Axel made sure Chloe left the company building after they left the cafeteria. Everything she did irritated him, and he couldn’t stand her anymore.He was back at his office, working on some documents, when he heard a knock on the door. The door was pushed open almost immediately, and Reese slipped inside. "What was that?" Reese asked, as she banged the door shut and started walking towards him. He raised a brow. "What was what?""I thought we agreed to refrain from having other sexual partners?" She asked, a scowl masked on her face. "What was that that you were doing with Chloe? Are you having sex with her?""Good question, Reese." He eased back on his seat and crossed his arms over his chest. "But do I have to answer your question?""Yes!" She exclaimed. "No." He shook his head. "I don’t have to."Leaping to his feet, he walked around his desk and inched closer to her. "I don’t have to, Reese." He repeated, and as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.His ha
The Sweetest Temptation 88| Sexy assistant.
As planned, Reese wore the most daring outfit to work the following day. She and Lucy took their time picking out the outfit.She wore a rich green high-waisted leather mini skirt with a half-buttoned white top tucked inside the skirt and pointed-toe high-heeled pumps. She also had red-hot lips on, making her look like the perfect definition of a sexy assistant. The moment she stepped inside the company’s building, a good amount of the male employees couldn’t take their eyes off her, including a few females, and she liked that because that shows that her effort to look sexy was successful.Right now, she was in her office, organizing Axel’s schedule, while trying to imagine how he would react when he sees her. She couldn’t wait to carry out her plan.A knock suddenly sounded on the door, jerking her out of her reverie. "Who is it?" She quickly asked. "Tom.""Oh, come in, please." she said, and the door was pushed open. "Good morning, Reese." Tom said as he ventured inside the offi

"You arouse me." Axel repeated when he got to where she was sitting. His gaze was fixed on her, staring at her lustfully. "Oops. My bad," she gasped. "I didn’t think my choice of outfit was going to arouse anyone. But now that I know that I might cause confusion in this building—" she slowly leapt to her feet seductively. "I would go and change my outfit.""Reese." He groaned as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "You look fucking sexy. Why are you doing this to me?"His hand on her body ignited heat in her body, but she had to keep up with the plan until the end—she must not allow him to touch her.Sucking in a breath, she muttered. "Mr. Griffin, let me go, please. I have to go and continue my work.""I hired you." He leaned in and grazed his lips on her neck. "So I can decide whether to tell you to leave your work or not.""I am really uncomfortable." She muttered. "Let go, please." He sniffed her, the sweet scent of her strawberry deodorant intoxicating hi

"I guess someone is in trouble." The guy said the moment they were alone. Reese sighed. "Today might actually be the day I smack his ass."He raised a brow. "Do you have another source of income?""Unfortunately no." She pressed her lips together. "So apparently, I am not smacking his ass today.""Don’t worry." A small smile touched his lips. "You would be okay."Nodding her head, she leapt to her feet and stretched her hand forward for a handshake. "Thanks for having lunch with me.""It’s my pleasure." He muttered. "I hope to do this with you again someday."Reese flashed her teeth at him as they withdrew from the handshake, knowing full well that they weren’t going to have lunch together again. She only used him to make Axel jealous, and she doesn’t intend to see him again. "I have to get going now before he crumbles down this building." She quickly said, as she started walking away from him. He leapt to his feet and followed her until he caught up to her. "Uhm..." he scratched

Reese couldn’t wait to get off work and go and tell Lucy about everything that happened. She was sure that she was going to be so excited that their plan worked, and she couldn’t wait to tell her all about it.Lucy was at home when Reese got home, and as usual, she was in the living room watching a movie."Bitch!" Lucy beamed the moment Reese walked into the living room. "I can see the smile on your face. It worked out right?""I even did more than we planned." Reese told her as she trudged to where Lucy was sitting and sat beside her."Tell me all about it!" Lucy exclaimed, excited.Reese cleared her throat then went on to tell Lucy all about what happened that day at work without leaving any single detail out."You are invited to the ball." Lucy said when Reese finally finished narrating everything. "So, we don’t have to rack our brains thinking of how we could use Zayn to make Axel jealous.""I thought of that also." Reese said, a smile spreading across her lips. "All I have to do
The Sweetest Temptation 92| Adore her.
Chloe had literally taken Axel to all the clothing stores in London in search of the dress she would wear to the ball, and she still hadn’t seen a dress she wanted. Chloe was adamant that Axel get her a new dress for the ball as she didn’t know what to wear. He refused to go with her, but after much persuasion from her, he agreed to go with her. He knew going to the ball with her after what she pulled off was a stupid decision, but he had no one else to go with and he had to attend the event no matter what.He hadn’t even told her that he knew about what she pulled off yet; he might lose his shit while confronting her and end up chasing her away. And he had to avoid that situation until after the event, when he would ask her to never show his face to him again. But before then, he would try as much as possible to keep his cool.Right now, they are inside a boutique, which is the sixth they have been to in just one night, and Axel was beyond frustrated already. He made up his mind th
The Sweetest Temptation 93| You made it.
The look radiating from Axel’s eyes was almost as dark as the black suit he had on. Damn it! He hated her for taking another man to the ball. A man who might probably take her away from him—which he would try with everything in him to prevent from happening. He knew he didn’t have the right to be jealous because he was also there with another woman. But he couldn’t help it. He hated to see her with other men. "Mr. Griffin, do you still plan on getting married to her after she slapped you?" The voice of a reporter jerked him back to reality, and he averted his gaze from Reese."Stop making speculations." Axel said and went ahead to clear the air. "I am not getting married. The picture of me standing next to a woman in a wedding dress is just a coincidence. I’m not getting married to her. I only went to that boutique to support someone important to me.""But why did she slap you?" A reporter asked. "I can’t disclose." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "But I can assure you that it’s

Reese’s smile is something that always soothed Axel’s heart, but right now, the smile saturating her face seeded a looming rage deep inside his chest. "Ms. MsBride." He called when he got to where they were standing. Reese turned to look at him, the smile on her face slowly fading. "Good evening, Mr. Griffin." She greeted. "Good evening." He said, then darted his gaze at Zayn and stretched his hand forward for a handshake. "Good evening."Zayn stared at his extended hand warily for a few seconds before he reluctantly took it. "Good evening.""Can you excuse us, please?" "I need to see my assistant." Axel said so in the most polite way possible, despite the anger and jealousy clawing at his chest."No, I can’t." Zayn said this without a change in his countenance. "You can see her during work hours." But right now, we are busy."Axel darted his gaze at Reese. "Ms. McBride, please, can we talk?"Before she could reply, Chloe appeared from nowhere and hooked her arm around Axel’s arm.
