Kevin's POVI drove home that night angry at myself. Ofcourse, I should have walked up to her in the restroom, help her clean up for making her soil her clothes. I only intended to lure Natalie into remembering our intimate moments together, and perhaps make her realize how hurt I had felt when she left without saying goodbye. ‘What if I had left the country? Or her father's company was situated very far away and she had to leave?'However, it was a total relief to discover that Venus Group was two stone throws away from my father's company. I would get to see Natalie's angelic face secretly. I drank liquor that night, filling my head with thoughts of Natalie till I slept. The next day at the office, I held a meeting with the Board of Trustees where we discussed trivial matters like the financial management of the company, and important policies to be adopted to maintain the company's legacy as one of the very best in Esturnburg. “Thank you everyone, you all have done a great job an
Maurice's POV“Yes!" “This is the perfect solution!" I rejoiced, going through the task Natalie had assigned to me to assist her with. It was something from Venus Group that seemed hard for her to tackle, quite complex that it took over a week to sort out and compile. It was fulfilling to eventually find the solution to that because it was connected to Salesrite Company, making it a win win for both my company and Natalie's. On that Saturday evening, I had to deliver the documents to Natalie to enable her read through, and prepare for her presentation which was to take place early on Monday morning. I watched my mother through the sitting room, chatting gleefully on a call as she stirred the chicken broth she was preparing on fire. She sounded like a teenager, who had found a new crush. I wondered how free my busy father was to enable him speak on a call as long as that with his wife. I walked over to where she stood cooking and calling, openly eavesdropping on her. She seemed une
Natalie's POVI paced the way from the poolside to my room the fastest way I could. I knew I was wrong to walk out on Maurice, I simply had transferred my aggression from Kevin to Maurice. Back then at the Fidell estate, Kevin had made me love sex and now I felt horny thrice or more a week, and now I saw myself going bunkers the moment I came in contact with his lustful eyes, sexy lips or sweet touch. I felt better when I got into my room, shutting the door behind me and falling slowly to the floor in tears, my shoulders quaking the same time. I felt very embarrassed for making advances at Maurice. Still, I wondered what sort of a guy would restrain from kissing a girl he professed love to. I tried everything I could that night to sleep but sleep never came, I ended up studying the documents Maurice brought for me until sleep enveloped me at midnight.On the first day of the week, I went exercising and gaming and by Monday I was well rejuvenated for the day's work. While walking into
Natalie's POVI was ready this night, I was never going to let his look take charge of my body, I would control myself regardless of the funny feeling that had began to well up in me.“Do you think you could meet with me under the disguise of a business meeting, just because you can?!"Kevin laughed a bit loud. His laugh was musical as usual, he rubbed his cute moustache before responding. “Yeah... Because I can, you know Nat... I call the shots! It's my company and I can do whatever I want, that's something your Maurice can never achieve!"Kevin was always petty when it was anything that has to with Maurice, even when he was not there. I closed my eyes, I wasn't in the mood for banter today.“Sit!" He ordered, I still stood. “You are hurting those damn hot legs of yours, why not sit hmmm?" He said, smiling again. I gave up on my earlier planned vehemence, trying to sit pretty while I pushed the chair I sat forward. My boobs bounced. ‘No! No! That was not the plan, was my body danc
Mark Escobar didn't shift his gaze from her, he kept glaring at her in a pathetic way, feeling guilty for nursing such a thought as she spoke. Even though he knew it was wrong for him to think that way concerning Louisa's husband's health, it was sure that Louisa would become his for good if her husband was to die. “He never showed any signs of that..." she had a devastating look on her face. “We were surprised when the doctor revealed his diagnosis, how can my husband have Leukemia?" She broke down in tears. Mark went up to where she was not knowing whether to pat her on her back or not, he ended up holding her hands and looking directly to her face. The first date with this new woman his heart desired was not going as planned, he would rather pacify her than say everything he had planned to let her know. “Everything will be fine Louisa, trust me" he tried his possible best to sound very reassuring. Louisa was not buying into that. “How? How Mark?! This is my husband we are spea
Maurice's POVI sat at the hospital, looking into my dad's sunken eyes. In just three weeks, he looked weak and frail. A day before, the test result showed that his sickness had advanced to stage four acute leukemia. My mom sat at my side whimpering and even while I tried to pacify her, I knew that my father's recovery would be a miracle. He coughed thick clots of blood now and his breathing was unstable. He literally struggled to survive. While I peered painfully at his face, I recalled our memories together and how bad his shoe making business has fallen. I felt bad remembering how embarrassed I imagined myself to be, if I had gathered the courage to ask Natalie for the huge amount of money requested at the hospital. I never thought it was a wise idea doing that, I wanted to sort out the bills myself, but no matter how hard I tried, the funds were never enough. This was same with my mom, she did tell me about a certain boss who she was sure could help her out. She eventually reac
Maurice's POV“Really?!" Natalie asked me.“You left Salesrite Company to come work at Venus Group?" She asked again. “I never knew my dad suggested such an offer to you" she continued. I shifted my gaze from her desk which I had focused on all this while to her face. I couldn't believe Natalie said that. “Same way I never knew you and Kevin had something together!" I retorted, not minding how angry I sounded at that moment. Natalie buried her head in shame, before she looked at me and said. “It's not what you think Maurice..."I gave a short laugh. ‘I saw the chemistry between Natalie and Kevin clearly'“It's not what I think? Then what the hell is it?" I gave a loud outburst again. “My father was ill Nat, he died that very day..." I paused, suddenly deciding not to go on. “Just suit yourself, Kevin might have all the wealth he thinks is capable of winning your heart, but I am never giving up on you Nat! Never!" I said advancing towards her door. Natalie was close to tears,
Natalie's POVMaurice resumed duty three days after he called in sick. His face was badly bruised when I visited, so much that I started to think Kevin was the culprit. “It wasn't Kevin" That was the only response Maurice uttered the whole day. He spoke very little and was less cheerful.His mother, Louisa Brown, was much younger and prettier than I imagined her to be, and she kept smiling at me regardless of the situation and her son's condition. “Welcome my child, Maurice will be fine soon..." she said. Whether Maurice spoke or not, I was ready to be there for him. I moved into the kitchen not minding the pleas of Maurice's mother not to bother, I had come with condiments required to prepare a fish soup broth and that I did for Maurice, hot and spicy. “I was simply repaying him his favor of standing by me when I was ill" I told Louisa, but she felt awkward seeing her son boss' daughter prepare a meal. A day after Maurice resumed, he solved a difficult task which the other membe
