The moment they were inside the office, he shot a glare at her, and she could see the fire blazing beneath his eyes.But she refused to be intimidated by the dark look slated on his face."Who the fuck do you think you are?" He flared up. "Who the fuck do you think you are to talk to me like that in front of my employees?"She lifted her shoulder in a half-shrug and muttered. "I’m sorry."She was far from being sorry. He started it, so he should be the one apologizing. She just had to say she was sorry in an attempt to salvage the situation and keep her job.Axel pressed his lips tightly together, as he observed that she doesn’t say, "Sir.""Ms. McBride, I don’t answer to you; you answer to me." He retorted, raking his fingers through his hair in frustration. "And you would address me with respect!"Respect is reciprocal. She would address him with respect only if he addressed her with respect, she wanted to say. But she restrained herself from spewing those words; they would only add
The Sweetest Temptation 19| The hots.
No one has ever dared disrespect Axel the way Reese did today. Her actions was enough to get her fired, but yet, he couldn’t.If he was thinking with his brain, he would have fired her. But no, he was thinking with dick and the build up of spongy tissues and blood vessels in between his legs wouldn’t allow him to fire her. As much as he despised the way she talked to him, he still wanted to keep her close. So as a way of expressing his pent up anger, and show her that she answers to him and not the other way round, he choked her with lots of work. And by the time she was done from the office, she was exhausted!She was on her way out of the company’s building, fuming, cussing, and lost in thoughts, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice say.“Hello, runaway billionaire heiress.” Pulling her out of her reverie.She halted, then swung her head to the side to see Zayn, his back resting on a black Mercedes Benz. “What are you doing here?” She asked, as she inched closer to him. “D
The Sweetest Temptation 20| Simply platonic.
Reese fluttered her lashes as she stared at him in disbelief, utterly flabbergasted at what he just spat out.Did he just ask her to marry him? And he said that ridiculous thing without a change in his countenance? Clearly, he is insane, she thought."Why are you looking at me as if I am an alien?" He asked, a smile tightening his lips."Yes, you are an alien!" She exclaimed. "The words you just spat out are ridiculous and out of this world."He adjusted himself on the seat as he explained further. "Our relationship is going to be simply platonic." A smile curled on his lips. "No sexual relationship or what so ever. Separate rooms and all.""And why are you talking as if I have agreed to your request?" She asked narrowing her eyes. “Your ridiculous request." She rephrased.Ignoring her question, he continued. "We are going to sign a contract. Neither of us must fall in love."Raising her brow, she tilted her head to the side. "And what do I stand to gain from the ridiculous contract?"
The Sweetest Temptation 21| There’s another option, remember?
Lucy was sitting down in the living room, watching a movie, when Reese entered the apartment. "Do you ever stop watching movies?" Reese asked as she freed her feet from her heels. Lucy sprung up and inched closer to Reese. "Handsome movie characters are the love of my life. So, no." She shook her head lightly. "I am never going to quit watching."A smile curled on Reese’s lips as she shook her head lightly. "Maybe if you accept the feelings you have for Harry, you’ll stop being fascinated by movie characters."Lucy chuckled softly before her face suddenly went serious. Noticing the change in Lucy’s countenance, Reese raised her brows and asked, "What is it?""Nothing." Lucy pressed her lips together. "How did you and Zayn get so close to the extent that he is dropping you off at home?" She rolled her eyes. "And you didn’t even tell me about it.""Weren’t you the one who gave him my office address?" Reese asked as she strolled to the bedroom with Lucy hot on her heels. "I didn’t."
The Sweetest Temptation 22| Anger and lust.
As planned, Zayn picked Reese up from her house the following morning and drove her to work. All through the ride, he kept filling her ears with unnecessary chatters, and she kept rolling her eyes all through the ride. Zayn was a talkative and she couldn’t possibly deal with him if she ever agreed to his request. "Bye, see you after work." She said, when he pulled up in the company’s parking space, and she quickly opened the door without waiting for his response.She jumped out of the car, and before she could shut the door, He lifted a finger and said. "Wait!""What is it?" She asked. "Uhm… There’s one more condition I didn’t tell you about. It should be part of the contract clause." He said. Lifting her brows, she nodded her head, urging him to continue."I won’t be faithful," he blurted out. "I’d cheat. Just because I don’t believe in love doesn’t mean I won’t have sex.” His lips curled into a smile. “I love sex!" He said exclaimed, proudly. She scrunched up her face. "Sleep
The Sweetest Temptation 23| Ruin him.
Axel was in his office, swirling on his chair, with his mind clouded with thoughts of Reese. His intention was to keep his distance with her in order to get his senses in check because she was a distraction. But when he was her entering and coming out of another man’s car, he was enraged. And been so close with her in the elevator, staring at her succulent lips, he couldnt control himself anymore.Whenever he was with her, all his senses gets block and he hated it. He hated and loathed the fact that she had so much control over him. A knock sounded on his door, pulling him out of his reverie. “Who is that?” He asked gruffly. “Reese.” “Come in.” Slowly, she opened the door and slipped inside the office, swaying her hips as she sauntered towards his desk. Every turn of her hips, causing his dick to throb under his trousers. Fuck! He hated the woman standing before him. He hated her but still asked her to come to his office to tell him his schedule. He knew he could have just t
The Sweetest Temptation 24| Total disaster!
The meeting with the Chinese clients lasted three hours. Fortunately, Axel was able to push thoughts of Reese to the back of his mind, and he was able to pull through the meeting smoothly, without dazing off.Although it was a really tough one, they came to an agreement that was suitable for Perfect Touch Inc. He was back at his office and was about to go out again for the meeting with the marking team, which they had adjourned to today. They had already come up with a marketing plan for the product that was to be launched the next day—foundation with SPF—but after giving it a second thought, he realized that the plan wasn’t good enough, and they had to come up with another one quickly.After the long meeting with the Chinese clients, his head was on fire from thinking so deeply and hard, and he needed to rest his brain before the next meeting.But he couldn’t. He had no time to rest. They had to get the meeting done with today and come up with a unique marketing idea that would br
The Sweetest Temptation 25| Rising tension.
"Fuck!" Axel exclaimed when he opened the boxes and saw for himself that, truly, the ingredients were not printed on the bottles. How are they going to sell these to customers? No one is going to buy if they don’t know the content of what they are purchasing. He turned to look at the warehouse manager, the fire burning under his eyes so palpable as he spoke. "What are these products still doing here? Get the truck ready and let’s return them to the printing company."Raking his fingers through his hair, he blew out a frustrated breath, and regrets washed through him.All this mess wouldn't have happened if he had taken the product launch to the company's headquarters in New York. They had their own printing company there, and something like this had never happened. If he would remain in London, he had to make sure that he builds a printing company for perfect touch. He hoisted his head up to see that the warehouse manager was still standing there. "Why are you not getting the tru
