"Have you called a taxi?" Charles said, and Gina swallowed... "I don't need to call a taxi. I only had a few drinks... I'm not drunk or even tipsy, " She answered, and Charles got up... he didn't look like he was going to let her walk out of the room so easily... He looked like he was about to scold her... "What if you get pulled over by the police?" He said... Gina opened her mouth to talk, but no words came out... "What about my car then, I can't leave it here." She finally found the words to say... She could take of herself... she has been taking care of herself... "You don't have to worry about your car. I can drop it over at your boutique tomorrow morning..." Charles took out his phone from his pocket, and Gina watched him do whatever he was doing till he was done... Her eyes travelled back and forth between him and his phone and it looked like he was texting someone... "I've called you a taxi... you can sit and wait till the taxi gets here, " He said to her and gestured fo
Juliet felt a piercing gaze on her body a few minutes after she had walked into her workplace the following week, and she knew exactly who it was, lana... she knew lana would be expecting feedback about her discovery, but juliet didn't want to talk about it... "Did you find out about Michelle Graham?" Lana asked juliet in a low voice a while later, not being able to keep her curiousity to herself... Johnny raised his eyes from his computer and stared back and forth between both women... he was right. something was up...he had asked lana when they both were in the breakroom earlier that morning, but she had brushed him off once again and asked him to mind his business... Juliet was aware that she couldn't avoid lana forever... she knew exactly how nosy lana was... She couldn't afford to let her know she knew Alex... "No, I think it was all a misunderstanding," Juliet lied, but lana didn't look like she bought the lie. She simply nodded and didn't ask anymore questions, thankfully...
Gina came out of the taxi Charles had called for her... She slowly started to walk to the front of her boutique but stopped in her tracks... Her heart was still racing after hearing Charles confession... She didn't give him an answer and was too shocked to speak...Thankfully the taxi had arrived and she left... She still didn't know how to react to his words... it was a mix of confusion, excitement, anger... disappointment... just so many emotions plaguing her all at the same time... She sighed deeply and ran her hand through her... she couldn't go back there again... she couldn't see him again.... Even though she felt the same way, she had to dimish the feeling before it grew... it was her sad reality that she had to deal with... Gian continued walking and was about to head straight to her office as she she walked into her boutique, but a familiar figure was waiting for her... "Gina!" She heard her name, and she turned to see Caroline staring at her with a bright smile on her f
"Has he remembered everything?" a man said in a low voice... He had a black hat on, and his head was hung a bit low as he spoke... "No, I don't think so," Michelle said to the man, her eyes filled with pure worry... Her eyes kept scanning the area she was in. Her entire body was filled up with goosebumps as she stood there. it was a chilly night, and they both stood outside talking... The man sighed deeply and turned to look at her... "I promise there is no way he can remember what happened," She said in a firm tone... The man remained silent for a few seconds before he nodded... "Did you come alone like I asked you to?" Michelle scoffed and rolled her eyes at the man... "Why are you asking me all this questions, when have I ever come here with someone. I'm not crazy!" She said in a slightly raised voice because of how agitated she had become... "Don't raise your voice at me... you and me both know I'm just being careful. " The man retorted, and Michelle glared at him.... She si
"Alex, please, let's just go." Juliet pleaded with him and held his arm before he could take any more steps towards the ladies... He let out a deep sigh and nodded, and juliet felt relief wash over her... They both walked out the restaurant in silence. He said nothing to her while she kept looking around in case anyone recognised him again... She could finally breathe again in relief when they were both inside his car... "I'm sure they were only wondering who I am." She said suddenly, hoping her words would help reduce the tension that had formed between the both of them in the car. "I'm sorry," Alex replied. He never wanted their lunch date to turn out like this. he just wanted them to spend a nice time together and now he ruined everything... "You don't have to be. some people don't just know how to mind their business, " Juliet replied. She knew it wasn't his fault... "We should go somewhere else. somewhere no one would disturb our peace, and I know just the place. " Juliet smiled
Alex was a bit curious about this, Mrs Flicher, now... What was her deal with Juliet, and why wouldn't she just mind her business. Thankfully, his warning to Claudia seemed to have worked. She didn't show up anymore... Maybe he needed to give this 'Mrs Flicher a warning too. "What offer did she make to you?" Alex asked again, and juliet looked hesitant to answer his question... "it isn't anything serious, don't worry about it..." Juliet trailed off because she almost blurted out her plans of moving away that she hadn't quite decided on yet... "Would you like a glass of water..." She said and quickly walked away towards her kitchen to avoid any more questions from Alex... Alex slowly walked after her and stood at the entrance of the kitchen, his eyes on Her as she poured him a glass of water... Juliet could feel his piercing gaze on her body, and she swallowed... and raised her eyes to look at him... Their eyes met, and she immediately looked away..... Her cheeks had started to H
The two of them stood there staring at each other, both their hearts racing... "I could show you," Alex breathed out, and juliet eyes never left his as Alex walked over to where she was standing and captured her lips, taking her breath away... She felt the tingles passing through her entire body, from her head to her toe, and she had to hold his arm for support as the kiss progressed... He started slowly, and she opened up to him and kissed him back... Alex broke the kiss so the both of them could catch their Breaths, but it wasn't enough for him. He wanted more and more... "Juliet," He said, her name out in a way that made her body Tremble in desire for him... "Yes," She whispered back, and he captured her lips once again... his tongue Exploring Her mouth and taking her brain to the clouds... Her hand slowly moved from his arms to his shoulders for more support, and Alex took it as she chance to lift her up, causing her to gasp into his mouth... Juliet broke the kiss and raised he
When Alex got home that night, he had a visitor waiting for him in his living room, looking completely anxious... "Sir!" Patrick said immediately he saw Alex walk into the living room... He was beyond anxious and had been waiting for almost an hour for Alex to get home... he needed to get everything he had spoken to Michelle out of his system... he had spent a while living every day in complete guilt, and it didn't help that he had to work closely with Alex every day... he kept like he had betrayed his boss and didn't want to leave any room for misunderstandings..."Patrick... you should have called me. how long have you been here? " Alex said when he saw his P.A. and secretary sitting in his living room looking anxious like something had happened... "Is something the matter. let's talk in my study, " He said, and Patrick nodded and followed Alex to his study... the whole time his heart was racing in guilty..."Now, you can start talking." Alex took a seat and looked at patrick, who
