Jessica was having lunch with Winifred in her Manhattan penthouse. They had exchanged contacts at Rose’s birthday party but this was the first time they were meeting up since then. Winifred had decided to stay at her place in the city instead of getting a suite at The Ruby Tulip Hotel.
She was going to be spending a while in Manhattan, plus she didn’t really want to see Mary; the receptionist at The Ruby Tulip Hotel. She was still embarrassed from their last encounter on the night of Wayne’s birthday party. She moved out the next day before Mary’s shift.Jessica was trying to discreetly admire Winifred’s place without seeming like a country bumpkin. By now, she would have been rolling with the likes of Winifred if Rose had not taken her opportunity. For the millionth time she wished she could change the past and drag herself to perform for Wayne; instead of sending Rose.But all was not lost.Perhaps she could make the best of this situation andIt felt like years since Rose had last been at Jerry’s office; it was so funny how it seemed like time could fly without restraint. She was driving the car Wayne had given her as a birthday present and she hadn’t decided on a name yet.One of the reasons she had named her previous car was because she had needed a name to murmur when she was begging it to start. There was no such need with the Mercedes-Maybach. It was a testament to how much her life had changed since the last time she had driven up here with Chelly.She took a deep breath and walked into the building. There was still that same sweet old secretary from the last time. There were people waiting and she hoped that she wouldn’t have to.“Good morning Miss.” The secretary greeted as Rose walked up to her.“Good morning, my name is Rose Cohen and I have an appointment with Mr. Jones.” Rose was able to keep a smile frozen on her face.The secretary did not bother consulting their
“Sir, how about the meeting with Minister Xing?” Ben was practically panting as he chased after Wayne.“Tell him something important came up and reschedule it.” Wayne said just as the elevator doors shut. The last thing he saw was Ben’s confused expression.He made it down and was trying not to snap at any workers who approached him as he tried to leave Blackstone Corp. He would have taken his helicopter straight from the top of the building if he had known that it was going to be this way.Tom was actually struggling to keep up with him.He felt like the universe was on his side and rooting for him. The universe wanted him to be happy and that was why Rose’s fiancé had not been found. He hated her being sad but it was for the best because he was going to be by her side to comfort her.Wayne was relieved that Victor was still nowhere to be seen. The thought of Victor being found and watching them walk down the aisle caused
“Rose please,” Wayne groaned in agony.“I’m not doing this to get over Victor. I’m doing it because I want to and maybe the thought of Victor is what has been stopping me from making a move. Please don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect anything from you after.It’s not like I’m going to force you to really date me, there are no strings attached. We can just do it and move on; that’s if you are up for it. I’m making everything clear so you can decide if you want to do it. You can say no if you want and there will be no hard feelings, I promise. I don’t think it will ruin our friendship if we do it or if you say no. But that’s in my opinion, not yours.” Rose said sincerely as she watched him. He broke eye contact and lowered his gaze to the bed.She would have wanted things differently because she was more than sexually attracted to Wayne. But she was going to take him in any way she could. It would be nice if she could at least ta
When Rose woke up she noticed that something was a little different. The room was dark but she was able to detect the differences.She was not lying on her side of the bed, her head was on Wayne’s chest and his arm was around her; it was a fantastic position to be in. She also felt a little sore between her legs. They were still naked but the covers were drawn up over themOkay, things were more than a little different.They had done it three times before finally drifting off to sleep. Each time they had been done, they would rest, cuddle, start making out and get all heated up again. The last time had been in the shower and they had collapsed on the bed in sweet exhaustion.Wayne was such a sexy beast.She blushed thinking about some of the things he had done. Well, she was no saint either; she had given him a run for his money.Rose couldn’t help smiling. Who would have thought things would turn out like this?
Wayne, Rose and Maggie finished up with dinner, cleaned up and decided to play a game of Monopoly. They were all sitting on the plush rug in the living room. It was really fun and Rose was soon a property tycoon.“Muahahaha, pay up.” Rose ordered Wayne with a wicked glint in her eye when he landed on one of her properties.“Ouuuuu, I’m not sure you can afford that Wayne. Would you care to declare bankruptcy?” Maggie snickered although she was going to be in trouble too if she landed on one of Rose’s properties.The girl had hotels set up everywhere; it was like navigating through a minefield. Wayne handed Rose some money and she counted it with disdain written on her face.“What’s up with this paltry sum? It’s not even enough payment for a house and I have a hotel built there.” Rose raised a brow.“Oh really? When did you build a hotel there?” Wayne feigned ignorance.“Ages ago now pay up!”“Do you accept payme
Wayne tried to concentrate during his meeting with Minister Xing but it was hard to do that when a sexy vixen like Rose was on his mind. The meeting was held at the Chinese Embassy and Wayne wanted to leave as soon as they were done so he could see Rose.He tried to politely decline the minister’s offer to stay for lunch but had to change his mind when he declared that lunch was a traditional family meal which had been passed down for generations. Wayne tried to eat as politely and fast as he could,He practically jumped for joy when he was done and tried to walk briskly instead of breaking into a run.He missed Rose and wanted to see her as soon as possible. His brain was telling him that he was stupid for getting involved in this kind of situation and he should have kept his distance from Rose to avoid getting hurt.This was someone who was probably still hung up on an absentee fiancé. He couldn’t even find a woman with no baggage; if such a per
Rose was finding it hard to focus for the rest of the day. Maybe she should have just stayed on Wayne’s lap and listened to him talk about his day. But she was the one who had insisted that she needed to get back to work.Damn her for being so hardworking!But she was looking forward to their little date tonight. They had gone on a number of dates during their ‘relationship’ but this was going to be different.What was she going to wear? She really wanted to call Jessica and ask for her opinion. Maybe they could go shopping to get a new outfit for the date. The idea seemed like fun but she still wasn’t ready to tell anyone about what they had decided.Things were really different and she couldn’t exactly figure out why. It felt like she and Jessica had kinda drifted apart. If it had been in the past she would have shared the news as soon as possible. But she was bidding her time now.Maybe it was because a part of her noticed th
“I.. I don’t understand.” Rose was looking at Wayne like he had gone crazy.She should have known that he had something like this up his sleeve. A part of her had thought that they were going for dinner a little early. But she had assumed that was because Wayne had other activities planned out.She didn’t think that it was because they had to fly to the venue!“We are going to board one of my private planes and go for our date.” Wayne repeated slowly in a teasing tone.“I heard you clearly the first time. Wayneeeeee we have work tomorrow, aren’t we going to be tired after with all the flying? I’m not trying to be a buzz kill and I’m sorry if I sound like one.” They would probably make it in time for work but they might be exhausted.“Well, I spoke to the boss and he said we can take the day off tomorrow; problem solved. Plus I don’t think you’re being a buzz kill.” Wayne grinned at her. He knew her well enough and had
