Jasper swallowed nervously, feeling as small as an ant as Amara stared down at him.“Go on,” She urged, folding her hand across her chest and looking expectant. “I’m listening.”“I…” He began, but the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.What happened to the man that was confidently speaking a few seconds ago? He questioned himself, wanting to open his mouth and speak the truth. And what exactly was the truth? The fact that he, amongst all the executives deserved the position of branch manager more than Amara ever did.He had been with the company longer, knew more people, and had a wider network of contacts and influence. He had even made more investment and worked his ass off more than anyone.How was a newcomer like Amara qualified for the role? She wasn’t. She had not experienced the hardships he had. Hadn’t faced the struggles he had, nor did she have the determination, the commitment, the skills and experience he had.So why the hell did she get the role he has alway
Side girl? Amara repeated in her mind, her eyes narrowing.Bethany, however, looked a bit taken back. She glanced at Amara in a totally new light."Ms. Miller, I seem to have misjudged you."Amara's eyes twitched when hearing how formally Bethany had addressed her. She briefly glanced at Jasper and caught him smirking.That bastard."You did?" Amara said, not bothered by Bethany's reaction at all. "And how did you Misjudge me?""You're the president's special one, aren't you?"Amara chuckled. "No, not at all.""But Jasper-""Mr. Reynolds is simply saying what he has heard in rumors.""So you're not the president's special one." Bethany confirmed."Of course not," Amara stated. "Society nowadays tries hard to slander divorcee, thus, I don't have time to engage in such activities.""Divorcee?" Bethany repeated, a bit surprised.Amara nodded. "Yes, divorced. I recently underwent a divorce with my husband."Bethany's eyes saddened, feeling sympathy for the woman in front of her. She had n
As Amara expected, a few days went by without any call or form of communication from Bethany. At first, she thought it was because she wasn’t making any initiative to contact Gemini, but after a few days, several more rejected gift and proposals, Amara realized that her assumptions were correct.So, on the third day, she decided to meet Bethany face to face and have a chat.She had chosen to come to the golf course where Bethany visited on her less busy days.Unlike her usual dressing, Amara had chosen to wear casual, but formal clothing. A white long sleeved dress shirt with a black vest over it and black trousers, along with a pair of black leather shoes. Her hair was styled in a ponytail and she had worn no makeup.The moment she entered the course, the receptionist quickly spotted her and smiled.“Hello, do you have a reservation?”“Yes, it’s under the name Amara Miller.”The receptionist quickly checked and nodded. “You’re free to go in.”Amara thanked the receptionist and walked
As soon as Bethany left, Amara walked over to the reception to pay the bill.Tobias followed after her."I can handle my bill." He said, reaching into his pocket.Amara looked over her shoulder and sneered. "I'm not paying it for you. It's Bethany's bill, not yours." Saying this, she reached into her pocket and pulled out her card.Tobias recognized it as the same black card he had seen her receive that day back at the club. He tried seeing the initials printed on it, but the receptionist's hand had covered the card before he could.He didn't say anything, instead he reached into his pocket and picked out the extra invitation card he had in his pocket."Since you're so insistent on paying the bill, here, take this."Amara didn't receive the card. She examined it in his waiting hand."What's this?""An invitation to Madam Sinclair's upcoming birthday anniversary. It's the least I can do for a woman like you after you paid the bill." Tobias looked indifferent as he said this."Firstly,
With a few more hours spent comforting Bethany and promising her that Her scumbag husband, Jason, was going to get what he deserved, Amara returned home.However, the moment she opened the door and walked in, she was surprised to see Melanie on the couch, sucking face with some unknown guy.“Oh God,” She quickly covered her eyes and turned away, thankfully, gaining the attention of the two on the couch.“Mara, you’re back? What happened to golfing?” Melanie asked as she shoved her partner away, much to his displeasure.“I uh… Finished early and…did I…interrupt something? I can leave if I-““No, not at all,” Melanie shoved the man once again, this time around it was off the chair and onto his foot. “We were just about wrapping up.” She turned to her partner and shooed him off. “You can leave.”The guy looked reluctantly. “But Mel,” He tried protesting.“I said you can leave, can’t you see my friend is here. Now, leave.”Hearing the sharpness in her tone, the man knew better than to sta
Seeing the desperate look in Melanie's eyes, Amara, who was very much aware of her family situation and how precious their friendship was to the brunette, happily opened her arms, beckoning her in for a hug, which Melanie gladly accepted."Please don't think like that, Melanie," Amara cooed, moving her hand in soothing circles against Melanie's back. "It's alright if you can't trust anyone with your heart right now. You don't need to force yourself to love, being just you is okay."Melanie didn't say anything to this and Amara didn't push the subject any further. A few more minutes were dedicated to hugging things out before they both pulled back."And besides," Amara began as she walked towards the couch and Melanie followed her like a lost puppy, sitting beside her. "You are aware that I have to move out at some point, yes? It's...something I need to face in life, not always depending on others."Melanie looked a bit reluctant, but nonetheless, she nodded. "Alright. If you need help
It had been years since Amara tried a toy like this. In fact, the last time she remembered trying anything sexual was way before she married Tobias, back when she was still a teenager.Needless to say, the memory wasn’t all that great.But now, as she lay in bed, her eyes fixed on the toy in her hand, Amara felt a little adventurous.After all, what’s the harm in trying something new?The thought of giving the toy a try had been on her mind since the moment she left the bathroom. However, it had only been after a few more minutes of staring at the toy in her hand that she decided that she should try it.Relaxing her entire body, and preparing mentally, Amara turned on the toy. She bit her lip in sudden excitement, staring at the object and the vibrations it made.Taking a deep breath, she brought the toy closer to her lower region and rubbed it against her clitoris, gasping a little when she felt the vibrations.It felt…good.A little too good, perhaps and truthfully, she couldn’t rem
The following morning, after waking up and taking a quick shower, Amara decided to head downstairs and check if the person responsible for her late night predicament was home.And as luck would have it, Melanie was downstairs, watching TV while munching on a slice of crusty toast bread. She looked up from the meal at the sound of her friend approaching.“Morning.” She greeted happily, smiling from ear to ear as if she knew something Amara didn’t.“And what’s got you happy so early in the morning?” Amara casted a suspicious gaze at Melanie as she walked over to the kitchen and began brewing coffee, setting two slice of bread into the toaster on the side.Melanie’s grin widened and her eyes glinted. “So,” She began, a mischievous smile adorning her lips. “Tell me, did the toy help?”At the mention of the toy, Amara nearly dropped the mug in her hands.Melanie took in her reaction before she sprang up from the chair and rushed at her. “It worked, didn’t it? You don’t even need to answer,
