“No matter how much I think about it, I think his dad is tryna set us up or something,” Andrea told Daisy over the phone.“Well…isn’t it what this is all about…setting you people up? Or am I getting the wrong idea here” Daisy asked and Andrea sighed. She knew Daisy wouldn’t understand since she didn’t exactly tell her the whole truth.“Technically yes but I didn’t think…Ah,” Andrea made frustrated grunts wondering how she should start explaining to Daisy who still hasn’t gotten even half of the picture she was painting. “Never mind, so how was the assistant interview…send me the profile details of the person hired” Andrea requested with a sigh.“I already send it to your email, it’s you that forget to check it…I think you’re gonna like him” Andrea arched a brow as Daisy sounded a little mischievous over the phone.“Him…he’s a guy?” Andrea asked while wearing a questioning look as she took careful steps towards her smallest box she had dragged to her bedside table from the closet to re
“What!?” Oliver’s jaw drop after his father declared the unthinkable. “You want me to drop her off work, why do I need to do that she’s got her own car?” Oliver frowned in dissatisfaction after he joined them at breakfast, only to be instructed to become Andrea’s personal driver.“You’re engaged now, and as of this morning the official statement has been made about your engagement, while we claimed it was a silent engagement between both parties, it isn’t credible enough if you both aren’t proving that it’s true-“Why do I need to prove to them that it’s true anyway-“Oliver…we’ve talked about this. This is for your own good” Owen said before rising from his chair.“Um sir, he doesn’t really need to drop me off and also, I need to visit my grandpa at the hospital and need to meet up with the private investigators as well so…he doesn’t have to-“All the more reason he should go. I set up the meeting with your grandfather for next week and confirmed with his personal assistant that he w
“Oliver…what are you doing?” Andrea reiterated after the protective arms around her waist tightened. Oliver had promised to stay in the car but seeing him right behind her was confusing.“You haven’t introduced me to your friend?” Rio had his eyes fixated on Mile’s instead. Miles Norman who just resumed as her personal secretary had to handle taking the documents she wanted to drop off at her office before visiting her grandfather but she didn’t think Miles would come down to take the document himself, she thought she would have to make a trip to her office, meet and address him before leaving but that didn’t seem to be the case since he eagerly came all the way from the 45th floor to talk to her and take the document, just one problem though, Rio doesn’t quite like that much. Andrea felt it from the moment he asked about Miles, she realised…she was no longer dealing with Oliver? How strange, Rio rarely sprung up like that in the middle of the day.“Um, Oliver…this is my new assistant
Oliver was still trying his best to get over what he found Rio and Andrea doing inside the car, while he tried to hide his annoyance and irritation, Andrea could still sense it, but that wasn’t what he was concerned with the most. The fact that Rio seized control while he was still wide awake and properly conscious, that was beyond anything that he’d ever felt before. It was impossible and strangely it scared him. Oliver did his best to maintain a neutral look as he approached Andrea’s grandfather who seemed eager to scrutinize him the moment their eyes met. “He looks quite young” He commented the moment their eyes met. “How old is he?” He turned towards Andrea in question. “Actually I’m 35” Oliver replied instead. “Really? You’re quite old” The old man frowned and Oliver forced him a smile nonetheless. “Are you sure he’s not quite old for you, I mean you might want to- “Grandpa, the age difference between you and grandma was 12 years, my parents were 8, 2 years more than what we
Andrea’s thoughts has been a mess ever since she accidentally confessed to Rio in the car. Like him? Maybe…love him? Definitely not. It was something she blurted out of total necessity since Rio was acting out. Andrea had to keep reminding herself that it was still too soon to have such feelings for Rio and the new side of him she was forced to see when meeting Miles proved that. How many more sides of Rio is still kept hidden from her she wondered? Andrea’s preoccupied mind took a minute to make her realise she was already driving past the precinct she intended to visit. “Shit” Andrea cussed under her breath before reversing slowly until she was able to pull over not too far from the precinct . ‘This is so embarrassing’ Andrea thought to herself as few police officers at the entrance had their eyes glued to her new car, probably because he just drove past them, only to reverse again, almost close to the no parking sign situated some distance the precinct. This really can’t be happen
Andrea found it rather amusing watching Laura’s expression take quick switches, from annoyance to irritation to anger then suddenly to mischief. As if announcing that she was up to no good, not that share cares, none of that ever mattered to her anyway, since she can definitely see through her petty tricks.“Maybe I don’t like you but it doesn’t mean I hate you either” Andrea scoffed to Laura’s statement. ‘How I wish I can believe that, does she think I’m stupid or what?’ Andrea thought as she watched Laura tried to hide her obvious contempt.“Okay-“Look, I’m trying to help you here. I could send my assistant or anyone else for that but I figure it’d be best coming here myself since it’ll make it possible for you to understand the gravity of the situation. My brother is someone you don’t wanna be with…even if you know about his condition I still think you should try your best to avoid being with hi, he’s violent…aggressive and animalistic. I’m trying to look out for you here” Laura
Immediately after leaving Andrea Oliver immediately tried to reach Ray since only him could give him an explanation for what Rio did. It felt like he was running mad trying to justify his actions, yes he got mad and jumped out during the freaking daytime with no thunder or anything, it could only mean to some extent Rio share his senses, he knows exactly what was going on. “Can I get back to you on this?” Was the response from Ray since even him was surprised by the act. It was a little bit unlike Ray to be flustered by he was by the information and then he asked him to come back, because of his early dismissal he was able to arrive at the company during the meeting he already made up his mind to miss. Having to work his ass of all day with questions of Rio bugging his mind was rather exhausting, so exhausting he thought he might just faint and after getting home to finally have some rest he so dully deserved he, he was given the news of his sister visiting Andrea at work. Oliver was
Andrea wasn’t sure how to feel when she turn in for the night after leaving a brooding Oliver behind at the dining.’I shouldn’t have asked’ Andrea thought to herself after returning to her room but she couldn’t stop being curious. Just what happened with his ex-wife? Why does he have such a depressed look, does he love her that much that it hurts? Andrea felt her heart squeezed in her chest after seeing the expression on Oliver’s face, an unfamiliar emotion she couldn’t describe. A disturbing feeling that wouldn’t go away until she was lying by her side on the bed with her eyes closed.Even when she’s lying down wanting to rest her exhausted body, She still couldn’t get Oliver’s pained expression out of her head. Andrea was plagued with the question ‘Why?’ and eventually, she fell asleep but woke up to Rio’s disturbing hands all over her. Roaming her body as if searching for something, His hot rough palm lit sparks in their wake, awaking her desire and fueling her need to be touched
