Chapter 66

Eden POV

It’s been a two weeks since my encounter with Kevin, two weeks since he’s made any move towards me, two weeks since Percy started acting weird, not weird weird, but weird that we don’t spend as much time together.

He had been spending more time in the office and returned late, too late that I wouldn’t catch him up.

“Eden.”

“Eden.” I snapped back to reality blinking repeatedly at Cole who had his eyes on me.

“Yeah, sorry. Keep on going.” I said to him leaning back to the chair.

“There isn’t a ‘keep on going’ if you don’t tell me where your mind is. You’ve been zoning out for a while and I’m telling you as a work colleague and not your manager that you need to get your shit together.” He dropped the paper in his hands down on the desk and clutched his palms together.

“I'm fine. I just got distracted.” I answered smacking my red coated lips together. “So what where you saying?”

“Did something happen between you and Percy?” he asked casting me a knowing glance.

Equally dressed up in a golden slip on gown, she wasn’t quite surprised to see Cole.“You must be Cole Thatcher, the manager.” She greeted when we first entered, she extended her hand to him and he accepted it with a small kiss to the back of her palms. Magdalene blushed and I watched the two exchange deep glances that made me happy and sad at the same time. It reminded me of Percy, but I didn’t want to think about him. Not now. Now at our table, i examined the wine with a swirl.“You look stunning in that dress Eden, very very stunning.” Alex complimented me with a boyish smile when he returned with the tray of food. “Thank You Alex.”“Yeah but you know what else is stunning?

Was he accusing Cole?“Right, he didn't. He just came out for some fresh air.” Percy replied, his voice dipped in heavy sarcasm. “Actually, that's why I'm here.” Cole said, either he didn't read the room or he really didn't care about what Percy was thinking. “You know what i’ll just leave you two to talk?” He said and turned to me, he gave me a small warn smile and a gentle squeeze on my arms. He ignored the glare Percy gave him and walked past him inside the bistro. I sighed and turned away from Percy. “What in the world was that?” he asked from behind me. “It was nothing-”“It sure didn't look like nothing, yo

Like last night, when she was going out for dinner with her manager, I thought she would see me, but she didn't. I saw how her eyes remained alert as she scanned the parking spaces, my lips spread in a smile as her grip on the coat in her arms tightened. She was very much afraid.

Who was he on the phone with and why was he tensed to see me?“Uh- sorry I just wanted to uhm-” I cleared my throat looking for an excuse, “I wanted to ask if the wifi is still working.” I said instead, it was absurd because I had never used his wifi before. “What are you doing here Eden?” he asked tucking his phone away. “I wanted to check in okay-” that was partially true. He had been too quiet and it bothered me. “I had to make sure you aren't dead.” I met his eyes and he sighed raking his hands through his hair. The awkward silence had me counting numbers in my head. “Well I see you're all fine, so I'll leave now.” I said moving backwards. “Wait!” he said and I halted. “What did you hear?”“What made you think I heard anything?” I asked pretending to be confused. He studied my face some more making me conscious so I chewed on my button lip.“Right.” I skiddled outside and shut the doo

Zachary gave me a nod and raised his tablet to me showing me what's on the screen. “Thank you, yes. I definitely will.” he answered placing the tablet in front of me. I frowned at the headline and glanced up at him for more context. He tucked his phone into the pocket of his suit pants and scrolled to the picture right underneath it, it was a group photograph of women who were working with Jades cosmetic company in the coming campaign, I didn't understand what he was showing me until I saw both of them, side by side each other with broad smiles on their faces. Stella and Eden. In one place.“How?” was the first thing I could ask.“Apparently everyone on here agreed to work with Jade cosmetics, even Eden. The why, I'm not so sure but they're both together now. That could be a big problem for you Percy. What are you going to do?” he asked with his

My eyes opened and the first thing I see is swollen breasts, Eden’s swollen breasts through my shirt. It’s difficult on first glance but the outline was there and so was her hardened nipples. “Good you’re awake.” She muttered, her fingers in my hair let go and she pushed away from me to her feet. I should’ve held her back and told her to stay but I had crossed the line I said I wasn’t going to cross, I cleared my throat and leaned back on the headboard. “You’ve been up for a while-“ I asked as she skidded around the room, her fingers raked through her messy hair and she sighed.“Yeah, I have.” She answered plainly, her eyes refused to meet mine as she struggled to find something. “Where’s your clock? I need to know the time.” She bit on her lips and rocked o

How stupid was I to think he would open up and tell me the reason why he had been avoiding me. It had to be because of Stella, he was seeing her behind my back. They were probably going to g at back together after this stupid contract ended and I was here falling in love with a man who had no single regard for my feelings. “Miss. Eden.” I snapped my head up and stared at the woman at the front desk.“That’s me.” The woman’s smile faltered as she saw my face. “Right, your package came in late last night-“ she paused and moved closer to me. “Are you okay? You look a little bit sad?”She could tell, bravo Eden you’re a walking sad person.“Yeah, I just- can I get the package?” The woman nodded and brought it to me. “Thank you.” I turned to leave when I walked into Greta and her son by her side, she hadn’t not

My eyes landed on the man sleeping in my bed, his bare chest was on display for me to see and his hands crossed over his face, blocking his eyes. My eyes trailed further down to where the Duvet stopped which was around his hips. He moved and my gaze reached up his face. “Audrey? Are you there?” Eden said through the phone and I blinked. “Yeah, i am.” I answered lowly while rubbing my neck, my fingers crossed one of the bruise on my neck. It was a love mark from Zach from last night. “So what do you say?” she asked and i moved closer to Zach who was still asleep, the bed dipped from under me as i sat on the bed. “You should go for it, i’m sure it would drive him crazy.” I giggled. I placed my hands on Zach chest and traced on the toned mucles of his chest. He stirred but doesn’t open his eyes. “Thanks Audrey- you’re a life saver.” She sighed in r

She had her hair up in a neat bun. They were all making an effort with the dress and there was me. My black swweat pants sat on waist and my body hug crop top held the upper part of my body, revealing my toned muscles. I grabbed a scrunchy from the table and packed my hair in a messy bun and applied gloss afterwards. “Its how you make no effort yet still look as hot as a model from a cover magazine.” Maggie said as she grabbed her bag. I chuckled and grabbed my phone, Percy was yet to reply my text from the day before. The guys weren’t coming with us be

His lips held mine as the urgency to have me where he wanted. My hands fiddled with his jacket but i managed to peel if of his shoulders, his fingers around my waist detached as he helped me get rid of the material andd discard it to the side. His hands brushed against my hips and down to my thighs where he squeezed on the skin through the material of my dress. A soft moan escaped my lips and my eyes closed shut at the pleasure that caused through from his lips. He pulled away and stared at me for a moment, his fingers brushed a strand of hair away from my face to behind my ears. “You’re as red as a tomato.” he teased. “It’s all your fault, my body always reacts

Graham wouldn’t like me if I got free.“It doesn’t matter now brother, what you should be more worried about is yourself and her-“ he nudged to his right.
