CHAPTER FIVE

Aww fuck!!

Why does it have to be him? They say the third time is never a coincidence.

Staring at me with deadly eyes is none other than the blue eyed man that I had sex with last week, the same man I ran away from that same night and the same fucking man I smashed his car today.

Is the universe against me or something?

“What are you doing here? Don't tell me you are the interviewer?” I ask, my eyes widen the size of a frying pan if not more.

I know I am exaggerating but still.

He leans back in his seat, a smirk curving in his lips as he drops an even bigger bomb, “I am not just the interviewer, I am the CEO of Leonardo Geal Technology.”

Ahh fuck, how I am even sure he is the CEO?

“Say my name, Leonardo”

His words from that night come back to haunt me. My eyes widen as I remember his name, Leonardo.

I stare at the golden pate tag on the table, it has Leonardo Geal written boldly on it.

There is no way he is going to hire me after running away from him that night and bashing his car today.

In just a span of two weeks I have cost this man over a throaty thousand dollars if not more.

“I know you won't hire me, so I will just be in my way now.” I grumble under my breath as my lips try to stretch into a small smile.

I turn around, about to leave when his voice stops me, “Aren't you here for an interview?” he asked.

Spinning around I stare at him wide eyed, is he really going to interview me?

“Incase you do not know, I am a businessman, and I don't mix business with pleasure or personal matters. You are here for an interview you will get one.” he states, pointing at the chair in front of him.

Should I really do it? If I had any sense I would know that I needed to leave here immediately.

I would know that he isn't just going to let me go just like that, and give me a job just because I am here.

But, at the same time I am in dire need of a job, and if I don't get this job I wouldn't be able to stop stripping.

I am still weighing my options when he barks at me, “I sincerely do not have all day. I am sure you have seen the number of ladies outside.”

I don't think about it any longer, I just move and plant my ass on the chair in front of him.

“So what makes you think you deserve the job of my PA?” he asks, making my eyes go the size of an egg.

“I saw the job vacancy for a secretary, not a PA.” I stumble over my words, suddenly feeling sweaty.

My neck cranes a bit at his words.

“So are you saying you aren’t ready for the job?” he scoffs, his tone very condescending like he knew I just couldn’t do it.

It hurts a little, but it also makes me very angry.

“ I am saying that a company this big should be competent enough to input the correct description of the vacancy available.” I growl, glaring at him.

“Oh well, one would think every applicant is to be ready for whatever questions that come their way. But it seems spending so much time at the club stripping has taken control of your brain. You have no idea what an interview is for.” he says with a straight face.

I have never felt so insulted in my entire life.

It was normal to be judged by people who didn't know me, which is basically everyone.

But someone who fucked me merely a week ago speaking to me in such manner really pierces my skin.

“Are we having the interview or not? I really do not have time to waste.” I say, smiling like he didn’t just imply that I was dumb because I am a stripper.

“Well, we can but I am not sure the company is interested in hiring a whore.” he grunts, eyes sweeping down my form.

I can boldly say I am the most decently dressed in this whole goddamn interview.

And I planned on quitting stripping if I get this job, but he doesn't need to know that.

Still smiling sweetly, I answered him, “And as you can see, I do not let my personal life interfere with my work life.”

Wanting to get under his skin I push further even though my next words may cost me this job, I still couldn't stop myself from saying it.

“Don't mix business with pleasure. It’s a common saying, you should try practicing it. I bet it would do wonders for you.”

His face falls, straightening his back and he narrows his eyes at me.

“If that is the case, why do you think you are suitable for the job of being my PA?” he asks, his fingers tracing his chin.

I tell him the only reason I can think of is, “Because you obviously need someone to baby you, and put you in line.” I snort.

Only realising what I have said after saying it. I am really tempted to slap myself, and run for the hills because he is definitely not going to hire a big mouth like me.

“Hmm, that’s a good reason.” he says, making my eyes go as wide as a sauce pan.

He taps on his laptop, scrolling through it as he takes his precious time.

His forearm flex whenever he taps a button, his sleeves are rolled up halfway revealing tones of muscles.

His fingers are long, and skillful as they move along the keyboard with so much expertise

Those same fingers that wrapped around my throat, those same fingers that—-

Fuck, fuck, what the hell am I doing?

I am here for an interview not to gawk at the man. This is the most I have thought about sex.

This is even the first time I have liked it.

“Well, your details are extremely interesting. You have some potential here.” he praises.

I know he is being professional, but it still feels nice to be complimented.

“Look I will give you the job right here, right now, “ he says, shutting his laptop before he stands, and heads towards his window.

I force the giddiness rising up in me because I can sense a but coming up in that sentence.

“But?” I press, hoping he doesn’t ask me to sleep with him.

Not that if it comes to it I won’t do it, but I don't want him to be among those men that take advantage of situations.

“But you have to quit stripping.” he finally turns, his blue eyes piercing into mine.

My jaw falls totally not expecting that. Of all things he wanted me to stop that, why?

He must have taken my silence for me not agreeing to use the next words had me throwing away the already trashed job.

“I will double your pay.” he adds.

My eyes widen even further, but I manage to nod my head.

He wants to pay me double to stop stripping? Hell, yes I am taking the job.

I was going to stop anyway so why not stop with extra cash.

Gaining my composure I taunt him before I finally agree, “Of course. Even though that goes against my ethics, I will accept it.” I say smiling, he narrows his eyes before nodding.

What stupid ethics? Who gives a fuck about ethics? I don't even know the meaning of that crap.

“Fine, you have the Job.” he finalises.

I shot out of my seat, happiness bursting through my being. Tears burn the back of my eyes as some stubbornly rolls down my face.

Before I can say any other words, the door bangs open, and a very angry looking lady marches in.

“How could you do this Leonardo!!!” she screams, her face goes seriously red. Leonardo rubs his forehead, eyes rolling back as he takes his seat.

“Who are you?” the words slip from my mouth before I can stop it.

She turns around, glaring at me hard. The next words that leaves her mouth knocks the air out of me.

“I am his fiancee, who the hell are you?” she barks, making my blood drain from my face.

Oh shit!!!!!

    Chapter 6LEONARDOI am a man who believes in a few words. I don't have the energy to say more than ten words, and still be interested in the conversation.Unless it's about business. I can't hold a single conservation without wanting to slam my head into a wall. Yes, I am that anti-social. Yet here I am, provoking her to speak so the interview can last a little longer. What happened to me? I have no idea, but I like our conversation a lot so I keep it going. I could see all of her expressions, every curve and dip of that luscious soft body. The same body I ravished, but not fully before she fled. Remembering how I felt when I walked into an empty room. My jaw tightens as I glare at her, she owes me. Just one taste of her wrapped around my cock, the feel of her lips like it was made just for me. Her soft skin, she is so fragile I could break her with the snap of my fingers. So innocent, but she really isn't else she won't be working as a whore.Despite that knowledge I want t

    Chapter 7OLIVIA'S povI stare at the man seated across from me. His words, so sharp, linger in the space between us, daring me to challenge him. But how can I? Leonardo exudes a confidence that borders on arrogance, and it leaves me flustered in ways I don't want to admit.Especially when he looks at me like that."What do you mean I owe you a night?" I snap, my voice sharper than intended, but it's the only way I know to mask the sudden warmth spreading across my cheeks.He leans back in his chair, his dark eyes gleaming with amusement. "Exactly what I said." His lips curl into a smirk that makes my stomach tighten and my temper flare simultaneously.I press my palms against the desk to steady myself. "I don't recall agreeing to anything.""Oh, but you did," he counters smoothly, tapping his temple with a long finger as though reminding me of a debt I'd forgotten.

A blessing because it was a step up from the life I was trying to leave behind, and a curse because he was always there. Watching. Talking. Testing me with every word that fell from his perfectly sculpted lips."You type like you're afraid the keyboard might explode," he said, his voice breaking the silence yet again.I looked up from my screen, my fingers pausing mid-stroke. "Excuse me?""Your fingers barely graze the keys," he continued, leaning back in his chair with an infuriating smirk. "Are you afraid of breaking something?""Some of us prefer precision over aggression," I shot back, my tone as cool as I could manage.He chuckled, the sound low and rumbling. "Precision has its merits. But sometimes, Olivia, a little force gets the job done faster."I tried not to let his words affect me, but my cheeks betrayed me, heating under his gaze. "I'll keep that in mind," I muttered, returning to my work.Mi

"Who's there" "You have a package ma'am" A delivery man stood there with a box wrapped in a pink ribbon when I opened the door. He gave me the box and asked me to sign which I did, then he left. I took a peek inside the box and saw a gorgeous black dress and pieces of jewelry. My eyes went to the note there, 'A Business Party, Dress to impress 'The sleek black car pulled to a stop in front of the hotel, a glittering venue. People in dazzling gowns and sharp suits milled around, their laughter and conversation blending with the flash of cameras. I stared out the window, already feeling out of place."Don't just sit there, Olivia," Leonardo said, his voice as smooth and commanding as ever. "We're already late."He didn't wait for my reply, stepping out of the car with the grace of a man who owned every room he walked into. I fumbled with my clutch, trying to compo

Even now, as I trailed behind him through the crowded ballroom, I felt like I was walking in a daze."You're unusually quiet," he said, glancing over his shoulder."I'm fine," I lied, plastering on a smile."Fine?" He stopped suddenly, turning to face me. His voice was low, his eyes sharp. "That's never true when a woman says it.""I'm serious, Leonardo," I insisted, forcing myself to hold his gaze.His lips quirked up in amusement. "If you say so."He didn't push further, but the intensity in his eyes lingered as he led us toward another group of important people. I fell into step beside him, tuning out the introductions and polite small talk. My focus was on keeping my composure, even as my thoughts swirled with confusion.Why had that dance affected me so much? And why did I feel like Leonardo knew exactly what he

    LEONARDOBy the time I pulled into the driveway, I was already exhausted. My mind drifted to Olivia earlier when I dropped her off. My mind went to her lips, they were plumping out as if they were begging me to claim them. Not to mention Olivia had been my only distraction today in the rooms filled with boring talks on how to get rich, though not in the way I'd hoped. She was captivating, her every movement pulling me in, but she was also infuriatingly aloof. The distance she kept between us had gnawed at my nerves all night.I killed the engine and stepped out of the car, my hand going to my tie to loosen it. That's when I saw her.Alicia Hayes.She stood at my door like a vulture circling its prey, her arms crossed and her expression sharp enough to cut glass."Leonardo," she called, her voice dripping with a mixture of disdain and desperation."What are you doing here?" I asked, my tone cold as I walked toward the door. Why can't women understand the fact that a man does not w

My knuckles tightened on the steering wheel as Alicia's words echoed in my head.The way She glared at me for a long moment before storming toward the door. "You'll regret this," her words, her voice full of venom.She smirked, flipping her hair over her shoulder as she walked out. "You'll come crawling back to me. They always do."I clenched my jaw, the threat simmering like poison in my veins. Alicia Hayes had always been manipulative, but this time, she'd gone too far. Still, it wasn't just her words that bothered me.It was Olivia.I couldn't stop thinking about her. The way her eyes sparkled when she laughed, the way she challenged me without fear.

His smirk, his voice, his presence-it all lingered like a dark cloud over me.Leonardo had dropped me off at my apartment after the gala, his mood tense but quiet. He didn't ask too many questions, only reminding me to call him if I needed anything. I was grateful for the space, but being alone didn't help. It gave my mind too much room to wander.Now, I sat at my tiny kitchen table, staring blankly at a cup of tea I hadn't touched. My phone buzzed on the counter, jolting me out of my thoughts. I reached for it, expecting a text from Leonardo or maybe Prisca from work.Unknown Number.I hesitated, my fingers hovering over the screen.

I tried to keep up with Leonardo's pace as he guided me through the crowd. His hand was on my lower back, a steadying presence I wasn't sure I wanted or needed."Relax," he said softly, leaning close.I didn't respond. My black dress felt too tight, and the heels were killing me. This wasn't my world. I wasn't used to being surrounded by so much wealth and power.Leonardo stopped to greet someone, introducing me as his assistant. I nodded politely, barely listening to the conversation. My mind was elsewhere, thinking about how Alicia's glare had burned into me the moment we walked in.Alicia was across the room, standing near a fountain of champagne.

This was far from my usual scene, but some things had to be done in the shadows, away from Leonardo's watchful eyes.I hated the stench of these backstreets. The grease from a nearby diner mingled with the sour odor of garbage, making my nose wrinkle in disgust. I pulled my fur-lined coat tighter around me and pushed open the café door, immediately hit by the stale aroma of cheap coffee and desperation.He was waiting for me in the corner, seated at a rickety table with a chipped coffee cup in front of him.

The sound echoed through the quiet of my penthouse, a herald of the chaos that always seemed to follow her."Leonardo!" she called, her voice as sharp and demanding as ever.I exhaled slowly, bracing myself as I stepped into the living room. There she stood, dressed to the nines in a sleek black dress that clung to her frame. Her red lips curled into a practiced smile, the kind she used when she wanted something."What are you doing here, Alicia?" I asked, keeping my voice as even as possible.She turned, brushing her hair over her shoulder as she walked toward me. "We need to talk," she said simply, as if she hadn't barged into my home uninvited."There's nothing to talk about," I said, crossing my arms."Oh, but there is." She settled herself on the couch, crossing her legs with the confidence of someone who thought they belonged here.I stayed w

My father would handle the logistics, yes, but this wasn't just about family arrangements anymore. This was personal.Leonardo had embarrassed me, belittled me in front of his entire office staff. Worse, he had stood by that insignificant, plain assistant like she was worth defending. The image of him shielding her from my words was burned into my memory, fueling the fire of my hatred for her.She thought she could replace me? As if someone like Olivia could ever compete with me. She didn't belong in our world. She didn't understand the rules we lived by. But I would teach her, oh, I would teach her.When I arrived at my penthouse apartment, I kicked off my heels and poured myself a glass of wine, the rich red liquid swirling like my thoughts. Sitting down on the sleek leather couch, I reached for my phone and opened my laptop."Let's see what we can dig up on you, Olivia," I m

My hands trembled in my lap, a testament to how much Alicia's words had rattled me."You're not a distraction," Leonardo had said.I wanted to believe him-God, I wanted to. But the way Alicia's voice still echoed in my head made it hard to focus on anything else.You'll never be anything more than temporary.I shook my head, trying to push her venomous words away, but they clung to me like smoke. She'd struck a nerve, and she knew it.Standing from the chair, I began pacing the office. It was a large, imposing space, filled with sleek furniture and polished surfaces, but it felt suffocating now. The weight of everything was too much-Alicia's accusations, Leonardo's confusing behavior, my own jumbled emotions.Why was I even here?I caught sight of my reflection in the floor-to-ceiling windows and almost didn't recognize myself. The professional attire, the neatly tied hair... it

The sight of Olivia standing there, her head lowered, her shoulders tense, made my chest tighten in a way that had nothing to do with anger and everything to do with protectiveness.Alicia turned, her expression a blend of feigned innocence and irritation as she met my glare. "What is it now, Leonardo?""You," I snarled, stalking toward her with quick strides. My voice echoed down the hallway, sharp and unyielding. "What did you say to her?"Her painted red lips curved into a smirk. "I was just giving your assistant some advice. Surely, there's no harm in that?"Olivia shifted behind me, and I caught the faintest tremor in her hands as she clutched the documents I'd asked her to deliver. She was trying to be strong, but Alicia had cut her deep-I could see it in her eyes.I turned my full attention back to
