Howard kept his mind on focus but no matter what he do, the naked body of Natasha kept on flashing to his mind.“Damn it, I am going crazy,” he said in exasperation and stood up from his swivel chair. James have called him when he saw him walking out of his office.“Your meeting will start in an hour, where are you going?” James asked him with his forehead creased. Howard never leaves his office when he has an appointed meeting, he will just usually stay inside his office and review the documents. So, James was curious to know if something strange suddenly happened.Howard continued walking and ignored James. Once inside his car, he started its engine and drove to Natasha’s building. Her secretary did not stopped him from coming to her office because she already got used to Howard visiting Nat from time to time. She honestly thinks there is something going on between the two.When the door of her office opened, Natasha was to

Natasha went back to her office that made her secretary furrowed her brows in confusion.“I thought you’ll be back by tomorrow, ma’am,” she said and was about to follow her inside when she stopped her by raising her hand.“Not now, Kendra. I want some time alone,” she told her and slammed the door of her office.She was disappointed by herself. It was just pure business. Why did she suddenly start on thinking about Howard? It doesn’t matter how his touch differs from others. She should have been objective and controlled herself from being emotional. Now, she lost a partnership that her company had been looking forward to.She thought about her current status with Howard right now and how it felt weird that he never fails to make her feel better. What happened between them was just meant to pleasure themselves. She should not develop anything personal feelings towards him. It will be difficult if she just let her g

It’s been a month since she saw Jacob but she still haven’t heard anything from him. So he expects to see him or hear any news about his comeback, but to no avail, there is no single article about him. She’s starting to wonder if she was just mistaken, maybe it is not Jacob. Perhaps, it was just somebody who looks like him. She is not certain so she hired a private investigator to ease her mind.“What have you found?” she asked the investigator over the phone one morning. She is anticipating that he can give her some useful information.“Nothing, ma’am. There is no news about him since he vanished in thin air when he became a suspect for murder a year ago.”Natasha took a huge breath. A year. She can’t believe it has been one year since that case broke out. Time flies so fast, she did not even notice it.“Do you think he is New York?” she whispered, not wanting anyone to hear her though she is alone in her office.The investigator fell silent on the other line for a moment. “I am not

27His father used to scoff and crease his forehead whenever he does something stupid. His father was a man with principles. "Jacob", he would call him back when he was young. They were in the mall and he was looking at some toys. His father notice the way his eyes twinkled whenever he saw a robot toy that caught his attention. "Let me tell you about something you should never do." And then, he would tell him with an aura of a serious businessman who is trying to strike a deal."Never waste your time doing useless things most kids your age does. Instead of playing around, why don't you pick up books and take the opportunity to study while you are still young?" He would tell him. Jacob, then, will divert his gaze to the floor and nodded. He found himself following the rule set by his father. Since then, he will look away whenever he saw a toy at a department store and will search instead for handy and knowledgeable books. His father's voice follows him everywhere. Never do this, neve

ThirtyNatasha is reading something on her laptop when a notification suddenly popped out of her screen. It was an email from a private company. InnoCorp. She narrowed her eyes as she read the message and the attachment from the email. It was an invitation from InnoCorp to attend a prestigious welcome party for the said company. The company is based on Russia but it will open its new office here in New York. She licked her lips and contemplated whether to go or not. Maybe, she will check her schedule first.The letter that had been delivered to Howard back in the restaurant while they were having dinner is still in her head. She wants to know who is behind it. She is worried about his safety because the letter was a really creepy one. Who the hell in their right mind will write a letter written in blood, she thought.She was too deep in her thoughts that she did not notice the continuous knock of her secretary in the door to get her attention. The secretary walked right inside her off
