Megan helped Damon with his shirt button, hanging the jacket over his shoulder after ward. She recently finished drying his wet hair with the hand dryer, helping him get dressed.“I'm better at this, you see? I choose a better tuxedo that suits you the best.” Megan bragged with a proud smile on her face, which did not last for long seconds.“Every tuxedo of mine suit me too well, little rose…" He uttered in a flat tone. “...and this is no where excluded from the others.''Her countenance changed without warning. “Learn to be grateful, Damon.'' She muttered with a scoff, letting go of his shoulders. “You should have said something better than this.''“What's much better than the truth?” He asked, earning a glare from Megan.“Forget about this, then.'' She told him, turning her back against him. “Since you've decided not to be nice with word. You should get going, you are late to work already.”She muttered, rushing her words and she made to leave, but Damon caught her arm abruptly, swi
His head was rested on the couch he is sitting on, with his legs majestically crossed over each other. The facial expression is always the same, proud and Stoic and yes, it keeps screaming power and authority. Rhett, though resting his head lazily, he still managed to maintain his intimidating aura that is enough to make anyone around or beside him shiver. His gaze was straight and focused on two humans before him, his secretary and one other staff of his and both look like there were in a very tight spot with no escape route since they won't stop shivering and fidgeting. Rhett smirk increased, and it doesn't look like it would be leaving his face soon. This was what he always like and always want. Fear and authority should always work at hand with each other, this is Rhett's belief, and he makes sure to work towards it. He also makes sure that every staff of his must be clouded in fear whenever they see him, if not, he believes they might take him for granted. Right at the moment
Megan has barely exited the elevator, still smiling broadly with the thought of the best order she would make before Damon would have to join her. She couldn't stop thinking about his sumptuous order at the dinner date Dwayne and the kids partially prepared for them. “Get everything on this page, since she found it hard to choose…” She vividly remembers how he order the waitress and at the thought of it, she felt a familiar sweet sensation in her stomach, making her smile wider. “He is really sweet to begin with.” She mumbled to herself.Megan had barely take ten steps away from the elevator when the smile on her face suddenly vanished as her gaze landed on a familiar silhouette at the counter. He seems to be in a serious conversation with the receptionist. Megan waited a little while to get the proper view of the man to be certain she is not imagining things like she did the previous night at the ball house. The suspected man turns his head sideways, towards the elevator as the r
Damon, who already engaged himself into another project, almost forgot he asked Megan to wait on his, and he promised to only stay back for a few minutes.Damon checked his time and realize it's almost half an hour past since lunch. “She must have been impatiently for me.” Damon said to himself as he hurriedly stood up from his seating, abandoning the project he is working on, which is unlike him.Staring another one glance at his system, he shook his head and wave it off. “That can always wait, but not little rose.” He mumbled under his breath and hurriedly scurried out of his office, finding his way out of his office to the elevator.Normally, Damon preferred the stairs. To him, it's another form of working the muscles, elevators are for the ones would lesser enemies but that moment, he has no other option than using the elevator. He is afraid that Megan might be angry at him already and might decide to stay away from him, like she always tells him to. His head and thinking wasn't
Rhett, after realizing he's still holding the file with him, flings it across the desk angrily. “What is wrong, Rhett? Did it not go well?” Stella asked concerned, seeing the facial expression of Rhett and how angry he is, she knew something must have gone, but she's unable to fathom what it is. Rhett has anger issues, she knows this, but not when it's business related. Stella could only guess maybe he bumped into someone he is not supposed to or perhaps, his proposal got rejected. Those should explain his mood. They're the only things that can trigger so much anger in him. Hearing no reply from him, Stella asked her question again. “Did it not go well?” She requested. “Of course, it did not go well.” He groaned, threw the vase on the shelf next to him as he shot her a glare and Stella noticed the bleeds coming off his nostrils. “Who did this to you? Did you get into a fight?” Stella was worriedly sick, something severe might have happened to him, making her rush towards the shelf
Tatiana stood by the stairs with her arms crossed over her chest as she watched Damon talk with the kids, anyone would notice the bond among them and she was no exclusion. She realized how much he cares about the kids, and Tatiana find herself smiling unconsciously. She decided to stay mute just to watch them for a better chance to join in their conversation, she just don't want to barge in which look a lot easier. “Let's play some indoor games to pass away time till dinner is ready, isn't it, dad?” Jade suggested. “Some thing much more fun.”“Yeah, and your suggestion sound like fun itself.” Damon said and turn to Arielle before standing up on his feet. “Choose a game, I'll be right back.”“But dad…" She whined in protest since she barely knows any game.“No but, Arielle. Come on…" Nell chipped in. “Fine, I'll think of something.” She was barely audible. Why does it have to be her?“Sure, you should. Just few minutes…" Damon said and excused himself from their midst. He stopped to
Stella's back was rested faintly on the door hinge with her arms crossed over her chest, her gaze wasn't any type of soft or anywhere related, just as expected from anyone around Rhett or used to him.“What did you plan on doing since you've learned about this? Are you going to let it slide, maybe?” Stella asked the oh-so silent Rhett. He hasn't been saying much words since he bumps into Megan, and it's already two days since then.Stella knew Rhett was never the type of person who let things slide, not that easily, at least. But she probably don't know what Rhett next thoughts in mind are, what's his plan behind not letting go? She badly wants to know about this, not wanting to be left alone or stranded on whatever he has in mind.“My plan…?” Rhett asked with sarcasm laced in his voice as he rubbed his nose lightly. It still hurts since it got badly broken due to the heavy punch he got from Damon, except the bleeding part which has managed to stop.He's been staying angry at every li
The kids are sitting with Damon in between of them, of course, they are doing the usual of watching television, and with Arielle acting clingy like she always did. This time it's the kid's favorite show instead of Damon's usual soap opera. He seems to be enjoying the time he is spending with them and the kids too as they share different reviews on the various scene of the show. Tatiana, on the other hand, stood at her favorite spot and favorite standing posture, the foot of the staircase and with her hand crossed over her chest. Her gaze was intensive as she thinks over the next trick and tactics she needs to pull again. She felt like she is winning, and she knows she can't lose, the feeling is too strong to ignore and she trusted it. 'The game pawns and the target having a good time together, doesn't it sound fun? Eh?' She mumbled to herself with a dirty smirk on her face.She is really enjoying the sight of watching them together for the sake of them being helpful to her in one
Months has passed since Stella left Rhett and he could not wish for any thing else. With Stella finally leaving him holds a lot of interpretation to him, it was more than a relief.Truth be told, the first few weeks without Stella was bored and he felt empty but he dreaded the wish of having her back but soon enough, he was able to adapt to it.Rhett spend the months alone, burying himself with works and more works. He was not the same hard and temperamental boss he used to be any more and felt more good in himself having a good relationship with them.He is barely seen leaving his seat till the day was over except for if there is a board meeting for him to attend, if not that, he never leaves his seat.The day Megan had paid him a visit and invited him to her wedding, his feelings for her was different. It was far different from lust or love and he loved the feelings a lot. If only he has realized it sooner..."I see no reason for you to decline my invitation coupled with the fact t
By the time he got home, the kids were already in their room and then he went to meet them inside. "Hey kids..." He called out for their attention and they all rushed to him. "Dad..." They hugged him passionately and they could noticed that he has something to tell them. "What's that Dad?" Jade asked after they had disengaged from the hug. "It sees you've got something to tell us, spill it out." "Yeah, right..." Damon admitted and nodded in agreement. "You should guess who is here, kids." The kids were confused, someone has really came to visit them? They are not really good at guessing but they have to try this time around, who could have visit them today? "Is it Tatiana?" Arielle asked with smiles on her face, she could barely think of any other person than her old friend. "Nope..." Damon shook his head in disagreement earning a frown look from Arielle. "Jason's Mum?" Nell questioned hoping his guess was right but was disappointed when Damon said no to him too. "You kids sh
The silence was deafening as it hang awkwardly on the air. It seems like the two humans opposite each other were being forbidden to utter even a single words.Damon's face was bent as his eyes were strongly fixated on the files on his table. He badly wanted to talk to her, to say some thing to her —any thing!His heart ached as his feelings were growing faster again for her, his mouth yearn for him to confess every thing to her —every thing he ever felt for, without holding back or hiding any of it from her.But then he can't! The thought of him holding back breaks him more than ever and clearly enough to make him go crazy and nut.The lady before him wasn't the same Megan he know —no, she turns out to be a different version and total opposite of her.He vividly remembered the first day they had met and had called her by her name but then..."Megan..." He called her in his oh–so–calmed voice, stopping her abruptly on her track.She turned towards him with an innocent smile on her face
Rhett continue to stare at Stella wondering how and why she had did it. How could Stella have done some thing so despicable like that.For all these years, he had trust her not knowing she is just a wolf in sheep clothing. Had Stella not told him that Megan was having extra affair outside the relationship and he had foolishly trust her knowing full well that she is Megan's friend and will not lie on her? Stella was feeling uncomfortable with this unusual stare that Rhett is giving her. He had never gave her this kind of look and Stella did not know why he is doing so now.He had left the office quite early this morning after they had a lively conversation. Although, Rhett never told her where he was going even when she asked him severally.But now, ever since he returned, he had not say a word to her rather, he was just staring at her with boiling rage. "Rhett..." Stella called since she could no longer bear the silence and weird attitude Rhett is putting on. "What exactly is the p
"Hey there, Meg..." Rhett hailed casually with smiles in his face unsure of the right word to use for her. "It's so good to see you after all these years." "Hi, Rhett. Its so good to see you too." Megan reciprocated although without smiles. "Maybe, though." "To be sincere Meg, I really looked for you after the day you chased me like a pest from your house." Rhett told her, rubbing his palm together. "But each time I keep coming, I always find the door locked and I usually don't get the chance of seeing you too. I really looked for you but all my efforts proved futile. It produce no reward or effect but yet, I never gave up on searching for you until the day we meet at that board meeting." Megan leaned her back on the chair as if she's enjoying the conversation which she is not. She know Rhett won't leave if she did not comply with him. Yeah, she have to act in accordance with him for today. "And what would you have done if you have find me then, eh?" Megan questioned in a demandi
"So what were you saying when we were at the car pack earlier?" Rhett questioned. "Now I can hear you with my full ears." "That question should go to you, Rhett." Stella told him in reply. "That question is not meant for me but you because you are the one asking me about her." "I know so." Rhett nods slowly. "But then you have not given me a positive reply." "Come to think of it Rhett, why would you be asking me of her. Do I look like her keeper to you or am I the one who had invited her to the board meeting." Stella was visibly angry and Rhett know so. "Your answer seems suspicious." Rhett told her. "I just asked you a simple question but you flared up as if what I was asking is a prohibition." "It is indeed prohibited if you did not know." Stella replied almost yelling but was wise enough to control her self. "And have you forgotten the punishment she deserves for hindering your clients from patronizing you any longer. Are you now going to back off all because the firm owner
Immediately the meeting had come to an end, Stella walked out hurriedly as if was probably heading somewhere or maybe there is someone already waiting outside for her and she need to see the person as soon as possible. She did not bother to wait for Rhett who was still talking to some business partner inside the conference hall. "I need to talk to her as soon as I can before Rhett would notice." She said to herself as she wait endlessly for Megan. Just as she was tempted to check what's keeping Megan in for so long, she saw her walk out of the hall all alone. "It just work on my own favour. She's coming out alone and I like the fact that she is." Stella smile wryly as she appeared at the front of Megan giving her that mischievous grin of hers. "Hey there, Miss Starks..." Stella hailed but yet, Megan is not that daft not to have noticed the sarcasm laced in Stella's word. "Good to see you again, I guess so." Megan did not have the time to exchange words with Stella –it would be
Could this really be her? Rhett doubt it but then, the secretary had just mentioned her name as Miss Starks and that is Megan's surname and he knew so.Could this really means Megan's owns the new firm which has been hindering his clients from patronizing him any longer.If truly she's the owner, then will he still go ahead on investigating and punishing the firm owner? He know he can't do such not when the firm is that of Megan's own. But where have she been all this while and only to return and then built a currently rising firm which has also be the talk of the town too.How could she have possibly done this in just a few time and yet, he never got the clue that she is already in town. Rhett never knew Megan to be this clever such in a way that she would have built such a firm in just a short period of time. "That means we should not underestimate any one no matter the position we find them." Rhett conclude within himself as he watch Megan take her seat and the new Megan seems
Rhett sat impatiently waiting for Stella who seems not to be coming anytime soon. He had asked her to meet him since ten minutes ago but she is not yet to come. He was tempted to call her but he changed his mind again. "What is even taking her so long to arrive." Rhett wonder. "And she is aware of the board meeting we are attending. But yet she is taking ages to arrive here." After what seems like eternity to Rhett, Stella walked him giving him that lustful smile but Rhett is in no mood to reciprocate. "Hey there, Rhett..." Stella greet walking closer to him to give him a slight hug. "Your face looks gloomy, what's wrong with you?" "Just take a look at the time, Stella." Rhett said ignoring her question. "You are already fifteen minutes late to the time I asked you to arrive." "Chill dear..." Stella smiled at him as she sat on the table next to Rhett. "It was not my fault that I am late. And besides have I ever came late or disappoint you before." "Then why did you do so this
