The following morning, Axel left his father’s mansion as early as possible and reported to the company. Without wasting time, he began meeting with different departments in the company without taking breaks. The moment a team files out of the boardroom, another team files in. He was tired and needed to rest, but he wanted to get everything done as soon as possible and return to London—to Reese.Damn! He has never missed anyone as much as he misses Reese. He didn’t know her absence was going to affect him this much. He misses everything about her—and surprisingly not just their sexual encounters. He also misses her company.By the time he finished meeting with all the departments he needed to meet with, it was already 5:00 pm, and he was beyond exhausted.He was back at his office, and his office was still exactly the same as when he left it; nothing had been touched. Although the cleaners do clean it from time to time.He had a heap of documents on his desk, and he had to go through e

It’s been hours since Reese received Axel’s call and talked on the phone with him, but she still hasn’t stopped thinking about it. When she saw his call, she thought it was about work, but she was surprised when she realized it was not. Why would he call her as early as 6 a.m. just to ask her how she was? She thought. And it was around 1:00 a.m. in New York since London was five hours ahead of New York. She couldn’t stop thinking about him, and she really wished he was there with her. Two days in the office without him seemed like two months. She didn’t know that she was going to miss him this much. Fuck! She couldn’t wait for him to come back so that they could explore each other’s bodies to the full extent. Memories of what happened in his office before he left for New York flashed back at her, and she closed her eyes as she allowed herself to relive everything in her head. Her pussy became wet at the thought of Axel, and she could feel it, but she wasn’t going to touch herself

The day passed by in a whirlwind, and Axel got so busy with the two days' worth of piled-up work that he was supposed to do while he was away. He didn’t get to spend time with Reese; they barely even talked since their encounter in the elevator, as she was also busy with work in her office. He kept glancing at his watch at regular intervals. No matter how busy he got, he was determined to stop Zayn from taking her home that day and take over his position as the one who drives her home after work and brings her to work the next day.He couldn’t allow them to spend time together because he had seen the way Zayn looked at her and he didn’t trust him. He couldn’t lose her to him.The next time he glanced at his watch, the time was five minutes to four—five minutes until Reese left work for the day—and he sprung up, abandoning all the work he was doing. Grabbing his car key, he rushed down to the underground parking lot and drove his car to the front of the company’s building. Fortunat

"Do you like it?" Axel asked Reese, as he took a bite of the French toast in his hand. They were at the dining table, eating, with his gaze fixed on her. She hoisted her head up to look at him. "Not bad, but Daniella makes better French toasts."He raised a brow. "Who is Daniella?""Daniella?" She took a bite of her French toast and swallowed before she continued. "Daniella is my friend." She lied. Daniella wasn’t her friend. She was the cook in her father’s mansion, and she couldn’t have told Axel who Daniella really was because she didn’t want him to know that she came from a wealthy family. Letting him know about her social status would make him want to know why she was working for him since her family was wealthy, and she knows very well how things might turn out, which is why she lied. "The one I met at your house last Saturday?" He asked, raising his brow. "No." She shook her head. "That’s Lucy."He took a bite of his French toast. "You have too many friends.""Do you even

"Wake up!" Reese heard a distant voice say, and that voice was followed by a light tap on her arm, and she adjusted herself on the bed."You’ll make us go late for work if you don’t wake up now." The voice continued, and she quickly flicked her eyes open.Axel was sitting right beside her, looking at her, with a smile touching his lips. "Sleepy head." He said, taking his hand to her cheeks, he caressed it slightly. "I’m not." She mumbled and tried to close her eyes again, but Axel held her shoulders and shook her vigorously until she flicked her eyes open again."Stand up and get ready for work." He said, as he gazed down at her. "Can’t I get a little more sleep?" She whined. He shook his head. "We are getting late for work already."She heaved a sigh before reluctantly seating up. "What time did you come to bed yesterday?" She asked. After Axel went to the study yesterday, he didn’t leave the study before she went to bed. His dinner was taken to the study. He just kept working n
