THIRD POVKimberly remained where she was for the course of the next few minutes, trying to understand what really happened before going home to face her parents. Was what happened just now a part of some play or was it a prank to see her reaction? Whatever it was, it was getting out of hand and she did not like it. But it was real, she stood there, watching Regina walk in to the manager's office with the young receptionist or personal assistant by her side. Whatever position he held was for himself to know and not her, she cared less about someone who gave no regard to her name of her family's name. She could not help but to overhear their conversation as they walked away. "The manager was in quite a hassle, he wanted a perfect face for our new product but everyone that reached out were just not good enough! Thankfully, he sat down and thought again about other people he knew and then he remembered the beautiful lady he had seen."Regina gave a soft laugh in response at first bef
REGINA'S POVWalking out of the office after the deal was signed, I felt so honoured to have been granted such offer by merit. Thankfully, Kimberly was no longer outside the office or even anywhere near the office. I had had quite a day and I was yet to have dinner! Arriving home, I went straight into my bedroom and washed off the stress of the day with a warm bath and then went into the kitchen to make myself something to eat. Nicholas was no where to be seen, probably behind the closed doors of his bedroom. I had no reason to see him so I went back into my room.I took out my laptop to get back to work, "okay, I have to find out who Dawn is working for and I need to do it tonight!" I said to myself like a strict boss giving his employee a deadline. With a nod of affirmation, I hot down to work. ***Hours went by, it did not occur to me how fast the time had traveled, but thankfully it was all not for nothing's sake!I stared at the screen of my laptop with squinting eyes, wonde
REGINA'S POVShe gave a wry laugh, obviously pretending like she did not understand what I was trying to make her confess. "Sabotage your name?" She questioned with an arched brow. "I don't understand, why would I do something like that? Does it even make any sense to you that I would try to harm you in the slightest way?"I let out a sigh and rubbed my now aching forehead. Crossing my arms beneath my breast, I said; "we have every single needed evidence against you, Dawn, you should not try to drag this out any longer than it should go. Just confess to us.""But I don't--""Let us take it to the cops then since she is not willing to confess." Nicholas said in a strict tone. The look on his face was of someone that was serious.Dawn watched him take out his phone from his pocket and so did I. I wanted to talk, to say something, anything to stop him from involving the cops because he really looked like he was going to make the call. But before I could say anything, Dawn fell to her kn
REGINA'S POVI stood there, confused and dumb struck. What exactly was going on? But then Nicholas' entry caused all eyes to fix on us now. He had a stern look on his face, eyes scanning the mess on my clothes and then fixing on Mary. "Do you want to tell me what exactly happened here?" His voice was the same, gentle and seductive, bit the hint of anger to it could make anyone nervous. Mary held on to the glass in her hand tightly, I was afraid it might shatter from the pressure and prick her skin. She breathed uncomfortably and tried to keep a calm smile on her face. "Jt-- it was an accident, I didn't-- I mean I had tripped and I didn't notice that-- that she--" she kept stuttering at every attempt to give an explanation. "A mistake..." He buried his hands in the depth of his pocket and played around with the word a bit. "A mistake.... Can you tell me how reaching for a glass and deliberately spilling it on someone is considered to be a mistake?" His thick brow arched. I wanted
REGINA'S POVI swallowed, trying to force air through my lungs again. "Hans is back...? Uhm, okay, thank you, thank you Tania for uh... For telling me." I tried not to let the awkwardness show in my voice but I was pretty sure I failed. She gave a smile in response. "Thank you for being such a good friend." I nodded. "Yup, that's me." A nervous chuckle escaped my mouth. "I uh, I have to go home now so I can change out of this dress. Champaign isn't really my favorite cologne."She chuckled. "Alright. I'll see you around." We said our goodbyes and I went back home. Taking off the dress, I stuffed it aside and sat inside my bathtub. Hans was back in town and he was asking of me...Why would that bastard even have the nerves to ask of me?! How dare he still remember my name after what he tried to do to me?I felt a shiver run down my spine and it was not from the coolness of the water. The sound of the door in the living room as it opened caught my ear through the silence of the hous
Regina's Pov Waking to the sound of my alarm clock, I gave a tired turn, reaching out to switch it off. I sat up in bed with a yawn, it felt like I had only laid on my bed a second ago and now it was already dawn. Pushing my legs down from the bed, I rose to my feet and laid my bed properly before going into the bathroom. Packing my hair behind myself, I applied some treatment onto my face and took to my daily routine of brushing my teeth and going under the shower to bathe. Wrapped in a warm towel, I walked towards my wardrobe but then my phone started ringing. Turning towards the bed where it was laying, I walked over there and picked it up. A confused look made its way to my face. The name written on the screen was Nick. Why was he calling me when we were literally sharing the same roof now? With an arched brow, I picked up the call. "Hello?" "We need to have a meeting this morning, I need you to come over to my bedroom right away." He said in a tight tone. I could n
REGINA'S POVHe spoke of Mr and Mrs Anderson with such casualty like they were not one of the most prominent figures in the entire city. Something that had me all choked up was something he regarded as an ordinary event he was used to. Though he never said it with his mouth that the event was not a big deal but the expression on his face was that of someone that was not feeling pressured. "We are attending this event together," he said to me. "I took the responsibility of ordering a nice new dress for you to wear along with the needed jewelries and shoe. Not that your closet is bad, I just want you to put some something a little extra than your normal wears. "Not extravagant, do not get me wrong. But it is something that Mrs Julia Anderson will find pleasing to the eyes for sure. Mr Jeremy not being an exclusion as well." I gave a nod of my head, trying to pretend that I was half as relaxed as he was. "Okay, is there anything else I am supposed to prepare for? Is there something I
NICHOLAS' POVI watched her rise to her feet and walk out of my room. Picking up my phone to serve as a distraction so I would not gaze at her as she walked out, I tapped the screen and stared at my wallpaper.As the door slammed shut behind her, I let out a sigh and stared at the door. She must be feeling so perplexed about the Keepers and the upcoming party, if only there was something I could do or offer to calm her down. But that should not be a concern for me, she could handle herself quite well when put to the test so she would have problem fitting in at such fine setting. There were some unfinished tasks from last night so I decided to distract myself with that. I refused to let my thoughts be distracted by such a stubborn woman. Picking up my laptop, I went into the living room just to stretch my legs. It was better than staying cramped up in my bedroom all day. Several minutes later, there were still a few things to be done but I had covered up quite a lot as well. I mig
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
