"What are you doing?" Hudson asked as he grabbed Annette's hand tightly under the table to the point where it started to hurt.

"You're hurting me, let me go!" Annette whispered under her breath as she struggled to get her hand out of his hold.

"Mr. McKenney, you're already on thin ice, you should give her a chance to help you because right now I'm contemplating giving you this deal or not." Adam said as a tiny smile formed on his lips.

"What could she probably say that could change your mind? She is just a secretary!" Hudson asked and Annette immediately felt her anger grow, she wasn't just a secretary, she had a business degree but life was not fair to her, so she had it locked up safely in her box, until the day she found a job.

"Really? It's funny how she works for you, but you have no idea what type of asset you have under your roof." Marcus said, and Annette felt her cheeks grow hot as she avoided his gaze.

"What are you talking about?" Hudson asked, his confusion evident in his

    The living room was filled with the soft sounds of the TV as Jane sat on the couch, completely engrossed in her novel while eating dome bags of chips. The peaceful afternoon was suddenly interrupted when her phone vibrated on the coffee table. Wondering who could be calling, standing to her feet and going to pick it up, confused by the caller ID showing on the screen, it was from Cassie's school. Ugh! What did they want? Jane muttered to herself as the phone connected."Hello?" Jane answered, hoping she wasn't sounding annoyed."Hello, may I speak with Miss Zachary? This is Cassie's school calling." The female, on the other end of the phone, said as Jane wondered why the school wanted to see Annette."Miss Zachary isn't in the country, she left for work but I'm Cassie's guardian while she is away." Jane explained and the voice on the other end went quiet which was followed by some rustling of paper before the woman started to speak again."Is this Miss Jane?" The female voice asked."

    Hudson had spent the night, tossing and turning as he replayed the argument with Annette in his mind. He knew he had messed up, as the soft morning light seeped through his curtains, and he realized it was time to make things right with her because he was very sure Annette would be pissed at him for what he had said and how he had treated her? Yes! And even though he still doubted the fact that she didn't sleep with them to get the contract he shouldn't have treated her in that manner, or said those words to her. So he knew he had messed up, and he needed to make amends. Because of this, he decided to order breakfast in bed for her. Once he was done getting ready for the day, he picked up his phone to call the restaurant. He was ordering breakfast and also a bouquet of roses."Hello, this is the restaurant. How may I assist you?" The lady inquired.Hudson settled into one of the empty couches and replied, "I'd like to order breakfast for my room. Room 114."The lady inquired further

Her work was long forgotten as Hudson entered the room."Miss Zachary, Miss Zachary, Miss Zachary," Hudson called out but got no response from Annette as she was lost. I thought, "Annette!" Hudson yelled, and Annette immediately turned to face him, her confusion evident in her eyes."Yes?" She answered, giving him her full attention"I have been calling you for the past few minutes.

    Annette couldn't help but be nervous about her date with Hudson. Yes, he was an asshole but he had his good moments, which made it hard for her to get him out of her heart. Someday, he is a gentleman, and on other days, he acts like the devil's incarnate, which pissed her off. Why can't he be kind all the time? Why must he always act like a dick with no manners? Like the last time he said she must have slept with the Armando brothers to get the job, that should have made her run in the opposite direction but she didn't, instead she still stayed with him. Jane said she had bad taste in men, but that wasn't the case today. Tonight, they were going to have dinner to take her mind off things, but she hoped it would end well because she had a gut feeling that something might go wrong tonight.As Annette got ready for the evening, her phone chimed with a message from Hudson."Looking forward to tonight, Annette.

The fact that he was only with her for his pleasure is understandable. She knew what she was getting into, but to think he would actually flirt with someone else in front of her was just appalling.As she stumbled along the hallway, the effects of the cocktails she'd drank were making her steps wobbly and her vision hazy.

    Hudson had been searching for Annette, after she left the restaurant angrily, because he was flirting with the waitress. Hudsom found it absurd, because, she had no right to be jealous about something like that, afterall, according to their deal, she was only his mistress. Maybe he would need to read the contract to her again in case she had forgotten he didn't belong to her, instead, it was the other way around; she belonged to him. It was high time she got that straight in that thick skull of hers.After searching the hotel for her for minutes, he was on the verge of giving up when he finally found her in the reception hall, with Samuel(one of the Armando brothers standing protectively by her side). Anger immediately surged within Hudson as he saw them together. "What the fuck is she doing with that asshole?" Hudson uttered to himself as he approached them."Annette!" He called out. His voice was a mix of annoyance and fury.Annette turned to face him, her eyes wide with surprise.

He'd bring small gifts, like her favorite flowers or books, and listen intently as she shared stories about her day. Jane, however, remained unconvinced.
