Reese was thinking about what Axel said at the parking lot all day and when it was finally time for her to leave work. She rushed to his office. She knocked on his door and immediately pushed it open, without waiting for his permission to enter."Ready to go home?" He asked as she approached him. Before she could reply, a knock sounded on the door, and the door was pushed open almost immediately. A tall young man who was wearing a white button-up shirt and black pants with his suits hanging over his shoulders slipped through the door, and Reese wondered who he was."Hey, Axel, is this Reese?" The man asked, and confusion spread across her face. Who is he? And how does he know her? She thought. "I’m Reese," she said, raising her eyebrows. "And you are?""I am Luke." The man stretched his hand forward to shake Reese's hand. "Nice to finally meet you. I have heard a lot about you."She took his hand, wondering if the "a lot" he has heard about her includes the sexcapades between her
When Reese and Axel were finally alone in his office, she inched closer to his desk and sat on the visitors' chair. "Why did you agree to take me with you to the club?" She asked and shook her head. "I don’t want to go."He raised a brow. "What do you want to do?" "I don’t know." She shrugged. "Anything else except going to the club.""Let’s just stick to our initial plan then." He rubbed his palms together, his gaze fixed on her. "Go and wait for me naked.""But you promised your friend that you were going to be there." She said. "Isn’t he going to get mad if you don’t show up?""I would just tell him that we lost track of time while having sex. He already knows that we are sex partners.” He leaned back in his seat and crossed his arms over his chest. "I would make him believe that it was so good, hence why we lost track of time.""You told him that we were sex partners?" Reese asked, raising her brow. "Yes." He nodded his head. "Isn’t that what we are? Just sex partners."Reese w
It wasn’t until 10:00 p.m. before Axel returned home, and she was still fully clothed when he arrived. Based on the mood he was in before she left his office, she wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to strip her naked while waiting for him to return, as he had instructed when they got to work in the morning.She was on the bed, watching a movie with her phone out of boredom, when he slipped inside the room."Welcome." She muttered as he ventured inside the room, and he nodded his head in response.He was still giving her attitude, she noticed. She was so glad that she wasn’t waiting for him naked; if not, she would have felt mortified if he had given her the attitude while she was naked. She knew she shouldn’t have said what she said earlier, but he was overreacting, and it was getting really annoying. "Mr. Griffin." She called, and he briefly glanced at her to show that he was listening to whatever she had to say. He wasn’t concerned about her calling him by his last name, and she
As Reese slowly opened her eyes the following morning, the first thing her eyes caught was Axel’s gaze, and her heart slipped a beat.He was laying down beside her, staring intently at her, and he quickly flicked his gaze away when she opened her eyes."Good morning, Mr. Griffin." She greeted, her voice in a murmur."Good morning." He said under his breath.He carried on with the attitude he was giving her from yesterday to today, and she was not having it anymore. She couldn’t continue to stay in his house if he was going to continue with the shitty attitude he was showing her. She needed to protect her mental health because it seemed she was losing it already.Pressing her lips together in a thin line, she said. "Can we talk?"He quickly jumped out of bed. "Not now. I am going to the study now." He said, but Reese wasn’t going to allow him to get away this time around."You have been ignoring me since yesterday, and I am not comfortable with it." She told him as she sat up on the b
Reese had no other choice but to go back to Lucy’s house because she had no other place to go. The worst that could happen is for her mom to catch her there. It's not like she was going to go to jail. When she entered the living room feeling down in the dumps, she saw Harry and Lucy cuddling up naked on the couch. "Damn, sorry." She muttered and quickly looked away, glad that Lucy’s body was covering Harry’s and she didn’t get to see Harry’s manhood. "Reese!" Lucy exclaimed as she tried to stand up, but Harry quickly grabbed her and pulled her even closer."Stay still and help me cover up." He told her, and a smile curled on her lips. "I would head inside now." Reese said as she made her way to the bedroom."I would be with you shortly." She heard Lucy yell just as she slipped inside the bedroom. Down in the dump, she dumped her bag in the middle of the room, then strode to the bed and tumbled on it. She left Axel’s house because she wanted to be away from him so that she could
The weekend flew by in a blur and Reese was feeling much better, thanks to Lucy who cheered her up all through the weekend. It was Monday again and Reese had resumed work. She was in Axel’s office with Tom and they had just concluded their routine Monday morning meeting. “You have a meeting with the research team in less than one hour.” Tom reminded Axel as he leapt to his feet.Axel nodded his head. “I know.”“See you later then.” Tom said, nodding his head, as he turned on his heel and started trudging to the door.Reese also leapt to her feet and started trailing behind Tom, but she stopped in her track when Axel called her name. “Ms. McBride.”She turned to look at him. “Yes? Mr. Griffin.”“Can I see you for a second?” He asked. She pressed her lips together knowing that being in a closed room with Axel at that moment wasn’t a good idea—they would either fight or get in each other’s pants and she didn’t want neither to happen. The door was pulled open and it was shut close alm
“What?!” Reese exclaimed, her lashes fluttering in perplexity. The last thing she wanted was to become a topic of discussion between the employees in the company. Chloe turned to look at her. “What? You didn’t expect your little secret to be let out of the bag? You little slut.”Reese drew in a sharp breath, refusing to get provoked by Axel’s ex. Chloe waited for her response for a few seconds and when she didn’t get any, she returned her gaze to Axel. “Why are you fucking a slut Axel?”Axel raised lifted his index finger to point at her, the rage burning beneath his eyes palpable. “This should be the last time you call her a slut.” He warned. “Axel, open your eyes. She doesn’t love you.” She placed her hand on his shoulder and he yanked it off. She sighed and continued. “She’s just after your money.”“No she’s not.” He pressed his lips together. “Can you leave now? I have work to do.”“Look at her. Look at what she’s wearing.” Chloe flicked her gaze at Reese before returning it to
After Reese left Axel’s office she suddenly became pressed and needed to use the restroom, so she made her way to the restroom. When she got to the ladies room, there were two ladies inside. She could hear their voices when she opened the door, but as she slipped inside, they suddenly went silent and she could swear that they were gossiping about her. She glanced at them briefly before sauntering to one of the stalls and entering it. When she finished responding to the call of nature, she stepped out of the stall and strolled to the mirror to look at her self.The ladies that were inside the bathroom when she entered had left and another lady was also standing in front of the mirror.“Hey.” The lady said, as she swung her head to the side to look at Reese. “Hey.” Reese muttered, as she turned on her heels and started walking away. “How does fucking your boss feel like?” The lady sneered. Reese stopped in her tracks, then turned to look her. “I am not fucking the boss.” She denie
