To Love And To Lust 33
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

There was literally just one person who entered Me Smith office without knocking or announcing his presence and that was Mr Lucky.Mr Smith looked away from his computer to see Me Lucky with a not so friendly early morning face. "Gold morning." Mr Smith greeted."Well good morning to you Mathew." Mr Lucky said before taking a seat opposite Mr Smith."Where were you yesterday? You were so out of reach that even your secretary didn't know how to get to you." Mr Lucky complained."That's because I do not want to be reached." Mr Smith said firmly.Mr Lucky sighed. "Okay fine. There is an event this weekend and all top Investors all over the world will be there and I want you to be there." Mr Smith suddenly stopped typing on his keyboard when he heard Me lucky."You and I know I am not a fan of those events. I do not like public gatherings." He continued to type back on his keyboard."I know Mathew but do you realize you need to start attending some of these events? You are needed for occa

"I got a date!" Landon announced to Mr Smith once he was in his office. Mr Smith looked up from his computer to see his friend."That's good." He said shortly before looking back at his computer, not caring to know who the date was."I know it is." Landon said amusingly as he took a seat opposite his friend. "You do not seem bothered. Are you going to be present for the event?" Landon asked and Mr Smith let out a small sigh.His index finger lay on the control button of the mouse but didn't move. "You know I am not a fan of public gatherings, Landon." Mr Smith reminded Landon who rolled his eyes in return."I know Jason but shouldn't you try to get out of your comfort zone considering that you are a Businessman? I thought you were past that stage already. After all, being the owner of one of the top companies in the world, you have to meet people.""And why is that a must? I'm fine in my own space. I go there, greet and meet people and before you know it, my face is everywhere and I c

Mr Smith stared at his friend with an investigating look. He could tell Landon was up to something and he wondered what it was and why Landon was hell bent on telling him who she was."Won't you ask?" Landon asked, the smirk not leaving his face. Mr Smith sighed. He couldn't think of anything and knowing Landon, he was never predictable. "Go on, tell me already." He said weakly. He had given up on thinking.Landon rubbed his palm together with the smirk still on his face. "Guess who is about to blow your mind?" He said, speaking to Mr Smith's curiosity."Just spit it out already, Landon. Not everyone is as free as you are." Mr Smith tells, taking his attention back to his computer"What do you mean? I am also a busy man." Landon defended making Landon scoff in return."Of course you are. Landon is always busy with everything." Mr Smith snickered."So are you going to tell me who she is or are you going to walk away so I can concentrate on my work sine I do not have a whole day for a
