RachelAs I walked away from the hall Chase booked for himself, I felt my heart send signals of pain to my brain.I could not breath.Something that was second nature to me before became unfamiliar.I went back to the hot spring section Chase had booked for the normal employees.I don't know where he situated the higher ups and I did not care to know.It felt like the evil glee in Julie's eyes kept mocking me repeatedly.For a moment, the logical part of my brain turned off.I just wanted to curl into myself and cry.I did not take Chase to be this kind of person.I knew that what I saw might just be what Julie wanted me to see.Still, my heart pulsated in intense pain.I could not stand it.I could not stand seeing Chase with another woman.He was mine.When I was leaving, I heard footsteps following me. I knew that Chase was chasing after me.I knew he wanted to explain but I did not want to see him right now.I found a secluded corner to stay when I got to the section Chase booked
RachelOnly God alone would be able to save her from Chase's claws."She wanted to cause misunderstanding between us. She wanted to do what was beyond her reach." Chase said.His words sent shivers through my body but it was not in a spine-chilling way.I shrugged the feeling away.Still, an angry Chase was enthralling.I folded my hands and moved closer to the wall.I rested some of my weight on the wall.Immediately I moved, Chase's eyes followed me like an hawk.His attention and fear made a sprout of happiness grow.I straightened my lips.I was enjoying this way too much.I don't know where the person that was wallowing in sadness and pain just moments ago went.The moment I figured everything out, I felt refreshed.I even had the time to observe Chase carefully."I know." I said.I didn't say another word."I know you are angry and I under—" Chase started before he trailed off.He stared at me in shock.Chase normally hides his emotions and thoughts behind his dark pupils.This
RachelThe night flashed by.I wished it would have been slower.That physical and soulful connection Chase and I shared was something I wanted to experience again and again.I don't know if it is because of my tiny bit of inferiority.I sometimes feel like I did not deserve Chase at all so I wanted to feel his touch every now and then.It might not necessarily be sexual intimacy.Talking to him while leaning on his body, going for walks and just sleeping side by side was things I look forward to.I sat up and stretched.Chase beside me. He was already awake.He was just watching me unblinkingly.It was like I was a rare find.I cleared my throat, "Why are you staring?"He chuckled as his hand rose to my cheeks. He rubbed them a little.The little blush on them spread like a prairie fire."I am looking at something beautiful." Chase replied with a smile.The scenes from yesterday's passionate night rushed to my mind again and my blush deepened.My thoughts can be traitorous.It would
RachelThe room was quiet so Chase heard everything that transpired.He peered into my phone and he saw the message detailing our relationship."Rachel, don't worry. I will give you a satisfactory ending and answer to all this." Chase consoled."Okay." I replied.Patricia would be doomed now.I don't know why she insisted on seeking the path to her destruction."Freshen up. Let's go the the headquarters. Wear something formal." Chase said as he stood up and went to the bathroom.I came down from the bed too."Chase, I didn't bring any of my formal clothes here." I said loudly, "I think I will just borrow one of your shirts and one of your shorts. You would then follow me to my house so I can change.""Alright." Chase answered.Chase was very fast.He finished bathing and wearing his clothes quickly.I knew Chase was going to do something huge.His face was set in a stern line.It remained like that after he read the message on the group chat.He was very unhappy.I continued reading t
RachelI could sense that Chase was in a hurry to do something about the message that was pinned to the group chat.I did not want to waste his time so we hurried into the house.If I did not meet Norman on my way to change, I would not specially look for him.Time was tight.I had already made up my mind to tell Norman about the relationship between me and Chase later.As soon as I rushed inside the house, I saw Norman on the couch watching a football game.He was extremely focused but when I came in, he looked towards me.He stared at my face for a second before his eyes dropped to my hands.I and Chase's hands was clasped together.Norman tilted his head to the side on confusion.Thankfully, Norman was accessable.I did not have to look for him in my haste."Norman, Chase and I are in a relationship. We are planning to get married too." I announced.It felt like I dropped a bomb.Norman blinked rabidly in shock."What?!" He finally voiced out."Don't be too shocked. Calm down." I s
RachelChase's words basically confirmed my guess and I was finally free to be happy now.It felt like it was yesterday that Chase and I confirmed our relationship.Now, we were going to announce our relationship.We were going to let the world know about us.Unconsciously, a smile adorned my lips.I did not want to disturb Chase and his preparations.I just sat on the Chair and watched him.His phone rang.Chase picked the call."Sir, the meeting is about to hold. It is going to be held in Hall 2A. I have contacted reporters and the media. The necessary personnel are already present." Mr Briggs said."Okay, I will be there." Chase replied before hanging up.He looked at me, "Rachel, let's go."I nodded and I rose to my feet.We walked to Hall 2A.Chase strode in confidently and I copied his actions.There was a long table that gleamed with a bright light and black chairs surrounding the table.There was only one chair at the head of the table.The table and the chairs framing it remi
RachelChase led me to the huge doors of the exquisite mansion before us.He didn't get to do anything before the door swung open.A middle-aged man with a polite smile held the door open.He was in uniform that had just two colors, white and black.His black hair was slicked back with gel.There was not anything out of place with his dressing, expression and actions."Master, you are back." He greeted and Chase nodded in acknowledgement."Where is grandmother?" Chase asked as he folded the sleeves of his white shirt.He had discarded the suit jacket ages ago.He left the suit jacket in the car."Old Madame and Madame are in the living room." The butler said.The butler began to lead the way.Chase and I followed silently.Chase held my hand.I did not know that a tiny layer of sweat had gathered in my palm."Don't be nervous." Chase consoled me again.I nodded and he squeezed my hand in encouragement.I smiled at him.Soon, we arrived at the living room.The moment I entered the livi
RachelThe brief holiday Chase and I took was finally over.It was time to resume work again.Today had been tedious.Chase and I was extremely busy.We didn't know the immense workload that was waiting for us after the holidayAfter working for hours, Chase and I only had a brief moment to share an encouraging kiss.Then, we threw ourselves back into our work again.I looked at the wristwatch on my wrist.I heaved a sigh of relief when I caught sight of the time.It was time for my 30 minutes lunch break.I wanted to get Chase something.My heart ached as I stared at his working figure.I don't know why he was working this hard. I don't know if it is my narrow-minded view that was influencing me.I felt like Chase was stressing himself unnecessarily.He had wealth that would last for generations.He could work but it shouldn't be a do or die matter.He didn't even look like he notices that it was time for a lunch break.He was typing something into his computer.He did not ask for fo
