LAURA'S POV.I wasn't sure what it was, but I knew I sensed tension between both brothers or cousins; I wasn't sure how to describe them.“You look surprised,” Ricky asked, adding to the statement,I stared blankly at him; I couldld see i there were no lies in his words; I didn't expect him to have gone to jail, and not twice to cap it all; fucking twice, how on earth was that even possible?.” I asked no one but myself as I averted my gaze back to my plate.But no matter how hard I tried, I still met their sister's terrible gaze. She had drawn the conclusion that I was a bad omen, and I wasn't interested in making her think otherwise.“I'm a little surprised; you don't look anything like a...” I trailed off at the ends of my words again, knowing Bianca would only try to prove a point at the ends of my words again. Although it did seem a whole lot better knowing at least I had a thing or two to fall back into, it was making more sense than I had even intended it to.“a criminal? Yes, I
laura'S POV.“fine then, it's quite simple, the truth to the whole thing, I'll tell your tonight but you must promise me, anything we say tonight, lies between you and I, I really don't want anyone else hearing about crap and standing up to me on the issue, chris had not been the type of boy to keep much of his childhood out he preferred when things are discreet.” Ricky explained and I nodded with a smile, being more attentive than I had ever been in most of my classes apart, I always knew something was off and the little talk Jeffereson had passed as well they all got me wondering what it was that was about the stone cold, obsessive and controlling boss of mine which I just could not figure out no matter what.“like I said, Bianca and chris, they weren't on best terms, matter of fact they never are, but Bianca grew to like chris we were all brother's and sister, but put the label on it, we were not blood related, just a bunch of paper works and the likes, never really occurred muc
Sebastian POV.I realized she had her eyes pinned on me all through the drive and even now we highlighted from the car she still had lots going through her head,“stop looking at me that way, it makes me uncomfortable.” I admitted to her, although I sounded gruff but I knew she wanted things professional, and I needed to keep them that way for as long as she wanted.“I'm worried, I didn't mean to stare, it's just that..” she trailed off at the end of her words, still staring at me, and then a smile curved up on her lips sending an uneasy feeling down to the pit of my belly.“Just what have you been sharing with ricky? What the hell had the both of you been up discussing all along?.” I ask again, trying hard to keep my sense intact and my lips sealed.“nothing, just they… are we off work hours now?.” she asked hastily, batting her eyes at me.“It's nine minutes past eleven Laura , yes we are off work hours.” I respond to her words with a little bit of teasing.“Thank goodness.” she mu
Laura'S POV.I woke up rather early with a bright smile, the whole activities today, meetings all short. I planned out my schedule perfectly well, although it had taken a while for Matt to respond to his mails but he helped me through them and made things even easier for me.“Good morning miss Laura, you seem to be doing good today.” Sebastain greeted me with a smile as I walked on behind him. I had matched the jacket we bought along with the heel and bag to the new leather high waist pants and a crop single to match.“What's for breakfast?” he asked and I fiddled a little. He was right. I had been way too busy adding up a few things they didn't matter to have actually thought for a brief moment of what he was to eat.“I'm sorry, I didn't quite think of that… we could drop but… I'll get you a sandwich or something, I'll place an order.” I responded, breaking off at most ends of my words while he glanced slowly in my direction.“I'm sorry, I swear, I planned everything out, I woke up
sebastian POV.“Is this meant to be some sort of joke?.” she asked, drawing a loud ain't glancing down in my direction.“Are you coming or not?.” I asked before sticking to my feet, not bothering to spare her a single glance, I was way more determined than anything else not to be bothered by whatever show it was that she had her mind all cooped up in.“Are we off working hours?.” she asked again, I didn't give a response while I tucked in the seat belt.“Can you for once have your lips sealed, all you've done today is a high amount of nothingness, so just relax and enjoy the view, just think of this as a means of me paying back for everything it is that you have done yesterday” I added in faintly, the fear and anxiousness in me piling up at intervals, I shook slowly, biting down on my lips seeing the unsettling look on her face.She pressed her lips into a thin line and I could just sense how much it was that she had gotten hurt by my words.“I'm sorry,” she whispered beneath her brea
Sebastian’s POV. She was way too much of a beauty; I could barely contain the insane excitement I felt when staring at her, but I knew much better than making a fool of myself so easily. I swallowed hard not to match my gaze with her, afraid that I might run us into more trouble. I needed to be focused on the plan, and he took the bait, just as I had expected. I had a dinner planned out for us all day. I spent way too much energy and invested every bit of time and attention I could to make everything perfect, but I knew things weren't going to end well. Matt had explained to me that he had made a reservation there as well; I didn't need to think much about the whole situation anymore. All I needed to do was play pretend. I already knew it had her cheating boyfriend and her lying, a backstabbing friend playing out on a lovely date. At first, I had been pissed off hearing those words from Matt. I almost acted on impulse, just how low her boyfriend was willing to go; he wasn't bothe
Laura’s POV.I knew we were rich, but a lot I had not seen coming, these were an actual huge turn up in my life, no one had ever treated me so nice or gotten me actual gifts.I knew I promised myself not to get winded up in my emotions. I needed myself to be loyal to Harry, but there was the man who stood before me; he knew just the right way to have a lady swept over her feet. How was it even possible? He knew the right ways to act and the right moments to act.Maybe I complained about his unnecessary protections, maybe I voiced out a thing or two about him being controlling, but deep within me, I knew my canal desires were satisfied with all of those; he was a fucking green flag.Here I was, not trying anything with him; I had a man, and he was lucky I loved him.Besides, it worked well for me as well; I had high morals; if not, I would have duck-jumped into bed with him that first night in the kitchen, but I dared not make a fool of myself; it would only render me weak, a little we
Laura’s POV. It dawned on me at once; my legs rooted to a spot. I swallowed hard while staring at both of them. “Let's go, Sebastian," I ordered bluntly, not minding my speech or manners; we could handle them later, but tonight I was sure, bitter and full of hate. “I think he should...” “I said let's go! Enough thinking!” I ordered once more, I watched them both, none of them daring to say a thing, they wanted to, but I couldn't care less, I wouldn't become a public stunt for newsmakers to use, I needed my dignity kept intact, my legs moved up the floors closer towards the garage, and I had fought every urge in me to speak. I couldn't anymore; it had been driving me crazy. I swallowed hard, taking in a deep breath, and I could handle it. I pulled at the handle of the car continuously, jerking it forward and then backward, cold chills ran down my skin,kicking at the doors furiously, it wasn't working. “Hey, calm down, Laura relax..'' Sebastian called out to me in a soothing vo
