POV: HayleyI arrived in his office at the same time as Vinnie, but we never spoke a word to each other in the open, we just pretended not to know each other as we walked in different directions, going on the same mission. She has a flash drive, and so do I. There is a technician waiting for us in my house with a few guards watching closely so he doesn’t plant bugs in my house while I’m away.These days you can’t be too careful, you know, and you can’t trust people so easily either. I mean, Nathan trusts me and Laura trusts her best friend too. But here we are, plotting against them, trying to separate them and also destroy their companies. I can’t let anyone come so close to destroying everything my father has worked so hard to achieve. So I had to get extra security just to make sure my house was safe, even in my absence. The technician is ready with his computers and other devices he needs to work with. Once this flash is inserted into any computer, I mean either Laura’s or Natha
POV: Nathan I let her wait out there on purpose, I think it would get her furious enough to spill what is on her mind to me. I’ve been doing some follow-ups on my investigations since I found out she may be involved in the setup that almost cost me a million bucks. I found out she has been hanging out with Vinnie for a while now, and the two of them have been trying to keep their meetings secret for a while. I called the guys into my office and I filled them in on Hayley's recent plots. I need someone to keep a close eye on her while I deal with her father. I want to know how she managed to pull all this together how did she go from being the nice good girl I used to love, to this desperate, manipulative bitch 5hat is trying so hard to get on my last nerve.To think that Hayley actually sat in the waiting area in my secretary's office, waiting patiently for her turn to come into my office. That is not just ridiculous, it’s hilarious too. I’ve been with this babe on a more personal l
POV: Nathan“Well, then…Since we are both airing our differences, why don’t you start by telling me when you started being buddies with Vinnie, and why you both set me up with those girls.” I asked her, smiling to myself as the color drained from her face.“W… W… what are you talking about?” She asked, letting out a nervous laugh, trying to cover it up. I scoffed at her sorry attempt to defend herself, she is not agreeing not denying anything yet, but she wants to try and make me look stupid for asking her about Vinnie. “Are you saying you don’t know Vinnie, or you are you denying being friends with her?” I asked again, this time I erased the smile on my face, letting her see that I’m serious about this.“Why are you suddenly interested in my friends, Nate, what has come over you?” she asked me sternly, her eyes blazing in anger. All the while she has been standing next to my seat, refusing to sit on the visitors seat in front of my table. She even refused to drop her purse and phon
POV: Hayley“I have no idea where you are talking about, Nate. Vinnie and I hang out all the time at different places so I don’t know what you are talking about. I only made her my friend because I wanted to know why you chose Laura over me. I want to find out what is so special about your wife and I want to be like her. I thought you would love me if I acted like Laura and behaved exactly like her. That’s why I made friends with Laura’s best friend, and that is why I have been hanging out with her all the time. I want you back, Nate, I don’t know how long I can keep living this way. I know I said I was prepared to be your friend, and I’m willing to give it a try because I want to keep my word to you and respect your wishes. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop loving you anytime soon. I’ll keep trying to win back your heart, no matter what it takes me, and I’ll do everything I can to regain the love and trust we once shared. I know nothing about the setup you are accusing me of,
POV: Laura“Get him on the damn phone, or book me an appointment to see him as soon as possible!This is very important, Lisa, I don’t want to hear stories, and don’t you fucking screw with me!” I yelled at her, sounding so stressed and furious. I’m sitting at my desk, surrounded by stacks of paperwork. I’m not just stressed out by this stubborn client, there is a hint of frustration in my eyes. I’ve been screaming at her all day and it is not fair that I’m pouring all my frustration on her, but I simply don’t have a choice. It's been such a challenging day. The clients just seem to be resistant to working with me. They preferred Nathan handling things.I just don’t get what the problem is, I mean, I understand that he is a man and he has been the one handling things for some years now. But this is my company goddammit!I want to be able to handle this company just the way he did. But how do I get it right when they won’t even give me a damn chance!“Sorry, I yelled at you, Lisa. I’m
POV: Seeing her all over him made me so fucking pissed, like, what the hell is wrong with this bitch?It’s obvious that she is doing this on purpose just to piss me off. I caught her looking this way a couple of times, so I knew she was seeing me from her position. Nathan is backing me, so he has no idea what she is doing behind him. I tried to ignore her actions, I kept telling myself that Nathan would not betray me so soon, not after he just made me promise not to have any other man except him. If he still wanted to fool around with her, then why the hell would he promise to screw only me, why would he make me promise to be faithful to him, is he just messing with me?Gosh, I tried to focus on my meeting, I really tried. But how do you concentrate when you see a guy you love, a guy that claims he loves you flirting with his ex in his office, not minding if I’m seeing them or not. I saw her wrap her hands around his waist, caressing his back, and that fucking hurt my feeling even mo
POV: NathanGosh, I’m a damn fool!How could I let her trick me this way, how the hell did I fall to notice that Hayley was messing with me just to hurt Laura. It’s either she is trying to hurt me for breaking up with her, or maybe it’s because I kept her waiting for too long. Whatever her reasons were, the fact remained that she succeeded in cooling me and causing a rift between Laura and I. If I wasn’t convinced before that she was the one behind my initial setup, right now I am fully convinced that indeed she is capable of setting me up just to get back at me for hurting her.She tried to hide it, but I noticed the smug smile on her face when Laura walked in on us while she was still trying to convince me to screw her. To think that I wanted to give he a chance to defend herself because deep down in my heart, I wanted her to be innocent of these allegations, I didn’t want it to be true. But she not only proved to me that it is true, she also proved to me that she is capable of doin
POV: LauraI storm into my office, my face red with anger. I slammed the door shut when I got in, causing a picture frame to shake on the wall. I turned to look at the picture that was hanging low on the wall, and it happened to be a picture of Nathan that he hung on the wall when he used this office. With pain and anger in my heart, I walked towards the damn frame and pulled it down, and threw it to the door opposite me, shattering it into a thousand pieces. The noise must have reached outside this office because I hit it on the noisy door. Lisa came rushing into my office, looking concerned.“Oh my God!What happened, ma’am Laura? You look quite upset, is it Mr Stevens again, are you still bothered about the contract?” she asked me, stepping carefully around the broken frame so she doesn’t injure herself. I kept pacing back and forth, ignoring her.“Have you spoken to Mr Nathan about the issues we are facing, has he agreed to help us speak with him?” she inquired, trying to show he
