Rock was surprised to see his secretary standing by the shore. He never imagined her waking up this early in the morning. A smile slowly crept up his face, as he saw her slender body looking so stunning in her flowery white gown. Her blonde hair tied into a ponytail."Good morning, Ms. Whites." he greeted her as he got closer to her. His breath skipped a beat when she slowly turned and flashed him a warm smile, her beautiful blue orbs sparkling with delight. "Good morning, sir." "How was your night?""Hmmm.... lovely" she hummed happily, taking in the fresh air that washed over her. And Rock couldn't help smiling as he watched her. They suddenly fell into silence as they stared at the weaves, as it gently calmed and refreshed their soul. "I can see you love it here," Rock suddenly said."Mm," Katherine nodded, tilting her head to glance shyly at her boss before focusing on the vast water. "Did you know that Jason was going to take us to this place?""No, sir" Kather
In a luxurious hotel room, a lady was lounging on the couch. There were some sliced fruits on the table beside her, her gaze fixed on her phone as she scrolled through the internet.It was Rose."Argh..." she sighed in frustration, flinging her phone away in annoyance as she walked over to the window. She folded her arms to her chest, anger vivid on her face as she stared into the distance.These days her life had been nothing but lonely, boring and bitter ever since Alex disappeared from her life. She must get him out of jail, no matter what it would take. And she's been doing her best, even if it meant offering herself to all the influential men in the whole country as long as they could... they could help her out. But so far, there has been no luck at all.After sharing the story that she'd made up about Alex being her cousin with them, they somehow always find out the truth, refusing to help her with the excuse that they don't want to mess with Rock."You people are so wicked
KATHERINE"What is it?"We all looked up at once to see Beth, who had the expression of someone that'd seen a ghost."Did he scold you like always?" Camilla instantly asked. "Did he get mad like usual? What did you do?""He told me to get out after dropping the document. I don't know what I did to him, it's like he doesn't like to see my presence at all. If he hates me that much, why did he employ me in his company?" Beth said, sadness thick in her voice and face."Remember, he wasn't the one that employed you." Camilla quickly reminded her while Beth nodded, a pout on her lips. "You can direct your anger at the HR department." Camilla laughed. I was quiet as I stared at the two. I couldn't help reminiscing about the past. I was always feeling like this in the past. Rock scared the hell out of me with his harsh words, and made the work unbearable for me. I did consider quitting several times, but I just couldn't. "I'm afraid of entering that office," Camilla said, as they turned
KATHERINEAfter a while, he finally looked up at me, flashing me his seductive smile which had me shifting uncomfortably on the couch. I just returned the gesture with a shy one. Why is he doing this to me?If only he knew how much his action is affecting me, the way I keep giggling deep inside like an excited kid.He stood up and walked towards me, looking so hot in his black shirt. And I couldn't stop myself from getting more excited with every step he took closer to me. My heart was already pounding loudly in my chest. Well, it wasn't my fault that the black shirt hugging his strong frame outlined those sexy muscles, making him hard to resist. Gosh, my boss is a sexy God!And right now, I can't help but feel jealous of that shirt, wishing to hug him that way and show him just how much I love him. I couldn't even look straight into his eyes, fearing that I might be compelled to reveal my true feelings for him. I had to force myself to focus my twitching lust-filled eyes on his fa
NARRATORKatherine couldn't contain her happiness as the time to get off work gradually approached.When the time finally came, she quickly gathered her stuff into her bag and bid the others goodbye as she fled the room, shocking her surprised colleagues. She headed for the garage where Rock picked her up. "Why do you look so surprised?" Rock asked, noticing the way Katherine kept staring bewilderedly at him. It was obvious that she had something in mind, but for unknown reasons, she preferred to keep quiet. But her curious gaze gave her out. "Why are you driving today?" Katherine couldn't help voicing her surprise. "Where is Otis?""He's probably busy with his family. What? You don't want me to drive you?" Rock chuckled, glancing briefly at her before focusing on the road. "It's not like that. Just that I have never seen you drive before," she replied with a shrug. "Just relax, Miss, and let this humble driver take you round the city.""I don't think humble is a word that could
"Why are you so concerned about who your husband gets together with? I can't believe you followed them to this place.""He didn't even see anyone to replace me apart from his secretary. How could he stoop so low? He's acting like a man without class." Rose grumbled, clearly irritated, as she glared at her husband's car that'd just zoomed out of Katherine's house with bitterness.She'd been keeping an eye on the two right from when they were at the restaurant to Katherine's house. And instead of getting anything to pin on the man, what she'd been getting was pure jealousy and regret."You don't have any right to judge the man, young lady; if you knew so well about class as you claim, you wouldn't have cheated on him with his PA in the first place. Rock himself is the definition of class, but you left it for nobody like his assistant. How dare you preach about class?" The woman beside Rose scolded her as she rolled her eyes in mockery of the hypocrite beside her."Nora Jones, I don't kn
Jason had made sure to lock his door properly while leaving for work in the morning, so who could have access to open it except his own mother?He sighed as he slowly turned to face the woman."Mrs. Miller," he whispered."Anybody hearing you call me this name would think that I'm a stranger to you." The woman smiled.She looked so beautiful in the peach-colored gown that adorned her tall, slender figure. Although she was already in her early fifties, she still looked young as elegance radiated off of her.However, no matter how beautiful she looked, Jason could still see the sadness in her eyes. No amount of make-up could disguise the truth, which was obvious to him. She was only hanging on in that marriage, and although she wanted to be rescued, she had no choice but to hold herself back as her punishment for mistreating her own children."Mom, what are you doing here?" Jason asked, taking a seat on the couch."Why do you look like you have seen a ghost? Can't I visit my own son
The word 'tread' carefully has been ringing a bell in Rock's head ever since he lazily crawled out of bed.How could he have the strength to get up when he'd been blessed with a wonderful dream?Yes, he'd dreamed about Katherine, his secretary.But when he thought of meeting her in reality, he didn't hesitate anymore, as he'd quickly bathed and left the house, not even bothering to have breakfast.Sighing deeply, Rock shook his head. His feelings for her are getting enormous, and it's scary.But what could he do? He couldn't just deny himself this euphoric feeling. In fact, the thought of her is like an intoxicating wine, and he didn't mind drinking this fine wine. She's slowly growing on him.Now, he could smile again.Rock shifted in his position beside the window with his hands in his trousers pocket, his deep, charming gray orbs looking so lost in thought as they stared down at the bustling city. A hint of a smile was tugging at the corners of his alluring lips. His dark hair was
