One night stand with my boss Chapter 18
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

On getting to Asher's home, it was different from what I remembered. This house was smaller than the one I woke up on the day I got drunk.‘You like It?’ Asher asked, referring to his house. He had gotten out of the car. He was walking towards the trunk to take down our bags. ‘yeah but this wasn't the house I remember.’ I replied walking to the trunk to help him with the bags.‘it's fine.’ He replied holding the bags himself.‘You moved?’ I asked, wanting to know why he left his beautiful mansion for a smaller one.‘yeah. My mom broke into my house. I wanted to escape her.’ He took the bags and started walking towards the door. ‘let me help you open the door. What's the password?’ I wanted to help since he was holding our bags.‘97865342.’ He replied.‘Does it have any meaning behind It?’ I asked, punching the numbers. People normally have reasons behind their house passwords. For some, it can be their birth date, for others it can be the date of an important family event. Garrett u

Asher pov After the meeting I went to my office and called the tech guy. He still couldn't get the footage for that day.‘Do you think it was deleted?’ I asked"It wasn't sir. If it was, I would have been able to restore it. It wasn't deleted sir.’ ‘So why do you think it can't play out what happened that day?’‘I think it might have been deactivated that day sir. Someone must have turned off the camera that day.’It confirmed my suspicions. Someone from the company was involved in Henry’s sham. I had spoken to Mr Lee Yang the other day and he had advised me to hold a meeting and threaten them. That the rat is bound to quiver in fear. He however told me not to reveal what it was that Henry took. At the meeting I tried searching their faces for hints of fear or anything that would satisfy my suspicion but I found none. Their faces were filled with questions and worse confirmation that I wasn't capable of handling my father’s businesses. Henry has been quiet for now. Who knows wh

Lorie's povI must be out of my mind.Why did I hug him?Perhaps because he had looked so lonely he could use a hug.Worse of all I giggled.Arrgg why did I hug my boss? We had become a bit closer than before since our return from Dubai, but that didn't change the fact that he was my boss and I might get into trouble for being intimate with him.I retrieved the call.‘You can let him up, Miss Cynthia.’ ‘alright. You can go up now.’ She said to Henry. I hung up.I sat down arranging the files on my desk not wanting to pay any attention to Henry when he came up.‘nice to meet you again Miss.’ His voice was just as I remembered ‘boyish.’‘welcome Mr Kingston.’ I replied after trying to pretend that he didn’t exist.‘don't act all cold and distant. The last time I checked we danced.’ He gave me his boyish grin showing off his dimples.‘last time I check it didn't end well. Moreover my job is being threatened I wonder who's responsible.’ I returned his smile, giving a very fake smile sh

When I got home, the house was noisy. There seems to be a party going on. The music was blaring and I could hear the screams of ladies and guys enjoying themselves in their drunken state. I knocked knowing I'm wasting my time. He wasn't going to hear me. I turned the door knob and thankfully the door gave way.I walked in trying to avoid bumping bodies. The air was filled with the smell of drugs, vomit and alcohol. I wrinkled my nose to avoid inhaling the offensive odor. I spotted Garrett on the couch with two ladies massaging his naked chest while one sat on his lap grinding against him. I shook my head. I really wasn't going to sit on that couch again.On getting to my room I opened the door without warning and I regret ever doing so.‘what the fuck! Can't you knock.’ The naked man on my bed pulled the sheet around his waist for cover. I turned my eyes away avoiding the stark naked woman laying on my bed.‘hmm this is my room. I don't deem it fit to knock before entering my room.

The traffic was horrible coupled with horns and shouts from drivers. I wasted 40 extra minutes on the road and got to the office late. The heat on the bus combined with the stench of sweat was unbearable. At this point, I wished to have my car. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. The man sitting beside me reeked of alcohol as though he had a wild night and dressed up this morning for work without proper cleanup. He was trying his best to start a conversation with me, not minding the fact that I was by no means interested in a chitchat.‘It's quite busy this morning.’ He started. ‘yes.’‘You know, being your own boss is kinda chic, you know.’ He said again. But then he was dressed in a suit and his ID showed that he was a government worker.‘hmm.’ ‘where do you work?’ ‘around.’‘are you vast in the business sector?’I shook my head hoping it would pass my message across that I wasn't interested in talking to him. He continued without minding my lack of interest.‘okay.. You

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
