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
The Sweetest Temptation 26| Jealousy or disgust?
Tom was able to get four printing companies to do the jobs, and the employees that would place the labels on the bottles were already at the warehouse, waiting for the companies to deliver the labels. The first batch of labels arrived in two hours, and everyone got to work. Axel kept going around, supervising and shouting at them to work faster. They were too slow, and if they continued at that pace, they might not be able to finish in time for the launch tomorrow. His eye caught the attention of an employee who made a mistake while placing the label and had to discard it and pick another. "Hey you!" He yelled, pointing his index finger at her as he sauntered to where she was, ready to go nuclear on her for wasting the label. "What’s your name, and why can’t you fucking do it right?" He snarled. "I’m sorry, sir." She apologized, the perturbation in her voice palpable."Mr. Griffin," Reese called.He darted his gaze at her. She was sitting on a bench with her legs crossed.She l
The Sweetest Temptation 27| Perfect husband.
What a total jerk! Reese thought, fuming with anger, as she stared at the box of the unreleased foundations in front of her.She should have never given him the suggestion of using labels. If she hadn’t, he wouldn’t have made her do the tedious work she’s about to embark on. Blowing out a frustrated breath, she opened the box to bring out the bottles and get to work, but her heart skipped a beat and she quickly hoisted her head up when she felt a very strong presence before her. Axel. His hand was close to her hair, and he quickly caught it when she lifted her head. Why was his hand close to her face, and why was he standing there? She thought, as confusion spread across her face.He was standing so close to her that she could hardly breathe."How can I help you?" She asked breathlessly. Right. What was he doing there? Why was he so attracted to her? He thought, scratching his temple. "Mr. Griffin?" She called when she didn’t get a response from him."Uhm." He pinched the bridge
The Sweetest Temptation 28| Crazy about you.
Axel was standing there, his heart beating fast against his ribcage as he waited for their response. No, this can’t be. Could it be that she had been engaged all this time and had been cheating on her fiancé?But her cheating on her fiancé wasn’t what was troubling him. It was the fact that she was someone else’s and not his."Uhm, that’s not it." Reese quickly said, cutting through his thoughts. Before he could reply, she continued. "What are you doing outside?"She had to change the subject, because there was no way she could possibly tell him that she and Zayn were planning a marriage of convenience—which she hadn’t agreed to anyway. His eyes narrowed as he gazed at her. It was obvious that she was trying to change the subject because she didn’t want her little secret to be revealed. Nodding his head, he decided to let it go for that moment and confront her later. "I came out to receive some fresh air." He replied to her question. But that was a lie!She was gone for too long
