To Love And To Lust 30
"I need a favor from you Jason." Landon said as he took a seat opposite his friend in his office.The skin between Mr Smith's brows creased. Landon rarely asks for favors and when he does, it's always the things you do no expect he asks of.Mr Smith cleared his throat, "What is it?""I want you to give Victoria some hours off so I can take her out." He tells him.Mr Smith was taken aback by his friend's request. He took his hands from his pants pocket feeling they were becoming sweaty."Hmmm...what can I say? I'm speechless." Landon smiled. "Well it's simple. Just give her some hours off and that's all." He tells him.Mr Smith didn't like the kind of feeling he got hearing his friend request for some hours to take Victoria out. He gulped, "Okay. I will give it to her but do not be out too long." He tells his friend.It wasn't that he couldn't say no but he didn't have any good reason not to let Victoria off after all she didn't have much to do and even if she did, she would still hav

Mr Smith paced around his office as he looked at his wrist watch every once in a while to know the time. He has been restless since Victoria left with Landon. He couldn't concentrate on his work as the memory of Victor laughing at Landon filled his head.He was a man of patience but today he just wasn't having enough patience. He looked out through his glass and then saw a familiar jaguar drive in. He felt a little bit of relief knowing it was Landon's. Landon came out of the car, went to the other side and opened it for Victoria.Mr Smith placed both his hands in his pants pocket as he watched them from his office. He watched as they conversed and how he escorted her back to the building.He walked back to his table, dialed a number on his landline. "Tell Victoria to come to my office now." He demanded then put down the landline.Victoria had not settled on her chair when she got told that Mr Smith wanted her in his office. She wondered in her mind what it is he wanted to see her for

Victoria gasped as she stared at the beautiful mansion in front of her and the humongous gate. She never expected anything less from Mr Smith which was why she almost knocked myself on the head for being shocked by what she just saw.She would never have come to Mr Smith mansion if Clara had not asked her to. She would never imagine Mr Smith's house. As she stood in front of the mansion with her eyes blinking, she suddenly remembered what had brought her and on whose request it was."Are you okay Clara?" Victoria asked with concern as she followed Clara into the restroom.Clara groaned. "I'm...fine. Just...running stomach." She tells her.Victoria heaved a sigh of relief hearing that. "Thank goodness! I got worried." She confessed."What is it that you want Victoria?" Clara asked."I came to drop some files with you and then i saw you running away." She tells her."Oh. Thanks Victoria. Just...just drop them on my desk. I will go through them later." She tells Victoria."Okay." Victori

Just as Victoria reached the bus stop, she checked her bag in search of her apartment key but couldn't find it and then it clicked to her that she had brought it out as she used her key earlier to drill hole in a small wood. She sighed. Mr Smith didn't look like someone in a good mood and she couldn't tell why. He didn't come to the office too and she began to wonder. She began to walk back to the cabin, hoping and praying within her that he was in a better mood before she got to his place.When she reached his front door, she contemplated. She wasn't sure if she should knock or sneak her way in and get the key and leave without being noticed. She knocked on the door after deciding it was for the best. She got no reply and she knocked again and again but got no reply. Just as she decided to do the latter, the door opened. Mr Smith looked pale and dizzy, she could tell from his physical appearance. The skin between her brows creased as she scrutinized him. "Are you okay Mr Smith?" S

If anything that attracted Mr Smith to Victoria, it would be how unpredictable she was. This would make it the second time he reminded him he was not her boss outside of work. A chuckle escaped his lips."I am not your boss? You never cease to amaze me Ms Perkins." He shook his head amusingly."Yes Mr Smith." She grinned at him. "So you will do as I say, am I understood?" She raised her brows in question making Mr Smith burst into a fit of laughter.She was surprised to see him laugh this hard. She has never seen him laugh talkless of smiling and it made her laugh too. Mr Smith had always felt there was something different about her and now she had just proved it to him. "You say I am not your boss yet you address me as Mr Smith? What are you trying to prove Ms Perkins?" He asked, a lopsided grin formed on his face.She placed her hands on her jaw as she acted as if she was thinking. "Hmmm...aren't we on a formal basis? I mean you call me Ms Perkins and not Victoria so why not do the

Victoria smirked at the question. She was going to be brutally honest with him as she was better at speaking the truth than lying."Now I'm worried, your face tells me there are a lot of things you want to say." He said, rubbing his palms together."Of course." She replied, the smirk not leaving her face.He sighed. He liked her company and he liked her presence. "Go on." He encouraged, not wanting to spoil the mood as it has been long he felt so relaxed.She cleared her throat. "Let's start with this. Mr Smith mood swings a lot. One minute he is nice and the next minute he is not. Sometimes he motivates you and other times he makes you feel incapable. Mr Smith could be an idol and the next minute he is not. He doesn't keep the picture everyone sees of him always." She laments.Mr Smith smiled. He smiled genuinely. She had just spoken to him honestly without fear of anything which he liked. He loved honest people and we're easily attracted to them. "Well for the perfect picture, I wil

Victoria's face palmed herself as she suddenly remembered her statement earlier. "Well..." She cleared her throat thinking of something to say."Go on, I'm listening." He teased her."You are my boss but that's only when we are at work. As long as we are not at work, you are just you," she pointed at him. "And I am just me, Victoria." She clarified and he chuckled lightly."So I am just me when I am not at work right, that's good then." He smirked, making her confused. "Of course it is," she spoke hoarsely."I do not work for you and you are not my boss of me. Simple as it should be." She said to him."Okay, no problem." He nodded his head in understanding.They both sat again in silence until Mr Smith remembered their conversation last week concerning the reason he chose her when he could have chosen anyone in the company.He cleared his throat firstly before he spoke. "You once asked me why I chose you when I could choose others right?" Victoria, who was resting on the couch, adju

"Hmmm." Victory moaned as she wrapped her arms around what she thought to her teddy bear. She felt so comfortable as she rested her head on the chest of what she thought to be her teddy bear and she wrapped her legs tightly against what she thought to be a teddy bear.She could sleep on it for so long and never get tired. Mr Smith watched as Victoria wrapped her arms around him. He seized his breath as she squeezed him tightly and then she mumbled, "Floppy, you are so soft." He almost cringed at that word but managed to scale through. He didn't make an attempt to move so she wouldn't wake up. He could tell she was enjoying her sleep and ruining it for her was the last on his list.Yesterday they had both fallen asleep on the couch and when he woke up, he saw her resting on him. "Floppy, I could hold you all day." She mumbled in her sleep as she tightly wrapped herself around him so she wouldn't be by his side but on top of him. Floppy was a big teddy bear she got as a gift from her mo
