CHAPTER 72MICHAEL “Woah! Slow down, Alan. I haven't told you everything yet so don't ask me that question. It's too early” I quickly told him off and he gave me a knowing look.“Or are you just scared to own up to what you feel and admit to it by answering me?” He asked and I sighed.“Just listen to what I have to say first, Alan” I insisted and he leaned back in his chair.“Alright then. Go ahead” he said and I took a sip from my drink before I went ahead to explain myself.“I had no plans of taking things further with Taylor when I met her because she reminded me too much of Blair. I only bought her from that auction to get back at Blair and Carlos and I'm glad it worked” I scoffed and Alan chuckled. “But then… I don't know how it happened, Alan but I found myself getting along with her more than I anticipated and in the process, she fell for me”“How do you know that?” He asked and I looked at him.“She confessed to me while she was drunk yesterday” “Oh shit! She did?” he aske

CHAPTER 74MICHAEL I walked into the penthouse only to be welcomed with a dark living room and I figured that everyone must be asleep already.With a sigh, I made my way toward my room to rest for the night. Then I began to hear shuffling in the kitchen.There was suddenly a loud clang as a cup fell on the floor and I paused as I heard a voice mutter in the dark. Immediately, my defenses were awakened and I wondered if my house had been broken into as I pulled a gun out from beneath my shirt and slowly made my way to the kitchen.I held the gun out before me to attack if I had to. Then I reached for the switch to turn the light off and immediately I did, I saw it was Taylor and she had never looked so pale and frozen as she stared at the gun I had in her face with pure fear in her eyes.Quickly, I returned the gun into my pocket before I could reach for her shoulders to see if she was okay but she quickly took a step back as I held my hands out and there was suddenly a cold tension b

CHAPTER 76TAYLOR Deflated, I placed the schedule on Michael's desk before I left his office and walked back to my desk. Then I packed up my things to leave for the day and reaching the elevator, I saw Fernandez waiting.“Didn't you leave for a job?” I asked, surprised to see him.“I was told to take you home” he replied and I adjusted my bag on my shoulder. “Alright then. Let's go” I said and with that, we both got into the elevator and stood in silence as it went down to the parking lot.“What about your boss? Any idea where he rushed off to?” I asked and I felt his gaze on me while I stared ahead.“He left for an event. He was in a hurry because he's part of the hosts and he has to be there before it begins” he explained and I nodded as little of the hurt I was feeling started to go away once I knew why he ran out so fast like that.We arrived at the parking lot and Fernandez led me over to the car before he got the door to the backseat for me and I thanked him before getting in.

CHAPTER 78MICHAEL “It was so so”... Taylor's vague answer rang in my head as we had breakfast and I got a sense of dejavu as I wondered if she was distancing herself again.I wondered why she would do that but didn't ask. Instead, I said nothing as we made our way into the car and Fernandez drove us to the company.She didn't look my way in the car either. All she did until we arrived was stare out the window in silence. When Fernandez had the car parked in the parking lot, she got out before he could get the door for her and she didn't wait behind. Alone, she left for the office and that was when I concluded that she was indeed distancing herself from me again. Though, I had no idea why. So I decided to ask her by the end of the day. Together with Fernandez, we walked into the elevator. Then he handed me a flashdrive and I took it.“What's in here?” I asked and he nodded toward it.“Remember you asked me to monitor what Carlos has been up to these days?”“Yes, I remember. Have y

CHAPTER 80TAYLOR“Who does he think he is to talk to me that way? Why the hell would he suddenly care and want to know what’s wrong with me?” I murmured while aggressively rummaging through the kitchen for ingredients. Then I stopped for a moment to calm myself down, and after a moment, I felt stable.With that, I reached for the top cabinet to get something, and my heart fell when I saw it was finished. With a sigh, I closed the cabinet and walked out of the kitchen. Then I left for Michael’s room, and standing before the door, I wondered if it was okay to talk to him after the episode we had just had.But then again, i had to make dinner. So i had to talk to him. Whether I wanted to or not. So i dragged in a long breath and after mustering enough courage, i knocked on the door twice and i heard footsteps from the other side before the door was pulled open and he stood before me, shirtless.I tried not to look at his body because I was bent on not letting him sway me any onger. So i
