~Phil’s pov~ How could that arrogant rich dude talk to my cousin in such a way. And he’s the fucking Damon! The one my cousin has been crushing on for years and refuses to move on from. Does he think he’s so special that he had the audacity to talk about her like that? I knew it was definitely about a boy, I just didn’t know the boy was that long time crush she had. And now I have to partner with this dude and we are the one in need of their help for business to boom. “What did Damon say at the dinner? I am hoping I didn’t hear him well, you should have a better explanation right?”Mr Brooke barked at Sophie immediately as they got home.“Dad, Let’s talk in the morning”, Sophie said angrily as she walked up the stairs heading to her room. “The dinner was going fine one minute and then it all went haywire”, Sophie cried to herself. “Come down here now! I’m talking to you”, he yelled at her angrily. “How could my own Precious daughter embarrass me like that today”, he t
~Monday morning~ “Hey Naomi! Good morning, How was your weekend?”Daniel asked as we started another new week on a happy note. “Morning, it was good and you?”, I replied with a smile. “Have you gotten familiar with New York City now?”, he asked, remembering where I was from and my complaints of not knowing anywhere. “Hmm not really, I haven’t gotten a chance to come out and enjoy the nice views”, I excused myself. I haven’t had the chance because I had other things to think of … like damon. He’s my project so I obviously have to quickly come out with a very good plan and try not to fall for him, he only gets to fall for me and not the other way round. “Why!”, Daniel yelled. “You have had many weekends alone,you could have stepped out or asked me to come take you round”, he said “Nah it’s cool, there’s many more weekends”, I said. I would have loved to go with Daniel but I don’t want to get too close to any boy, I wouldn’t want to give myself so easily to Damon. I shouldn’t
“What do you mean why is she here? Is there anywhere else my secretary should be?”, Damon asked angrily.“She shouldn’t be here, not in New York”, he yelled, still very shocked to see Naomi. “You should have knocked or waited till you got a reply”, Damon added, still angry. He thought he had a chance to stare at Naomi for a long while but this dude just had to come in and disturb their peace together. “I was there for a while and besides she’s your secretary right? Why is she indoors? And with you?”Phil asked as his mood changed gradually and he became a little sad seeing them indoors together and it seemed Damon was enjoying looking at her as his eyes were glued to her neck when he stepped in. Seeing Naomi here was a very big shock to him and it was really heartbreaking that she was here alone with this arrogant dude. “What’s your business with my secretary? It seems you know her but you don’t get the right to badge in and ask stupid questions about my secretary”, he said annoye
“You do know you have a lot of explanations to do, so start now I’ll like to know what’s going on”, Phil said coming out of Damon’s office in a hurry “Tell me why you left without any explanation” Phil asked, shunning that little voice in his head that told him to be calm about this and not cause any issue. “You clearly know what I’m talking about,don’t play me for a fool and be straight with me because I am damn serious!”, he said gazing into my eyes. “I told you I was just tired or so, see! I can’t even recall what really happened, can we just leave this issue and forget about it”, I feigned ignorance as I tried to find every possible means to send him away. “Why are you acting this way? I still do not understand what I did wrong and I deserve an explanation”, he demanded. “I don’t think there will be any need for that, I’m just very okay like this and I only want to focus on my life right now and not get distracted by anyone”, I defended “So there’s no one in your life rig
~Damon’s pov~ How could she say there’s nothing between us? I know there’s nothing but if she doesn’t want him anymore , she could at least lie to him and I wouldn’t mind. There was no way I could come out again and face her now, I was about to step out when I overheard her say there was nothing. Phil is interested in Naomi, his eyes could say it all, and he boldly rejects a deal if it’s to trade her. Would cut this deal off now if I could, but there’s nothing I can do. It's a done deal. I wouldn’t want him close to Naomi, the thought of it alone is frightening. Only I alone gets to kiss, hug, talk and do whatever I'd like to do with her. Well I still get to have her if she dares to go close to him, it’s not like I care or feel anything for her right ? I Would want to have a taste of her, and I hope Phil hasn’t. Damn!!! What has she done to me, why am I freaking bothered if they had something more intimate together but it sure looked like Phil could take her whole toda
“What makes you so happy and super active?”Nora asked. “Sophie's mood was a lot better than yesterday”, Nora thought to herself. "I just feel better or am I not allowed to show any sign of happiness", Sophie asked aggressively. Nora and I haven't been on a good note again for a while, how could my so called friend not want me to have a shot with my one time crush. "I'm not saying you shouldn't be happy, but I know something is definitely up and it's not what i will be in support of", Nora made her point and knowing Sophie, it's definitely true. the girl has a talent of coming up with different plans and means to have damon. "can you just let me be?", Sophie barked out as Nora was disturbing the plans she was already cooking up in her head. "I didn't put no leash on you girl", Nora responded sarcastically. "But I wish they did", she thought out loud to herself. “we can't have a spoilt brat moving all around with no leash on and trying to create issues in this company because
“You wanted to meet up? What’s this about”, Damon asked. “Yes, I’m here to finalise the deal”, Phil replied with his eyes glued on damon. “You agree on accepting this deal and not troubling Naomi”, he asked even when he knew that he had no right to do that. “I’m sure by now you should know that I don’t intend on leaving Naomi for this and besides it’s a done deal”, Phil uttured. “Have you gone through the documents?”he asked, accepting defeat without pointing it out. “Yes and I’m ready to sign them”,Phil said firmly. “Congrats you finally get what you want”,he muttered with a sly smile as Phil signed the papers. “Yeah, thanks. I have one question for you though”, Phil said. “What?”he asked, losing his patience. ‘I don’t get why I’m unnecessarily angry at Phil, it’s not like I have anything special with Naomi’, Damon thought. “What’s your relationship with Naomi?”Phil asked without beating around the bush. “What else? Didn’t you realise it since you walked in on us? I’m her
“Good day sir, I hope I’m not disturbing anything”, Sophie said bumping into Damon on purpose. “No it’s fine, what are you doing here? It’s closing hours already”, he asked like a boss should. “I just wanted to check on Naomi, I thought she was having a thing with my cousin later” she said “I just wanted to know if she’s working late so I could cover for her but it seems like she’s way ahead and have gone to meet him”“Ohh really?”, he asked as his demeanour changed. It was something he couldn’t hide and Sophie didn’t miss it. “Yes sir, I think they have like a dinner thing tonight”, I said as I was clearly just here to let him see that Naomi is out with Phil and he should forget about whatever he feels for her. The way his eyes changed so quickly when I mentioned she’s going out with my cousin, Phil was right Damon loves Naomi. “Okay so now you’ve found out she’s gone already, can I leave?”, he said a little too aggressively as Sophie stood in front of him. “Oh yes sir
