2022-02-17 10:08:58"Wow. This place is amazing," one of my colleagues, Simon, said as he gulped the beer. "Who knew we would be spending our Friday night in one of the most exclusive clubs in the city?"
"It's not a big deal. My cousin is friends with the owner so he helped me get the membership card," I said and tipped the waitress.
When Alice gave me the evening off, I told everyone that I'd be joining them to their night out and it was my treat. Now, all eight of us were sitting in a corner booth, drinking beers, eating cheeseburgers and gossiping about work.
"How come you can afford a membership on an assistant's salary? Your parents must be loaded," he asked with curiosity, and I just shrugged sheepishly.
"Don't tell me you guys don't know?" Sunshine interfered. "Our friend Stav here is Christopher Trajano's son."
"Wait. The Christopher Trajano?" Gio asked.
"The one and only," I replied in an unenthusiastic manner. I hated talking about my family because w

Shifting in my sleep, I groaned as I felt a heavy weight on me. Something was crushing me, something heavy and masculine but I was unable to open my eyes due to the pounding veins in my head. My mind went blank as I tried to remember where I was or what happened in the club last night.After a lot of effort, I succeeded in opening my eyes and a sigh of relief left my mouth when I found the familiar ceiling hanging over me. But the relief didn't last long. My insides twisted in panic when the arm around me tightened.Shit.My eyes slowly travelled upwards from the muscular arm that was holding me in place to the face of my probable one night stand. And when I recognized the familiar sharp jaw and plump lips, the panic heightened.Crap. Crap. Crap."Stav," I slowly jerked him."Hmm." He mumbled and snuggled deeper into me. The fruity scent of his shampoo filled my nose and I stilled. His face was inches away from me and I couldn't help but fee

With a large burrito in one hand and beer in the other, I was watching Vampires Mermaids on television when my phone suddenly started ringing. A groan left my mouth when my eyes fell on the name of my boss on the mobile screen. Putting the burrito aside, I picked up the phone and answered it."Be at my apartment in exactly an hour," she stated in her signature voice."Wait," I said in confusion. "Are... Are you going to fire me? I swear I didn't take a peek when I was changing your clothes. What other proof do you need?""I am not firing you, idiot." Her annoyed voice came from the other side of the phone. "Be here. We have some work to do.""But it's Sunday," I mumbled under my breath, staring at my ragged clothes. "I could have other plans.""Do you have any plans?" she asked."No, but...""Figured." Saying this, she cut the call, leaving no room for an argument.Well, here goes nothing.••&bull

It was a regular morning. As soon as I entered the elevator, my eyes fell on Alice standing in a corner, scrolling on her mobile screen. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, with a few locks framing her face. She was wearing a red silk blouse with black pants that accentuated her long legs."Good morning," I said as I went to the opposite corner. She lifted her head to look at me and a frown appeared on her forehead."What happened to your hair?" she asked.I stared into the mirror at the top of the door to check what she meant but couldn't find anything. "What?" I asked her."It is a mess," she replied."Oh no, it's not a mess. It took me fifteen minutes to create this just-out-of-bed look." I cleared.Rolling her eyes, she walked towards me. "We have a meeting and I am not letting you enter the conference room with that hair. Lower your head."I did as she said. Once I bowed my head, she extended her hand and ran her fingers through my

As soon as I entered the restaurant, my eyes landed on Dustin, waving at me from a corner table. Once I reached in him, he pulled out the chair for me and I sat down. He then seated himself infront of me and passed me hischarming smile."You look beautiful." He smiled and a muscle in my chest clenched. He wasn't supposed to say things like that, not when we were trying to adjust as friends."You too," I said and then coughed to clear my throat. "I mean, you look handsome, not beautiful."He chuckled at my words and then picked up the menu card. "So, should we order something? The waiter has been staring at me for quite some time," heasked."Sure. One steak, medium well," I said tothe waiter."Same for me," he said to the waiter and then turned his attention to me.It felt weird sitting in his presence, knowing we weren't together anymore. He was my first serious boyfri

As soon as I stepped out of Alice's private plane, the crisp air of L.A greeted me. I had been planning to come here for a long time but never found the right time or occasion. And now, my first time here was merely a business trip."Why are you buying a hotel all the way over here?" I asked, giving her a brief glance. Her hair was swaying with the wind and some dark locks were falling on her forehead, making her look ethereal. The large pair of sunglasses was hiding her beautiful eyes from me."I like this city." She shrugged and then made her way towards the car that was here to pick us up."Why do you want to buy a hotel anyway?" I asked, following her."You ask too many questions, Stav," she replied and sat inside the car."Forgive me for being a little curious," I mumbled as I entered through the other door and soon, we were on our way.The whole car drive went silently until we finally stopped in front of a massive hotel building.

The bed of the hotel was so cozy and warm that one couldn't help but sleep till late. That explains why I woke up at 10 in the morning, instead of my usual time which was before sunrise. A loud yawn left my mouth as I hopped out of my bed and slipped into my slippers.Doing my morning routine, I lazily walked out of my room and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee reached my nose. I turned my head towards the kitchen counter where Stav was busy making black coffee for himself. He looked completely engrossed in doing that and didn't even acknowledge my presence."I need coffee." I said as I plopped on the couch and massaged my head with my fingers."Here." He returned with two cups few moments later.Taking one cup out of the tray, I inhaled deeper and let the rich aroma calm my anxiety. My focus was on the coffee when I felt Stav's eyes on me. When I turned my head towards him, he had already looked away.Lowering my eyes, I realized I was still in m

Alice's driver dropped me at my apartment at almost midnight. If it was any other employer, he or she would have told me to take the next day off because I just sacrificed my weekend but it was Alice. She specifically told me to be at the office on time, and not a minute late.My kind boss, ladies and gentlemen.Mentally and physically exhausted, I entered the elevator, dragging my suitcase with me. The seconds seemed to stretch into minutes as I finally reached our floor and made my way towards my apartment.Inside the apartment, a familiar scene greeted me. My roommate Isaiah, cuddled with his girlfriend Kylie, as they both watched a romcom on the LCD screen."You both were in the same position when I left. Please tell me at least one of you left the house during the whole weekend." I exasperated, collapsing on the beanbag chair in one corner of the lounge."Why would we do that when we can spend the whole weekend in each other's embrace?" Isaiah

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, a familiar silence greeted me. I looked around to find Stav, who usually rushed towards me the minute I left elevator, but he was nowhere to be found. Confusion dawned on me but I ignored it and stepped forwards.While passing through the corridor, my eyes fell on the girl that Stav often hung out with. Sunshine, was it?"Good evening, Miss Montelebalo," she said as she noticed me walking towards her, her voice giving away some of her fear.I was about to speak when I noticed a ginger guy listening at us attentively. "Don't you have some work to do? Were you hired to eavesdrop?" I eyed him warningly, and he scooted back in his seat.I then turned my attention to the blonde girl standing in front of me cautiously. "Where is Stav? Is he in his office?" I asked."I don't know, Miss Alice. I haven't seen him today," Sunshine replied.This further heightened my confusion. Nodding, I walked back to my offi

"Let's call it a day," I said, leaning back in my seat and stretching my arms. "Do you want me to order some food for you, Mr. Trajano?" Celine asked. "It's fine. I'll go home and eat with my wife." I said and stood up to leave. Once I reached the elevator, my eyes fell on Sunshine, standing inside with her hands linked with Thea. Apparently, after dating me, Sunshine reached this conclusion that she wasn't into men anymore. That was a pretty big blow to my ego, not that I didn't deserve it. "Stav." She acknowledged me with a nod. "Sunshine." I passed her a professional smile. The whole elevator ride was somewhat awkward, after which I went straight to the parking lot where my driver was already waiting for me. Almost one year ago, a month before my marriage to Alice, we decided to merge both companies. I took over as the CEO of Montelebalo-Trajano enterprises while Alice decided to head the board. It was the only thing feasible, becau

"What the hell is your doing? Stav, untie me right now." I groaned."Patience, love," Stav said and guided me out of the car. I had been blindfolded for the last fifteen minutes now and despite my utmost displeasure, all I got in response was, "Patience.""Where are you taking me?" I groaned as I felt my heels sinking in the ground. He held me straight by wrapping his arm around my waist and led me forwards."I am going to tie you up and have my way with you," he whispered in my ear and I felt a shiver down my spine. I heard him chuckle at my reaction, after which he untied the blindfold and rolled me around to see where he had taken me.In front of me was probably the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. We were on a dark beach, dimly illuminated by a few fire lamps dispersed here and there. The sun had already set and the moon was casting its beautiful shadow on the blue water. There was a table set near the shore, two chairs around it facing the sea.

The minute I saw Dustin dressed in a three piece suit, I immediately realized that this was a mistake. It was never supposed to be a "friendly" dinner. And then there I was, dressed in blue jeans and a button down black shirt, with my hair tied back with the help of a bandana."Where are we going?" I asked him nervously."Your favourite restaurant. Delilah's eatery," he said."I don't go there anymore, since I came to know that the owner, Delilah is homophobic and racist," I replied and an awkward silence prevailed inside the car."Oh, I didn't know that. Where do you want to go?" he asked.Somewhere casual, so this won't turn into a date."Let's go to McDonald's," I offered.He laughed out loud at this."I am serious. I am craving a cheeseburger," I added."Wait, you are kidding me. Right? We can go to some nice burger place. What about Emily's?" he asked."Fine." I sighed in defeat.There was no way out o

It was almost 2am. After taking a bath and fueling myself with caffeine, I returned to my home office to continue working. With this new decision I had made, things were going to be really hard for the next few months. The work load was going to triple, but I would happily do it if I could be with Alice at the end of the day."You are still working?" I heard Dad's voice. He was standing near the doorframe, watching me with curious eyes. Mom and Dad came to visit me a few days ago but I couldn't find enough time to spend with them."Yes, Dad. I still have these reports to review," I said."You shouldn't have made the decision of moving the head branch to Philippines right now. Things are going to be really hard for you. You should have given yourself some time to settle in," he said."Don't you think I know that?" I passed him an exhausted smile. "I need to be with her, Dad. It's killing me not being near her.""You love her, don't you?" He chuckled

Another month had passed.Another month of drowning myself in work to avoid facing the fact that I was all alone. Another month of being heartbroken, and mentally and physically stressed. Another month of trying to distract myself by taking different hobbies like Pilates and gardening in my free time.I missed Stav, so much that it was killing me. I remembered two weeks ago, when I finally caved in and ended up calling him. We talked for about an hour and that's when I realized how correct he was. Listening to his voice made it harder to stay away.Sundays were comparatively better. I spent the afternoon in the academy and the rest of the day doing different chores. I had befriended all the other students in my class and it was refreshing because they didn't know me as the tyrant CEO.As far as work was concerned, there was nothing to talk about. I had grown used to having Stav in the office and in his absence, the whole office felt dull and drab. It was
My Lady, My Boss Chapter 50
I woke up with a strong arm tightly wrapped around me and a heavy weight on my chest that turned out to be Stav's head. My eyes searched for the clock which showed that it was almost midday, which meant we had slept for twelve hours straight. That was the most I had slept in days and apparently, so had Stav."Hey." I brushed his hair to wake him up. My cheeks were flushed at our position, the way our legs were intertwined and his mouth was resting in the valley of my breast, using me as his own personal cushion."Stav," I whispered, grazing his back with my fingernails.He stretched on top of me and then lifted his head, staring at me with his pearl green eyes."Come with me," he said, giving me a peck and then rolling off me. "I want to wake up like this daily. In fact, take me with you.""What about your company?" I said, playing with the dark lock that had fallen on his forehead."Ugh. Why do you have to remind me?" He groaned, kissing my

Once the elevator door closed behind Stav, we were alone in the small space with nowhere to go. He stepped towards me, his signature scent filling the air. I took a step back, recreating the space between us but he seemed to have ignored my attempt and continued walking forwards until we were standing forehead to forehead."I am sorry," he whispered and his breath tickled the skin around my mouth."Well, so am I." I flashed him a humourless laugh. I was angry, so angry that I wanted to rip his stupid clothes off. What the fuck? No, that's the opposite of what I wanted. For all I cared, he could wear another suit over this one."I didn't want to hurt you," he said."Well, you did a pretty good job at that." I glared at him, crossing my arms in front of my chest before his heat could seep through me and lower my defenses."Let me explain why I didn't call you back. It will make you hate me less." His voice was filled with grief and desperation and a

Ignoring Alice when she wasn't around was hard, but ignoring Alice when she was around me was my own personal hell. The minute I saw her, all the reasons for ignoring her sounded so trivial and all I wanted was to go to her and listen to her voice.For the last two months, I had been anxious. My sleep wake cycle was disturbed, my head ached most of the time, my heart beat faster than it should, my stomach was a mess. I thought it was because of the extra work stress but when my eyes landed on her, a sense of euphoria swirled through me and all the anxieties were settled, all the aches were cured.I wanted her to talk to me, to scold me, to glare at me, but all I got was a cold greeting and it left a bitter taste in my mouth.I couldn't exactly blame her for the cold shoulder she was giving me. After all, after being AWOL for two months, I stole a project from her the day we met again. And Alice wasn't someone who took such things lightly.I tried to expla
My Lady, My Boss Chapter 47
When Stav stopped responding to my texts and calls, a series of weird emotions happened. The first day, I was agitated. I thought he was probably busy and made excuses to myself for his lack of response but it did nothing to calm my racing heart. The second day, I was anxious because I thought I did something to earn that reaction. The next day, I was worried for him. I thought something had happened to him but his Facebook profile said he attended an event last night. So apparently, he was alive and kicking. And then the day after that, I was furious.It had been two months since then and it's safe to say, I was still furious at him.Most of the time, I kept myself busy so I wouldn't have to think about him. Because whenever I did, my hands itched to go to him and strangle him for his stupid behaviour. He avoided me like a plague and the worst thing was, I didn't even know why.Right now, I was inside a cab, on my way to a meeting from the hotel. Kaye was sitti
