Kamilla entered the massive door and found Samuel behind his desk. More than his commanding presence, she was drawn to the delectable aroma that pervaded the entire office. "I have an early appointment with Vasili this morning. It is still too early to wake you up for breakfast," he stands up and walks casually towards the conference table, his hands in his pockets. Kamilla watches him in silence, and while she was disappointed not to see him at breakfast this morning, his explanation surprised her. "We finished ahead of schedule," he said, stopping a few feet from the table. "Chef Anton made lunch," he gestured to the table, and she realized the table was set with a feast. She looked at the mouthwatering gourmet dishes, which must taste divine. Her stomach even growled with excitement. Despite the temptation to devour the delectable feast, she returned her inscrutable gaze to him. "Then eat well, Mr. Petrov," she said politely, meeting his intent gaze. "I will not keep you fr
Samuel's eyes widened in horror as Kamilla entered his room in a skimpy black lace nightgown. She strutted into his room barefoot and miserably dressed. Needless to say, the delicately thin fabric did not conceal anything beneath. Worse, she is not wearing anything underneath. He could see the perfect curve of her body and all of her treasures, teasing his imagination to dangerous heights. "Shit," he exhales deeply and massages his temple. He suddenly got a headache."Let us sleep, Mr. Petrov," she said, smiling excitedly. However, unlike her, he is dreading going to bed. "You just sleep, Kamilla. I have to finish this" he sounded commanding despite struggling to calm his tumultuous heart.He has already finished his work and shut down his laptop. However, due to her outfit, he must turn it back on. "Can it wait until tomorrow? "It is late," she says, pouting as she walks towards him. She folded her arms against her chest and waited for him. However, he could not bear to look at
"Ella?" Kamilla turned to see who had called her, and she mentally scoffs as she recognizes who it was."I know it is you," the girl's smile spread as she confirmed it was Kamilla."How are you? She took the seat across from her without being invited."I am great, Celine," Kamilla said dryly. She is not in the mood for small talk, especially with Celine Donlov.After work, she wanted to spend some time by herself. Unlike other days, she left work early and declined to eat dinner with her team, as they typically do. However, meeting her ex-friend, Celine, made her reconsider her plans. "Ivan already works for Petrov Petroleum. "My dad made a referral for him," Celine said as she settled into her seat.Despite her disinterest in the whereabouts of Ivan, she was glad he made it to Petrov Petroleum. It was their dream to work for one of the Petrov enterprises while still in university. "I also work at the Petrov Resort and Casino," Celine continued, despite receiving no answer from he
"I think we need to get Ella out of here, Celine," Ivan murmured frantically. But he received a severe roll of the eyes from her. "Do you still have feelings for her?" Celine lashed out in rage. Ivan has no response to her. He does not want to get into trouble with Celine. Unlike Kamilla, Celine is quite a brat who throws tantrums whenever she is displeased.Under the watchful eyes of everyone inside the cafe, Kamilla took a seat next to Samuel Petrov.Breaths were held as they dreadfully gaze from afar. They are all expecting the worst from the girl's bravado. Only Celine seemed excited, whilst Ivan became concerned for Kamilla. Nobody has ever messed with a Petrov, even as a joke. More so, three terrifying Petrov men in one location. Ivan swallowed uncomfortably, as did the rest, anticipating Kamilla to be kicked out. While everyone was worried about her, Kamilla settled into her seat and relaxed. Three sets of inquiring eyes shift to her, but she keeps her gaze fixed on her c
Following her declaration, Kamilla turned aside and fled, much to Carl and Denver's amusement. Samuel turns to his two cousins with a deathly cold countenance, who swiftly stifle their laughter by feigning a cough. "Wait till it is your turn. The Petrov curse will haunt you as well." Samuel narrowed his eyes as the two men managed to get serious. "That's not a nice joke, Samuel" Carl grumbled softly as he rose to leave. Since Kamilla had left, they have no reason to stay. "You could feel the curse, Carl," Samuel smirked. "Do not remind me," Carl said coldly, shaking his head. Unconcerned, the three of them made their way to the door amid the eerie silence and everyone's watchful gaze. Before they could even go outside, several black cars with security guards were already waiting. "Good luck" Carl and Denver patted Samuel's shoulder. "Fuck you," Samuel grimly replied before they parted ways. They each got into their own vehicle. A fleet of black vehicles soon exited downtown
"You pissed a hellcat?" Denver chuckled as he noticed Samuel at the entryway."A possessive hellcat" Samuel shake his head while touching his tender neck.As expected, he is covered in purple and crimson kiss marks. Unfortunately, it is in areas that his business suit cannot conceal. Not even his jaw was spared. "You got a fiesty one. Bolder than Lia and crazier than Abby" Denver sounded sympathetic rather than mocking."Yes, crazier than Abby. Kamilla will be the death of me. She is full of energy, I am not sure I could keep up" shaking his head, he roughly take a deep breath."She is young and youngsters these days are more adventurous. Young bloods are dauntless and curious. Don't forget their temper too" Denver muttered while looking straight ahead. "Lia is here?" He squinted his eyes as he looked at the figure in the distance. His glance shifted to check on the security personnel surrounding the place. "They are her security," Denver continued after he was certain. "Yeah, sh
Kamilla stared at Doctor Sabrina's furious eyes but she remained unfazed.Those who saw how the doctor grabbed Kamilla's arm were disquieted. Kyriz and Michael, about to enter the elevator, came to a halt. The two guys quickly veered in the direction where Kamilla was stuck. They wanted to aid her, but they came to a halt after only a few steps, hesitant to approach. "What are you doing, Doctor?" Kamilla inquired calmly, her gaze shifting to the hand clutching her arm."Putting you in your place, newbie" Sabrina's fingers dig tight on her arm but she shows nothing of the pain she feels."Unhand me, Doctor." she says softly, looking up to meet her gaze."Not before I teach you proper manners. How dare you to snatch the Petrov's attention, especially Mr. Samuel Petrov. You are nothing in comparison to Director Lee and myself, Miss Laskin. You are new here, thus you should know where to put yourself. Do not even think about stealing Sir Samuel's favor. I will not hesitate to break your
"Doctor Lia wanted to speak with you," Jean said, patting her shoulder to get her attention. With the lobby delay, Kamilla hurried to the laboratory to begin her day. It was mid-morning, and she was already working with her samples. "In her office," Jean said as she turned to face her. "Thank you, Jean" she smiled at her before continuing what she was doing. She is almost done, but she needs to finish her experiment before leaving. She soon stood up and prepared to meet with Doctor Lia in her office. "Doctor Lia," she called softly, noticing the doctor was focused with the document she was reading at her desk. "Kamilla," Lia said with a smile on her lips as she looked up and saw her at the door. "Come, have a seat," she said, gesturing to the chair across from her, which Kamilla immediately took. "You mentioned earlier in the lobby that you needed to talk to me about serious matters," Lia gave her full attention to Kamilla, who kindly smiled back. "Yes, Doctor Lia
