Meant to be 8. SEDUCING?
LUCYI stood there without blinking. I saw someone sitting at my desk.What is he doing? I know I'm getting fired but he should have called me to his cabin to tell him that instead of here, in front of everyone.I cleared my throat. ''Sir?''He snapped out of whatever he was thinking and stood up.''Oh hey Lucy, I actually came to tell you to pack your things, but it seems like you have already ..'' Mr. Agosti trailed off, glancing at my things, which were perfectly packed.I gave him an awkward smile. What should I say? That I already expected this? My nose started to itch, indicating that my eyes were going to sting.I pinched the tip of my nose before it was too late. Gosh, what's wrong with me? Why am I so disappointed? What did I expect? That I finally got a chance to experience all the lovey-dovey stuff? It's just a kiss! Not a big deal!''I just uh.. expected this would happen sir. Should I just take my things and go or? Are there any formalities?''''No, no. I'll call someone

LUCY''Umm.. You there?'' I asked, waving my hand in front of her face.She blinked a few times before composing herself.''Why do you want to know about them? Is it because they are your company's rivals?''''No, it has nothing to do with the company, it's more complicated. Actually, why don't you have my number? It's too late now, give me a call when you are free!'' I said, giving her my card.She looked hesitant, but took it with a nod.''Thanks for the ride Lucy''''No problem''....''Who do you think is best?'' Mr. Hottie asked, placing some pictures on his desk.''We need to select one of them for our new product, I'm counting on you.'' He went back to signing his files after pushing them towards me.I sat in front of him and went through the pictures. There are some new and some are top models.After going through their social media accounts and some websites, I selected a new model. She is 5.8ft tall, blonde and has light green eyes.Her name is Elvira D'Oro and I think sh

LUCY''What's your name again?''I'm starting to despise elevators.''Lucy Vitale'' I said, giving her a forced smile.She didn't even look my way or atleast nod her head. She is so engrossed in her mobile.''Okay Lucy, you can go. I'll manage from here.'' She said as we stepped out.''Um, I'm actually joining you guys for lunch.'' This is getting awkward.''Oh'' she cleared her throat and continued. '' Can you not join us? I want to talk to him privately ''The nerve of this girl! Uff!''I can't do that, Ms. D'Oro. I wouldn't have joined if he hadn't asked me to and your manager should have mentioned the word privately when he asked me'' I said, smiling at her sweetly.''Take your seat Ms. D'Oro, I'll be back in a minute '' I said to her when we reached the dining hall and went out.I don't want to be alone in the same room as her. I might smack her because of my insecurity.What's wrong with me?I saw Mr. Hottie came out of his private elevator and went near him.''Ms. D'Oro is insi

LUCYAfter speaking with Ria last night, we decided to meet for lunch today.So here I am at a restaurant near my office waiting for her, but she is late.My break time is almost over and I don't know if I want to wait any longer. Because I just took the afternoon off yesterday because of Sam and I didn't want to irk Mr.Hottie.Speaking of Hottie, he looked extra hot today.I sighed, dreamily remembering him.As I was about to get up, I spotted Ria coming towards me.''sorry I'm late'' She apologized and sat in front of me.Okay, now should I tell her that I want to go? She looks like she ran a marathon to get here though.''It's OK, but my break is over, Ria. I'm afraid I can't talk to you right now.'' I said, looking at my watch.I'm already 10mins late.''O-Oh'' she looked like a sad puppy when she said that.I don't know what to do right now. Wasn't it me who asked for her help? I know that it's her fault that she came late, but since I need her.. I'm going to take an off, officia

ALEX''I'm going to invite Lucy and Nat to my birthday party''''Don't you fucking dare Sam'' Monica said, glaring at her.Here we go again!''Why the fuck you are so against it, Monica?'' Sam asked, glaring back.''Yeah, why?'' I kicked Rocco's leg when he asked that.One thing I got to know from years of friendship is that, never, I repeat, never get in the middle of a girl's argument.Thankfully, they are both busy glaring at each other to notice us.We do this shit twice or thrice a month according to our schedules. This time it's my place. I live in a separate house, apart from my family.When I say family, it means the whole family.My grandmother died before I was born, so it's just my grandpa Adriano, his first son, a.k.a my father Gilbert, his second son Gino, my uncle and his wife Melissa, along with their daughter Karina, that's our grandma's name, live in our family house, but I moved out as soon as I joined college.His third and precious child, my aunt Giada and her husb

LUCY''Didn't I tell you to complain to your teacher when someone bullies you? Then why did you hit him Jay?'' I'm furious to see him like this. His left eye was slightly swollen, his cheeks and knuckles were bruised.God!!! It must hurt a lot.''I-It was me who hit him first, Mamma. When he tried to hit me back, Jay came in front of me and this happened. I'm so s-sorry Mamma, I-I'll not do this again! I-I P-Promise!'' Vicky said, his voice cracked at the end, making me want to cry all over again.But I need to be strong! If I cry, he will cry too.''Did you cry Mom?'' Jay asked, placing his hand over my cheek. He opened his mouth for the first time since I came.I took his hand and squeezed it lightly.''No, I didn't and why is that only you two are here?'' I frowned, looking at him and Vicky.''Ma'am went to take a call, it's just been 10 mins mom. Don't stress out!'' I nodded and looked at Vicky.''Now tell me, why did you hit that boy in the first place!'' But he shook his head.I

LUCY ''How is everything Ria?'' I asked her on the phone while going through my wardrobe. Sam invited me and Nat to her birthday party! She even asked me to bring the kids. I still don't know how she knows about Jay and Vicky. I'm assuming it's either Mr. Agosti or Mr.Ganovese was the one who told her. Yeah, he is not Hottie anymore. It's been more than a week since he came to my home. Things were awkward afterwards. I tried to speak to him many times during office hours, but he chose to ignore me. I was so hurt that I almost cried! So, now back to Ria. As we planned, I booked her a room in NewView! She is staying there from today for two weeks. Hope she finds something against Moretti's! ''Everything is okay. The room is so beautiful! The view from the balcony is awesome.'' She sounds excited. ''I'm glad you like it! But please be careful, if you ever have the slightest doubt that you are in danger, just run from there, OK?'' ''Okayyy'' she said in a sing-song voice. I rolle

LUCY I hissed as soon as he slammed me against the door. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" ''I should be the one asking that!! What the hell do you think you are doing out there, huh? Trying to make me jealous—" ''Oh please, I know you don't have any kind of feelings towards me for you to be jealous, unlike what you said in my apartment– and that's exactly what I told your cousin too. So, why don't you save 'I'm your boss and your just my employee' speech to yourself ? That could save both of us a lot of time '' I snapped and looked at the wall to my left. He sighed, releasing me from his grip. He ran his fingers through his hair, licking his dry lips. '' Lucy— '' He started to say something but stopped placing his hands on his hips and sighed. I folded my arms and raised my eyebrows, looking at him in disbelief. He doesn't even have an explanation? I scoffed and muttered 'unbelievable'. I was about to turn around but he pulled me into a hug, making me shriek unlady

Meant to be 34. Headstart
LUCYMy heart raced like a runaway train, the adrenaline pumping through my veins as I struggled against the death grip.I kicked and writhed, every fiber of my being focused on breaking free from this sudden nightmare.Panic surged through me as I was forcefully dragged away from the safety of the street and into the alley behind the ice cream parlor.I looked around, desperate for a way out, but my eyes landed on two more figures in the alley.One of them, a towering man with bulging muscles, seemed like a bodyguard. His sheer size and intimidating presence sent shivers down my spine.The other person, a woman, looked strikingly beautiful and crazy at the same time. Her wild pink hair was allover her face and her eyes held a hint a madness that made me uneasy for an instant.My mind raced, piecing together the situation and I knew I was trapped.That woman clicked her tongue and pouted in a mocking manner as if she found amusement in my fear. She lifted her hand, bringing it to my f
Meant to be 33. Out of comfort zone
LUCY As I stood by the xerox machine, feeding it paper after paper, I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration building up within me. Printing out documents, answering calls, and running errands had become the mundane routine of my job. I jabbed at the buttons on the machine with more force than necessary, my annoyance clearly evident.I'm so over this. I can't just do this anymore. That's it. I'm going to ask Rocco to allow me to attend this afternoon's meeting. It's been months since I joined and still haven't got a chance to set foot in the conference room along with Rocco.I attended a few meetings with Alex though, that was more like one-on-one meetings. But this meeting with Rocco will be full on discussions about business operations, strategies and issues with other department heads and team members.With new determination, I went to Rocco's office. After knocking twice, I entered the room and slammed the papers I had just printed on his desk as gently as possible.You se
Meant to be 32. The Cat's Out of the Bag
LUCYThe sun peeked through the curtains, waking me harshly from my slumber. As I opened my eyes, a mixture of excitement and nervousness filled my heart.Today I decided to make my relationship with Alex public at the office. If Carolina or Beatrice said anything to others, there would already be a new rumor waiting for me.I sighed and sluggishly made my way to the kitchen, where Gemma had already prepared breakfast for us. "Buongiorno, Lucy!" Gemma greeted me with a broad smile. "Nervous about today?"I sighed and nodded. "A little. I hope everything goes well."Gemma chuckled and gave me a reassuring pat on the back. "Don't worry. Everything will be just fine. Now, let's focus on getting these little rascals fed and ready for the day!"As we sat around the table, Vicky and Jay joined us with their unruly bed hair and contagious energy.Vicky plopped down beside Gemma, his eyes wide with anticipation. "Mamma!Alex is still coming to pick us up, right?''I grinned at his excitement.
Meant to be 31. YOU CHOOSE
LUCYMy grip on the handle tightened as Elvira's face inched towards Alex. They are standing a few steps away from the sofa. I could partially see Alex's face as his back faced the entrance and Elvira was too engrossed in Alex to notice me. My heart sank and a wave of pain washed over me. I could literally feel the ache in my heart.It was almost similar to the feeling I get whenever I think about Alex. The only difference is, that was full of love and this feels like heartbreak.Love? Did I just say that? My timing truly sucks.Before Elvira could place her lips against his, Alex slapped her hands off him. I flinched involuntarily like it was my hands that he slapped.Okay, ouch, that must have hurt.''Don't you ever touch me again'' The coldness in his voice sent shivers down my spine.Elvira hissed and looked at him in disbelief. ''Do you even know what you are saying? How could you reject me? Am I not to your liking?''I could see Alex's jaw flex as he clenched it. ''I have no int
Meant to be 30. THE FLIES
LUCYI sat at my desk, tapping my fingers nervously. It's been three days since the bathroom incident. True to her words, Carolina never let go of any chance to torment me.And the worst thing? I haven't been able to see Alex in the office. I can't believe Carolina is actually doing this!Normally, if a file is needed to be signed/reviewed, anyone from the secretary's department will bring it me, and if the COO thinks it needs to be checked/ needs the CEO's sign, I'll take that file to Alex's assistant. I'm supposed to give the file to her but instead, I'll give it to Alex myself, so that I can see him.Sometimes he will be too busy, like having a video conference or having meetings, but when he is free, we usually kiss, talk, hug and kiss some more.But now, Carolina has made that impossible for me. I know she is the head of the secretary's department, but I never imagined that she'd actually send a person to fetch files from end to end. Sometimes, she personally takes files to Alex
Meant to be 29. IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
ILARIAI woke up in the middle of the night, unable to sleep. I sighed and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. As I got out of bed, I realized I was only wearing a tank top and panties. I shrugged, thinking it was just me. The coolness of the marble floor sent shivers up my spine as I made my way to the kitchen.As I rummaged through the refrigerator, searching for a late-night snack, a sudden movement caught the corner of my eye. Startled, I turned around, only to find myself face to face with Niccolo. His presence sent a jolt through me, and I quickly pulled the tank top down, attempting to cover myself."What the hell, Ria? Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Niccolo's voice was laced with annoyance, but I could see a glimmer of something else in his eyes.I narrowed my gaze at him, my own frustration mixing with the undeniable attraction that pulsed between us. "You should learn to knock, Niccolo. This is my temporary place to stay, remember?"He scoffed,
Meant to be 28. I'M JUST A BIT CLUMSY
ILARIAAs I hung up the phone, a sense of uneasiness washed over me. Lucy seemed distant during our conversation. I know I'm not totally being honest with Lucy, but I don't know how to tell her that I kind of joined hands with the guy that I was supposed to spy on?Okay, that sounds awful. What if she thinks I'm betraying her? Or worse, I'm scamming her for money or something? I hope that Niccolo finds something about the accident she had so that I can give her an update.Speaking of Niccolo, I haven't seen him since the day we had the agreement. It's just been 4 days though, not that I'm counting.He also sent a doctor for me that day. The audacity of him. First he sends bodyguards, then he sends a doctor too. Who does he think he is?But he did say that it was a misunderstanding though, but who cares? Not me. And true to his words, I didn't see that giant bodyguard again.Ohhh and not to mention the privileges he mentioned. I'm enjoying my life to it's fullest right now. I now get w
Meant to be 27. LINGERING STARES AND HUSHED WHISPERS
LUCYIt feels hot in here, wherever I was. My eyes felt heavy as I tried to open them. I squinted my eyes and blinked slowly a few times before opening them again. When I tried to stir, I couldn't move my body. Confused, I looked down and found myself entangled with Alex. Last night's memory zapped into my brain, making me flush like a tomato.I'm only in my bra and Alex is in his boxers. His hands were wrapped around me, with his head buried between my breasts and our legs tangled inside the sheets. His thigh is directly in contact with my lower region, making it pulse with life.A smile tugged my lips as I took in our position. I have never cuddled with anyone intimately before but I'm loving this. Sure, it's not as comfortable as cuddling with my pillows, but I can't deny the fact that I just had one of my best sleeps.Gently untangling myself, I slipped out of bed and reached for my oversized T-shirt. I slipped it over my head and wore my panties before padding silently across the
Meant to be 26. NOT A SOUND, TESORO
LUCY''Don't go'' I whispered, looking at Alex in the eye, so that he knows I'm serious. ''I don't want you to go. Spend the night with me.''He clenched his jaw and cupped the back of my neck, bringing his face close to mine. ''You look tired, Tesoro. You need rest.''I tiptoed, fisting his shirt on both sides and brushed my lips against his. He sucked his breath when I dragged my lips along with his jaw. His grip tightened on my neck as I licked the spot under his ear.He smells musky mixed with sweat and it turned me on even more. I brought my lips to his ear and whispered ''I'm not tired enough, are you?''He pulled me back by my neck and gripped my waist with his other hand. His lust-filled eyes bore into mine, making me shudder in anticipation.''Never for you'' he muttered and slammed his lips against mine.I staggered back at the rough contact but melted in when he nudged his tongue against mine. I let him explore every corner of my mouth while he backed me against the wall.H
