice was becoming louder so were her knocks. Thankfully the glass was not transparent. She hadn't seen us.He let go of my waist and walked to where his phone sat.‘Asher are you really going to keep on fucking that bitch!?’ she screamed. I could hear her voice clearly though the door was locked. She will soon at this point scream down the whole place. Then it hit me. If I could hear her, then people around could too. The news will spread around that I was sleeping with my boss. But thankfully she hasn't mentioned my name yet.I turned to Asher. He was dialing a number.‘This is Mr Hardin, get two of your strongest men here, something needs to be removed from here immediately.’ He said. ‘Sir? Are you really going to have security drag her out?’ I hated her guts but I didn't want to see her humiliated like that. It will definitely bruise her ego and increase her hate for me.‘yes. I have enough on my plate now. I
