Waking up to the annoying sound of my alarm, I turned it off. Can't believe it is Monday already, it's my first day. I will be working as the personal assistant to the CEO of Rutherford oil and gas petroleum limited. I am excited and upset at the same time. I am excited because I have a job and upset because I have to wake up so early now. Working with my dad has made me lazy.
I can always work for my dad again but that will mean limiting myself to the same people I have always known all my life. I want to explore, and meet new people. Hoping this will help me find meaning to my life. I know it won't be easy, always being a daddy's girl, getting everything I want in a platter of gold.
Getting off my queen size bed I went to freshen up, and wash my hair with my all natural shampoo and conditioner I got from the store last week Tuesday after my interview. So excited I was selected, the company is worth multi-billion dollars. And I heard the owner has other businesses, and also comes from money.
While surging the net I found out he is young something like 26, and very handsome too but, he is a Playboy. I searched the net more for his name and picture but found nothing. Only his accomplishment was online along with his many female conquests.
Anyway that has nothing to do with me, all I have to do is work for him and get it done well. Focusing on getting dressed, I put on a black bra with matching black lace undies. After that, I put on an onion pink designer suit pants that reached my ankle along with a matching suit jacket.
I applied my natural curl leave-in conditioner on my hair to maintain my natural curly hair, then styled it up while letting some fall towards the side of my face. I have healthy and beautiful skin, so I mostly go without makeup.
Looking at my face in the mirror, I apply the only makeup I know how. Eye mascara with a tomato red lipstick. I wore my little gold silver diamond earring my dad got for me from Paris on our family vacation. With a matching silver necklace that extended down towards my cleavage. Giving it a daring look.
I wore a Cinderella nude shoe, with a small nude Chanel bag. Inside it contains my iPhone 13, drivers license, pen and a debit card. For my finishing touch, I wear my favorite forever perfume. I look at my reflection one last time, satisfied with what I see. Hearing a knock on the door I called out
"Come in" one of the maid came in, her name is Miranda. She is more than a maid to me, I consider her a friend.
"Excuse me ma'am your dad is expecting you in the dining room because..." she stopped.
I turned to look at her, wondering why she stopped talking. I meet her looking at me with wide eyes and mouth open.
"Is everything okay Miranda?"
"Yes. wow you look so beautiful"
"Aww, thank you so much. So, what were you about to say?" I asked sweetly
"Oh so sorry, pardon my manners. Your dad is expecting you, he wants you to join him for breakfast."
"Okay, will be right there"
"Have a lovely day at work in advance"
"Thank you" Giving her a sweet smile as she left, closing the door behind her.
Okay Catherine, today is the day I have been waiting for. After saying a brief prayer I left my room, and head straight to the dining room.
Getting to the dinning hall, my family were already seated having breakfast. "Welcome sweety, you look stunning" "Thank you Dad, Good morning" I smile at him, giving my mom and dad a tender kiss on their cheek before taking my seat. "Morning. My baby is now a grown woman." "Aww, tank you Mom. I love you" "Love you too. Hope you slept well?" My mom asked, concern evident on her beautiful face. She always worries too much, even when there is no cause for alarm. I don't know why she does that. "Yes I did, you don't have to look so worried mom" "Can we eat now I am starving" Everyone laughed at Patricia's impatience. S
**CATHERINE** Unfortunately for me I couldn't come up with anything as a result of the continuous knock on the glass window that never seems to end. With the side of my left eye I could see that the intruder is a man wearing something that looks like a gray suit. He must be one of those good for nothing looking for naive women to mess around with. Sorry to burst your bubble sweetheart, this fine wine has no time for cheap men like you. Out of frustration I wined my glass down, enough for the intruder to hear me clearly "Hello, excuse me? I am not interested in you so please take your sweet talk somewhere else" Feeling happy that I finally got the alone time I need to think because time seems not to be on my side, something I have noticed lately. Hmm, why? I wondered, as I raised my shoulders in defeat, giving up on the tho
**ADAM** She was talking to me, saying something I didn't understand. Excuse me,.. interested..., Somewhere else. So confused, I raised my brow questioningly trying to put meaning into her words but failed. So I asked "Urhm, what?" Her curly hair is the most beautiful I have seen. I kept staring at it as I wondered what it would feel like if I touched it, and what the color of her eyes would be as realization dawned on me that I am yet to see her face, just her side view. "Well mister..." she broke off, mouth wide open, she began to stutter. Must be because I was staring at her and she found it rude, but I don't care I continued staring. She is so beautiful, looks like an Egyptian goddess. The urge to kiss her became so strong, as my eyes fell on her tempting lips.
CHAPTER SEVEN **CATHERINE** Stepping out of the elevator I stopped on my track, looking at the beautiful scene before me. This floor is decorated with the finest qualities, from the colours of the wall, and the furniture setting is so beautiful. Everything in here cost a fortune, my father's life savings. The setting is a combination of furniture that befits royalties, white walls, art designs and a very huge sparkling golden chandelier located at the center of the floor in-between my desk. I kept looking in amazement. As I continued staring, my attention shifted to the desk that seemed to be mine. I feel some kind of peace as I lo
The day went by smoothly, the only difficulty was the aspect of getting Adam breakfast. I forgot to ask him what he would like for breakfast, especially after all the drama we had to face this morning, so I just used my initiative and got him a sandwich. You can never go wrong with a sandwich. But, that isn't the part that stressed me out. It was the part of locating the cafeteria. At first, I tried finding it myself thinking it was an easy thing, but no that is not what happened. The structure of this build is not only beautiful but complex, the architect who drew the plan needs to be given accolades. Like damn, this person is too good. After walking aimlessly for about ten minutes without finding the cafeteria, a male staff member was kind enough to help me. He showed me a map of the company that has the direction o
"To what do I owe this visit Adam?" Raymond asked in his usual sarcastic tone as we entered my study room. Raising my eyebrow I looked at him, he always has a way of getting on my nerves. "You know you don't have to be so sarcastic all the time," I said, sitting on a chair crossing my legs. Laughing, he took his seat too. "Come on Adam, I am sure you didn't call me here just to tell me that" he said. "Yes you are right. I need you to do research on someone, she is.." " Your mother, not again Adam. So tell me what did you do to make your sweet mother run away?" he exclaimed. "Will
I covered my ears with my pillow, always hating the sound of the alarm. Can't believe it is 5am already, so soon! It wasn't long before I went to bed. Turning off the alarm I coiled back to bed, sleeping for a few more minutes before getting off the bed. With sleepy eyes I staggered, finding my way to my bathroom still feeling sleepy. Why did I come up with this stupid plan, I wonder. Remembering the good old days when I worked for Dad, I smiled. Working for him was pure bliss, I resume by 10am and close by 2pm. Didn't have to put up with this stress. Closing my eyes, I let the water rush down my body, letting out a sigh of relief.I love this newly installed artificial intelligence that has been installed, I don't have to put on the shower before the water starts rushing.
ADAM POVSitting on the dining chair, I stare at the large amount of food spread before me. And to make it worse, James is also staring at the food in amazement. Whereas, he was the one that served it.Shaking my head, I wonder what his motive is this morning, maybe he is trying to overfeed me or kill me. And he knows I am not the breakfast type yet he served all these!I looked at him again trying to be angry at him but when I saw his face how innocently he stares at the food and me at the same time, I couldn't help but laugh. What a strange man.But that doesn't change what he did, so I ask "Tell me, why did you do this or are you simply testing my patience this morning?"I consider him to be a father but that doesn't mean I can't fire him if he provokes me too much, he shouldn't be doing things like this. I want to yell at him but the right words aren't coming out. For now, I can only look at him with anger."No, of course not. I noticed you've not been eating w
The flight home was peaceful. Most especially because I didn't see Kim anywhere. Our last encounter wasn't one I would want to repeat again. She irritated me so much I felt like doing something crazy to her like maybe pull her hair but that was way below my league. "I am more classy for such low behavior like that." I said to myself as I smiled."Cherry, why are you smiling?" Adam asked as he pulled close to him."Nothing" I muttered before clearing my throat."Really?" He didn't believe me, I could see it in his eyes but I care less because there is no way in the world I will tell him what my thoughts were then he will see me as the jealous type.'Oh no,' I shuddered because I'm not, although my subconscious didn't agree with me. I shake it off."Cherry?" He called again, drawing me out of my thought"Ohm, oh how I miss my mom and dad. I hope dad is much better now." I said, changing the topic immediately."Oh, come here." He pulled me clos
CATHERINE POV Before I knew what was happening the week was almost over and the day of our return arrived. It was one of the best weeks of my life that I have experienced in a short while. Adam made my stay here very special with his constant care and attention that I almost forgot the presence of Kendal.Although I can see that Kendal's behavior has changed towards me to a more positive one, I can't still shake the feeling that she was up to something. But after days went by and nothing suspicious happened, my guard sort of loosened as I relaxed more in her presence.Getting to know her, I came to realize she isn't really a bad person as I assumed the first time. Yes, we both started on the wrong foot but that's because Adam and I had some little misunderstanding. But now that it's settled, I feel more happy. Once I return, the first thing I would do is call my best friend and tell her all about my experience here and that we were both wrong in our assumption of A
Due to the hectic traffic on the road, Michael purposefully spent too long in the shower, letting the cold water slide down his skin and calming his nerves which happened to work except for the very bulging friend refusing to go down regardless of how long he spent under the cold shower. As he stared down, he saw his manhood protruding with every minute that past seeking to sink into the sweet hole of Michelle's tempting center. Feeling a little bit better, he turned the shower off before stepping out and wrapping a white towel around his waist. From where he stood, Michael could smell the sweet aroma coming from his room and he knew immediately Michelle had arrived and served his dinner. Feeling famished, he hurriedly damp his body dry before entering his room only to see a naked Michelle perfectly curled, lying peacefully on his bed. His already hard member probed further, vibrating as he kept staring down at her. Feeling Michael's gaz
The drive to his pent house was annoyingly long and stressful at the same time due to the hectic traffic on the road. Because he left office late although not intentionally, Michael thought the traffic would have lessened by now but he was very wrong as it was still very much serious. After spending close to two hours for a drive meant to be fifteen minutes or less on a normal day free of traffic Michael let out a deep sigh of relief when Andrew, his driver, pulled up directly in front of his big black gate before honking. "Finally," Michael muttered, making Andrew smile, feeling sorry for his boss for having to go through the stress. "I'm sorry boss,” he apologized. “For what?” “For having to go through the stress and getting stuck in traffic.” Gaining his attention, Michael stared at him through the front mirror as he cocked
Catherine has never slept so peacefully like she did last night without any worry at all. Apart from the one time she woke up in the middle of the night she didn't wake again until this morning. And the reason for her waking up that one time was to tell Adam he can share the bed with her because it wasn't a bother to her. If it weren't for his stubbornness, Adam would have slept on the bed right from the beginning. But he kept insisting he wouldn't in order not to upset her although she told him she was okay with it. Adam still refused and then she gave in to his request as long as it made him happy. But when she saw him turning and tossing on the couch uncomfortably, Catherine was unable to fall asleep too knowing Adam was having a hard time falling asleep. Sighing, Catherine went to drag him from the couch and forced him to share the bed with her. Smiling, she stared at his cute face as he slept peacefully just like a c
Getting on her feet, Kendal helped herself up before throwing the cookies in her hand in anger. She stared at the closed door and her blood boiled within her as Kendal thought of the things they could possibly be doing at the moment, she wanted to go crazy. Looking at the empty cup of smoothie Adam and Catherine just finished consuming she swiped everything down to the floor, shattering it. She screamed as she went to the kitchen to break some more things but stopped the moment she heard Naomi's voice. "What do you think you're doing?" Freezing in place, Kendal turned slowly to face Naomi who was standing fuming in anger as she saw the mess Kendal had made. "What's all this? Can you tell me why broken glass and plates are scattered all over my house?" Walking out of the kitchen, Kendal tried to make her way back to her room but got stopped by Naomi as she grabbed her arm and put her back in place. "Listen to me yo
"Now everything is ready and set to be eaten." Adam announced just moments after he brought out the freshly baked cookies from the oven. "Yippee," she jumped in excitement. Her mouth was already watering and she couldn't wait to have a taste of it. "It smells so good" she breathes in more of the delicious smell of a new freshly baked cookie has. "I bet it tastes as it smells." She licked her lips in anticipation, salivating in it as her eyes were about to pop out. "Even better, just be patient my love." My love? Catherine looked at him in awe. For some strange reason, referring to her as 'my love' sounds strange to her ears. Not taking note of how his words affected her, Adam focused his gaze intently on the cookies as he brought it out from the oven wearing a thick hand glove. "How is the smoothie turning out?" He asked when he noticed how silent she had become. "Great!" She snapped back to reality before turning to ch
As they left her room, Catherine increased her speed so she could walk faster and get in her room before Adam stopped her. But that didn't happen not when Adam's legs were so long. "Sighing," she gave up when Adam caught up with her before she could even open the door. "What do you want?" She snapped. "Please leave me alone." "Catherine please listen to me, I have no idea how she became pregnant-" "Really?" She turned to him just so she could get a clearer picture of his face when he answered her question. "You want to tell me honestly you have no idea how she became pregnant? You never had relations with her?" "Sighing," Adam couldn't lie but be honest. "Yes I had relations but that was before." "Before what?" "Before I realized how much you mean to me." "Really?" Catherine was finding that hard to believe, she knows she isn't supposed to be like this but she can't help it. Her heart
"Grandma, it is Catherine." "Yes, what is wrong with her?" Eunice was starting to worry with the way Adam wasn't saying anything. "Tell me please what is going on?" "I.." He stutters, not sure where to start from. Just then, Eunice noticed the presence of a third person. "And who is she?" Eunice knows her face looked familiar but can't remember where she saw her. "H.. her name is Kendal and the reason behind all this mess." "What do you mean boy? Who is Kendal?" Walking close to her, Kendal stretched her hand towards Adam's grandma and introduced herself since he was hesitating. "The mother of Adam's unborn child." "What?" Eunice gasped in shock, almost choking as she coughed seriously. "Grandma are you okay?" Adam r
