The Sweetest Temptation 105| Mr. Anderson.
Later that evening, she was done with the scheduling and she was ready to go home. It was past the closing hour and her boss, Mr. Anderson, was not back yet.She was about to call him when her office phone rang. "Hello," she said, holding the receiver to her ear.“You can go home and continue tomorrow. Sorry that I didn’t inform you earlier. Right now, I am in Spain and would be back tomorrow.” He said from the other end of the phone. “Oh.” She gasped, shocked that he wasn't even in the country. “I have already finished sorting and profiling the guests for the occasion.”“Okay, then you can take it to my house and drop it off. I will tell my driver to take you and then drop you off at your house. He will be waiting for you in front of the office building. When you get to my house, ask for directions, and drop it off in my study. Close the office afterwards.” He said, and the line was cold again; he was gone.Phew! She sighed.She packed the files and made her way to the elevator, pr
The Sweetest Temptation 106| Alex.
Alex went to the window and watched her walk with grace; he knew there was something special about her, and he would not take no for an answer. But for today, he had no choice but to let her go; he knew there was going to be plenty of opportunity for him to court her.Meanwhile, she was in the car, and the driver was on the road again. Soon, the car stopped, and she got off and went into her apartment.She did not say a word to the driver, who had also not said much all through the trip.She was tired and needed rest; she liked that Mr. Anderson had been thoughtful enough to let his driver drop her home.All she thought about was a quick, relaxing bath, and then she would sit in front of the television and eat dinner.As she opened the door, she smiled immediately to see Lucy there to welcome her. Lucy looked out the window and asked, "Who is that?"I went to drop off some files at Mr. Anderson's home.“Who is Mr. Anderson?”“My boss.” She replied.Lucy slammed her palm on her forehea
The Sweetest Temptation 107| Sparkling beauty.
Reese received a call from Alex, and he asked them to meet up for a drink at a bar, and she didn’t reject his offer. She decided to go with Lucy’s advice. At first, she wondered where he got her contact from, but then again, he is her boss’s son, so she needn’t wonder where he got it from. They decided to meet up at a particular bar. When Reese got to the bar, Alex was already seated on one of the stools by the bar counter. "Hey, beautiful," he said when she got to where he was sitting. "I am glad you made it.""How are you?" She asked as she sat on the stool beside him."I am fine." He said it with a smile curling on his lips. "How are you?""I am fine also." She said. "Let the party begin." He said. "What do you want?""Sparkling water," she said. After embarrassing herself at the bar the last time, she swore never to drink again."Why not something that would intoxicate you?" He asked, raising a brow. "Nothing." She shook her head. "I just don’t want to drink.""Okay," he s

When Reese got home, Lucy was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She thought Lucy was sleeping, so she carefully walked inside the room so as not to wake her up. "Why are you back already?" She heard Lucy say, and she flicked her eyes to where she was lying on the bed to look at her. "I thought you were sleeping." Reese said. She was surprised that she was awake."No, I was not." Lucy said as she quickly sat up on the bed. "How was your date?"She sighed. "It wasn’t a date.""Whatever it was, how was it?" Lucy asked. Reese suddenly started crying, and Lucy jumped out of bed, worry saturating her features. "What’s wrong?" She asked Reese as she inched closer to her and hugged her, "What did he do to you?""Nothing," she cried. "It’s just that I miss Axel so much."Lucy sighed. "It’s okay. You would get over him someday. Sorry.""I am tired," she cried. "I am very tired."She doesn’t know why she couldn’t just stop thinking about him. He was always on her mind. No matter how muc
The Sweetest Temptation 109| Apex.
Reese was standing at a close distance, looking as beautiful as ever in a sky blue evening dress that suited her color. Before he could even stop himself, he trudged to where she was standing and stood just in front of her. She gasped. "What are you doing here?""“I should be asking you that question." He said. “This event was organized by Perfect Touch.”Her eyes grew wider; she didn’t know that she was at his event. It was her new boss who took her there. "How dare you call me over the phone at the bar only for you to disappear again?" Axel said. "I called you?” She asked, confused. "Yes.” He said, "When you were drunk at the bar." He told her, and she widened her eyes in surprise. She had no memory of that at all. "What did I say?" She asked, raising her brow. "You only said I made you look pathetic." She pressed her lips together. "I’m sorry. It ain’t happening again." She blew out a sharp breath. "If you would please excuse me, I have to go and see my boss." She said as sh
The Sweetest Temptation 110| Irresistible charm.
Reese couldn’t believe that she just finished having sex with Axel—with no protection. Someone she was trying so hard to forget."Why did you drink so much that day?" Axel asked her as he pulled his trousers back up. "Do you have any idea what would have happened to you that day if not for the bartender who helped you?"She narrowed her eyes in confusion. "What do you mean?"“You were almost kidnapped by some asses." He told her. "I have no memory of what happened that night." She gasped. "How did you know?""You told me where you were when you called me, so I went there in search of you." Axel told her and then went on to tell her everything that happened. Her mouth fell agape. "Why would the police fucking let them go?" She asked, perplexed. "Same question I asked." He took his hand to her cheek and caressed it. "Are we good?" "Me and you? No!" she exclaimed as she pushed him off and jumped down. “Please don’t leave me.” He pleaded. “I like it this way. You are the only one I
The Sweetest Temptation 111| New Boss.
Reese wished she could stay in Axel’s bed forever and explore each other’s bodies, but she had to go to work early the next day, and it was getting late. She had to go back home and rest. "Where are you going?" Axel asked as he watched her jump out of bed and started putting on her clothes. "Home," she replied. He raised a brow. "Why? Come on, stay with me.""I wish I could." She said as she brushed her tangled hair with her fingers. "But I have to go to work early tomorrow.""I thought we agreed on your coming back to work for me.""You suggested, Axel." She slipped her feet into her black heels. "But I didn’t agree.""You know I could buy the company you work for and make you my employee." He teased, a small smile touching his lips."You wouldn’t do that." She muttered under her breath as she grabbed her clutch and tucked it under her arm."Well, if you don’t come back to work for me, I might as well do that."Her brows drew together. "Are you threatening me?"He shrugged. "Mayb
The Sweetest Temptation 112| Seventeen.
Alex promised not to be hard on Reese, but all he’s been doing to her since she resumed work is the opposite. He has been bombarding her with work, calling her to his office every little chance he gets, and staring at her lustfully like a male dog waiting to mate with his partner—a very disgusting look. Right now, she was in his office, which was about the tenth trip she had made to his office. "You called me, what do you need?" Reese asked when he kept staring at her without saying anything. "Uhm..." he cleared his throat. "My dry cleaner just called and asked me to come for my laundry. I’d like you to help me get them."A deep frown flashed across her face. "Excuse me?""What?" He asked, raising a brow. "Listen carefully, Alex—""Mr. Anderson." He corrected. "I am your boss, so regard me with respect."Ignoring what he said, she continued. "You have been overworking me since I resumed work this morning. But I’ll tell you this: I am not an errand girl!"Planting his elbows on
