Sasha got back to her office not long ago after having lunch with Gary. She was just about to get into working mode when her phone rang, she looked at the caller ID and was surprised, she slide the answer button "done with the meeting already?"
Craig chuckled on the other side "if you call it a meeting.""I don't understand.""Guess who I met today.""Who?" Sasha's asked with a playful smile on her lips."Try honey.""I'm not good at guessing Craig, so just tell me.""Your loving husband."The pen in Sasha's hand dropped on the floor "Michael?""Yes. When I heard Mr. Brown during the time I met the investors, he came to my mind but I told myself he is not the only Brown in the world and besides the way the other investors respects the man, if it will be your family's in law Brown then it will be your father in law. It never occurred to me that he is the one that was receiving such respect and fear from the men. Honestly today, I saw your husband in action.Eight days later, Sasha tossed into the dustbin in her office her fifteenth draft plan. She heaved a frustrated sigh. Just want in the world is wrong with her? Why can't she draft out a reasonable plan? Three days ago, the Jack and Jones Empire announced the five companies they are working with and in all, hers was the smallest. She needs a good proposal, something that will bring profit. She wants to prove herself. She doesn't want to hide under the shadow of Michael. The press are already speculating the idea that she was chosen because she is Michael Brown's wife and since the Jack and Jones have been in close business with him, they are just giving him face by choosing his wife.She wants to prove them wrong. She believes Michael gave her this contract because he believes in her and she is going to show her potential to everyone and even though she doesn't want to believe it, she really wants to make Michael proud.Her phone's ringtone disrupted her thoughts and she picked
Sasha saw the pain in his eyes and heard the hurt in his voice and for the moment, she became speechless. She let out a deep sigh and closed her eyes "Craig is a friend."Michael scoffed cause obviously he didn't believe her "really? And you are here challenging your husband for just a friend?""He is not just a friend."Michael opened his mouth to reply but no words came out, he felt his heart shatter into a thousand pieces. When is she going to defend him? When is she going to put him above all else? To fight for him like she is doing for this Craig now, he looked away from her to hide the hurt in his eyes "do you have feelings for him?" He asked in a whisper.Sasha thought on her words earlier and cursed, she let out a deep breath "he is only a friend.""Really? But you just said he is not just a friend!" He stated "do you have feelings for him?" He repeated."I do not have any feelings for Craig, I am only defending him because what you are doing is wrong. What
Craig was in his home lost in thoughts. He kept on thinking on how to get Sasha to talk to her husband or to make her appease her husband so that he can lift his seal on him. He can't believe that just a simple sentence from Michael kept him in this situation. He needs to go back to London, they are a lot of things going on in his company that needs his attention but he can't go back now, not without signing the contract. How is he going to face his staff? What example will he have for them? How serious are they going to take any contract he send them on? After all, he spent three months in LA without signing a single contract. He let out a loud groan and the ringtone of his phone disrupted his thoughts.He looked at the screen and not recognising the number, he furrowed his brows before picking up the phone and sliding the answer button "Craig Newton here.""Mr. Newton, we are glad we can still reach you. I am Marcus Herr, the director of DelaCorp, I'm calling to let you know
A month later, Sasha was in a restaurant having dinner with Derek Holmes. A very popular celebrity known to be arrogant and very difficult to invite out. She has been trying for the past two weeks and finally got his manager to let her speak with him. To her greatest surprise, she didn't have to lick his booth before he agreed to meet her and she knew it was the 'Brown' he heard at the last of her name.She had arrived at the restaurant at exactly 8:00 sharp but had to wait for a long, agonizing thirty minutes before she saw him walking in, in his entourage of assistants and manger. She stood up and waved to him but he ignored her and stopped to sign his autograph on the bodies of the ladies that swarmed around him, he took pictures with some, intentionally delaying his time to meet up with her.Sasha had to stop herself from rolling her eyes when she saw through his game, she reminded herself of her reason to meet with him and took a deep breath, "come on Sa
Derek opened his red wine and poured himself a glass. He looked at Sasha and smiled before opening her white wine for her, he poured a glads for her "at least, I shouldn't let the gentleman in me be hidden don't you think?"Sasha gave a forced smile, she didn't want to open that wine, she wanted to claim not in the mood of drinking anymore and return it and now, Derek has ruin that for her, another bill on her head "that's so nice of you.""Thank you. I wouldn't want Michael Brown thinking that I can't take care of his wife on a date, right?""Em, I'm sorry this is not a date.""Then what is it?""It's a business meeting. I want you to know that you will have your share as my investor when the work becomes a success. As an actor, you guys are after where the profit lies, just like everybody. And don't you forget, we are talking about Jack and Jones Empire.""Yea, it's not like it can overshadow the Brown's Legacy. Why don't we do this, how about you call me when yo
Michael's whole body shivered at the sound of her voice and his heart palpated, slowly he sat back down beside her on the bed and he watched her smile, she pulled him to her and his face was only a few breaths away from her, her eyes went to his slightly opened lips and she licked her lips, she raised her head and claimed his lips and he melted, his heart soared in happiness as he let himself melt in the kiss.Her hands wound around his neck and she tightened her hold on him as she kissed him like her life depended on it. Michael let his hand searched her body as his fingers traced her thigh, a soft moan escaped from her lips and his body tightened just at the sound, he wanted more and when her hands went to pull off his jacket, he caught a wisp smell of alcohol and then it hit him, whatever that she is doing now is all the influence of alcohol and should he let himself go with it, then they will have a fight tomorrow.He remembered how angry he was when he woke up that mornin
Michael got down from the car tiredly and sat on his wheelchair, it was very difficult for him to be walking and still be moving around in a wheelchair once he gets home, but if that is the price for him pay to have his beloved by his side, then he will gladly do it. Gary wheeled him inside and they were surprised when they saw the dinning table already occupied with food, what is happening? Michael thought before he saw Sasha walking out of the kitchen in an apron, she was carrying a plate of food and was surprised when she saw him but then, she offered him a smile he never expected to receive from her and his heart melted "you are back" she said.Michael nodded softly, he still hasn't gotten a hold of what was happening "what are you doing?""I'm making dinner silly" she smiled "now go take a shower, I will be done before you are back. You too Gary, you can freshen up in the guest room."Gary was surprised but he still looked at Michael for a go ahead, when Michael nodded
Janet entered Sasha's office later, "tell me all about it and leave nothing out" she said as she made herself comfortable in the chair opposite her.Sasha laughed "tell you what?" She feigned ignorance.Janet gave her an unbelievable look before rolling her eyes, she leaned forward then, not letting anything dampen her enthusiasm, "how did Michael react when he saw the dinner you made?""Well" Sasha stalled."Well?" Janet urged and she laughed."Michael and I... I don't even know what is happening between us now but what I do know is that we are a little bit closer than the way we have ever been."Janet closed her mouth as her eyes revealed how happy she was for her best friend, "I'm so happy for you. Did he lick his plate last night?""Ew, Janet" Sasha laughed "but with the look on his face, he enjoyed it. I never knew having a man eat the food you cook can be so heart satisfying.""It is if you love the man and you my dear, is hopelessly in love with him."
