Falling For Mr King Chapter Fifty-Seven
After careful consideration, and in light of recent unfavorable circumstances; such as repeated leaks which are now negatively impacting business objectives, Cheggo Foodshas decided to engage another agency to execute the “Eat to live” campaign. We humbly request that your agency ceases all work on the project immediately and delivers all source files and assets to us within…Marie whisked her eyes from the Email, unable to continue reading. Her heart fluttered with tension as she looked at Steven’s face. He looked positively livid and ready to fire someone. This was the Steven that she knew. The fearsome billionaire whom no one dared cross. It could have been worse but now was not the time to bring that up to him. She was however glad that the agency had not been completely fired. But even she knew that outsourcing projects due to leaks could only be a harbinger of worse things to come. She looked at Steven now, his jaw clenching as he typed rapidly on his phone. She had no envy wh
Falling For Mr King Chapter Fifty-Eight
“Babes! I have missed you so, Marie! How have you been?” Sandra's chirpy voice thundered on the phone immediately Marie answered.If she was being honest, she was not happy with Sandra and didn't want Sandra upsetting her before her date with Antonio. She planned to have a great time and a call with Sandra was sure to ruin that.“Fine. Thank you. How are you?” She replied in a stilted tone that she hoped conveyed the disappointment and hurt she was feeling.Seemingly oblivious, Sandra plunged on in her upbeat voice.“You've got to come over Babes! I have so much to tell you! I don't want to give hints but it has to do with me getting very cozy with a certain gentleman you'd be interested in knowing.”Was this why she was calling her? Because she had met someone new and not because she wanted to talk about their issues?Marie shook her head, feeling a headache coming on. That was something Sandra did often. Tried to gloss over issues with feigned friendliness and when that didn't work,

Steven turned on his side as he thought about what he had overhead tonight. Maybe she had been so upset that she didn't care about how loud her voice was but it had carried all the way to his office and so he had been forced to come out. That's when he had overheard Marie saying that she loved him. That she had loved him for years. It was possible that she had been talking about someone else but his crazy, hopeful heart said otherwise.Marie was in love with him. The Assistant he couldn't afford to lose was in love with him. He felt his heart exploding with a myriad of emotions. There was a part of him that felt ecstatic about the information, and the other part was terrified because he suddenly felt like he had to do something about the feelings stirring in his heart.His eyes darted to the bedside clock beside him. The time was 10 PM and true to her word, she hadn't returned. He hadn't planned to do what he had done earlier today. He had just been so conflicted about her going out w

“Why do you look like I'm leading you to your death, Marie?”“Who knows where we’re going? Remind me again why I have to do this! Our marriage is fake, Steven. I do not need to meet your family. Call your grandfather and tell him I'm not coming. Tell him I'm sick or something.” “You know, I could tell him you’re sick because you're carrying my baby. How's that for an excuse?” He asked, his voice deadpan.“Is that supposed to be funny!” Marie shrieked, causing Steven to howl with laughter. “He’s just an old man, you know? He doesn't bite. If it makes you feel better, he can't even walk without support.” Steven said.“That doesn't make me feel better, Steven.”“Well, put on your big girl pants because here we are.” Steven said, as he pulled into Alden’s driveway. Marie's fear about meeting his grandfather as not just his assistant but his wife would have been a lot more amusing if he wasn't terrified himself. But what could he do? He had woken up to a summon by the man and Alden wasn'
Falling For Mr King Chapter Sixty One
Steven let out a sigh as he ran a hand over his face. What he had thought would be a fairly straight forward process had turned out to be a lengthy one fraught with complications. Creatives had certain mannerisms and most of the people who had come highly recommended weren't fitting into the mold. He had been looking for someone who would blend in as a creative person even though they were a mole. He had been about to give up when Marie sent in a lady called Cadence Steele. After some background checks and thorough interviewing, he had found out that she was the one for the job. Now, he sat at his desk, hungry and exhausted, and at the risk of running late for his special surprise for Marie. He wanted to make tonight so special that all the resistance she had built up in the past weeks ebbed away. He texted Sarah to ensure that all the fresh ingredients he had requested for dinner had been delivered. Marie had already left for her house an hour ago to meet up with Antonio. Steven ho

“So why do you keep trying?”“This may be hard for you to believe Steven, but not everyone wants to end up old and alone. I know I don't.”That's what she thought? That he wanted to be old and alone? “ I want love. I want someone to choose me. I want to have a family of my own.” Marie said in a wistful tone under her breath. Steven wondered if she knew that she had said the words aloud when her head whipped up in shock.“Did I just admit that out loud? Oh my God, I am such a dolt!”“No, Marie. You're not.”“I wish I could love Antonio. I really do because I've spent so much time loving a man who may or may not love me and I'm tired of waiting.”Steven said nothing because he wasn't quite sure where and how to cut in. He had hoped that after they ate and kissed, everything would be crystal clear to her.“Sorry, oh my God, you should see your face, Steven. Thank you for everything you did. You are a nice guy, and such a great friend.”Friend? He didn't want to be her friend. Did frie

“Steven, stop. Oh my God. Someone will see us. Steven, stop!”Marie said, laughing as she tried to push a mischievous-looking Steven away from her. They were in the parking lot, waiting for the elevator, when Steven suddenly got very handsy.“Steven, people are coming. They will see us.”“So, let them. We’re married, Baby.”“Steven! If you keep this up, you’re going to lose your Godzilla status. No one will fear you anymore.”“Mhmmm… A small price to pay if I get to do this…” He said, grabbing her waist and kissing her neck. The elevator opened and they came face to face with a group of staff. After shooting him a look that warned him to behave, Marie stepped into the elevator. Steven, who had been holding both her purse and her briefcase, placed them down. Cracking his knuckles and neck, he came closer to a giggling Marie and said,“Now, where were we?” He grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, and then pulled her tighter to himself.“Steven, people are watching us!” She said
Falling For Mr King Chapter Sixty Four
Save me! Ellen is making a fuss about decor and seat placements and bla bla bla…Laughing while shaking her head, Marie focused on the work in front of her. No one had told her that being in a relationship was so distracting. The most she had done all day was type a memo. Her mind was jumbled up with thoughts of kissing Steven King and being in his arms. It was like her brain had decided to stop functioning and her insides were turning to jelly. So maybe he hadn't exactly popped the question yet but he had let his guard down so much.“I bet you're thinking about me.” The man in question teased, his eyes crinkling with mirth “What? No. I just got a text from Antonio.”“Liar.” He said, walking to her desk to plant a kiss on her cheek.Marie groaned inwardly at the thought of Antonio. She had to end things with him tonight. Even if Steven refused to place a label on whatever it was they were doing, she couldn't keep stringing him along. For some reason, she felt unsettled about going t
