BEATRICE'S POV.
She woke up the next morning with a slight ache around her neck, it felt cramped as she tried to turn and noticed her legs were tangled in the blanket and her cheeks were placed on a hard surface, then suddenly her mind traced back to the event of yesterday as she sprang up noticing she was laying beside Ben and they both slept off on the cushion seat instead of the bed.
'Oh, God! Did we have sex?'
'No! We didn't... I won't succumb that easily,' She tried to remember while she eagerly tried to get away from Ben. She fell on her butt on the ground and clamped her hands around her mouth to stop herself from making a groan as she glanced at Ben who turned in his sleep facing her.
She closed her eyes trying to remember what transpired between... Then a memory of Ben grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards him came into her memory and also the part she was kissing him back desperately.<
Beatrice was walking solemnly to her office drowned in thoughts on how she was going to face Ben, when she sighted Vanessa standing by her doorway while the securities carried out her desk as she fastened her pace, her heart beating wildly wondering what was going on.'What's going on?' She thought dreadfully.“What's happening here and why are the security men taking out my desk?” Beatrice inquired from Vanessa who rolled her eyes and adjusted her glasses now staring at her with a smug look.Beatrice gazes at the men taking her desk away as she moved to ask one of them what was going on.“To the boss's office,” Vanessa retorted annoying stopping Beatrice in her tracks as Beatrice's face fell, and her knuckles turned white as she slowly turned around swallowing the lump in her throat as she faced Vanessa.'Why the hell does Ben have to take my desk to his office?' Beatrice pondered as her heartbeat faintly, and she felt sweaty all of a sudden.“Why is that?” Beatrice asked her anxious
“Where are your manners?” Ben fired at Vanessa while Beatrice scurried to her desk, so, nervous to gaze at Vanessa one more time.She just caught her and Ben making out and would think otherwise.Who wouldn't anyway?“I did, sir, I guess I didn't knock loud enough for it to be heard, I'm sorry,” Vanessa apologized, Beatrice shifted her gaze to Ben who stared sternly at Vanessa.“Why are you here, then?” Ben asked her nonchalantly, adjusting his tie as he sat on his seat and stared at her.“I'm here to inform you about your scheduled meetings for today, Sir,” Vanessa responded while Beatrice snickered lowly arranging her files on her desk.“From now on, Miss. Coleman. Will handle that!” Ben announced as Beatrice shot her gaze to Ben surprised while Vanessa stared at her boss in shock, her lips parted slightly as she glanced towards Beatrice who caught hold of her gaze which was filled with threats.Vanessa turned her attention back to Ben, putting on a forced smile.“But sir, I've been
Beatrice was sleeping peacefully on her desk when Ben walked into the office, his gaze caught her dozing state as he walked closer to her.He stared at her for some minutes as his jaw clenched, stealthily watching how she parted her lips soft and breathed evenly at a low pace.Lips he was dying to kiss and ravish presently, but he couldn't as he just took in the sight of her pinkish, alluring lips in front of him.He ached so much for her, that he decided to respect Beatrice's decision regarding their relationship would be the best thing for him, although it was killing him lividly on the inside.He reached out to brush off the small amount of hair that clustered and covered part of her beautiful face he had fallen in love with right from his high school days.Furthermore, he loved every single piece of her, her fierceness, her attitude, her body shape, everything about her, he fucking loved her.It was only a matter of time before he shows Beatrice she was fully his, but for now, he
Beatrice was on a call with her mother, she just finished pouring some pure breed kibbles for her pet dog and placed its bowl on the floor.“That's good,” Beatrice beamed, knowing her father was responding to treatments.“Send my regards to him,” She told her mum.“Sure, I will… We will be expecting your visit soon,” Her mother chimed in while she sighed and began walking out of the kitchen.“I'm coming soon, mum, just have a pile of office and schedule works blocking my way,”“Don't worry, I'll visit soon,” She assured her.“Okay darling, I'm hanging up right now, I need to prepare your father's breakfast,” Her mum notified while she nodded.“Goodbye, mum” Beatrice said, and her mum hung up before she could respond.A sigh of relief rushed through Beatrice as she made her way to the living room and switched on her television.She put the sound of the television on mute and slouch on her comfy leather seat.'Hmm! What to do… What to do!!' She thought as she glanced to her side and saw
Beatrice breathed in as she drew closer to Ben's table and dropped his cup of coffee on the desk, his hot looks were doing justice to her the more she stayed in his office.“Good morning, sir,” Beatrice greeted meekly, but didn't get any response. 'Well, if he sees to it, not to be responding to my greetings, then I better stop wasting my vocals to be greeting him,' Beatrice thought annoyingly, giving him a sneering look while he was focused on typing on his keyboard as she turned around gradually about to go to her seat.“Get prepared for the meeting coming up in the next thirty minutes, you're accompanying me,” Ben's deep voice stopped in her tracks as she scoffed and marched off to her seat, without a response.'Beatrice, you know he's your boss, and you need to stop acting all grumpy towards him all the time, show him that respect for Christ's sake,' Her mind scolded her.'I'm trying, but he's making it all so difficult for me too,' Beatrice argued stubbornly in her subconscious
Driving to the airport as early as seven in the morning, Mia had begged Beatrice she would like to accompany her to the airport, which Beatrice seem deemed fit as an opportunity for her.It was a bit cold in the morning and Beatrice was putting on a black turtleneck top, black high waist suit trousers, matching heels, and a check of a red and black lengthy jacket that reached below her knee.Cody was in Mia's arms when she pulled up in the parking space of the airport. “Okay, so, here we are,” Beatrice breathed out while Mia ran her fingers through Cody's fur.Beatrice got out of her car and unlocked the back seat, bringing out her luggage.“Let me help you instead, have Cody to yourself,” Mia insisted.“Thanks,” Beatrice chirped as Mia collected her medium size luggage box… When Ben had told her they were having a business trip yesterday, she was too perplexed on asking him any questions, so, she had to find out herself.They were going to Austria, which was quite a far place from N
“Hmm!” Beatrice moaned slightly, rolling to the other end of the bed when her eyes snapped open.She sat on the bed and gasped as she saw Ben adjusting his tie and straightening his suit.“Oh my God! I'm late,” She widened her eyes in terror, scooting out of bed and end up falling to the floor and getting tangled in the blanket.Ben walked over to her, wrapping his hands around her as she tensed up, he left her when she was on her feet and got out of the blankets.“Why didn't you wake me?” Beatrice asked surprisingly as she stared at me, Ben's jaw clenched as he gazed away from her.“You have an hour to be ready, and we'll attend the meeting,” He responded coldly and turned around.“Your food is on the table,” He added, glancing over his shoulders, while Beatrice's eyes darted towards the table not far from the seat in the room.Ben strode out of the room, Leaving Beatrice to herself as she hurriedly closed the door behind her and peeled off her clothes from her body, then entered the
Beatrice stared at herself for what seemed like the hundredth time in the mirror, she just couldn't get enough of how stunning she was looking at the moment.The sparkling green dress hugged firmly against her slender curves and the v-line cut showed her cleavages, while the silver necklace with the heart-shaped pendant with embedded emerald stone complimented her skin tone.She looked drop-dead gorgeous…“Let's get a snap!” Beatrice told herself as she grabbed her Samsung mobile phone and had a mirror picture.Suddenly, a knock was heard on the door, and Beatrice quickly grabbed her clutches and hurried to the door. For some unknown reason, she felt a bit happy.Beatrice opened the door and standing before her was Ben… He looked so handsome and classic in the black suit he was wearing.He wasn't a male model, but currently, he should have been. His black jet hair was neatly and stylishly cut, and his crescent of moon eyebrows were thin and narrow.The aquiline nose he had complimented
