Avery, Tara, Newton, Martin and Jide dashed out of the elevator immediately it stopped on Rico’s office floor as the scent of fresh tears tingled their nostrils. They were worried that Derek might had gotten some nerve to come himself leaving behind him destruction. Without slowing fo a beat, they rushed to Tiana whose head was hidden behind her desk.“What’s wrong Tia?” Tara demanded worriedly, lifting the female’s head to for bruises or any other indication that Rico might have taken the imposter head-on. She growled lightly when Tiana ducked her head deeper behind the desk. Stepping back, she gave the pup space to pull herself together. The pup’s teary sniffles made her old heart ache in pain. When Tiana finally lifted her face to look at them after wiping her face with the back of her hand, Tara cursed silently, the poor pup’s face was swollen with tears and despite the brave smile plastered on her face, Tiana

Tiana examined her reflection in the mirror, she was in love with the green, scoop necked, sleeveless, knee length, A-Line dress Rico got her yesterday. He had insisted on buying her a dress after they made up. The dress’s only accessory were the beautiful, emerald stones of different shapes and sizes embroidered on it. He’d also gotten a matching set of jewellery because the cashier had said it will accentuate her beauty. Remembering how she rolled her eyes at the cashier’s flattery, she smiled because the was right. Well, Rico had an eye for finer things and she had to give him credit. He’d asked her to be his date for the governor’s birthday party which she refused initially with the flimsy excuse that she had nothing to wear for such occasion, so he’d insisted they took the rest of the day off for a shopping spree which she’d agreed to because she loved being spoilt by the man that made her wolf and her giddy.   She took off her old necklace and tucked it aw

Tiana grinned from ear-to-ear as she walked into the Deluxe Palette of Kanen Caterers. Rico had given her a funded membership card when they returned to the HQ in morning, insisting that as his assistant she needed it for those impromptu meetings that came up every now and then, or if she ever felt the urge to be spoiled like the queen she was. Funnily, they never lingered over the issue of her dating someone else but somehow she felt bad he didn’t push it. He’d even asked her to leave work early so she could prepare for both dates since he had promised her mother she would be there. They had agreed she’d head to her date from the restaurant and he asked Brad to drive her to her apartment. She was suspicious of his motives though…scratch that, she liked the attention he gave her from time to time. “Tiana!” She heard Emmaline screech delightfully, waving frantically, attracting the attention of everyone to

Tiana rode her bike into the parking lot of Sean’s Co. HQ, she turned off the bike’s ignition, peeled off her helmet strap, hooked it on one of the bikes handle and hopped down the bike. She smiled to herself as Rico’s scent wafted through her nostrils. Her relationship with Rico changed drastically since Saturday night, not that she didn’t like it always is in fact she enjoyed it…infact she enjoyed all the attention he showered on her. They hadn’t seen each other throughout yesterday, he made sure to call her every twenty minutes and they talked through the night. She couldn’t help but anticipate what would what would happen after his week-long trip which she’d helped him plan.   Seeing him talk to the Front Desk Lady with his back to her when she entered the building, her heart twinged with envy. She ignored them and joined the queue to formed by other staff so she could sign on the daily attendance register. “Ten minutes late.” Rico whispered in her e

Sitting at the dressing table wearing a grimace, Tiana watched her sister rummage through her wardrobe searching for the perfect outfit. She hissed in exasperation as Emmaline gave fabulous complaints for each of her clothes and knowing the Dumb Cow, she wouldn’t give up the search until she found the perfect outfit. She couldn’t place why her sister fussed over looking perfect. It was just a date with Rico, her boyfriend. “Yes!” Emmaline cried victoriously after an eternity.“Aarrgghh!” She groaned in reply at the dress brandished before her, it was too revealing for taste.“You’re wearing it.” Emmaline informed her sternly, mustering all the seriousness she had in her. The dress was simple yet perfect.“I can’t.” Tiana protested vehemently.“Why?”“It’s too revealing.”“It’s your first date with Rico as a c
