At around 9 am the next day, Lauren is in the conference room of Daniel's multi-purpose PLC. He is looking over the financial report that Mandy had dropped. "Who is in charge of the financial department?" Larry looked at him like some alien, is he not aware that he had employed Mandy as the financial manager, then Lauren moved his gaze to the director, and now Larry understood, that she had someone heading her. As his gaze falls on the director of this department, he stands in a hurry. 'Yes sir! That should be me." "Good, did she discuss this with you?" He nodded. "Good, why is there still a bonus attached for this month, and the report here shows, no bonus?" "Sir!" "This is an act of incompetence, go and do it again." Lauren throws it at him, and he looks at it and then frowns, he has no choice but to go do that again since Mandy is not available. He picks up another report, he scans through it, saying; the same goes for the maintenance department, "who is the head of this departm
Early hours of the morning came and passed, Mandy didn't go to work, it was almost noon, and she was so tired that she forgot she had another job apart from modeling. Still stretching on her bed, her phone ping, is from Tessa, she had been trying to reach her, and now she finally gets through. "Hey babe! Where are you?" "Why are you calling at this time of the night?" "Silly, it's not even morning is noon already and the company is having a conference." "Shit!" Mandy dumped the phone and hurried into the washroom, on getting out, she pulled a simple gown on her skin without pulling the zipper up. "Ma! Are you not going to take your...""No, I will just skip it, I need to be at the office. She speaks as she dashes out, Bryan pulls the car door for her, but he doesn't notice that Mandy's zipper is not fully zipped, getting into Daniel's company, she hurries to the reception. "Good morning!" "Miss Mandy, it's noon." "Sorry, where is the conference held?" "Over there." Tina point
Mandy is sitting in the dining, when Lauren returns to the living room, this time, he is groomed with a t-shirt and jeans, Mandy smiles but then, she doesn't want him to notice. "Sorry, I take too long." "Don't worry, sit, I have something to tell you." "Hm! I was thinking, we want to feast." Mandy climbs on the chair and pecks him, he looks at her in surprise. "Thanks! For letting me stay here." "Silly, I practically blackmailed you into staying, so I should be the one thanking you, I know you prefer Dylan..." The man is jealous, he just can't hide it, Mandy traces his eyes, and it falls on her phone that has been ringing unknowingly to her. "Oh! Excuse me, I will take this." Lauren didn't say a word, he averted his gaze, and feasted on the food in front of him, in less than a few minutes she was back. "You eating without me?" "Not really, I just want to get some taste." Mandy smiled at him, that smile was suspicious, so Lauren looked at her. "Why are you smiling? How do you c
"Yes, I know and I watched it, you are very beautiful." He added, Mandy smiled and lowered her face, he watched her blush, he too blushed. "So you are not mad at me?" She asked after getting herself back, He moved his eyes from one of her eyes to the other. "A bit, for not telling me, for hiding stuff from me, and for trusting Dylan instead of me." "Hm! So you are jealous?" "Of course, I should be your number one friend, not Dylan. You just call me your friend right?" Mandy's stare became stronger, he realized he had said more than he was supposed to say, the deed had already been done, so no need to hide anything. "Fine, I am sorry, the other day at the mall, I...""I know, that is the reason you are sad." Mandy looks at him. "Yes, you don't think, I will leave you out there, without having you watch, do you?" Mandy facepalms, it's obvious that the surprise is no longer one and that in everything, she does Lauren knows about it. "Thank you," She hugged him, and Lauren ran his h
When Lauren pulls the door, is the delivery boy, who is aware of who is at the door. "Sir, you have to sign here." "It's fine," Lauren signed and tipped the delivery boy, this was the best delivery he had done for the past year, and having this huge sum of money as a tip, it's a great deal. "Thank you," Lauren nodded to him, he collected his order and then closed the door behind him. Returning, Mandy and Dylan are done talking and the young man is already on his feet, he wants to leave, he is just there to torment Lauren, he needs to force the boy into admitting his feelings for Mandy. "Is that for me?" Mandy asked, without waiting for a reply, she grabbed the flower, that was in one hand, and then inhaled the fragrance. Her smile beamed, then she reached for the second, it was a teddy bear, that big one, she always wanted but never got, she grabbed it and pressed her lips to it, Lauren wasn't expecting that excitement in her eyes, the first time, he ever thought of buying somethin
Mandy moves slowly on her four like she is some cat, ready to jump on her prey, coming on top of him, he stares at him, making her hair fall to her face, Lauren can't see her face. He pushed his hand into her hair and moved it behind her ear. "What are you looking for?" Mandy looks at him. "My wine!" She replied to him, but before she could react, Lauren used his hand to draw a line on her cleavage, and she closed her eyes, Lauren was waking desires in her, and before she could open her eyes, Lauren pulled himself and her from the couch, making her leg circle his waist. Opening her eyes, she smiled as she saw herself on Lauren's waist with her legs cupping him right there. They move towards the stairway, Mandy circles her hand around his neck licking and sucking his neck, Lauren's body aches up, and the next thing, Mandy dragged the mask off his face. This action made Lauren drop her but his hand was still around her waist, he was aware that Mandy couldn't stand on her own, so his f
Lauren had already finished his breakfast, he is going through the report of Mandy, he needs to assist her till he gets someone else to replace her, she can't be stressing too much. He is aware that Mandy had pulled the door but it seems her smile has faded away, he doesn't know the reason, and then his heart races to last night. "Shit! She must be so mad at him now, for kissing her like that." He is having a mental battle but what can he do, he has to put on a cold look so Mandy doesn't scold him that much "Good morning!" That was her first words to him, he gave himself a deep breath, like the young lady didn't remember what happened between them but he was not too sure, he raised his head. "Do you have a peaceful sleep?" "Yes, it's perfect." Her words made him stare at her, she took the couch in front of him. "You don't remember last night?" "Last night!" She echoed. "Oh! I only remember that I had a lot to drink and that Dylan's wine is like a spell, it's like I drank too much
"Don't worry about him, if he bullies you tell him, you are not going with him." Mandy laughed at Tessa's silly jokes, they had to return since the man didn't want Mandy to be out there. He needs to protect Mandy, he has so many enemies, the ones he is aware of and the ones, he doesn't even have a hint about and Mandy will be their target, the girl can't take the heat and she got herself some personal enemies now, going into modeling, will expose her to more harms. Lauren is a man of his word, the dress was already at the mansion when Mandy returned home, so she just had to dress up for him, this time not for naughty Dylan but for him, the only man, she should be drinking with and dressing up for. He didn't spend the night at the mansion, he had a lot to do at the office, so he ended up at the condominium. When it was almost time he drove to his Mansion on a black Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, the man knew how to pick his cars, he liked expensive things, things that made him stand out. When
