I had to touch you with my hands. I had to taste you with my tongue. One can't love and do nothing. *** Beauty's POV . After a few hours, the janitor knocked on the open door and entered the room. I had no smile when I looked at him as I was battling to finish the revision. He nodded halfway and smiled at me. While carrying cleaning tools, he never spoke and only raised his hands slightly. I gave him a nod and returned to my work. I can occasionally hear the janitor moving around. His cleaning is limited to the area before my desk. He is prohibited from entering the CEO's office. The office is off-limits to everyone except me. That's why it has become my sister's job to clean her boss's office, and now it has become mine. I stood up after an hour to get the reports on the side but couldn't reach the desired number in the filing cabinet towering to the ceiling. I looked around me. I thought I saw a stool the other day, and I used it to reach some files that were out of my reach.
"It means purity and holiness, Beauty, and at the same time jealousy and infidelity." -Drew James Mondragon- . Beauty's POV . I got so busy after returning and continued what I had to do. When I returned to my desk, Drew Mondragon was nowhere to be found, and I felt relieved. Now, I'm wearing a full-body suit to ensure that no part of my skin is visible. I paused when I heard someone clearing a throat behind me. He almost rested his chin on my shoulder, looking at the monitor and all the papers in my hand. "Yes, Bobita? Anything I can do to help you?" I sighed and didn't look at him. I'm on the last page after four hours and can't wait to finish this. I spun my swivel chair, yawned, and stretched my arms to face him. But my jaw dislocated on my mouth the moment I saw his face. It was not Bobita, but the mighty Drew Mondragon was now in front of me. Oh, heck! I closed my mouth, pressed my lips together, and held my breath for barely ten seconds. Our eyes locked, and I saw the
Drew's POV."Hi, Mom. How are you? I hope you're doing well," I clenched my teeth tightly, attempting to suppress my emotions.For a reason, I felt comfortable taking Beauty with me. There's something about her that captivates me. I don’t know how to explain this. I'm still in the process of trying to figure out my true feelings towards her.I couldn't let go of her even that night. The next day, I tried to get her information, but to my surprise, her profile landed on my desk as the substitute secretary, Amalia's sister.She looked so damn stunning and alluring every day. She became more and more beautiful every time I saw her. I could stare at her forever, and I would never get tired.From inside my office, she was unaware that the electric blinds were built with advanced technology, allowing me to see her every movement.Dammit. I could not deny my feelings. I'm captivated and fascinated by her. She's a goddess in every sense of the word to me, even though she's messy regarding pa
Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart. *** Beauty's POV . "Thank you, Bobita! This is my dream, and I can't wait to ramp on stage together with the models," I exclaimed in the line. It's an honor that Bobita wanted me to be on his team. "I have to ask your boss permission first, okay? I can't just pull you out from him. I have to ask the dragon." He rawr and I laughed. "Sure! I'm sure my boss will agree to this. Thank you, Bobita! I will see you tomorrow," I said, ending the call. I jumped and danced around with joy. This is a rare opportunity for me. To ramp up the stage, carrying different brands of Monde Corporations is an ample opportunity for me. This is the beginning of my dream. THE morning comes. I arrived at the office very early. I cleaned up Drew's office, making sure that everything was fine. Today, Drew will be back from his out of town, and for a silly reason, I kind of miss him. It was eleven o'clock when I decided to see B
Beauty's POV . Bobita nearly fainted the moment Drew and his friend evaporated the place. I could still feel my heart beating so loud that it nearly deafened my senses. My knees are still shaking. "Oh my goodness! That was crazy, Beauty." Bobita hugged me. I thought he embraced me for something, but the heck! The feminine side of Bobita emerged as he sniffed Drew's coat on me like a canine investigating a scent. "Oh God! Mr. Drew James Mondragon's coat smells so good. I want to kiss and eat him." He rested his face on my shoulder, rubbing the coat's arm on his face. I twisted my lips and shook my head. "Stop it. Let's go." I grabbed Bobita's hand and pulled his body out alongside me. I can't wait to go back to my desk. I'm pretty sure I have loads of work to do by now. By the time I entered the office and saw that there was nothing on my desk, I felt relief. I thought I would become a zombie tonight because of work. Thank goodness it's not. Beauty, Coffee for two inside. Dre
If I were blind, within my heart, I could still see the beauty that is you.***Beauty’s POV.“I’m sorry, Beauty, but you have to talk to Sir Drew. I’ve told him about it, and he wants to hear it from you,” Bobita said in dismay.My shoulder inflated. I hadn’t slept well last night thinking about Mr. Atticus’ offer. It was my luck, but my dragon boss took it away! And now he wants to hear it from me? Seriously!?“This is insane, Bobita.” I sat down feeling defeated.“That’s why be good to your boss. Talk to him nicely why you want this. I know this is supposed to be your choice, but Mr. Drew Mondragon wants to hear it from you.”I took a deep breath and pouted a little bit. “Don’t you know that Mr. Atticus Mondragon offered me the opportunity to become his model yesterday? And that Drew’ the dragon’ took it away!”“What? Y-You mean Art Atticus Mondragon? You’ve met him?” Shocked, Bobita’s eyes almost pop out.“He was with him yesterday. That was Atticus Mondragon,” I answered.“Oh my
Beauty's POV . I was powerless to resist. Drew's eyes beamed with a challenge. My heart jolted, and a quiver surged through my veins. What is this? Is he giving me a test or tempting me with a kiss I can't resist? I swallowed tightly as he dropped his head to where our knees touched. He gripped the chair's ends and pulled it closer, fitting my knees in between his. "That's cute," he smirked, looking at me intently with a cheeky smile. My brows slightly crossed. I lifted my chin, daring him to look at me even more. "Drew Mondragon," I muttered under my breath. He never smiled, and his eyes were still glued to mine. "Be tough, Beauty. This is the reality of your dreams. They will offer you something in exchange for sex. Some are vulgar as they want to taste you badly. You've got the body, the beauty, plus your name is Beauty." Drew's jaw tightened, and his eyes turned down, staring at my legs. "And I won't let that happen, Beauty. I will never allow anyone to touch you, darling,
Beauty’s POV . I bang my head on the table because of my stupidity. Why do I get lost and forget myself whenever I am with him? This didn’t happen with Jasper because I always had my boundaries every time Jasper kissed me. But when it comes to Drew, I forgot everything! I looked at his office. The door is shut. I can’t wait to finish the workload on my table and get off from work. I don’t want to see him again. If it’s only possible, then I prefer to be invisible in front of him. I sat down and held the papers in my hand, but Drew’s kisses clouded my mind. Oh my goodness! I need to take a break. I stood up, grabbed my sling bag, and was about to leave the office when I saw Bobita running towards me. The smile on his face was like he had won something. “Beauty, dear!” he exclaimed, gaining attention from the people around the hallway. “Psst, quite. My boss is inside.” I gestured, placing my pointy finger on my lips. “Oh, sorry.” Bobita’s eyes beamed as he looked at Drew’s off
