Chapter 16
Thankfully, Lisa was allowed to leave the office at 5:00 pm, prompt by her boss, who had been overworking her since her first day on the job, because of the handing over ceremony that would take place inside the Megabiz Inc. hall at 7:00 pm that evening.
She enthusiastically packed her stuff and left the office, hailing a taxi, pulling her phone from her bag, and dialing Summer's number for confirmation.She said, "Hey."Summer replied, "Hey babe.""Are you going to be home this evening?""Yeah. I'm on my way back home."Lisa let out a long sigh." I have something to tell you, and I also need your help with something""Does that have anything to do with your boss?" Summer inquired, concerned.As the picture of Mr. Byers appeared in Lisa's vision, she rolled her eyes irritably and replied. "No. It's not about him. It's about someone else.""Okay, so male or female? Summer teased."At home, bye," Lisa said, cutting Summer off and hangiRelated chapters

Mr. Byers unwittingly dropped his wineglass and Lisa's hand, his eyes widening in terror, and he nearly peed his trousers.Lisa smiled at Ricardo despite the fact that she knew he wouldn't return her smile.Ricardo's blue eyes were as cold as usual, and his posture spoke volumes about his strength.Ricardo, unlike everyone else, was dressed in a crazy Jean trouser and a black top.Lisa's grin deepened as she gazed at the man-god who approached her, grabbed her hand, and began guiding her to one of the front tables.Mr. Byers was back to himself after a few seconds and stared curiously at the back view of the unusual man who had invited Lisa to such a huge occasion."Brother!" An extremely beautiful woman cried as she ran up to Ricardo and Lisa, and despite Ricardo's coldness, she hugged him tightly. "You came. I thought you wouldn't""Susan, how are you?" Ricardo said as he pulled himself out of her embrace.Susan looked at him and smile

Lisa motioned to the nearby waiter. The waiter dashed over to her table and poured her a another glass of wine.Lisa thanked the waiter, "Thank you."The waiter locked his gaze on Lisa before responding with his shit-eating grin. "Anytime."Ricardo coughed loudly to draw the waiter's attention. And when his eyes met Ricardo's icy blue eyes, the waiter's smile faded and he nearly dropped the tray in his hands. But, fortunately for him, he was able to control himsy and quickly scrambled away.Lisa took a sip of her drink and turned to face Ricardo, who was oblivious to her presence. She swallowed her saliva as she studied his sharp jaw-line, very pointed nose, and lip as pink as a garden rose, because the man was nothing short of a man-god who didn't even realize how perfect he was."Now, let's welcome..." the man on the podium said, "MR. Desmond Kincaid!"As Mr. Desmond Kincaid walked to the podium, waving his hand, everyone rose to their feet, including

Lisa slowly opened her eyes after feeling soft taps on her shoulder. She looked out the car window before turning her head to face Ricardo, who was staring at her."Where are we?" She asked tipsily."At your apartment." Ricardo replied."Really?" She asked, then looked out the window to confirm."Oh, that's true." She said. "Thank you for inviting me."She slowly opened the car door and exited the vehicle. "Bye."She walked to their door and started knocking on the door since she had forgotten to take her key with her.But when there was no response, she yelled, "Summer, open the damn door!" and continued to bang on the door. "Summer!"Oh my God, this can't be happening."she muttered under her breath when a thought came into her mind and she threw back her head in annoyance."Summer!" She yelled angrily and knocked again.She cursed under her breath as she looked at Ricardo's car, which was still parked on the side of the road, befor

Lisa looked around the room and noticed Ricardo, who was sleeping peacefully on the couch with his hands intertwined in each other's, and slowly climbed out of bed.She was relieved that he was still sleeping, and she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to study him up close without being challenged by his icy eyes.She thought of Angels that she had read about as a child in some of her children's story books as she studied his face and imagined what it would have been like if his face could have been this angelica forever.Her gaze was drawn to his lips, and she exclaimed as flashes of memories converged."How could I have?" She pondered. "How could I possibly have kissed him? What on earth was I thinking? How am I supposed to look him in the eyes from now on? Oh, Lisa? Lisa? What have you done?"Lisa was able to recall everything that happened the night before. Everything. How she had kissed him and how he had stopped her, and she was more than ash

"Lisa!" From his office, Mr. Harry Byers yelled.Lisa sighed deeply and made her way to his office."Sir?"Mr. Harry Byers raised his head from his computer and locked his gaze on Lisa."How did you know the new CEO?" He inquired."I... I.. I" Lisa stuttered."Did you know he'd be taking over after Mr. Desmond Kincaid?""Not at all, sir."Mr. Byers gave her a serious look and said, "You are not telling everything to me. Did he help you get this job?""No way!" Lisa stated irritably. The last thing she wanted was for people to think she was hired because she knew who Ricardo was, and it was at this point that she began to consider the negative things that people would say about her. She hadn't given it a second thought until now.She had worked hard to get here as a secretary in one of the city's biggest companies, and a night with Ricardo could ruin her image and possibly her career.Mr. Harry Byers scoffed, his eyes piercing hers, and said. "Can

All employees were summoned to the main hall thirty minutes after his arrival for formal introductions.With the hall as silent as a graveyard, Ricardo began walking to the podium, his shoes echoing around the hall and every step he took feeling like a ticking time bomb that could go off at any moment.All of the employees were tense, with some holding their breath.Ricardo finally came to a halt in the middle of the podium. He looked around the hall with his glassy blue eyes full of daggers, making people shiver in their seats, until his gaze fell on Lisa.Lisa shivered as his cold eyes fell on her, but her stubborn side quickly took over, blocking out the coldness in his eyes.Lisa returned his gaze, maintaining eye contact until he averted his gaze and began speaking."Good day, everyone.""Good morning, sir," the employees all said together."My name is Ricardo Kincaid, and I am the new CEO of Megabiz. I'm not an expert in many areas of th

"I've seen the girl, and she's a scumbag." A lady voice said outside the restroom door that Lisa was the following day."That's exactly what I thought when I saw her. How could a CEO be interested in a woman as unattractive as she is?" Another lady stated.Lisa, who had finished urinating, struggled to get to her feet and walked out of the room. She was embarrassed that people thought she got the job because of her p***y rather than her brain."I even heard she was standing by his side as he read his taking over speech," said the first woman."Really?" The second lady questioned."Yeah. And she isn't even ashamed of herself."Lisa stomped to her feet, drew her skirt down, and flung open the door, enraged. Her stubborn side had had enough of this nonsense and would no longer take crap from anyone.When she opened the door, the two women who had no idea someone was inside the room immediately became quiet.When they saw the woman who had just st

On Friday afternoon, Ricardo frustratedly dropped the pen in his hand, sat back in his seat, and threw back his head.He sighed deeply and shut his eyes. Lisa's face appeared out of nowhere in the darkness, and Ricardo angrily opened his eyes."Fuck," he yelled.Ricardo hadn't been able to think clearly since the night Lisa kissed him, which annoyed him.He intentionally distanced himself from her in order to stop his strange feelings for her, but it didn't help his situation. In fact, it aggravated his situation and made him crave her even more.And on Wednesday, when he stood up for her in front of her coworkers, he wanted to do more than just hold her hand; he wanted to kiss her but he stopped himself.First, because Lisa might not want it, and second, because he knew it wouldn't help the situation she was in at the time.Ricardo sighed heavily as he imagined what Lisa's thin, pink lips would feel like on his.He discarded the thought, pick
