ANDREA. I finally returned to California with Diego after the conference. I successfully avoided him for the rest of the day. The night before we returned, I insisted on not having dinner or taking a shower because I never wanted to stay close to Diego for a second. I ended up sleeping on the couch in the living room of that suite in Las Vegas. As if Diego noticed my distance, he never tried forcing me to do whatever I declined to. When I woke up the morning we were to travel back to California, I felt a duvet wrapping my whole body completely on the couch, a smile crossed my lips. I shouldn't be smiling though, it was just a kind gesture from him, it meant nothing. Well,we got back to California and I resumed work instantly. I tried to keep my distance from Diego and he wasn't really requesting much from me regarding being his executive assistant. Most times Jack carried most of the CEO tasks.“Hi, Andrea. Can you check out these designs for the rebranding workshop and tell me wh
ANDREA.I couldn't fathom what Diego's deal was. Why was he giving me that look? “He looks quite cold. I barely get to see his face. Jack is quite preferable” Mia in a low voice. I sharply turned my gaze away from Diego. Didn't know I stared longer than I should. I don't have to make it obvious that I had something going on with him. “Mr Affleck…” A female voice reverberated through the studio and our gazes fell on Alexis Thompson swaying her hips flirtatiously to Diego's end. “I accepted the proposal as soon as I realized it was a brand affiliated with the DND's empire.” Alexis said with a smile. “She is flirting with him…” Mia nudged me. A heavy sigh crossed my lips, I shouldn't be concerned, it means nothing. “You look younger and handsome in person. After work, maybe we could have dinner together or I can…..” Alexis's words hung in the air as Diego interrupted sharply. “No…” He cut her off, his voice dripping with iciness. A sharp yet low chuckle slithered from Mia's lip
ANDREA. What the heck is going on? This just happened like a flash. Where did Diego appear from to even know what went down? Had he been watching us secretly? “What, why? You can't fire him just like that?!” I argued. “why?” He turned to me. “he is a bastard” “But this has nothing to do with you? I was handling everything just fine!” I retorted. The colleague at the floor wiped the light cut at the corner of his lips as result of the heavy blow as he rose to his feet, his body slightly shaking. “He tried to assault you!” He barked.“He wasn't assaulting me!” I shot back..“Come on, are you that daft?! After pouring you drinks? Didn't you guess or know what he wanted?” Diego barked and I furrowed my brows, he had been watching me the whole time? “But that's none of your business!” I shot back. “I'm sor…ry…sorry sir….. please give me another chance!” He stuttered. Diego turned to him with a heavy glare. “Get your stinking ass out of here or I get the security to do that for yo
DIEGOI can't believe I came to the office after Andrea said I haven't been around for a week. I wonder if she has gotten over me so quick that she jumps from men to men. I was seated in my office, my eyes shooting daggers at Lucas and Andrea. That bastard, Lucas, was helping her carry files and they were laughing intensely. What the heck was funny? I always feel pent up anger whenever Andrea gets entangled with any man!My office had a switchable glass wall that can change from transparent to opaque with the click of a remote so I was able to see them walking past the hallway. Jack, who was standing in my office to make a report , followed my gaze and caught on to what I was staring at. “Don't tell me you want to fire him, he is one of the smartest employees we have here” Jack said and I flashed him a glare. “Mm. …Mmmm….”He cleared his throat. “If you have done this much for her, then why aren't you taking over like you have always done in the past” Jack said. I know, right? I
ANDREA. I was mad at myself, I have tried so hard to resist Diego. I have tried so hard not to think about him but he keeps invading my mind at every passing moment. I keep thinking about him, I keep wanting to be in his arms, I keep wanting his firm lips on mine, I keep wanting his touch. I tried so hard to push him away when he was kissing me. It took a lot of courage for me to do it. I hated that I reacted to him this easily. I hated that he always caused a stir between my legs. No one had ever been able to do that. I hated the fact that he knew how much effect he had on me. I hate him but I also want him. I kept denying this fact. Life kind of feels empty if I'm not with Diego. I couldn't help but wonder if Diego was insecure about the fact that there were other men around me. Were they a threat to him? My lips went numb to his words because I wasn't sure if it was for a good cause. He just wants to have me around without any commitment or something serious. “Strip” He demand
ANDREA. Why do I only seem to come to my senses after Diego must have finished doing whatever he wanted with me. I can't lie, it was a wonderful orgasm Diego gave me today. I couldn't concentrate on anything else. “What did you discuss with the CEO? You spent quite a lot of time there..” Mia said and I felt my cheeks burning with heat. “Well… I … we just talked about work” I stuttered, a wave of heat washed over me as I fanned myself. I might make it obvious to Mia that I had something going on with Diego..“Are you okay?”Mia asked, her eyes boring into mine.“Don't I look okay?” I inquired, letting out a weird subtle chuckle..“You don't look okay. Your cheeks are so red….” She revealed, observing me closely. I gasped, my hands going over to cup my cheeks. Lucas approached me instantly and dropped a bottle of suja juice on my desk. “Thought you might need something to refresh yourself” He winked and Mia chuckled. He walked away and Mia quickly nestled closer as she whispered.
ANDREA. Diego was the client? What sort of prank was this? “Andrea….” My name slipped through his mouth softly and I could sense the deep longing in his gaze. Did he send away the client too? But Jack did say I was representing him. “What's going on? I'm quite confused” I expressed and he chuckled, having my heart skip a bit..He walked towards me and gently grabbed my wrists. “I'm the client and you are my date” He muttered, his deep blue eyes fixed on me while he gently caressed my hands with his thumb. It felt so warm. “What …..what …do you mean?” I shot back, my voice cracking a bit. His date? I hope this is not a dream or me being delusional. He nestled closer, his hot breath fanning against my ear. “You look breathtaking tonight” he whispered and planted a soft kiss on my cheeks and my whole body shuddered, leaving me numb and fazed with my heart pounding in my chest. Why was he being this sweet? This side of him is making millions of butterflies swarm over my belly. H
ANDREA. “Earn it if you want me” I said with a bold expression. I can't explain where that boldness came from but I guess the excitement really rippled through my body. It is giving me happy and bold hormones. Diego fixed his gaze on me for a while, his eyes seemingly surprised and confused. He cleared his throat and stared at me longingly. “You want me to earn it?” He asked and before I could utter any other word, he bent over the table, crawling towards me from beneath. I gasped out loudly, taken aback by what he was doing. “Diego, what are you….?” I inquired, a hint of amusement flashing over my tone.He raised his gaze while I lowered my chin, watching him on his knees beneath me,his hands rested on my thighs. “I want to earn it, Andrea. Shall we continue from where we stopped in the morning?” He questioned with a smug grin etched on his face. I let out a soft laugh. “You are something you know” He pushed back my red dress and dipped his head in between my legs.“Diego!”
