POV: LauraI read his message repeatedly, trying to understand why he sounded so desperate. I wanted to call him, but that would simply be a distraction on my first day at work. We talked about this last night and he agreed with me that I needed to focus more on work. So why the hell is he trying to distract me today instead of encouraging me to do well on my first day. I would have called him back to hear what he had to say, but I decided to focus on my first day at work and get to meet everyone.“I’ll see you at lunch, Ken, I can’t see you now because I’m already at the company. If you want, you can come over to the company. I’m sure I can use your help since I’m new to all of this.” I texted him back, smiling as I thought of the possibility of having him here as I got acquainted with my new job.“That’s perfect, Laura. I’ll meet you at the office in a few minutes.” He replied to my text, making me smile brightly as I stepped out of my car and headed to the huge front door that led
POV: Laura“Get in here!” Xander ordered someone with the phone on his table, no, I mean my table. He looked different in the office as he ordered everyone sternly, making his appearance firm and focused. “This is my office now, you should let me make the calls.” I told him firmly, going around to sit on my seat behind the table. “Easy, tiger!I’m just trying to get you settled in nicely. I know you are eager and prepared for what lies ahead, but I need you prepped for the board meeting. The board of directors won't go easy on you, especially your father.” He let out firmly. I gulped down dryly at the mention of my father. He has never given me the chance to work here and I’m wondering if he would accept my decision to be here or fight against it. One word from him would have me fired before I even started. I have to be ready before the meeting, I really need to let him help me. I don’t know who he just called, but I’m hoping I’ll get the assistance that I really need. There was a
POV: LauraI checked my phone to see if there was any message from Ken, but I couldn’t find any, which means that he hasn’t left a message since we last texted each other this morning. The staff meeting ended around 12:30 PM, and then it was time for our Lunch Break. Yeah, we spent so much time in the conference room, don’t only natural that after the staff meeting, it should be time for a rejuvenating lunch break. I’d wanted to have lunch with the rest of the staff in the cafeteria or maybe order something to be brought up here to me in my office. But I got a beep on my phone and Ken offered to take me out for lunch. I know I need to begin with the files on my table, but I just have to accept his offer because this is a perfect chance to step away from work, relax, and recharge. We could enjoy lunch at a nearby restaurant, I could share my excitement with him, or simply take a breather to refuel. He said he was already waiting for me at the parking lot, but I couldn’t risk going out
POV: NathanShe was so fucking amazing when she spoke with the board of directors. Those guys are pretty stubborn and tough, and I’m surprised she stood confidently before them and gave a beautiful speech. She convinced everyone that she was worth a shot, impressing everyone with her speech, leaving us all stunned and totally impressed. I couldn’t help smiling at her self confidence, it was quite a surprise and I would have loved to celebrate that little victory with her, but she pushed me away, again. She is so damn stubborn when she wants to be tough. I just had to leave her to get settled in, I’m sure she will come around soon. I mean, she won’t keep pushing me away when she knows she is going to need my help with the company sooner or later, would she?I had a long talk with her dad as soon as I got to the office. He’s worried that I’m putting so much trust and responsibility on her. I had to convince him that she is going to do a great job because she has the passion for the job
POV: NathanI’ve been in this position a thousand times. Even after I got married to Laura, Hayley still tried to get down with me, so I know for a fact that this girl is up to no good. But I played along just to see what she had up her sleeves. I mean, it’s very possible that she was sent here by Laura just to piss me off, or maybe Laura has some tricks up her sleeves as well. Yeah, she is smarter than she looks and she has a way of making things so difficult for me.It could be that she wants me to cause a scandal that would spread around the city like wildfire. For all I know, she could be trying to set me up with her friend so that when the news about my illicit affair with her friend breaks out, the board of directors and her father will have no choice but to let her run to the company so they won’t get affected by my scandal. It’s a very dangerous game is playing with me, but I have to admit that she is indeed smart to think of this strategy to keep her job.She even went out fo
POV: Nathan I got home early because I was too posted to focus on work anymore. If Laura was seeing other men even when we were together, then I need to find out who they were and it an end to it. Who knows if she was planning to divorce me before now. I guess she was already tired of our marriage before now, and If I’d taken a while longer to serve her those papers, maybe she would have asked for divorce herself, or even leave without asking for a damn divorce. As I sat in the dining having my dinner, I kept thinking of a way to convince her to stay without hurting her feelings or making her feel caged or controlled. If I’d known this much about her before, I would never have asked for a divorce. Now I want her back, and I can’t even open up to her without sounding stupid and pathetic. I’ll just have to convince her to stay by making her fall in love with me.I’m waiting for her to come home so I can confront her about her affairs with that Ken guy. It’s getting to be a bit difficu
POV: LauraHe’s pissed!I can feel it in my heart. His ambiance is so sinister, making me shiver in fear whenever our eyes meet. He is ignoring me on purpose, giving me the silent treatment. I don’t know why he doesn’t want me to explain why I decided to hang out with my friends after such a stressful day at work. I was so fucking stressed out at work today. As a matter of fact, I’d wanted to drive home immediately, and have a hot shower to ease off my stress before heading straight to bed. But then I got a call from Kendrick and he expressed his displeasure with my behavior today. Apparently, he had noticed that I was in a hurry to leave him at the restaurant and head back to work. He wasn’t too happy to be ignored that way, and so was Vinnie. Vinnie claimed to have visited my office to see me but I was not available for she couldn’t spend time with me because she was already heading out when I showed up so she couldn’t tell me why she came to look for me in my office.It seems I ne
POV: LauraI fell asleep at some point, feeling exhausted. I would have loved to wait for him to come back, but I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I’m so exhausted by everything that happened tonight. I know I act as if I don’t care, but I really got on his nerves this time. I don’t even know why I was so horny, I can’t believe I was begging to be cuddled by him. I have to be careful not to break his heart a second time. I just hope he wasn’t being serious when he said he was going to cancel our divorce and reclaim my father's company. That would be the end of me, I would be stuck with him forever, and this time, I wouldn’t be able to sneak around because he would keep a close eye on me because now he knows more things about me than he did before.I fell asleep thinking about him and wondering how long it was going to take him to find out that I was beginning to fall in love with him. Yeah, that was my thought before I fell asleep, and I ended up smiling like a fucking idiot as I dreamed o
