Ezekiel rearranged the chess pieces and prepared for another game, but Elena declined and proposed a game of Monopoly instead. Despite playing for over thirty minutes, she still ended up losing to him. Refusing to accept defeat, Elena suggested playing Scrabble instead, a game she excelled at. However, despite her expertise, the outcome remained the same - a loss for her."Quit looking at a CEO like that. My resume is pretty impressive, you know!" He said."How does your resume add up to being a game wizard?" She remarked with frustration."Ahem, so you admit that I'm awesome?" He gave a dignified look. Elena's ears became red. She didn't know when she became absorbed at the moment and got carried away having a good time. She forgot about the fact that she was just in a bra. "I'm tired of losing. Even if I'm keeping you company, isn't this just too one-sided?" "Then what do you suggest? Although winning continuously does feel good" Ezekiel said with a satisfactory smile on his face
Immediately she stood from him, he turned his head and spoke."You should thank me for absorbing all your cold," he said with a wink and she felt flustered. "Good Morning," she greeted without looking at his face. "Morning, you slept quite well. Since you feel quite uncomfortable, you should leave" he stated. He acknowledged that most respectable women would feel bashful being intimately exposed to a man for hours on end, particularly when they were not romantically involved. Yet, Ezekiel felt a renewed sense of calm; he had never imagined that slumbering beside Elena would be so restorative. It had been he who had carried her to the bed, her unconscious body clinging to him as he navigated their way through the night.*******As soon as Elena arrived at her room, she hastily secured the door behind her. Thankfully, it seemed that nobody was stirring just yet, or at least nobody was loitering in the corridor outside. Her room was conveniently located adjacent to Ezekiel's, and she
Smith was determined to get Ezekiel to divulge more about his feelings towards Elena, even if it meant teasing him a little. He suspected that there was more to Ezekiel's admiration for his secretary than mere professionalism, but he knew better than to try and manipulate him with reverse psychology. Despite this, Smith couldn't help but smile and chuckle to himself as he was almost certain that Ezekiel harbored some affection towards Elena."What's so funny?" Ezekiel asked."Oh, nothing… I was just imagining how Ironic it would be if.. if Brown became a liability to a woman in the future, contrary to his own belief of a woman's worth" Smith answered and stopped laughing immediately. He put on a more casual countenance."Hmmmm" Ezekiel squinted his eyes, trying to figure out what Smith was up to."Pffff…. As if! Even your imagination is ridiculous, it's comparable to your stock managerial skills" Brown stated."Of course my skills are impeccable. I'd take that as a compliment," Smith
As they reached the wall, the steward came to a halt and gingerly pulled at a tuft of grass, revealing an intricately crafted door made entirely of ornamental blades. With a gesture, he signaled for Elena to proceed unaccompanied, while he carefully maintained his grasp on the verdant portal.As she crossed the threshold, it seemed as if Elena had traversed into an entirely new realm; a vast array of structures lay beyond the fence, well beyond what she had originally believed to be the compound's periphery."Please follow me," another steward who had been resting on the wall said. Elena was startled yet again.'What's the deal with these stewards? Do they have a knack for being creepy?' She said in her mind with an annoyed look.In stark contrast to the limited amenities of the previous segment of the compound, which consisted solely of a cabin, dining area, and pool, this new area was teeming with a multitude of edifices. The steward escorted Elena to a particular building, and thou
Elena was taken aback by Ezekiel's unexpected prowess on the dance floor, completely unaware of his hidden talent. While she was impressed by his skills, a twinge of envy crept in as she longed to be the one gracefully executing those dazzling moves by his side."You don't even know my name," she stated as the dance continued, placing her hand on his shoulder."All I needed was the dance but aren't you Alicia?" He replied."Wow. I'm honored that you know my name, George must have let it slip" she said, twisting her lips to the side.Unbeknownst to them, they had become the center of attention, captivating the gazes of everyone around them. In the eyes of onlookers, they were the epitome of a perfect pair, seemingly meant for each other. As Ezekiel noticed the many lingering stares, he gracefully ended the dance with a dazzling move, earning a round of applause. It was then that Alicia deftly slipped a note with her contact information into his pocket and whispered some parting words i
With a tantalizing slowness, Ezekiel undressed Kenzie, savoring every moment of their intimate encounter. His touch was electric, igniting sparks of pleasure that coursed through her body and left her gasping with desire. As he teased her nipple with his lips and tongue, Kenzie's impatience grew palpable, but Ezekiel remained determined to take his time and make the experience last. Kenzie, unable to resist the pleasure he was bestowing upon her, pulled his head closer to her chest, urging him to suckle on her breasts. With deft hands, he worked to remove her shorts, all the while continuing to lavish attention on her every curve and contourKenzie's body yearned for his touch as she yearned for a passionate session of oral pleasure, but Ezekiel had other plans. Instead, he lifted her, and she held on tight, showering him with kisses as they made their way to the bathroom. After a while, she reluctantly released her embrace."Baby!" She uttered with lusty eyes, indicating her desire t
Brian wasn't surprised at how Ezekiel spoke which was why he would always try to tease or annoy him. Elena stood up and followed her boss."What a rude way of speaking even to such a gorgeous secretary, seems you still need some coaching from me," Brian said quickly so he could frustrate him more. Ezekiel's eyes narrowed at Brian before he turned and left. Elena followed Ezekiel out of the room, but she could hear Brian's laughter ringing behind them. She found herself admiring Brian's carefree nature and his easy way of talking to Ezekiel. However, her mood soured as soon as she stepped into Ezekiel's office."Sit down!" Ezekiel said immediately he sat down."Um… Okay" she sat down without any gesture of complaints since she was going to sit anyway without his consent."I have some files from Bernard which I'll need you to sort out in advance for the meeting I have in less than a week," he stated and began to arrange some documents from the separate drawer beside him."How long has
Ezekiel…. That jerk" Bella said."Why do you speak like I had a tragic end?" Elena flicked Bella's cheek."Ouch" Bella let out."Hehe… here comes the drama" Trisha was delighted with fun."Anyway, long story short. Mr Brown offered him lots of ladies in exchange for me but…" "Oh my God, Ezekiel!" Bella yelled."Stop interrupting you little twerp" Trisha flicked Bella on the forehead. She was annoyed since it felt like Bella was doing it on purpose. "Um.. I shall continue. Soooo, Ezekiel got angry with Mr Brown. It was my first time seeing a big shot venting out to another one, Ezekiel looked so bagasse at that moment" Elena said with her expression looking like that of someone who had fallen in love."Oh my my, I knew it. Ezekiel definitely has interest in you" Bella stated. She reasoned that no business man would have any form of fallout or issues with their partners over a secretary."If you still don't take advantage of this then when will you? I'm sure he must have wanted to be
Ezekiel stopped in his steps, since he had decided in his heart to change a bit to become accommodating to Elena and maybe other people.Brian started to record the whole voice note and conversation the moment he walked in unknown to Ezekiel."Mtcheww…. What do you want?" Ezekiel took a deep breathe."Nothing, just checking up on your sorry ass. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll have to help your ungrateful self" Brian locked the door behind him.Elena told Trisha about Ezekiel's voice message and they listened to it together several times."Who would have thought that he would let down his arrogance and even send a message with voice notes" Trisha said."I know right and he could actually take a major blow to his career if I don't help him. I don't think he's lying""Yes but let him suffer a bit more before meeting him" Trisha laughed,
Ezekiel listened to the news as Cain watched it from his Ipad.He heard the voice of Stefan- the representative presenter and a news caster for the current party in power."Uhn… she looks familiar, I think I've seen her somewhere. Maybe in a picture or something" Cain stated as Ezekiel raised his head up, tired from battling with the sudden complete realisation of his love for Elena and his business which was at stake."Shit, how did this happen. You're done Ezekiel" Cain half yelled signalling him to come over.Ezekiel rushed over to his dad and the person he saw took him aback. It wasn't weird for Stefan w
Ezekiel was already home after looking for Elena initially. He took a deep breathe and sighed now that he was a step closer to reconciling with Elena. Time passed by slowly for him as he couldn't wait to get her back.About twenty minutes before the appointed time, he was already at the eatery waiting and looking at the door every few minutes even though he already told the security to let her in when ever she arrives.Elena was just in time, the security let her in . Thanks to checking the entrance frequently, Ezekiel spotted her as soon as she stepped in. He quickly moved to meet her and lead her to the reserved table."You look stunning" Ezekiel broke the silence. He didn't expect her to dress in such a charming manner just to meet him, he thought that she wanted to impress him but nonetheless he liked the sight he was gazing at. He didn't even realise that he missed her so much till he saw her."Thank you" she
Ezekiel felt like punching his dad's face till it becomes swollen. Just when he was thinking of what to do about Elena, another headache decided to introduce itself.Another knock interrupted his thoughts again."Bernard?" He asked."You wish" A tall and healthy looking old man entered with confidence, looking around the office.Ezekiel wasn't prepared for who stood in front of him at the moment. "Dad??" He almost yelled."Hehe…. Yes" Cain sat on the couch closer to the wall. "Ah.. you came alone, how humble. How did you even make out time to get here?" Ezekiel frowned."That doesn't matter, now call your precious Elena to come make me coffee" Cain ordered.Ezekiel's eyes widened at the fact that Cain knew Elena's name then he remembered that his father could find out most things as long as he wanted to, he wasn't a big politician for nothing after all but what would he tell him now that Elena had left DreamState? Ezekiel decided to go with the flow first."Well, she's currently not
Elena still thought of him as shady but there was no way she would actually refute such an opportunity.'In your face Ezekiel' She said in her mind, still exchanging smiles with Stefan."I look towards working with or for you" she smiled.Stefan almost let a laugh escape, he loved her humour."Alright then, I'll be needing your contact. I have your address already" he stated."Oh cut it, you probably already have my number" She folded her hands, looking directly in his eyes.Stefan spread his arms out in a smug manner."It can't be helped, I'm good but you're daring" he looked back at her."I can be daring and many other things when I need to be" she said with her hands still folded."Alright then, I guess there's no reason to keep you any further""Um, so about the office?" She inquired."I'll send an explanation to your number, you don't really need to be at the office. I mean not everyday, just don't bother much. I'll full you in" he smiled and stood up.Elena was enjoying his humo
Elena was dressed, ready to check in at an interview according to an online information she got. She wished her garrulous neighbours would spill business updates again soon, she chuckled and headed out. As soon as she got out of the gate, she saw a car right in front of house. She looked around, wondering who would just park on another person's lawn.A well dressed man in fitted suite highlighted the car and walked towards her. She moved back and put her hands in her bag immediately to make it seem like she had a taser or something."Hey hey, don't be wary" he immediately lifted his hands to the air."How ridiculous, you pulled up in front of my house. Started walking towards me without saying a word and you expect me not to take measures?" She said decisively."I'm very sorry, I wasn't simply excited to meet you that I didn't know what to say yet than to advance" he rubbed his hair a bit and laughed shortly.Elena carefully observed him, aside his cute face and the executive manner
Kenzie had fully moved in with Hudson. She had enough money to last her for few more years without having to work thanks to Ezekiel always reimbursing her account with fat loads of credit but moving in with Hudson was something she agreed to."Each time I remember that night, it gives me chill. I really wasn't expecting it" Kenzie said, steadying Hudson's face towards hers as she laid on him."It's fine, I was there too you know. I hate too say this but even though he only wants an fwb ship with you, he's quite reasonable and calculative. He won't just act on impulse unless he's under rage " Hudson said."You got all that from just meeting him once? You didn't even see his face clearly plus the conversation was short" Kenzie replied."I've had to deal with different clients and I can say that I have an eye for analysing people. He was angry enough to pick a fight with me but he kept quite to avoid fuelling his anger" Hudson said with confidence.Kenzie felt impressed that Hudson could
Ezekiel's eyes opened up as if he had seen a new light but it was now leaving his presence. In his conceit, he decided to let her go but for some reason, his heart ached with violently. He felt like he had done something he should have never even thought of, talk less of actually doing it. He face palmed, stood up and with one angry swipe, he hit every document on his table to the floor. His pride took over again as he thought of Elena and Kenzie as ladies below his status but they were the ones that abandoned him, he couldn't take it in."Why's all these shit happening?" He yelled atop his voice."Shit.. fuck!" He gripped his hair tightly when someone knocked the door."Go away, I'm in no mood to see anyone" he said and moved to lock the door from behind but the person already came in."I wasn't asking you prick!" Brian said folding his arms, the manager of DreamState- Bernard had called him as soon as he noticed Ezekiel's unusual behaviour."You! What are you doing here?" Ezekiel s
Ezekiel felt like he had to satisfy his curiosity so he followed Kenzie secretly the next day and it truly was Leyla's place but he still perceived Kenzie was on to something secretive, so he put on an interesting behavior to make Kenzie feel more comfortable until the weekend. Kenzie said she was going for another party and Ezekiel smiled with content. She felt like everything was smooth and Ezekiel was too busy playing games to bother about her.As dusk settled upon the land, Ezekiel donned a hoodie, a subtle furrow forming on his brow. Hidden within his garment was a remarkable creation of his own making—a custom malware nestled snugly within Kenzie's phone. This cleverly designed program, like a digital compass, possessed the ability to track her whereabouts as long as the phone's battery endured, an ingenious creation fueled by his determination to stay connected.Kenzie arrived at the agreed location with Hudson—a beautiful ornamental garden reserved for the privileged few. It
