Anna's POV “Oh, I understand…” Charlotte rushed and held my hand. “You can leave at any time, okay? Let's just go clubbing! The thing is that it starts officially by eight. That's when the real party begins!” “I will think about it but I'm gonna leave for now. The meeting will start soon so you should go to put things in place as well…” I told her carefully. This was how I was set free from Charlotte's hook for now. I would have to tell Smith if I wanted to go clubbing. It was not a choice for me. It was compulsory since he was my husband. I decided not to talk about what I had learned about Smith and Elena for now. It was in the past so it didn't matter but I would still tease Smith about it once I found out the whole truth. I prepared for the meeting since we had been told the time already. I saw Elena earlier. She said ‘hi’ before I did so I guess she had forgotten about what I did to her the day before yesterday. It was nice to let things go actually. Some minutes before the
Anna's POVThe door opened and my bodyguard, William, stepped in. He was dressed in a very nice suit. “Hello, My name is William and I am the new intern!” I heard him say. I was caught unaware here. I had even forgotten that he was supposed to get to the office before I did. I could see Charlotte smiling sheepishly at him. She held me and whispered into my ears. “He is handsome and my heart tells he has a very nice build. Don't you think he will be single?” Charlotte whispered in my ears. This made me smile. “What if he has a girlfriend already?” I whispered back. “Then I will have to steal him!” She replied. Smith caught us and we had to compose ourselves. It was like the normal activity. All of us had to introduce ourselves like we did when I just joined the team. William took his seat beside Alexander who explained the mission we had. His role was suppose to assist all of us. Charlotte kept looking at him in admiration. I could only shake my head. “Anna, I would like you to t
Anna’s POV“I have thought about it truly…” I told her shortly. “Let’s have dinner after work. I will make the decision after we have eaten and you have told me all I need to know.”Charlotte ran to me and held my hand. She was smiling sheepishly here. She acts childish at times and I was already aware.“You know I am very great at convincing people. You have gone with me already. Don’t think about any other thing. I won’t ask you some questions here because I am afraid you will cancel. However, you need to change or shall we go shopping? We can’t wear these dresses. The only way this would work is if we both go home and change…” Charlotte said shortly.“I am not interested in wearing short and skimpy clothes…” I told her confidently. Even if I was not claiming this, I was still a married woman. Smith won’t like me flaunting my body to other men.“I am sure you have no such clothes as well…” Charlotte said carefully. “Let’s just drive to my house. I will change and I can even lend you
Smith’s POVAfter Anna had stepped out of my office, I began to think. She had chosen Charlotte over me and this was bad enough. I was not happy at all but I knew I had to try my best not to show it. If I loved her like I supposed, I should sacrifice my personal satisfaction for her happiness. She might be unhappy even if she went with me. It was better she went clubbing even though I disliked it. I wanted her to be with me and no other person.But I had made a crucial choice and that was to let her be. Like she said, we could postpone it to another weekend for sure even though I wanted it now. There was nothing I could do since it was fixed now.------------We closed from work and everyone proceeded to go home. Anna had told me what she wanted to do so I just drove home. I made sure to tell William not to reveal himself for now. Since he would be following Andy to protect Anna, he had to be careful not to be caught. Charlotte was very smart and it would take her nothing to connect t
Anna’s POVI had a hard time selecting a restaurant to take Charlotte to. For the first time, I was going to spend my money. I have been dependent on Smith since and I didn’t even use up the pocket money he gives me. I had been saving up to buy him something as well. My plan was to wait for my monthly salary and then surprise him. Anyways, I finally chose Splezi restaurant and I drove there. Charlotte was not a foodie and she ordered sparsely. I was the same as well. She talked so much with her mouth but enough food went in there.“So, let me tell you about my boss and Elena…” Charlotte said slowly. “It is better I say it now before we both go to the club and get drunk and high.”“You are getting ‘high’ alone, girl. I will be driving and I don’t plan on getting a bit drunk. Just tell me the story…” I replied. Charlotte smiled at me and started.“After that fainting incident, they seemed to have bonded. Boss didn’t come back to work on that day. It seemed she waited for her to get bett
Anna’s POVI was busted.I never imagined something like this would happen to me. If Dan truly told Smith that he brought me to a restaurant, he would be here in no time. Smith was a jealous man and he wouldn’t be able to take it at all.I thought about what to do now. Charlotte had found out I had a husband which was enough of a crisis. It would not be funny if she finds out that it is Smith whom she knew as her boss. She was talkative and it would mean that every other person would know about the secret.I knew Andy would be in a car there. I had to call Smith and explain things to him. If he revealed himself, it would make things wild. I tried to go out but Dan held me back.In that split second, the restaurant’s main door opened and Smith came inside. His aura was everything. I bit my lip now since the whole secret has been exposed. He walked up to me and separated my hand from Dan’s own.“I told you that I was…” Dan was saying but Smith didn’t let him complete the statement. He p
Anna’s POVI was surprised to hear this. This meant that Charlotte was not what I thought she was. She had more wisdom than I expected from her. Keeping such detail from me was impressive.“But she doesn’t know about us, does she?” I asked carefully.“She doesn’t,” Smith replied. “I know you must have agreed to eat and go clubbing with her just to hear the past relationship I had with Elena. You could have just asked me and I would have told you. It is not that deep.”“Really?” I asked him carefully.“Sure, I don’t need to keep a secret from you since it is in my past. Didn’t you tell me about your past relationship with Dan? That was a wilder ride in all senses,” Smith told me sharply.“Then tell me about it!” I told him in anticipation. Sally was here already and she got into the back seat. She muttered nothing and Smith carried on like he didn’t see her. He was now driving and telling me this.“It was after Elena collapsed that I realised I liked this girl. I was really conservativ
Anna’s POV“Yes, it is something I have confirmed…” Charlotte replied innocently. She didn’t realise the implication of what she had just said.“Stop saying rubbish!” Smith shouted at Charlotte. I would count this as suspicious as well. I could see Charlotte thinking hard.“A straight man and a gay man have the same physical features. The best way to find a man who is straight is to see his performance in bed. How did you confirm that Smith is not gay?” I asked her carefully. I didn’t know why I was taking up the role of an investigative officer here.“I never confirmed…” Charlotte replied. “I swear it was a slip of the tongue. I have seen my boss's erection once in a while too but that is all. Also, I don’t mean his bare erection. I meant the bulge in his trousers.”“Oh!” I exclaimed.“Exactly,” she replied. “I am not capable of doing things like that. Since you know the boss's relationship with Elena, I am free.”I took a deep breath.“You aren’t going to ask us about our relationsh
