“He fell asleep,”Dani voiced. She couldn’t just walk away and leave him sleeping there and she didn’t think waking him up would be a good idea either. She let out a sigh and sat back on the seat that she had vacated before. She glared at him. Her expression softened when she looked at him well. He looked so peaceful and calm in his sleep. She has worked with him for five years and directly under him for three years now but this was the first time she was seeing him sleep. Even when she went over to his house when they had to work through the night. She was always the one to fall asleep. Never once has he fallen asleep while they work and now, here he was sleeping in the secretaries’ office. She so wanted to take a picture for a keepsake. She took out her phone and took a few pictures even though she knew he might kill her if he woke up and found her taking pictures of him. “How can he be so beautiful even while sleeping? This should be illegal,”Dani whispered, looking at the photos
The next three weeks went by in a blur. All Dani did in those three weeks was work, eat, and sleep. She tried her best to take breaks between work and made sure to eat healthy and rest as much as she could. Over the last three weeks, she made sure to repeat the pregnancy test at least twice a week and so far, everything was still okay based on the test reports. Today however was the day she decided to go to the hospital. She needed to get a scan done and also register for antenatal. It was the first time she was taking a break during the week since she returned back to work for Luciano. It was the first time she was getting any kind of break. The office has been busy since she got back and most of the work fell on her because Luciano made it so. “Luciano,”She mouthed and rolled her eyes. She thought he would change the way he bossed her around after she came back and after the way he had treated her that night when he had been drunk and got her food. false. it was as if that night d
“It is my business, I pay you to work for me, Danielle, I need you here because this is important to me. So please, come through for me, please,”Now he was begging. Not only was he self-centered, but he was also very manipulative. “I am begging you. you can take tomorrow off. This came on and I have to be there. You have to come with me, Danielle. You know I need you,”He went on. Dani hated him so much for manipulating her. She hung up and turned on do not disturb mode. She picked up her bag and walked out of her apartment. She got in her car and started it with every intention of driving to the hospital but his pleading voice kept echoing in her head. “Fucking miserable man,”Dani cursed out and drove out of her driveway. She arrived at the company about twenty minutes later, she cursed at herself all the way there. She angrily got out of the car. She didn’t know if she was more angry at Luciano or herself for not being able to stand her ground and tell him no. She grudgingly got
“I didn’t do anything that your other secretaries couldn’t have done for you. You just want to always have your way and I am the fool for showing up.” Dani let out. “Dani, come on. I already told you that you can do whatever business you have to do tomorrow, don’t ruin this happy moment by nagging. What was so important anyway?”His whole sentence was bad but the last part was just off. It made her so angry. “I told you that’s none of your business. Today was important to me but you still found a way to make me come to work even after I told you a week before today that I would be off,”Dani let out. She felt emotional and was so close to tears but she didn’t want to cry here in the lobby of a hotel with her egoistic boss as an audience. “I know you are going to say something like you pay me well to do my job, well don’t because I already know that. It still doesn’t excuse how you always want to have your way and not let other people get what they want. I had something really impo
“What did you say?”Luciano asked. Wanting to believe that he missed what she had said. Everything was happening so fast. One minute he was very happy to have gotten one of the hardest possessions to acquire and the next minute he was having a conversation that he would rather not have with his secretary in the lobby of the venue of the meeting. This was not how he envisioned the rest of today to go. All he had wanted to do immediately after he had signed the deal and paid the money for the property was to have a nice evening after dropping Danielle off. He had also thought of compensating her for dragging her out of the house on her day off after he had promised her that it would not happen again. he couldn’t bring anyone else with him as he didn’t want to fumble his chances of getting the property when one of his biggest rivals had also been interested in getting the property. The worst part is that he hadn’t even been aware of any of it until he got the call from the Goshin castle
“You will work for me until I say otherwise, Danielle,”He told her as he drove into his mansion. Funny how Danielle has been the only woman he has ever let into his mansion. Well, aside from Lydia, an older woman who has been working for him as his cleaner for years now. She only comes in twice a week to clean. She doesn’t live in the mansion so he barely sees her unless he works from home. Every other person who worked for him in his house was male and he kept it that way. So yeah, only Danielle and Lydia. He didn’t have any family members. he lost his parents at a very young age. He was raised by his uncle and his wife until they both also died in a car accident when he had been only thirteen years old. He learned the art of living and surviving on his own at a very young age and never tried to let anyone close to him. The women he dated only knew his hotels or Penthouses. Even before Danielle started working for him, his secretaries before her never once came to his house. He real
“Let me go, Luciano or I am going to sue you,”She threatened. He let out a laugh. “Can you really sue me? Danielle? Think about it.”He said. she looked away. At least she knew the truth. Any legal battle she tries with him would only end with her losing everything she owns. Not like he would ever think of dealing with her through the law. There were a lot of other ways to get through. “Now you can’t even look at me? You were so sure talking a minute ago. Did I shock you back to reality?”He asked and she looked up at him for a moment. He let out a gasp that he damn well knew was a little audible. He couldn’t blame himself for it. The beauty before him threw him off balance and once again, his eyes settled on her lips. Reminding him of what has been part of his thought for the last one month. The thought that he did his best to keep away but now that he was so close to her, it was hard to keep those thoughts away and also hard to not stare at her full lips. She chose that moment to
“You are the one to talk? You kissed me back and were moaning so sensually.”He responded. She didn’t say anything but continued glaring at him. “And why would you even think I would try to stop you from leaving with a kiss? What do you take me for?”He questioned. He hadn’t even been thinking about work or the fact that she was leaving him when he had kissed her. All he had thought of was tasting her lips. “That’s something you can do. Try to seduce me into staying with you, that’s never going to happen,”She let out. “You rate yourself a little too much, Danielle. I wouldn’t need to seduce you to make you stay with me. The kiss happened and I am not going to deny that it did but bear in mind that it hadn’t nothing to do with wanting you to continue working with me and it will most certainly not happen again,”He told her firmly. He thought he saw the look of disappointment on her face when he said the words but it disappeared so fast that he concluded that he might have imagined
