All Chapters of A Mistress' Affair : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

“Caught the wedding-of-the-year headlines,” Nirvana heard a chirpy voice beside her and turned to see Laura, her assistant and colleague, walking beside her as she tried to get her card firmly around her neck. “There is a rumor that you wouldn’t be able to claim your crown this year too.”Nirvana knew that they were talking about the award she got yearly.When she started like any other normal employee, she threw everything she had into working for the company. Her hard work didn’t go to waste and she climbed the ranks very rapidly. One of her hallmarks was the yearly ticket she collected at the Jules Award Ceremony when it was due, along with the gift that came with it.Nirvana raised a brow at the woman. “Where did you hear that?”“Everyone is on it,” Laura dropped her voice conspiratorially. “They are excited by the prospect. They believe that everything was handed to you on a platter of gold.”Nirvana expected as much. She had her share of difficult seniors, jealous colleagues and

“Did you find out what I requested, Laura?” Nirvana asked with a serious expression and Laura nodded firmly and placed the file on the desk.“Yes. Ophelia Davis was one of the clients that we have been managing perfectly and was about to close major deal with no record of stain or disagreement, but miraculously over the weekend had switched over to the next team and there are in the phrase of negotiation and no matter what we did, she wasn’t even ready to listen to us.” Laura explained with mildly furrowed brows. “The second part of the file is based on what I gather —it may not be the full picture. I suggest you read that yourself.” She replied, and Nirvana nodded.“Thank you, this would work just fine too.” She replied, and Laura nodded before she left her office.Nirvana flipped through the file and read the content carefully, before a small smirk tugged at her lips. It was no wonder she had a bad feeling about the client that was stolen from them, she stared at the woman in the pi

The night lights decorated the sides of the street and casted a bright glow on the road as few cars passed by.Nirvana continued to stare at her car and she blinked to confirm what she was seeing as night chill settled over her body and she felt her hand stop shaking but nothing stopped the loud beat of her heart.Nothing.There was nothing ahead of her, nothing on the side she stared.No shattered glass, no noise, no flipped car, no burst tires and definite—and quite shockingly—no truck.What remained there was her car whose door she left ajar and had swerved to an awkward position when she scrambled for her life which was in the illusion of danger.Did she just imagine a near death experience?She had never had anything like this whenever she drove her car to and fro.Was this the result of being on the same road where she had been hit and burnt to death?Was this an aftermath of trauma? Nirvana wondered if she should expect such hallucinations again.Nirvana blinked again, a hand o

“I still can’t believe that you managed me to drag me to this insufferable gala,” Leah grumbled, and Nirvana scoffed at her.“Stop whining since you are here already and socialize. Maybe one of these many people here would be happy to see you and endorse you,” Boris chided, this earned him a glare from Leah.“How wouldn’t I whine? Of course, I would.” Leah huffed. “Charity gala my ass, look at every one of them sucking up to one another as if they really didn’t want to stick knives in each other back in the shadows.”The party was bustling with life and the after taste of both New Year and Christmas decoration, the whole yard was twinkling with beautiful light and there was no doubt the smell of wealth in the air.The guest who were present at the party had already formed group of business people—donned in their ever expensive suit and dresses—discussing their trade, smiling, laughing and pretending to be enjoying the presence of the person next to them while toasting and sipping down

A collective gasp ran throughout the crowd, both Derek and Kaitlyn had finally driven this woman who was barely getting her act together and appeared strong up the wall and made the woman crazy. She actually dared to slap a Moore and still continued to stare down at them arrogantly, at that moment they totally forgot that Nirvana wasn’t the heiress of another prestigious family because of the heavy amount of dominance that exuded from her.Derek steadied Kaitlyn with a firm grip on her shoulders, but his jaw clenched in rage. He approached Nirvana predatorily but Nirvana just continued to stare at him head-on, waiting for him to do whatever he wanted to do.Nirvana’s eyes lacked most shred of sanity, Ophelia wrapped her hand tightly, Boris and Leah stepped forward protectively while the crowd around stared at Derek with bated breath. But when he got to her, he only gripped her jaws so tight that bruises started to form and glare at her so intensely that Ophelia who wanted to protect
