When she came out of the bathroom, She was met with an empty bed and a missing boyfriend. "Are we not going to fight over the bed?" Vanessa muttered, " I'm not used to him giving up so easily, what a let down." If Leonardo ever heard what she was muttering, he would have foam at the mouth. What a sly vixen. ... Inside a dimly lit room, a man and a woman were making love on a large bed. The man was taking her ferociously, the room was filled with the sound of passionate love making and flesh slamming onto one another. Instantly, Leonardo sat up on the bed, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. 'Tch, it's that dream again! What a torture.' he thought. In recent months, he has been having the same dream where he was entangled with a woman while continuously doing the deed, taking her like a starved animal. However, it was a strange dream because he couldn't see the woman's face. Leonardo was certain that in his thirty two years of living, he had never taken a woman so r
She dropped a peck on his cheek and ran away leaving Leonardo stunned by her actions, staring at her back as she ran. He stayed still for a minute before he closed the window and the cars drove away. It took nearly half an hour to get from the Quinn mansion to Quinn Empire Holdings. The company building had sixty eighth floors and was like the most astonishing pearl of New Haven's business industry. Those who were able to work at the Quinn Empire Holdings were the elite amongst the elites, the creame of the crop. Although the company's president; Leonardo is a cold man with few words and was difficult to get along with, Quinn Empire Holdings had great benefits and opportunities, and there was a bigger chance for promotion. Many who tried their best to enter Quinn Empire Holdings had also been dreaming of gaining attention from Leonardo, because that meant they would have a promising and fulfilling future. The president's office was located on the highest level of the building
He never thought that Vanessa would give him such things as gift. 'Did she make this herself?' He asked himself as he stared at the heart. According to the information he found, she used to own an art studio, so she is both talented and creative. In her words, her gift wasn't anything valuable but it's value was in it's meaning. Also judging by it's look, the quality was great. Leonardo was initially in a bad mood from not getting any sleep last night but now, he was in much better mood. Meanwhile, Toby was staring at Leonardo. Watching the scene unfold before him in shock. Toby was sure Leonardo was in a love affair because the latter was almost smiling. Once Leonardo finished his coffee and placed the cup back on the table, he suddenly noticed Toby staring at him, so he frowned while asking, "Why are you still here?" Toby replied, "Didn't you notice that I have been sitting here all along?" Then he added, "I'll leave after you finish signing those documents. They are very im
As there were countless rules and heavy security at the Quinn mansion, anyone who came to visit needed to have approval from a Quinn before they were allowed to enter. Then, a maid would bring them to where the person they were visiting lived. The guests weren't allowed to walk around the whole mansion, this was to avoid them snooping into other people's privacy. Maureen was here to see Vanessa, who is living with Leonardo, so she had to get Leonardo's approval first before she can be allowed into the residence. However, Leonardo wasn't at home and Vanessa didn't have his contact information. As Vanessa thought about it, she found it funny that they reside together and were in a relationship, but she didn't have her boyfriend's number. On the other hand, Leonardo knew her contact information and her traceable past. While she knew nothing about him, he knew most things about her, which Vanessa felt was unfair. Since Maureen couldn't enter the mansion, she had no choice but to
Nessa, before coming here, I received a call from Mrs Woods. She said she has chosen a date for your engagement party, which will be on the sixth of next month." buckling her seatbelt, Maureen faced her daughter to ask," Did you mean it when you said you have no intention of Marrying Francis anymore? If you mean it, I'll refuse Mrs Woods proposal and tell her the engagement is off. "Mum, please refuse her, I'm never going to marry Francis. Not in this lifetime or the next." Maureen was dumbfounded, she could remember the bizarre things Vanessa did all in the name of marrying Francis. To get over it quickly, something big must have happened. "Vanessa dear, you do know what you are speaking on, yes?" "Mum, I'm conscious and I Know what I'm saying. I used to like Francis but I felt he wasn't the kind of man I would want to spend the rest of my life with. I stayed at home for a long time recuperating, yet he didn't call or visit me even once. When I was admitted into the hospital,
If she was strong, she wouldn't need to hide ever again! "Mum, I would like to learn how to manage our company. Would Dad be willing to teach me?"Though she has managed businesses before, she has never managed a business like this. Maureen was over the moon upon hearing that. "Of course he would! What we fear most is you not wanting to learn how to manage our company. Since you want to learn, I can even go back to the company and teach you the ropes myself." The smile on her face became unbridled and her eyes starred over like that galaxy. Vanessa stared at her glowing face, lost in thought. How could I have not seen this love? I will definitely do my best to live up to her expectations of me. After marrying into the Lawson family, Maureen left her father's corporation and joined the Lawson's to help Adrian. But she gradually became a house wife after she had their child, since all her attention was on her daughter. "Nessa, think through this properly. Though I am very happy
The Lawson corporation was not far from the Quinn Empire. It was a few minutes drive from one to the other and one would have to pass by the Quinn Empire to get to the Lawson corporation. When Maureen's car passed by the Quinn Empire, she brought to Vanessa's attention, "Nessa, do you see that building? That's the Quinn Empire, and the current president is still the Quinn boy. If you really wish to continue on the business route, you must be careful of the Quinn Empire schemes. They never stop and once you've fallen into his trap, all the decades of effort put into Lawson corporation would all be gone." Vanessa knew that not only did the Quinn Empire dominate the business industry in New Haven, they were an influential company in the entire country with great prestige. The office building she was staring at had over sixty eight floors, and was like a shiny gem. She thought that Leonardo must have it tough, having to manage such a huge workplace but then again. She was about to get
"Aren't you attending the Crawford family's banquet this Saturday?" " How do you know that?" Once Vanessa asked the question, she felt it was redundant. When has anything stop Leonardo from finding out whatever he wants? He'll make it happen by hook or by crook. He had someone investigate her, so it was natural that he knew most things and people connected to her, which reminded her of the difference between them right now. "Alright, Thank you for keeping me in mind. Are you going to be home for lunch?" " Yes, it's my house. So I can go there whenever I want." " I never said you couldn't, it was just a simple question." " Which I answered simply." " Okay boss, it your house and I'm just living in it." " Exactly." Vanessa nearly choked on her saliva after hearing his response. I can't believe how childish he can be. " I might not be home for lunch. Is that okay with you?" " That's your business, it has nothing to do with me. You don't have to tell me your wherea
