Abigail It took a lot of smiles from my face to make Jack calm down. I felt really bad this time because I should have at least given my own coffee to Sarah and taken his own, that way, I would have known what it tasted like against a day like this. But then, I recalled that I also had not asked him to make me coffee nor did he ask me after my preference. He went on to assume things and I went on with my life. If anyone should be feeling bad right now, it should be me.Nevertheless, I noted how at first, he had smiled wearily like he was forcing it. I wondered if he wanted me to notice it or something. Whatever the case may be, I was not really moved at the moment. I simply watched his reaction and then told him I needed to start going back to the office as there was a ton of work there for me to do. He nodded immediately with a smile that was a little nerve unsettling. I realised I was not cool with him being around me. What would Lucas think when he sees us this way? If anything,
Lucas I was unsettled even as I drove back home. Lucinda knew what she was playing at and I just had this hunch she had an ace up her sleeves. Clearly, she had told those cops that I had been the crazy ex. There was no way in the world the duo could have known where she was if she did not mention, or even that she would be passing a certain way. It was all intentional and I was already angry. I drove in a frenzy with a clear cut promise that I would pursue this case.Home, it felt like I was in a strange place. It was tossing and turning around all through that I had to keep dealing with as the memory of what had happened with Abigail kept playing through my mind. Clearly, I had betrayed my best friend and the trust he had for me. I didn't even know how I would face him should he return and that was not compared to how I would feel when he called me. I also knew that skipping his calls would do no justice which meant that I would face him eventually.But then, why did I feel like it
Lucas My reaction to Abigail was really hurting me but at this point, I was already battling with so much. There was a high chance that my best friend was being cut open at this very moment and he might not make it. I did not want to live with the memory that after he left, I was already taking advantage of his daughter. That would haunt me forever. I would have rather she and I come clean to him together. That way, there would be clarity in everything we did. All I needed was his phone call to tell me that he was doing alright after the surgery. On her own part, Abigail was already making me nervous. I saw how beautiful she looked and had we not been doing these things secretly, I could have gone over to embrace her. It would mean so much to calm me down that I have a feeling for her. Besides, she looked really beautiful when I saw her. I wondered if she had taken her time to dress up for me or something. I decided that I would avoid her for the time being and stay here praying tha
Abby He had actually gone inside and that really made me feel sad. Whatever that supervisor had been saying to me after that simply did not reach my brain as expected. I mean, Lucas did not even see me and that really made me feel stupid. I thought about it the best way that I could and all my mind was telling me was that he had already gotten what he wanted from me. It was around this time the supervisor called my attention and told me I had not been paying attention. She asked me if I was feeling bad over how the boss had spoken to me and I told her no. She then said she would let me off and asked me to return to my seat."That was intense." Sarah said as she looked over to me. "Are you okay?"She had already finished the coffee and this right now was when I needed it really bad. I seriously wanted to lash out at her but I knew that would make me seem crazy. I smiled and told her that I was fine. She returned her gaze to her computer which actually sat down well with me. I mean, it
Abby How badly I wanted to turn and warn Sarah to mind her business and stay the hell away from my business. She was not just acting all familiar with me but now, she was making me mad. I was already having enough on my plate that I wanted to keep busy with and yet, here she was adding salt to injury with her assumptions that were doing me no good. It was his own choice to want to do anything before them but right now, I was feeling hurt. I had to still pretend on top of all that pain like I could not feel anything. Like I was immune and it was not easy. I craved a distraction. I needed space and I knew walking away from her right now might seem like the best thing to do but it was definitely going to raise questions. I had to look at her and smile simply without saying anything and from her look, I could tell she had been expecting that I would contribute to her theories.Darling, you are clearly used to talking about people and I could understand that but it was not my thing. I had
Lucas I drove myself to the police station and the moment I arrived, they did recognise me. That actually got me thinking and wondering about the ones from last night. They should have recognised me, right? Or were they going to say it was because of the night or something? I was really confused as to what had happened but that would not matter. Their superior would hear of their great job done at catching the criminal me. I went up to one of them and demanded that I be allowed to make a direct statement. The young woman was worried about how she looked and I knew she must have known something. I told her if there was a problem and she said not to that as well before she asked who I would be lodging the complaint against, I told her right there that it was the police. The fear in her eyes was so open at this point and I knew she had heard that I would be coming. That means they did recognise me last night.She started to punch in some keys on her keyboard as she was staring into the
Lucas This was exactly why I always made certain that I brought my A game to every meeting. I had been expecting that he would at some point make a request and the moment I realised that he was new, I understood what he would want. Every chief wanted things to go smoothly while they were in power and anything that would make it seem like they were doing nothing was a problem that needed to be fixed or destroyed. He needed this to go away like it never happened and all was before he would release something I needed. I was going to enjoy talking to this man more than Paul. No offence to the latter but he would push things so far until one starts wondering what his problem was."I take it that's the price of getting me the private investigator, right?" I demanded."Yes, Sir." He responded."You do realize that I could get myself a private investigator elsewhere. Someone who would not make irrational demands, right?" I asked him.He observed me for some time and I could tell what he migh
Lucas"You're a collector?" I asked him as I noticed the number of sculptures and old things. He smiled."Nah. That was my dad. And his dad before him. Archeologists and they sure loved the past. I collect modern things like binoculars, telescopes and stuff. Including cameras." He said to me,The way he said cameras made me start wondering if he knew that I had been observing his own. Nevertheless, I let this strange man lead me inside. There was a lovely dog on his couch and he had it get off as we entered."He's lovely." I noted."Yeah. You know we two had been watching you from the inside and I knew no one really enjoys coming to pay me a courtesy visit. I figured you might be lost at first but no way any lost person makes that number of turns and this was while I was hoping to take a nap. But then, you arrived and paged me, so I had to play along while scanning you. Your details popped up after you had arrived. Just in case you're wondering how I knew your name." He said to me an
LucasI was glad that finally I had found myself a woman that stood on the same page as I did and she was just perfect. That night was already solemn enough for us two and I was not going to try and make love to her. We already had a lot of talk about Gavin and I knew that going for her sexually would make it seem like I only craved that. We went to sleep in each other's arms and then I woke up the next morning early enough to know that I would have to go start getting ready for work.I had gotten home in time and my cleaning lady was already there when I started preparing. I finished up and I drove myself to work and it was then that I remembered that I had missed a call last night. I decided that I would check on it in the office and call the person involved. I was just getting to the office when I noticed some people huddled around and this was really strangely familiar. There was a bus parked down the street and I drove inside. The moment I stepped down, there were cameras clickin
Lucas Right here, in this very moment, was where I wanted to be. I was really excited that I had finally made it here and so far, there was actually no drama between us. Abigail did not even ask about the whole Lucinda drama which made me feel really great about what was happening between us. I watched as she straddled me and then asked her if she was not going to let me get inside her but she smiled and I knew she had an ace up her sleeves. I asked her about what she was planning to do and she asked me if I thought she was going to do something and I shook my head. This girl truly had me wrapped up around her fingers and I was clearly letting her do that without any questions of the sorts. I watched her movements and I knew that she was trying her hardest to seduce me. That was when my phone started ringing and I was wondering who it was. My first thought was that Lucinda was calling me again and I chose to ignore it as I focused on Abigail's pretty face. She asked me why I was no
Abby"Wow, finally you're offering free rides, Jack. I have always wondered what it would be like in that super nice care of yours." Someone said and I turned to find the supervisor approaching. I swear I would hug this woman desperately if I could at the moment.She was already coming over and from the look on Jack's face, he was not cool with it at all. He smiled and then started to ask which way she was going when the woman told him that she lived around where I did. I was worried immediately as I started wondering if this was true? I mean, if she knew where I lived, that could mean that she has seen Lucas. Now, I would really need to figure that out but Jack was speaking again. He said of course and came to open the front door. Anyone could tell from how he looked at me that he had done that for me but she went on to thank him as she got inside the car. Jack hid his anger and then handed me my bag as he came to open the back seat for me with great reluctance. The moment I got in,
AbbyHaving Lucas stand up for me was a whole different level that I had not been prepared for. I had not been expecting it at all. When he had rescued me from Lucinda, I had been anticipating that he would probably be compassionate towards her and I would much later ask him what was so complicated about his relationship with her but alas, that was not the case as he had scolded her as she deserved. I would have thought that would be enough until we went back inside and he called everyone to attention and started asking questions. The moment everyone had turned their gazes on Sarah, I realised that I was not amazed. But then, Donna had called her out when she tried to sell her story and I instantly knew why she had done that. Apparently, Sarah had been expecting that a scent would stem up between Lucinda and I but then she was disappointed. If everything had gone as planned, she would have had something to come to play sympathy with and then at the same time, castigate me before all
LucasThe moment we entered, Abigail started playing her part really well when she thanked me for stepping up for her. I told her it was all on her supervisor who had come to inform me in due time. She turned respectfully to the woman and started thanking her. At least, we knew how to play coverups with them all. I then decided to let her supervisor know that I would be taking Abigail off her hands fully as I would be moving her to my office. She would learn alongside my assistant. The woman did not seem too happy and asked me right there if I was trying to punish Abigail for going out earlier as she had been the one who sent her when she thought that Abigail had been off work for sometime now. I smiled and then shook my head as I reassured her that this was not the case. I actually believed that regardless of everything, Abigail did possess potential."I told you so. I'm actually really glad you're considering her." She said to me,"Well, that's if Miss Abigail here would put in her
Lucas I watched Lucinda leave and I felt a huge sense of relief that she was gone. All I could think of right now was Abigail and I was more or less excited that it was all done. I patted my pocket where I had her panties in and smiled to myself with so much relief boldly spelt out on my face. Eventually, I reclined back on my seat as I started thinking about how I would be going about the rest of the day. I would probably stop by a florist and get her flowers. I mean, every woman loves flowers, right? Then probably add a pack of chocolates and a very alcoholic wine to get us really into that mood. Although the both of us were together alone, I knew that we did not need wine for anything. I was just being cocky and also smart at the moment. I was already getting deep into my thoughts when someone walked over and knocked. I screamed at my assistant that I had asked him to resolve whatever would be coming to me when the supervisor called out to me. I was definitely going to be pisse
AbbyThere was something else she wanted to know and she needed to see me. I started rubbing my eyes with my hands so it would give off enough red before I stood up and flushed the toilet. I walked out and she saw me, there was so much pity in her eyes. She told me she had not been expecting that I would cry that much and asked me to wash my face while she waited. I was still doing so when she went off to her next question. This was about Lucinda and I totally disliked it. I was already hating the lady and I did not need more reminders on why I did that. I asked her what she wanted to know about the lady and she started off with the story of how I had been in the office when she entered."Surely, she must have reacted with jealousy to you. I mean, did she say anything at all to you?" She asked me."Actually, no. When she arrived, I was already out with Mr Lucas' assistant. He had me filling out something and I think it's related to the whole arrangement for tomorrow." I said to her an
Abby I smiled at Lucas because I was speechless. The way this man carried himself and the air around him which spoke nothing short of confidence was really something I could not begin to fathom. I tried to plead my cause and he went on to make this even more sexier and harder on me when he threatened to ask for my bra too. That would actually be disastrous especially owing to the fact that my nipples were quite perky and I was already feeling horny. I had to make the decision quickly and I handed him my panties. He moved it up to sniff it and I was about to jump on this man. Eventually, I had to leave his office after securing myself a bet that he too would not seek for other means to relieve himself. I had actually seen how his male member had suddenly become prominent through his pants and I was already feeling like this was a win-win situation. I walked out and the moment I opened the door, I felt the vulnerability of my situation right now. I was naked underneath and that was no
LucindaThis was all intentional to take my time and then I arrived. I put up my act again and I told them that he was not the one. Lucas at this point was pissed off at me and I could tell. I started trying to trade the pity story that I was actually referring to my apartment as my ex was always coming there to harrass me. I was not sure what I was hoping for but it definitely did not do me any good when he had suddenly driven away. I was ashamed and ashamed. The officers then approached me and demanded to know what stunt I had played as they were well aware that I had said that I was being followed and even described the car. I chuckled and asked them if I had really said that and then told them that I had a few drinks and must have said something in that regard. However, that was my worst move yet as I had unknowingly convicted myself as a drunk driver and I was taken away. One of the officers drove my car as they deemed it fit that a drunk driver should not be let loose on the ro
