I can't stop myself from smiling on our way to our condo. Lesh and Layla are staring at me like I'm being crazy. Well, maybe yes. I'm crazy for Ethan so much that even those little things from him make me happy.
"I will think that you are losing your mind already," Layla mumbled as we entered our condo. I sat on the soft couch and laid my head on there, still smiling like an idiot. Tomorrow is Sunday and it is our free day. But since I am Ethan Falcon's secretary, I need to go there and do my work. I should've complaining right now but since it was Ethan Falcon whom I will be working with, I can't find any reason for me to complain. I smirked at my two friends looking so problematic right now. I raised my two hands to calm them down. "Come on, girls! I know what I'm doing and Ethan informed me that I will have my payment for working at him on our free day so I will also benefit from it." I tried to make a point at them.It is true, though. The Falcon Empire will pay me for the hours that I will work in their company during on our free day. It is actually beneficial for me since I will have my additional allowance for next few months. Lesh and Layla are still not convinced with what I said but to finish the topic, they just nodded their head. I smirked at them as I imagine myself being with Ethan Falcon again tomorrow!That's why, I went to the company earlier than my call time! I am smiling at the guards and to all the employees that I see on my way. I feel like nothing can ruin my mood right now!I shrieked as excitement fills my nerves when I finally reached my table. I tried to look for Ethan inside his office but like what I expected, he's still yet to be here. Minutes passed and some employees are starting to come in our floor. And like a routine, every one stands up when a man in blue dress shirt tucked in a dark blue pants walked inside our floor. My jaw dropped and I forgot to stand up. My eyes are focused at him, walking like a King with his jaw clenched, his eyes, just like always, dark and deep, and lips that are as soft as heaven. He's staring at me! He's... walking at my direction! Fuck! Ethan Falcon is walking on my table!I feel like every thing has halted when he stopped in front of my table. I gulped and accidentally closed my eyes and smell his scent thoroughly. Damn, he smells so fucking good!"Good morning, Pennelope. I want a coffee in my office right now. Just like the old times, no cream just pure black coffee. Bring my schedule too as you go inside with my coffee."Just like that, my eyes widened to look at him. I wandered my eyes around and I wish the floor to just eat me right now! Fuck! They are watching us! Some are even smirking! When I looked at Ethan, his forehead is creased and lips in grin line!Argh!"Y-Yes, sir..." I whispered with my voice shuddering.He sighed before leaving me for his office. Even though my cheeks are still flushed from the morning embarassment, I still went to the pantry for Ethan's coffee.Why did I even thought Ethan was going for me? Of course he would! I am his secretary! And damn, my table is placed on his office that's why he walks on my direction!I sighed heavily as I massaged my head when a dark and husky voice talks behind me.My eyes widened and I faced him, only to see the man I'm thinking now in front of me!I tried to smile a little. "Y-Your coffee is done, sir. I'm sorry if I take too much time." He raised an eyebrow. "Let's go in the conference room. I have a meeting until lunch there, right?"I nodded my head at him, confirming what he just said. "Yes, sir. After that meeting, you'll have your lunch in your office then you have a one-hour appointment with Mr. Cabrera after lunch. Another meeting with the members of the board in conference room after your appointment with Mr. Cabrera."The side of his lips rose a bit. "You memorize it?" he asked with a ghost of smile.I proudly nodded at him. " Yes, sir!"He smirked and got the coffee from my hand. I feel something inside me when I felt his hot and warm hand touched mine when he take the coffee. I know that for him, it was just nothing but for me... it feels heaven! He really has a great effect on me, huh?"How many hours will the meeting last with the board members?""Two hours, sir." I smiled at him, showing him that I know every small detail of his schedule today. He smiled back. "Okay, then."I smirked as I watched him leave the pantry. I shake my head and decided to follow him.The conference room is a large room where most of the meetings are occuring. It has a long table in the middle with a total of 32 chairs and two four small tables with 6 chairs. There are also three big and two small couches in the corner. In front of it is the large monitor so that everyone can see what's being flashed in the meeting. Ethan is sitting on one of the head chairs so I seated beside him with my notes and pen in my hand. I greeted first all the investors inside including Ethan's father–the acting Chief Executive Officer of this company and President of the whole Falcon Empire. I observed that he's now on age, and that maybe the reason why Ethan is now starting to work on the field. The meeting starts when everyone has arrived. I noticed that Ethan is on focus in front where a man is standing, flashing his proposal for expanding their company. That man happens to be his cousin. "What do you think, son? Is it a good proposal?" Ethan's father, who's sitting in one of the head chairs, asked. I glanced at him as I ready myself again to write the important details. "The proposal is actually a good idea. However, we shouldn't be relying on Frenniere's new technologies too much that we are going to accept their newly released guns without those passing the test. This is a big project, Aidan. Although your proposal is nice, we cannot guarantee to lose billions for this without us knowing if there is a big possibility that we'll succeed."My jaw dropped at Ethan while nodding my head, agreeing to what he just said, even though I had no idea about it. I wrote everything in the proposal earlier, and I added Ethan's thoughts about it.The man whose name is Aidan smiled without humor; it seems like he's not laughing at Ethan right now."Do you really know what our business is, Ethan?" he asked insultingly.Ethan clenched his jaw, and I saw him close his fist. I thought he would argue with his cousin, but he didn't; he just glared at Aidan while he was greeting his teeth.Aidan laughed. "It seems like the heir of the whole Falcon Empire doesn't have any idea about it.""I know everything, Aidan. In fact, what I said was true. Do you really think that your proposal will succeed once it is approved?" Ethan countered back, cutting Aidan off."No...""Then?"Aidan looked pissed already, but he tried to smile. "I am not sure if my proposal will succeed, Ethan. And that's what business is all about. It is all about taking risk. Even though the smallest possibility in a project, we should still accept and embrace it. Ethan, put in your mind that our Empire is now the biggest Empire in the country not because we choose the projects that have higher possibility to generate inflows but rather because we accept and choose projects that are in line with our business and vision. We do not choose, Ethan... because if we will, then I'm sure as hell our Empire will fall down."Ethan, though, looked calm now. He sighed and looked at me. I smiled a little, pushing him to fight for his opinion."I get your point, Aidan. However, if we accept the project with your proposal, and knowing that Frenniere's new technologies are yet to be tested and verified, the whole Empire will also fall down. I'm not telling you though that we shouldn't accept the project because, really, the project is nice. What I just want you to know is that we have to ensure that the guns they will deliver to us are tested and verified."Ethan's father's manly laughter echoed around the whole conference room. Almost all of the investors are nodding their heads at Ethan, agreeing with him."Ethan is right, Aidan. Frenniere's new technologies are not yet safe to use," an old man mumbled.Another woman nods her head at Ethan. "One more thing is that, are we really going to sacrifice our clients' safety for this uncertainty? I mean, I know that success in business is all about taking risks, but our clients' safety is at stake here. We shouldn't take it lightly just because we want to generate more inflows.""They are right, Aidan. I also agree with Ethan."The meeting ends with all the praise received by Ethan. While that Aidan man looked pissed at his cousin, even though he's smiling at other investors, the irritation and frustration are visible on his face."Good job, son. I trust you with this," Ethan's father said after the meeting.The responsibility of this project is now on Ethan's shoulders. I'm happy for him. He deserves it. He's such an intelligent man, and I admire him even more for it."Thanks, dad."His father tapped his shoulder. "I heard about you and Elyse. I'm sorry for that one. I know your love for her is genuine.""Dad..." Ethan's face is now serious. The smile and happiness are now gone from his eyes. "I'll go now. I still have an appointment with Mr. Cabrera."Then he leaves the conference room. I bowed at his father and bid my goodbyes before following Ethan into his office.Throughout the day, he was silent. I noticed his dark aura. If earlier he'd been smirking and smiling like a real happy man, now he's not. It seems like he's feeling hell, and being happy is a sin.I am now arranging all my things. All the meetings with Ethan have just ended, and my work is already done. I gathered everything and was about to walk to the elevator when the telephone on my table rang.I sighed and answered it, thinking that maybe Ethan needs something."Come inside," he said, then hung up the call immediately. His voice was emotionless and too dark to even describe it.I did what he told me. I entered his office, and I saw him massaging his head."Sir, do you need anything?"He stared at me blankly, his jaw was clenched."Are you free tonight?"I blink my eyes multiple times. Is he really asking me this?Slowly, I nodded my head."Good, 'cause I'd like to let off some steam."And I couldn't do anything but agree... because I also want it to.I was breathing heavily as his hand ran through my black skirt. I closed my eyes tightly as I bit the side of my lips to stifle my moans. However, when his finger tips found their way to my wetness, I lost it. My lips have become apart, and I can't stifle myself from moaning anymore."Ah!" I laid my head on the front seat as I held on to the seatbelt in me."Fuck! You're so fucking wet!" He dangerously said, using his hoarse voice.I snapped at him with my eyes narrowed, and I noticed his jaw clenched. He is also gripping the steering wheel so tightly that I think it will break if this continues. The moment I told him I also wanted to let off some steam, he grabbed my arm and took me to his car. It seems like he cannot wait anymore because he's now about to finger-fuck me!And fuck, I don't think I can still wait any longer either!"Is your car tinted?" I almost begged him to ask that question.My chest is falling and rising abruptly as his finger slides to my pants and is now teasing
"I'm cumming," his hoarse voice conquered my ear as he pounded my body at the back."Faster, E-Ethan..." I moaned as I felt myself nearing to cum also.He held my hair together, then he pounded me with so much strength and speed until we screamed each other's names as we reached heaven for the third time now."It's so good to be on your inside, baby. Fuck!"I closed my eyes and breathed heavily. We're here at his penthouse again, obviously fucking around. He fetched me from our university after submitting our report there, and then we went here at his penthouse. Even though we just had sex last night, I felt like it wasn't enough. I need him for a lifetime."What do you want for dinner, hmm?" He asked while caressing my hair.We are wrapped in his white sheet on his bed. He's hugging me from the back, his arms are enveloping my naked body while my head is lying on his hard chest. I can feel his heart beat because of our position. He's still very hard on, even though we've already done
"You could've just talked to Mr. Falcon, sir. I can walk to the bathroom alone, though," I whispered softly as we watched his father walk out of our floor.He clenched his jaw so much that I thought he would shout at me, but instead, he neared me—not that he's not near me."S-Sir..." I stuttered when my back hit the wall.He put his arms beside me, cornering me and ensuring that I had no chance to slip out of his hold. He bent down a little, only to level his face against mine.He smirked at me without humor. His eyes are blazing with fire and anger. "What did you call me?" he asked with a little smirk on his face, even though his eyes were burning.I put my arms on his hard chest, slightly pushing him away, but because he is stronger than me, he did not even move a little. He snapped at my arms that were on his chest, gathered them, and held them tightly."Answer me," he demands, the smirk on his face is already gone. He's completely dangerously looking at me now."S-Sir..."I was cu
I know that I should not act this way. In the first place, I am not his girlfriend, and being jealous is out of the picture of our relationship.I shook my head at the thought of a relationship.Clearly, our relationship was all about lust. He likes me? Why would he fucking let a woman kiss him if he does? Or maybe... he means he likes me physically? He likes to fuck me, huh? He likes me for my physical appearance. He likes me on his bed while he's on top of me, hovering over me harder and rougher. Oh Damn!I caressed my arms as I looked up at the sky. Millions of stars and a moon are giving light to our darkness. Somehow, watching them makes me feel at peace.A low baritone voice interrupted me from my thoughts. "It's cold in here. Why don't you go inside and join your friends to have fun?"I clenched my fist and didn't answer. I heard him chuckle from my back, and I felt him put his black coat on my shoulder. I immediately closed my eyes when his fucking scent ran through my nose. I
"You may now kiss the bride," the priest announced with a wide smile on his face.Ethan and I faced each other. I can hear some murmurs from the crowd as he holds my white veil. His face becomes blurry in my sight because of the tears that are starting to form in my eyes. He looked at me warily; there's no smile on his face. He watched me like a puzzle he couldn't solve.I tried to smile at him, but my lips just trembled.I don't feel it was my wedding. Only our friends are here, and his family. I may be liberated, but I dream of my wedding being something special and memorable. I dream it to happen on a beach while the sun is setting and I am wearing a white dress, smiling as I walk down the aisle... to the man for whom my heart is beating.I like Ethan.No, I love him.I love him, and I married him even though I knew he couldn't love me back. I shouldn't settle for less, yes. But what can I do when all I want to do is be with him? I'm tired... But one touch from him and I'm running
I entered the room through the back door so that I could get away from the media. The last thing I want to happen right now is for them to gossip about my personal life. I don't want them to meddle with my life and ask why my eyes are red and restless."Mom! Where have you been? It's almost an hour since you left!" Jared hugged me tightly when he noticed me walking to their table.I tried to smile a little at him. I witnessed some people near us looking at us. When they met my eyes, they slowly smiled awkwardly at me."Let's go back to our table now, baby," I softly whispered at him.He looked up at me and blinked his eyes innocently at me. He then nodded, and I held his hand as we walked back to our table.Jess looked problematic, but when he saw us approaching, he sighed heavily and in relief."We've been looking at you! Where did you go?" The sincerity was evident in his voice."I just retouched my makeup," I answered in a soft voice.He narrowed his eyes at me, but then he nodded
Almost 3 hours were used for our meeting in the conference room. There are foods prepared for lunch, but I decided to eat my lunch with Jared in my office. Though I can just make my secretary call him and join us here, but I want to talk to him. Our talk last night was, I think, not enough.Manly laughs and sweet chuckles were slightly fading in my ears as I walked out of the room. My secretary was left inside to accommodate the needs of the board. My office is on the same floor as the conference room, so it was easy for me to go in."Mommy!" Jared's eyes widened when he saw me enter my office.I chuckled and welcomed his tiny body for a tight hug. He was sitting on the sofa earlier with his toys and sketching materials when I come over.I pulled out and wandered his face; he's smiling widely at me as I caressed his soft hair down to his face."How are you, hmm?" I softly asked.His eyes glowed and lit up. "Mom! Look at the different designs of the buildings I sketched!" He held my ha
I didn't have any idea that he's the new shareholder! I gave my secretary a deadly look, but he just smiled at me like it's no problem at all! Well, I understand him because he doesn't know about Ethan Falcon. But he could've just told me about some details about the new shareholder!And why is Elyse letting her husband come here and invest in the company of her husband's ex-wife? She should be locking him in her arms, right? Isn't she fucking jealous?When Ethan saw me approaching him, his eyes widened, and there was amusement in his face. My steps are slow, primitive, and elegant. I made sure that I had no emotion on my face as he looked at me. He could've noticed that the chair in which he's sitting is preferred for me. He stood up just as I got to his front.He smirked at me; amusement was written on his face. "You can now take your seat, my queen."I almost puked in the enderment that he uses! My cheeks burned because of embarrassment. It doesn't help that all shareholders and in
