Charlotte retreated to a secluded rare within the office building to attend to her phone call, eager to escape from the unwavering gaze of Lucas. She could sense that he may have gathered some information about her, but she couldn't be certain.She answered Ella's call with cordial greetings, and she immediately inquired, "Do you happen to know Mr. Lucas George, the CEO of that renowned corporation?"At the mere mention of his name, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat, wondering why Ella was suddenly asking about him."What...what about him?" Charlotte stumbled over her words."Do you know him, Charlotte?" Ella repeated, awaiting a response.Charlotte remained silent for a few seconds, feeling both scared and confused. She didn't know what to say, she couldn't grasp what was happening. "Well, he came to the club yesterday with a photo of you, asking if I was familiar with you. He was searching for you, but since you have refused to confide in me, I'll end this call," Ella threatened, tea
Lucas stood at the entrance as he watched the cleaner leave. Earlier, he had overheard her conversation with someone on the phone, and from what he heard he was sure it was something related to him.He had heard her say she was going to meet the person at a club at 8 pm, and anxiety settled in his heart as he suspected that was where she was headed.He discreetly trailed her from behind unknowingly as she boarded a bus, a sense of uneasiness settled in his chest as to what he would find out about her because he knew she was hiding something.She came down at the bus stop, and he watched her closely as she walked down the busy streets filled with lights, while he drove in the shadows to avoid her noticing him. His mind was filled with mixed feelings, he didn't know what he was doing, but he could not miss the opportunity to satisfy his curiosity.As she got to the entrance of the club, Lucas's eyes widened with recognition, it was the same club he met the stripper, and that intensified
"What is this, Uriel?" Lucas questioned in frustration. "I asked you to leave--"His words were cut short as Uriel interrupted, placing a finger to her lips in a shushing motion. Then she slowly placed his hand on her firm breast, letting out soft moans in pleasure. "I want you so badly right now, please fuck me," she whispered, her hand grazing his towel to touch his hard dick. As the towel fell to the ground, Lucas's resistance crumbled. Uriel rubbed on his dick while she still held his hand on her breast, rubbing on it."Please fuck me Lucas, I want you to shove all of this dick in my pussy" She moaned. "Stop, Uriel," he protested weakly. "Let's not do this anymore. I can't be with you, don't you get it?."But Uriel was relentless, dropping to her knees and taking his fully erect dick into her mouth while rubbing it gently with her gaze firmly fixed on Lucas. Lucas squinted with resistance, but the warmth and wetness of her mouth made it nearly impossible to resist. He stood stil
Charlotte left Lucas's office as he demanded and rested on the door as she closed it, wondering what could have happened that made him angry early in the morning.As she walked down the hallway, she reminisced about the conversation she had with Ella the previous night. Ella had advised to resign since she was so scared of him finding out about her identity, that it was only a matter of time before Lucas found out. According to Ella, Lucas George was a conceited billionaire who would stop at nothing to uncover the truth. And if he did, Charlotte would undoubtedly face his wrath for deceiving him.Charlotte wasted no time in tendering her resignation letter, unwilling to risk exposure to Lucas's wrath. She had stated in the letter to stop the following month because she knew she needed to save up some more money, and getting a job within the City was a hassle she wasn't ready for.Later that evening, Charlotte received a call from her ex-boyfriend, Maxwell, who claimed to be waiting ou
Charlotte arrived at work in the early hours of the morning and promptly resumed her tasks. While running errands throughout the day, she chanced upon Lucas conversing with two staff members outside his office. As she passed by and greeted him, he barely acknowledged her, choosing instead to glance in her direction.This made her wonder if he had reverted back to his previous attitude towards her, perhaps realizing that she was not the one he had been searching for all along. The thought was a relief for Charlotte, as she eagerly awaited the end of the month when she would finally be able to leave without any complications.After lunch, as she made her way through the lobby, she noticed a gathering of staff members and cleaners, all assembled at the entrance of the door. This was unusual, as they only did this when welcoming Lucas. However, she had seen him in his office earlier that morning, which piqued her curiosity. She stopped at a distance to observe, and that's when she noticed
As Lucas approached the two ladies, observing their struggles. He had been eavesdropping on their discourse and felt compelled to intervene upon witnessing Elora's hand poised to strike Charlotte, an action that ignited his fury.The ladies' countenances displayed shock as he approached from a distance.Elora hastily withdrew her hand and released Charlotte, trembling with fear."Ms. Elora, did I not explicitly caution you? This is a place of business and should be treated as such," Lucas declared, hands in his pockets."I...I apologize, sir, it won't happen again" Elora stuttered, avoiding his gaze and trembling in fear."Apologize? You were about to strike Ms. Thompson, correct?" Lucas pressed."I'm sorry, sir, she provoked me...she disrespected me," Elora choked out.Lucas' gaze shifted to Charlotte, who stood with her eyes fixed on the ground, before returning to Elora."Does that give you the prerogative to assault a colleague?" Lucas reprimanded."No...no, sir," Elora stammered.
Charlotte's eyes widened as she heard what Lucas had just blurted out, her heart dropped to her stomach as she felt Lucas's breath tingling her neck. How was it possible that he was so sure she was the stripper, there's no way, he just wanted her to admit to his claims, she thought.“Sir I don't know what you are talking about, please let me go, you are hurting me ", she cried out, refusing to give in to his claims.Lucas applied pressure to her hands and continued, “You are still going to lie? How is it that you have the same necklace as the stripper, then? Explain to me!” He fumed.Charlotte struggled with him as tension lingered in the air, she feared what Lucas might do to her if she admitted to it, why was he so desperate to know whether she was the stripper or not? What does he want to do with her? She thought.Charlotte groaned in pain as she tried to distract him to think of an answer to his question.“Answer me, bitch!” He growled.“…. I don't know which stripper you are tal
Lucas stared blankly at his laptop screen, frustrated as he failed at trying to get Charlotte to admit the truth. He was more thwarted at the fact that he couldn't bring himself to tell her that he saw her with Ella at the club. He felt that would have made her feel like she was special for him to have trailed her to the club.The more she lied, the more angry he got, but he wasn't going to give up. He was willing to do anything to make sure she admitted to the truth, he was desperate to know why it was so difficult for her that she had to lie.They went around in circles like that for a week, but Charlotte fended off his advances, still maintaining her innocence and refusing to budge. The more Lucas saw her, the angrier he got that she considered him to be a fool.Charlotte threatened his ego so much because he knew that there were thousands of girls out there willing to have him all to their selves, but she was there denying his existence. The annoying part is he doesn't understand
"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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
