Chapter Thirty One : Ash?

NICHOLAS. "...the sales report for this month... SIR!"I looked up and saw my directors staring at me. "What?" I blurted."We are reviewing the sales for the month," one of them said. "I know."I ran a hand through my hair, frustrated.I couldn't concentrate.My thoughts were all over the place. It's all about this morning.Like the whole part of my body had the mind of its own.First, I asked about the girl. It wasn't even planned. I still can't figure out why I did that.Then the stupid baby monitor crackled.My chest tightened at the moment. The sound... her cries did something to me.I didn't even know when I walked to her door. A place I have ignored for so long. Seeing her trying to comfort her like her own... it made me feel something.Something similar to guilt...Her voice broke the trance and I left immediately. "This meeting is postponed," I said. They looked between each other. Confusion was clear in their eyes. This's unusual. "Till when, sir?"I cleared my thr

Chapter Thirty Two : Wear something fucking SEXY!

ASHLEY.I listened to Nick's friend talk about a childhood story. One that had my boss giving him murderous glance across the table. "Imagine little Nick with Kat's red lipstick all over his face, Ash."Ludacris Smith. He was popular too. The media labelled them as the handsome duo. He was more laid back and funny. "Nick really does know how to choose 'em." It’s the first thing he said to me when I opened the door for him. "Oh! I actually work here," I replied to him. I almost blushed at the thought of actually sleeping with my boss. I didn't want to say I was the Lucy’s nanny because I wasn't sure he knew about her. I was even surprised when he asked to see her. "Then you must know the child that lives here. Where is she?"Kat came to check up on me since it's taking so long. They acted like old friends before she took him to see Lucy. We only talked again in the living room where he asked for my name. And he immediately said he liked Ash better.He was hot too. But I coul

Chapter Thirty Three : Don't play with fire, Miss Walker.

NICHOLAS. I played with the pen between my fingers while Chris kept staring at me."What is the problem?" I asked when I couldn't ignore his eyes anymore. He leaned forward like he was waiting for me to say something. I closed the file that I was reading and gave him my attention. "You call her Miss Walker," he started. "Why?"I ran a hand through my hair, stressed. "It’s her name, isn't it?"He smirked. "She’s hot."I rolled my eyes at him. "I don't hookup with my employee.""Will you admit she's beautiful?"I sighed. "Miss Walker_""She isn't even here. Drop the formalities."I scoffed. "She’s alright."He smirked. "Well, she isn’t my employee." I immediately narrowed my eyes at him. Those words didn't sit well with me. I shut down the images threatening to taunt me in my head."You’re not going to hookup with my employee again," I seethed."Jesus!" he groaned. "Calm down.""Remember my assistant?" I asked. "The one you made resign after hooking up with her.""She knew it's jus

Chapter Thirty Four : Have you seen you?

ASHLEY. "Hey," I breathed out immediately I settled inside Molly's car.She raised an eyebrow. My cheeks were flushed.'Are you trying something, Ashley?' 'Don’t play with fire, Miss Walker.'How the tables managed to turn in just few minutes. I forgot I was dealing with certified cassanova. I was playing his game. "Are you okay?" Molly asked."Yeah."She gave me a I-don't-believe-you look. "Girl, don't forget I know you so well.""Something happened, that's all.""Obviously. You have that look," she smirked. I raised an eyebrow. "Which look?""The did-I-mess-up look."I scoffed in response. "I don't do that.""You overthink a lot for your own good."I sighed. "Maybe.""And I can't wait for you to spill the tea.""Good for you."She winked. "The cold Ashley great wall is breaking.""Are you okay?" I asked. "Why are you saying weird things today?""I am perfectly fine... haven't had a sip of alcohol today."I smirked. "You’re not acting it.""I am not the one thinking about a boy

Chapter Thirty Five : Da-da.

NICHOLAS. I scanned through my clothes, trying to decide on what to wear. I wanted something that screamed powerful in a subtle way. I swear it's not only girls that deal with this problem. Did the cold shower help? In a way, yes. It will only be effective if I get laid tonight. And don't see her until the Ashley Walker I was familiar with returned. I finally settled on a black Tom Ford jacket, tailored to perfection. Underneath was a white silk shirt with the top two buttons undone. I didn’t need a tie, or nnecessary accessories for my look. I chose a platinum Patek Philippe Calatrava. Quiet luxury. The kind of watch only a handful of people would recognize. Black tailored trousers completed the look, paired with matte Chelsea boots. No logos. No flashy designer prints. To complete the look, I wore an old signet ring on his right hand and hung my usual silver chain outside my shirt. Lastly, I sprayed my cologne before walking out. I found Chris easily in the living

Chapter Thirty Six : Ouch!

ASHLEY. "How hard is it to get a guy to buy us drinks?" Molly groaned out."I have been the one buying them," I responded. She rolled her eyes at me and I did the same."But, this place is fire," Molly screamed over the loud music.I nodded in agreement. "Let’s go do more shots.""Woah! Easy tiger."I pouted. "It has been so long.""I love this version of you, babe."I smirked before leading the way to the bar.This place was packed. It’s difficult to walk around.Molly stopped abruptly and I turned around to face her. She showed me her phone screen and I saw Matt was calling."Get the shots," she shouted. "I will join you shortly.""No sexting," I teased She blushed hard before sauntering off. I continued the walk to the bar and was lucky to find an empty stool. A cute bartender approached me with a smile. "What can I get ya, beautiful?""Something strong," I replied with a smile."Be ready to be surprised."I nodded and watched him work his magic. He slid me a glass of a red dr

Chapter Thirty Seven : Risky promises.

NICHOLAS. I extended my hand and waited for her to take it.I was going with the flow."You actually want to dance with me," she said."Even if you have two left feet," I smirked.I almost sighed in relief when she placed her hand in mine.Sparks flew through our hands and I pushed down the thoughts. I pulled her to the dance floor. We just stared at each other not wanting to take the lead.I chuckled lightly and she joined in. "Let’s actually do this."She nodded in agreement. "It’s just a dance with my boss."I gently wrapped my hands around her waist while trying not to stare down.The dress was still affecting some part of my mind."When you put it that way, it feels weird," I mumbled as her hand snaked around my neck. I glanced at Chris who's already smirking at me. I rolled my eyes at him as we continued slow dancing to the romantic song.The next song was sensual. It's supposed to be our cue to stop.But, we just kept staring at each other. "We_"She interrupted me by plac

Chapter Thirty Eight : What happens now?

ASHLEY. You do anything if I win.Those promises were reckless... dangerous. This night has been a lot. I will blame the alcohol on the dance and every word that spewed out of my mouth.The stupid dance. I still couldn't believe I danced with him like that. And now I wanted him to try out this burger. "We don't have all night," I groaned as he kept staring at it.Rich kids. I watched him bring it to his mouth and took the tiniest bite. I looked away as he chewed because I wasn't about to admit that the simple action was sexy.Like I said, it's the alcohol's fault. "So_" I trailed off. He didn't reply and took another bite. "It’s alright.""More than alright," I huffed. He shrugged. "So..."A smirk slowly curled up my lips. "You lost, boss.""You said you will do anything if I eat this," he smirked."And you will do anything if you finish it."Then he chuckled. "I haven't finished it."He took a bigger bite before tossing it into the trash bin at the corner. I gasped. "How
