Rough Play
Wine whose taste blended with the best chocolate bar she had ever eaten sent an orgasmic feeling right down her throat, Soft jazz music playing from the stereos, making her ears wish to live there, to flirt with the light baritone voice, The subtle fragrance permeating through the air purifier, The purposive smoke rising from the purifier as well, clouding the middle of the room where Adonis rotated his body which was capable of assassinating every woman with wetness, Adonis himself behind a veil, having cast the room in fiery red shades, making it so that only the silhouette of his body could be seen even when his image showed in the mirrors. That was right, mirrors. One of the settings he had changed the once normal room to before he started dancing had been to make the command, 'Activate mirrors' and 'Release the veil' which had been followed immediately by the walls seeming to turn upside down, mirrors replacing the paintings just as a tra

Bitter Awakening
She understood then what the whole evening had been about. Scratch that, he had started planning this in the afternoon, or perhaps in the morning and had only started executing his plans at noon.  Asking for her opinion, holding her hands, buying her that cake, all had been a strategic build up for the strong manipulative game he had already mapped out. And to think that she had gone ahead with them all, a pawn in his board, smiling and blushing and being so well-damn seduced she had begged him to fuck her. Oh shit, her skin reddened for a different reason as she gave him a nudge, making him disengage from that entanglement of deceit and manipulation. "Cara, what is it? You want to sign it now so we can begin?" Clara scoffed, her heart burning in fierce anger. "You never had any plan of keeping me as your executive assistant right?" Right, he had spent the last few days burdening her with work, and then intentionally asked her to get a week's wor

Spiced up Looks
The automated doors slid close behind Gonzalo who took quick strides to catch up with his boss, his eyes focused on his iPad, while he quickly searched for the document that Andre had asked for, and these he did without missing a step. His meticulousness as well as his ability to multitask was the reason he had been chosen as the international chief of staff as well as Chief Secretary. Sometimes, people who were yet to meet the CEO mistook him to be the head of the entire corporation, because his mannerism and choice of clothes were of standard quality. So were his looks. But one look at Andre and there definitely couldn't be any question of who was the boss of whom. He didn't need any introduction to be understood as the long-awaited delicious meal, while Gonzalo was the appetizer. Although the Spanish Chief Secretary was mouth-watering snack especially with that calm attitude of his which blended with his polite aloof personality. It was rare to see him ran

She's the Boss
Clara recounted one of the quotes in a motivational book she had been reading on how to be a respected boss, taking deep breaths as her pulse and heartbeat quickened in succession. She had again followed Gonzalo behind Andre out of the conference hall, ignoring the stares of the board and executive members, ladies in gentlemen in expensive suits and dresses who had nothing better to do than to make background comments about her.  As they approached the hallway that led to their offices, Andre halted in his steps, turning to her. "Ms. Lynn, this project is very important to help us establish a strong footing in Europe. Don't mess it up." Her heartbeat went all haywire again, pounding in such a frenzy she could hear it. She nodded, swallowing a lump of anxiety and nervousness. "I won't."  He stared at her for a few seconds before he nodded, "Alright then, I'll be expecting perfect results." He went into his office with Gonzalo who started expl

Lady Boss
"Thanks for the tip, ma'am' "It's okay, Gwen, you can just address me by my first name." Clara countered with a smile, yet again attempting to make the other woman whom she could only guess was her age mate or a little younger than she was, comfortable.  "Oh ahem...Ms.... Clara, thanks, you're a great boss." Guinevere had a smile fixated on her face, the same smile she had whenever Clara returned to find her prepared to leave in the evening. It had been a shock the first time she had come ringing the doorbell early one morning, and introducing herself as the cleaning lady employed by Mr. Quinn. Well, one quick phone call to her boss and her shock had been replaced with something close to amazement. Most of the time, Clara still couldn't get the hang of this new life of hers. She drove to work every morning in a dashing red Maserati dressed in one of the classy dresses arranged in her walk-in closet, and had a meeting with the assistants who nodded to eve

Mr. Asshole... His Match
"My secretary must have misinformed you, you've only been placed in the team in charge of the new project. You aren't fired." It was the next good thing Clara had heard from her boss, the best being when he had agreed to make her a permanent employee with the benefits attached to it. She exhaled a long breath of relief, unaware that she had been holding it for that period of time. Or perhaps it was the exhilaration from practically dashing to the show room where dummies of their latest invention were displayed. The programmers and web designers working on the project were there as well, many of them in suits and glasses, their fingers firing away at the keyboard. In addition to their production of devices capable of accepting 5G and 6G networks, they were developing websites and apps which could download 1GB per second. It had taken its toll on them, keeping their bones sore from hours of seating at the desk, testing samples and writing codes, but everythin

Assisting Mr. Laurent
Leon Laurent wasn't going to let go of what happened that morning so easily, Clara had observed within an hour of being in his presence. He brought it up when she had subtly attempted to lay her complaints about how he was driving with her in the front seat, and made a joke of it when she hadn't wanted to go to a restaurant with him.All within an hour.She was exhausted already having to follow him around Manhattan while he purchased everything he could find in stores and signed autographs for fans who happened to recognise him.And that fucking happened most of the time.After these two months, Clara couldn't believe she would be bullied again. That was definitely the one way of describing everything about Leon, and he did that while flashing his annoying mischievous smile and winking as though he were a pro. Scratch that he was. He had only taken time to tap her car with his fingers before going to open his passenger's seat for her, insisting she gets

Back in Control
"Did something happen to Mr. Laurent while you were out with him?" Clara had practiced the reply to this interrogation in front of the mirror more times than she could count, and yet found herself faltering in front of Andre Quinn who was seated behind his desk as usual, so effortlessly domineering she almost admitted to punching their company model immediately."Oh... Not that I know of, sir. What happened?" She had linked her fingers together so they wouldn't give her away somehow.Andre tapped his fingers on the table. "He called the director to say he bumped his head against the wall or something." Clara relaxed visibly, having lost all the arrogance that had kept her going last night when she had driven Leon to their hotel where he was lodging. "Oh... Ahem, that would affect the shoot right?" Yeah, he obviously wouldn't stand before the cameras advertising his eye patch. She could effectively say that she had jeopardised the

A Sexy Acquaintance
He hadn't styled his hair; having seemingly showered a few minutes back. His hair was let down, and for the first time, she noticed how long it was for a male; It was almost shoulder length and  covered part of his face, making him look more casually beautiful."Hi sweetheart." He smiled as soon as he spotted her by the door, looking visibly pleased to see her.Clara took in his appearance with appreciative eyes, but masked them immediately as well. "Hey, how are you doing?"Leon smiled again, stepping aside to let her into the room. He didn't say anything till she entered the spacious suite which was basically a luxurious home. It was made up of multiple rooms; one of the few suites which made provisions for a kitchen and allowed the guests to cook if they wanted. It was also customised according to each occupant's taste.It was the most expensive room as well; the Queen's Suite. The furniture was posh and suited the interior decor of t

One Genius, One Jealous...
It had only taken few words on Leon's part to convince Mr. Quinn that he wasn't crazy, especially since the former really looked enthusiastic for some reason. "But you aren't healed yet." Andre had stated the obvious, looking at the younger man with hooded eyes. Well, Laurent wasn't the type to back down easily, he had pulled out the seat next to Clara and sat, smiling as he talked. "It occurred to me this morning that this could be the idea that would sell the products more.  I could be shown looking for ways to successfully hide this scar; make up is harmful and the brushes ache when I try to apply foundation. So I take a selfie with the camera and edit it..." "To show how well the camera can hide it." Andre chipped I'm immediately, his voice higher Clara had ever heard it to be. It carried the same excitement as Leon's and they were both smiling, nodding their heads in understanding. She got to admit that Leon was smarter than she had thought
