The day after tomorrow had arrives pretty fast. Due to needing a few of her things, Roxanne had returned to her apartment the morning of their date. She freshened up and met back with Lance in front of his penthouse.The first thing she noticed when she walked out was the fact that Lance was dressed in a casual grey sweater and black jeans. He stood there looking handsome as ever as he smiled at Roxanne.She stared back at him for a moment, trying to remember when last she saw him in that outfit."Hey," Lance greeted her with a smile. "You ready to go?" He asked and surveyed her outfit as she nodded her head.She was wearing a light blue off shoulder dress that came to just above her knees. On her feet were a pair of black high heeled sandals with small white crystals on the front of her toes.Lance's eyes lingered on her exposed collarbone for a moment before he grabbed her hand and began leading her to the garage where his car was parked.The two rode the elevator in comfortable sil
"You did what?!" Iris exclaimed with her mouth hanging open.Surprise was evident on her face after Roxanne explained all that had happened between her and Lance in the past few days. Of course she had left out a few minor details and made sure not to explain the too intimate parts.But still, Iris was surprised."This...this is a whole different story." Iris said while trying to piece everything together. She took a long sip from her smoothie before fixing a stern gaze on Roxanne. "So what now? Are you guys like lovers now?"Roxanne looked down at her fingers and fiddled with them. They weren't lovers, at least not for now. Both she and Lance had decided to take things slow. They would explore their emotions, connections and what they wanted out of their relationship first. They'd talk about the future once they knew what that would be."No, we're just...not ready to go that far just yet." Roxanne informed. "We decided to take things slow. You know, get to know each other, go on love
Was it perhaps a coordinate? A bank account number? Was it maybe an address?She flipped through the pages to find out, but all she could find were numbers, nothing more."What is going on?" Roxanne asked herself.She didn't understand what these numbers could be. Just when she thought she knew all there was to know about her parents case, new evidence popped up.But in the first place, how had the note gotten into her pocket? Did someone perhaps slip it into her pocket when she and Iris had gone to the spar? Or was it when they went to the mall, it had been pretty crowded today and she had bumped against a lot of people.Roxanne tried to think back and figure out how this note could have made its way into her pocket, but no matter how hard she tried to remember, nothing was coming up.Roxanne groaned in frustration and buried her head into the center of her palm.This was bad, she thought. She had been so focused on fixing her relationship with Lance that she completely forgot the mo
When the elevator doors suddenly opened it revealed someone.It was Lance and beside him was none other than Julie. Roxanne looked in between the two and her eyes narrowed.She really didn't like the way Julie was standing so close to Lance. If you asked her, Julie was standing way too close for an assistant to be standing near their boss."Good morning, Mr. Laurent." Bella greeted and gave a short bow.Lance looked at Roxanne, his eyes shimmering ever so slightly as a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.Roxanne smiled softly as she stepped into the elevator. "Good morning, Mr. Laurent." She greeted, remembering to stay professional even though romance was blossoming between them.She has to know how to keep her personal life separate from her work life. If she was going to have a relationship with Lance, she was going to have to be very careful about it. After all, there was no telling how many people in the office might try to dig into their private lives once she found out and
Penelope Cube?Why was she here? Was she to cause trouble? Roxanne tried to rack her brain for simple answers as she walked towards the guest lounge, Bella trailing right behind her.Unfortunately, by the time she arrived by the lounge room door, she couldn't have come up with one solid option. The only reason she could find that suited Penelope visiting her was to obviously earn her to back off from Lance.She was going for the strategy of 'threatening the mistress.' Cliche as is, it was still a hot and trendy way to get third parties out of your relationship.However, unlike those other girls that would easily back away when offered cash or money, Roxanne wasn't going to go down without a fight and she has more than one reasons for that.The first and most important being Penelope's attitude. Now She doesn't see herself holy enough to judge other people's character and she has seen her fair share of nasty characters, but there was no way she was going to remain quiet and give up on
"Say, Roxanne, do you think Lance loves you for you? Or simply because you have a striking resemblance to his first love?"Roxanne paused as she processed those words. Christopher had taunted her with those very same words, but back then they didn't disturb her as much as they were disturbing her now. Did she really look like Lance's first love? Was he simply projecting his love for his first love onto her?The realization had hit her in the face.Penelope had her. Her gaze was cold and piercing, like a predator ready to devour their prey.Roxanne turned to the side, her gaze downcast as she felt her body heat up in anger. She heard Penelope chuckle victoriously and the sound only further fueled the fire burning within her.How dare she? How dare she stand in front of her and mock her. She was so close to letting her get away with it, but her words made her reconsider and now, she was regretting not getting her away from here."Realization is painful, ain't it?" Penelope mocked. "You
Lance watched as Penelope gathered herself and stood up from the floor. She then pointed a hand in his way and affirmed."All these things you're doing, you'd come to regret them and when that time comes, you'd come crawling back to me, High and mighty son of the Laurent family.""Sir, shall I go after her?" Kelvin asked as they both watched Penelope saunter back to her vehicle, dragging her driver along."No." Lance dismissed the idea. "I think that's enough warning for now." He told.Kelvin nodded his head and retreated. Lance got into his car and decided to drive back to his company. Along the way, his thoughts were clouded with what Penelope said. Not because he was afraid of the consequences, but because he worried about what Penelope and her family would do against Roxanne.Lance slammed his palm on his steering wheel. Just Great! As if he didn't already have amber to worry about, now he has to keep an eyes on two unhinged knuckleheads.Talk about a full plate.Sighing, Lance de
When Roxanne said she was ready for whatever consequences came with there being little to no distance between she and Lance in the shower, she meant it.So right now, with her back pressed against the wall, hot water streaming down her body and Lance ramming his full length into her, she accepted it, lovingly.Lance pulled out a moment later, turned her around, and thrust his cock back into her. Roxanne felt a shuddering tingle shoot up her spine as he did so.She wrapped her arms around his neck and clung tightly to him, taking all that she could get. Lance returned her embrace and moved faster. He was determined to fuck her until they both came. Funny how a time of consolation had turned it a full blown love making session.But Roxanne wasn't hating it, she loved it, just like the other times Lance had fucked her.Their lovemaking was accompanied by the lewd sound of moans and groans, the steam in the shower, and their skin slapping together.Roxanne took every thrust, with each one
