Falling For Mr King Chapter Fifty-Three
After Alden had left, Steven had tried his utmost best to reach his father so he could hear his side of the story but his calls had gone straight to voicemail and Desiree, who was his father's secretary hadn't taken any of his calls. Waving the issue out of his mind, Steven decided to concentrate on his work. He went over notes from the Cheggo Foodsmeeting and did a routine status report check on other accounts before he taught about getting lunch.He glanced wistfully at the corner where Marie would have been sittes if she had come to work. He wasn't going to admit to missing her even though his office felt like it had been stripped of color. How could one person elevate a space so much with her presence?By the time he had concluded three meetings and reviewed works that had been sent to him for approval in the past weeks, Steven glanced outside and realized it was dark. Shutting his laptop, he beeped his driver to ready his car and headed to the parking lot. At least Marie would

“What? What do you think I should know?” Steven asked, as Marie looked at him with solemnity in her eyes.“I…I think Alden is telling the truth. The circumstances under which he showed up at the Cottage seemed, well, suspect.”“Marie… I don't…”“Let me finish, Steven, please. I know this is a tough pill to swallow but I don't think your dad was in such danger. I think maybe he couldn't bear asking you for the money for his new business directly. Maybe there's some truth to what he said, but I doubt Alden made it up.”“Marie, you don't know my father. He’s a serial entrepreneur who has launched several successful businesses,”“Yes, City Boy. We hear you. But are any of them up and running today that you know of?”“Well, no.”“There you go, City Boy. Even you gotta see the truth at some point. Maybe it's for the best if you take Alden’s advice this time.”“That's hardly fair, James. You’ve never even liked my father.”“Woah, back up, City Boy. You and I know the only reason I haven't be

“Great! Hit me again, City Boy! Do it if it means you're going to actually confront all these… If it means you’ll stop being a BLOODY COWARD!”“James, I'm warning you. Shut up! You don't know everything!”“No, City Boy, I don't. But I do have eyes and I thank God they work. You think she's going to wait around forever for you to choose her?”Steven felt muscles pulling in his cheek even as he struggled to rein in his anger. He knew that James was right and that was what frustrated him the most. But James wasn't the one who had to deal with the falling out of his relationship with Yolanda. It was thanks to Alden's involvement that she hadn't wrecked him. It had been shocking to see someone whom he had seen as a lover transit into such a schemer. To date, he had no idea what Alden said to her to get her to drop the charges against him. After the nightmare he had ensured navigating both a broken heart and hushed criminal charges, he had decided never to get entangled with someone from

“So who's the lucky guy?” James said in a mock growl that had Marie howling with laughter.“ James, stop. He’s some guy I met at a bar. Well, he's cute and we had a great time.”When exactly had she had the time to meet this guy? Steven said nothing as he watched Sarah gather the glass shards into a pan to thrash. If Marie and James were surprised at him dripping his glass, no one was letting on.“Pah! I bet I still stand a chance to win your heart, Marie. So what's this guy's name?”“Antonio. Here's his picture.” Marie said as she turned her cell to James his picture.Not trusting himself not to say something that betrayed how he was feeling to both parties, Steven stayed silent.What he really wanted to do however was to lean over along with them and see who this mystery guy was.Was she in love with him?Steven didn't know why but it was an unwelcome thought in his head.“He looks good Marie, but are you sure he can make you laugh like I do? Humor chemistry is important you know?”
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

“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
Falling For Mr King Chapter Sixty
“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'
