2024-10-29 19:42:56He cleared his throat, controlling his voice from quivering before adding, "Before you came in."
He wanted to add something else, to start up a discussion, but he sat in one of the seats instead, reclining into it and looking so sexy Jade felt her lingerie dampen. He rubbed his eyes slowly to clear his tired vision. Focusing them on one place was affecting him now.
But an image of Jade was worth every pain.
"Oh, I see." Jade replied, and walked to the edge of the table to sit, making no attempt to be friendly with him. Couldn't she at least pretend she didn't deem him so insignificant? Ricky wondered, and because he could not bear her sitting beside him and yet being out of reach for him, he blurted out immediately.
"How's Esmeralda? Didn't know you had a daughter."
Snapping her head up in surprise, she shrugged. "She's okay. Sorry about Friday by the way." She ignored what he had

"So we have signed the deal with the Mears corporation?""No, Anna, we've signed the deal with the Jason corporation." She was making reference to Oliver Jason who had gotten involved with Annabelle in the guise of doing business with Jade. He reminded her of Ricky with his asshole cocky personality. But then, everyone seemed to remind Jade of Ricky these days.All it took was a client or an employee to walk into her office wearing a fitted suit, and she would remember how well Ricky's suit had embraced his body, especially the last time they had seen. It took efforts not to think of him, and since she'd found out that the only thing that completely removed her mind from him was work.Well, not completely. She had been going through a document in her study the night before, and suddenly remembered him, his confident smirk and that lingering cologne of his that had refused to leave her senses.He raided her tho
When the Bosses Meet Bonding with the Child
"Your loss, you'll handle it if she throws tantrums" Jade said reluctantly, but she took his briefcase to lessen the load for him, and while he gazed at her in admiration, she strode into her office, oblivious to Annabelle who had her eyes fixated on the sexy billionaire.Ricky balanced Esmeralda in his arms, following Jade into her office and trying hard, really very hard, not to wonder how rounded her butt and hips were. But he didn't succeed at all, for as soon as he set his eyes on her table, he imagined her bent over on her knees, with her ass in the air, and him behind her, pumping in and out...Heat rushed into his blood, and he hoped no evidence of his desire would be detected by her. She would feel very disgusted with that primed face of hers if she could read his thoughts, and would immediately ask him out, with her perfectly pink lipstick coated lips turned down in obvious disapproval.Shame on you Ricky
When the Bosses Meet A Date?
"What time do I have my next appointment?" Jade asked Annabelle, straightening her shirt."You don't have any other appointment today, so enjoy yourself.""Why do I have this strong feeling that you're lying? You rescheduled my 12:00 appointment yesterday to four o'clock today right? And it's erhmm, three thirty already." Jade checked her small diamond wristwatch as she said the last words.Annabelle stuttered, nervously fiddling with her hair. "Okay truth is, I rescheduled it again""Why?""Because I have this feeling, that he is the one Jade. Look at the guy, he's good with Esmeralda and keeps staring at you like he wants to eat you for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus he's super hot.""And a playboy Annabelle, you forgot that? You don't play with my business that way, Anna."Annabelle heaved a sigh. "He may have been.. But that doesn'
When the Bosses Meet And Some...Perhaps?
"Jade I... I'm.." His breathing was laboured, the raspy quality of his voice taunting her. He licked his lips, unable to express the need that was eating at him.You were saying?Jade's determined eyes seemed to taunt him as she quickly closed the distance between them in a second, and covered his mouth with hers.She had kissed before, some had been good, others wonderful. For her it usually started with a light laying of lips against lips, but currently she was virtually drinking Ricky's firm lips, kissing him with an urgency she could not herself believe.He tasted of the wine they had drunk; addictive and sweet, and he matched her pace, plundering her lips skillfully and urgently. They unknowingly fought for dominance, each trying to lead the kiss and have the other follow.His firm callused fingers splayed across her back, robbing her of sanity as he leaned closer towards her,
When the Bosses Meet Awkward Afterwards
"He hasn't called or texted since then? Maybe he doesn't have your number, or..." Annabelle listed more than enough possible reasons in Ricky's defence, playing with the frozen doll that lay stiffly in bed, tossed there carelessly by Esmeralda whose voice could be heard from the lounge where she played house with Somto. Shaking her head in the negative, Jade sat in front of the vanity, applying baking powder on her face while checking if the shade of red lipstick she wanted to wear was provocative. "He wasn't busy Annabelle, we will only be very busy in the next two weeks when we'll travel to Dubai for the finalisation of the deal." Annabelle wasn't convinced, she propped her hand under her chin and continued, her expression quite convincing. "No. Maybe he didn't know how to approach you. Sorry to say boss, but you do look scary at times."
When the Bosses Meet Deal over Dinner?
It was a few minutes to seven when Jade arrived at the English restaurant, inwardly grateful that Rafferty hadn't chosen one of those clubs people spent time grinding against each other and getting high, she had almost thrown up the last time she was at a club.And she had only gone there to meet with a potential investor who had ended up being a pervert and blatantly told her that he would only invest in her company if she spent the night with him.She could still remember the repelling colour of his brown teeth, the darkness of his lips and his strong provocative perfume. It had taken discipline not to pour the wine she'd had in hand on his face, and she had cursed him silently, inwardly and politely declined.She had cursed her well-mannered personality that day, wishing she could let go the way she wanted and send her palm flying against the man's cheeks.But she'd had to maintain her her calm, e
When the Bosses Meet The Other Kimberly
"Tell me why we booked this place and you aren't even looking at me." The red haired who sat was opposite Ricky at the English restaurant was pissed off, watching her date gulp down his fourth glass of wine.He ignored her, focusing his attention instead on the task of pouring himself a fifth glass. It was damn better to deal with everything with his mind dull. That way, he could even put up with having sex with the red haired that night without conjuring the image of Jade.She was persistent, and spoke again. "You aren't in the mood to talk? Fine. Let's get out of here, the evening can only get better you know. And, you won't be required to say a word."Her voice had dropped to a whisper, and Ricky wished he could remember her other name; it was better than having another woman named Kimberly in front of him. But that was why he had called her anyway, wasn't it?Now, even in his highly alcohol induced
When the Bosses Meet Certified Asshole Much?
Ricky felt blinding sunlight welcome him to a new day as soon as consciousness set in, feeling for the first time the weight of a leg wrapped under the duvet resting comfortably on his, and turning, he glanced at the unfamiliar woman with soft creamy flesh whose nipples stood erect, covered in harsh bites he could only wonder if he had inflicted.He felt her lashes flutter, before her big black eyes opened. She smiled at him with swollen sensual lips. No need for any other confirmation, he was now sure of what had happened, considering that he was naked as well.This was a scene he was used to; waking up to faces he couldn't place and names he could not remember. Had he met her at the bar he usually frequented? More so, had he gone to the Olive bar owned by his friend Jason the night before?"Good morning." The raven haired woman said, sitting up beside him and staring at him with that look.The one he had got

When the Bosses Meet Cheers...to the Future
She made his emotions a huddle of cacophony, pushing him into that state of euphoria and ecstatic madness and hunger. It was a kiss that expressed the feeling of raw desire which was mutual between them; unquenching thirst for each other driving them both, leading the way, making them mere passengers in the ride to Nirvana. He cuddled her neck, kissing her lips like the drink he had wanted, needed to be alive for a long time. He had missed her, and so had she, and they told this to one another without uttering a word. Their lips were the words, their touches every proof each needed to know how the other felt about them. It was he who broke the kiss, having been reminded by the medicine he inhaled on her neck that she was convalescing. He fought hard not to remember her fall, that traumatising memory being replaced by the reality of her finally being in his arms. He wasn't panting for breath, but his chest was heaving up and down, his pupils dilated wi
When the Bosses Meet Wildest Dreams
Ricky gulped down his second cup of coffee for the night, the bitterness of the strong black coffee making him clench his teeth. It was just as he had requested for it; black, strong. Yet he felt like calling the staff to ask for a change. But it was exactly what he needed at the moment after being awake for a long long time. It was either that or he would sleep all the way to the U.S. without taking care of the urgent issues which awaited him. He checked the time by his watch, wondering why his assistant was delaying with his luggage. Not that he couldn't travel without his bags anyway considering that he could simply buy everything he needed when he got home, but there were documents he needed to sign as well before leaving. Documents like placing a ban on the P.I. in every country of the world for daring to cross him. He would ensure that although the man could live his life however he wanted without being arrested by the police, he would never be

"But before I say anything, I request that we watch the Homestead news first." Ricky added, and then reclined against the seat while the news anchor switched the TV on.Annabelle who was holding the remote, her heart in her chest switched channels, and they watched as another presenter came into view."We are here with information regarding Mr. Patrick Raymonds, whose offences of using the company as a font for his illegal activities recently went viral."Jade inhaled a deep breath, licking her lips nervously. At this point, the world had already got to know about what she had tried to protect for years, and so emphasising it in a TV didn't ache her anymore as much as she had thought it would."Based on the evidence we have gathered so far, it has been confirmed that Mr. Raymonds forced his wife, the late Prima Donna to sign the company rights over to him, and then started using the company to aid drug traffickers in their activities."The presente

She rubbed her stomach for the umpteenth time, that completely flat abdomen of hers that had served as a habitant for food and drinks...Now carried a child, one created from her and Ricky.She now had responsibility for two; whatever she did would affect the tiny foetus probably struggling to mature into a baby.She wanted to cry, again."Say ahh, Jade."She forced her mouth open, accepting the porridge oats that Chloe held out to her. Now, she couldn't refuse to eat anymore, because one other tiny human would be affected as well.Chloe reached out to wipe the corner of her mouth which the oat had spilled on, and then scooped another spoonful of the porridge.For the past three days since she had woken up, Chloe had been taking care of her during the day, while Annabelle stayed with her at night, during which her sister returned to spend the night with Esmeralda.It had felt strange at first, being at the receiving end o
When the Bosses Meet Oliver Jason
The last time he had got drunk, and drowned himself in a pool of alcohol because he needed to forget everything that had to do with reality, it had been the night he'd seen Jade with Rafferty at the restaurant, the night he had made the mistake of sending the red haired Kimberly to the floors and Jade had looked at him with those hard eyes.Tonight, he was here because his girlfriend and mother of his child hated him; because he had made another mistake of causing her reputation to be ruined, and killing the trust she had in him.."One more round, sir?" The bartender asked, staring at the empty glasses that Ricky had drained down his throat with skepticism."Yeah, fill everything up.""Just two glasses will do, Robert." Another voice intervened, that familiar teasing voice that Ricky had grown up having beside him."Okay, sir." The bartender replied, without making any pretence of feeling confused about whose order to take. When the owner of the ba
When the Bosses Meet The Road Taken
'Some time' became interpreted from hours to days, during which Ricky never left her side. It didn't matter how many times he received calls that the scandal was affecting his stocks as well because he and Jade had openly declared their relationship. Neither did it matter that in the expansive VIP room, Annabelle, Chloe who arrived the morning after the accident and Kiara took turns there as well, and urged him to go home even if it was for a day. He cleaned her every morning and night, his palm lingering on her stomach which was still so flat he still felt it was a dream that his baby was growing there. Outside, security was tightened both in front of her room and the entire hospital as well. Because the media was still outside, camping like locusts and waiting for either him or Jade to come out and give an interview. They had continued writing shit of course, stating that she must have hidden in the hospital room to avoid being prosecuted. B
When the Bosses Meet A Baby?
"You didn't know she's pregnant?" Those were the doctor's first words when he announced after the first examination and scan that mother and child were safe. It had been followed by silence, throwing open of lips like a box of cookies and the question, 'Pregnant?' "No, no..." He muttered, shock gripping him whole. With the help of Kiara, he had carried her to the back of his home where Jade's chauffer had been waiting. Well, waiting for a healthy boss walking with her both legs and seething in anger, not being carried to the car by a crying man soaked in a flood of her blood. She had been admitted into the VIP floor immediately, and sent to the ER where she had been examined and scanned. Now, the good family doctor of his who was attending to her stood in front of him. "It's okay, Ricky. She'll be fine okay? Just get a change of clothes while we prepare for surgery, there's nothing you can do here anyway." The fuck he would have the co
When the Bosses Meet 'S' for Screwed!
After a while, she excused herself slid off the bed, her actions so calm it scared him so much. More than he could ever explain. He watched her pick up her phone and type some messages, before wiping the tears in her cheeks as though they encompassed a salty liquid of annoying flies rather than evidence of her pains. Then she walked to the closet, and pulled out her office wear. "Babe... Babe please, where are you going? The reporters must be outside." He dared to ask, standing and walking towards her as well. "I already asked my assistant to send for my chauffer. He will pick me up through the back gate. Is that okay by you?" "Fuck" he cursed beneath his breath, it was the tone of sheer politeness and emptiness, worse than the one she had used when they had first met. In desperation, he rushed towards her and wrapped his arms around her from the back, burying his head in her neck. "Jade please, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for l
When the Bosses Meet A Dinner with the Letter 'F'
She went deathly pale, green veins popping up visibly on her forehead, and spreading across her shaky palms; teeth clenched tightly together; lips quavering as her eyes failed to focus on a particular object. Seeing that she wasn't going to tell him anything, and that she kept hanging up on callers, Ricky took the phone from her, his heart skipping when his palms made contact with hers. Hers had gone cold like those of a person who had ceased to breathe and function normally. He read the information online as quickly as he could; it had exposed every damn thing about her family and business from Esmeralda's parentage, Chloe and the sleazy bastard who had denied the pregnancy, all the way to her father's crimes while in power as the CEO of the Raymonds corporation. He had committed all sorts of atrocities; using the company as a font for his illegal drug trafficking activities and their warehouses to aid female trafficking. And Jade was being accused o
