One night stand with my boss Chapter 69
Lorie's pov.I sat beside my mother as we waited in the waiting room outside the operating room for any of the doctors to come out and tell us anything at all concerning the surgery.‘how long has that been in there?’ I asked my mother taking her hand in mine trying to make her worry less or offer her strength whichever I do not know for certain. Perhaps, I was trying to tap from her strength.‘for about six hours now I think.’ She replied giving me a small smile while covering my hand with hers.‘Have you had breakfast?’ I asked her resting my head on her shoulders.‘not yet.’ She paused. ‘I don't feel like eating now.’I nodded not attempting to force her to get something to eat. I didn't have much appetite for food myself.‘how was your trip? It was short I know but tell me about it.’ She asked her eyes twinkling with excitement. One would think it was my mother who had gotten married instead of me. But looking at her front up close, she just wanted a distraction. She didn't want t

Lorie’s povWe had to leave the hospital since Elle was going to be under critical examination by the experienced personnel in the post-operative care unit and we couldn't go in even though we were family. We stood outside the hospital bidding goodbye to my mother. She was finally going home after spending almost every day for two years watching over Elle in the hospital.‘Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?’ I asked again holding her hand with my left hand not wanting to let her go.‘come with me to do what?’ she asked releasing her hand from my hold.‘keep you company perhaps?’ I said not sure if I was asking or stating my reason.‘keep your husband's company.’ She replied smiling.‘Are you sure you'd be okay alone?’ I asked again tugging at her bag.‘yes, I will. Stop worrying about me Lorie and go meet your husband at home. You guys are newlyweds, you need to explore.’ She winked at me pulling her bag from my reach.‘Can I board a taxi for you ma?’ Tom asked my mother
One night stand with my boss Chapter 71
Lorie's povI slowly opened my eyes as I felt the presence of someone in the room with me, it was Asher. He was staring at me with his pretty eyes.‘You are back, welcome.’ A smile found its way to my face. Something about him always makes me smile when I’m with him.He had this weird look on his face as he gazed at me.‘I would never let anyone hurt you again Lorie.’ He murmured I almost could not hear him. He still had this weird look on his face.I nodded wanting to ask him why he was staring at me so intensely but just as I opened my mouth, he pressed a kiss on my lips.‘I asked you out for a date, why did you leave me hanging?’ He asked raising himself above me.‘I didn't leave you hanging.’ I frowned a little while He raised his brow.‘You didn't?’I recalled seeing his message and I was excited and was about to reply to him when Tom interrupted by opening the door.‘I did, I’m sorry. I was about to reply to you but I got interrupted.’ I apologized. Asher smiled and pressed anot
One night stand with my boss Chapter 72
Lorie's pov.I woke up tangled in the arms of my husband. My face was on his chest and he smelled sweet. Unable to resist the urge, I hugged him tighter and sniffed his scent.‘You like how I smell?’ his voice was sounding a bit hoarse. Embarrassed from being caught sniffing like a dog, I blushed and buried my head in his chest. He giggled and wrapped his arms around me.‘good morning my love.’ Damn! I love his morning voice it makes my legs tingle with excitement.‘good morning Asher.’ I replied turning so that my head would rest on his chest. My ear was directly on his chest and I could almost hear his heart pound fast and almost very hard. It was unusual for the human heart to beat that fast and hard. It only happens to me when Asher gives me one of those smiles. Those smiles make me wet and hungry for him. It makes my heart pound like that. But why was Asher's heart beating like that?‘hmm Ash-'‘what will you like for breakfast?’ Asher interrupted as though he knew what I wanted

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

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 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 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
