Hi guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I moved to another state for school so I've been busy with preparations and settling down in a new environment. I'm a bit settled now so I'll try to update as much as I can. I'm so sorry for the delay. Please you can read the previous chapter before this chapter for a better understanding. Thank you for your support. .........."You're such a tease!" Alexander scoffed upon her last statement.Arianna placed her now empty glass cup and plate on a small table situated by the couch they were both seated on. She closed the gap between herself and Alex, then seductively teased the ends of his hair with h

Pulling up at her destination, Arianna turned off the engine, She unbuckled her seatbelt, reached for her handbag in the front passenger seat, and then helped herself out of the car. After making sure her car was properly secured, She made her way towards the salon. A heartwarming smile crept to her lips when she sighted Beatrice and Emily. Bea was standing at the entrance of the salon with Emily in her arms."Hiiii" Ari smiled the moment she approached the duo."Good afternoon. You look great." Beatrice smiled."Stop flattering me, Bea""I'm not ma'am. No won

"Who let you into my building?" He asked, giving her a nasty glare.She scoffed. "Have you forgotten my father's company was merged with this company by the virtue of our marriage?""And so?" He glared at her."It means this is my building too." She said proudly.Alexander chuckled in disbelief. "You know nothing woman. You're just as dumb as fuck. Is your family's low-budget company the first company Clay International would partner with? How many shares have you even got that give you the right to claim some sort of ownership? You think Anderson Clay doesn't

Arianna was beyond shocked as she stood still and processed all that Alexander said. To be honest, she had expected him to give lame reasons. Never in her wildest dreams will she have guessed that he went through something so psychologically traumatizing.She did nothing but stared at him, Speechless. The moment Alex completed his statement, he left Arianna's sight, went to the far end corner of his office, and poured himself a glass of white wine. He took a few sips, refilled it and then made his way back to his desk. He sat on his chair, took more sips of his wine, before finally placing the glass cup on the table, disregarding Arianna's presence.

Alexander had no idea why he was quite nervous as he drove in the direction of Arianna's apartment. He had dated dozens of women in his lifetime but this was the first time he was actually picking up a woman to go on a date. Then, he didn't have the time to pamper anyone so his ex-lovers usually found their way to the venue.

He had no idea why but he wanted to impress her and that was why he was trying to make tonight perfect by all means.Alex chuckled, wondering what the hell was going on with him. He had never had the need to please a woman. But for Arianna's sake, he knew he would do anything just
