Luckily, my wish was granted—she’d taken Nora’s place in catering to my room.Nora’s a fine ass, no doubt. But she’s not as compelling as her.Her curves were more prominent than Nora’s. And her voice—damn, it did me dirty.I actually wanted to make a move on her, but I held back—not wanting to give the wrong impression.The way she shut her eyes like she wanted it too...Her waist in my grip, and there she was, just a breath away.I wanted to—but I didn’t.I didn’t want to scare her away.She lingered a second too long when our skin brushed. Her chest rose and fell, like she was trying to keep herself in check. I noticed. Every damn second.The faint scent of jasmine on her skin hit me harder than it should have.She glanced up, lips slightly parted, as if... as if she was daring me.But I turned away, cursing myself under my breath.The board meeting starts in thirty
Helen’s POVYesterday, my thoughts were wild, but I had to lock them away. I’m here to earn a living—nothing more.I got out of bed, ready to start my day with work vibes only. I rushed into the bathroom, had my bath, and got dressed in my uniform—ready for the day.Before leaving, I decided to give Ashley a call.I was supposed to call her last night, but my imagination did me dirty. Foolish, how on the first day of seeing Sebastian in person, I was already tripping.But not anymore.I reached for my phone and gave Ashley a call.On the first ring, she answered.“Hey, big sis. Good morning,” she greeted, her voice laced with joy.“Good morning, cutie. How was your night?”“It was short, but okay though,” she responded.“How so?” I asked.“I was up till the early hours reading.”Yes. I’m impressed.The fact that she was also giving her all to achieve her dreams brought a proud smile to my face.“Alright, study well. I’m off to work. If you need anything, send me a text.”“Okay. Take c
Elena's POVTall. Brooding. Dark-haired, with an expression carved in marble. His suit molded perfectly to his body, and the air shifted as he stepped in, commanding presence without a word.Mrs. Hartley rose to her feet and wrapped her arms around him. “My darling.”He returned the hug briefly, then his gaze moved—and locked onto mine.My stomach fluttered.For reasons unknown, my heart skipped a beat. His eyes, perfectly carved eyebrows, dark hair, red small lips, and a perfect jawline...He is beautiful.He’s way more handsome in person.I’ve never seen beauty like his.It’s safe to say he’s pretty. I mean, those chiseled features did justice to his divine face.Sebastian and Mrs. Hartley exchanged pleasantries for a while—while I just stood there, admiring him.Joyful screams filled the living hall as Mena caught sight of Sebastian.I was stunned. So she could be joyful?I’m truly amazed.She threw herself on him for a hug, and he hugged her tightly.“You were coming home and didn
Helen's POVI stood still, nodding to every command and apologizing to every reprimand. Shattering sounds echoed through the hallway—it had to be Mena. No one else threw tantrums like that.My wounded foot did me no pity as I ran up the stairs. Pushing my way through, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The room I’d arranged perfectly a while ago was shredded into a mess. Shattered perfume bottles and vases all over the place.What the hell?And there she was—Mena.Sitting still like nothing happened. Like she didn’t just waste hours of my hard work.I got this job three days ago, which was perfect for me—until I met her. Mrs. Hartley is a warm-hearted woman, no big deals or reprimands from her. But Mena? It seems she’s a weapon fashioned against me.When Lisa gave me a breakdown of each of the Hartleys’ wants and needs, I found Mena’s expectations quite dreadful.Started with a shattered teacup, then shattered mirrors. Who is she anyway?Her words were like a two-edged sword, but I dared no
