"Wake up," Reese heard a distant voice say in her dream. She thought the voice was from her dream, until she felt a hand tap her lightly on her shoulder, which startled her awake. As she rubbed the back of her hand against her eyes, she sat up to see who dared to wake her up from her beauty sleep. "What is—" She paused, her words dying on her lips, when she saw the person standing before her. The sleep in her eyes magically wore off completely. It was the strange guy from the bar! The only person that could arouse her. "Wha— what— what are you doing here?" She stuttered, the perturbance in her voice palpable. "How did you get in?" "I am not going to hurt you." He assured. "So, relax, Reese." It was as if he had compelled her to relax, because she instantly relaxed after he told her to. She was no more concerned about seeing a stranger in her room. "Finally. I found you." He muttered, a smirk touching his lips. "I have been desperately looking for you. Why did you run away from
Reese spent several minutes under the shower, recalling her experience with the strange guy in the dream. And she caught herself letting out a soft moan as the cold water poured over her body.Although it was only a dream, but she could still remember how she felt and how much she enjoyed every bit of the pleasure.After she finished showering, she reached for the white towel that was hanging in one corner of the bathroom and wrapped it around her body.She went out of the bathroom to see her parents sitting on the couch in her bedroom.Her eyes narrowed as she gazed at them. "What are you doing here?" She asked."We want to talk to you." Her mom said.They didn’t need to tell her what they wanted to talk to her about. They’ve been disturbing her about it for months now, and it’s getting tiring."If you are here to talk to me about marriage, then I don’t want to listen." She stated, as she trudged to the dresser to moisturize her body after the long shower."Yes. We are here to talk ab
Reese took the next flight to London with the little money she had in her personal account.When she arrived in London, she face timed her bestfriend- Lucy, in the airport."Hey bitch!" She beamed when Lucy picked up.The first thing Lucy noticed was Reese’s environment. She noticed she was in an airport."What are you doing in the airport?" Lucy asked, raising her brow. "Where are you going to?""Text me your house address." Reese said, a smile curling at her lips.Confusion spread across Lucy’s face. "Why?""Because I’m in London, bitch!" Reese beamed.Lucy couldn’t hold her joy when she screemed and her phone mistakenly slipped out of her hand and hit the floor.Reese was still on the call, smiling, when Lucy picked her phone back up and they continued talking."Hope the screen is still intact." Reese asked."Yes. It is." Lucy beamed. "I’ll text it to you right away. I can’t wait to see you."Excitedly, Lucy ended the call, and Reese got a text from her almost immediately.Reese got
Axel had just finished a 3-hour-long meeting with some clients, and he was sitting by his desk, taking a little break before continuing with his work for the day.Tom Evans—Axel’s assistant—knocked on his door and opened it almost immediately, without waiting to be permitted to enter."How many times have I told you, Tom?" Axel asked, a frown creasing on his forehead. "Stop entering my office before I permit you to enter.""I’m sorry, sir." Tom said quickly, as he approached him."So, why are you here?" Axel asked."I just wanted to ask whether you would like to filter out the applicants you want to come for the physical examination. Or should I do it myself?""Please go on with it." Axel permitted.Axel stared at the stack of documents that were piled up on his desk and heaved a sigh. He was already tired from the work he was going to do.He hoisted his head up to see that Tom was still standing there, after he had permitted him to screen the applicants. "Why are you still standing th
After Reese finished answering the interview questions, she got so tired and needed to rest after the long hours of travel.Lucy led her to the bedroom, and she crashed on the bed. She closed her eyes, unbothered about the job she just applied for. She was so confident that she was going to pass the online interview and move on to the next stage.How wouldn’t she? When she herself interviews applicants. She knows exactly what an interviewer would like to hear.Hence, she answered the interview questions flawlessly.Slowly, everything became blurry, and she drifted off."Reese, wake up!" Lucy yelled as she shook her vigorously.She hissed as she slowly opened her eyes. She was definitely going to go nuclear on Lucy if it turned out that she woke her up from her beauty sleep for no good reason."What is it?" With a sleepy voice, Reese asked impatiently."You fucking got the job!" Lucy announced."What?!" Reese exclaimed as she jumped out of the bed. The sleep in her eyes cleared instant
The following day, Reese entered the Perfect Touch company building, dressed in a two-piece suit made with a midnight blue velvet material with jeweled buttons featured on the blazer.Every click of her heels on the floor drew people’s attention to her. She was giving off a majestic vibe, and it was evident from the way she was dressed that she was freaking rich.But no one in that building had any idea that she didn’t have much money in her bank account. Although she was not entirely poor, she owned expensive accessories and shares in New Age beauty."Good morning," she said, flashing her teeth at the receptionists.Her presence was kind of intimidating because they all seemed nervous."Good morning, ma'am," they all said, their voices in chorus."How may we help you?" One of them asked. "Do you have an appointment with the CEO?"Reese gazed at her name tag, which read Mary Simon."Actually, Mary, I got a job here, and in the email sent to me, it was written that I should ask for Mr.
To say Reese was nervous about seeing Axel again is an understatement. Her palms got clammy and the hair on the back of her neck rose as Mr. Evans led her to Axel’s office.Tom pushed the door open, and her already rapid heartbeat accelerated when she saw him standing by the window with his back facing them.And when he spun around and flashed a charming smile at her, her heart exploded, and she could hardly breathe.When she saw him earlier, she was too perplexed to notice how breathtaking he looked in his navy blue tuxedo. And the way his hair was slicked back? He looked like he came straight out of a fashion magazine."Tom, what did I say about knocking before you enter my office?" Axel said to Mr. Evans, a slight frown creasing on his forehead."Sorry sir." Mr. Evans quickly apologized."I’ll let you off the hook today." Axel said, then turned to look at Reese with a smile on his face. "Because of the new assistant."Reese could swear that Axel was intentionally tormenting her wit
When Reese got to Tom’s office, she stopped in front of the door and took a deep breath before knocking on the door."Come in." Tom said almost immediately, and Reese pushed the door open.Tom was seated by his desk when she entered, and he leapt to his feet the second he saw her."The boss seems interested in you." As he approached her, he said. "Do you guys have a history?""No." She lied and shook her head repeatedly. "We don’t have a history." She added."Very well then." He stated, despite his dissatisfaction with her response. He still believed there was something going on. "Let me show you your office. Then we can continue with the orientation there."She nodded her head in response.He walked past her and strolled out of the office, with Reese trailing right behind him.He stopped in front of the office that was next to his. And as he opened the door, Reese read the name inscribed on the nameplate mounted on the door out loud. "Victoria Williams.""She used to own this office.
