Out of concern, Cassie rushed downstairs and saw a crowd already gathered at the receptionist’s office. At first glance, she thought she had been bullied. But on a closer look, she discovered that it was their job applicants at it again. Emily, the receptionist, was not even as calm as she appeared. She would definitely talk back at anyone who gets on her nerve. Little wonder how she was given that position, maybe it was because of the cute smile she wore. They had begged to see Mr. Grey but she kept saying he was temporarily unavailable. She forcefully made her way to the front of the crowd feeling quite terrible already. “Hey guys,” Cassie shrieked. Immediately the other staff saw her, they dispersed to their various offices. She stared at them in amazement. “I need you two to calm down” she added. They turned towards her direction spontaneously and for some uncharted reason, they stopped arguing and faced her. “Could you please sit while I attend to you two?”, she spoke sl
Miss Lance laid on the couch watching the puffy clouds with its dazzling texture from her window while creating beautiful pictures on her mind. She was rather nervous and excited at the same time to go on a dinner date with her boss. She had been longing for such moments so she knew she would have to spend a lot of time working on herself. She wanted to appear with that perfect look of Princess Qajar, an iconic beauty symbol of Persia. She had invited her best friend, Scarlett, over to her house to make her over. Even though she knew Scarlett was always devoted to her work, she hoped for a positive response. Pushing a bit forward, she picked up her girdle from the table where she had kept it earlier and wore it. She wanted to slim down her natural waistline to get an hourglass figure. She did not want anything that will steal her boss’ attention from her that evening. At the thought of that, she heard her phone beep. She hurried to check and saw a message from her friend, Scarlett
Her eyes met a man, not just any man but a handsome man. He had a Platinum blonde hair and scythe shaped eyebrows. His hawkish nose and defined cheekbones sat above an oaken jaw. She would have assumed he was a model but he had a manly, Samson physique. His almond shaped hazel eyes were afire with passion and delight. She could not take her eyes off him. Suddenly, he turned his face towards her direction but she quickly looked away and pretended to focus on her phone, feeling tensed already. She stole another glance at him and unfortunately their eyes met. Prisca tried to control her breathing as she started experiencing hot flashes which spurred her to take multiple sips of the wine in front of her. She wished he had averted as she began to feel restless, while subconsciously comparing him to her boss. He wore ritzy clothes with an enchanting smile. She wondered why he stood at the balcony of a room in the hotel. On the other hand, when he turned and caught a glimpse of her, he n
They stumbled into the room and he stopped to close the door, ignoring the passion that was building up between them. His faith in social goodwill was bolstered as he turned to look at her. He watched her as she gently removed her shoes and adjusted the hem of her dress. The cologne she wore was sophisticated and sultry, making him want to run his nose over every inch of her body. ‘Damn it!’ he murmured as a calculated smile flashed on his sexy lips. He imagined shifting those curls on her hair behind her ear and dropping a soft kiss on her neck. It sent burning flames down his groin and her exposed cleavages were not doing anything to control him. Realizing she was a complete stranger, he dropped his face down in disappointment, trying to erase every dirty thoughts he had about her from his mind. He moved some inches away from the door and sat on the bed, unconsciously snapping his fingers and looking very puzzled. He took a deep breath as he sat down beside her, giving a swift t
Grey stiffened in his stance. Never had he seen a lady so confident as she was. He took in a deep breath to let the tension out. "Well, Miss Peyton, you're always free to make suggestions and of course you may be right. I'm glad you're finally out with it. Mind if I give you a ride? Cassie inhaled sharply to calm herself. Did he just offer to give me a ride? Then she gave a soft laugh, with hurt piercing through her heart when she recalled she had seen him in a romanticising position with a brunette already. "I really do mind, boss. Have your damn ride with the brunette." She shrieked and stormed off. A pang of frustration hit him as he saw her off with his eyes then he noticed something falling out of her bag and walked over to the spot. He picked up the keys she had left behind and smiled to himself like he had the best idea ever. Something was certainly not going to be right. Grey had dismissed the lady she came with and waited for Cassie but she always had a way of turning
"What a horrible idea this was!" A stink of regret sat in her stomach as she stared at her sister, Chloe, in the facetime call they were having. She had never gone on a date with anyone in the past 26 years of her life. Weird? Her mother raised them as celibates after two failed marriage and an ocean worth of love drama that had to do with her past. Not wanting her babies to experience this particular maelstrom of shattered promises and lingering disappointments, she made them take a vow of celibacy. "Tell me it's a joke Cass, you're not really going to wear that. Are you?" Chloe cringed at the purple corporate dress she wore. It was a very thick cashmere material with a long sleeve and a collar at the neck region typically suitable for a business meeting. "I love it, makes me feel a bit warm and you know, comfortable." She smiled happily. "I know right? Amazingly gorgeous but could you please take it off? It's not a dinner meeting for crying out loud. You have a pile of clothe
The morning sun cast shadows on Prisca's room. Scarlett had fallen asleep on the couch while waiting for her best friend to return. Bright rays of light travelled through her eyes causing it to twitch as she tried to force it open."Indeed, there is joy in the morning," she said, feeling better than she was the previous night.She reached for her phone on the table to check the time. It was already past 7:00am and she knew she would be late for work since her best friend didn't return. She went ahead to dial her number but surprisingly, it was switched off. Numerous thoughts slowly clouded her mind. "No!" She exclaimed, "this is not the right time to cogitate. For all I know, Prisca must have followed her boss home." She stood up, stretched and walked lazily to the kitchen to prepare breakfast while being optimistic that before she's done with the food, her best friend would definitely return. She hurriedly cleaned the house while stopping consecutively to
Scarlett turned to the direction of his voice and bit her lip. Though she was delighted to see her, she got frustrated with the fact that Mr. Grey was attracted to her. Prisca had once told her about his weak spot for slim curvy ladies but she was skeptical about it. And to think she was thick, she literally had to stop the vaguely erotic ogles she was making at him. If she got a silver for each time someone told her she would have been more beautiful if she lost a little weight, she figured out she would probably be rich. Her heart skipped beats as she watched them lock in an embrace. "Am I jealous?" she thought. She increased her pace and interrupted them, forcing him to pull away. "Prisca!" she shouted, "I would have probably killed myself if I didn't set my eyes on you." Prisca blushed at the unexpected statement. "It's just one night and you wanted to go off the rails?" Scarlett piped up, "I missed you so much." "Don't make it seem like you're the only one who cares about h
