Lihat lebih banyakAmber has lived in Chicago for the past three years after she moved from Boston to start her office work where she works as the secretary to the CEO of the biggest Department store, Shell House.
Her everyday work was always hectic but who was she to complain when her boss was always working with her even late into the night so it was not as if he was punishing her on purpose but one thing she really love about her boss, Tom Holland is that no matter how hard they have to work, he makes sure she enjoys her weekend so every Friday she goes home as early as possible.
This particular Friday was like every other one and she was so happy to get off work because she actually had her own plans for the day.
“Miss Amber, the sales report should be ready by 2pm on Monday so make sure you try to finish it up over the weekend” Tom, her boss said to her as he came out of his office wearing a tired look on his face.
The week have been extremely stressful for them because new arrivals just came in at the mall and they had to monitor the sorting out because if they didn’t, their office’s telephone will certainly blow up with calls for complaint and he was not ready to go through such a hassle anymore.
The last time they had such situation, the employees had packaged the wrong orders all the way from Chicago to Thailand and they had to return the goods which made them suffer a huge loss due to the cost of shipping. Another situation was the employees sending the wrong size of wedding dresses to a party and there was no time to meet up since it was ordered at a very close date.
She stood up to reply “Should I draw up all the reports for the past three months? We seems to have a lot to deal with these days” placing her hands in front of her navy blue skirt
“You should leave that for now, the sales report for the new ones is important for now. Do enjoy your weekend Miss Amber” he answered and walked out of the office.
She released a heavy sigh with happiness as she closed her eyes and folded her fists in happiness, “It’s another weekend to do what I want” she muttered as she cleared her table before packing her bag to leave as well.
She was waiting to flag down a taxi when a text popped up on her phone, she opened it to check that it was from Mike
“Do you want to take a slot tonight? One of our participants suddenly came down with a cold”
She hesitated a bit before replying because she was honestly tired for the day and she was already dreaming of how to get home early, shower and sleep with her phone switched off to avoid any disturbance.
She thought about if she should take the offer or not for some minutes but finally kicked against it. She texted back “I don’t think I can make it today, I am so tired right now” but within seconds, Mike called back
“You should take this chance! There are many people of influence attending the show and who knows? You might be able to hit the jackpot” he stated trying hard to convince her so she can take the offer but she was not interested, her mind was made up.
“We are always treated invisible so I don’t want to waste my time” she replied with a discouraged voice
“Dave Lin is also attending” he whispered to her and her eyes bulged out in shock
“What? The same Dave Lin?” she shouted, scaring the taxi driver for a bit.
The tiredness she was feeling some seconds earlier flew off from her face at the mention of the popular name she just heard.
“Sweet goodness! I will be there right away” she answered immediately and told her taxi driver to turn to her destination
“Star club please” she told the driver and resumed her talks with Mike
“Costume? I have nothing on me right now”
“You should trust me, I have it available for you” Mike assured her and she told him that she will be there in few minutes before she disconnected the call
She had been working part time in the Star club ever since she landed in Chicago as a stripper thanks to her hot body. She has smooth and sexy long legs, the perfect curves and shapes where necessary. She is a tall and slender lady, a very great dancer with head turning skills and over all a beauty with long eyelashes and brown eyeballs that are sexy and captivating so she got hired quickly when she pushed for the job.
She decided to be a stripper because she really loved clubbing and she was great at dancing, the money she was getting as a secretary was not enough to cover her bills so she just took on the job as an extra source of income. Her mother was diagnosed with cancer and she had been on chemotherapy for months, and this has been taking a toll on her
She had vowed to herself that she would quit the job once her boss increases her salary as promised by the end of the year. It was stated in the contract that her salary would be subjected to increase every three years and she couldn’t wait for the raise.
Even though she had spent close to three years with her boss, they didn’t have any other relationship except work. Tom is a strict man who doesn’t even joke around, he would never open his mouth unless it is about work and he doesn’t care about any other thing except work so that made him a boring man to everyone.
She pulled off at the club, ran inside and saw Mike already waiting for her at the entrance of the changing room
“Hey Mike” she greeted in haste
“Change into this, you are late already” he said and handed over a bag to her
“Thank you” she shouted and ran inside the room to change into a pink full body bikini that was hugging her body tight
“You look hot as always” Mike remarked with a wink as she tried to keep her blonde hair in place
He led her into the private section of the club reserved for the crazily rich men and women. She met others already at their poles and she quickly ran to take her place. The song started and she began to tease the audience sexily, she grabbed unto the pole and was whirling around it while enjoying herself when she sighted someone familiar and her heart skipped a bit.
“It cannot be, can it? There is no way Tom Holland will be in a club watching strippers” she muttered to herself but it was not a dream, her boss was indeed there looking at her.
She checked again to see that she was not dreaming and it was indeed true. She wasn’t dreaming at all, her boss was there staring at her as she was rolling on the pole sexily in a provocative outfit.
She resumed her dance but suddenly, one of the rich men there rose up and started to dance with her. They had the freedom to dance with them but needed their consent to touch their body. The man didn’t ask her and just dragged her to himself, she was feeling uncomfortable with the way he was dancing with her and placing his hands on sensitive parts of her body.
Tom Holland noticed her discomfort and had no choice but to step in
He grabbed the man’s sharply from her back and the man glared at him in shock “I think she’s not comfortable with the way you are touching her” he stated with his thick voice booming through.
She shifted her face to the side to cover up and hide from him and as soon as the man released her, she flew down the stage and rushed to hide, she cannot afford to lose her job, she’s in need of a huge amount of money after all.
Ever since Joseph became the president, he had been a big menace to the company. All of his decisions affected the company negatively, which led to the investors grumbling and so much loss occurred. When Chairman Holland couldn’t contain his disappointment and worry, he started to nag Joseph, who got angry at his nagging and when it became unbearable for him, he had him put on house arrest where he cut off his connections to everyone. He began his move to become the chairman and everything was set in place with the help of Charles. On the day of his announcement, he walked briskly into the company with the will he forced the Chairman to sign a few days ago, naming him as the next chairman by transferring all his shares to him. The meeting was ongoing when Tom marched in with the police, to their surprise. No one was expecting him to show up in that place and at that time. Eddy was also brought along to identify and confirm Joseph as the one who told him to hire a man who messed with
Over the months, Tom’s condition was increasing as he became vibrant and cheerful, unlike when the accident had just occurred. He enjoyed listening to stories of the past from his mother, so he knew some information about himself, and they were enough to know who he was. After seeing Amber in his articles over and over, she caught her attention and wondered who she was, but his mother only told him that she was his secretary without including the relationship they had because she was still angry about how she left abruptly. Anita had gone shopping that fateful day and one pretty lady shifted for her to tender her goods first even though she was not obligated to and in the process of thanking her, she saw that it was who she never expected. The shopping basket fell from Amber’s hand at the sight of Tom’s mother, but she was quickly helped by the stores employees who ran to gather the scattered goods. Anita wanted to ignore her, but she didn’t hesitate to tell her side of the story wh
Joseph called Charles, who had been released on bail out, for a party to celebrate his new position, and they laughed about Tom, who thought he was smart but ended up losing everything. Before the inauguration, Charles had learned that it was Tom who helped Joy break away from him, therefore making him and his father lose face in front of Chairman Kim. He was so furious about that and Joseph happened to call him at that time that Tom was on the verge of taking everything away from him. Charles and Joseph resolved to the option of causing him an accident on the inauguration day while making him feel he had the upper hand during the preparations. Joseph also pressured Eddy to make sure he blackmailed Amber to get rid of her from his side so that their plans would be perfect. Eddy was the one that provided them with the man whom they paid to mess with Tom’s car and everything went according to their plans without any hitch or trace to them. “Yo! I haven’t felt this elated in a while”,
Even though the video was doing so many things for her, she still tried to keep her cool and smiled at Tom, who was waiting to take her home. That very day, he decided to take her on a dinner date, which further complicated things for her because she was eager to get home before her anxiousness burst out in front of Tom. Throughout the dinner, he was laughing and smiling more than usual, maybe because he was anticipating the inauguration day, and she tried her best to match his smile while trying hard not to pick on the food in front of her. After a walk to the restroom, she decided to push the thoughts aside and just enjoy the time with him because there was a probability she would be resigning and fleeing to save his face on that day. He had worked hard for that day, and she wouldn’t allow her own past to ruin it for him. Since they have just a little time before the inauguration, she will have to use them wisely. She pressured him to go on dates with her every day, buy her things
At the sound of her mother’s footsteps approaching her room to check up on her, they split apart and bounced to the edge of the room where they both put on their clothes, and they took off in a flash. She placed the pictorial magazine on her dressing table in his hands as he pushed him into the chair and her mother came in at that instant. “You should open the door if you are inside instead of making me go through the stress of passcode. Why do you keep stressing me?” her mother ranted, and immediately her eyes landed on Tom, her lips folded themselves. She was not expecting to see anyone at home with her not to talk of Tom, because she knew they had been in an argument for weeks. Her feet retracted themselves as she went back to the door as quickly as she had come. “You said you won’t be coming until tomorrow, why are you here?”, Amber slammed her, and she had no choice but to stop and answer that the doctor attended to her quickly, so she just thought about coming home instead of
They both got into the car, and they rode for the first few minutes in silence before she tried sparking a conversation between them. “Wow! Did something change in your car? Something looks unfamiliar”, she said, but he only kept his face on the road in silence. “Is it the scent? The seat’s leather or the color of the belts? Something is weird. Has it been that long I got into your car?”, she blabbered, but as much as he wanted to give a response, he held himself back. She knew her tricks to make him talk were not working on him. It was then she realized the extent of the damage she had caused by her hard-headedness. She didn’t even give him any room for explanation, kept on assuming and believing things on her own accord. He also didn’t even make the effort to explain things which he didn’t blame him for because, at that moment, he had requested her trust which she failed in giving to him. The rest of the drive was in silence, and he finally pulled in front of her house after a tw
Even though Mr. Joe offered to drive her back. She declined flatly and told him she would find her way home. She ordered a taxi back home and the thoughts of how Tom could do something drastic at someone’s wedding overflowed her brain. As much as she wanted to laugh so hard at his priceless reaction when his karma came back to bite his ass, the despair the bride must be feeling wouldn’t allow her laugh as much as she wanted. For some reason, she knew within her that Tom only forced her to come, so she could witness the scenario as a payback for what happened back then at the company, but she was still not happy with him. His methods and approach were wrong to her. Nothing could justify the wickedness he had portrayed by ruining someone else’s wedding just for revenge. Time flew by, and she didn’t even know when the taxi would get to her house. The driver had to alert her that they were already at their destination before she jerked out of her deep thoughts. After making payment, she
Charles’ father, who is Chairman Henry, Chairman Holland Steve and Chairman Kim, who is Joy’s father, all gathered at Chairman Kim’s house to discuss the way further in both their politics and also the marriage that would take place between Charles and Joy, their children. The trio had been the first to start their various businesses in Chicago and had a very tight friendship as they grew up over the years. They all have their own successful and thriving businesses, which made them the top three richest in Chicago. They all planned to get their children married to each other in order to strengthen their bonds and also solidify their shares in the economy. Chairman Henry, who was planning to run for the mayor of Chicago, wanted the marriage to be held before the contest season so the support of the two families merging would be helpful in his mayoral race, so they decided to talk together and conclude on a date since the children had already agreed to get married and were already enga
That very day, Charles and Joseph were having that conversation. Tom had gone back to the kitchen to get himself some water when he heard them discussing Amber and what happened at the company. He wanted to burst in and punch Charles hard, but he restrained himself and thought this would be a perfect way to break his wings that he had been planning to get by getting married to a powerful family like Joy’s. He made sure to record everything that he had said without them knowing before moving back to his room. He had been thinking about how to use it since then and didn’t know until he remembered the wedding coming up. The thought of releasing it on their wedding day crept into his mind, but he also thought about how it would ruin the day of Joy, who is the bride. Kicking against the idea, he hid the recording in his safe at home until one fateful day he had to meet with one of the investors at a golf course. The investor received a call and took a twenty-minute excuse before leaving
