As planned, Luke picked Reese up after work and drove her to the boutique scheduled for the wedding dress fittings. At first, she had expected Axel to rebel and stop her from going with Luke, but he didn’t. He ignored her all through work hours and it hurt her so much that she regretted the fact that she accepted to do the fitting when Axel was against it. She missed him so much that the only thing she could think about as she admired herself in the mirror wearing a beautiful off-white mermaid wedding dress with a detachable skirt that fitted her body perfectly was Axel. And she hated that thoughts of him have been lingering in her head since she left his place yesterday; she hated that an arrogant ass like him was the only one who could please her; she hated that each time he was with her, each time she thought of him, butterflies flutter in her stomach; and what she definitely hated the most at this moment was the fact that she was picturing herself walking down the aisle in the

When Axel got home, he took the pictures obtained from the photographer to the hearth to burn them. Standing by the hearth and staring at the pictures, a soothing warmth saturated his heart, and he couldn’t stop himself from smiling.She looked so beautiful in the wedding dress. When he saw her at the boutique, his pulse pattered to uneven beats at the sight of her inside the wedding dress. Although he tried so hard to avoid staring at her, he couldn’t get her beautiful image out of his head, and for a brief moment, the imagination of her walking down the aisle in that dress flashed through his head, but he ordered that imagination gone, and it obeyed. But right now, staring at the pictures of him and her standing together, those imaginations returned, and yet again, he ordered them gone. But this time around, his imagination defied him. He stood there, fantasizing about getting married to Reese, butterflies churning against his will in his stomach. The sound of his phone ringing

As they ventured into the cafeteria with Chloe's arm hooked around Axel's arm, everyone in the cafeteria stopped eating, and all attention was focused on them."Your employees think we look perfect together." Chloe beamed as they made their way to one of the round tables inside the restaurant. "They can't seem to take their eyes off us.""Stop being delusional, Chloe." Axel sighed as he sat on a chair. "That's not why they are all staring."Giving her shoulders a half-shrug, Chloe sat down across from Axel. "That's why they are staring.”“They are only staring because—“ Axel started, but a waitress suddenly appeared in front of him, interrupting him. "What should we offer you, sir?""What do you want?" He asked Chloe.A smile flashed on her lips. "Spaghetti Bolognese."He darted his gaze at the waitress. "She would have that.""What of you, sir?" The waitress asked."Don't worry about me." Axel said. "I am not hungry; I only accompanied her here to eat.""That's so sweet of you." Chl

As planned, Reese wore the most daring outfit to work the following day. She and Lucy took their time picking out the outfit.She wore a rich green high-waisted leather mini skirt with a half-buttoned white top tucked inside the skirt and pointed-toe high-heeled pumps. She also had red-hot lips on, making her look like the perfect definition of a sexy assistant. The moment she stepped inside the company’s building, a good amount of the male employees couldn’t take their eyes off her, including a few females, and she liked that because that shows that her effort to look sexy was successful.Right now, she was in her office, organizing Axel’s schedule, while trying to imagine how he would react when he sees her. She couldn’t wait to carry out her plan.A knock suddenly sounded on the door, jerking her out of her reverie. "Who is it?" She quickly asked. "Tom.""Oh, come in, please." she said, and the door was pushed open. "Good morning, Reese." Tom said as he ventured inside the offi

"I guess someone is in trouble." The guy said the moment they were alone. Reese sighed. "Today might actually be the day I smack his ass."He raised a brow. "Do you have another source of income?""Unfortunately no." She pressed her lips together. "So apparently, I am not smacking his ass today.""Don’t worry." A small smile touched his lips. "You would be okay."Nodding her head, she leapt to her feet and stretched her hand forward for a handshake. "Thanks for having lunch with me.""It’s my pleasure." He muttered. "I hope to do this with you again someday."Reese flashed her teeth at him as they withdrew from the handshake, knowing full well that they weren’t going to have lunch together again. She only used him to make Axel jealous, and she doesn’t intend to see him again. "I have to get going now before he crumbles down this building." She quickly said, as she started walking away from him. He leapt to his feet and followed her until he caught up to her. "Uhm..." he scratched
