059. MONIQUE'S POV "Good morning Monique, the boss is waiting for you in his office." Jane opens my office door and props her head in. I look up from my system. It's still early, what does Desmond need me for this early morning in his office? I flip through the papers on my desk again, just yesterday I realized there's a pressing promotion for a certain Mia's cosmetics that has to be done before this week over. "Jane, you and James will be part of my subcommittee. We need to work for Mia's cosmetics ad." "Monique? The boss called for you." She says it again, louder again as if I'm deaf. "Fine, I'll go attend to the boss." I get up from my seat, put on my blazer and pick up my phone. "Call James, please you two should start prepping in my office. I'll return shortly." I fix my hair and face before stepping out. This should better be worth it. I walk straight to Desmond door and knock once on the door before stepping in. Desmond is sitting behind his desk, with his back leaning on t

061. MONIQUE'S POVWhat is he talking about? I stare at him, waiting for him to say more but he couldn't say anything more. He wouldn't even meet my eyes. Fine, I chuckle and walk out. Now he's planting seeds of doubt in my friendship but he won't explain himself further. I move straight to the restroom and lock myself inside one of the rooms. I lean against the wall, and dail Rose's number. "Hey... Sorry I cut the call while you were still talking. What did you want to discuss with me?""Uhm...Yes, I remember. I wanted to ask you that when we linked up in New York because Ryan and I already discussed it once, but I keep forgetting."I squeeze my face in a confused frown. What is she trying to say to me?"The written allegations against evergreen enterprises, and all the defences you all put up for alternative dispute resolution was in your custody, right? I think the moving and parking must have misplaced some the copies he had in his possession, he could need the copies you have in

63. MONIQUE'S POV Our lips stay pressed to each other for good five seconds before the actual kiss happens, and when I feel his lips move against mine... it's really short of expectation. It has nothing to do with James kissing abilities because the way ladies flock him at the office proves he's an expert, the problem is I'm comparing him to Desmond and unlike Desmond's kisses, his doesn't set anything in me on fire. Maybe if I had kiss him before Desmond, this kiss couldn't feel so...bland? Wrong? I feel his tongue at the back of my throat and I nearly choke. It's hot when Desmond does it, buy what the hell? Okay, I take that as my sign to break the kiss. And when I do, the entire staff room erupts in claps and cheers, if only they knew how...bad it felt. James gently place my face on the crook of his neck, and smooth my back. He helps me to my feet and we both turn to find Desmond glaring at us from the door post. "Oh shit Monique, this lips of yours have just rendered me jobless

65. DESMOND'S POV I rub my hands over my face and let out a rough sigh. I don't fucking know why I keep getting drawn to Monique like a damn magnet, and now I've resulted to pranking her with her own job. I think I'm addicted, and I hate it. There's really no need for Monique to do anything. If she knew I've forwarded one of Mia's rejected samples to Sylvia and she's working to get Mia's acceptance, Monique won't do shit for me and that's the exact reason she doesn't need to know.I twirl my chair around and look out through the window. Now, what will I do with James? He really had the audacity to kiss my woman in front everyone... she's not not your woman! Oh, shut up I've marked her even if just for physical pleasure. I own her now, I mean the agreement said everything.A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts and I jerk lightly. "Your coffee's set." Monique says behind me as she sets the mug on my desk. She clears her throat. "Which of the files do you want me to hand to you?"

67. MONIQUE'S POV I go completely still as I strain my heart to hear what she has to say. She continues. "We've resumed work as you instructed and Mia's accepted one of the old pitches we sent and the work is completed."I gasps, them quickly cover my mouth before Jane hears me. "Very well, then. Thanks for letting me know." He says courtly and ends the call. "You...you just saved my career?" I don't understand why would Desmond do this for me? Why didn't be tell me from the start? "Thank you!" I shriek and hug him out of excitement. My tits bounce against his chest and it feels fucking right.He kiss my neck, up till my jawline. "No need to say thank you. It's only a matter of time, Monique you'll end up as mine and thank me properly."And after we break the hug, I look between us and realize this isn't love. I just slept with him to save my career and just like that the romantic moment is over, and for the brief moment while it lasted I saw him as human. I struggle to my feet al
