Regina's POV I had a lot on my plate that morning, a sweet sunny bright Wednesday morning, yet work files were scattered on my desk, works that needed to be submited in less than two hours time. Damn it! "How am I suppose to do all of this in two hours time? Huh? Regina, you are so dense. So stupid...do you even deserve this managerial position, tell me?" As if to make things worse, I'd just been alerted that I was needed in the training office for my training immediately after break. Knock. It was a slender lady by the door, Amara, she was assisting Nicholas now that Mike had not been around for the past three days now! What happened to him? Amara was not a friendly lady. When I had asked about Mike, just one cold look from her had signified the amount of hatred she felt for me. I was having a lot of enemies lately, and I didn't understand why! "Mr Nicholas would like to see you now. It's urgent." She announced briefly before walking out. A heavy frustrated sigh escaped my lip
Regina's POV I shrugged off that thought and reminded myself that I was still angry with him. "You need to start standing up for yourself. If you need anything, I'll be here to assist you. Isn't that the whole point, I thought you'd have known that by now. Mike and I are here for you." This statement softened my heart. No one has ever been there for me. No, when I thought about it, I realized how true that was. Dan was only with me because of the sex? I don't know. Kimberly apparently always loved Dan even while we were dating and she never told me for once! And Mary and Tania? They were supposed to be my friend. "Thanks that really means a lot to me." I gave a genuine smile. Seeing that we were bonding and whatever, I decided to try my luck again. "By the way, you really have to tell me what's wrong with Mike. Please." That soured look returned to his face. "His mom is dying. I mean, she has been unresponsive to treatment, her blood pressure spiked and um...well that's it."
Regina's POV. The next few days at work had been great! To add to the sweet mood, Mike had sent words that his mother was already responding to treatment! She would be discharged in a week's time and he would be back at work. And now, it was Friday, I was eager to head home early. Once it was past break, I knew it was only a few more hours before we closed. Now, did I have any thing fun to do at home? Of course not. But the thought of heading back home was always so satisfying. Something annoying was bugging me though. Dan. Dan always sent notes...somewhat threatening to me. I knew it was time to move out, I wanted to go someplace else where Dan or anyone didn't know I existed! And Mike's agent had gotten a place for me. I just didn't know if I was ready to leave or not. The last note from Dan had hardened my mind on leaving. He was giving me one last chance, Dan? Giving me one last chance! How rude of him. I made a mental note to go over this weekend to see the apartment and
Regina's POV"But I only took your glasses, I didn't take any bracelet!" I tried to explain. The commotion just kept getting loud and loud. Nicholas stepped in, "what's going on here?" Madam Georgia took the opportunity to explain. "She stole my bracelet. And won't confess to her crimes, I mean, what a thief she is!" "I didn't take anything. I swear it!" I was already getting frightened. When Lizzy said I would pay for what I did on Wednesday, maybe she really did meant it and unlike me, she wasn't bluffing. Clearly, this was a set up. But how to defend myself and prove my innocence is what I was afraid I couldn't do. I wasn't a thief! My eyes met with Nicholas and damn it, I could feel tears building up as my eyes became teary. "Regina is not a thief. This is all wrong!" Dawn kept on saying. "Why don't we search her? Its clear you won't find anything with her but let's search her to prove her innocence, I'll volunteer. Let's search her right now. Regina, where's your bag?." "Y
Regina's POVI didn't know why but I was so relieved when Nicholas offered to take me somewhere. I sat down while he ordered for drinks for the both of us.It still didn't make any sense."What doesn't?" I heard him say and I blinked."I said that out loud?" Nicholas stared at me like I'd just hit my head somewhere. "You've been murmuring all through the ride home. I barely understand a word of what you've been saying." I looked down to the table, "it just doesn't make sense, Nick." "Call me Nick again, and I'll--"I didn't hear the rest of it. Or maybe he didn't say anything thinking I would get the messages. I didn't even care. Why would he be extra sensitive whether I called him by his full name or not?"Think about it. Why did you think she did it? I'm never too bothered about betrayals. That's why I don't trust anyone, or have any friend at all."I sighed at that. I was tired of hearing that he didn't trust anyone. "You have Mike. He's like your best friend ever." "You can be
Regina's POV "Do you need any help?" I need Nicholas said."No it's fine. I'm fine. Thanks, and good night Nicholas." I watched him get back in the car and drive off before storming over to Dan, who, by the way had been yelling and spewing all kinds of words out about me sleeping with my boss. It was like I should slap him so hard so he won't be able to speak again. "Must you continue to embarrass me like this, huh? Get the hell out of here right now!" I roared out."I'm here because I care about you. I heard they tried to frame you at work today. It's such a shame. I just hope something worse don't happen some other time, if you continue to be this disobedient."Hearing these words, I couldn't believe not one of it at all. "So it was you?"He shrugged, smiling to himself. It was brief, now that frown had returned again. "You will always be punished, what part about that don't you understand! I want you back, will I have to spell it out loud? Why are you still with that loser? I wi
Third POVThis was not how Lloyd pictured their conversation would go. How dare that low life Regina try to speak to her in that manner? She was really getting ahead of herself, huh? But still...Lloyd couldn't blame her because of that strange man that's always beside her. Who could be be?She rolled her eyes and ignored after spending several minutes being stuck on that. "Mara! Bring me my phone will you." She yelled out the name of one of the house servants who was outside of the room, to bring her cell phone that was just on the bed beside her. She loved feeling superior like that sometime, because why not?The maid hurried in to fetch her phone for her. After a while, she scoffed, angry at the fact that she had been dialing Dan's number for a while now. "This moron...it's because of you that Regina is talking to me in this manner. Because of you, Dan!" She groaned, tired of the way things has been going lately.The company was loosing money, loosing potential clients. Loosing in
Kimberly's POV I stepped outside to make the call. It took every thing in me to pretend like I was this sweet and caring friend... A smile worked its way over to my face as soon I dialed her number. I waited patiently till she would pick. She better picked up. I knew she must have been shocked seeing that I would call her.Finally, her annoying voice sounded from the other end of the line. "What do you want, Kimberly?"My teeth barred as anger filled me. But I managed to keep still, "Regina, we need to talk. Can I see you? Tonight? Please, it's urgent.""See me? Of course not. I'm very busy." The witch said. It took everything in me to still remain calm, damn you Regina!"Really? I was really looking forward to our meeting. I'm so sorry, please forgive me!" Finally, I blurted out. This was it. Hopefully she would be dense enough to believe me."Okay, where are you?" She said and a smile formed on my face."Our usual hangout. I'll be waiting for you there." Once the call was over, I
Dan's POV I was desperate now.Normally, I always had this special moment I shared with Regina whenever I had just found a new craving. It was a Japanese meal, and the last time I had it was what, when I was like fourteen? Now I was missing her. I decided to take a bold move and make it happen. And I wasn't going to take no for an answer."Are you done now? I want to make a reservation for tonight." I said to one of the attendant in the restaurant I had in mind. "What? Then just do as I've said. What do you mean am I sure this time?"I heaved in a deep sigh, frustrated one at that. It had happened two times now when I would try to speak to Regina, but she would just ignore me. This time, I was determined!"Yes. In the evening." I hoped I had made myself clear enough. The attendant muttered something before saying yes at last.I was standing in front of the building to her office now for about an hour. My car was parked outside so I'd been inside for a while first, before finally step
Regina's POV.I didn't want to think too much about what Rita had just said. That Kimberly was plotting something again?? When would that girl ever learn!"I understand how raged you are now," quickly, Rita started to say. "But you have to be really careful Regina. Kimberly is a psychopath!" I knew what she was saying was the fact. "I know I know. It's just that...what did I ever do to make her hate me like this?""Don't think too much about it, but be careful around her for real." Rita said. You could see the stress in her eyes as she looked worrier for me."Thanks Rita. I'm so glad we get to do this--" my conversation was cut short as the waiters in the restaurant jumped and rushed towards the entrance.One man that looked like their boss was shouting.."Welcome miss Jenna! Our biggest customer. Welcome her." And then the rest began to sing a welcoming song.Rita and I exchanged surprised looks, trying to really wonder whether it was the same Jenna we knew or another one. "But what
Regina's POV I didn't enjoy this TV series that much, but I was determined to be by myself without involving myself with Nicholas at all. I could do that. It was the weekend already and I was more than enough to..."Fuck!" I sighed, realizing how boring it was just being by myself on the weekend. I needed to go out, but where to?As if she read my mind, my phone rang and I saw it was Rita calling. Rita and I have been...talking. I mean, our relationship couldn't necessarily go back to the way things used to be before...but it was getting better. "Hey girl, I dunno if you're free this weekend. We should hang out sometimes." She said after we'd exchanged warm pleasantries and all."Oh that sounds nice. What about now?" I blurted out. "Now? Do you mean it?" Was her response. We confirmed the outing and met at a casual restaurant where we used to hang out before when we were all friends. Rita was already waiting for me so she called out my name as I walked in. "Over here," she waved
Third POV Kimberly was shocked to see Rita approaching. "Is that really her or am I dreaming?" She was forced to ask again to Mary who stood beside her as they watched from upstairs, "What the heck?""Fine. I may have accidentally spilled where you were but I didn't know that she would--"Slap!Mary cried out, holding her cheeks. "I'm sorry!" She cried out. Even Kimberly seemed a bit shocked and just couldn't help herself."I'm just so angry that I'm starting to finally trust you, and you keep dragging her along. You needed to be punished." She said at last.."But we're friends. This is the second time you've hit me this week, what is going on with you, dear friend?" It was more or anger than concern that rested in her eyes. "Whatever. Just let's get over with this now. She said, walking towards the entrance to see her guest. Deep down, she knew she owed Mary some sort of apology. But her pride certainly could not allow it. Her action had caught a side glimpse of Jamie observing her
Regina's POV The next few days, I wish I could say I didn't enjoy the series of sex that happened between Nicholas and I. They were so casual, in his bedroom, bathroom, in my living room,...even in his car one evening after work! They were fantastic! The other day when he had asked who was calling me when I was in his office, I had doubt for a split second as to tell him it was Dan or not. Then it occurred to me that he had clearly specified that it was none of his business who I was fucking with apart from him.My tone had kept him to quiet down and not ask me again, but we still had the best of time..I was still lost in thought, infactuating on the moments spent with Nicholas when there came a knock on the door. Excitement filled me hurriedly as I rushed to the door. Who else could it be if not Nicholas!"Hi, I'm coming in." Instead, I got Jenna standing outside, now already walking in like we were roommates or something. I had to look around just to make sure that Nicholas real
Regina's POV The next few minutes, I really was in paradise. We just stood still, staring into each others eyes. I loved this moment and I was selfish enough not wanting to let it end.However the universe had other plans for me. The sudden knock on the door reminded me that we were not alone. We stared into each other's eyes once more, this time briefly. There was no way someone on the other side of the door could be knocking to see me, clearly, they must be Nicholas guest."Is Mike back?" I asked, immediately the idea came to my head. But Nicholas shook his head, almost looking disappointed in my question as he advanced forward to the door. Opening up, Jenna strode in, but she did not just walk in. Her eyes observed, every little details that I wouldn't had noticed.It was a good thing that I had quickly adjusted my bra and put on my panties while Nicholas had gotten dressed back quickly too."I thought I didn't see you since. I never would have figured out that you were back in y
Nicholas POVShe nodded, her eyes filling with excitement. It was easy unbuttoning the rest of the buttons, and soon, she had been stripped into her bra alone. The sight of her cleavages made me hard instantly. I didn't bother to undo her bra strap and instead, revealed the pointed hard nipples by carefully unveiling her boobs from her bra. Starting with her left nipples, I gently played around the tips, licking around before putting it all in my mouth to suck. It felt so good I didn't want to stop. From her ragged breath, I knew she didn't want me to either. Her hands moved around my body, wanting to undress me instantly. While moving on to the next boobs, I put my other hand in motion parting her legs more widely to locate her pussy. She let her body relax more, waiting for my fingers inside her. Her moans increased, and so did her will to take of my shirt. Stealing glances of her, the look on her face completely made a soft groan escape my lips. She looked completely filled with
Nicholas's POV The footstep of someone approaching quickly pulled us apart. I was fascinated by what had just happened, the kiss was exactly what I'd been craving for. She looked a lot relieved as well, like this was something she had been struggling with too. This prompted me to go ahead and ask about my offer. Her eyes made contact with mine for a while before she pulled away. Did this mean she rejected the offer? "What about the customer? The annoying Italian man looked like he was powerful and influential." Instead she said, completely ignoring my question. She did this a lot, and I couldn't explain it's effect on me. Still, I managed a cool composure as I responded. "Mike will take care of it. I'll text him and he'll get on it. This isn't the first time I've had to deal with people like him." She nodded to herself, then a smile began to form on her face. Lord knows what she was thinking about. "What is it?" I was prompted to ask. Her smile brightened again. "If that's
The man was a sexy looking Italian man in dark suits and had his handsome features well defined. But as he spoke out, he vented all his a her on poor Dawn. "I'm so sorry sir! Please, this will be resolved as quickly as possible, I promise.""How! How in the hell are you going to resolve this, huh? Tell me." The man demanded.Keeping my composure warm and cool, I walked over to him. "Hello sir, I apologize for whatever discomfort you might be facing right now. But can you please come with me to my office to discuss things better?" I kept my voice calm and low, but powerful too.This man did the strangest thing. He looked me from head to toes, then scoffed out in what? Disgust?? "And who are you suppose to be speaking to me with an attitude like that!" He demanded."I am the finance manager, and that's why I --""--all you young ladies handling big positions. Do you even know who I am??"Now this man was starting to irritate me. So what if he was powerful and all. Did that give him en
