2024-10-29 19:42:56"Sir, what about your son? Why can't he be the successor of this company?" Beatrice asked as she followed Mr. Fin into his office while she tried to keep the tune of her voice in check, she didn't want her old boss to notice how fucking annoyed she was at the event of today.
'Fuck! Why didn't I see this coming?' She thought to herself as Mr. Fin arranged his table before settling in his swiveled seat.
The old bald man let out a sigh as he clasped his hands together before fixing his dark eyes on Beatrice.
Beatrice stared at her old boss contemplating what he was about to say as she walked to the side of the table.
"He turned down my appeal to be the next successor of this company," Mr. Fin spoke softly with a tinge of sadness lacing up his wrinkled face.
"What?!" Beatrice burst more loudly than expected as Mr. Fin stared at her in dismay.
"I mean why? Wh-Why does he have to turn down something so valuable?" Beatrice asked cautioning herself while she felt so angry towards Mr. Fin's son without knowing the reason yet as Mr. Fin sighed and stood up from his seat. He walked over to where the black shelf was placed in his office and picked up a bottle of wine and a glass cup and walked back to his table.
***
Beatrice got into her office and kicked her table annoyingly.
She just returned from her old boss's office after having a brief talk with him and Mr. Fin letting her know why his son couldn't take up the position as the New CEO of the company.
"Ouch!" She cried out removing her left foot from her heels as she raised her leg and massaged her hurt toes with her hands.
'Only if Mr. Fin's son wasn't his only son and wasn't a doctor, all this wouldn't be happening,' She thought.
She hopped on one leg to her seat and sat down while massaging her left toes which were beet red resulting in her kicking her feet at the table.
"Fuck!" She groaned with a loud hiss.
"Why the hell does he have to come here?" She cried swiveling her seat around turning her back to the table as she felt so disturbed and uneasy.
"Why? Why Ben? Why do you have to show up in my life again?" She asked herself continuously as she kicked her feet in the air aimlessly.
She stared at the transparent view the glass wall showed her of the outside world as she thought about how she was going to put up with Ben, especially when she'll be working by his side.
She needed to know a few things about his current life, funnily, she hadn't bothered knowing about the lifestyle he lived or where he worked, or how wealthy he was.
She turned round to her table and switched on her Apple MacBook as she typed on her keyboard immediately after clicking on 'Mozilla Firefox'
"Hmmm! Let's see what he got," She muttered lowly to herself as her gaze got fixed on the screen while she tapped her finger steadily on her chin.
A little gasp escaped her lips when his page came up.
"Wow!" She didn't know when that surprising word left her lips as she scrolled down the page eagerly.
He had so many companies and firms and the biggest of all was this ClAK limited that deals with oil and gas. Mining and fracking.
Also, he had another company that was into gaming.
"Hmm!!" Beatrice nodded still scrolling down her ex's page till her eyes bulged out weirdly.
"$600billion Networth!" She exclaimed before she clasped her hands over her mouth as she gazed around forgetting she was in her office.
Why did she scream that loud?
She wasn't expecting his net worth to reach that amount, no wonder he could buy up the entire company with pride.
'Does he have a girlfriend?' She asked herself as she quickly typed in the search box.
'But judging with the way he kissed her in the elevator, she guesses he doesn't have one,' She thought as her fingers unknowingly touch her lips.
She could bet she felt some sparks in her when he forcefully kissed her and in between her thigh going all tingling.
'Beatrice! Come on!!' Her mind groaned as she snapped out of her fuzzy state.
"Why am I even bothered?" She tsked after pressing the 'Enter' button.
The page came up quickly and Beatrice found herself leaning closer on her table as she stared curiously at her MacBook, her eyes peering over the screen, a part of her praying he had a girlfriend and another part hoping he wouldn't.
'Ben Clarke, CEO of CLAK limited known to be one of the hottest and youngest Bachelors in New York.' She read on the screen and became confused why she felt a relief rush through her.
"Yuck! Why am I reading about that jerk? I have nothing to do with him again, everything is in the past," She told herself calmly while breathing out as she closed her MacBook and stood up from her seat as she walked over to the glass showing the outer view.
She hadn't gone that long when the company's telephone rang as she hurriedly walked back to her table and picked up the call.
"Hello!"

"Home sweet home at last!" Beatrice said as she used her left leg to kick the door closed while it made a beep sound that it was locked.
She kicked off the heels from her feet she was wearing on the floor and didn't care how littered it was on the floor, she would come to pick them up later while she stepped into the fluffy slippers laid on the welcome rug.
Her little dog barked as it happily came to greet her as Beatrice hurriedly walked into the kitchen to drop off the little grocery she bought that will sustain her for a week before she goes on a large grocery shopping that will last her for an entire month or more than.
"Hey, Cody!" She greeted her little dog with a smile as it wagged its tail while sticking its tongue at her.
Beatrice picked it up from the floor with a chuckle as she ran her fingers through its fur.
"Hope you've been a good boy and kept the house well?" She cooed at her little dog answered her with a slight bark and nuzzled closer in her arms.
She carried it into her room as she laid it gently on her bed but it made an annoying groan not wanting her to go.
"Mama had an annoying time at work and you wouldn't believe if I say my ex would be my boss in a twinkle of an eye," She told her little dog as she patted its back lightly while it relaxed on her bed with a slight sound leaving its mouth as he gave her puppy eyes, responding it felt her pains.
"Crazy right? But right now, I need a fucking hot bath," she said throwing her jacket on her queen-sized bed as she turned and made her way to the bathroom leaving her dog on the bed as it stared at her flitting figure while it barked.

"Hmmm! Stop!!" Beatrice whined with a slight groan straining her voice in her sleep as she tried to stop her little dog from licking her face."Cody! Come on!" She groaned annoyingly as her dog kept on disturbing her from her precious sleep but on the other hand, little Cody was trying to save her ass.Beatrice forcefully opened her eyes and grabbed Cody as she turned on her side, cuddling her pet dog while she ran her fingers through its soft fur sleepily."Be a good boy and let mama sleep!" She murmured with a sleepy smile on her face but Cody was adamant as it began to bark and scratched her arm with its claws."Oh! Jeeez! What now?"

For the first time in Beatrice's life, she thought everything happening around her came to a sudden pause and the world came to an end."Are you just going to stand there?" Ben's voice came out with a slight tinge of mock in it as Beatrice swallowed the heavy lump that was desperate in choking her.If only the grounds would split and open up, she'd gladly throw herself in it to avoid this catastrophic moment she found herself in.She wasn't expecting he would occupy this seat so soon, or let's say it totally slipped her mind that the company where she was working was bought entirely by her weird ex.'Fuck!

"Too bland!" Ben said dropping the cup of coffee cruelly on the table as some of the content of the coffee spilled on the table while Beatrice's eyes widened with hate and aggression.Vanessa marched forward with a napkin in her hands cleaning the table as she smirked at Beatrice, then moved back to her spot, she seemed to be enjoying her agony just like Ben.'This is humiliation!' She thought frankly as she boiled with anger and any god-damned thing this bastard says again she would lose her entire cool.She doesn't want to know if he was her boss or not, he couldn't keep on frustrating her this way."Another one," He requested more like a command from her with no emotions on his face."What!?"

It was another crazy day for Beatrice as she knocked on the door then turned the knob and walked in with a cup of coffee and a resignation letter in her hands.She was leaving this damn job immediately. Her eyes glanced at Vanessa who was busy scribbling something on a notepad.'The devil's schedule for today,' Beatrice's thought with a scoff.She didn't even know her job any longer except to be making stupid coffees for this insane being sitting proudly on his chair as he stared at the computer screen positioned by the side of the desk.No one noticed her or maybe they decided not to since they knew she would be bringing coffee by 7 in the morning."Here's your coffee," Beatrice notified dropping the cup of coffee on the table as Ben shifted his gaze from the screen of the computer to hers.Beatrice felt a chill run down her spine but she decided to terminat

"Hello, mum!" Beatrice said exhaustingly as she slumped on her black leather seat and stared at the big smart TV in front of her.She just returned from the gym room."Beatrice! My one and only child... My sweetheart," Beatrice's mum chirped as Beatrice rolled her eyes. She doesn't need to be reminded of being the only child of her parents.It's been a long time she had a conversation with her parents always claiming she was busy here and there, but right now, she needs their help, especially her Dad's."I need to speak with Dad," Beatrice deadpanned as she got straight to the point of calling her mum.She just resigned from her work and so be it but right now she needed to speak with her father to lend her some amount of money to start her fashion firm, which had been her dream ever since she was in university."Uhm!" Her mum said lowly, her happy tune getti

It was Friday and Beatrice stood in front of Ben's office door contemplating whether to knock or not.'I can still turn back if I want,' She thought frankly almost crying at her misfortune.Aish! She was so stupid for dropping that resignation letter in the first place, she should have heard the bomb news her mum dropped first or got herself another job before acting as a fierce nursing cat.Now, she would look so doltish and vulnerable in front of that devil's eyes while he gives her a satisfied mocking smirk.She could just imagine how the smugness on his face will escalate when he lays his eyes on her.Checking out her designer black skirt that reached above her knees a bit and the black Zara heels she was wearing, she let out an exasperated sigh.'I guess I have to squash and let my pride down, I need money, especially this period dad's not fine, and what

"Oh yeah! You feel this place?" Mia asked loudly as she rocked her body to the blaring music played in the exotic club amongst some dudes on the dance floor."Yes, I do!" Beatrice screamed at the top of her voice for Mia to hear as she swayed her hips to the rhythm of the music.It was Saturday night and Mia had forced her to come to the party Beatrice gave it some thought maybe it would relieve her of the emotional stress she was going through.Having some fun shouldn't be that bad, she thought.They didn't go to the regular club they use to go to when Mia suggested a new club she found in town and they decided to try it out.Beatrice was putting on a blue body con dress which was sleeveless showing off her perfect curves, the length of the dress was short but okay enough to cover her butt and reached her middle thighs with matching blue killer heels.Her lo

BEN'S POV."Fuck you! I learned karate, don't fucking come near me," Ben heard Beatrice drop venomously in the restroom as he tried to keep track of the guy following behind her when he felt something off about him.He wasn't expecting to see her so damn sexy in the club, so he kept on watching her discreetly and when she glanced back and took notice of him as she gazed at him, he felt the uneasiness in her face and he hated that although he had sworn to take his revenge on her for what she did to him sometimes he doesn't want her all that terrified of him.Without thinking twice, Ben barged into the restroom and gave the crazy guy a jaw-ripping blow as he fell flat on his face on the floor."Don't you fucking touch her, ever!" Ben seethed angrily at the guy and quickly glance up to see if Beatrice was okay but he was amused to see her in a position ready to fight.'So, she wasn'

"What would you like?" Chloe asked as she went through the menu and he shrugged."Nothing, I already drank my coffee today.""You should still eat something since I invited you here, cake?"He shrugged again, and the waiter took their order for a red velvet cake with a cup of latte."So how are you doing?"He raised an eyebrow, "you brought me out here to ask that?""I just want to know how you're doing. It wouldn't hurt to know.""As you may have already seen, I'm fine."She scoffed, "still as cocky as ever. Anyway, can you guess what is happening next week on Friday?""What?"She was pretty excited about whatever it was, and he thought about it, "Your birthday?"She nodded and smiled, "I didn't think you'd remember.""I didn't remember, I only guessed. Well, good for you.""Thank you. You're going to come to the party, right?"He shrugged again, "I'm a busy man, Chloe.""But not too busy to attend your betrothed's birthday surely...""I've told you not to mention that, Chloe.""But

The party was over and Beatrice could finally breathe. It had been crazy meeting Santiago like that, but she guessed she would have had to meet him sometime later.“See you tomorrow,” she said when they got to her apartment building and she got off. He didn't bother to tell her bye or act all cocky like he usually did, and that hurt her for some reason.He was probably still angry at the presence of Mr. Santiago, but there was nothing she could do about that. She turned around to go in, and she pressed her door code when she got to her apartment.“Ah, you scared me!!” She uttered the moment she saw Mia in her house and Mia stared back at her startled too.“Did you then have to shout like that?”“Why not? An intruder came into my house.”“What is all this, by the way?” She pointed to the bags, and Beatrice tried to avoid the conversation.“Did you cook anything?”“Hmm, hmm, no, no, no, you aren't escaping this,” she was in her pajamas, which told Beatrice she was going to be staying ov

The hotel front was filled with paparazzi, and it was no surprise considering how huge and popular the family was. They had the largest number of properties in New York and had their hands in almost every industry there was.“Ben you came,” his mum said enthusiastically when they entered, and she hugged him almost immediately. His dad wasn't so smiley, though, and he just nodded to Ben.“Uhm… You brought your secretary?”“Yes, I thought it'd be fun.”“Mrs. Clarke, Mr. Clarke, congratulations on your wedding anniversary,” they all turned around as a petite but beautiful lady walked up to their table, and she had on the sexiest dress that Beatrice had ever seen. It made her inferior in some way.“Chloe, you came…" Ben's mum purred at the sight of her.“Of course, I wouldn't miss your anniversary for anything.”“Ben, you remember Chloe, right?”He turned to the lady, smiling half-heartedly, and Beatrice could tell that he wasn't having this whole gathering.“Of course, hello, Chloe.”“It

“What are you doing here?” Beatrice asked, clearly angry that he was there, but Ben was just glad that she had opened the door.“Making sure that you're getting ready,” he answered indifferently.“I'm not going if you didn't get that from our latest conversation.”He walked past her into her apartment, gently brushing her shoulder, and stared at all the bags he had sent her way.“What the fuck, Ben? You know what? It's even great because you can take all of your property from my apartment.”“They're all yours, if you didn't get that from our latest conversation too.” Ben turned to face her, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.She couldn't believe that he was still being cocky after making her go through that hell.“Just get out then, I'll make sure to send them to the trash if you don't want them.” Beatrice fumed.“Beatrice!” He stopped her in her tracks when she tried to walk past him to her room or something.“What is it now?”She was backed up against the wall with hi

Ben walked into his house that evening, loosening up his tie, which was suffocating at that point, and he collapsed onto the bed in his room. He had let Beatrice go cause well, he had started to get swayed by her seduction, and he had seen her face change by his suggestion. He wondered what she was going to choose; date him or be his maid?It was even crazy because he hadn't thought of the options before meeting her, maybe the latter, but it had come out spontaneously while talking to her. He sighed and stood up to pick up his phone when it rang,“Hello,”“Ben dearest, how are you doing?” It was his mom.“Good and you, mum?”“Splendid. I hope you haven't forgotten about our anniversary party coming up tomorrow?”Wait, what? That was true. Fuck, how did he forget?“You didn't forget, did you?”“What? Uhm, no, of course not, I was even thinking of what to get you guys.”“Oh, you don't have to get us anything, just bring yourself and prepare to party all night.”He smiled without realizi

“Your maid?” Beatrice asked in disbelief as Ben gave her a cocky look.“I want to believe this is a joke,” Beatrice laughed while rolling her eyes and placed her both hands on her waist, she snapped her gaze back to Ben and realized he was being serious with that look he was giving her.Ben has got to be kidding her, what does he mean by her being his maid?“You heard me right,” Ben cleared his throat and leaned back in his chair, a devious smirk playing on his lips.“I don't understand what you said just now!” Beatrice fired at him as she widened her eyes at him.“Your maid?”“Maid as in what?” Beatrice questioned him furiously, maybe if he explained what he fucking meant by being his maid, she will understand.Ben gave her an amused look and laughed, he stood up from his seat and straightened his suit while Beatrice glared at him. She watched him murderously as he approached her.Ben quirked a brow at her and stopped a few feet away from her and shoved his hands into the pocket of hi

“Are you okay?” Ben asked worriedly as he rushed over to Beatrice, who was trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to trickle down her face.'Why does he have to do it?'' Why did he have to come to my aid when I didn't need it? He would be the last person I would ask help from?' Beatrice fumed, she was angry and sad at the same time.Angry that Ben went behind her back to do something he wasn't supposed to do, and sad that she didn't deserve such a gesture from him because of the way she had treated him.How did he know about this? Is he stalking her, or does he have a monitoring device on her?What is the exact reason he did such a thing to her?Ben straightened to his feet, taking Beatrice's phone which she dropped on the floor, and staring at her, he had expected that reaction from her, and he knew he had hurt her pride paying that money because he knows Beatrice too well.But, he had to do it if he wants his plans to work.“Your phone,” Ben said, stretching his hand

Beatrice got to the office very early in the morning, she has some work to do before she asks Ben for permission to meet a new realtor, Lady Zara told her about.“It's 7:30,” She muttered as she glanced at her wristwatch and then stared at Ben's empty seat, she has been in the office for some minutes to seven in the morning.'Is he not coming to work?' Beatrice thought when Ben hadn't come into the office, she sighed and stood up, telling herself not to bother since it wasn't too late for him to come to work, after all, he's the boss, and she is the one who came very early to work.'Let me make his coffee before he comes,' She told herself and stood up from her seat, she arranged the files on her table neatly and proceeded to walk out of the office.The elevator tinged as soon as she got to the second floor and the elevator door opened, Beatrice inhaled sharply, flapping her long hair to the back, and began walking towards the coffee machine, her hips swayed and rocked slightly in the

Beatrice threw her hair into a messy bun as she walked into the kitchen, she sighed staring at how lovely the kitchen was, and right now, what she was thinking about is how to make her next move.With her current job as a secretary, she can't keep up with that amount of money to pay for house rent, and again her pride won't let her ask anyone for money to help except her parents, and she wants to avoid bothering them too.She plodded tiredly to the fridge in the kitchen and wanted to have a soda drink and got disappointed with herself when she opened the door of the fridge and couldn't find any drinks inside the fridge, just bottled water.'I need to make time and go to the grocery store,' She frowned inwardly, she had been telling herself that for like two weeks now without taking a step to the grocery store and now all her foodstuffs had completely gone dry.'I guess I will go for water instead,' She thought and grabbed a bottle of water, she opened the lid and gulped down the cold
