I don't know how I am going to go to the hospital when Theirry is still in the car.“Is there anything we can do about Thierry?" Chelsea asked as if reading my mind.“I will just tell him I need to go somewhere with you and we will be back in a few minutes," I said and Chelsea agreed to go with my plan.When we got outside, I walked straight to Chelsea's car. Knocking on the door, Thierry rolled down the glass window and bowed his head before raising it.“I need to go somewhere with Chelsea and we will be back in thirty minutes," I said, but Thierry tensed up in the seat. “I mean it. 30 minutes," I added.“Alright, ma'am," he replied.“I will take my car," Chelsea said and I followed her.After leaving Chelsea Boutique with her car, we drove straight to the hospital. Ezekiel, Chelsea's brother, already told me to do some tests, which I did.I and Chelsea sat on the chair in his office when he came in a few minutes later.“Hope I didn't delay you much?" Ezekiel asked and I and Chelsea
When I walked closer to the entrance, I wasn't expecting Liam to have company but the moment I pulled the door open, Liam was actually on call with someone.Silly me! I thought he was with Aysel or maybe Aysel already found her way home. I shut the door and walked past Liam who stood beside the window.“Where are you going, Emily?" Liam asked as he dropped the phone to his side. He was already done with the call. Liam walked towards me and stood beside the couch in the living room.“Where does it seem like I am going? To my room, of course," I retorted in a cold tone and gripped the bag in my tight.“I told you about the event we need to attend. You should get ready," Liam said, and I blinked my eyes at him with my eyebrows raised.”Oh, sure," I murmured before looking at him. “But you tricked me into believing that Thierry will get sacked," I said more as a statement than a question.Liam smiled as he glided his hand through the material of the couch in slow motion. ”I didn't actua
Chelsea texted me that she was already on her way while Liam only concentrated on driving. I checked the site where my book was; I was surprised to see I already have a lot of readers.A smile spread across my lips as I read their comments. It was just a form of distraction to me because I didn't know how Aysel convinced Liam.The car stopped at the parking lot, and I got down with Liam. As usual, it was already bustling with a lot of people.”Try not to let them get suspicious, Mr. Nolan," I said with gritted teeth, and I saw Liam almost chuckling.Maybe it ear just my eyes fooling me after all. Liam held out his arms and I tugged on his clothes. Liam smiled at me and I did the same, returning the smile.We both walked closer to the entrance and then there were low murmurs occurring among the guests who came to congratulate Laura.“Isn't she beautiful?"I heard someone said as I walked inside the hall alongside Liam.“That is Mr. Liam's wife." A feminine voice spoke as we entered the
“You didn't tell me I need one," Chelsea responded and tucked some strands of her hair behind her ear. “And just so you know, my boyfriend will be coming back tomorrow. So you can imagine the feeling" Chelsea added and looked at my face.I chuckled slightly and rolled my eyes at her. ”I guess I will be seeing him again," I replied calmly.”In your dreams Emily. I'm going to tie him up tomorrow. He is not going anywhere and..." Chelsea stopped and looked around as if she was inspecting if someone was eavesdropping on our conversation.“I miss Sex, Emily," Chelsea whispered, and my cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.“Fuck Emily. You are so red. Stop acting like an innocent girl," Chelsea reprimanded, and I wish I could stop too, but Chelsea is just too blunt with her replies.“I will not listen to any of your conversations anymore," I said and averted my gaze to the stage.Aysel looked exactly like Laura's daughter as she stood on the stage. She has always been confident and wouldn'
“Hi, Vincent. It's nice to see you here," I said with a smile spread across my lips. Vincent walked closer to me and pulled me in for a friendly hug. Without looking over his shoulder, I knew Liam must be looking at my way now.Vincent looked at Diana and Chelsea and I was glad he didn't know either of them. For a while, I thought Diana was Vincent's girlfriend. At least, no one is going to sabotage my plan now.“This is Chelsea and Diana," I said, looking at Vincent. He bowed his head slightly and Chelsea did the same. “This is Vincent, a friend of mine," I said, introducing Vincent to Diana and Chelsea.Diana was the one who quickly walked up to Vincent. “Hi, handsome. It's nice to see you here," Diana said in a calm tone, which made Chelsea roll her eyes.Of course, Diana wouldn't hesitate to go after any man who seems to be financially okay and handsome. This is why Diana never dated a guy for two months.Vincent smiled at her and turned to face me. “I didn't know it was Laura's
Liam walked towards me like a predator for a while. It felt as if I was in the lion's den, and I doubted if I would be able to escape this feral beast.There was no one in the restroom. Perhaps the women already knew something like this would be happening.Maybe this is the spot where couples will quickly do a quickie to ease tension because I can't fucking explain how Liam got here.“You have gone crazy, Emily," Liam said with a playful grin, and I staggered backwards while he continued walking towards me.Why must it be a restroom every time? Why can't he just corner me outside? But Liam loves his privacy.“You only asked me a question and I only replied." I reprimanded and my back hit the wall at the same time.Fuck!Now there is no fucking escape. Liam stood in front of me, and I glared at him coldly, but I was fucking wrong.What did I say about not looking at Liam? What did I say about Liam Nolan being an attractive man? Liam pressed his face towards me and I stopped breathing
LIAM'S POVThe ride home wasn't fun, but I was actually planning to tease Emily inside the car. To my astonishment, Emily slept inside the car like a baby with no care about the world.I didn't wake her up despite feeling the urge, too, because of her beautiful face up close.“I think I might have let you get too close to me, Emily," I muttered, knowing fully well that she couldn't see me.I pulled out my phone and dialled a number on my call log.“Hello Liam, it's a pleasure to hear your voice." The voice boomed through the speaker of my phone.However, I didn't have time to beat around the bush. “I need you to find every fucking piece of information about Slyveter and get back to me," I said and there was silence from the other end.“Don't fucking tell me you have no information, Rylan. You know I am still pissed because of what happened at the club.”“C'mon Liam. You know I took care of the guys. And believe me when I said I gave them just what they deserved. No one will find out,"
LIAM'S POVWhen I walked back to my room. I took off my suit and took a quick shower. Thinking about what happened today, a bitter smile graced my lips as I hit the glass wall with my fist.Emotions lately have been disturbed and it seems in one way or another, Emily is getting into my skin. As if my subconscious wouldn't agree with me, I was already hard again. At this rate, I knew masturbating wouldn't work. I left the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body. I put a call through to Rylan, and he picked it up on the second ring.“Buddy, I am on it. It's not even up to 20 minutes yet," Rylan said, his voice etched with anger, but he managed to hide it.“I need a girl. I will be coming to the club," I said, raking my hand through my hair.“Then come," Rylan said and quickly dropped the call.I pulled out a black shirt and wore it. I wore long pants and made my way to the mirror. Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I brushed my hair and put on the wristwatch around my wrist.
Vincent came in early the next morning before Xander could leave for school. My eyes didn't miss the way they both played with each other before Xander bid Vincent good-bye to go to school. Vincent and I talk as if he didn't just confess to me yesterday but my stupid body reacted to his little touch as if I am a young teenager when I am not.“I will drive you to your place of work" Vincent said when he saw me checking the drawer for my car keys.“You don't have to bother yourself Vincent. I should thank you for staying with Xander this morning" I said and composed my expression, looking at him.“Allow me to stress myself Emily." Vincent said as he walked towards me It took me a great effort not to take a step back away from him.I swallowed hard when he got to my side and tucked some strands of hair behind my ear.“And I told you I won't hold back." Vincent said, his voice barely above a whisper as I held on to the side of my dress.“I won't stop myself from caring for you Emily. W
“I don't think I can do this, Vee," I said, only for Vincent to shut me up with a raise of his hand. He smiled at me and I could see he wasn't faking it in any way.For the First time, it felt as if this was the first time I would ever see Vincent smile this way. “I thought you would have noticed Emily. I thought I was giving you the signs for you to know that I am actually in love with you," Vincent said, and I shook my head slowly, my palms becoming sweaty.“It wasn't my fault. I mean we are friends. Best friends till we meet again in Los Angeles" I confessed without much difficulty.I didn't stutter or embarrassed myself. I aimed to clear the misunderstanding. I know I somehow use Vincent in order not to appear weak in front of Liam and Aysel.However, Vincent took another step towards me. If 30 centimeters apart before, then I have to say Vincent is breathing the same air as me because there is no space between us anymore.Anytime from now, Xavier's bus will arrive, and I will ha
I couldn't hold my anger in as I get up angrily. I wouldn't let Liam and Aysel disgrace me. However, Aysel turned to face me as if she knew what I had in plan. Maybe she thought I am going to tell Vincent to stood up from the seat then i will hug him but I didn't.“I have nothing more to do here and if you are that curious to know if he is someone I love, then I will give you the invitation card to our wedding" I said and Vincent stood up alongside me with a bow to the two nuisance in front of me.I walked out of the restaurant with Vincent, feeling a sense of relief that the uneasiness I felt is finally over. We walked towards the parking lot and I hop in. Vincent drived us to my apartment but my nerves didn't calm a bit as I get down from the car.There is this funny question heating me up and I wanted to ask him if my guess was true. I don't want to put Vincent in a tight position. Turning to face him as he closed the distance between us, I asked, "Hey, Vincent, can I ask you so
For a second, I thought Aysel was joking but it was all true when I saw the seriousness on her face.”Is there anything on my face Emily?" Aysel asked with a blank expression. “You coming right? I will text you the location" Aysel said as she walked back to meet Liam. The two said something which my ear couldn't pick up before they get inside the car.Vincent turned to look at me with his eyebrows. I guess he is communicating with me slowly to either come with Aysel or we should ditch her.My phone beeped in my hand. I checked the notification and saw Liam text on my phone. Actually, Aysel didn't have my number which was why Liam send the location text himself.“He sent the location. I think we should go" I said and Vincent nodded his head with a smile.He kissed my hand before he etwined my hand with his and dragged me to the passenger seat. Opening the car door, he pulled the door open and I get in.Vincent drove the car to the famous restaurant and help me with the door while Ays
”Hello, Aysel," I start, clenching my hand against my side while Vincent tries to focus his attention on me, but I doubt it would change a thing because I wouldn't act friendly to Aysel today.“Is there a reason I need to reply to that question you asked? I mean, we aren't that close to sharing something personal," I said aloud for her to grasp what I was saying.Liam eyes look in my direction briefly before he suddenly shifts his attention to Aysel. He didn't bother to walk in to explain himself. Perhaps, he thought I would open my mouth and inform Aysel myself that I am working as his secretary.Aysel laughed cutely, covering the part of her mouth with her hand. ”I'm sorry. It's just that I didn't expect Emily to talk to me that way," Aysel lied through her pretentious face as if I was the wicked person here.I scoffed only to notice a change in her expression. “It wouldn't be hard for you to tell me you came here with your new boyfriend," Aysel said with a scornful look.Calming m
It was already three minutes past 4 in the evening when I left my office room and walked towards the elevator. Liam left before me and he didn't bother to strike up any conversation with Mr after the heated argument we had in his office room concerning Vincent.I had to admit that he has been acting weird, which is not something I am oblivious to. It's all written on his face compared to in the past when he was good at masking his emotions but things are different now.“Ms Emily, will you be coming to the party? I heard it was thrown because of you" One of the workers working in the management department said, walking towards.She is a lady in her late twenties with a good petite figure. Something any man would be crazy for because of the way she carried herself with her stunning walking steps.However, I cleared my throat when I realized she just asked me a question and which party she was talking about. Or is anyone having a birthday party which I wasn't aware of?“Is there a party
Call me a Lunatic because the truth is I want to give Liam a slap for calling me a cheating woman when he knows nothing. The fact that he believed whatever lies Aysel told him is still outrageous, considering the fact that I was with him all through and the rare times Vincent appeared varies.“You have know right to say that to me when you are the one having an affair Liam. I only came here as your secretary out of your own will." I said, breathing through my lips as I tried to calm my nerves.”You signed the contract Emily." Liam interjected, acting as if I plead to him to take me back.If only he knew things won't be the same after the 5 month contract expired.“Because you are threaten me with someone else company Liam. You wanted to ruin what Mr Smith has used his life savings to build. You want to ruin it in span of 24 hours" I spat back with venom in my tone.I tried to adjust my expression, taking in a deep breath while Liam only looked at me as I just said something bad. He t
Vincent's eyes followed my direction. I cussed Liam in my mind before returning my gaze to Vincent. Perhaps, it's time to pay back. After all, Vincent will be coming to pick me up in the evening. I can as well act as if I was into him just to spite Liam.“I will be waiting till you get back to pick me up. I am going to miss you, Vincent," I said, and before he could reply to me, I closed the distance between us and kissed his cheek.Vincent's eyes glinted with mischievousness but I smiled to ease the tension.“Take care of your sweet," Vincent said before walking back towards his car, but suddenly, he stopped and walked back to me. My eyebrows raised in question, and at the same time, I felt a cold sweat break on my back. He knew he was looking at our way because he had refused to walk in since the car was parked. As if he wants to see the scene unfold right in front of him.Vincent's hand rested on my shoulder and I tense. “I wanted to adjust the polo." He gave one simple excuse, wh
The sun already rose from the East when I got ready to get to work. I picked up my bag and car key after bidding Xavier goodbye when he got inside the school bus.Turning the doorknob, my eyes widened like a saucer as if I had just seen a ghost, but it wasn't a ghost; actually, Vincent stood in front of my doorstep holding a bouquet in his hand. I smiled like a baby when he flashed me his brightest smile.“Good morning, Ugly duckling," Vincent said with amusement, and I couldn't hold back my smile.“This is a token of my heart to you," Vincent said, and I took the bouquet from his hand. Thank you, Vincent, I said, smiling while looking at the bouquet.“I actually came at the right time. 8 will drive you," Vincent said aloud, and I raised my eyebrows at him in question.“What?" I asked, raising my hands in the air in a dramatic way. The corner of Vincent's eyes twitched, looking at me. “That's ridiculous and I won't allow you to do that," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.“Says
