Charlotte left Lucas's office as he demanded and rested on the door as she closed it, wondering what could have happened that made him angry early in the morning.As she walked down the hallway, she reminisced about the conversation she had with Ella the previous night. Ella had advised to resign since she was so scared of him finding out about her identity, that it was only a matter of time before Lucas found out. According to Ella, Lucas George was a conceited billionaire who would stop at nothing to uncover the truth. And if he did, Charlotte would undoubtedly face his wrath for deceiving him.Charlotte wasted no time in tendering her resignation letter, unwilling to risk exposure to Lucas's wrath. She had stated in the letter to stop the following month because she knew she needed to save up some more money, and getting a job within the City was a hassle she wasn't ready for.Later that evening, Charlotte received a call from her ex-boyfriend, Maxwell, who claimed to be waiting ou
Charlotte arrived at work in the early hours of the morning and promptly resumed her tasks. While running errands throughout the day, she chanced upon Lucas conversing with two staff members outside his office. As she passed by and greeted him, he barely acknowledged her, choosing instead to glance in her direction.This made her wonder if he had reverted back to his previous attitude towards her, perhaps realizing that she was not the one he had been searching for all along. The thought was a relief for Charlotte, as she eagerly awaited the end of the month when she would finally be able to leave without any complications.After lunch, as she made her way through the lobby, she noticed a gathering of staff members and cleaners, all assembled at the entrance of the door. This was unusual, as they only did this when welcoming Lucas. However, she had seen him in his office earlier that morning, which piqued her curiosity. She stopped at a distance to observe, and that's when she noticed
As Lucas approached the two ladies, observing their struggles. He had been eavesdropping on their discourse and felt compelled to intervene upon witnessing Elora's hand poised to strike Charlotte, an action that ignited his fury.The ladies' countenances displayed shock as he approached from a distance.Elora hastily withdrew her hand and released Charlotte, trembling with fear."Ms. Elora, did I not explicitly caution you? This is a place of business and should be treated as such," Lucas declared, hands in his pockets."I...I apologize, sir, it won't happen again" Elora stuttered, avoiding his gaze and trembling in fear."Apologize? You were about to strike Ms. Thompson, correct?" Lucas pressed."I'm sorry, sir, she provoked me...she disrespected me," Elora choked out.Lucas' gaze shifted to Charlotte, who stood with her eyes fixed on the ground, before returning to Elora."Does that give you the prerogative to assault a colleague?" Lucas reprimanded."No...no, sir," Elora stammered.
Charlotte's eyes widened as she heard what Lucas had just blurted out, her heart dropped to her stomach as she felt Lucas's breath tingling her neck. How was it possible that he was so sure she was the stripper, there's no way, he just wanted her to admit to his claims, she thought.“Sir I don't know what you are talking about, please let me go, you are hurting me ", she cried out, refusing to give in to his claims.Lucas applied pressure to her hands and continued, “You are still going to lie? How is it that you have the same necklace as the stripper, then? Explain to me!” He fumed.Charlotte struggled with him as tension lingered in the air, she feared what Lucas might do to her if she admitted to it, why was he so desperate to know whether she was the stripper or not? What does he want to do with her? She thought.Charlotte groaned in pain as she tried to distract him to think of an answer to his question.“Answer me, bitch!” He growled.“…. I don't know which stripper you are tal
Lucas stared blankly at his laptop screen, frustrated as he failed at trying to get Charlotte to admit the truth. He was more thwarted at the fact that he couldn't bring himself to tell her that he saw her with Ella at the club. He felt that would have made her feel like she was special for him to have trailed her to the club.The more she lied, the more angry he got, but he wasn't going to give up. He was willing to do anything to make sure she admitted to the truth, he was desperate to know why it was so difficult for her that she had to lie.They went around in circles like that for a week, but Charlotte fended off his advances, still maintaining her innocence and refusing to budge. The more Lucas saw her, the angrier he got that she considered him to be a fool.Charlotte threatened his ego so much because he knew that there were thousands of girls out there willing to have him all to their selves, but she was there denying his existence. The annoying part is he doesn't understand
Charlotte sat in a secluded place at the office building as soon as she left Lucas's office, she reminisced how she watched Lucas caressing the hands of his girlfriend, and an unfamiliar feeling settled in her chest.She didn't understand if it was jealousy, but why would she be jealous? When she knows that they can never be together. She wasn't in his class, to begin with, and she thought that the reason he was so bent on knowing her identity was that he wanted to have his way with her again, even when he knew he had a girlfriend. She sat there lost in thought as she found it difficult to understand the emotions she was feeling at that moment. Then suddenly she got a beep from her phone, it was a text message before she opened it, it indicated that it was a text from Maxwell, and her mood worsened. “What does this scumbag what from me again?” She mumbled.She opened the text message and read that he was requesting to meet her up at her office by 7 pm to take her out to dinner, threa
The feeling of jealousy tightened in Lucas's chest as he remembered how he had seen Charlotte enter into a car while he drove past. What could that man possibly have to offer her that he couldn't? He thought.As the feeling tightened by the minute, he called his friends to meet with him at the club, as he was going to make the most out of the night to get Charlotte off his mind for good. He could not be here killing himself over a girl when there were thousands of girls waiting at his beck and call.At the club, Lucas and his friends were partying with the girls while he lavished so much money. Money was nothing to him, he could shut down the club if he wanted to.In his intoxicated state, one of the girls he was partying with caught his attention, and he decided to take her to his hotel. When they got into his hotel room, they started making out immediately. Lucas carried her up and leaned her against the wall as he kissed her intensively, then after a few minutes he stopped as flas
Charlotte exited his office at his behest, feeling apprehensive as she had never witnessed that side of his personality before. His eyes were ablaze with anger, and if they possessed the power to set her ablaze, she would surely be consumed by now.As she sauntered down the corridor, she pondered what could have triggered his outburst, causing him to hurl his phone in a fit of fury. It seemed she was always around his office whenever he was in a foul mood, becoming the target of his misplaced aggression.The following day, which happened to be a Saturday, Charlotte met up with Ella and a few friends at a restaurant to celebrate Ella's birthday. They were all enjoying themselves when Charlotte noticed a man at a nearby table staring intently at her.Ella noticed first and brought it to Charlotte's attention. The man's intense gaze and smirking visage made her uncomfortable, causing her to stop dancing. Before she knew it, he had approached their table, pleading for the opportunity to sp
