“Soph, where are you rushing to?” My brother inquired as I threw my cosmetics into my box.“Will you be alright?” I asked him calmly while zipping the box.“I’m traveling for the new job, I’ll be back in a week I suppose “ I continued as he kept mute.I’ll bring gifts for you and mom. Give me a hug” I added as I pulled him into my arms.“Be safe, Sophia ““I will “ I said pecking his cheeks before racing to the car . I had like forty minutes left.“Are we good to go ma’am?” The driver asked .“Edgar yeah?, did I get the name right?”“Yes ma’am ““Okay. We are not going to the office until I get a dinner gown”“So where to?”“I’ll direct you”It wasn’t long before we reached the familiar gates of my best friend’s home.“Sophia!, how are you?” Angela asked as she hugged me tightly.“I’m good “ I said with a smile.“You just missed Paris” she said as I walked in.I wasn't surprised, ever since her date she has been excited and eager to always go out with him.Luckily, I was occupied with

The meeting was quite interesting, everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I quietly sat behind Leonard taking down the minutes of the meeting.I was later invited to join them for the actual lunch and I agreed happily. I was served at a separate table with the view of pedestrians walking by and doing their various activities .I enjoyed the view as I ate the medium rare steak and corn soup I ordered. It was delicious, the first time I had tasted such fine cuisine and I felt privileged wishing Stan and mom could taste this.“How is it?” Leo asked calmly as he sat on the empty seat at the table.“Best thing I’ve tasted this year. Thank you” I said gratefully with a light smile.He returned my smile and his hazel eyes looked so alluring as the sunlight beamed across his face.My heart skipped as I remembered the way those eyes looked down on me as his fingers moved inside me.My face felt hot and I quickly looked away and focused on the businessmen across from us.“The meeting went to you

“I need you here in the next forty five minutes Miss Pronto” Leo said on the phone call.“Saturday is not a working day, sir” I replied wearily as I yawned once more.“Not for you. You wanted to do your job as a professional. Be here as soon as possible ““Fine” I said as I hung up the call.My phone rang again and I answered.“What was that for?” He questioned.“You weren’t done talking?” I asked in confusion.“I was, but I end the calls Miss Pronto” he stated arrogantly.“You interrupted my sleep to say this?” I snapped angrily as I heard him scoff .“Look-“ I began as he cut the call.I hated how easily he riled me up. I rushed into the shower to freshen up.It wasn’t long before I was ready, I put on a simple baby pink gown and my black plumps. I cringed at how worn out the dhows looked but since I had no choice, I had grabbed my bag and went to the kitchen.“Mom, I’m heading out!” I shouted from the kitchen. There was no answer.I frowned at the silence. I knew Stan went for his

I felt the cold air hit my body as I stood slowly and headed towards the bathroom.Half asleep, I washed my face and took a moment to take in my appearance and surroundings.We were back at the house it seemed.I stood only in an oversized T-shirt. My undies no where to be found.Hopefully we didn’t do anything I would regret later or desire.Gosh, he looked so yummy last night.I brushed my teeth with the new toothbrush I found in the cabinet as I remembered that I was supposed to go home last night.I rushed to get my phone when I realized Leonard wasn’t in bed.I woke up alone.My heart dropped and I felt awkwardly sad.I enjoyed last night so much, and somehow I convinced myself to accept my feelings for Leo.I brushed my feelings aside and checked my call logs.11 missed calls from Stan.Panic rushed in, as my thoughts anxiously wondered what could have happened.I redialed his number, praying for all to be well.He didn’t pick.Without hesitation, I changed into casual wear. Wit

He’s unavailable for now” Natasha said as I rolled my eyes.That’s been her excuse for the past three days.Leo has been dismissive and aggressively focused on work.I spent more time in the office because that’s the only time I can spend with him.“Let me go in, please “ I pleaded with annoyance.“I don’t recommend-““We both know he needs someone to talk to” I interrupted.“It’s affecting his work, and you know he won’t ask for help” I added persistently.“His work is not affected ““You weren’t around when we had the board meeting on Thursday”“Okay and?” She asked with a cocked brow.“The merger meeting on Tuesday morning ““Go straight to the point”“It’s becoming noticeable, something is going on with Leo and you know it”“Mr. Shiva is unavailable for now” she stated again as she stood firmly in front of the entrance.I sighed heavily at her adamant behavior.“I’m just trying to help” I calmly said.“Like I said-“ she started“What’s happening here?” I turned to face the owner o
