Ellie“Babe seriously how are you able to work in the same environment as him? You know this is risky as fuck,” Reina says while taking a bite of her ice cream. I still wonder how anyone can take a bite of ice cream without having that sharp sensitivity pain in the teeth. Reina has just been built differently.“You know a girl has to do what a girl has to do. I am the sole provider at home plus I know how to play my cards well. So far so good. Plus did I tell you that I lost my pendant on the day of the heist? At first, I thought it was still at the company and that was another reason I took the job, I do not want it to fall into the wrong hands but now I am starting to think I dropped somewhere else. I have looked everywhere in the company without luck. Plus if the police had it wouldn’t I be in jail right now, right?”“Yes, that is some incriminating evidence. Just take care of yourself though and play low in the company, it is just for 6 months right?”“Yes, plus I am out of th
AdrianI will admit it was so sexy to see her stand up for herself like that. I did not know that side of her, she seemed so timid at first but damn! I cannot keep my eyes off her the entire time in the boardroom. I was angry at her for coming in late but she just melted that away. Mr. Kavowski is known for such behavior and any typical city girl would have fallen for his charms for some dollars, the guy is stinking rich. I think I now hate Ellie a little less, too early to call it like so let me stick to that. After Meghan, I tread carefully when it comes to feelings. I had to go to therapy after her betrayal and I am sure as hell not going through that ever again. I do not want to be left picking up the pieces again. Why am I thinking about this? I am not going to fall for Ellie I do not even like the girl.*One Year Earlier*“Babe hurry up, you are making all the excitement fade away, isn’t she darling?” I say to my 9-year-old. We are finishing up our cereal and getting ready to
EllieI get up early and do my usual morning routine before leaving the house. I have on a black suit, a floral scarf, and black heels. I feel quite powerful yet sexy in my outfit today. I still cannot forget the sleazy man I encountered the other day during the meeting and thinking about it makes me angry every single time. Who raised these men? Anyway, I will not let anything disrupt me or my good moods today so I quickly finish making my dad breakfast before driving off to work. Lately, he has been in the best of health and this makes me so happy, he is my whole world. The sun is already shining, the sky is clear and I hear the birds singing melodiously, what would go wrong on such a beautiful day? Not even Adrian’s moody behavior can bring me down today. I walk into the company and even say hi to Angela which she does not respond but I do not give two fucks as I walk into my office carrying my favorite cup of coffee. I get into my emails and find an email from an upcoming company
AdrianI am so excited today as I get to spend it with my daughter, Amy. It was so hard to get Meghan into co-parenting ever since she moved out of the house. I will admit it has been extremely lonely living alone in such a big house even with the workers in. It kind of reminds me of the days back in university as a bachelor. I get to have Amy on weekends as I am very busy during weekdays. I am driving to Meghan’s while blasting off some old RnBs. I wonder if Ellie is having a good day, why am I even thinking of Ellie? Our last encounter was when I found her talking about me with that best friend of hers. I was a teeny bit offended that she would not want to give me a boner I am not sure why but I was. I mean she looked so sexy in that suit. I had to keep reminding myself not to stare. It was a bit cheeky of me to comment about it though but I want to get in her head so bad. Still, I do not know why but I just do. I am deep in my thoughts as I pull over to Meghan’s. I hate this place
Ellie“Oh my God! Why didn’t you tell me he is that hot? Damn, Ellie, you made it seem like he was a devil but trust me if that is how the devil looks like I do not mind being his demon. Did you see those biceps? I bet he works out,” Reina says immediately Adrian is out of sight sounding a bit too excited.“He is not all that, trust me he is bitchy, arrogant and so rude,” I say and at this point, I am not sure if I still believe he is that bad.“You say that because you are into him as much as he is into you. I can see it in both your eyes no matter how much you deny it.”“Hell no, I hate him,” I say as I move away from Reina. I am such a bad liar and even I could see that I did not mean that I hated the guy. I do not like him but I do not think it is hate.“You know what bestie, I wish you could be true to yourself and let yourself explore whatever this is,” Reina says holding my hand.“No, I can’t let myself close to him, I stole from the man. I cannot hide that from him if we
Adrian“I do not know man, I just went to the hospital as fast as I could. Something in me told me it was the humane thing to do,” I say as I swing my golf stick. I hate golf but Leo loves it so he sometimes manages to drag me out for golf. Today is one of those days that he succeeds plus I need to talk to him about what is happening with me and Ellie.“I knew you would fall for her. She is your type man, what are you waiting for?” He asks as he pats me.“Man I am not sure what is happening honestly and I am scared. I do not want to be in love, I cannot handle that right now with the company falling apart,” I say as we drive to wherever the fuck I had just thrown my golf ball.“There is no good or bad time for Cupid to strike, she just does. Just make sure you do not lose the love of your life because you are startling.”“How do you know Cupid is a she?”“It just makes sense for her to be a she, how can she be a he? Girls love bows and pink arrows,” he says as we get to the golf b
EllieI am standing there at the door looking at my boss with two different flowers in his hands. He looks so good and casual. His muscles threatening to burst out of that so-fitting t-shirt he is wearing. I have never seen him so casual, so beautiful and the cap just accentuates it all. He doesn’t have to put much effort to look good. I had just spent the whole morning looking for the perfect outfit and applying makeup. I did not want to do too much but still not too little. I still cannot she off the fact that he asked me for a date. Adrian Sage asked me out on a date! I realized that I had stood at the door staring at this man for a couple of seconds now.“Hi, I am so sorry. Come on in,” I say ushering him in. Dad was in his sick chair in the living room watching some TV. I lead him to the living room. It is a bit small but since it has been me and Dad it is quite sufficient.“These are for you,” he says handing me some beautiful pink tulips and a box. “These are for you Sir, I wi
AdrianI run into the company building. No, this cannot be happening again. I almost trip on the stairs as I approach the reception area. What the actual fuck! God knows I cannot handle another break-in.I get to the corridor leading to the server room. Dave and some IT people are there. A pang of fear fills in my stomach.“So, what happened? I ask immediately after I get there and there is panic written all over my face.“It was a false alarm, Sir. Sandra from billing was trying to access some of the computers here and ever since the incident anyone who is not part of the IT was denied access to the room from our system,” Dave says as I sigh in relief.“Did she know that she could not access it?”“No, we had not informed other departments due to confidentiality. She thought just as before she could be able to get in. Once she tried, the alarm went off and notified all of us,” Dave says as he follows me across the room.“Did she say what she wanted to do in here?” I ask as I star
