Still not looking Into his eyes, She rose to her feet, picked up her purse from the table, then made her way out of the restaurant. She still didn’t look at him but she could feel his presence behind her.They both brought their cars to the venue so that kept Kelvin wondering for a while about what was going to happen.Once they were outside the venue, he arranged for her car to be brought to the front by the valet and once that was done, he turned to her. “Get in, I’ll drive.”Samantha didn’t argue. She obeyed and got into the car.Once they were both in and buckled up, Kelvin started the engine and drove out of the restaurant.She was hoping he would ask her for her home address since he didn’t exactly know her place but that question never came through.Samantha decided to stop getting bothered as she found herself enjoying the silent ride. She turned her attention to the window, looking into the beautiful streets while buried in her thoughts.After what felt like forever in the si
Samantha didn’t say anything.“Your heart is still healing and I feel like no matter how hard other people try to win you over, it might be fruitless because you’ve totally shut your mind out of love.”“You’re a sweet being, Samantha, and my wish for you is to find a man that will love you so much beyond words and take great care of you.”“I’m glad you went on the date. I’m not happy with the part of Ethan ruining everything, but I’m grateful to know that Kelvin stood up for you against him.”“I agree with Ethan about Samantha being jealous. Because that can only be the legit reason for him being mad at you for being with a man after all that he had put you through.”“He’s an as shole and I’m glad he’s got some competition. Someone as fierce as Kelvin.”“There’s no way they are going to take my single status away from me. Most especially that as shole, Ethan.”“Since he knows about Princess already, do you think he’s going to try something funny?”“I don’t know and I don’t really care
Bessie said nothing but continued to stare at him.“You’ll be getting pleasured and getting paid too. Why are you holding back?”“Did anyone send you to do this?”“What do you mean? You said it yourself that I’m a newbie.”“And that makes you a great suspect.”“Let me guess, you’ve got haters in this workplace.”She rolled her eyes at him, “Don’t act as if you don’t know haters are everywhere.”“You’ve got to have like two or more jobs to survive. I’ve got a corporate job during the day and this is my night job. I was a bit late, and that was why my colleague.” She pointed to the guy at the bar “attended to you first.”“Interesting!” He mumbled, “So you are not scared of your Boss or any of your colleagues seeing you here?”Bessie shrugged, “I’m just a receptionist over there so I’m sure the company doesn’t mind. A few colleagues know what I do. Besides, no one is holy. I have to do what I need to do to help my family.”“I like your personality so I’ll make a little increase. 20,000?”
She sighed, a part of her giving in as she noticed that she had a good chemistry with him.“Alic Incorporation.” She mumbled.“That’s where I work.”The name sounded familiar in Ethan’s head until it hit him, making a small smile creep to his lips like he just hit a jackpot.“Perfect! You’re going to help me!”Bessie stared at Ethan in confusion as the corner of his lips curved into a genuine smile.“Help you?”“How?”“With what?”“Don’t tell me you’re going to blackmail me now just because I got 20,000 from you? Gosh, I shouldn’t have trusted you.”“Can you just calm down?” He said, approaching her.“I may be all sorts of things but I don’t go back on my words. I’ve got no right to threaten you. That’s a very childish thing to do.”“I’m serious about being good and genuine friends with you.”“Then what do you want from me?”“I mean what can I help you with?”“I might as well just confess.”“You better do!” She mumbled, folding her arms.“I came here for business and I’m meant to be r
Samantha sighed, completely looking away from the laptop on her table and turning her attention to Kathie.“He’s actually a very cool person to hang out with. He wants more but I made him know that that’s not going to be possible.”“He said he was going to win me over. We shall see about it.”“It was fine even though someone tried to ruin it. But it ended on a really tense note.”“Can I go back to work now?”“Someone tried to ruin it? Who?” She frowned.“Ethan!”Katie’s eyes went wide. “Ethan?! As in the same Ethan? Ethan Blake? How the hell did he find you?”Samantha slowly massaged her temple, remembering that she hadn’t said a word about it to Kathie.“I don’t know. He probably came here for business. We first bumped into each other at the cafe when I went to meet the client. He made a scene and he saw me with Kelvin at night.”“At some point, I thought he was stalking me but I later discovered that the restaurant had a hotel beside it so he probably lodged there.”“Holy sh it, Sam
Kelvin reached for her hand, pulled her up from where she was seated, sat on the chair and made her sit on his lap, and wrapped his arms around her waist possessively.“Kelvin…what are you doing?” She whisper yelled when she eventually found her voice.“You didn’t respond to my text. He said, looking her in the eyes. His voice came out so confident.She swallowed painfully. “What text? We should stop, someone might walk in.” “So?”“So?” She reiterated, looking at him with wide eyes, wondering why the hell he was so calm about it when she was literally freaking out.“We are free to do what we want and besides, no one can come in without your approval.”He released one of his hands from her waist, and slightly caressed the side of her thigh, up to her a***.Samantha shivered, her throat getting dry.“Here’s not the right place for this, Kev.” She mumbled. If there was anything Samantha had always held her head up high for, it was discipline in the workplace. She couldn’t believe she wa
At this point, Kelvin was beyond upset. He left where he was and approached Bessie.He grabbed her by her arm, “What the hell is wrong with you? I don’t like you, I don’t want anything to do with you, why the hell can’t you understand that?”“And how dare you speak rudely to Samantha? Have you forgotten your position in this company?”“And what will she do to me? Have me fired because I caught her almost f*****g my man?”“If you say that again, I promise you that I’m not going to regret what I’m going to do to You!”, Kelvin said, giving her a very nasty glare. He was brought up not to lay a finger on women, Heaven knows what he would have done already if she was a male.The door flung open and Katherine came in, looking all breathless and worried. “I tried to stop her but she was way ahead of me. I’m so sorry.” She said, exchanging a glare with Bessie.“Never mind, She’s leaving already!” Kelvin spoke.“You’ve got a very shady attitude. You put out a nice facade so people would worship
Samantha stood still, with nothing but confusion showing all over her face. She hated the fact that Ethan was seated there, smirking at her. A thought crossed her mind of honestly wishing there was something she could do to wipe the smirk off his face.She honestly had no idea what he was doing here but she could tell it was to attack her. She had predicted him to do worse things but never did it cross her mind that he was going to show up in her office.Beside Ethan was an unfamiliar face dressed in a deep blue suit. She needed no one to tell her who he was as she already had a good idea.And Beside the stranger was Mr. Philips. One of the board members of the company.Opposite them was Kelvin who was also seated, exchanging glares with Ethan who doesn’t seem to give a f***k as he had his attention on Samantha Samantha tormed out of the Conference room and Kathie followed suit.“What the hell is he doing here? Why didn’t you tell me he was here?”“I had no idea, Sam. I swear to you
