Still, in a daze, Lexie went back to the hospital just before dinner time. After their meeting, she has already taken part in the planning and thankfully, she brought her iPad where she had several designs she had already finished aside from the ones she submitted.
They have done a lot earlier. And with Emily and Jason's supervision, she learned a lot. Tomorrow she will be back for the finalization of the already approved designs. She will be choosing the fabric and all its accessories. Which will be forwarded for production. She can't believe, soon she will see her design materialize. They are in a hurry for the three weeks time frame before the launch. And the pressure is mostly on her as the added designer. Later she plans to add some intricate details to the remaining designs she has. It's quite tiring but at the same time satisfying. It has been her dream to make her designs into reality. For someone to wear them. And she will make sure she will nailEnjoying his lips against her burning skin, she explores his toned muscles as she used to do back then. Lucien is a demigod. His tan skin, his slightly masculine athletic physique, his towering height, his dominant aura, the powerful contour of his face making him look fierce, the enigma surrounding his mere presence, and not to mention the billions of dollars net worth. He is a whole package, beyond any woman's dream. And she has him now, craving for her body. For how long, she doesn't know. And she doesn't want to entertain insignificant thoughts at this time. She will enjoy him as he will enjoy her.Her palms trail down, fervently touching his washboard abs she missed so much. Her hands find every curve and crevice of his perfectly toned body."Ahhh...missed your touch so much... Touch me more, Zia" he panted with his ragged breaths. His kisses were trailing down her neck down to her prominent collar bone until he reaches her mounts."Ahhhn..." her moan
After the steamy encounter, they had last night, Lexie becomes more comfortable around him. She made sure not to elude whenever he initiated to touch her.Thankfully, Lucy is still peacefully asleep when they went out of the bathroom. And had their late dinner in comfortable silence.With three weeks timetable, she becomes busy with the team of Silhouettes Designs. She has no time to dally. She had visited the production site to choose the fabrics for her every design, which she had so much fun with. Aside from the clothes she designed, she also included a few bags as a customized accessories for her collection.She even proposed contracting Dom for one of the designs of her bag. A customized hand-painted handbag.Submitting her proposal to Eve and the president, she hopes it will be approved. She would love to showcase Dom's arts in her creations.They were in the middle of checking the swatches for the designs when a report on the televis
After two weeks of being confined in a luxurious hospital suite, Lucy is ready to go home, stronger and healed.The night conceals their departure as Lucien had prepared a private helicopter to ferry them from the hospital to his penthouse. The team of Lucy's doctors brought him to the rooftop of the hospital with Lucien and Lexie tailing behind.Dom has also sent his parents back to the island but he will be back to fulfill his prior engagements."It's time to go home, sir Lucy. Be well and be healthy" the doctors exclaim in glee as they bid the boy goodbye."Thank you so much for taking good care of me!" his smile is as bright as the sun amid the darkness around. He fervently waves at all his doctors and hospital staff before the door closes."This is magnificent, Papa...! We are rich, mama? We could ride a helicopter" he raves while excitedly looking around the sparkling night lights of the whole city."Everything for my brave
Looking up at him, her eyes were misty from the unshed tears. She just stares at him, unable to ask what he meant by what he said. Her throat is too constricted to talk."We may have started on a wrong foot, but I'm hoping we could work this out. I never expected the outcome of the agreement I offered you, it backfired on me" he whispers while caressing her cheek."I never planned a lifetime with you, Zia, but I was left with a yearning to have you in my arms every single night. I was left with the desire I felt for no one. I was left with the emptiness after you left" he continues."I tried to erase you in my life, out of my mind. But it just made me hollow. Despite Ellen's presence, I can't move on with my life without you. I strived to focus on her, recalling my need to have her, I kept on reminding myself I once dreamed to have a family with her, but I failed all the time. Your memory is stronger than what I made myself believe all this time"
After several rounds of heavenly euphoria inside the bathroom. They finally finished taking their shower.Zia is already limping and almost wobbles on her feet before Lucien had been appeased. He has to carry her outside to get dressed.Inside the closet, he made her sit down on the couch facing the floor-to-ceiling wardrobe cabinets."I will just get your change" he whispers while pecking a kiss on her forehead.Seeing the insides of the cabinet after he opened it, Zia narrowed her eyes. The closet is full of clothes and there's no way her one small luggage has a massive number of clothes inside to make it this full after unpacking."You got to be kidding me..." she mutters, making Lucien turn to her.Looking at her grim face, he was perplexed. She looks angry and he doesn't know why."This insult again? Until now?" she painfully exclaims looking at his confused eyes."Zia, what are you talking about?" he was perplexed by hi
Lexie becomes busy as the launching of the spring collection is nearing. She had brought Dom to the office after her proposal of the hand-painted bag was approved.And as expected, he quite gets along with Jason. But Dom was more of a manly gay and most of the time, serious, unlike Jason who is very vocal and playful. Still, they get along well.Only a week remained and they were all finalizing the production. Lexie though pressured and tensed, is so excited to see her designs come to life. Samples have already been displayed in mannequins and she can't help looking at them most of the time."Private orders for the advance catalog were in!" Eve exclaims as she enters while waving several papers in her hand. Following her is their president."Reveal...reveal..." all the designers excitedly chanted while Lexie just remains to watch in silence. Jason had explained it to her the other day. Private orders are from elite clients who were sent ca
As Silhouettes Designs launches its spring collection, Lexie met her previous colleagues from C&J Advertising who happens to handle the company's promotion.Trina is now the manager after Cathy was promoted as the COO of C&J Advertising. Seeing Trina and Chris has been a boisterous meeting for the three of them."I hate you! You never visited us" Trina confronted despite it being playful. While Chris remains quiet beside them, contentedly watching Lexie."I'm so sorry, it was already in my plan but things got arduous, with all the deadlines I got stuck here" she apologized while holding Trina's hands."You look more stunning, right Chris?" Trina teased knowing Chris's previous crush on her."Lexie is always stunning..." he responded with an admiring smile."How are you, Chris? How are you all?" she excitedly asks."We are fine, the same except the company has become more successful after handling the account of Wright Pharma. And we also go
No matter how hard she convinces herself Lucien is no longer interested in Ellen, her heart still feels heavy. And just like her dragging steps as she came out of the service elevator to transfer to the penthouse elevator, she feels like weighing a ton. All her limbs feel heavy.She just sparsely look around, checking the surroundings as she waited for the elevator to open after she scanned her card. She feels like burying herself in the deepest part of her bed to have the serenity she needed. But she doubts if she ever finds one until Lucien gets home. Him, being with Ellen doesn't suit her gut.Still lost in thoughts, she was unaware of the floor indicated on the screen and when the elevator opens.Snapping from her trance, she was startled by the intense eyes staring at her. The pair of piercing eyes, Lucien Wright owns. Surprised to see him, she just stares at him without noticing she remains unmoving from her spot."Come in, Zia. Lucy is already waitin
