61| Just sex partners.

When Reese and Axel were finally alone in his office, she inched closer to his desk and sat on the visitors' chair. "Why did you agree to take me with you to the club?" She asked and shook her head. "I don’t want to go."He raised a brow. "What do you want to do?" "I don’t know." She shrugged. "Anything else except going to the club.""Let’s just stick to our initial plan then." He rubbed his palms together, his gaze fixed on her. "Go and wait for me naked.""But you promised your friend that you were going to be there." She said. "Isn’t he going to get mad if you don’t show up?""I would just tell him that we lost track of time while having sex. He already knows that we are sex partners.” He leaned back in his seat and crossed his arms over his chest. "I would make him believe that it was so good, hence why we lost track of time.""You told him that we were sex partners?" Reese asked, raising her brow. "Yes." He nodded his head. "Isn’t that what we are? Just sex partners."Reese w

62| Kind gesture.

It wasn’t until 10:00 p.m. before Axel returned home, and she was still fully clothed when he arrived. Based on the mood he was in before she left his office, she wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to strip her naked while waiting for him to return, as he had instructed when they got to work in the morning.She was on the bed, watching a movie with her phone out of boredom, when he slipped inside the room."Welcome." She muttered as he ventured inside the room, and he nodded his head in response.He was still giving her attitude, she noticed. She was so glad that she wasn’t waiting for him naked; if not, she would have felt mortified if he had given her the attitude while she was naked. She knew she shouldn’t have said what she said earlier, but he was overreacting, and it was getting really annoying. "Mr. Griffin." She called, and he briefly glanced at her to show that he was listening to whatever she had to say. He wasn’t concerned about her calling him by his last name, and she

63| Can we talk?

As Reese slowly opened her eyes the following morning, the first thing her eyes caught was Axel’s gaze, and her heart slipped a beat.He was laying down beside her, staring intently at her, and he quickly flicked his gaze away when she opened her eyes."Good morning, Mr. Griffin." She greeted, her voice in a murmur."Good morning." He said under his breath.He carried on with the attitude he was giving her from yesterday to today, and she was not having it anymore. She couldn’t continue to stay in his house if he was going to continue with the shitty attitude he was showing her. She needed to protect her mental health because it seemed she was losing it already.Pressing her lips together in a thin line, she said. "Can we talk?"He quickly jumped out of bed. "Not now. I am going to the study now." He said, but Reese wasn’t going to allow him to get away this time around."You have been ignoring me since yesterday, and I am not comfortable with it." She told him as she sat up on the b

64| You’ll be fine.

Reese had no other choice but to go back to Lucy’s house because she had no other place to go. The worst that could happen is for her mom to catch her there. It's not like she was going to go to jail. When she entered the living room feeling down in the dumps, she saw Harry and Lucy cuddling up naked on the couch. "Damn, sorry." She muttered and quickly looked away, glad that Lucy’s body was covering Harry’s and she didn’t get to see Harry’s manhood. "Reese!" Lucy exclaimed as she tried to stand up, but Harry quickly grabbed her and pulled her even closer."Stay still and help me cover up." He told her, and a smile curled on her lips. "I would head inside now." Reese said as she made her way to the bedroom."I would be with you shortly." She heard Lucy yell just as she slipped inside the bedroom. Down in the dump, she dumped her bag in the middle of the room, then strode to the bed and tumbled on it. She left Axel’s house because she wanted to be away from him so that she could

65| Jealousy!

The weekend flew by in a blur and Reese was feeling much better, thanks to Lucy who cheered her up all through the weekend. It was Monday again and Reese had resumed work. She was in Axel’s office with Tom and they had just concluded their routine Monday morning meeting. “You have a meeting with the research team in less than one hour.” Tom reminded Axel as he leapt to his feet.Axel nodded his head. “I know.”“See you later then.” Tom said, nodding his head, as he turned on his heel and started trudging to the door.Reese also leapt to her feet and started trailing behind Tom, but she stopped in her track when Axel called her name. “Ms. McBride.”She turned to look at him. “Yes? Mr. Griffin.”“Can I see you for a second?” He asked. She pressed her lips together knowing that being in a closed room with Axel at that moment wasn’t a good idea—they would either fight or get in each other’s pants and she didn’t want neither to happen. The door was pulled open and it was shut close alm

66| Saving grace.

“What?!” Reese exclaimed, her lashes fluttering in perplexity. The last thing she wanted was to become a topic of discussion between the employees in the company. Chloe turned to look at her. “What? You didn’t expect your little secret to be let out of the bag? You little slut.”Reese drew in a sharp breath, refusing to get provoked by Axel’s ex. Chloe waited for her response for a few seconds and when she didn’t get any, she returned her gaze to Axel. “Why are you fucking a slut Axel?”Axel raised lifted his index finger to point at her, the rage burning beneath his eyes palpable. “This should be the last time you call her a slut.” He warned. “Axel, open your eyes. She doesn’t love you.” She placed her hand on his shoulder and he yanked it off. She sighed and continued. “She’s just after your money.”“No she’s not.” He pressed his lips together. “Can you leave now? I have work to do.”“Look at her. Look at what she’s wearing.” Chloe flicked her gaze at Reese before returning it to

67| Keeping tabs.

After Reese left Axel’s office she suddenly became pressed and needed to use the restroom, so she made her way to the restroom. When she got to the ladies room, there were two ladies inside. She could hear their voices when she opened the door, but as she slipped inside, they suddenly went silent and she could swear that they were gossiping about her. She glanced at them briefly before sauntering to one of the stalls and entering it. When she finished responding to the call of nature, she stepped out of the stall and strolled to the mirror to look at her self.The ladies that were inside the bathroom when she entered had left and another lady was also standing in front of the mirror.“Hey.” The lady said, as she swung her head to the side to look at Reese. “Hey.” Reese muttered, as she turned on her heels and started walking away. “How does fucking your boss feel like?” The lady sneered. Reese stopped in her tracks, then turned to look her. “I am not fucking the boss.” She denie

68| It’s about me.

After Reese closed from work for that day, she didn’t bother to go and inform Axel she wasn’t going because she didn’t know what temptation might do to her if she stayed in a closed room with him again. As she made her way to the building’s exit, she let out a frustrated breath. She would have to take the bus home just like she did when she was going to work in the morning. Zayn didn’t come to pick her up, and she wondered why he didn’t make an attempt to pick her up last Friday. Tugging her phone out of her bag, she decided to put a call through to him and ask why he didn’t make an attempt to drop her off at work last Friday and pick her up. She dialed his number, and he picked up on the first ring. "Hey Heiress." He said it from the other end of the phone. "I am surprised that you are calling me.""Why should you be surprised?" She chuckled softly. "Aren’t we friends?""We are friends, but I believe Mr. Griffin would get mad if he learned that you are talking to me right now."

69| Through the window.

"Fuck!" Reese exclaimed as she pushed Axel away from her and sprung up, her heart beating dangerously fast against her rib cage. She hadn’t thought of the possibility of her mom showing up at Lucy’s house before going inside with Axel."If you hadn’t left my house, this wouldn’t have been happening." Axel groaned, frustration clawing at his chest."Shut up!" Reese exclaimed as she reached for her towel and wrapped it around her body. She turned to look at him. "Get up and wear your clothes."Before he could even reply, she rushed to the bedroom door and yanked it up. Lucy was standing there, her expression etched with worry.“What do we do now?" Lucy shrieked. “Where is she?" Reese asked quickly. "She’s still behind the door." Lucy told her."Has she seen you?" Reese asked quickly.Lucy shook her head. "No, she hasn't. When she rang the doorbell, I peered through the peephole to know who it was, and that was how I knew that she was the one standing there.""Good." Reese heaved a s

70| Ta-da!

The second Axel jumped out through the window, Reese quickly rushed out of the room, to the front door and yanked it open. "Ta-da!" She beamed awkwardly as she grabbed her mom’s wrist and pulled her inside.She had to make sure her mom entered the house quickly, because Axel’s car was parked in front of it, so if he got to the front of the house, he would see her, and she needed to avoid that. "So I was right." Her mom said as she snatched her hand from Reese’s grip. "Right about what?" Reese asked, feigning ignorance. She knew exactly what her mom was talking about. "About you being here." Her mom said. "Oh." She scratched the back of her neck and smiled awkwardly. "Surprise.""Good evening, Mrs. McBride." Lucy greeted Reese’s mom, and she swung her head to look at her, a dark look seeping through her eyes."Excuse us." Mrs. McBride said, and Lucy nodded her head before sauntering to the bedroom. "Mom, why are you here?" Reese asked the moment Lucy was out of sight. "So, you p
