Chapter Fifteen"Bella!" Kimmie finally left her trance mode. She held on quickly to her friend. Her eyes shone widely at the sight of Brian on the floor struggling to get up while entangled in a pile of clothes. The shop attendants had run towards them trying to help Brian up. But, he refused to let anyone of them touch him. "Don't you dare lay those filthy hands of me! You!" He growled at Kimmie.Bella was in front of him in a second, "Hell, no young man. If you would speak to Kimmie you would have to come through me first." Kimmie gulped hard as her eyes met with Brian. "Please, Bella." "Is this what you have planned with your friend to do? To humiliate me?" Brian said, holding Bella's gaze. "Don't look at him Kimmie. He is trying to manipulate you." Bella mumbled, turning to her friend with her eyes searching. "Please, Kimmie." She moaned. "I will be outside, Kimmie. I need to talk to you." Brian said, heading out of the store. Bella stared in bewilderment, "tell me you aren
Chapter SixteenBella stepped out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee, turning it silently as she sat on the couch. Last night had been one of those days when she and Kimmie stayed apart without talking to each other. She was pissed at Kimmie for going out with Brian and turning her down in front of the man who had hurt her. Kimmie stepped out of her room trying to adjust the skirt she had on. Sighing, Kimmie walked towards bella. "Good morning, are you still angry at me?" Bella rolled her eyes, "what is the need to be angry? It's your life and your decision." Sitting next to her, "Bella, I know I might look stupid to you. But, I am not totally a fool. I just needed to let him know I wasn't his forever puppet and I could handle things on my own. Brian needed to hear a piece of me." "How am I suppose to believe that when you were staring at him like a snack?" "I admit to the fact that I was smitten by him once again. I will tell you bella, there is no way I would go back to a man
Chapter SeventeenCedric looked up in surprise at the sight of his father, he wasn't expecting Ryan to show up. Standing up from his chair, he walked towards him."Good morning, dad. I wasn't expecting you today." He saidRyan snort playfully, "I know you weren't expecting at all. But, it's all good. Actually, I won't be staying for long. I brought someone important to you. Here is Miss Kimmie Woodrow and she would be working with you from now on as your personal assistant."A scoff escaped Cedric's lips, he gave Kimmie a once over. "Is this a joke dad?" A stern look crossed Ryan's face, turning around at Kimmie he smiled. "Can you excuse us for a minute, please."She nodded hurriedly, stepping out. Her heart was practically in her mouth and it had her worried that she might never get the job."Do I look like a joke to you, Cedric?" Ryan bellowed the moment Kimmie stepped out. "What else do you want me to think, dad? Why do you keep meddling with my business?" Cedric questioned. "I
Peering through his phone screen Cedric Pierce tried hard not to sigh, he had been awaiting the call of his trusted branch manager Kareem, and however he remembered that he had an intention to meet up with his father. He appeared exhausted, he had been drilling holes all through the night in a warm pussy and he sure had a good weekend. Meeting up with Carla wasn't much of a bad idea, he smiled to himself at how worn out she had looked when he was done with her. Tapping on his phone screen hurriedly, he informed Kareem of the change in the meeting time. He got to the office and was met at the office door by his personal assistant Maria. "Good morning sir." she said as she walked towards him. "What schedule do you intend to add for the day? She kept on walking behind him. "I am having a meeting this morning with the board of directors over our new project with Google. After that would be having a personal meeting with my dad and then I would be seeing Kareem for the startup competiti
Ryan Pierce stared out his office window, a lot of thought ran through his mind. He remembered when he had just started the tech company, young, ambitious, ready to go at anything. He thought he had all he wanted until he met his wife Erica. Erica was the most beautiful being he had ever come across, whenever you saw her she had a sweet smile on always. They had met at a tech boot camp, she had accompanied her boss as his personal assistant. He couldn't get over her face and as fate would have it they kept bumping into each other till it became something they both wanted. She had brought utmost joy and peace to his life, he was happy within the years of being together, his empire grew widely due to the constant support he got from his wife. The birth of his sons only made his life more valuable, she had died when Eric was only thirteen. Hell-bent on not getting married to anyone, he had always thought no one could take Erica's place, instead he had channeled all his focus into his b
Kimmie stomped her foot angrily on the door of her boss's office. She hated Brian with every fiber in her, the effect of having your boyfriend as your boss; was you losing both your job and man when you get apart. The bastard had cheated on her with one of the workers in the office and got her pregnant. Brian showed no remorse calling her a bore; saying he had gotten tired of having to see her every time with nothing new, no spice to add to the relationship. All she did was work with the same routine. She had laughed loudly at his assertions, doubling as his personal assistant and girlfriend had not been an easy task. She harkened to his needs both office and home, most absurd of it all was she lived in his house. Kimmie had confronted him on the rumor that he was having an affair with Kimberly the human resource manager and Brian owned her pregnancy. In response Brian had told Kimmie the story of her life, fired her and sent her packing from his house. Saying he didn't want to
"What the hell woman, don't you look where you are going?" Cedric bellowed, so much for wanting a coffee, he thought annoyingly. Seems like bad luck had woken up with him this morning. Kimmie looked up hurriedly gasping, "Oh my God, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to please. I was lost in thoughts sorry." She pleaded.With a look of disgust, Cedric ran his eyes over her. "Seems everybody does have something to be lost in." He muttered, still pulling at his shirt.Kimmie gave a second look at the man in front of her, he was the type that covered a magazines front page, he smelled expensive and the look on his face told her the last thing she wanted was to be dragged by him. His muscled arms showed he was a regular at the gym. She wondered what would happen if she tried justifying her actions, losing a job and home was enough. She couldn't lose a face too.Cedric boiled, his temperature rising. Only because of self-control or else he would have unleashed terror on her. He walked out headi
"Aren't you being dramatic over such little discussion?" Adrian questioned Cedric, as they both say down at their usual bar. Sharing a bottle of vodka.Cedric ignored him at first, pouring himself a glass. Taking a deep breath after emptying the glass content into his mouth. "You are not in my shoes, don't act like you know how I feel." Adrian observed his friend closely, he could note the exhaustion on his face. He knew how worried Cedric was about the condition given to inherit the company by his father. It would have been easier if he was in his right state of mind, but only he could see through Cedric's happy facade. Some years back he had gotten involved with a lady when they were in their final years in college, Cedric loved Pasha like she was life itself. They were inseparable, if Cedric wasn't with him he would be with Pasha. Everyone on campus knew them together, Cedric was like a lost puppy when with her. Things started going downhill when he introduced Pasha to the rest
