He is waiting for her to speak but all she did is stare at him, unable to say something. "About you getting pregnant and blackmailing me. Sorry, I dozed off" he yawns after his brief reminder while she watches in silence. "Don't worry, you won't have a chance to blackmail me" He seriously added in a dismissing tone. And a warning at the same time."Sleep. You only have a few hours before the sun rises. Your team will be expecting you at the luncheon meeting later" Tucking her under his chin, he tightens his hold on her. Hugging her closer like it's the most natural thing between them. Surreal, that is how she feels while in his arms. The natural scent of his skin mixed with the soap he used calms not only her nerves but her troubled mind. It's been an eventful day, she needs to sleep.She snoozed for a few hours but before the sun rises she woke up. It's her body clock waking her at five-thirty in the morning. It's Nico's toilet time.

She went out, already in an elegant attire paired with her calm disposition. "Ready?" He calls out from the receiving area upon spotting her come out of the room. She walks toward him to find him with documents and an open MacBook. He has been working while she sleeps naked until midday. She was quite embarrassed but he seem to not mind. Seeing him in broad daylight and in work mode gives out a striking vibe. An intimidating one. A glimpse of how serious CEO Xander Wright is with work. However, the imprints on his neck are unsuitable for his imposing aura. Thinking about her carelessness added to the embarrassment she had already been enduring. He can't go out with those marks. And hasn't he noticed it yet? Why is he not confronting her until now?"Let's eat. It's almost lunchtime" he added after walking closer to her. His casualness is placating amid her qualms.Quietly, she let him lead her to the dining table. She, too is famished. Reaching the dining, a meticulously arranged

After leaving the penthouse, she didn't let any Wright personnel accompany her. Their job ended the moment she steps outside of the suite room. And despite their persistence, she won the argument. Instead of joining Harry and the team at the luncheon gathering, she went to her room. She longs to talk to her son. Spent several minutes, close to an hour listening to his rants for not having been able to say good morning to him earlier. Hearing her son so riled made her feel guilty rather than irritated. So she took her time to listen to him, unbothered by the passing of time. It was almost one o'clock when she enters the venue. She looks around to find her team and spotted them with a group of familiar faces she met last night. The gathering is a casual get-together. Most of the guests are just lounging while chatting. "Hello, Skye. You look great. Nice hair" Dina was the first to greet her and her eyes stayed on her demurely made-up hair. "Good for you, you had time to visit a salo

"This way, please" The moment H&M Creative Ads's team arrived at the door of the private function hall, a waiter immediately ushered them to a certain table. "I'm so glad your team could join me tonight, CEO Miller" Director Amergusso welcomes them with a polite smile."The honor is ours, Director Amergusso" Harry receives the woman's hand for a firm handshake. Skype and the rest followed. The intimate dinner commences and while several pairs of eyes watch the particular table of WGC executives with their guests, another commotion happened at the entrance."Ladies and gentlemen, we are glad to announce that we have been honored by the presence of our hardworking CEO tonight" Director Amergussso gracefully stands from her seat to make the announcement. "Despite his busy schedule, CEO Xander graces us with his time" she added with a smile amid the loud applause.Skye is among those who are ecstatic by the CEO's attendance at the dinner. She thought all the while, he won't be seeing

But the man seems to have not heard her or he just refuses to respond. "What did you say again?" She insists."You can address whatever queries you have to the CEO, Miss Monticello. We are not allowed to speak on his behalf" politely, he smiles as he bows at her. With nothing she could do to force him to speak, she decided to let him off the hook.But there's no way she would do what he suggested. She doesn't have the courage to ask Xander. Afraid she will just hurt herself. Anyways, whatever his agenda with other women is none of her business. What's between them is just temporary. Once she returns home, she plans to finish all her commitments. And then she will reassess her life. She can't just continue to be reckless. If it's best to stop chasing her dream to be in the corporate world, then be it. Nico's safety comes first and if it means she has to return to the farm and tend the soil as her family has been doing for decades, then she will. Just to keep her son from the vast a

"I have full faith we will win the contract" Robert is so ecstatic as they gather together with documents on top of their table. The contract Harry just signed with the Wright Group of Companies. Contrary to what Xander said earlier, the result was immediately announced the same day he left. Director Amergusso personally calls for them to announce H&M acquired it.Skye and Dina are smiling the entire time Harry presented the documents. She just finished her breakfast when she got a message from Harry to meet him at the restaurant. After winning the argument she had with him about the joke she told, he peacefully conceded. But left her a stern reminder about their previous discussion. Despite fighting herself not to be ecstatic about Xander's plans, she failed. Now, she is looking forward to if he indeed keeps his word. And the news Harry gave them, put her in an anxious excitement. A complicated dilemma. She wanted to escape Xander's grasp as far as she could. But a huge part of

Speechless, she stares back at him. She can't discern why he wastes his valuable sleep to be on the road to pick her up at the airport. He has a lot of people to do it for him. "It's midnight" She mumbles, still in disbelief."I know what time it is, Miss Monticello" he snickers while patting the spot next to him. Without thinking much, she transfers next to him. And immediately, his arms rounded her, pulling her for a hug. Which she didn't resist.It's not time to be modest. With her arms wrapped around him, she lay her head on his shoulder. It feels like they are a real couple who have not seen each other for quite a while. It's surprisingly fulfilling now that they are together. "Congratulations. H&M acquires the contract. Director Amergusso has all praise for you. She even met with me to expedite its approval" He casually relays while nuzzling his lips on her forehead. She feels adored by the attention she is getting from him. "Thank you. We have a great team" She mumbles wit

Skye stepped inside the enormous office while Collins holds the door for her. And the first thing she saw is the dark look of the man behind the massive African blackwood table. "What took you so long? Is the marketing department this far from my office that it took you twenty-five minutes to reach here?" Halting midstep, she was taken aback by his outrage. She hasn't even reached halfway toward his table but she was already welcomed by his angry tirades. "Good afternoon, CEO Wright. I'm sorry for the delay" Whilst his sharp gaze bore into her, she greeted him politely. She can't understand why he is throwing fits in the presence of his assistant. "It could only take you ten minutes, at most, to come up here, Skye" he continue with his grim tone amidst her fair warning. "What are you doing?" In a whisper, she incredulously raves while still trying to be discreet. "What took you so long? Did you have several stops to say hello to your admirers?" Still not dropping his irritation,
