As Stella and I make it back to the hall, she expresses her dissatisfaction to me.“Mr. Moore is really something else. How can he expect you to drink on his behalf. Asking a woman to drink on his behalf is so ungentlemanly. Does he not have respect for women anymore?” A soft sigh escapes my lips as I guide her towards our table which is right next to Christopher’s. “Remember, I am his staff so he definitely doesn’t see me as a woman,” I quickly tell her and then want to bite my tongue next.Although Christopher has been very well-behaved with me, I doubt he is physically attracted to me. I have never once caught him staring at my chest or making any sexual jokes.Even if it’s too early, but there should at least be a subtle hint that he sees me beyond his personal assistant, but so far there is nothing therefore, the reason for my doubt.“Emily, stop defending him,” Stella whispers as I pull out a seat for her before doing the same for myself. “Remember that whatever you tole
As Grandpa asks about Emily, everyone turned their attention to me, looking interested in the matter.A soft sigh escapes my lips.I know for a fact that Emily intentionally stepped aside when she saw my family approaching, and now they are asking after her.Although I don’t know exactly what Emily is thinking and why she had left, I’d like to stick to the rules.“Grandpa, today, Emily is my Personal Assistant who I have no personal relationship with,” I say with a straight gaze and fortunately, they all get the hint.“Chris, we understand,” Tessa says with a brilliant smile. “But she still needs to greet us, and I need to meet my best friend.”Tessa’s statement has me lingering my gaze on her. I know what she’s trying to do, and I don’t blame her for being overly excited.Emily mentioned that she tried to set both of us up before the marriage arrangement even came up, so I understand. Even Tessa had mentioned it to me herself, and I wish she would contain her emotions.Seeing
I understand what is going on here quite well. Barbara thinks she can speak to me with all level of disrespect because she has her father by her side.And I don’t really blame her for her attitude because she wouldn’t have this level of guts if my own father treated me like his actual daughter.I lead Barbara to the stage where Stella is waiting in a room alone. As soon as we arrive, I shut the door and cast my glance at Stella who is taking her time to take in Barbara’s appearance.“Good evening, Ms. Stella,” Barbara greets with a fawning smile, but Stella doesn’t respond to it.For a moment, I think Stella doesn’t know where to start from until she opens her mouth and only then do I understand that she must’ve been looking for a better way to put her words.“Barbara, what or who did you attend this inauguration as?” Stella asks.Barbara’s brows furrow in confusion. She didn’t quite get the question.“Did you come here for a fashion parade or what? As Transcorp’s employee, is
Barbara dares not be open with her rudeness and hatred and for me thanks to Stella’s presence.I don’t know what this young woman takes me for, but she better pray to her ancestors because once Christopher and I establish a cordial relationship, I’m going to deal with her real good.Oh, Yes! I’m so going to abuse my power and take revenge on those that has been after me.Stella punishes Barbara by deducting two months of her salary which isn’t even important to her given how rich her father was, and giving a sitewide announcement about the warning in our employee’s group mail.Stella also asks Barbara to write five copies of the guidelines for TRANSCORP’s employees.“Ms. Collins, I hope you will write them yourself as I will have the time to go through them. Also, take this as your last warning and stay away from the cameras for the rest of today’s event.” Barbara nods silently and leaves when Stella dismisses her.“How come I’m not satisfied with the punishments I gave to her
Immediately as I finish tidying up with my meetings, I go straight outside the building and get into the backseat of my car.As soon as I secure my seatbelt, I turn to the woman who has her gaze on me.“Do you have something to say?” I ask her. “Well, out with it.”“Where are you taking me to?” Emily asks in a sultry tone.I remove the bowtie around my neck and ask the chauffeur to head home before turning to glance at her. “I’m taking you to my private residence.”Instantly, Emily’s eyes widen in shock. “Y-Your are taking me to your place to spend the night?” she stutters, leaning her back towards the door.“If you are not comfortable with it, I can send you back to your family’s residence. I won’t force you, the choice is yours.”Emily continues to stare at me wide-eyed as if trying to register my statement and what I actually mean.Although I don’t mean any harm by taking her to my private residence, I don’t clear her conception up as I’m enjoying her reaction right now whi
An awkward silence ensues in the room as Emily rubs the cotton silk fabric of my loungewear in her hands. “Come, let me show you to the bathroom,” I say, leading the way and her soft footsteps follow behind me. I know a lot of thoughts are going through Emily’s head at the moment but soon, she will come to understand that this is my way of teasing her. I deliberately took these subtle actions, hinting at something I had no plans about. “The housekeeper has already drawn a bath for you,” I say to Emily as I dip two fingers into the bathtub. “And it’s warm.” I turn to her, straightening my back. “You should take a bath now.” “Thank you, Mr—I mean, Christopher,” Emily thanks me, meeting my gaze as heat rise to her cheeks. She looks like she’s looking for a way to tell me to leave, but I’m actually unbothered and pretend not to know. I go on to show her a few things and finally, when I have nothing else to talk about, I leave her to go on with her bath. I am tempted to ask Emil
Emily lay naked in the bathtub, asleep. And for a moment, I do not know where to turn to. She must be so exhausted as I didn’t expect that she would fall asleep while having a bath. I’m being thrown in a dilemma as I don’t know if it’s proper to step forward or not. The housekeeper is still serving the dishes, and she might not be able to carry Emily out by herself. Finally, coming to a decision, a take one step forward and then another until I’m standing right in front of the tub, looking down at Emily’s naked body before me. The water is clear enough to reveal her ample chest to me. As soon as my eyes lands on her twin peaks, my dick twitches and a breath gets stuck in my throat. Quickly, I turn away and rub my face with my palms. “Christopher, calm down! This is not right.” I can’t believe that a day would come when I will give myself a pep talk after seeing a woman naked. I’m normally not like this which leaves me in confusion. Have I been starved so badly of sex that I no
“Your girlfriend isn’t joining you for dinner?” My housekeeper asks me I return to the dining room without Emily.I pull out a chair for myself and let my gaze take in the dinner spread before responding to her question. “She has gone to bed. It’s just me.”The housekeeper nods and pours a glass of water for me before excusing herself.A deep sigh escapes my lips. Now left alone, my gaze wanders back to the sudden kiss from Emily. I wonder if she will remember what she did by the time day breaks.~***~Emily’s POV.I wake up with a splitting headache as soon as day breaks. And I end up with instant regret the money I try to sit up on the bed.A groan escapes my lips as I massage my forehead, taking in my surroundings.“Just how many glasses of champagne did Christopher have me drink?” I ask myself as I carefully get off the bed and head for the bathroom, but not without touching the walls in other to steady myself.It takes a lot of effort to brush my teeth and wash my face a
