The air-conditioner in the office had been set to a relatively low temperature, so Arabella had unconsciously wrapped her arms around herself. Soon, Daniel heard a slight cough.

He looked up at her and continued to browse through the information on the computer. After a few minutes, he heard her cough again. He started to feel slightly frustrated and lost concentration on work.

He got up and took his coat from the cloakroom to cover her with it. Feeling as if his frustration had been appeased, he was ready to go back to work. Two steps later, he thought of something. Daniel turned back to look at Arabella.

If someone came and saw her sleeping in his office, he didn’t want to wait to find out how much chaos it would cause.

It would also affect her future work.

He went up to her and loudly said, “Arabella Rivera?”

She must have been sleepy because she simply muttered something softly before flipping over to the other side.

He frowned and picked her up to be carried to the lounge in the

    And with that, Daniel continued his way toward the meeting room without saying another word. Caleb quickly followed behind him.Once Daniel had left, Frank let out a long sigh and walked up to Xaviera. With a sullen face, he said, “From tomorrow onwards, you don’t have to come to work anymore.”“Mr. Frank, can’t you please help me convince President Garcia to reconsider?” Xaviera’s eyes were already turning red.But Frank was unmoved by her tears as he remained serious and said, “I’ve already reminded you that you should be working during office hours. Pack your things and leave now.”Xaviera started to unwillingly pack her things, which included snacks that filled a large carton.Two colleagues who were on good terms with Xaviera comforted her, telling her to calm down and that she could look for another job.Xaviera glanced at Arabella and harshly said, “I simply don’t have a backer, unlike someone we know in this office.”After Xaviera left, everyone returned to their posts and con

    Every Monday, the secretariat would hold a weekly meeting where every person would report a summary of their work from the previous week.After the meeting, Frank asked Arabella to stay back. “Go home and pack your things. You’re leaving for America with President Garcia on a business trip at noon.” Frank noticed the hesitation in Arabella’s eyes and said, “Caleb will be going too.”Caleb and Frank were Daniel’s right-hand men. However, Frank had to manage the entire secretariat so he was not able to go with President Garcia.Arabella looked at the time. She had just arrived at the company less than an hour before and now had to return to pack her things. Why didn’t he tell her this yesterday?But despite her complaints, she still smiled and said, “Understood.”She immediately took a taxi back to the Rivera residence. When she passed the flower garden, Helena was trimming the flower bushes. She was surprised to see Arabella return home so early. “Arabella, are you not working today? O

    He leaned against the headboard while reading the business section of the newspaper. When he heard the bathroom door open, he shifted his gaze to her.Her body was wrapped in a bathrobe, and her snow-like skin sparkled under the crystal lamp. Her black hair was tied up high, revealing her long and beautiful neck.She dried her hair and got into his arms, wrapping hers around his waist. “After signing the contract tomorrow, let’s take a walk around.”She had heard Robin say that there was an old Ferris wheel on Wall Street that symbolized happiness. She wanted to take a look.“Caleb can accompany you.” He reached into her bathrobe.Her red lips parted slightly, and she was about to say something when he leaned over and covered them, sealing all the words she wanted to say.What did Caleb not get assigned to do on behalf of Daniel?Ever since the two of them got together, she had never asked him to take her out like other women. She had never even gone shopping with him.Sensing that sh

    Daniel turned his head to look at her and raised his eyebrows. “Are you trying to help me find your successor?”She was speechless, glancing at Johnson and his assistant. When they didn’t react, she heaved a sigh of relief.Arabella wouldn’t know how to explain if Johnson's assistant heard this.She could tell that the assistant was eyeing Daniel with admiration and desire.When Daniel saw how relieved she looked, he frowned in confusion. “Is it that embarrassing to be my woman?”“That’s not it. Johnson’s assistant is interested in you so I’m just afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble.”The next time she looked up, she saw Johnson’s assistant looking at them. She had only exchanged a few words with Daniel, but that woman was already watching her. If she found out about their relationship, would she skin Arabella alive?There was probably an 80%. Not wanting to make an enemy in unfamiliar territory, she inched closer to Caleb to put some distance between herself and Daniel.Her ac

    Based on their itinerary, they had one more day before their return home to Andalas. Knowing that, Arabella had already made an appointment with Robin to go to Wall Street to see the old Ferris wheel.But just after breakfast, Daniel received a call from Johnson. Someone had died in the company.For this to happen right after Daniel acquired The Corporation as the biggest shareholder, Daniel knew he needed to act on it.The trio rushed to the company and found that the police had already surrounded the scene. The crowd was fended off twenty feet away from the deceased, and no one was allowed to approach. The medical staff were examining the deceased’s body.Caleb showed the authorities Daniel’s ID, and with Johnson vouching for them, the trio was finally allowed to enter the restricted area.The victim had fallen from the top of the roof, and there was a large amount of blood flowing from his lower body. He had probably been dead for some time, as his body was already stiff.Daniel as

    Robin could tell how nervous she was and smiled. “You should be afraid. Your boss has been so busy and stressed over the recent incident and yet here sits his employee, casually having dinner.”She was skeptical and looked troubled. “Aren’t you exaggerating?”Robin laughed. “I’m just teasing you.”But his attempts to make her feel more at ease did not work. She was still a little worried. After all, Daniel could still be finding reasons to make her leave Zephyr Group.Robin sighed helplessly. “I’ll go over and say hello to your boss and cover for you.”“No, no. There’s no need for that.” She waved her hand worriedly.After finishing their meal, Arabella and Robin were not in a hurry to leave. When they saw Daniel and the rest finish their meal, the two groups of people walked out of the restaurant together.Since Daniel had long legs, he walked relatively quickly. The moment he left the restaurant, Arabella hurriedly chased after him. “President Garcia, wait a moment.”Daniel, Johnson

Instead, he said, “To the hotel.”He had been busy for the past few days, so he should rest.Arabella wanted to follow Frank back to the company when Daniel looked at her. “You’re coming along too.”When they arrived at the hotel, Frank proceeded to give Daniel a full report on the company’s situation while they had been away. He even brought a few important documents that had piled up over the past few days – they needed Daniel’s attention.Since Arabella had nothing to do, she put on the bath and soaked herself in it. By the time she was done, Frank had left, and Daniel was sitting in front of the computer, busy with work.She dried her wet hair as she walked towards him.

    Daniel’s deep eyes gradually turned sharp as a hawk and the corners of his lips curled into a cruel sneer. “Don’t take yourself too seriously.”After saying that, he pushed her away mercilessly and got off the bed. He gave her a look of warning before turning around to enter the bathroom.Just a moment ago, he was still affectionate, but in the next moment, he turned hostile and refused to acknowledge her.

    “Yeah, it was quite entertaining,” said Jack, stretching out his hand, with two 500 bank notes that Daniel had earned with ten minutes of work.He had to walk up to Jack to pull them out of his hand, which was the pinnacle of this experience. “Did you pull up here just for this?” he groaned and pushed the money into his pocket.“No, I still want my car washed,” said Jack, putting his hands into his pockets, on both sides of the bulge in his pants. He smelled of arousal, and all of a sudden, handsome Daniel could tell.“Sure, why not. Why not watch how badly I did, huh?” Daniel walked back to the buckets, trying to ignore the burning shame. “‘Look at me, I used to be the school loser and now I’ve got a Jag’,” he muttered and dipped the large sponge in the soapy water.Jack sighed. “You must really hate it, don’t you?”Daniel’s pulse sped up, and he could feel the vein bulging out on his neck. Even the orgasm he’d just had couldn’t soothe his nerves when Jack rubbed his success into Dan

    Jack Ramirez POV “Daniel Garcia, am I right? The basketball star?”Daniel gave him a crooked smile. Daniel Garcia, the basketball star. That did sound nice. Too bad it wasn’t school anymore, and you couldn’t live off being a mediocre basketball player. He’d been good in school, just not good enough for a scholarship.But Daniel had to focus on the problem at hand. He couldn’t link those tantalizing eyes to a name at all. “Yeah, long time ago,” he said and held out his hand to the guy, hoping the driver would save him from his misery and introduce himself. He didn’t even take the hand Daniel Garcia offered.“Do you know who I am?” he asked with a small smile.Daniel crooked his head to the side and rubbed his hand against his sweaty stomach as if he’d never held it out. This was getting truly annoying. “Not really, no.” He shrugged, trying to keep his cool even though goosebumps of shame were crawling up his back. A motherfucker he was supposed to know from school pulled up in a sport

    Daniel Garcia POVThe heat made Daniel Garcia boil in his uniform, so even though his boss had told him not to, he pushed the top of his coveralls down to his hips. Daniel was pretty sure the old pig was just jealous that his employee looked so much hotter than him. Not to mention both Manny’s wife and their daughter, Kiara Ramos, were making eyes at Daniel Garcia, which couldn’t be going down all that well with the guy. Manny Ramos probably only kept Daniel on because he couldn’t find anyone else who’d do the job for the slave wages he was willing to offer and live in the ancient motel by the gas station as well.Daniel carried a crate of beer into the small convenience store where Manny Ramos sat behind the counter, sweating, farting, watching TV, and fanning himself with a newspaper. Without a word, Daniel made his way toward the fridge to stack it full of beer. When he left home three years ago, he never thought he’d end up working at a shabby gas station in a deserted place, in a

    Xander Reyes POVXander looked at this Daniel, so gorgeous, pretty, hard, and needy. It was one of the easiest assignments he’d ever had. His bright hazel eyes were heavy with lust, and then sooty black lashes swept Daniel's face as he shut his eyes tight. Xander didn’t kiss on jobs like this, ever, nor did any of his clients ever get to know his real name. But right now, seeing Daniel’s lips parted in a moan, his name repeated over and over, it was all he could do not to bite down on Daniel’s plump lower lip and then lick his way into that appealing open mouth. Groaning, he pulled himself back, he needed to get his head back in the game, and he wasn’t going to expose his vulnerability like that. He focused back on what he was doing, turning Daniel into a pile of sobbing need in his arms. "Want to suck me?" Xander asked, low and insistent. "Want me to force you to your knees, and make you suck me until I come all over your skin, rub it in… make you beg for me?"Xander felt Daniel push

    Daniel Garcia Past LifeDaniel Garcia lived his own life far from his brother after they separated from their parents. He tried so damn hard to be a good straight husband. The life he chose meant so much to him. He experienced the ultimate sin which made him aware of the remnants of his past. Together with his brother, he approached the only sparkling desire that he thought to be the answer to his dream. Daniel wanted a family of his own, but, fate was unkind to him.It may have been the alcohol or the high of knowing tomorrow he’d be closer to changing his life, but tonight, worse the wear for the beers he had downed in quick succession on an empty stomach, meant that for once, he wanted to be himself. So he stood here, in a gay bar on what the cab driver said was the wrong side of town. The bar had shadowed corners and the smell of sex in the air—he watched.He watched the man at the bar; saw him leaning back, veiled eyes scanning the heaving late-night crowd. He stood in sinfully

    Arabella put her cutlery down too and indifferently said, “He just doesn’t want to see me. So no matter how much you cook, you won’t persuade him otherwise.”‘Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to see me? Why did you come back then?’She remembered every single word he said yesterday which lingered like thorns in her heart.Daniel’s expression turned colder when he heard her words. He walked away to pick up the car keys on the coffee table and grabbed his coat at the entrance.He must have used too much force because the hanger shook twice and almost fell to the ground.Daniel walked out and not long after, the sound of a car engine came from outside.Mrs. Winstead walked to the living room and saw Daniel driving away. She returned to the dining room with a gloomy expression. “Young Madam…”After Daniel left, Arabella lost her appetite so she stood up and walked towards the stairs.Mrs. Winstead looked on and sighed heavily.

    He got up and walked towards the stairs. She followed closely behind him and the two headed up to the second floor one after another. When they reached the bedroom door, Daniel did not stop, continuing to walk towards the study room.Arabella grabbed his sleeve again and Daniel stopped in his tracks. He turned around to look at her expressionlessly.“What are you angry about?” She looked up and met his dark eyes.He looked back at her innocent eyes and the words that he wanted to ask became stuck in his throat. “Nothing,” said he calmly.“How can it be ‘nothing’? You haven’t been home for half a month.” Afraid he would shake her off, she tightened her grip on his sleeve which started to wrinkle.“It was a business trip,” said he curtly.“What about before the business trip? Furthermore, Caleb told me that it has been a few days since you returned from your business trip.”Well, the part about Caleb telling her so was a lie. But she felt no guilt implicating Daniel’s assistant since Ca

    Arabella had been waiting in the parking lot of Zephyr Group since 4 p.m.Afraid that she would be seen by her colleagues, she chose to hide in an inconspicuous corner while keeping her eyes on Daniel’s car.One hour, two hours, three hours passed, but Daniel still did not appear.The sky gradually darkened and the lights in the parking lot were a little dim, making the place gloomy and cold.She wrapped her coat tightly around her body and crouched as if to curl herself into a ball. Since she stayed in that position for quite some time, her legs started to feel a little numb. She decided to stand and walk a few steps to return blood flow to her legs. After stretching for a while, she resumed her crouched position.With the night approaching, the cold in the dim parking lot grew heavier – Arabella started to shiver. She wanted to go home in a huff, but she was also unwilling to do so without having confronted Daniel.What right did he have to treat her like this?Even if he was angry,

    When it was the day of the pregnancy checkup, Daniel had not returned from the business trip. She was already expecting to go to the hospital alone only to find someone else in the living room when she came downstairs.“Why are you here?” She looked at Francesca in surprise.“Young Madam, President Garcia asked me to accompany you to the hospital,” said Francesca gently.It seemed that he still remembered the date. Arabella nodded. “Let’s go.”Mrs. Winstead noticed how thin the clothes Arabella was wearing so the former handed the latter a red coat on the hanger at the entrance.How could Arabella refuse Mrs. Winstead’s kind intentions? The former took off her jacket and put on the coat. Then, Arabella grabbed her bag and left the living room with Francesca following behind her.Because Francesca had made an appointment in advance, they went straight to the hospital for the checkup.
