AURORAOur lips touched and I quickly moved away from him, standing in silence was more awkward by the minute so I decided to continue what I was doing."That was awkward." Mr. King chuckled as I began to cut some onions not caring if I didn't know what I was doing. How could a grown-up woman not know how to make pasta? I felt disgraced as I felt his gaze on me."You know you shouldn't just stand and stare, do something." I pouted my lips as he glanced away and began helping me make the pasta."How can you not know how to make pasta?" He asked and I was almost shocked with my spit, I acted like I hadn't heard him as I chopped the veggies."You don't have a cook?" I asked randomly as I had noticed it."I cook myself." He answered and I smiled."That's cool." I commended."It's not nice that you don't know how to cook but I can teach you." He offered, I stared at him in shock at what he said, he didn't seem bothered about it as he put on his apron and I turned away hiding my blushing fa
AURORAI got out of the car and walked to the door knocking and waiting for a response, I smiled to myself as joy gushed through my veins. I was more than happy to be here, I missed my family so much and feel guilty I haven't seen them in a long time. The door slowly opened and a head with gray hair poked out."Aurora?" My mom's eyes widened in surprise as she opened the door fully, letting herself out and engulfing me in a warm hug."I miss you very much." I cried hugging her back."Come in already." She said as she led me in, it was just the same way I had left it. I asked Mr. Smith to bring in the groceries as I got along with my mom. We talked for hours about everything and I was more than happy I had dropped by to visit. I left as soon as. As it was getting dark as o didn't want Mr. King to be worried about me staying out late. I walked into the house and met Mr. King pacing back and forth worriedly, he stopped immediately we licked eyes, and walked towards me in fuming anger."W
AURORAI slowly rolled on the bed tired as my body ached in pain. The deeds of last night were quite evident on my body, it was close to impossible to get up but I mustered the strength to get up from the bed. I looked around the room but Mr. King was nowhere to be found, I noticed I was still naked and sticky down there which was irritating, I wrapped the sheets around me, taking my sprawled clothes on the floor, and made my way out Io my room, ensuring he didn't see me running like a whore. I took a shower and got ready for work as I still needed my job.I walked downstairs and was about to go out when I saw Mr. King waiting for me outside, I tried to hide the embarrassment I felt as I recalled myself screaming and moaning last night."Good morning sir." I greeted them once I was inside the car sitting beside him."Morning, did you sleep well?" He asked and I nodded so as not to blurt nonsense as my brain was not coordinating right now.U saw him smile at the corner of my eyes and I
AURORAAs I walked back to the office, I received a message on my phone and quickly opened it without a second thought, it was from an unknown number which puzzled me, I decided to open the message immediately I gave Mr. King his coffee but I kept wondering what the message entailed, I entered the office and noticed Mr. King on a call with someone in his phone, I placed his coffee on his desk and walked over to mine, taking a sip of mine I quickly swiped up my phone and clicked on the instead message.I clicked on the photo almost immediately but as soon as I saw it, I won't the coffee out of my mouth I almost choked on it. Mr. King gave me a 'are you alright look' and I nodded, there was no way I could tell him what I just saw. How could this happen?I looked down at my phone and I felt like I got punched in the gut, I tried hard bit to believe it was me laying on the bed with another man…. Intimately.I don't even know who the man was neither have I ever met him so why are we?.... I
Mr. King could tell something was odd about Aurora’s behavior even after telling him she was fine and nothing was wrong, he thought she was having a hard time dealing with the relationship scandal, not in his wildest dream would he have thought she was being blackmailed, instead of putting pressure on her to talk he decided to wait it out till she feels comfortable enough to tell him about it.Aurora could not bring herself to explain the nude picture, they are not in a relationship presently but no doubt her feelings for him is real. Things are about to get out of hand as the blackmailer keeps sending in more pictures with life-threatening messages. “How on earth do I want to explain these pictures?” Aurora thought to herself.King is extremely worried about Aurora as he kept calling her name from behind but with no response which led to him tapping her on her shoulders. “Oh Goodness” Aurora jumped from where she was with a sweaty palm.The reaction she made convinced Mr. King th
The meeting was held with some of the few staff that still trust Mr. King and are willing to stand by him. The meeting was held to weigh the damage the scandal has caused and to see how to manage the resources they have and make do with it.Most of the shareholders are on Max’s side and they are so bent on making Mr. King give up his post as president of the company. Mr. King gathered his staff and assigned them a task each. “Thank you so many guys for believing in me and it’s my turn to believe in you guys but I can’t do this without your help so please focus on each task given to you if you will be needing any finance to support feel free to do so under the company’s name. Also please whatever was discussed stay in this room and be sure to be discreet while carrying out the task given to you, that will be all, Have a nice day” Mr. King closed the meeting and he felt a little relieved from all the burden he carried.On getting back to his office he met Max sitting on his chair fee
Aurora could not bring herself to bring more burden on Mr. King so she decided on the pain she was going through. Blackmail can harm a person, mentally, physically, and emotionally and Aurora was going through all these pains all alone though it was too much of a burden she felt it was nothing compared to what Mr. King was going through.The company he worked so hard to build was crumbling before his eyes and his opponent has always been one step ahead of him due to the listening device he inserted in his house so of course, she could not bring herself to mention the Blackmail. “Georgia, my lawyer friend, I spoke to her about what was going on, figured Mark might need an extra hand doing all the stuff and she asked if we ever thought of being bugged and I figured it might be true and decided to call you and let you in on it.” Aurora gave a nervous glance at both Mr. King and Mark and the titter.Mr. King could tell there was more to the story but she does not want to share. He choose
