LAURA'S POVAfter my encounter with Bryan Finch, I decided to be more careful. After all, it's not every day you get your boss to do something so private to you at the back of his car. I rubbed my face as I blushed red at the thought of it. Bryan Finch is the naughtiest man alive. What was I even thinking?I knew we were going back to the States today, and I might not get to see him until it was Monday.Deep down, I was very happy about that. In fact, I wanted things to remain professional between us. It never ends well when two people decide to mix business with pleasure. Tying my hair in a neat pony, I checked my outfit in the mirror and sighed softly. I walked towards the bed to make sure all my things were in order.When I got downstairs, Mr. Finch was standing close to the exit door while making a phone call. He noticed me approaching, and he hung up the call."Good morning, Mr. Finch," I greeted him, and he smiled."I see we have gone back to being professional with each other
LAURA'S POVI did not get a word from Mr. Finch throughout the weekend, which was quite disappointing. But then, I was happy about it because the man always finds a way to disturb my weekend with his long line of work to keep me busy. After our encounter, he hasn't texted or called to give me a workload. I used to feel like the man was an enemy of my peace of mind. That night, after dinner, Kora left for her place because her boyfriend was around, and she didn't want him to sleep alone. The weekend was spent doing house chores, shopping for groceries, and watching new episodes of my favourite TV shows.I hissed in frustration. How I hate Monday mornings. Aside from the fact that I'm not a morning person, it provokes the living daylights out of me that I have to wake up to another hectic day at the office. After changing into something decent and classy, I made my way out of my apartment with my bag in hand. "Good morning, Miss Laura," my neighbour greeted me, and I smiled in his di
BRYAN'S POVLaura was pissed off when she left my office, it was quite obvious from the way she shut the door angrily on her way out.After everything, I just needed relief from some stress. Cressida is someone I've been consistent with ever since I lost Mia.Yes, I had a few other mistresses because getting laid was my way of escaping pain, something I intend to do with Laura.The girl was already pissing me off with her attitude, even if I like a good challenge, I wasn't the type to chase a woman for long. Getting my previous assistants to bed wasn't hard, but Laura was making things tough for me. My mind went back to our encounter during the trip, and I sighed. Rubbing my face, I stared at my phone, which rang on the table. The caller ID showed it was my best friend Trenton."Hey," I said immediately I picked up the call."The contract is ready, that's if you still want it," he stated, and I smirked."Let's meet up, later in the day," I stated, and he hung up the call.It was obvi
LAURA'S POVAfter another hectic day at work, I just wanted to avoid anything that had to do with Mr. Finch and focus on calming my nerves. I dropped my bag on the table and headed to the bathroom to freshen up and change into something more decent and comfortable for the night. As I pulled my hair into a messy bun, I heard my phone ringing. Sighing softly, I walked towards the bed, picked it up, and stared at the caller ID calmly. The incoming call was from my sister, Cindy. I've spent the biggest part of my life living like I don't even have a family. It's not like they're my real family anyway. I was adopted from an orphanage home, and after my foster dad died, his wife, my foster mom, took it upon herself to make life a living hell for me.I don't know who my real parents are, and I've been all by myself ever since. "Cindy," I said immediately I picked up the call, and I heard her sigh on the other end."Laura, how are you? Mom has been trying to reach you for weeks. It's beginn
BRYAN'S POVI know Laura was not going to give in to my advances just like that, but what I was not expecting was to walk into my office and not catch a glimpse of her. I asked the lady at the front desk, and she confirmed Laura's absence at the office, which further provoked me.Letting it slide, I went about my daily business until we closed for the day. "Did you get what I asked you for?" I asked Denver, as I walked out of my office with my blazer in hand. "Yes sir," he answered, and he handed me the note."Are you sure you don't want me to drive you there, boss?" He asked with concern."You know I can handle myself just fine," I responded, and he nodded.As I got into my car, my phone rang, and I groaned frustratedly. Immediately, I saw the caller ID. I stared at it for a while before picking it up ."Good evening, mama," I said with a soft smile playing on my lips as I leaned into the chair properly."Bryan, you have refused to call your mother ever since you returned to the S
LAURA'S POV'What does he want from me?' I wondered, and as I walked back to the sitting room and he was still there, I stared at him, and he smiled."What do you want from me? Just go straight to the point, SIR ..." I said, stressing the last part, when I saw the lust in his eyes.I hate it when men stare at me like this, but there was something about the way he stared at me that made me nervous. The annoying papers he sent me were still on the table, and that only made my mood sour."I want you," he acknowledged, and my eyes widened."What!" I yelled in shock.'What does he mean by that? Did he take me for some cheap whore or what?' I wondered as I glared daggers at him.After the stupid stunts he has been pulling and his little secret, that makes him more mysterious. What makes him think I will agree to his madness?"You can't want me, sir." I fumed in anger."Name your price," he said arrogantly, and my blood rushed with rage."How dare you, Mr. Finch?""You can't walk into my hou
LAURA'S POVWe got to the place, and it was a luxurious mansion, unlike his penthouse the other night.The security was top-notch; I mean, whoever tries to bypass the security would end up losing his or her life first.As we strolled into the house, I saw Mr. Finch and two good looking men having a conversation together.The guy who was sitting opposite Mr. Finch was smoking. Not like I'm trying to judge, but c'mon, isn't it too early?I froze as the familiar hazel eyes scanned me from head to toe.I checked my outfit to see if I dressed provocatively, but I didn't. In fact, I made sure, I did not expose any part of my body to his lustful eyes.I was clad in a red dress that hugged my figure. It was a handless gown, and I had a scarf around my neck.He stared at me amusingly, and I rolled my eyes. "Good morning, Laura. As I said earlier, we will be having a meeting with my trusted attorney. This is Mr. Trenton, my lawyer, who happens to be a close friend." He introduced the handsome m
BRYAN'S POV"Send me to jail then," she insisted. I'm not going to lie, I was shocked."Miss Laura, you need to calm down first. We can conclude that no one needs to go to jail," Trenton suggested, and she sighed."It's pretty obvious your friend wouldn't take a no for an answer, so I rather stay in prison." She declared firmly, not giving in and I chuckled."I'm sorry for his attitude Miss Laura. We can do something about the situation," Trenton tried to persuade her, but she was not ready to back down."Sex six times in a week is just absurd, and I agree with you, Miss Laura. I think we should reduce it," Trenton suggested."I'm not sleeping with him, that's it," she declared, not accepting otherwise, as if the thought of sleeping with me scared her away.Girls would do anything to be in my arms, I've been the one saying no, but here's this hazel-eyed beauty saying no to me, and meaning every single word."Fine, since you do not want to be intimate with me it's okay. I won't force y
