One night stand with my boss Chapter 43
Lorie’s pov.Things were almost going smoothly, I mean, I was re-employed to work at Hardin's GroupandCo. I was happy. Henry was arrested, his bad deeds were exposed, and he had gotten the clip from our company from one of the guys that Asher had fired the other day. Turns out the guy was threatened with his family's lives and he was forced to manipulate the CCTV files and give him the flash. Asher had gone to the station himself as a victim the day Henry was arrested. He gave his testimony on how Henry threatened him with fake evidence after infiltrating his company and threatening his workers.I woke up the next morning to the sound of my alarm. I rushed into the bathroom. If you love where you work, you'd be excited to go to work every morning.I did my makeup and selected my clothes carefully from the wardrobe. I picked a new black pencil skirt I had bought earlier this year. I was saving it for an important occasion, turns out this was it. I chose a yellow top and a black coat o
One night stand with my boss Chapter 44
Lorie's pov.She was fuming in anger. ‘are you still seeing that low class girl?’ her eyes flickered to me standing in a corner.‘mom, that’s none of your business.’ ‘it's my business. The media calls you irresponsible even after seeing you on the news again with Sabrina. They tag you as a playboy who can't keep a woman.’ Her hands were trembling. She was really mad.I was waiting for the best opportunity to escape the room and most of all, her wrath. But as fate will have it, my legs refused to move even when I willed it to.She dropped her bag on the chair as if ready to cause a scene.‘mom, what the hell are you doing?’ ‘even if you don’t want Sabrina, although I approve of her, you can marry someone else but she must be a person of stature.‘mom, you've said that countless times and I recall telling you that now isn't the time for marriage!. She sat on his chair. She ignored him as if he never said a word.She turned to me, her eyes raked down from my head to my toes as though
One night stand with my boss Chapter 45
My stomach was filled with butterflies as I walked home from where Asher had dropped me close to my house with a bounce on my steps, I was happy. For a very long time I have never felt like this. It was refreshing, overwhelming and I felt relaxed. I knew I was sleeping with my boss which is so wrong (professionally and even due to the fact that I have a boyfriend) and I shouldn't have but I won't think about anything else, especially since it makes me happy. Indeed, sometimes it's the simple moments in life that bring us the greatest happiness. Hearing Asher say he missed me almost opened the floodgates of happy tears but I did a good job holding back the tears. We don't have a defined relationship but I knew without doubt that there was a spark between us. Ever since the day we first met, I had felt it.My mind involuntarily went back to what happened today. A blush covered my face and my hands went up to cup my warm cheeks. We freaking had sex in the office!I was becoming too much
One night stand with my boss Chapter 46
I woke up with a slight annoying irritation on my face. Sabrina had doused hot coffee on me last night! I rushed to the mirror hoping it wasn't getting severe. Thanks to my caramel skin, the coffee had left only a red line on my face that will soon leave and can easily be covered with makeup. Garrett has done more than that to me so there was no cause for alarm. I entered the bathroom to perform my morning duties. When I was done I proceeded to mask my face with makeup. When I was done, I decided against it not wanting to cause more irritation or infection in the affected area. I went back to the bathroom and washed my face clean. I decided to wear a face mask since it was a little below my left cheek. Checking myself in the mirror one more time, I left the room.‘good morning Garrett.’ I greeted him as I walked past him in the kitchen. His hair was ruffled. He had just gotten up from bed. He barely wakes up early. I wonder what he's up to this early morning.‘morning.’ He grumbled. H
One night stand with my boss Chapter 47
All the blood seems to drain from Asher's face. I understood why. The last time she was here wasn't very pleasant and she promised to be back but we hadn't taken her seriously then. She wanted Asher to get married.‘who let her in?’ He asked very coldly turning to the cluster of workers that were gathered. No single soul dared make a sound, not even me.‘I just fucking asked a question and I hate repeating myself. Who the fuck let her in?!’‘Please forgive me, sir. She said she was your mother and that she would fire me if I didn't let her in.’ I turned toward the direction of the voice. Surprisingly, it was the nerd. Her hands were clenched together in a pleading motion and her knees were on the ground with her head bowed.You wouldn't blame her for letting Eloise in, she had that ability to make everyone obey her. I felt bad for her.‘I. I told her you weren't on the seat. They asked where the keys were kept… I told them not knowing that.. that they would go there.. but they.. they
One night stand with my boss Chapter 48
Asher pov.I purposely decided not to go to work. I was avoiding my mother she has made it a habit of coming to my office every day to harass me. Since that day she came in with Sabrina and she cried after slapping me, she had kept on coming every single day for a week. I needed a goddamn break from her naggings and marriage talk.So what if her friend is now a grandma?Who cares?Maybe she does, but I don't.I can't afford to have a wife now or even kids. I won't be able to focus on work.Without being told, I am a workaholic. I stayed behind even when all the workers had gone home to their families. I am married to my work. I want to prove to everyone who thinks that my being a player means I won't do well with my company.I lay on my bed ignoring my ringing phone. It has been ringing for a while now. Not bother to check who was calling because I was so sure it was my mother. When it stopped ringing, I silenced my phone. She had given me 10 missed calls and I had a call from the man
One night stand with my boss Chapter 49
Lorie's pov.I stared down at the puddles of rainwater formed by the constant rains for the past few days. The rain was hindering me from getting to work. It had always been raining and it was getting annoying really. It's not as if I hate the rain or something it's just that the rain was becoming too much and what was worse, I had left without my umbrella. I waited as the raindrops slowly became drizzles and finally came to an end.I had woken up with an ominous feeling in my stomach. I couldn't help but feel as if something was wrong or was about to happen, it was the same feeling I got the night before our dad died. Elle was doing well now. She was feeling better as she could now come out of her room and even go to the garden. Was something wrong with Asher? Or Was it Me? Just to be safe, I will be extra careful today.I shuddered as the thundered clapped loudly after the flash of lightning. It reminded me of the glare Asher's mother had given me yesterday when she snatched my phon
One night stand with my boss Chapter 50
Lorie's pov‘I'm sorry to say that I'm not able to approve your loan request. There are a few reasons for this, which I can explain in more detail if you'd like. However, I'm not able to make exceptions to the bank's policies. I hope you understand.’Just great.‘yes, I do.’‘do you want to explain why it-'‘No!’ I inhaled deeply before continuing‘I mean, it's fine please don't.’ I wasn't ready to hear anything like your student loans and other loans you took out haven't been paid completely so you can’t take out another one.Where do I start from?The bank has refused to grant my loan and I don't know where to start.After staring at Elle's unconscious form for like 30 minutes, I went straight to the bank to borrow what I could but my loan request was denied. I dialed Garrett's number. He was my last choice. He picked at the second ring.‘hi Garrett.’‘what's the issue?’ He asked sounding as though I had disturbed.Not knowing how to start I kept quiet for some time.‘look, I’m b

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,
One night stand with my boss Chapter 79
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
One night stand with my boss Chapter 78
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
