Octavia sighed as she heard the voice."Ha ha ha, why did you use another number to call me Sofia, don't you trust me at all?" She asked."Just hurry to the company or else I'm leaving this office now." The call was disconnected and Octavia sighed.She Chuckled as the picture of Sofia and the Italian Investors crowded in the meeting room, with Sofia fidgeting her buttons came to her head.Sofia has helped her a lot.As some may say that love smells like roses...she didn't believe that.Friendship smelt like roses and cinnamon.The best relationship one could ever have.When her work had rolled in line with her business, Sofia had stood up with her and worked out their friendship.She was the kindest person she had ever met

Chapter 12 OctaviaShe had said a piece and she had left him there to think about it.She was not like those models he'd use and then throw away.Yes, she had been attracted to him at first but hell! He had been too much of a prude to know that.She sighed, dropping her things on her table."Ma'am, we're having a late night party to send one of our own away..will you join us?" The team leader asked, dropping a can of energy drink in front of her.She nodded, smiling at him and picking the can up."Yes, I will."

She said, staring at him as he star
Chapter 13Leaving the office, the club was not the place Octavia had wanted to go, but then she had promised them she would go with them so there was no backing down.She walked in to the club, closing her ear in the process as the booming music reached her ears."We're going to dance our way out!" The blonde girl that had gone for her shift yelled.She didn't even know she had followed them to the club."I would prefer taking a seat over there, thank you guys."

Chapter 14The morning sun was not doing justice at all, as it shone brightly into Octavia's room.She turned her back to the window, preventing blindness due to the brightness of the sun.Her alarm rang and she sighed.Her head was throbbing hard as she scratched her hair, sitting up.Oh, how she hated working morning."Now you're awake," Sofia mumbled, walking into the room with a mug on a tray.Octavia smiled, moving to sit at the edge of the bed."Here," Sofia said, smiling as she handed the mug to her.Octavia took a sip of it and frowned."I thought it was coffee." "Oh..pardon me Milady, when you're done. You can go get your coffee in the kitchen. But this water is filled with ginger to relieve your headache." Sofia said and took a seat on the bed."How the hell did I come back? I can't even remember anything!" Octavia sighed, rubbing her forehead."Calista and I brought you home," Sofia said."Brought me? I was at the club with my department and I.. don't remember." Octavia hi
Chapter 15Bennett Stone had been curious about the stakes and the death.If he'd taken the lead to take out all the cartels in his City at the docks.It would have been easy.He had men and women flocking around him, to take and to give.He did not deal well with charity.He'd give you shit and you'd take it that way or better still get on his black list.At the end of the night, leaving the club where he'd gone to clear his head with his buddies.. he'd come to learn that there was a new cartel in his City.One that he was not aware of.Men could stay...fuck around and do whattheye deem fit.But he didn't accept rape, and drug trafficking.He wanted his City to be sane and not mad.He'd taken the job as the capo to make sure it was cleaned and for the past few years he'd stayed on top, and the city had been cleansed.He would not sit and watch men come and scatter his rules.Staring at the ceiling, he watched the lady in red walk closer.He didn't like people who walked their way out
Chapter 16Octavia slumped down on her chair, pulling her desk close to herself.She was so tired with the first shoot and now the second one would be held a month from now.She didn't even know what to think anymore.Earlier that time she had seen that man engulfed in the arms of another woman.He looked aloof, but still calm?Did that woman make him so calm? He was always yelling whenever he saw her."Miss Octavia."She frowned."What?" She glared and instantly melted when the woman's face turned sour."I'm so sorry, that's what happens when you have so many shoot to take care off. Pardon me." She said with a sweet smile and they woman nodded."What is it?""It's Mr Stone Ma'am, he wants you in his office right now." She nodded, standing up as she began to arrang her dress and stop Midway.Why was she arranging her dress? Was she trying to look good for him?
