2024-10-29 19:42:56About fifteen minutes after witnessing the chaos in the coffee room, I was sitting at my desk, with an employee of mine named Ralp David sitting in front of me. His face was smeared with some blood and a whole lot of guilt.
Outside my office, Stav was waiting for his turn while his girlfriend, Sunshine, nursed his injuries.
As far as my mood was concerned, I was enraged. Never in the past four years had I witnessed a physical fight in my office. It was out of line and needed to be addressed properly otherwise it wouldn't be good for my reputation.
With that thought in mind, I shut the file in my hand and focused all my attention on the bearded man sitting in front of me. "Care to explain?"
"We were talking casually and he started punching me out of nowhere, Miss Montelebalo," he responded.
"Stop lying, Mr. David. It won't get you anywhere. Why did my assistant punch you?" I asked, using my deadliest glare.
"I. . ."
"Don't bother lying

After procrastinating for not one, not two, but whole three hours after waking up, I finally left my mobile and hopped out of my bed. After brushing my teeth, I made my way out of my room to the lounge where Isaiah was busy doing some work."It's 4pm. Did you just wake up?" he asked. "Don't you have any work to do?""You're forgetting, I'm suspended for a week," I said and yawned loudly, stretching my limbs."What's this smell?" Isaiah contorted his nose and tried to identify the source of whatever smell that disturbed him. At the end, his eyes landed on me. "When did you shower last?""The day I went to office, maybe?" Shrugging, I picked up the bowl of dry fruits from in front of him and put a handful in my mouth."That was four days ago," he said in a disgusted voice."So? What's your point?" I asked."My point is that you stink. Go take a shower and do something productive. Maybe that's why Sunshine hasn't visited you for the last

Stav and I, we both were sitting across each other in one of the nicest restaurants of the city, waiting for Antonio Guerrero to arrive. It was Stav's first day back to office after his suspension and on his first day, I received the news that we were being sued for fraud by a local company we had a contract with. Right now, we were waiting to meet a lawyer that Patty had suggested to deal with this issue."Why couldn't we meet him in the office?" Stav asked impatiently."Because apparently, he is a very successful lawyer. We have to impress him if we want him to take our case. That explains the dinner," I said.He leaned back in his seat and ran his fingers through his messy hair. His stubble had grown a bit, giving him a more rugged look. The suit that he was wearing hugged him perfectly, bringing attention to his muscular arms and wide shoulders."Why? Is Sunshine waiting for you at home?" I asked and although I didn't intend to, my voice came out a li

I was trapped between my soft bed and a heavy chest, while a certain pair of lips were busy elevating me to bliss. It was dark in the room and I couldn't figure out what was happening or how we reached there, but even without the light, I knew to whom this scent belonged to.The soft lips formed a trail from my neck to my cleavage, making sure to leave a burning wherever they went. The knot in my stomach tightened until I was panting with need and desire. The throbbing in my nether regions was making my thoughts jumble."Fuck," I groaned when Stav's lips nibbled on my breast."Patience, boss." His deep voice reverberated through my body and sent a delicious shiver down my spine while his calloused hands teased the inside of my thighs and each little touch edged me closer to exploding."Oh," I stifled my moan as I tried to grind my pelvis against him to relieve the aching."Not so fast." He stilled me by placing his leg in between mine while his ton

Butterflies. Some really angry butterflies.That was the only way to describe the situation in my stomach right now.I was doing everything in my power to not rip apart her clothes and take her right there. But Alice wasn't making it any easier with her hands skimming over my back and the urgency in her kiss. Our mouths were literally sucking the soul out of each other, because nothing else would describe the hunger and desire with which we were kissing each other.I knew my reasons. As much as I hated to admit it, I had wanted her for quite some time and now that she was trapped between my chest and the cold mirror, I couldn't control myself. But why was Alice, of all people, discovering my mouth so eagerly and tightening her legs around my torso?My curiosity could wait but my hunger couldn't.Leaving her mouth, I traced a path down to her neck and she sucked a sharp breath. She smelled like a tempting seductress and she certainly moaned like one

Once I returned to my office from the warehouse, I found out that our new lawyer, Mr. Donovan had been waiting for me for quite some time. Stav could have called me but he chose to make him wait, not that I was complaining. The guy had a huge ego and he could use some time to ponder over his behaviour."You needed to talk to me about the trial?" I asked once I settled on my seat behind my desk."Yeah, that too." He leaned in the visitor's chair, tapping his feet on the marbled floor. "I thought we could discuss this over a cup of coffee. I am feeling a little drowsy.""I'll ask Stav to send coffee for you," I said."I was thinking of something a little more cosy." He smirked again."Mr. Donovan, I don't know if you are aware of my reputation but I am not one to mix business with pleasure," I replied as a matter of fact."I don't know if you are aware of my reputation but I am not one to drag a trial. The business between us will be over in a

And then came the day of the trial. And just like Antonio had said, we had nothing to worry about. If I had any doubt about his skills as a lawyer, they got cleared up within the first twenty minutes of the trial and by the time we left the courtroom, I was thoroughly impressed.Same couldn't be said about Stav as he walked by my side to the parking lot. He had an unimpressed scowl on his face, as if he had a stick somewhere deep in his ass."Miss Montelebalo?" I heard Antonio's voice and I stopped in my tracks."Mr. Donovan." I raised my eyebrows. Stav walked forwards, leaving me alone with him."I think you owe me a dinner." He smiled, showing me his pearly white teeth."Do I?" I cocked my head to the side.He nodded sheepishly. "That's the least you can do," he said."I suppose..." I took a deep breath. "I can spare you an evening.""I'll consider myself a lucky person if you do that." He smiled."Tonight, 8pm. See yo

Sweat drops blinded my vision and my lungs struggled against my chest. I had started the treadmill from 6mph, and gradually increased it to the maximum until all I could feel was the harsh beating of my heart. Anything I could do to distract me from the thing that was killing me."Hey, Stav!" Isaiah's girlfriend, Kylie's head peeked through the door. I almost stumbled forwards and cracked my head. Hopping off the treadmill, I leaned against the wall and took some deep breaths to calm my racing heart."What?" I asked, wiping the sweat with the towel."You didn't come for dinner. We had saved you some pasta," she replied."I am not hungry," I said, still gasping."Are you okay?" she asked, stepping closer to me."Of course I am okay," I said almost instantly."It's just that, you look stressed," she said, her almond eyes observing my face keenly."I am not stressed. Why would I be stressed when everybody is happy and having the t

Once Antonio's car stopped in front of the massive mansion, we both exited the car simultaneously and he extended his hand for me to hold. Hesitantly, I laced my fingers with his large ones and we stepped towards the entrance."You will be the prettiest girl in the party," he whispered, lowering his mouth to my ear."Thanks." I chuckled, although I wasn't sure he meant it.Patty had sent me this dress from her boutique to wear at the gala. It was a silk, off the shoulder A-line dress, deep red in color, that cinched around my waist, with a slit that ran from the ankle up to my thigh. I had parted my hair in the middle and curled the ends. Neela helped me do my makeup and I complemented the whole look with my favourite shade of red lipstick and a new pair of heels. I felt like the dress caught too much attention and the few looks I got from random men just added to the misery."Shall we?" Antonio said and we both entered the hall. He himself looked quite d

"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
