Iris POVI gently sucked my bottom lips in anticipation, hoping my dreams would materialize and Arthur would crash his lips on mine, but he simply cleared his throat and looked away, I felt a just anger stir inside of me as we broke the connection.“There, all done. Hurry up, else we'll be late.” Arthur said and instantly went out of the room.I chuckled and slipped my legs into the pretty heels I wanted to wear, I exited the room and discovered Arthur had left the house, I hurried out in worry that he had left me behind, but I found him standing outside by the car. He held the car door for me.“Get in.” He ordered.I got into the car, and he got in after me, then the chauffeur closed the door behind us.“To the company.” Arthur ordered the driver.The driver ignited the car engine, and we took off, the ride was quiet all through as Arthur seemed to be busy with something on his phone. The driver pulled up at the front of the company and we alighted from the car.“I'd be in my office.
Arthur's POVI couldn't focus on what I was doing as my mind kept flashing back to Iris. I fought the urge to descend the stairs and get her, but I knew she was with Anna and there was no place safer on Earth than with her.I tapped my fingers on the table impatiently, as I prayed for a miracle to happen, anything to bring her to me. I was confused at what was still holding her down and making her hesitate from coming to my office.Bringing her here was because I wanted to see her face, there's an irresistible urge in me that demands that I keep her by my side at all times.Though she was innocent and naive, which was why I allowed her to come with along to the office, I sighed as sipping the coffee I had just taken from the coffee maker in a far corner of my office.I was startled as the door opened all of a sudden and was ready to attack whatever or whoever it was that barged in, I softened my gaze as I saw it was Iris.“Arthur.” She drawled.I chuckled and pretended I wasn't an
Arthur's POVI drove off to the penthouse, as Kelvin had chosen to stay back and wrap things up before coming there.All through the ride I couldn't help but worry about Iris, though the boss never called urgently without a valid reason, I had no cause for alarm. I swerved into the parking lot of the penthouse and ensured no one had followed me. I switched off the car engine, alighted from the car and walked into the penthouse.It was in such a place that no one would notice and if anyone noticed it, there was nothing they could do to it since it was a private property.It belonged to try boss and no one in the entire city dared go against him or even the neighboring cities. I sighed as I entered the penthouse, it felt good to be back there, as it had been quite sometime that I had stepped in there last.The boss only called to meet there whenever there was some important business or issue to resolve, it was one of our hideouts and one of the few places we did our businesses openly. I
Chapter 58Iris's POVArthur's absence came as a shock to me, especially after what transpired between us. I was disappointed and sad when a call interrupted our lovely moment, I felt angry that he had to pick up the call, maybe it's just me, but the movies I've watched made me understand that whenever something like that happens between two people with some chemistry between them, the man wouldn't pick up any call but rather kiss the woman fiercely or do whatever they did.But Arthur picking up the call meant it was important than what we shared, the thought that it was more important than me made me even angrier, through I was shocked at my spin of emotions, yet it did hurt a little bit. But Arthur would never hurt me intentionally, and the look of pain and hesitation in his eyes when he had to leave was evident. If it wasn't urgent, then he wouldn't have left.Placing me in Anna's care also showed that though something urgent came up, yet he was considerate of my safety and ensured
Iris's POVI ran outside and waited impatiently for Arthur to pull up in the parking lot and come out of his car. When he was taking too long, I rushed towards his car and opened the car door, he looked tired yet irresistibly handsome and delicious, he noticed my enthusiasm but chuckled. I wanted to jump at him and hug him right, but I restrained myself, so I wouldn't look stupid or childish.“You're back.” I said excitedly.“Yes.” He affirmed.We stood there staring at each other's eyes and ignoring the entire universe, I inch close and almost leaned on him.“You seem happy to see me.” He said, breaking the silence.“Of course! You've been gone all day!” I pouted.He gently ruffled my hair.“Well I'm back now, isn't it?”“Yes.”“Let's go inside, Iris, you're barely dressed well.” He said concernedly as his eyes scanned my body.I pouted and puckered my lips.The dress I wore revealed my collarbone, he glanced at it one more time and I knew it was a warning, the last thing I'd want t
Iris's POVThe next morning, I woke up full of energy and strength. I was beyond excited to dress up in a bid to go with Arthur to the company and check out what it was they did. But was shocked when Arthur told me that I would be starting work there. I rushed back upstairs and changed my dress to a more official and presentable one.Arthur commented on my dress and praised my beauty.He drove us to the company personally and handed me over to Anna before rushing to his office, I was a bit offended by the fact that he didn't say anything special to me, but Anna was more than pleased to have me.“I'm excited you're here! We'll not only have fun but also work while at it.” Anna said cheerily.I laughed softly.“I'm very excited as well, tell me what to do!” I exclaimed.“There's a lot to be done, and of course I can't let you work with anyone else except me. You have to be with me, so we'll be doing things together just like I've always dreamed of.” Anna squealed.“You've always dreame
Iris's POV“The food will get cold.” I said to Arthur.“I'll be done in a minute.” He said.“Okay.” I said, and my eyes scanned the office. It looked magnificent and beautiful.“I said you're beautiful.” He reminded me.I blushed and tried to hide it from him.“Stop teasing me, it's too early for that.” I said.“I don't lie.” He said.“Alright. Just eat.” I said dismissively.He chuckled and clicked his tongue. He sat opposite me and took a bite of the food, from the way he moaned it meant that he enjoyed the food and as he took another bite I began to salivate, I was hungry, but I was contented seeing him eating first.“Eat well.” I said to him.“This food is delicious!” He exclaimed.“I know, which is why I've insisted that you eat well.” I said to him.“Did you make this yourself?”“The food?”“Yes, it tastes so delicious that it can only come from a beautiful hand like yours.”“I ordered for it, Anna recommended their services to me, and I have never patronized them before.“That
Arthur's POV“What is it?” I asked Kelvin as we got to a more private place.He looked worried and sighed.“The goods have been delayed.” He said.“What goods?” I asked curiously.“Our goods that were supposed to be delivered today have been delayed.” He explained.I laughed softly and looked at him in disbelief, was he playing a prank on me ? Kelvin was fond of always pulling pranks on me and making me worried unnecessarily.“Is this some sort of joke?” I asked.“Is it funny?” He retorted.My eyebrows furrowed as I frowned, the news upset and made me angry more than I should. Firstly, I was interrupted from having a moment which I've been waiting for. This ruined the rest of my day and this bad news as well, I got infuriated.“Why?” I asked angrily.“The supplier said the payments haven't been fully made; hence he delayed and wouldn't deliver the goods.” Kelvin said.“Is he out of his mind? I made the full payment and never owe money, is her trying to you with my intelligence and tes
