The Billionaire's Stripper Putting her in her place
Charlotte's face was slowly overtaken by a smile, unable to contain her surprise at Lucas' gesture - he had bought her a shoe. She took it out to examine it, and to her amazement, it was the perfect size. How did Lucas manage to get it right without her even mentioning her shoe size? Then it dawned on her, remembering how he had helped soothe her legs by applying aspirin. That must have been the clue, she thought to herself.Her smile widened at the realization that this was the first time someone had given her a gift that she truly needed. With work keeping her occupied, she had neglected to take care of herself and replace her worn-out shoes.But as her excitement bubbled up inside her, she couldn't help but feel anxious. Why did Lucas buy her a shoe? Was it just a kind gesture or was there something more? She tried to push away these thoughts, but they kept nagging at her, causing a mix of emotions to flood her mind - confusion and excitement swirling together.When it was time to
The Billionaire's Stripper can't shake off the nagging feeling
In the late afternoon, Charlotte found herself mopping the floor, but her thoughts constantly drifted to her encounter with Ms. Vanessa earlier. She couldn't help but feel agitated and question what Ms. Vanessa meant by ensuring she got kicked out. What was she plotting against her? These thoughts consumed her as she desperately sought answers.This woman, Ms. Vanessa, was much worse than Ms. Elora. Charlotte couldn't comprehend why they had a problem with her, as she wasn't trying to come between Lucas and anyone else; if he truly wanted them, he would be with them. She didn't understand why they felt the need to throw themselves at him, or why they were taking their disappointments out on her when they get rejected. But her confusion only grew as she remembered Lucas's attempts to kiss her earlier that day in the elevator, and even the night before. What did he want from her? Why couldn't he just leave her alone? He seemed to bring nothing but trouble into her life. Was this what S
The Billionaire's Stripper A love confession?
Lucas immediately pursued Charlotte, disregarding Monica's presence. He called out to her from behind, but she paid no attention, consumed by anger.As Charlotte approached the entrance, Lucas grasped her hand, halting her. "Let go of me, Lucas!" she shouted, avoiding his gaze as her eyes welled up with tears."Charlotte, please calm down and listen to me," Lucas pleaded, pulling her close so she could no longer avoid his gaze. "I brought you here, allow me to take you home."Despite his grip, Charlotte continued to resist, "Let me go! I have no desire to hear anything you have to say," Charlotte fought against his grasp."Then at least let me take you home," Lucas insisted, still holding her hands. Their eyes met for a moment, and Lucas noticed the tears welling in hers. He tried to wipe them away, but Charlotte pushed his hands away."Don't touch me!" she choked out. "So all your kind gestures were just out of pity for me?" she accused."Charlotte, what are you talking about? Don't
The Billionaire's Stripper A birthday treat
Charlotte stormed into his office, her face seething with anger. However, Lucas seemed entirely unperturbed as he was engrossed in his documents, completely oblivious to her presence. She stood there, studying him intently and simultaneously scanning his office for any clues that would indicate whether he and Vanessa had something going in the office, but to no avail.Frustration only mounted as she clenched her fists and continued to stare at him, questioning if the kiss they shared had any significance to him. Was everything he said to her last night just a ploy to lead her on? Tears threatened to spill as she struggled to find the answers.Finally, Lucas looked up from his papers and noticed Charlotte, a faint smile playing on his lips. This only provoked her further, her confusion growing as she tried to decipher the meaning behind his smile. All she knew was that he was toying with her emotions."Charlotte... How was your night—" Lucas began, but before he could finish his sente
The Billionaire's Stripper what could my birthday gift be...?
Charlotte was engrossed in her dinner preparations when her phone rang, an unfamiliar number flashing on the screen. Her curiosity piqued, she stepped away from the gas stove and answered with furrowed brows."Hello?" She responded, holding her phone to her ear."Hello, Ms. Thompson. It's Lilian. I have something important to discuss with you. Can you meet me at St. Viane's or should I send a driver for you?" Lilian's voice echoed through the phone.Charlotte's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't understand why Lilian would suddenly want to meet with her. Was there a problem at the office? But if there was, why not just ask her to come back instead of meeting at the most luxurious fashion house in the city?"Hello, Ms. Thompson?" Lilian's voice called out again, interrupting her thoughts."Yes, I'm here. Is there an issue at work?" Charlotte asked, her heart racing."No, no issues at all, Ms. Thompson. I just need to discuss something with you," Lilian replied."Ah, I see. Well, I'll m
The Billionaire's Stripper ...was that night truly a mistake?
Charlotte observed Lucas let out a deep sigh, his expression shifting to one of disappointment. "Where did you leave it?" she asked, her concern evident."It must be at my place... I can't believe I forgot such an important thing. I'm sorry, Charlotte," he sobbed, making his way back to his seat."Let's go get it then," Charlotte suggested, trying to alleviate his disappointment and satisfy her curiosity about the gift that had him feeling this way."Are you sure? I said it's at my place," Lucas replied, surprised by her insistence."Yes, I know. You'll get the gift and we'll go," Charlotte insisted, standing up from her seat. She couldn't help but notice a small smirk forming on Lucas' face.Charlotte wasn't entirely sure why she made that suggestion, or why she wanted to retrieve the gift from his place when she knew being in the same space would be suffocating for her. But she convinced herself they were just going to get the gift and nothing more as they walked to his car.Once th
The Billionaire's Stripper The reason for his smiles
Lucas's pulse quickened with anticipation for her reply. The question lingered in his mind, but he couldn't shake it - ever since Charlotte had revealed their night together was a mistake, he hadn't been himself. It wasn't just about his ego anymore.He noticed Charlotte avoiding his gaze and heaved a heavy sigh, "... No Lucas... It wasn't... I was just really mad at you —" she retorted, but Lucas cut her off."That's all I needed to hear," he said with a smile slowly creeping onto his face, his bruised ego finally healed."Thank you, Lucas, for the gift, the dress, everything. You made my birthday truly special," she stammered, nervously fingering the pendant of her necklace."You're welcome," Lucas replied with a grin, checking his watch for the time."Oh, it's getting late. It's already past 11, I should take you home," he said quickly, getting up and leading her to the car.The next day at work, Lucas was sitting at his desk, sorting through some documents when Vanessa knocked on
The Billionaire's Stripper Two days without him...
Charlotte arrived at work the following morning, diving into her daily tasks before heading to Lucas' office to take care of the trash. Upon entering, she found the office empty, leading her to believe that Lucas had an early morning meeting and would return later. She left with the trash bag in tow.As she disposed of the trash, Leah informed her and the other cleaners that their supervisor had called for a meeting. This was unusual, and they immediately hurried to her office, curious about the reason for the sudden gathering."I have gathered you all here to share some great news. There has been a new addition to our annual workshop retreat at the company," the supervisor announced with a smile on her face.Whispers broke out among the cleaners, all eager to know about the new development."This year, the cleaning department will have the opportunity to participate, promoting growth and teamwork within our company," she continued, beaming at her staff.Excitement spread across their

"Hurry up, Charlotte!" Leah hissed, urging Charlotte as they rushed into the airport. The day had arrived for their retreat, and they were expected to meet the others at the airport before boarding their flight together.As they approached the rest of their group, they quickly joined them and boarded the plane when it arrived. Leah sat next to Charlotte, both of them bubbling with excitement for the trip. Who would have thought they would be traveling to California?As they settled into their seats, Charlotte couldn't help but gaze at the clouds outside the window. Her mind wandered back to Lucas and how their friendship had blossomed over the past three weeks. She was going to be away from him for a whole week, and the thought made her heart ache. She remembered their conversation from last night, where she had almost asked him to come along on the trip. But she hesitated, unsure if it was right to make such a request. After all, they were just friends, and he hadn't officially aske
The Billionaire's Stripper Taking their time
At the behest of Lucas, Charlotte's eyes widened in disbelief, "Stay the night?!" She exclaimed, her gaze fixed on him, while he held her hand."Yes, I don't want you to go back home," Lucas declared, resting his head on her body."I really can't, Lucas. I have work tomorrow--" Charlotte hesitated, but Lucas cut her off."I'm sick. My body hurts, my head hurts, everything hurts," he grumpily complained, hoping to convince her to stay with him."Lucas, that's why you need to take your medications seriously and rest," Charlotte stressed, gazing over his head at her chest."I am taking them, but I want you to spend the night with me. I'll feel much better by morning," Lucas' lips formed a smile.Charlotte was taken aback by Lucas' childish behavior. "Why are you acting like a child?" She scoffed, running her hand through his hair."Because I'm ill, and you should take care of me," he insisted."And you'll feel better by tomorrow?" She asked, her brows furrowed in concern."Yes, as good a
The Billionaire's Stripper Stay with me tonight
Shockwaves coursed through her body, sending shivers down her spine. With quick reflexes, she turned around to see Lucas, holding her hands with his eyes barely open. A sense of relief washed over her as she met his gaze, her own eyes brightening with a smile."He...eyy, you're here," Lucas said softly, his voice barely audible. Charlotte moved closer to him, taking a seat beside him on the bed."Are you awake? How are you feeling? Are you in any pain? Are you okay?" she fired off the questions hesitantly, her concern evident.Lucas chuckled, "Relax, Charlotte. I'm not dying," he said, still holding onto her hands."This is no time to joke, Lucas," she scolded, removing her hand from his and placing it on his forehead to check his temperature. It seemed to have returned to normal."I was worried—" Charlotte began to say, before catching herself and stopping mid-sentence, avoiding his gaze.Lucas smiled, "Really? You were worried? I had to get sick for you to show me you care?" he tease
The Billionaire's Stripper She knew she wouldn't be able to function
With Lilian gone, Charlotte's brisk pace became sluggish and lifeless as she trudged down the stark hallway, her mind frozen at what she had just heard from Lilian. How could he have collapsed two days ago when he had been the one to drop her off at home? Then it hit her - on that same day, he had looked pale and when she expressed concern, he brushed it off as a mere migraine. He was clearly unwell, but he chose to downplay it."Did he do that to spare me worry? How could he be so stubborn about his health?" Charlotte muttered to herself, growing frustrated at the thought of him being sick and worried about his well-being.Panic started to set in as she considered the worst-case scenarios of his collapse and she came to a halt. "I need to see him," she thought to herself, knowing she wouldn't be able to rest until she saw him and knew for sure that he was alright. As the day drew to a close, she hurriedly booked a taxi and made her way to his place. She didn't question her impulsive
