Chapter 21.I mean Charles was going to be there. "He has explored your body enough, and touched almost every part in your body. Why should you be shy?" My subconscious reminded me. That was true, there was no reason for me to be shy.I came out of the dressing room, and walked to where the beach was. "You should come and play volleyball." One of the workers shouted immediately she saw me coming from afar. She didn't have to shout that way, she was giving me the attention that I didn't want.I took in a huge sigh, and then walked to where they were. I saw Charles who was sitting right on the beach, and his eyes were fixed on me. Does he have to amen it obvious that he was staring at me? His stares were so intense, and he didn't he bother to bulge.It was then Andrew came between us, "You look so good." He complimented me, while I let out a soft chuckle, and didn't bother to look back.We were still grouped according to the team that we were. It was time for us to play the volleyball,

Chapter 23.*The Company's Anniversary*Erika's POV.I looked at myself right in the mirror with the cloth I bought yesterday. It looked so good on me. It wasn't up to the one that Charles bought for me, but there was no reason why I had to wear it since I would not be on his date at the bed of everything.I walked out of the room, and it happened that he was downstairs already. To be very honest, he looked so breath taking. The shit he bought really looked great on him."Good evening! You look so great in your suit." I complimented him, and I collected see how sad he was. I wasn't happy with the decision I made.*FLASHBACKS*"You need to make sure that you get to reject him as your mate." Betty called me out."What are you trying to say? I thought you said you wanted us to be friends, and you didn't have to to do." I tried to correct her, but it looked like she was just lying to me the either day."That is why I told you not to trust anyone." My subconscious reminded me."You have no

Chapter 24.Erika's POV.Nobody was allowed to leave the hall as Charles's body was rushed to the hospital. I gasped for breath while I was still wondering what happened. It turned out that he was poisoned."I pray he is okay." That was the only thing that I could tell myself that moment. The police arrived in no time, and they cleared a lot of people, leaving ten of us right in the hall.Betty, Andrew, some few workers and I in the hall. "We have narrowed down the suspects to you ten, and one of you would be amongst those who would have poisoned him." The head police sat on the chair that was right in front of us. He looked so confident as he talked to us. "How sure are you if we were the one who poisoned him? Why would we do that? We don't have any reason why we would do something like that. We are not that kind of personal. So you should better get your facts right. You will never find anything on us." I tried to tell them."You look like you could be the one who poisoned him, sea

Chapter 26.Erika's POV.I came down from the cab, and he walked to meet me where I was. "I did not know that you would be this fast." He led me into his house; he was putting on a short and a big T-shirt."You can have your seat; let me bring my laptop." He stated this and then went upstairs in a hurry. I looked around the house, and the interior designs were okay. He wasn't too much of a minimalist or maximalists. He was quite in between.There was a huge frame that was located right in the middle of his house, and it looked so great." It looked like the picture he took with his family. What he said was really true; his family was from the rich side.I knew his family, but I didn't know him. I bet they must have kept him hidden because he was adopted. Furthermore, I wondered what the little young boy just went through."I'm back!" His voice interrupted my thoughts while I smiled, and then I walked back to him."What were you staring at? Why were you staring?" He questioned me"Your

Chapter 29.Charles POV.I got to the office with a smile on my face. I was so happy that we got sleep together on the same bed. Everything happens step by step, and there would be a time that our body would touch each other.My personal assistant came to meet me where I was, and she was also happy on seeing me. "How is your health? How are you doing?" She questioned me, as we both entered the elevator together. "Why are you not taking the private elevator?" She questioned me, while I shrugged my arm.I didn't know what to reply her with honestly. "I just wanted to go through this route, and see how it was actually going to look like. I am fine also, if I am not find there is no way that I would come to work." I told her, and then she scoffed.Linda had been my personal assistant for a very long time, and I loved the fact that she kept everything between us official. She has been working for me for the past three years, and she hasn't got once tried to pry into my personal life.All o
