DAVION."I heard that you called off the project with the foreign investors" Karla accused "We've been working on this for the past two months Davion so how could you make such drastic decisions without letting me know or at least giving me the heads up first?""They called off the project Karla. I had nothing to do with it.""Yeah right because you made them do it." She fired back. Obviously angry at what had happened. I know that news travels fast but it's barely been a day that all of this shit happened so how on earth was she able to find out about it."Who told you?" I breathed out heavily."Does it matter who told me or where I heard it from?" She countered, her hands firmly holding her hips. "The point is that it happened and that's it. You made it happen. They cancelled the project because you made your glorified secretary take the stage instead of doing it yourself.""Olivia is not a glorified secretary." I shunned her. "She's a friend and a very good one at that.""That's n
OLIVIA.Weekdays are probably the busiest days for me and working for a huge multinational company such as this one added to the burden that was already weighing down my shoulders. I wonder how I've been able to cope with all the whisperings, fingers pointings from my colleagues that were so bent on gossiping and back biting me.I knew that they gossiped about me whenever I passed by them and even though they do it in a subtle manner, it still doesn't change the fact that they still judged me.I didn't let it get to me though. They don't know half of what I've been through. They only see the stuff that's being displayed on the internet by the media. They were able to talk shit because deep down, if they were given my shoes, it probably wouldn't fit at all and so I let them. As long as they don't pay my bills of do anything to help me, their words would only be mere words to me and that's it.I arrived at my office the next day and threw my things on the table. I didn't have the liber
OLIVIA."Here's your coffee sir," I placed the cup on his table and took a step back. "I hope that we can put whatever happened behind us and move forward. Is that okay?""I'm not upset with you Olivia and there's no need to put anything behind us." He said with a straight face. "You did what you wanted by accepting a ride from someone else so I won't hold it against you.""You're just saying this now but we both know that it wouldn't take a while before you snap at me again. You always find a way to get upset with me for the tiniest things so I'm getting used to you now."He chuckled. "You're just saying that. I know that you probably hate me for always getting up in your business at the slightest.""I don't hate you Davion." I whispered truthfully. "The thing is, I admire you a lot but only as my boss and nothing else. Whatever happened between us was a mistake and a thing of the moment. I don't want you holding on to what might be and what might not be.""I respect you a lot Davio
DAVION."Shit!" I cussed out loudly at the impact of the coffee that had just stained my shirt. How did I go from arguing to fighting over a cup of coffee with this woman? The things she makes me do is just out of this world."I'm so sorry Sir." She apologized while I tried to wipe off the stains with my hands as if it would make any difference if I do. I stood up from my chair and darted my eyes to the transparent glass to see my already ruined dress."I honestly didn't mean to. If you had just listened and stopped arguing with me then none of this would've happened." She cried out. Her voice had taken a higher note."I only asked you to serve me coffee but you just decided to be Ursula instead."She glared at me wide-eyed. "What did you just call me?""See?" I pointed to myself. "We're arguing again and I haven't even fixed this first problem yet.""And that's because you always get on my nerves." She countered. "Every time, you do so say something that always sets me off. I'm begi
OLIVIA.Damn!Those were the words that escaped my lips as I saw Davion's chest on full display. This man had a lot of assets that was always hidden in those rippling t-shirts and designer suits. How on earth does he look so good being shirtless. He could pass on for a male model in Victoria secrets and no, I'm not exaggerating.The mors I stared at his bare chest, the more engrossed I became and does it feel weird that I actually wanted to touch it? Damn, I'd give anything to touch those hunk of abs that were staring at me right in the face.Come to think of it, I believe that I had already had my share of feeling those abs in my palm. The night when we ended up together, I could've sworn that I ran my hands over them. We had sex naked so it's only proper that I had touched them.I blinked rapidly, taking in the sight in front of me. This man was loaded. Why on earth did I ask him to go shirtless again? Yeah, right!I'm supposed to wash his shirts but suddenly, I think I preferred h
OLIVIA.I made my way out of my office and after gently shutting the door behind me, I took the route that led to Davion's office and stroded towards it. When I arrived, I stood at the entrance and contemplated if I should knock or simply ignore. I chose the later after much hesitation and when I heard his voice giving me the go ahead, I opened the door to make my way through but stopped abruptly.Going in like this meant seeing him shirtless. I might not be able to do anything about it but at least, I can prevent my eyes from drowning in the ocean of his bare, sleek sinew of his chest."Are you not coming?" He urged and after taking a deep breath. I turned my back and slowly made my way backwards into his office.I heard his loud echo of deep chuckle when he saw me but I couldn't care less. I would not loose myself the second time because of him no matter who comes short. He could do whatever he did and laugh at me however he wanted to but it simply isn't going to change a damn thin
DAVION.I tried to stifle my laugh when she closed her eyes. She must have thought that I wanted to kiss her. I mean, I do. I would give anything in the world to have a taste of those lush, plump lips and in a very sober mood this time around. Her eyelash settled perfectly to frame her face and I took my time to admire the beauty standing in front of me. The last time I did have a taste, we were both drunk and neither of us were able to savor the moment properly.I would give anything to go back to that day and I would give anything to have warned myself not a take a drink or get drunk because I would be meeting Olivia but I didn't and besides, wishes weren't horses that we could ride.They were merely a fiction of our imagination. Plus, everything definitely happens for a reason. If I had been in the right frame of mind, I probably would not do anything to hurt Olivia. I knew that no matter what happens, I wouldn't be able to get intimate with her because I wasn't that type of perso
DAVION.I made my way outside the company's building with Olivia trailing a few feet behind me. I had no idea why she chose to stay that far away when we were literally going towards the same direction. I think it's because maybe, she doesn't want anyone spotting us together.She had always talked about how much she hated this place and how nosy the people were so it's only given that she tries to stay away from them as much as possible.We arrived at the parking lot and I opened up the door for her. She got in immediately and I shut the door after her before taking the wheel. Once seated, I started the ignition and pulled out of the building.The ride to her house was quiet and I couldn't help but wonder why? Olivia was never the one to keep quiet about anything. She always said something and made sure to give me an earful at the slightest so I don't know why she was suddenly quiet.Was she still feeling shy about what had happened earlier? Or was it my imagination playing tricks on
