191. Big shot

Glancing over at Pius, he is giving the man called Denzel the once-over with a raised eyebrow.I turn to the man, and damn, he is good-looking.No wonder he is called Denzel. I know about two people bearing that name, and they are all ridiculously attractive.Still… why would a Denzel be hugging my brother’s wife?Pius clears his throat sharply, and Aldine pulls away from him and looks over at us.“Oh, sorry. This is Denzel. We once did a collaboration together. He works with a high-end interior firm. Denzel, this is my husband, Pius Agary, and our daughter, Claribel. And this is his brother, Julian Agary.”Denzel is still shaking Pius’s hand when Aldine motions to me, and his eyes go wide.“The Julian Agary?” he asks in an almost astonished tone, and I nod cautiously. “A friend of mine works with you at Blemn. You’re Agnes Shema’s boss, aren’t you? She is one of my best talents ever, and your company is kind of keeping her from becoming a big shot in our industry. ”Keeping Agnes fr

192. Dear Moon Goddess, help me

~Agnes~I’m literally hurrying down to the Crimson Cafe, where I’m scheduled to meet Nessa, Ursula’s cousin and the client she’s introducing me to, with a large paper bag containing samples, material swatches, and miniature décor pieces for the client's supposed space.Finally walking up to Nessa’s table, she smiles at me. “You look so good, Aggy,” Nessa compliments.“Thank you so much,” I reply sweetly.“Please, have a seat,” Nessa says, gesturing to the empty chair beside her friend, who is still on a call and doesn’t look up. As I move to sit, she ends her call and lifts her head to acknowledge me, and I freeze.It is Tania fucking Beecroft.“Meet Miss Tania. She’s an ad expert and my best friend’s boss,” Nessa smiles. “Miss T,” she calls Tania, “meet Agnes, the genius interior designer I told you about,” Nessa introduces excitedly.“Hi. Good afternoon, ma’am,” I greet, adjusting quickly.“You… I know you,” Tania says, narrowing her eyes slightly before smiling. “You work at Agary

193. Has the world gone insane?

~Julian~ With Agnes representing me at a meeting with one of the small firms seeking a collaboration with our company, I decide to head home for the day after surviving a virtual meeting that lasted hours. I gather up my things and head out, but get stopped just as I reach the outer office door by a man carrying a large flower arrangement. "Can I help you with something?" I ask the man skeptically. Surely, he has to have the wrong office. Looking up from his clipboard, he looks around the office before answering. "I have a delivery for a Miss Agnes Shema." My lips drop for a brief second. Who the hell is sending her flowers? Is she seeing someone while we are... I don't even dare finish the thought. "Miss Shema has gone for lunch. She will be back in about an hour," I lie in a tone a bit rougher than usual. I want to get a look at the card, to know who the fool is. The fool who wants to choke a girl with overly large flowers. What the hell happened to perfumes, bags,

194. Richard Petridge

"Julian." My father calls me as he appears at the kitchen entrance. He motions for me to come to him. "I do have something I wanted to speak to you about," he says as we reach a space in the living room. "What is the update on the Caesar construction?" He asks in a serious tone. "We are about concluding on the deal," I say leisurely, taking a seat. "I have been scheduled for a meeting with the new CEO. I am yet to receive the full details and when the meeting is scheduled to be held. But I was told he is out of the country and is expected back in a week. Once he gets back, we will meet, and the deal will be sealed," I tell him. "That is my boy. I am glad you are handling this. I just knew instantly that you would be able to pull it off. I was initially worried. The former CEO was rumored to be a hard nut to crack. I am actually happy that his son is taking over. Young blood will do all of us some good," my father says. I follow my father back to the kitchen, ready to strangle P

195. We cannot do this

"Julian, you must be so glad to have someone like Aggs work for your company. Did you hear what she said? She graduated top of her class," I hear Richard say. Agnes coughs slightly, bringing her napkin up from her lap to cover her mouth. "Yes, it is absolutely amazing having Miss Shema work for our company. She always gets the job done," I reply to Richard. "Aw, Jules. That is so sweet of you," Aldine gushes. While everyone else smiles at the assumed endearment, Agnes's eyes shoot daggers at me. Then she smiles and looks over to Richard. "So tell me about you. Who is Richard?" Richard begins telling her about his childhood, going to school with Pius, and finally, he speaks about his successful accounting business. I watch her face lose its feigned interest, replaced instead by genuine intrigue. Jealous that she is chatting away happily with Richard and in dire need of some of her attention, I move my legs under the table, and once I feel those gorgeous legs of hers, I push them

196. Caught in the act

I run my lips down and across Agnes's collarbone to her shoulder.Shifting both her hands into one of mine, I reach down and slowly pull the string holding her dress together, kissing along the newly exposed skin.Moving to the other side, I repeat the same action and am soon rewarded when her dress slips down, revealing her incredible body.A gorgeous and sexy strapless black bra and color-matching underwear with tiny ribbons. Fuck.Does this woman own anything that does not look good?My mouth trails down to her breasts while my free hand moves to the clasp of her bra.There is no way I am missing the sight of her bare bosom this time. It opens easily, and the gorgeous piece falls away.Even though I had wanted to see it on her much longer, I know we do not have the time. The sight of her bare skin reveals the vision that fills every one of my fantasies. Taking one pink nipple into my mouth, she moans loudly, and her knees buckle slightly. "Shh," I whisper against her skin. I li

197. caught in the act 2

~Agnes~The moment Julian opens the door, and we come face to face with Aldine, I freeze.Awkward tension drools between all of us as Aldine stands with her arms folded and eyebrow raised.We march behind Aldine to one of the empty rooms on the third floor. Julian and I sit down, while Aldine starts pacing."Well, is this not cozy? What exactly were you two doing in there?" She asks suspiciously, her eyes moving between the two of us.Heat spreads over my skin as I run over in my head everything she could have heard.Julian looks helpless as he exchanges a glance with me, and we turn back to Aldine.I shake my head. "Nothing. Julian and I just had something to discuss. That is all." I reply, trying to play it off, but my nervous laughter gives me away.Aldine shakes her head, her eyes more on Julian than me. "I heard noise in there, and it certainly wasn't from talking," she says in a firm tone. "And even if I did not know you both so well, it is no secret that since you started worki

198. Girls time out

~Agnes~Reporting sick just to avoid work is something I’ve never done in my entire life. But when I woke up today, I knew I wasn’t ready to face Julian… not yet.It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, though. I spent the day curating concept boards, material palettes, and drafting layout ideas for Tania’s home.By evening, I’ve accomplished so much that I can’t help but feel proud of myself.My phone beeps, and I pick it up immediately. It’s a message from Aldine.“[Aggs,Do you mind a little business chat after work? I’ll be at the Vespa. Pius is coming along too. I want to discuss a collaboration, and he wants to make sure I’m not trying to poach you into ditching Smith & Agary.]”Relief settles in as I read the message. For a moment, I’d thought Pius’s presence might have something to do with last night.Another message comes in from Ursula.“[Got into Greymark University for my Masters. Celebration at the shooting range after work.]”Now that’s some good news.I glance at th

199. Wrecker

"What? What are you saying?" Agnes asks.I’m still speechless at this point."I am serious, Aggy. Thomas is back in Lilycity. I hear that Smith and Agary is partnering with a Glovida, a small firm, to pursue a tower construction contract with the Ceaser groups, Thomas Maclwin’s company. Glovida is to create a mind-blowing ad piece, and Smith and Agary will execute the building project. Thomas's father was the one dealing with Julian initially. But now that Thomas is back, his father is stepping back to give him the reins."“The hell, Ursy, how do you know all this?”“Are you for real. You want to play with an asset like me?” Ursy chuckles“Industry machine,” I tease Ursula, and she laughs happily. “But is what she said true?” I ask Agnes, who nods slowly.“Yes, it is. But… It's still under wraps. I’m shocked that Ursy would have this many details.”Ursula shrugs, “not snitching on my source.”“So, is Thomas' return good or bad news?” I ask."Bad news.” Agnes groans. “Oh dear! I cannot

200. Allister is not faithful

~Jess~After an evening with the girls, I’m left completely exhausted. So, exhausted that I can't wait to get home, take a shower, and have a cool sleep.As we get closer to the house, I open my phone and forward a text to Allister: “[How is your evening going? Have you been able to sort through the pile of files on your desk?]”He did say that he needs to sort through some urgent pack files and won’t be able to make it to the medical center to pick me up.I wait for a while, but there's no reply from him, so I shrug. I guess he's very busy.My emergency driver drops me off in front of my apartment, and as instructed, he stays in the car to make sure I'm safely inside before leaving.Allister’s recent worries about my safety have become so ingrained in me that I take quick glances as I head in.The elevator ride to my floor is uneventful, but as I approach my apartment door, a familiar scent makes my steps falter.Dominic.The distinctive fragrance of his perfume reaches me before I
