Falling For Mr King Chapter Seventy Eight
“You know you promised, Marie. And so you can't argue with me.” Steven said, smiling as though he was a custodian to a mighty secret no one else knew about.“Gosh, what have I gone and done now? Steven King, you know what I meant when I said I would make it up to you!” She said, planting her hand on her hips and frowning. Her actions only seemed to ignite whatever fire was burning in him because he immediately smiled and said,“Angry Marie is sooo hot.”“Steven.”“Marie. Don't argue with me. You promised and I kept my end of the deal. I don't even want a hard thing. I just want you to work from here today.”Marie's mouth fell open at his request. Was it time to start wishing for her Godzilla boss who would have fired her if she had dared encroach his personal space without cause?“Steven King, you want me to work from the same space as you?”“Yes Ma’am. I’d rather not have to walk all the way whenever I want to kiss my wife, or hug her from behind or…”“Steven, this is a work environm
Falling For Mr King Chapter Seventy Nine
Steven spared a glance at Marie who seemed to be in a fierce battle with her keyboard. He couldn't for the life of him figure out what was wrong with her. She had been perfectly fine till he addressed the team, then she had just gotten up, walked to the bathroom and came out upset. Marie had always been a sensitive woman, one he had always had to be softer with even when their relationship had been purely professional.He fought back a smile as he recalled the early days and how she would sulk or sometimes cry when he gave her feedback. But she had picked up far better than most assistants he had worked with and that's why he had kept her for these ten years. She had such a quick brain that seemed to remember everything and everyone and preempt the things he needed fixed before he even had to brief her. She had saved him so much time and money that he wasn't sure if he would be half as effective at his job if she wasn't so good at hers. She looked up at him briefly before dropping her

Arghh. That woman was here. Again. Why she grated on his nerves so much, he had no idea. The fact was that the front gate had texted him about an hour, thirty minutes ago asking if he was expecting her and he had not responded. Although the issue with Marie had been bugging him, he also had been reluctant to let the woman in when he and Marie were not around. Marie looked from her friend’s face to his and immediately knew.Bugger. He had never been good enough at hiding things from her. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at him, a lips forming into a tight line. He ordered the driver to wind down the windows so they could talk with Sandra.“Hi Babes. I'm so sorry, I had no idea you were waiting out for me.” Marie said in a placating tone.“Babes. I get it, you're the wife of a billionaire now. But this is a bit much. I have been standing here for almost two hours. I have called you several times. I even called him!” Sandra said, pointing an accusing finger at Steven.Steven, who wasn

Before he could say a word, she started clearing the dishes.“Leave it. Come with me.”“No, Steven. You cooked, I want to clean.”“Marie, please. Don't fight me about everything. Just come with me.”“Okay.” She said, rinsing her hands, and following him.The elevator ride to Steven’s floor was silent. Steven looked angry but Marie wasn't sure why. Was it because Sandra had visited her here? She couldn't stop her best friend from visiting her and it wasn't fair that Steven wasn't even making an effort to be friends with her. It's not like their marriage had ended on hostile terms. The elevator opened and Steven stepped out of it, holding his hand open for her.“Thank you.” She said, taking his outstretched hand.He fetched a blanket from his room, and sat down on the floor before motioning for her to join him. Marie ran a hand over her belly, casting furtive glances at the TV and then him. She saw his jaw harden and then relax before he turned to the TV and turned on MasterChef Austral

“Steven, wake up.” Marie said, shaking him awake.“ Steven! Wake up!” Steven’s eyelids fluttered as she struggled to pull himself off. He had just begun to hit that spot where the sleep was the sweetest, not to mention he has been dreaming about doing things with Marie that he couldn't wait to do.“Steven!” She screamed and all thoughts of pleasure vanished from his mind.“What?” He asked, wondering why there was such a ruckus.“There are policemen at the front door.”“Why?”“I don't know. We have to go and find out.”“Right.” He said, as the last vestiges of sleep cleared from his eyes. He kicked off the covers and climbed down from the bed.She followed him as he walked briskly to the door before he turned back.“Where are you going?” He asked, staring pointedly at her chest.“I'm following you out there.”“You are absolutely not doing that. Until I know what they want.”“But…”“Marie, stay back here and don't come out till I get back.”He said, walking out and heading to the fro
Falling For Mr King Chapter Eighty Three
Marie smiled down at the red dress she wore to work today. She did feel quite beautiful in it and she had liked the way Steven King had looked at her when she came out. Like she was the best thing after sliced bread. Even now that they were in the office, he found reasons to step out and plant kisses all over her face and neck. Even though she put up mock protests everytime he tried to, she really liked that he paid no mind to her. She had been worried about Cadence Steele sitting in his office when they arrived but after his meeting with her, he had come out all smiles and so she tried to put the worries out of her mind.Her mind flashed back to the earlier occurrence in the morning. It felt so weird that Antonio, a man whom she had been considering a relationship with and had gotten assaulted by, was now dead. At a deeper level, she knew Steven had nothing to do with his death directly, but had he somehow done anything that inadvertently led to his death? Her phone beeped, reminding

“Steven, don't open it. Do not open it.”“Marie, calm down. It's not what you think it is.”It's not?”“No. Before I would do what you're thinking, we would have had a rather serious and long conversation. This is something else.”She sighed, relieved that he wasn't about to repropose, if there was any word like that.“Okay, in that case. I’m ready.” She said, grinning.He opened the box to reveal an exquisite set of silver earrings, chain and a bracelet that shimmered so wonderfully. The chain had a pendant engraved with her name on it.“You know I thought about engraving my name on it, but I didn't want you to think I'm vain.”“This is so beautiful, Steven. I don't know what to say.”“Say you like and you’ll wear it and one of my shirts tonight.”“Steven King!” She half-yelled.“You did say, you didn't know what to say. I was just helping out.”“This is so beautiful,Steven. Thank you.” She said, moving her hair away from her neck so he could put the necklace on her. Then the earrin

“It’s courtesy. Calling, texting, updating. That sort of thing.” Steven said, shaking his head as an unremorseful James stuck his head in the refrigerator and pulled out a beer. Marie snorted and then averted her gaze when Steven scowled at her.“Hey Sunshine, you are a sight for sore eyes. Come here and give me a hug.” James said, ignoring Steven.She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him in a bear hug.“Why is he so grumpy?” James asked, his voice lowered in a conspiratorial tone.“I think he misses you. A hug and a sloppy wet kiss should do the trick.” She whispered, glancing at Steven who was frowning at them.“It seems it may take more than that.” James replied as Marie bursted out laughing before wrapping her arms around James.“Forget him. I missed you.” She said, as James hugged her back.“Marie, need I remind you that you're married? To me?” He asked in a tone that made Marie bite back a smile. Jealous Steven was so cute and silly because this was James, his best
