Flushed

A gasp escaped Veil’s lips as her face lit up. A searing heat traveled around her body, and she pressed her thighs together, feeling a sudden moisture in between her legs. Anders said nothing else throughout the ride, as he had battles of his own. Since Orleans arrived at the restaurant for the meeting, he had tried to stop himself from throwing a punch at his pretty face, even though he knew the satisfaction the crunch of his bones would give him.Still, it wasn’t a scene he wanted Veil to witness. But Anders felt rattled to the core by the way Orleans kept looking at Veil from the corner of his eyes like some high schooler who had been love-struck. Anders tried so hard not to confront that situation because he didn’t want to appear the same way Orleans did before him. And when he talked about Veil like she was some errand girl who was going out of line, Anders almost lost it. Although he knew that it was just Orleans trying to get back at him, he hated that he had used Veil to ac

Luck

Simon raised an eyebrow at Veil, as she folded the paper and put it back in the package. She blinked at him, and an awkward silence followed. Now, Simon was thinking that he should have left the package downstairs and allowed the delivery agent to go through the whole hassle of getting it upstairs.“How did the meeting go?” Simon asked. In truth, he wasn't really concerned about the meeting because he had no clue what it was about. He just really needed to make small talk to break through the awkward silence.“It was the absolute worst.” Veil sighed, resting her back. “I have all these papers to turn into a digital format and it is already stressing the hell out of me.”“Do you need me to help? It's not so different from what I do downstairs?”“Can you do that?”“Of course.” Simon wanted to add “anything for you”, but he figured that it only sounded really weird and was most likely to creep her out. So he settled for a huge smile that made Veil smile back.Simon went to his office to

You'll Anticipate It

Veil didn't know how to feel as she walked back into her office. As her heels echoed on the tiled ground, her heart thumped in perfect synchrony, making her halt abruptly in the middle of the hallway. Shaking her head, she tried to get rid of her fears before continuing the journey to her office.Although she hadn't done anything wrong that she could remember, the look Anders had given her wasn't particularly a friendly one.He was obviously pissed about something.And that smirk.Urgh! Veil felt shudders run through her as she dropped into her seat. She caught a package on the floor from the corner of her eyes and muttered “shit!” Anders had instructed that she finished the food before he returned to the office and she had totally forgotten about it.The shrill of the telephone suddenly interrupted the silence in the office, and Veil almost jumped out of her seat in shock. The phone stopped ringing before she could pick it up, but in a second, the ringing tone started again, and she

You're Anything I Want You To Be

For every step that Simon took that brought him closer to Anders’ office, Veil wished she had telepathy each time. Perhaps, if she lived in some fantasy world where she could wish things to be, she would have screamed at Simon from her head, telling him to turn around and go back to his office. But this was no fantasy, and Simon was mandated to obey every one of Anders’ commands. He was still the CEO of Kingston Groups, and as such, even the smallest instruction mattered. Veil could only imagine the derision on Simon’s face as he struggled to come to terms with that flimsy errand. Even Veil had never fetched Anders something like that. Sure, she had to get him lunch and his usual black coffee before the start of the day. But that was about it. A bottle of water all of a sudden for someone who wasn’t him? That was suss. The knock Veil had been waiting for sounded at the door, and as her hands stopped midway to her mouth, Anders glared at her, urging her to keep eating. “Come in,

I Want...

Veil stared at Anders like he was a crazy person, and he couldn’t even blame her. He was sitting in front of her, proclaiming that he wanted her to be his. No rational person was going to be fine with that, but for Veil and Anders, it was more than the bounds of rationality. And even though Veil was yet to admit it to herself, Anders was certain of it. He could see it in the way her pupils were dilated each time she looked up at him like she was drunken in his presence. He could tell from the way she flushed each time he came remotely close to her. In all of Anders’ life, he was barely wrong about something. And he knew this wasn’t going to be an exception. “Mr. Roderiguez...”“Anders. For the last time.”A muscle worked in Veil’s jaw, and Anders found it remarkably attractive. She was pissed, and it was all due to his stubbornness. But he knew he had to have this woman. “You can’t just say that when you don’t mean it.”“Who says I don’t?” Anders questioned, angling his head. He n

Absolutely Nothing

Anders would have asked whoever it was by the door to get the fuck away, so he could continue from where he stopped with Veil. But the trance was broken, and she was scampering far away from him, the hunger he recognized still in her eyes. Veil stood mere feet away from Anders, her eyes hazy and her breath untamed. Her previously sleeked-back ponytail was nowhere to be found, and in its place were her curls sticking all over her back. Her skin was a bright red, and she still pressed her legs together. Anders was pleased that even though she was no longer right in front of him, he still had that arresting effect on her. Both of them must have forgotten what made them jump apart in the first place because Veil suddenly froze in panic as the office doors were pushed open and Sophia walked in. She still looked as immaculate as Veil had seen her hours ago, and she could only imagine the stark difference between them right now. Her stiletto heels made a tapping sound on the ground as sh

President Duties

Veil was distraught for the rest of the day, as every moment kept popping up in her head. She kept thinking there was something she could possibly do, even though Anders had told her to do nothing. But how could he expect her to just stay still and watch everything go by from a corner? If Sophia hadn't bothered knocking before walking through those doors, Veil would have been in a different type of trouble. Or maybe Sophia knew and was only pulling her legs. With a start, Veil realized that she had been working on the same page of a contract for the past thirty minutes and had made absolutely no change to it. "I think I'm going insane," Veil muttered to herself as she leaned against the headrest, closing her eyes. She could feel a migraine coming along and didn't think she could work in that condition. Veil could remember the day she got the invitation for an interview at Kingston Group. She had been so happy that she would finally be able to work somewhere as prestigious as KG,

Worries

Veil asked the windows to be rolled down and she reveled in the feeling of the cold air caressing her face. She put her hands outside the car, her fingertips having an alluring tug with the air. Veil was in control more than half the time, but it made her only feel worse.Withdrawing her hand, she sank into the seat, thinking about how difficult it was to be the driver of her life in real-time. She was in a tug with the cosmos, yet it kept flinging her in every direction. First, it was her father who had fallen ill at a moment when everything wasn't rosy, then her hunt for a job that almost took a whole year.“Where's your mind at, Veil?” Orleans’ voice fleeced over to her and she shook her head subtly.“It's just one of those days,” she breathed, sinking further into the seat.“Is it your boss again?”“No,” Veil answered, shaking her head. Although it was indisputable that Anders was a lot of things, she couldn't pin this on him. In fact, he had made things a tad better for her by en

Lies

Anders brought his car to a halt in front of Sophia's house, and for the umpteenth time, he wondered why he had agreed to do this. Spending the night going through the update report on the construction site sure was a better way to spend the night, rather than being cooped up in here with the idea of a marriage hanging over his head.One that he surely didn't want.He was late, and intentionally so. Anders had spent over an hour walking through his entire house, looking for an excuse to bail out on the dinner. He knew exactly how tonight was going to go and dreaded it. How was he supposed to act love-struck when all of him needed to check if Veil was okay?As Anders stepped out of the car, the doors to the entrance were pulled open and Sophia walked out of them with her head high. She looked great tonight, with a blood-red dress that hung right above her knees, and her hair down in ringlets. She had on a pair of black heels that looked pretty uncomfortable, but trust Sophia to strut i

A Long Night

“Are the lights dancing?” Veil's speech sounded slurry, and she thought she was going to topple right off the chair. She couldn’t remember how many shots she had had, and Orleans wasn’t really keeping count either. “You’re just drunk, Veil,” Orleans chuckled, his shoulders moving along with the sound. He felt the tension of the week leave his bones, and he relaxed on one hand, leaning on the table. “No,” Veil shook her head. “Can’t you see it? The lights are … they are hopping now? Is it salsa? Maybe ballet.”“You sound so convincing that if I didn’t know better, I would have believed you immediately,” Orleans said. “Should we try something fun?”“What are you thinking?” Veil grinned at him. “Another … round of shots? I’m sure … I can down it … without the lime. Wanna see it?”“We should take a drive around town,” Orleans suggested, his eyes sparkling. “My car is a convertible, so we can feel the wind on our faces. We could add music to it and belt it out loudly into the night. What
