Enora:

My face filled with blood and it hurt trying to keep up this faux smile. Why the hell was he looking at me like that? Why was he being creepy?

I tried to pull my hand away politely but his grip was strong. It was hard not to crinkle my nose or cough. His cologne smelt so strong and not in the most alluring way, and his veneers… not to be rude but why were they so white? They could reflect light. He should be in a toothpaste commercial.

“Anthony, I will need you to run some numbers for me,” Mr. Wright interjected, finally causing Anthony to let go of my hands and turn his attention elsewhere. Urghhh… Why the hell were my palms wet? I wiped them subtly on my skirt and listened to the conversation, It was my first day here and despite everything that had happened last night, I was hell-bent on not letting today be another downhill spiral.

    Enora:“Anthony?!”He flashed another smile from me and I involuntarily squinted. Fuck! Why did he have to be here? No, no, no, no.He slipped into the empty seat in front of me and I felt all alarms go off in my head. Why was he even here? Did he follow me because I was very sure that he wasn’t in the restaurant when I first walked in?I smiled warmly at him, praying that this was just a brief greeting and that he was going to leave me alone to eat in peace.“I never knew that you also knew this place,” he said casually, looking around, seemingly lost in its small wonder.“Yeah. My parents used to bring me here when I was little,” I answered, twisting my fingers nervously, praying that he was going to leave any second from now.“That’s sweet. I am sure that they are so proud that you scored such a well-paying job. The hiring process here is very tedious. It took me months of applying before I got my job.”My faux smile faded and I distracted myself with my glass of water. An uncomfor

    Enora:I swallowed and took a deep breath. I wasn’t going to let him make a fool out of me in this place. My day was going so well. Why didn’t he have to come and spoil everything?“Mr. Wright, good afternoon. It is nice to have you here.”He glared from Anthony to me and as though they had some kind of telepathic connection, Anthony called for the waiter to pack his noodles to go and in a few minutes, I was alone at my table.He took Anthony’s seat and as I looked out of the window, Anthony was already outside. He flagged a taxi and soon, he disappeared. Deep calming breaths, Enora. I was furious but being angry at him wasn’t going to solve much. He was just being a relentless mosquito.I prodded my rice. I wasn’t hungry anymore and we all knew whose fault that was.“I thought you said that you weren’t flirting,” he inquired, glaring at me, his jaw clenched and his eyes not leaving me for a second.I shot daggers at him. My lunch break was going so well and now he had to come and r

    Enora:I was stunned. How did he even get to know about the party? You know what? I wasn’t even going to overreact about this. He had crossed the line.I took a deep breath and continued to type away at my laptop. I didn’t bother to look at him.“Didn’t you hear what I said?” he questioned, his voice stern and demanding.“I’ll get off when I am ready to leave. I still have unfinished work.”Through the corner of my eye, I could still see him glaring at me. My heart skipped a beat but I was determined to end this bullshit. I had had enough. He said he didn’t want yet he kept butting into my life at every little opportunity. It was… suffocating.“If you are thinking that you can wait back and head to that party, you have it all wrong, Miss Lopez.”He folded his arms, his gaze still so heavy on my shoulders. No. I wasn’t going to give in.“That party, and whether or not I go to it, is none of your business. You are my boss, not my dad.”“You… Aren’t… Going.”The finality in his voice was

    Nathan:She left and I was alone in her office. I could still smell her scent. It clung to the room and invaded my nostrils. My head was filled with thoughts of her. I couldn’t get her out of my head. Nothing I tried ever worked. I had never had any woman the way I had her.I wasn’t a saint. After the death of my wife, Rose, I had dabbled in a few affairs here and there. I had been with women, I had made them feel things and they always came back, wet, soaking and begging for more.That’s what I felt for Enora in the beginning. Her innocence drew me to her and I was like a moth flying close to a flame. Getting to know her, having her beneath me, moaning and screaming, knowing that I was her first and I was the only one that had ever made her feel this was, it was… it was addictive. I wanted more. I wanted more of her.Now, I was so deep in that I had no idea how to pull away from her. I thought telling her that I didn’t love her would sever whatever ties I had with her, would make me

    Enora:Anthony looped his arm through mine and pulled me through the sweaty crowd. I had never been in a place like this and it freaked me out how the men looked at me so hungrily. A few touched my arm, but I pulled away and tucked closer to Anthony.We reached the bar and there was a loud cheer.“Tony!”He smiled and I stood shyly by his side. I had seen all these faces at work before but I didn’t really get the chance to talk to them. I had spent the day fuming in my office because of Mr. Wright.“Yo, Tony, that’s the new girl? Right?”I waved. My hands shook as I held on tighter to my drink. Why did I feel so awkward?“Everyone, this is Enora, our new secretary. Enora, that’s Jay, from finance, Emily, from marketing, Luke, from Advertising, Gina, from the Legal team and Nicky, from tech and security.I waved at everyone. Nicky raised her glass to me and I did the same. Her appearance was… peculiar, almost goth-like. Did she come to work like that?“Yo, Nora,” Nicky called out, from

    Enora:I grabbed my clothes and scrambled to the corner. Anthony was in the bathroom, standing face-to-face with the men. The one he kicked got off the ground and wiped his face with the back of his hand, his eyes widening with fury as he looked at the blood smear.“You bastard! You are going to pay for that!”I screamed and huddled closer under the sink. Anthony was kicked in the stomach and he reeled backwards, crashing against the wall and grunting.“Tony, what out!” I screamed and he raised his head just in time to see one of the men unfurl a right hook. He dodged it and the fist slammed right into the wall, where his head was formerly.My heart was pounding in my chest, my hands flew to my face. I could barely watch but at the same time, I was peeking through my fingers.Anthony was cornered. The men chuckled and closed in on him like lions cornering their prey.“You slippery little bastard. What’s the matter? Nowhere to run?”I felt faint. I could barely breathe. There I was, cr

    Nathan:She stormed out and I was left alone with Anthony. My eyes bore into him.His face was bleeding. He was an absolute mess but I didn't care. Someone had done something. Men didn't just enter a bathroom to rape someone."What happened to Enora?" I demanded, my eyes narrowing in on him as he raised his hands and took a few steps back."I don't know. She said she needed to use the bathroom and I just pointed her in the right direction."I lifted an eyebrow."And these men?"I cocked my head towards the men that lay on the floor."She was taking too long, and I came to check in on her, and they had her cornered. I swear, I didn't touch her."I eyed him. Tony had been working with me for about two years. He wasn't a liar but something... Something seemed off with him."What did she drink?""What?"I scowled and took a step closer."My question was very clear. What. Did. She. Drink?"His eyes were shifty. He was hiding something."I dunno. We ordered a lot of drinks. I can't even rem

    Enora"Anthony wanted to sleep with me and so what? Why do you care?"I glared at him as he arched his brows in surprise.I took a deep breath and got out of bed, my eyes furious and not leaving him as he looked at me in shock."Why do you care? You said you don't love me, that you can't be with me because of Bridget. I've accepted and I want to see other people. Why are you getting in the way?""Enora, he doesn't love you...""And neither do you," I scoffed angrily, folding my arms across my chest and rolling my eyes. "He is a male, he gets horny and he wants to sleep with me. It happens, Mr. Wright. If I didn't want to sleep with him, I would have told him and declined his chocolate. I don't need you looking out for me...""You almost got raped, Enora. I have to protect...""No, you don't!" I snapped, cutting him off and throwing my hands in the air in exasperation. "I was in good hands. Anthony came and saved me. I was fine, everything was fine but you rushed in, no questions asked

    Enora:All eyes turned to Mrs. Vermont and her mouth clamped shut immediately. I wanted to laugh but I swallowed it and it came out as a nasty croak that made Mrs. Vermont’s eyes darken.She glared hatefullt at me, grabbed her husbands armand pulled him off the stage. They disappeared into the crowd and everyone followed them as they walked to the exit.“Good riddance,” I muttered and smiled warmly at Mr. Wright, eho plnted another kisson my forehead.“Well, I guess we shall continue our party,” the host announced and the party’s lively vibe came back. A slow waltz was playing in the background and everyone made their way to their tables for dinner.“Would you please come with me,” our host said and the De Bances, Mr. Wright and I followed him.I clutxhed Mr. Wright’s arm excitedly. I was happy rtthat we won but even happier that I shut Mrs. Vermont’s mouth up. She was all prim and proper but completely lost it when she realized that she was in last place. It was a picturesque moment.

    Enora:We got to the main banquet hall just in time. There was a lovely murmur everywhere. Not too far away, a couple was talking happily and smiling with the host. There were some paper slips on the stage, and the couple were chatting excitedly amongst themselves.“...can’t believe that they won the competition…”“...heard they paid the host and his firm.”“You’re wrong. They have good ties with the host. That was why they won.”My heart was racing in my chest. Did they call out the results already? Did we win?My eyes searched the hall for sparkly, snobby Mrs. Vermont, and I finally found her standing happily next to her husband, chatting casually with another couple. From the looks of it, she wasn’t overly posh and was doing her usual flaunting of her diamonds.If I wasn’t mistaken, another game was played, and the couple that were chatting excitedly with the host had probably won. I exhaled and felt my tension ebb away for a moment. I guess there was still a chance that I could bu

    Enora:My face burned red and I felt my breath nearly escape my lungs. I pulled myself away from Mr Wright’s grasp and fumbled with my dress, trying my best not to catch the eye of the couple that stood in front of us: dumbfounded and their jaws loose.“Uhmmm… e-excuse us.”I grabbed Mr. Wright’s arm and we hurried out of the elevator. I wish I could atomize and disappear. This was so embarrassing.“Why are you smiling?” I asked with slight annoyance, looking up at Mr. Wright’s beaming face and his bright brown eyes.He stopped and in one swift movement, he grabbed me and pinned me to the wall. My heart was racing. My face was still red, but the thrill of getting caught again made this even more exhilarating.“We can’t do this here,” I whispered harshly. “You are going to get us caught.”“And what is the matter with that?” he asked slyly, taking me in with burning desire, pressing harder to me and inching closer and closer to my lips. “Do you not want to be seen with me?”“I…”The wor

    Nathan:I felt her body tense up and I smirked. Even when she didn’t mean to, my kitten was competitive and it was one of the many things I loved about her.“The winner of this competition is…. going to be announced at the end of the party.”“What?!”All eyes turned to Mrs. Vermont and she cleared her throat and hid her unruly outburst with a smile. I looked down at my feisty little kitten and she was giving her a nasty stare. I couldn’t help but laugh. She was such a character when he wanted to be.“Thank you so much for participating. You may join the others.”We all went down to join the rest of the audience. Mrs. Vermont was trying to keep her act together but her eye was twitching in rage.I heard a light giggle and saw my kitten with her hand over her mouth, smiling and fighting to keep in her next fit of laughter.“Funny?”She looked up at me and her face became serious.“I’m… I’m sorry. I just…”I raised an eyebrow at her and she pouted and exhaled in defeat.“Fine,” she sighe

    Enora:The lively tango music filled the air and Mrs. Vermont was quick on her feet. Her jewelled heels peeked from underneath her dress as she stepped quick and her husband dipped her low, following her movements.She was one with the beat, following the music as her husband dipped her low and pulled her close in a sensual dance that made it look like they were making teasing love in public.The crowd wooed and clapped and I turned away in embarrassment and felt my face burn.“Looking away, are we, kitten?” Mr. Wright teased, grabbing my chin and making me look at him. “Does that dancing bother you that much?”“N-No,” I scoffed, nervously, still unable to look at the dancing couple. The way Mr. Vermont pulled her in close, his lips teasing her neck, his hand sliding up her thigh, it just felt… I mean… they should get a room.The lively sensual dancing continued with eccentric moves and spins that made my head spin.I took a deep breath and watched them and at an interval, Mrs. Vermon

    Enora:Mr. Wright pulled me tightly to him and smiled warmly."Last I checked, me and you make a pretty good team. Want to do it again?"My body shivered in delight. Was that even up for debate? Of course, I wanted to dance with him again."We shall only be allowed three couples to dance together. And I shall draw at random from the box."My spirits slightly fell. I couldn't tell how many people had put their names in the box, but it was very likely that Mr Wright and I wouldn't be picked for the dance.The host put his hand into the box and swirled it around for a bit. My breath got caught in my throat as I watched eagerly and prayed that our names would be called. It felt like a one-in-a-million chance, but still, I hoped for the best."The first couple to be dancing will be–"He pulled out the paper and squinted his eyes."–Mr. and Mrs. Vermont."An elegant couple moved through the crowd and got up on the stage. Despite their masks, I could tell they were lovely and rich.Mrs Vermo

    Enora:He looped his arm and I slipped mine through. He smiled warmly at me and I felt my heart flutter. For the first in a long time, it felt like I was living a fairy tale.He guided me inside, smiling warmly at guests and pulling me close when eyes wandered in my direction.My dress sparkled in the light and I turned heads as I walked by.I could hear whispers and gossip and a few men smiled and winked at me.I stole a glance at Mr. Wright and he seemed to almost read my mind and unlink his arm from mine and pull me close to him from around my hips."Wouldn't want any male thinking that you are available," he said with a whisper to my ear followed by a soft kiss than made many of the oggling male gazes turn away.I smiled. I couldn't explain the joy I was feeling. I felt like a beautiful damsel with my prince charming, walking beside me and keeping wishful eyes away.We got into the banquet hall and I nearly gasped. The ceiling was adorned with jeweled chandeliers that refracted th

    Enora:I stared at myself in the mirror and did a little twirl. I still couldn't believe that I was wearing Versace’s most expensive dress. This was still like a dream.I raked my fingers through my curls and smiled. This was going to be a good evening. I felt it. Something just seemed right. The only thing out of order was the dozens of missed calls and angry texts from Anthony.I didn’t seem to care anymore. Normally I would call him back but my entire body was humming to Mr. Wright. I would close my eyes for a few minutes and I would see that look he gave me, etched in my mind's eyes. Even his voice resonated in my brain, saying that he needed me. It just felt… different.Those words, when he said them, I could feel the yearning dripping in every word. I saw him almost every day but he said them like he hadn’t seen me for a lifetime.“Deep breaths, Enny. No need to overthink it. He probably is going through something very… moving. I mean, he did just have a big fight with his daugh

    Enora:He pressed the button and slid the phone back to me. I grabbed it in surprise and held it to my chest while I looked at his face. Was he mad?His eyes were cold but his face was calm.“I don’t know why you still put up with him,” he said dryly, grabbing my chin and planting a tentative kiss on my lips. I moaned softly and soon burned red as he pulled away and realized that we were still in the restaurant.“Are you jealous of him?” I teased back and he grabbed my chin a little harder.“You should really choose your words carefully, Kitten,” he purred huskily, his eyes travelling down to my skirt. “My fingers still feel twitchy.”I lowered my eyes, trying to not see the smirk on his face as he took in my blotchy embarrassed expression. There was no way that I was going to be able to walk home after a second time.He stood up, took my hand and fiddled with my hair lovingly. His eyes were filled with that same softness from before and it made my heart melt. There was something abou
