Without waiting for the instructions, I stood up immediately and went to check the door, saving me from an inevitably awkward situation. I met a young lady at the door and she gave me a strange stare like she had expected to meet someone else.“Sorry… I was looking for Mr. Maxwell Blackwood.” She said plainly.“Yeah, you are at the right place,” I replied, standing in between the half open door and the wall. “Do you have a message for him? I would gladly pass it along.” I added immediately.The lady hesitated, stealing quick glances through the little space between me and the door. I don’t know if she was trying to confirm that the CEO was there but that was really unprofessional.“Hello?” I immediately called her attention and she looked up at me. Emphasis on the up, she was a short lady.“Sorry, bad habit.” She apologized immediately and I gave a fake smile with a light chuckle. Good lord knows I wanted to slam the door in her face.“Please inform Mr. Blackwood that Mr. Ratan Singh
“OMNISCIENT NARRATOR”Mr. Blackwood dropped his glass and readjusted his position. “Ratan, now that we have concluded on your deal, I would like to make a proposition of my own, but completely distinctive from what we have just discussed.”Mr. Singh nodded. “Sure, I would love to hear it. Anything that brings income and strengthens our business relationship is welcome, my friend.”Maxwell smiled. “Okay… So as you know, I've been expanding my operations further in the mining and production of raw materials. I've recently acquired a particularly promising diamond mine in the heart of Botswana. The quality of the stones is exceptional, and I believe they have the potential to yield a significant profit.”Mr. Ratan Singh hummed. “Intriguing, Maxwell. But what does this have to do with me?” he asked curiously.“Well you see, I'm offering you a partnership. I believe that your expertise in the jewelry industry would be invaluable in bringing these diamonds to market. Together, we could crea
It felt like the universe was punishing Maxwell as he carried Annabel on his back from the bar, all the way to the elevator. “Damn, how are you slim and yet this heavy?” he groaned.“Uhhh..” She belched. “Maybe you are the one who… who needs… to… to add some muscles.” She stuttered, dragging her words incoherently.“Oh, so you think this is funny, huh?” he retorted, still carrying her on his back.Annabel giggled and that angered Maxwell even more. Was she doing this on purpose? She must really be enjoying taking a ride on his back.The elevator opened and he walked out to the hallway, luckily there was no one out there but he had a feeling that the CCTV was smiling at him. Mr. Blackwood carried Anna all the way back to the room.He carried her to the bed and with his back to it, he let her down slowly. But Annabel didn’t let go of him, so he was held down on top of her. She had her arms wrapped firmly around his neck and getting off was a real struggle.“I swear by God, I am so getti
“Anna’s POV”I groaned and rubbed my eyes as I opened it, the morning rays of sunshine seemed to be the weapon fashioned against me. I felt pain on my neck and boobs as I slowly sat up. I think I might have sat silently for a minute or two before the sleep cleared off my eyes and it dawned on me.I gasped and grabbed the duvet, pulling up to my neck as consciousness hit me! I was completely naked! But that is not what struck me, because it was a habit to go to bed without clothes, but this was not my house; where was I?I immediately looked around and flashes of memories flooded my mind; the hotel! I was at the hotel!I looked around immediately and I was all alone. I turned towards the bathroom but there was no one there, the door was closed as well. I was confused as hell; what happened? How did I spend the night here? Where is Mr. Blackwood?Just then, more fragments of the previous night’s memory came juggling back and I struggled to make sense of them. The last clear scene I had
“Oh my God! How did you get in here?” I screamed as I faced him, he was fixing his long tie but paused to wave the key in his hands.“Spare, had to make sure that you don’t lock me out.” he muttered nonchalantly. “I see you need help with that,” he pointed at the gown.I shook my head sideways immediately. “No, I can manage,” I managed to speak without stuttering.“I wasn’t asking, Miss Owl. Turn around,” he ordered as he came closer.I swallowed hard and turned my back to him, knowing too well that it was useless to argue. I could feel his towering height standing behind me, his hang gently slid down my bare back and my body shivered.“Easy now love,” he chuckled and I felt literal chills run through my body.He placed one hand on my ass and my body jumped on its own, right before he pulled up the zipper. Why did he have to make it feel so sexual? He was making me jittery in a funny way.With his hand curled around my waist, he gently turned me to face him and I made sure to avoid hi
The driver opened the door for me as I arrived at the car and I walked in. Mr. Blackwood was already seated by the left side of the back seat and I sat by his right. I tried not to look at him as the car door was closed, rather I picked up my phone as a distraction.It still felt weird, knowing that I had sex with this man last night and all I could make up was clips of it. I am never going to take alcohol in my life again, even if I am taunted by the likes of him. How do I know this wasn’t his plan all along? Did he get me drunk on purpose?On the other hand, I was glad that I wasn’t fully conscious when it happened, because how would I have looked him in the eyes? I would have died of embarrassment if I was conscious when he took off my clothes.After over ten minutes on the road and with no idea what else to do with my phone, I summoned courage and turned towards him. “Have you gone through my report Sir? I know it was a long day but I wonder if you made time to go through it? And
I hesitated before taking the call, letting him speak first.“Hey,” that soothing voice broke the silence from the other end of the phone. My heart jumped and a small smile spread to my lips, I had clearly missed hearing that voice, I was just too busy to notice.“Hi,” I replied, trying to hide my excitement.“So… I didn’t mean to bother you, I just wanted to make sure that we were still on for tonight.”My jaws dropped as his words sunk in. Today! Of course it is Friday, I had promised him a date at my place on Friday night, which is today, how did it escape my mind?“Oh… um…” I muttered, trying to come up with words.“You didn’t forget about our meeting today, did you?”“Of course not,” I lied and laughed nervously. “Just that, there was a slight change in my schedule. I can't meet you tonight, Jimmy. Why don’t we shift it to another time?” I asked.I knew this meeting wouldn’t work because I would be occupied tonight, and there is an emergency meeting at the office tomorrow morning
“I am just going to hear him out, he said please and asked nicely.” I chuckled over the phone as I sat in front of the mirror, my reflection staring back at me with a mixture of excitement and dread.I was on the phone with my crazy friend Jennifer, I had just informed her that I was going on a date or a meeting if it makes it sounds better, with Jimmy. She doesn’t seem too happy about that.“What do you mean to hear him out? I know you too well, Ann. We both know how this is going to end, he will sweet talk you into forgiving him and once again he is back in your pants.” She complained.“You are right, but that is not so bad, he said he was sorry and I think he is sincere, he regrets his actions so maybe I should just forgive him and take him back, at least now he would try to make it up to me for the rest of our relationship, giving me the upper hand here.” I repliedI was dressed in a sexy black gown, the fabric clinging to my curves in a way that made me feel powerful yet vulnerab
