Bob stared in silence at his wife for a long while with a delighted smirk on his angular face. Courtney didn't back down either as she glared with a frown on her face at Bob.

From Val's perspective, it only seemed like the couple were having a conversation with their gazes. Val just watched this without expressing much of her worry, despite what she was feeling inside.

" It's simple..." Bob broke his stare with his wife and turned to face Val as he spoke. " Miss Val here is a very talented asset, and I've gone the extra mile to convince her to put in her talent for our company"

' Miss Val?' Courtney creased her gaze.

" I want her to take the position of Managing director Parrish"

Courtney's previously calm expression instantly bittered after hearing Bob's words. She couldn't help but let her eyes widen in utter shock. She stared at Bob like he was crazy or something.

However, seeing his firm demeanor, She looked towards the so-called " Miss Val" with extreme prying intent in her gaz

    Maggie stood in front of the table with her gaze fixated on the ground and her whole body grew as tense as the room. "Strip!" Courtney ordered in a chill tone that resounded in an echo through the room, making Maggie shiver and shoot her gaze up towards the magnificent lady staring daggers at her from afar. Her heart crossed and her legs became weak just at the sight of the gaze she gave her. Maggie quivered again as she suffered from a blazing cold. This cold wasn't due to the surrounding temperature nor the air conditioner in the room, this was due to the cold gaze that latched unto her from across the table, as over there sat a person that gave her the cold chills. It was like a predator peering a gaze at its prey.Seeing how the CEO creased her gaze, Maggie quickly started to unbutton her cloth. Piece by piece, layer by layer, until she was left only in her black brassiere and lingerie, with her long sexy legs in pantyhose in view. She slowly reached to unbuckle her bra, and let

  • HER STRANGE ENCOUNTER WITH A BILLIONAIRE    The introduction

    Monday, following week..." Mark, do you happen to know who the new managing director is?" Asked a brunette lady dressed in a black sleeveless buttoned blazer gown worn over a white shirt, portraying her vase-like curves as she leaned over the long table which the marketing team was seated. With the crease in her almond shaped eyes, one could tell that she was curious to know who the new managing director was. And who better to ask than the assistant manager?Everyone else in the room anticipated the answer of the young looking middle-aged man reclining in his chair with his brown hair standing tall in a neat quiff style. His symmetric jawline was cordially outlined by his beard. It was exactly Mark Hawkins.Mark raised his gaze from his cell phone towards Kaitlyn, " I have no idea, Kate." He shrugged. Mark wasn't in the least worried about a change in who held the position of managing director. Odds are, he'd be named the new managing director. Who knows?Kaitlyn made a difficult fac

    Mark quivered as he paced about in his office after the introduction was over. He tried to understand just what was going on.He pondered just how Val had made it into Citadel's, that too becoming the managing director. The last time he checked, wasn't she a customer service assistant? Mark thought even himself, with all the experience he had, couldn't have gone from being a customer service assistant to a managing director within weeks. He knew there had to be a likely story behind it, and he sought to figure it out...Mark stopped on his pace and perched on the ergonomic desk of natural wooden preface. He tapped his index finger on his temple as he tried to recall a clue from his past interaction with Val. He knew she majored Corporate communications in college. Without doubt, it wasn't even about qualifications. ' What then..?'He rummaged in his memory of years spent together with Val, only to end up clueless. That only meant one thing...' Something must have happened after we

    Val was still getting acquainted with her new office when she heard a knock on the door to her office. She turned her gaze from the files she was looking into, towards the door and awaited to see who it was as the door knob turned. Her expression grew blank when Mark walked in her office and Val visibly scoffed. Mark saw this but just stood by the door after closing it behind him. He stared at the tip of his shoes for a long while, unsure of what to do or say. He wouldn’t say he had ever dreamed to be in this situation in any of his worst nightmares. There was nothing he could say nor do to right his wrongs. He only had the decency to not look Val in the face.Yes, He’d done really wrong to Val, and as such he should be happy that she’s at least doing well in life. However, if he was being realistic he hated whatever this was. “ Honey-“ “ Don’t even dare!” Val raised a finger to warn. “ Don’t even think about it” Val stated word for word in a trembling tone, obviously seething wit

    " Haa!"Valerie erupted in exasperation after thirty minutes of trying to understand the charts and reports in the files scattered about her work desk. The thought of Mark and the conversation he had with him was completely erased from her mind, though the bittersweet feeling still remained...Of course, She used to love mark. And though it wasn't like she loved him anymore, the feeling of commitment she had for him still remained, and it was hard to get it out of her heart. Nevertheless, it's only a phase.Val's head swirled as harmful whispers of words she was familiar with, but had different meanings within business context, echoed in her mind.'Sales per capita... Growth marketing... churn rate...'She thought the last one might be exactly what she'd use to describe the speed at which her head spun and how nauseous she was at the moment. Val was quite acquainted with sales per capita as a business term to an extent, but churn rate? flywheel? she could only denote them in literal s

    Mark stormed into his office with a loud slam of the door." How was it?" Kaitlyn hurried to ask but seeing the look on Mark's face, she became silent. She had suggested that he write a letter to Val to at least save them faces in the company... and make a pact with Val. Kaitlyn knew that Mark had done really bad to Val. And she shared a responsible part of the blame as well. After all, Kaitlyn was Mark's side piece when he was still with Val. But since Val was moving on, she should be able to make peace with them right?Kaitlyn hadn't given a thought to whether she'd have taken Mark's apology if it were to be her on the other side of the story in place of Val.Mark clearly hasn't given a thought to it either!" Tsk! your idea was not the best in any way!" He retorted and pointed. " Now I don't know what that wench could do. I could literally get sacked!" Mark paced about." She seems in cohort with Ms Courtney and her husband, the owner..." He stated with his face flushed red from a

    Ding!Val had just ordered pepperoni not longer than 12 minutes when she heard the doorbell ring. She had just taken a bath and was applying her skin care. Her figure stood in a white bathrobe and towel wrapped about her head in the bathroom." That's fast..." She wasn't expecting the delivery until in another 15 to 20 minutes. Not that Val had a problem with how fast this was, not at all. She even thought that perhaps it was a new feature.' Fast delivery finally being put in practice...'Val put down the cosmetics, checked herself one last time in the vanity mirror before leaving the bathroom to get the door." That was quite fa-" However, Val froze on her speech when she saw who it was and just stared in a daze at his figure with her mouth agape." Hahaha! You must really not have been expecting me" Bob chuckled sweetly as he stood by the door in casual clothing. Contrary to his words, his sweet scent brought Val out of her daze as it struck a memory.

    As the car approached the grand entrance of the mansion, Val noticed the impressive wrought-iron gates slowly opening, welcoming them inside in a warm usher.

The sight of the sprawling estate, with its classy modern architecture and pristine surroundings left Val in awe. The driver rode slowly and rode them closer, allowing Val to catch glimpses of the luxurious features like the grand entrance of the mansion with its ornate columns as well as the elegant fountain in the courtyard. It was truly a breathtaking sight to behold." Marvelous " Val mouthed, having only seen places like this online or in movies." Heh Heh," Bob chuckled at Val's innocence. He was amused at her praise for his place." You can take your time to look around later but first we must talk," Bob said as he stepped out of the car and went around to open the door for Val."

    Bob was baffled as to why she would leave all of a sudden. Could it be that she realized he knew her secret and was too embarrassed to face him?" Did you tell her anything after I left Doctor Brown?" Bob asked still frowning, he didn't like the sound of this at all." Not much. She'd asked of you first when she came to, and I told her you left. And yeah, I gave her the credit card you asked me to hand her" The doctor recounted briefly with a confused face, he still didn't understand why that has anything to do with the problem at hand.Bob's eyes widened as he realized the problem from the doctor's story. " Which way did you see her go?" Bob asked alarmingly looking at every personnel present. " I- I saw her go down the road that way just now" The receptionist who was receiving most of the blame pointed." Okay!" Bob nodded and hurried out of the hospital, about to go in search of Val.After Doctor Brown had informed him of what he said to Val, Bob could tell what had happened. Val

    Three days had passed since Val had woken up in the hospital, and Val was still lying on the bed in her light green hospital gown. It was just past 11 in the morning, close to noon, and she was staring at the ceiling with a pensive look on her face as her thoughts clouded her mind.Despite having been in the hospital for a few days, Val had not been able to sleep well. The pain and trauma she had experienced were still fresh in her mind, and she couldn't seem to shake them off.She couldn't stop thinking about Bob's sudden disappearance. Even though she didn't expect anything from him, she wished he had stayed to listen to her. Val had asked the doctor when she would be discharged and was told it would be today. She impatiently checked the clock again, eager to leave the hospital. Her body, which had previously been weak, had now regained enough strength to move around freely.Her thoughts roamed to the other matter that she hadn't been able to get off of her mind recently after havin

    Mark laid atop Maggie on the bed with a pallid expression worn on his face. He heaved and hoed incessantly as though he'd just climbed a mountain. Of course, what he climbed was more than a mountain. Both Mark and Maggie breathed haggardly and heavily after having rolled in the hay. They had both just indulged in a very intimate relation that could only be described as passionate yet full of pent up frustration and lust. Maggie, who was half naked in only her cum-stained undies shifted and hanging in places other than that which they were supposed to be covering, had her head kicked back and her eyes rolled back in ecstasy. She spasmed in place at intervals as her body squirmed in collision with Mark's rigid and firm figure uncontrollably.Even after the passionate session they'd both just had, Maggie's body was still full of lust and wished that it never ended. However, Maggie had reached her limit. The pleasure was too much to bare for her and her whole body had become sore and nu

    Getting to the hotel room that he'd reserved, Mark ushered Maggie in and made certain that she settled in comfortably first.The room felt like a cozy sanctuary away from the cold and damp air outside. It was spacious with a comfortable king-sized bed adorned with fluffy pillows and crisp sheets taking up most of the space. The walls and interior decor were of stylish modern design which were of tasteful and soothing color. Behind the furled curtain was a glass window that offered a stunning view of the city below. It seemed a perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a peaceful stay." I'll get the attendants to bring us something. In the meantime, make yourself comfortable" He said and moved to the desk in the corner where a landline was to call for the attendant's service.Maggie nodded her head and just lowered her head in thought. The hotel room was nice but it wasn't above Maggie's taste. She was used to luxury and class. Soon Mark returned to her side and asked again." You ok

He was a bit unsure if this was not another of Courtney's provocation. There was no telling what that evil vermin could do." Long story" Val answered with a sense of melancholy and a lowered head. She wasn't in the right state to talk about what had happened at the moment." But look! you need to find an attorney or something. Or! Or! we could convince the judge that attorney Chris was arrested in the last minute before the trial and have him adjourn the case again till you find another attorney to represent you.
