Bianca's heart skipped a beat, here was this feeling again, the one she felt the last time at the party where he tried to flirt with her.. His arm around her was surprisingly warm and in a way made her feel secure, snapping out of her weird thoughts, she wriggled her way out of his hold.. "Stay far away from me!" Xander placed both hands on her shoulder, he gave it a light squeeze totally ignoring her glares and warning he still failed to understand why he was attracted to the one lady who gave him the cold shoulder every single time he approached her.. "A chance is all I'm asking for...what are you scared of losing?" he inquired raising a brow but she only shook her head slowly before a grin appeared on her lips.. Now that was scary, he pulled his hands off her but still maintained eye contact with her, he noticed a change in her behavior but couldn't point a finger to it.. Bianca's hands folded on her chest, she tilted her head to the side taking a proper glance at him
Olivia returned back to her small office still thinking about what Rihanna just said about Damien being impotent, that didn't seem to be the case that night seven years ago.. She sneaked a glance at his side profile, he was deeply engrossed in the conversation he was having over the phone and when he felt the gaze on him, he turned to her direction offering her a small smile which she surprisingly returned back absentmindedly.. She took in deep breaths to calm herself down, this had nothing to do with her right? It's not like they'll progress further than this in their relationship.. With that unsettling thought in mind, she resumed working on her PC.. *** Sandy was all smiles when she opened the door, that was because Xander was here too, she stepped aside for the three to step in.. "Xander it's good that you stopped by Cassie just arrived.." Bianca huffed loudly as she walked past Sandy with Kelvin clutching onto her like a second skin.. Cassie strolled out of th
Bella cleared her throat to gain the attention of the two who were standing in such close proximity, they didn't even notice her walking in, her eyes rolled at the sight.. "Boss" Damien turned around to face her with an arched brow, she walked to him handing him a brown envelope.. "I got exactly what you asked for boss.." He accepted the envelope giving her a short nod, Olivia's interest was piqued as her eyes fell on the envelope.. "If it's to my liking, then you'll get a raise this month.. you may leave now" Bella beamed walking out of the office, a raise this month would certainly help her mental health recover quickly after all these weeks of working her ass of.. "Umm..where were we?" Damien inquired meeting her gaze once more.. "Nowhere exactly..I was on my way to go get lunch" she murmured nonchalantly walking to the door when his voice came again.. "Let's have lunch together.." She stopped walking and turned back to him with a small frown, why was he try
Olivia felt Damien's arm around her tightened a bit, the glare between the two men was getting intense especially Damien... "I thought I told you to stay away..what do you want this time?" She asked with a raised brow, their deal died a month ago after she had blatantly rejected him at the restaurant where they had a blind date set up by her mum.. But he was too adamant to stay away from her despite all her cold attitude towards him.. Jacob took a step forward to her but Damien's hand reached out to his chest pushing him back gently until he was at least a few feet away from Olivia.. "Stay away from our affair Mr Sterling..this has nothing to do with you.." Jacob warned sternly.. "It has everything to do with me as far as my fiancee is concerned..." Olivia's eyes went wide, wasn't that supposed to be a secret between them until everything was soughted out? "Fiancee?" he asked in between a chuckle before speaking again.. "I know the likes of you very well Mr Sterling.. c
Damien shook his head slowly when she didn't give a response, a dry chuckle escaped his lips.. Just when he had thought that she was finally opening up to him, his lips curved up into a sardonic smile.. "I think I'm pressuring you a bit too much about all these.." Olivia took a step forward for him to take one back, and in one swift, he walked in large strides to his car, he turned deaf ears to her calls.. *** Olivia cuddled up on her bed with the sheets over her face, for the first time, she felt remorseful for how she spoke to Damien earlier today.. She tucked her hand underneath her pillow taking out her phone, the screen lit up serving as the only source of light in the dark room.. After much hesitation, she sat up with her phone placed against her ear, it rang for a few seconds before it was disconnected at the other end.. She tried for a few more times but all to no avail, he wasn't taking any of her calls, so she decided to text him instead.. Ten minutes pass
A sly smirk graced Damien's lips when he saw the look that crossed her face, did he just render her speechless? "I don't mind you having one of my child again.." A blush crept up her cheeks spreading across her face, she could feel her heartbeat thumping wildly against her ribcage, why does he need to be so blunt? "Uhh..i- He took a step backward, away from her just so she could breath, maybe all she needed was time to adjust to him which he really didn't have.. Yesterday a man popped up from nowhere claiming to have romantic feelings for her.. Was he scared? Yes! he was scared because the only woman who could stir something within him wasn't giving him the chance he wanted, what if she falls for another man? the thought of that makes his blood boil.. "Forget it..I'll head out first" Olivia watched his back leaving the office, she inhaled deeply walking back to his desk where her laptop sat.. She picked it up from his desk knocking a stack of files over in the pr
Rihanna walked slowly to the two with her hands crossed on her chest, she thought Olivia was really going to have second thoughts about Damien's intention after she tried to instigate Olivia against him.. "What do you mean by that?" Olivia questioned suddenly interested in whatever this conversation was about.. Rihanna's position as a cleaner here had something to do with her? "Shut up! and get back to work!" Damien lashed out irritably, he held Olivia by her wrist and led her out of the restroom.. They hadn't gotten far when she pulled away from his hold, he turned around to her with a raised brow.. "What was she talking about? are you hiding something away from me?" "Yes!" he stated firmly and began walking away.. Olivia's jaw dropped, such an attitude! "Jerk!" *** Alexa kicked her door open with her foot, her hands were holding two brown paper bags filled up with groceries.. She walked hurriedly to the kitchen counter and placed the bags gently on it as heavy
Xander touched the back of his head with a loud laughter following suite, he loved every of her unique expressions to little things.. "I find you a lot more cute whenever you have that look on your face" Bianca raised her fist ready to hit him on his chest but he caught her wrist effortlessly placing it against his chest.. "Let go of me!" "I'm afraid if I let you have your way..our plans to go to the movies might be changed to the hospital instead".. He turned around walking back to the red flashy sport car parked at a distance still holding on to her wrist.. *** Charles took a look at the lady by his side who was going through something on her phone, it appears his little bro ditched her and has refused to take her calls and texts too.. The car slowed down as they met a red light ahead which caused a little traffic jam.. "Xander is a jerk! I thought he was coming to pick me up!" He shook his head slowly at her outburst, the poor lady had no idea that the man sh
