POV: Vinnie “What the hell is wrong with you, are you trying to get me in trouble or what?” He asked me angrily as he drove away from Laura. You won’t believe that it’s the same guy that was calm and cool a while ago. He was so loyal and loving in from of Laura, even when I tried to piss him off, he still tried to act cool, pretending that I was just pissed over a minor misunderstanding or something.He was supposed to hang out with me tonight, we have a lot to talk about and I was looking forward to being all alone with him. Then I got a call from Laura telling me we should all meet up and spend some time with Ken. I tried to say no, but then she wouldn’t take no for an answer, she just had to get whatever she wanted, even if it was a bit of an inconvenience to others. She kept insisting, telling me everyone was in already and it’s just me that is left out. It was so fucking annoying to be forced to hang out with her. She is just a spoilt brat who gets everything she wants on a plat
Still Vinnie’s POV“So what do you say, are you in or out?” I asked him. He’s been silent since I told him what I wanted from him. I guess he never thought I would be going after Nathan, instead of him. He just stood there, puffing his cigarettes, giving me a look that I could not find the meaning of. “Fine, if that’s now you want to play it, then so be it. But don’t say I didn’t warn you because I’m not going to let you win!” I told him sternly as I turned around furiously, picked up my bag, and walked out on him. It’s been more than twenty minutes and he still refused to say anything to me. He just left me standing by his side, waiting for his response that wasn’t forthcoming. Maybe he actually wants me to beg him to help me get Nathan. I think he is forgetting that he wants Laura as much as I want Nate, so helping me is almost like helping himself. I won’t beg him because he is not worth it, I’ll just keep running his plans to be with Laura until he finally gives in to what I want
POV: Laura“I’ll wait for you outside, don’t keep me waiting peaches,” Nate let out in that cool, sweet voice that seems to get to me these days. I have no idea what is wrong with me, I mean, I’ve been with this guy for three fucking years and I never felt this way for him. Now I can’t seem to be able to control myself around him. I can’t look at his face for five seconds without squirting and wetting my damn panties. As he walked outside to sit in the car and wait for me, I stood by the window, watching his steady movement as he strolled to his car, carrying himself like royalty, giving off sexy vibes.“When did you start falling in love with him?” Cameron asked from behind me startling me. “Don’t creep up on me like that, Cam. What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked her angrily as I held my chest, trying to calm myself. “If you weren’t so distracted by watching your EX-HUSBAND like a freaking weirdo, you would have heard me coming and you wouldn’t be so freaked out.” She retorte
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
