Mirabel inhaled and exhaled deeply as soon as she stepped out of the car. She had a smile on her face just thinking of the activity that would take place today.She had made her brother sit in the back with Elizabeth to give them time to speak to one another. Whenever they spoke and Elizabeth blushed she would smile. She kept peeking glances at them through the mirror and when she noticed she was about to be caught, she'd look away. Mr Smith carried their bags in his hands as they began to walk. Mirabel moved from where she stood beside her brother so Elizabeth could stand beside him."It's been a long time since I went hiking. Kinda nervous." Elizabeth admitted.She had only gone hiking with Victoria and it felt different without her friend here. "Don't worry Elizabeth. You will be fine." Mirabel tells her with my smile on her face. "Even if you won't be, my brother is here for you...I mean us." She added.Elizabeth noticed every little action taken by Mirabel and she understood it

The moment Mr Smith returned back to the office, the first person he asked for was Victoria but he got the news that she asked for a two days leave."What do you mean she asked for a two days leave? Who gave her the permission and when was that?" He asked Clara with a blank facial expression and his both hands in his pants pocket.Clara was frightened by the tone he used. "Mr Lucky." She replied almost quietly."Mr Lucky. When did she meet him?" He asked. He was infuriated because he had come to see her after so many days only to hear she took a two days leave. All his days at Northern Virginia, he was constantly reminded of Victoria one way or the other. Either he saw someone who acted just like she did or something that made him remember how she spoke or what she would have done if she was by his side."Yesterday he was around and she asked for a two days leave due to an emergency and he let her go." Clara explained to him.Mr Smith clenched his fist. He took in a deep breath and ex

"Ms Perkins?" Mr Smith called wanting to be sure she was the one he was seeing. Victoria halted on her track to see if the voice which she had guessed to be Mr Smith was indeed his. Once she confirmed, a smile formed on her face, she knew it was his but didn't know why she contemplated."You are still here? What happened?" Mr Smith asked, his both hands in his pants pocket."Oh. I forgot my slippers. I thought I would come to work with my slippers today but it turns out I didn't and..." She trailed off showing him her broken heels.His eyes widened a bit in realization. "Oh." He muttered."That's why I came. I am on my way home though." she tells him."I will drop you. After all I cannot let you walk barefooted." He blurted out before thinking."Oh." Victoria muttered. "It's actually no problem. I can manage. I will just call an Uber and they will drop me off. Don't want to disturb you." She tells him.Mr Smith sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. "You always reject my offer

"Why are we here?" Victoria asked Mr Smith as soon as he parked in front of his cabin."We are here because you refuse to tell me your house address and besides this is the closest place. It's not always safe to drive inside the rain." He defended. "Oh." She muttered, her mouth forming the 'O' shape.It stated the rain the moment Mr Smith began to drive. They both got out of the car and ran to the front of the door which was very close from where he parked his car.Mr Smith opened his cabin and led her inside. She sighed in relief once she entered the warm cabin. She wasn't beaten by the rain but she felt cold. Mr Smith led her to where the house warmer was and her eyes widened in realization and she recalled what happened the last time she was here. She froze on the spot , refusing to take a step further.She flushed in embarrassment thinking of it. She had managed to get over it until today and it was because she had to be in that same place the awkward moment occurred.Mr Smith no

Victoria's eyes widened in shock once Mr Smith placed his lips on her. Everything in her head and mind went blank. Her boss was kissing her and she didn't know what to do.Her heart raced faster than normal, and her body froze from the shock. She was still trying to comprehend everything that was happening to her. Mr Smith grabbed the bottle of jack Daniels in her hands, not wanting her to let go of it in her state of shock, he took it and placed it on the island beside her. He kissed her, more like a perk at first and suddenly craved for more.He gave her an open mouth kiss and he kissed her again and again. Her eyes were still open and her head was trying to send a signal to her body. Mr Smith moved his hands so they were on her arms pulling her closer to him. He kissed her again and again until she finally got a grip of herself and closed her eyes slowly. She began to kiss back slowly. The kiss started out innocently until Mr Smith decided to involved tongue.The moment his tongu

Victoria tossed and turned on her bed for the umpteenth time now. Whenever she closed her eyes, she couldn't help but see Mr Smith's face and not just his face but their kiss. She would immediately open her eyes and cringe.Her heartbeat raced faster than normal whenever the kiss resurfaced in her memory. She loved it, she wished it didn't stop and she scolded herself for not wanting it to stop."Why do I feel this way?" She asked herself as she stared at the ceiling. The feelings she got while kissing Mr Smith were indescribable. She felt every inch of her body ignite in flames as he pulled her closer. He tasted so sweet that she wished she had not stopped. "What do you feel for your boss Victoria? Do you think this is right?" She said to herself refusing to admit to herself that she felt a deep connection with Mr Smith."Okay, it's fine. You find him attractive which is okay. I mean many girls do find him attractive. He is a sight to behold. He is hot, sexy and we'll vry capable. I'

Victoria sighed deeply. She didn't think it was a good idea for her friend to confess to him yet. They might have known each other for over three months but she wasn't open to the idea of her friend confessing first."How much do you know about him?" Victoria asked her. She still regarded Mathew as the mysterious guy as Elizabeth wasn't one to keep quiet about someone else's identity."Well I know he is an orphan. He has a sister and works in a big company. He owns a mansion and has a lot of cars. He is a very good brother and a very good listener." She tells her friend."That's not bad for a start. What's his favorite food?" She asked.Elizabeth brows creased in confusion as she wondered the reason for her friend's sudden interrogation. "Is something wrong? Are we going to start with this identity check of a thing again?" Elizabeth asked. Victoria never let a day go by without asking about Mathews' background whenever she brought him up.She understood her friend's insecurities but i

"You are really stupid to think a man like Mr Smith is single. He doesn't look single, he doesn't act single and besides we finally got the proof we wanted and I remember telling you I saw him with a very beautiful woman in a restaurant and they were speaking in a not so friendly manner." Rebecca said as she folded her arms across her chest.Victoria remembered Mr Smith telling her he had no girlfriend and the girl he was seen with was his friend. She suddenly does not know if she should believe him or not. Rebecca's words were convincing and that made her heart ache as she remembered the kiss she shared with him.She felt her chest tighten as she clenched her fist thinking if he really had a girlfriend. Rebecca noticed some changes in Victoria's face that got her concerned."Is something wrong Victoria? Your face suddenly changed." Rebecca said staying the obvious. Immediately, Victoria forced a smile on her face as she shook her head. "Nothing. I just remembered something." She lie

Her boss was kissing her for the second time and for a reason she didn't know of.Immediately, she got a hold of herself, she pushed him away from her not in a forceful way and she wiped her lips with the back of her palm. She glared at him."Tonight at eight, meet me at the hotel. Be there on time." He tells her before leaving his own office for her. Victoria staggered back a bit. It was after he left everything dawn on her."Did he just ask me to meet him in a hotel?" She felt insulted by that statement. "Does he think I am a hoe desperate? Oh my goodness? He wants to sleep with me because he thinks I would be comfortable with it?" She felt so insulted as she thought of the obvious reasons he had asked her to see him in a hotel.He was her boss yet she felt insulted.

"The launch date is set and everything is in order. Mr Marcos from Hightech will be available on that day." Rebecca informed Mr Smith."Okay." Mr Smith said. All the while Rebecca spoke, he looked at Victoria who looked at the folder in her hands in an attempt to avoid meeting Mr Smith's eyes. After his conversation with Elizabeth, he thought of many things he could do to make it up to Victoria. He had taken what Elizabeth suggested into consideration and now he had searched on the internet the best place to take a woman to."That's all for today." Rebecca informed him."Okay. You may leave." He tells them. They both turned to leave when Mr Smith stopped them."Not you Rebecca, you can leave. Victoria, wait behind." He told her.

Victoria kicked her shoes off once she was back into her apartment. Tears filled her eyes all through her journey back. It hurts in her chest so much that she wondered why her stomach ached too.His words weren't supposed to have much effect on her yet it did. She had walked away from him and acted like what happened between them never happened.She walked into her room, praying Elizabeth wasn't awake yet as she didn't want to start explaining the situation to her. That night she had not been able to sleep as she tossed and turned on her bed."Oh my goodness!" Elizabeth exclaimed as she stared at her best friend looking like a mess in the morning. "Did you sleep at all? What happened to you? Your eyes are swollen." Elizabeth spoke as she walked towards her friend with concern on her face.She placed her hands on Victoria's eyes to see if she was sick or showed any sign of fever. She touched her forehead to feel her temperature."You seem fine Toria. What happened? You had a nightmare

"Yes." Mr Smith answered without hesitation."Hmm. I see. Do I know her? Who is she?" Landon asked. Mr Smith at that time decided to dig into his food. He wasn't going to talk about who had his feelings all messed up."Let's dig in. The food is almost cold." Mr Smith said dismissively, making Landon roll his eyes at him. "So are you down for my earlier suggestion?" Landon asked."What did you say again?" Mr Smith questioned as he couldn't remember what Landon had suggested they do."Let's go out. To a bar, club, anywhere. Just to get rid of the tension earlier today. The truth is, it's been a long time since I had any woman feel my..." He cleared his throat hoping his signs alone were enough to give the hint he wanted to show his friend.Mr Smith shook his head. "You are always horny. I thought you liked Victoria? Suddenly you want to jump on another?" Mr Smith brows raised in a questioning manner. When he doubted Landon's affection for Victoria, he knew he wasn't wrong and now Lando

He decided to piss Landon off instead.His facial expression changed as he leaned closer to Landon making Landon wary. He grabbed Landon's hands on the table, making Landon's eyes widened."What...what are you doing?" Landon stuttered as he suddenly felt his mouth go dry.Mr Smith swallowed the lump in his throat. He was struggling not to laugh because Landon's facial expression was killing him. "How is it that you are just realising?" He had managed to say without laughing. He wanted to pee on himself just by looking at Landon.Landon removed his hands from Mr Smith's hold and kept it to himself. "Oh my goodness!" He gasped for air."You..." Landon pointed his index finger at himself and then at Mr Smith."You like me?" He asked, wanting to be sure he was hearing his friend well.Mr Smith n

Mr Smith shook his head. "She didn't have any phone call that I am aware of and besides we were fine so I do not understand anything." Mr Smith explained to his friend who didn't seem to believe him.Landon rubbed his eyes with his index and thumb finger. "Fuck!" He cursed as she sat back down on his seat. He had gotten up from his seat when he had offered to drive her back home."Her friend Rebecca told me she was in a bad mood today. Said it had something to do with a relationship. I do not know what to think but I feel she has feelings for another." Landon tells his friend."Rebecca?" Mr Smith questioned wanting to be sure it was the right name he had heard his friend say."Yes. She is a colleague with Victoria. She said Victoria's mood has been down all day and she said it has to do with Victoria's love life and she mistook me for the guy who was supposed to be the cause of her sad mood." He explained to his friend as he sighed deeply.He wanted to doubt that she had interest in s

Landon got up from his seat. "I will be back soon. I have to use the restroom." He informed Mr Smith and Victoria who nodded their heads in response.As soon as Landon left, it became awkward for both Mr Smith and Victoria. Both looked elsewhere except themselves. Mr Smith was tempted to speak to her, to clear the differences between them but he couldn't man up and do it. It was unlike him and he knew it.He was still angry with her that she had left in the middle of the night without letting him know. The waiter came to take their order. "Good evening, Sir, ma'am." He greeted them again respectively, placing their orders on the table. Both nodded their heads in acknowledgment. "You may go for now, we will call you when we need you again."

Victoria froze on spot as she seized her breath. The person she had been trying to avoid and also the person who had invaded her thoughts since yesterday was now standing behind her. Her heart began to beat faster than normal. Her palms become sweaty again. She swallowed an invisible lump in her throat as she suddenly felt her mouth go dry."It's okay. We just got here." Landon tells his friend.Mr Smith had not seen Victoria yet as she was backing him. He looked at her hair and shrugged before taking a seat. It was when he sat down that he noticed Victoria beside him. His eyes widened once he saw her, he could tell she was avoiding him as she refused to look his way to see who it was. He guessed his voice had given him away.Landon cleared his throat. He noticed that Victoria wasn't trying to look at Mr Smith and he thought it was because she was caught by surprise having to have dinner with her boss. He expected such a reaction from her but he didn't know why Mr Smith was shocked t
