One night stand with my boss Chapter 13
ASHER'S POV.As I drove into my garage, I got an international call from the city of Dubai. It was Omar, my soon to be partner.‘Hey man.’ He has been a friend since our university days. We were both heirs to our family business groups.‘Hey dude. How are you doing?’ He asked. ‘Good man. So what's up?’ ‘When do you board your flight?’‘tomorrow. So we can make it on time for the meeting on Monday morning.’‘oh I forgot you have always been scrupulous with time. I was thinking perhaps you might fly in on Monday morning.’ I nodded. Trust Omar to make sure everything is intact.‘You know you should have just asked your secretary to call me.’ ‘Nah. I don't let him handle critical matters like this. And moreover I have missed you a lot, Asher baby.’ His voice became corny as he drew the baby.‘hey!’He laughed.‘See you tomorrow man.’ He said then hung up.I walked to the door only to find the locks changed and the door was unlocked. Carefully I walked in. Who dares to come to my ho

LORIE'S POV I sat facing the mirror still wondering why Garret would ask me out for dinner. We were in a relationship, yes but our relationship was practically dead. He cheats and I cheated also. There's no love between us. Our relationship is more like a provider and receiver. He pays for Elle's bill and in return I obey his every demand. Whatever he hopes to achieve with this must not be good.I did my makeup and proceeded to apply my body spray. I was dressed in a knee length gown my mother had gifted me for my birthday last year.‘aren't you done yet?’ Garrett’s head popped into my room. He was obviously getting impatient. ‘I am done. Let’s go.’ I picked up my bag and hurried after him.We drove to a French hotel with silence in the air. He had reserved our seats earlier. While we sat, a waitress looking like a Barbie girl came to take our orders.‘Good day sir and ma'am, what would you like to order?" She asked‘I will take one of your expensive wines. Could you make a recom

I got home from the hospital very late and exhausted. I was too tired to do anything. Thankfully I had arranged my things earlier today.Garrett wasn't home. I remembered the money I had spent at the bar earlier, it made my eyes teary.I went to the fridge and took out a beer and a bag of chips to drown my anger while I waited for him, all the walking had made me hungry. I walked to the living room, turning on the television. Losing my appetite for the chips I concentrated only on the drink. I got another bottle.Lorie, remember that it was this drinking that resulted in you having a one-night stand with your boss of all people. I shouldn't drink, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. But I feel too depressed and angry to sleep.I had to wait for Garrett to come home so I could confront him and I could not do that while I was sober. Soon I was on my third bottle and Garrett wasn't home.The time was 11 pm and my flight was scheduled for 8 am. I needed to sleep yet I had to talk to

‘Where are the parachutes?’ my boss shook the air hostess passing by.‘Be calm sir. Everything is under control.’ She was giving him a panicked smile.‘don't bloody tell me that!’ his voice made her flinch. ‘The engine of the plane is on fire and we all might die. Yet you tell me to remain calm! How can you use a plane without thorough check up? Are you fucking going to take care of my company? Where the fuck is the captain?’‘s.. s.. sir I don't know.’ Suddenly she burst out crying. Not knowing what to do with a wailing female, Asher let go of her instantly. Our plane was about to crash. My heart kept on thumping. I couldn't keep calm. I wasn't ready to die. Even if I have to eventually, it wasn’t on my to-do list. As if the plane could sense my fear, there was a turbulence.I didn't say bye to mom or Jasmine. Poor Elle, who would take care of her? Who would pay her bills?He turned to me. ‘don't worry my heart. I will take care of our child no matter what.’I nodded.‘Wait what C

Asher immediately pulled away from her. The rest of us turned our faces away pretending we didn't see anything. However, I couldn't stop the feeling of jealousy that crawled into me. Not minding the way he pulled away from her, she blushed.‘You left so suddenly that night. I was wondering if we could..’‘Don't ever try that again.’ His voice was colder than I have ever heard. Her face turned pale but he continued, ‘I don't remember who you are or when we met but be careful not to cross my path next time.’ He walked off. Judging from her shocked look, she must have hooked up with him once, since rumors said he became a womanizer after his fiancée left him at the altar. Not wanting to be at the end of his wrath I walked quickly after him trying to shake off the feeling of being jet lagged. At the meeting, the business deals were finalized. It seems like they have had a lot of meetings prior to our coming here. So we practically just signed the contract while my boss spoke in hushed

Asher's pov.I went straight to my office after giving my secretary the day off. She had insisted on coming with me but I refused. She deserved to rest and moreover, she had looked like hell when before we left for Dubai she could visit the doctor on her day off. The way she stared at me when she assured me that she was by my side stirred up something in me. She made me want to trust again. She made me want to open the door I had shut since Sabrina left me standing alone on the altar. Lorie was innocent, she was pretty, however she always looks like she's carrying the world on her shoulders yet she still chooses to assure me that she's on my side. Having a day off was a luxury I couldn't afford at the moment. In my quest to raise the sales of the headquarters and expand the business Henry decided to ruin my hard work.I was determined to catch that impostor that sold off my company. It was certain that Henry won’t have possession of any of the files or documents except someone to be e

Lorie’s pov I stared at him as if he had mysteriously grown horns.Did I hear him correctly?‘yes. You heard me right. Let's go pick locks.’ He said before walking ahead of me.‘is it time for lunch?’ He asked‘lunch break is over sir.’‘Do the tech guys come often to work?’ ‘not all the time. But at least two or three of them are always around.’‘find some replacement for all the tech guys when we get back to our office.’ ‘Yes sir.’I walked with him to the elevator. My legs were aching from all that running up the stairs.We walked to the elevator and he pressed the button to the floor where we were headed. I arranged the hem of my skirt that had gotten folded during my flight up the stairs. He turned to me and was about to say something but the elevator opened and more people joined us so he kept quiet.We got out of the elevator and walked towards the room. Word must have reached the computer guys that the CEO was there because the door was wide open, the monitors were working

We froze in each other's arms.The knock continued.‘Asher!’ Sabrina’s voice was becoming louder so were her knocks. Thankfully the glass was not transparent. She hadn't seen us.He let go of my waist and walked to where his phone sat.‘Asher are you really going to keep on fucking that bitch!?’ she screamed. I could hear her voice clearly though the door was locked. She will soon at this point scream down the whole place. Then it hit me. If I could hear her, then people around could too. The news will spread around that I was sleeping with my boss. But thankfully she hasn't mentioned my name yet.I turned to Asher. He was dialing a number.‘This is Mr Hardin, get two of your strongest men here, something needs to be removed from here immediately.’ He said. ‘Sir? Are you really going to have security drag her out?’ I hated her guts but I didn't want to see her humiliated like that. It will definitely bruise her ego and increase her hate for me.‘yes. I have enough on my plate now. I

TEN YEARS LATER.‘Dad, Jasper won’t let me kick the ball.’ Eliza my three-year-old girl said with her face stained in tears.‘Jasper, don’t be mean to your sister.’ Asher called out to the boys who were busy kicking the ball trying to score a goal against each other. We were seated on the lawn enjoying the evening view and the sunset.‘Eliza can’t even kick the ball, she’s always on the way.’ Jasper complained frowning his face.‘then teach her how to.’ Asher said sternly.‘come, Lizzy, I will teach you.’ James the older twin said holding out his hand for Eliza.James was the kinder twin, he was nice to a fault. Not just to his sister but to everyone. He took that trait from me while Jasper was more like his father. He may be mean at times but he loved his sister to death. One time when Eliza was ill, Jasper cried while holding the doctor’s coat to save his sister. He is the type likely to fight and bully people who mess with his sister. He’s the only one allowed to mess with her.Eli
One night stand with my boss Chapter 80
Lorie's pov.Two weeks later.‘the stakeholders have concluded that the expansion of the enterprise to Japan should continue.’ One of the directors said.‘that was what I expected to hear.’ Asher said with his pen in his mouth. We were having a board meeting with the heads of departments, managers, and directors of the group.Last week, Asher had proposed that one of our departmental stores should open a branch in Japan. The board of directors asked for some time to think about it. They argued that the store might have a hard time prospering because of the difference in language. Asher insisted that wasn’t a problem since they could employ Japanese citizens who understand the English language to be in charge of the sales.‘the expansion of the stores to Japan will commence with immediate effect.’ He turned to the director of stores.‘Can you speak Japanese?’‘no sir but I will try my best to learn.’ Director Charles said.‘don’t bother, that will take too much time since you are old,

Lorie's pov.‘You’re ready?’ Asher called from downstairs.‘almost.’ I shouted back shoving my hair into a bun and reaching for a slipper to wear. We were on our way to the supermarket to get some groceries for ourselves and Asher had insisted on getting some provisions for Mom and Elle also, so we were on our way to get the items. I hurried downstairs with my purse under my arm. I sighted Asher sitting on the sofa dressed in a white V-neck polo and denim Jeans. His hair gleamed as the sunlight from the window reflected on it. He raised his head from his phone in my direction.‘mine.’ His eyes were filled with admiration as he stared at me. Butterflies as always found their way to my stomach when He stared at me in that manner and called me his. I walked to him and wrapped my arms around his waist in my embrace, snuggling into him.‘I love you, Asher.’ I murmured in his ear sincerely.‘I love you too Lorie.’ He smiled and kissed my lips.Leo suddenly leaped from the chair to Asher's a

Lorie's pov.We walked along the beach with large goofy smiles on our faces but mostly mine.‘how did you do that?’ I asked linking my arm with Asher's.‘do what?’ He asked in return.‘The sky writing thing.’ I replied.‘Oh that, you like it?’‘yeah, I do. They freaking spelled my name in the sky.’He laughed.‘that's the work of a skywriter. I can do more for you if you’d like.’ He said pulling us to a stop and pressing a kiss to my lips.‘aww.’ I blushed.‘umm, can I ask you a question?’ his free hand went involuntarily to his head again. I am starting to think he does that only when he's nervous about something.‘yeah go ahead.’ I replied.‘I sounded so cheesy earlier right?’ His smile was nervous too.‘You want me to be sincere right?’ I turned over so that I faced him.‘yeah, I guess.’‘yes you did, but I absolutely loved it. I love every part of you.’ I pressed a kiss on the tip of his nose.‘You looked so cute and adorable.’ He pouted.‘I’m not cute.’‘aww look at that pout.’ I
One night stand with my boss Chapter 77
Asher's pov.I woke up feeling energized and having a good feeling about today. I stared at the sleeping figure of my wife. She looked so pretty even while she was asleep. Her chest heaved slightly as she breathed while she slept. It’s no joke that Lorie is a pretty woman. We may have met in a very compromising situation, but I still don’t regret spending that night with her. If I’m being completely honest, ever since then, a part of me yearns for her. At first, it started with wanting her body, then it became wanting to see her, followed by craving her attention, and then I began wanting to be with her. Lorie came to me just when I concluded that I was done with love and women, just when I decided to close my heart to anything affection. Lorie brings peace to my wounded soul. Her determination to do something and go the extra mile for people was just top-notch.The truth is that even while I had proposed a contract marriage to Lorie, to avoid getting married to Sabrina, a part of me
One night stand with my boss Chapter 26
Lorie's pov.‘I told you that no one who touches what’s mine go unscathed didn’t I?’ Asher's voice dripping with honey whispered in my ears making me feel hot. He had said so and today he proved it.Flashback to yesterday when I got back from the hospital and dinner with my mom, I waited in the garden patiently for Asher while occasionally tossing something in my mouth to chew and watching John pick out the disturbing weeds from his cabbages.‘do you like gardening?’ I asked my eyes following his every move as he bent down, grabbing a handful of weed and pulling it out from the soil.‘yes, I do.’ He answered wiping the beads of sweat that formed on his forehead.‘that’s so nice.’ I replied stuffing my mouth with popcorn.‘Yeah, when I first started working here, I was always bored and I felt useless. I never once liked sitting Idle. So I asked the master if he would like to own a garden, he didn’t live here then so he just gave his go-ahead.’ He looked around before using his hands to
One night stand with my boss Chapter 75
Lorie's pov.I spent all day watching movies and eating my ice cream with Asher occasionally calling me to check up on me. Feeling tired and jobless, I decided to visit Elle. She was still unconscious and in the post-operative care unit. I Searched for my mom’s contact on my phone to call my mother. She had been visiting Elle every single day. She picked on the second ring.‘hey, mom.’ I said immediately she accepted the call.‘hi Lorie, how are you doing?’ she asked in return.‘I’m fine. What about you?’‘I’m doing great. How's your husband?’ she asked.A smile involuntarily crept to my lips.‘he's fine. He went to the office.’ I answered.‘I’m on my way to see Elle, wanna come?’ she asked.Bless her.It was as though she read my mind.‘yeah let me go get ready, I will call you back in less than twenty.’‘right, dear.’ With that, she hung up.I rushed to the bathroom, took a quick bath, did my business, and hurried out. I selected a black jumpsuit, sprayed a little amount of perfume,
One night stand with my boss Chapter 74
Lorie's povI lay on the bed with tears running down my eyes and snot down my nose. I tried holding my sniffles to prevent my cries from being heard. Who said love can’t hurt? Love hurts really bad. My eyes were swollen from crying for so long but I couldn’t stop the tears from gathering and dropping from my eyes. I stared at the running figure of the man in search of the girl who was hell-bent on ruining his life but for the sake of the love he had for her, he kept on forgiving her unforgivable acts.‘Lorie, are you seriously still crying?’ Asher asked turning to me.That only increased my tears and I began sobbing like a baby.‘but it’s just a movie, it's acting.’ Asher said almost whining.‘I know. But it perfectly depicts the painful reality of love.’ I whimpered.‘You know it's not real, it’s just-'‘hush.’ I placed my finger on his lips to shut him up as the man held the lady’s hand and pulled her in for a kiss.‘aww, that’s so sweet.’ I was smiling with tears smeared on my face
One night stand with my boss Chapter 73
Lorie's pov.I climbed down from the car feeling apprehensive and nervous. I dreaded seeing Garrett. He was like a nightmare I would do anything to avoid. Speaking of nightmares, mine stopped ever since Asher and I started sleeping together in the same room. Something about his arms made it easier to sleep and dream about only him.I cleaned my hand against my trousers for the umpteenth time. My palms were sweaty and shaky.‘babe? Are you Okay?’ Asher asked walking up to me.‘Oh yes, I’m fine, just a little nervous.’ I tried controlling my breathing as I felt it accelerating.‘don't worry, he won’t see you. I won’t let him come close to you if he mistakenly sees you.’ He took my sweaty palms in his. ‘I’m here for you babe, you don’t have to be strong, I’m strong enough for us, all you have to do is to lean on me.’ I felt so grateful to Asher so I squeezed his hand in gratitude. He didn't know what those words meant to me. His words told me that I am not alone anymore, and that I now h
