"Sir! Here's the documents you ask me to pick up," one of Isaac’s employees says. He looked over the folders. "Is this all the information I needed?" he asked, and the employee explain everything, but Isaac's attention was already elsewhere. His brows furrowed, his lips pressed together in a tight line, as he can clearly see Ava talking with a group of his other men employees. She seems friendly enough. "Sir?" the employee repeated. "Hm, just put the documents on the table in my office, Lance. I'll just check the documents later," he said, distracted. Lance nodded, picked up the files, and left him. When Lance already out of his sight. Isaac walked towards where she is, with his expression darkening the closer he got to her, until he finally stopped when he reached his destination. Ava, as well as the employees who were happily chatting before, turned their heads and saw Isaac, making them bowed their heads a little as a signed of greeting from their boss. "Ms. Flores, go t
"Bro!" Isaac office door opened revealing Ralph's smiling face as he entered. "I thought you and Gregory had other plans today so you can't be here. Why suddenly showing up here?" Isaac asked with his brows raised. "Well, Gregory suddenly have a change of mind," he said shrugging his shoulders, as he stared at Isaac who appeared to be in deep thoughts while staring down at his computer screen. "Hm, I'm curious how's the feeling now that you don't need to wear mask to cover your half of you face, boss?" Ralph teased. "It's good! I don't need to waste my time pretending in front of her," he admitted, as Ralph laughed. "By the way, where's Gregory? For sure, he's with you when you goes here." Isaac asked as he looked up from his laptop. Ralph smirked and leaned closer towards him. "He might enjoying Ava's presence now." He whispered. Isaac brows slowly drew together. He noticed how Ralph looked at him. He's sure that he's waiting him to react like he's not into his news that Gr
"Can we talk?" With a glass of wine in his hand, Isaac walked closer to where his friend is. Gregory leaned back into the plush leather sofa and surveyed his surroundings with a curious gaze. "Yes, bro!" Isaac also pick a glass and poured a wine on it. "We're best bros aren't we?" Isaac took a seat and took a sip of his drink. The rich ruby liquid that filled his mouth sent a wave of pleasant sensations across his mouth that caused him to smirked. "Of course! Wait, What do you really want to talk about?" He glanced over at Isaac and saw that he has already downed half his glass. "You know that what I hate the most are those people who's good at betrayal." Isaac finally meet Gregory's eyes. "You like her." It's obviously not a question but a statement. "What do you mean?" Gregory takes another sip and set the glass aside. Isaac then proceeded to stare at him with a challenging glare. "Come on man, you are trying to hit the woman I really hate the most. You know that I
"Boss, wait!" Isaac didn't pay attention to Ralph's voice anymore as he pushed the door open with his shoulder and rushed inside the empty conference room. "Hey!" Ralph called out again before hurrying after him. "Why you are dying to get out of your office?" Isaac didn't even bothered to glance at Ralph's direction. "You should at least show your support for Gregory, especially that he already have a courage to confess his feelings for Ava." Isaac closed his laptop and sighed loudly. "Gregory didn't even think about our bro code, Ralph. Do not steal anyone who's already a part of someone's past relationship, but he still did it," he shook his head and looked around. "Is that really the reason why you look so down?" Isaac eyes thinning. "Yes! I know it's not happening yet. But I feel that Gregory will hindered my plan to hurt that bitch more. It'll be very hard to do that in front of him, because he's already very sensitive about her. I don't need more problems right now."
"Sorry, Sir. But we are still didn't see Ms. Peterson also." "Thank you." With his jaw clenched, Isaac walked back on the hallway towards his office. "Damn that woman?! Where is she?" Ralph who's following him took a deep sighed. "It's still too early in the morning, bro. But you are making your blood boiled already," he patted his shoulder to comfort him. "I need her right now, Ralph. What? She still wait for Gregory to drive her through here or maybe they shared a coffee date first before going here?!" she thought. His eyes were twitching in anger while walking at the same time. He was so pissed off that he could throw something at the wall but of course he did his best to control himself. "Well, Gregory really wants to drive for Ava, so she doesn't need to commute just to arrive here. Besides... it's not surprising, he's courting her," Ralph said with amusement. "Don't start me with your kind of humor, Ralph. I am serious here. This what I'm expecting, Gregory's making th
"Y-You need me here earlier to order me to do something, right? T-Then just tell me what to do now, so I can go and do my work," she whispered nervously, yet he didn't move. He can still clearly see the anger in his eyes. "Who told you that I need you here earlier to order you to do anything?" he asked with a harsh whisper. She was startled by his question and took a step backwards. "Then, I'm going now." She move but Isaac suddenly pinched her buttock using his hand. Ava's eyes widened, her cheeks grew hot in seconds. "You'll regret letting Gregory court you, bitch. Your body's mine," he said with a low voice which sent shivers down her spine. "I-Isaac, we can't do this here. Someone —" Before she could finished her sentence, Isaac pulled her up, making her wrap his legs around his waist, until Isaac put her down on his table. "Look, I-I still need to talk to some important people here. A-And... yes! I still not done on the last two pages of the files you ordered me to do ye
"Thanks for this Gregory. You can leave now," Isaac said, without looking up. Gregory stared at him but follow his order without comment. He's walking at the penthouse' hallway when he saw Ava standing near the window with her back facing him. He smiled and decided to walk towards her. Ava that time can't help but to smile and feel her cheeks burning. She's reminiscing the moment Isaac and her shared inside his office. Even though she knows that it's just a plain sex for him, and there's no love everytime they're doing that, but there's still something about being in his arms... or even having his hands on her... that was enough to make her blush like crazy. After sometime of thinking about what happened between them, she heard Gregory's voice. She then turned around to face him. "Hey!" she greeted him. "Hello. Is everything alright?" he asked, taking his coat off. "What are you thinking? And why you're alone here standing? Just watching the birds outside?" he asked pointing
"I-Isaac," Ava quickly wiped her tears and stood up straight and tried to be calm. "Who fucking give you the permission to enter my room?!" Isaac roared, his eyes filled with rage and fury. As he finish his sentence he immediately slam the door shut. "I'm sorry... I-I..." Ava stuttered while trying to calm down. "No! You're always like that, saying your sorry like it would be enough." Isaac spat. His tone sounded harsh and cold. Ava closed her eyes firmly, and then looked up again. "Can you be honest, Isaac? Don't you still love me?" she asked him, her voice full of hope. Isaac closed the distance between them, as his jaw clenched. "I don't love you anymore, bitch. And loving you before was the most regretful decision I ever made in my entire life." He spat out the words, and it's like the wind got knocked off Ava's lungs. She felt a painful stab on her chest and her stomach turned upside down. "You know what I'm only feeling whenever you're around, huh? It's a pure hatred a
