Falling For Mr King Chapter 126
The next morning, Steven sauntered to the kitchen for a cup of coffee when he smelled the aroma of burning food.“Arghhhhh. My potatoes.” Sandra exclaimed while running to turn off the flame. Steven sighed inwardly as he walked past Sandra who stood glaring at him as though he was somehow the reason her food had gotten burnt.“Morning.” He said, strolling to the coffee pot while debating whether to go back to put on a shirt. He had temporarily forgotten about the presence of the stranger in his home and had felt content to roam around bare cheated while he drank his coffee but the way Sandra's eyes were roving over his bare torso made him uncomfortable.“Good Morning, Steven.” She said as her face crumpled into a sad expression. She wasn't going to begin another crying spell today, was she?“Do you feel better this morning?” He asked for a lack of something better to say.“No, I feel worse. Yesterday I was simply heartbroken, now I am not only heartbroken but hungover. I think I'm goi

“Do you feel better now?” Steven croaked, as he patted Sandra’s back.“I don’t know. This makes me feel so much better, please just a little longer, Steven.” She mumbled against his skin. Whenever Marie whispered things against his bare body, it usually felt like his entire being was being set on fire from the warmth of her breath, but with Sandra, it felt so uncomfortable. Plus, he had no idea how to explain this to Marie if she walked in on him right now.“I’m probably not going to be hugged like this for a while? Who am I kidding? I probably won’t be hugged like this for the rest of my life!” She cried out, as Steven found himself forced once again to say,“Shhhhh…You’ll find someone to love you.” Steven said. A few moments later, she nodded and pulled away from him.“Can you tell me what’s wrong with me? Am I somehow lacking? Please, look at me.” She pleaded in a sultry voice that had Steven looking at her tearstained eyes and lips, and then the rest of her. She had a nice body th

Marie’s hand shook as she put on her earrings, she was still so unsettled by what Alden had told her. After making her drive to his place to meet up with their 6 AM appointment, he had refused to give an exact name. He had however hinted at the fact that he had someone watching the situation closely and that Theodore was definitely not the man they were looking for. When she had asked why Theodore had been trying to get another job and meeting with contacts from their rival agencies, Alden had laughed in her face and told her that working in an agency didn’t stop one from being friends with people from other agencies. But the real shock had come when he said he had done some snooping and found out why Theodore had been looking for another job. Apparently, Theodore’s wife had been diagnosed with Alzheimers and he wanted to spend more time at home with her. According to Alden, he had been too embarrassed to disclose the reason and hadn't wanted to attract pity. But if he knew he was fac

Was this really for comfort?Steven gripped Marie’s hand tightly and held on to her. He had no idea what she planned to do but from the venomous look she had tossed at Zed who was now walking towards them, he had no doubt that the situation would escalate out of control if he let her go.“Good Morning, Boss. Marie.” Zed said to him, barely sparing a glance at Marie. That was a smart choice as even Stven could feel the animosity coursing through her veins“Is it? Is it really a good morning, though?” Marie asked in a steely voice, causing Zed to narrow his eyes.“Excuse us, Zed.” Steven said, leading her away from where Zed stood with an astonished expression on his face. Marie said nothing as they rode the elevator to the office but he knew she would give him an earful once they arrived at his office, which was why he intended to set her head straight first. Pulling out stern Steven was probably the thing to make her realize that meddling in her friend’s relationship was a bad idea.Th

“Steven, what are you doing?” Marie called out, prompting a stunned Steven to jump in his seat.“Err… nothing. Just thought I'd check through your calendar to see what I have next since you weren't at your desk.”“Please, step away from my laptop, Sir.” She said, coming forward and slamming it down with more force than was necessary.“Did you sign me up for one of those annoying conferences again, Marie? I'm not attending nor speaking. If that's what you have people RSVPing for, I suggest you start finding my replacement and an excuse.”“I didn't sign you up for anything, Steven. And it's bad practice to go through someone else's inbox, even though they're your secretary or EA.” Marie said sulkily, crossing her arms over her chest.“What if you're married to them?” He countered, a smile dancing at the edge of his lips.“Did you want something, Sir? I’d like to get back to work.”“Marie, come on…” He said“Sir?”“Has anyone ever told you how stubborn you are?”A sardonic laugh escaped

She took out the platinum box that had Trust Bank’s logo on it and handed it over to Steven. He unwrapped a shiny, black and golden card and tossed it to her.What was happening?“What's going on?”“Look at it, will you?”She picked up the card and observed it. Her name was written on the card.“Marie, I've wanted to give you that for ages. The last time I tried to give you a card, you argued with me. You have no idea how glad I am to find out you're beginning to feel comfortable enough to ask me for this.”“You had a card made for me?” She asked in an incredulous tone.“Yes.”“Why? What do you mean why?”“Why do you have a card made for me?”“ Because I wanted you to have one.”“Doesn't that feel somewhat permanent to you?” She asked, unable to look him in the face. The truth was deep down she wanted him to bring up the contract they had signed and to tell her that he was working on another that meant they would be married forever, without conditions.“And you don't want it to be per

“Okay Marie, baby girl. Calm down, take a deep breath, and tell me what happened.” James said.“It's all ruined, all our efforts. I've just found out he’s going to be out of town for the entire weekend. I don't know what to do. Can I move it? I’d need to get a new venue, not to mention get the guests to RSVP again. Oh my God!”“Hold on, why do you have to reschedule?” James asked“Aren't you listening to anything I have been saying?” Marie snapped, rubbing her eyes with her fingers.“Okay, Baby girl. From what I gather, you think you’ll have to cancel or reschedule the party because Steven is traveling?”“Yes. The thing is I checked his calendar over and over, moved meetings, and made sure he didn't have to work that Saturday, and now this happens. I have no idea what to do, James.”“Listen to me sweetheart. Don't cancel anything, and don't fret. He’s not going anywhere, Baby girl and the party will happen as planned. Just breathe and let me handle it.”“Okay, James. Thank you.”“Anyt

“Hmmmmm. I missed you so much.” Steven said, inhaling Marie's fruity lavender scent.“Steven! I thought something was wrong.” She said, playfully swatting his back.“But something was. You made these elusive dinner plans and left me to fend for myself. I’ve been here for the past four hours, floundering around, lonely and unable to think straight.”“You flounder? Oh please.” She said, pushing his chest back with her palms.“Were the texts not a clear sign?” Steven asked.“By the way, James called me and was yapping about me not traveling on the 16th and I know only you knew that. Why does he know about my travel plans, Marie?”Her eyes lowered to the floor as her shoulders drooped. Had he said something wrong?“Are you alright?” He asked, tipping her chin so he could like into her eyes. He didn't really care that she had told James. He had just thought it would be fun to tease her about it.“I'm sorry. But I don't think it's fair that you have to work on your birthday. I just wanted t
