Enora:“Where was he? What was taking him so long?”My phone was in my hand and I was shaking with fear. Adam had dropped me at the penthouse and drove to the station to meet Mr. Wright.It was 6:00 am. And I still have not heard from him. His phone was not ringing. He wasn’t picking up my calls and I didn’t have Adam’s number.The sofa creaked slightly as I plopped myself down. I couldn’t get a single wink of sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Mr. Romeo, naked and laughing, just inches, seconds away from having his way with me.A shiver rippled through my body. Another nightmare to add to the ones that I already had.My hands hid my face and I sobbed. Why were things always happening to me? I came for a job to pay up my student loan but now, all this drama was happening to me. Was I some sort of jinx? Why did it always happen to me?The sound of a keycard swiping made me raise my head. I stood up in alarm and Adam walked in followed by…I jumped up and ran into his arms. He st
Enora:“Dear, can you smell something?”I sniffed the air. No one’s sense of smell was really good if the person had a cold but I was certain that it was nothing. Besides, I could still smell mom’s cooking and it was amazing.“Nope. I think it’s fine. You are probably worrying too much.”I kissed her cheek and she smiled. Thanksgiving was going to be perfect. The turkey was being stuffed and Mum and I were making jokes about last year's Thanksgiving.“Your father is such a clutz. I hope he won’t spill the orange juice on your grandpa again this year.”We broke into another round of laughter and Father appeared at the doorway.“Oi! Who’s making jokes about me?”He was in his sweater that grandma had knitted him last year. He always complained that it was itchy but he always wanted to impress my mom’s parents even though they had already been married for seventeen years now.“Dad, it is just a joke. We didn’t mean to.”He walked in and pulled me into the tightest hug of the century. I f
Enora:"How do you feel?"I lifted my head off his chest. The sobbing had died down and all that was left were my stinging eyes."Can I really feel better?"He kissed my forehead and brushed my hair out of my face."Well, I think a shower will make you feel much better. Frankly, I need one too. The smell of a holding cell isn't my best scent."It wasn't the best joke I had heard but I chuckled anyway.I sat up and he helped me undress. I saw the way he looked at me. His eyes burned with desire. I wanted him. I was miserable and sad but I wanted him."Nathan... I"I grabbed his hand and placed it on my breast. His breathing hitched and his grip tightened slightly."No..."He pulled away and kissed my forehead."...You aren't in your best mood and sex isn't the solution that you need."I whimpered."I want you."My lips parted and he pounced on me, seizing my lips and digging his fingers into my hair.I groaned into his mouth. I was lost in his taste. I wanted more..."Enora. My Enora..
Enora:Was it me or did I suddenly feel so unattractive in every outfit that I wore?It took me hours to find something that I would deem 'decent' enough to go out with my hot boss.Now, those hours spent were pointless. Next to him, in the car, I felt so underdressed and here he was saying that we were going to enjoy a nice casual afternoon out together.Why the hell was he dressed like he was going to strut the runway?In the front, beside him felt new and strange. Seeing his hands gently circling the steering wheel was refreshing and weirdly attractive.I was already getting so used to seeing Adam behind the wheel but with his week off, he wasn't going to be driving for a while.However, I could get used to this."So where do you want to go?"He turned to me and I froze. What was going on?I blinked, speechless and stunned. What did he mean by 'where did I want to go'? I thought already had a place in mind."I thought you already had this figured out?""No. I just thought that some
Enora:I couldn't explain my joy When I found myself seated in the car with two giant tubs of ice cream. If Mom were alive, she would be very proud.I could feel his eyes on me and I didn't have to look at him to know that he was smiling, grinning, and shaking his head as he watched the child-like Glee spread all over my face.“So, I guess we are going to the park,” I said, tugging my attention away from the tubs of ice cream and looking at him as he slotted the key into the ignition. “I hope this isn't a park that you own as well because I am starting to get the feeling that you own everything in this city.”He smirked at me and I nearly palmed my forehead. Was he kidding me? He owned the park that we were going to as well? Maybe he didn't own this city.He pulled out of the parking area and I sat back in my chair and watched his drive.It was funny. I felt…calmer. I couldn’t explain it but when I was with him, I didn't have to worry about what happened. I didn't even think about it.
Enora:His hands grabbed my hair and he held me tightly as his lips explored my mouth. The ice cream tasted so much better off his lips. It was amazing."Enora..."The way he groaned my name was maddening. I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted him to have me, right here on the grass."Please fuck me."As soon as the words left my mouth he stopped. He pulled away from me and moved away.I sat up, downcast and sad."What is the problem?" I asked, almost in tears. "Why are you teasing me like this? You clearly want me and I want you. Why are you...""I brought you out here so that you could clear your head. I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of you."My jaw dropped."Take advantage of me? How is it taking advantage when I let you do it...""You aren't in your best mood, Enora.–"His voice was a few notches high."–You are hurt and clearly not thinking straight."Tears pricked the corners of my eyes."So you think I'm crazy?"He was dumbfounded as he looked at me but I didn't c
Enora:My eyes fluttered open and I realized that it was dark out.How long have I been asleep for? I sat up and felt around the bed. He wasn't here but his side of the bed was still warm.My clothes were folded neatly on the chair at the far end of the room. I wondered where he went as I got up and walked sluggishly to the chair to retrieve my clothing.As I dressed up, I strained my ears to listen to any sounds but the penthouse was dead silent and it made me wonder if he had left me to go out again. Did people go to the gym immediately after sex? Did he even sleep?I was fully dressed and saw him in the living room on the phone. As he turned to me, I saw anger and frustration burning in his eyes. I sat on the sofa that was furthest away from him and watched him as he continued to make his call."What do you mean that she isn't at home?... Well, find her. I have every reason to believe that she's conspiring with him. If I see her at work tomorrow, I will make sure to fire her but af
Nathan:I closed my door behind me and stood there like a mannequin. I couldn't even think straight. It felt like my mind had shut down and no thought seemed to make sense anymore.Why did she have to say that? Why did she have to say that she loved me?She was only half asleep when she said it but that didn't mean that she didn't say it. It didn't take away the value of what she said.This didn't make any sense. No, what was I saying? It made perfect sense but I didn't think that it could happen. I didn't think that she would be able to fall in love with me.“Damn it,” I cursed silently as I made my way to my bed.I wasn't even sure that I could be mad at her. I cared for her. She was beautiful, charming, undeniably sexy but I wasn't in love with her.This wasn't an arrangement for us to fall in love. It was supposed to be light and casual, just for the fun of it, just because I found her appealing. But now, she was falling from me and it was possible that I was falling for her too.
Enora:“I sent her home for the day. I actually thought that it was going to be possible to come and see you.”He raised his eyebrows at me and I shrunk back. I was really worried. I also didn’t want her to get hurt in case something actually did happen.“So, might I ask what spurred all this anxiety from you?” he asked, putting one hand in his pocket as he took me in.I led him to the living room and on the table was the box: unopened and still very much intact and the letter next to it.His eyes darted across the paper and once he was done, he put it aside, grabbed the box and tore open the wrapping paper.A small jewellery box was under it. My heart was racing and my breath caught in my throat as the box was opened.“Oh my God!”Mr. Wright glared at me angrily. I tried my best not to be surprised but I have never seen a necklace like that. It was encrusted with diamonds that sparkled in the light.“Pathetic. His grand ploy to get your attention was to buy you jewellery?”He shut th
Enora: I was in my officxe packing my stuff packing my stuff for the dasy. My head still throbbed and I was tsill try to get over the fact that we had been called by ther board. The office was quiet and Gina sn Emily were mess. They already made plan to use their paid time off and stay awya froim work tomorrow and we all agredd that it was for the best. I took a depe breath. Everything was set/ All I wanted to do was get home and pretend that all this never happened. I wasn’t resady for any inquires or… There was a knock at the door and it oponed slowly. Mr. Wright came in and I felt my heart skip a beat and I glared at him. “Are you here to gloat or to ask me questions about what happened?” He was silent for a while and I continued packing my stuff, not ready to give him a second of my time. I have been through more than enough for today. In fact, I had been through enough for a lifetime and all I wanted to do was flop on the bed and wish that I could turn back the hands of time
Nathan:They all left and I was left alone with the board.“Why didn't you tell us that your daughter was dating Mr Kane's son?” One of the directors asked accusingly. Do you know how much of an advantage this could have been for us?I glared at the director, and he shrunk immediately, but he still had a sour expression on his face.“You are the CEO of this company, Mr Right. I expect you to not be so short-sighted. This was an opportunity. Your daughter was the perfect person on the inside to get information about Mr Rights, but you chose to keep this from us, and now come up, we're only just finding out.”I shook my head slowly and tried my best to keep my anger under control. These men were old fools, and the only thing they cared about was fattening their pockets. Then knew nothing about how a company should be run, and I wasn't sure if I could blame them or not.“What you are insinuating, is sending my daughter as a spy to KKC just because she is dating the CEO’s son?”There was
Enora:I felt my knees buckle as soon as they walked in and I knew I wasn't the only one. Emily was shivering to her bones and the only thing that Gina could do was stand there and stare at them like she was a deer.We were all asked to sit. The CEO and the directors were all in the room, watching us with eagle eyes.My heart did a flip in my chest. He knew and there was no point in lying about it anymore.The oldest man who looked around sixty five stood up and addressed the room.“I am sure that you all know that our business proposal with KKC has been terminated. We no longer are doing business with them of any kind.”There was a large mumble around the room and after a few seconds, the room was back to being quiet and calm. Poor Gina was as white as a ghost, but she still kept a straight face.“It has reached our attention that all of you were reported to be seen having lunch with Mr Cain at his privately owned restaurants and we have every reason to believe that during that time
Enora:He slammed the door behind him and I was left alone to pick up my stuff from the floor.What pushed him to come search my office? I knew that I lied about the letter but I did not give him any right to come and sniffing through my stuff looking for it. Besides, it was long gone by now. I threw it out of the window on my way back from work. I didn't want to have any memory of the lunch that I had with Mr Kane and Eliot. It was a nightmare that I wished would never happen to me again.I wiped my face with the back of my hands, and after a few minutes, my drawer was back in order.My chicken from the restaurant sat on my desk, the aroma filling the air and cheering me up slightly.I never thought that good food would be such a saviour in a time like this.I sat at my desk, opened my laptop and quietly ate my chicken as I looked through emails. In the short time that I was gone, I received a lot and it was likely that I was going to stay back late again today to get it all done.As
Nathan:I sat down in my office, filling out paperwork that I had to submit to the board of directors in a few days, alongside the presentation that Enora was supposed to give.The lunch break was almost over and I had refused to order anything. Ever since the argument between Enora and me in her office, my appetite had eluded me, and all I could do to keep my mind from thinking about her was to bury myself in work.I picked up my phone; every fibre of my body was urging me to call her,, but it was still just like every other time: I picked it up, stared at the screen and then put it down and continued doing what I was doing.If she wanted to talk to me, she knew where my office was but something told me that she wasn't going to make the first move.I saw how angry she was, how mad she was about me coming over to her place unannounced, how she made a fuss over Bridget. I knew she cared about her, but couldn't she see that she was putting herself in danger?Bridget's boyfriend couldn't
Enora:Why could the ground just open up and swallow me? Why did I have to put up with stuff like this? All I wanted was a normal workday and a normal lunch without the hassle and the fear that something was going to go wrong every minute.“I just need a few minutes; I really choked hard and I need some time to recover.”Bridget left and I could finally. Lunch today was a bad idea and there was no way I wad going to be able to sneak out of this place.I guess I was going to have to just pull through this. With a deep breath, I puffed out my chest and walked out of the bathroom. As I walked close to the table my heart beat faste ran faster. Mr. Kane turned to look at me and a smirk stretched his lips. I had to think of something fast. I was determined to not spend an extra minute here.“Hey, I’m really sorry for the wait. I choked but I’m fine.”“Well, that is good to hear,” Mr. Kane purred, “I thought that you were asthmatic and I asked Bridget to give you my spare inhaler. It used to
Enora:I finished up work for the afternoon and I packed up my stuff. My phone was in my hand and I searched the map for the restaurant that I had been sent by Anthony.It was somewhere in town. But it didn't show up on the map."Does this place even exist?" I grumbled, grabbing my handbag and walking to the door. "Maybe a taxi would... Ouch!"I rubbed my forehead and looked up angrily to see Mr. Wright standing right in front of me, blocking the door with his tall and muscular frame."How did you get in here? How come I didn't hear you?""Maybe you should keep your nose out of your phone a little and you might be able to know what goes on around you."I scoffed. Was that supposed to make me angry?"Thank you for the information. I'll be sure to keep it in mind next time."I tried to go around him but he stopped me with an outstretched hand and a vicious glance."I have somewhere I need to be, Mr. Wright. It's my break.""I am well aware, he growled, glaring at me and exhaling deeply,
Enora:“Why the hell would anyone in their right mind send a bouquet that is big enough to cover my desk? How many meadows did he have to destroy to get this many flowers?”I was dumbfounded and a little unsettled. If this wa Mr. Kane’s way of getting me to accept to go out to dinner with him that he was in for a real shocker.I exhaledand myu mind began the mental task of figurimg out a way t get thses flowers off mu desk before someone saw…“Hey, Enora. Oh my god!”I spun around and saw Anthony at the door. Sneakily, I hid the car behind my back and smiled warmly at him as he walked up to me.“Lovely morning, right,” I greeted, trying my best to keep it cool.He stopped beside me and stared at the flowers, his jaw slack and his eyes wide.“Who the hell got you this bouquet? It’s massive.”Before I could even say anything, he was already prunning through the petals for a note and in that time, I slipped te note into my bag.“I tried looking but there wasn’t a note anywhere. Maybe it
