All Chapters of Love and Lies: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Maeve glanced at her wristwatch. The time read half past nine in the morning. She glanced at the building in front of her and let out a small sigh. Beside her, her personal assistant, Noelle looked at her wondering what was wrong. The both of them were seated in the car waiting in front of Bass Enterprise. They had a meeting scheduled for ten o’clock in the morning and they were both excited about it. Maeve was doing a good job of concealing her happiness though. She had a bored look on her face as she constantly glanced at her wristwatch, waiting for the time to clock quarter to ten before she would get out of the car. Once it was quarter to ten, the driver climbed out of the car, rushing to open Maeve’s door. She climbed out briskly, walking into the building with Noelle scrambling after her. The security man opened the door and the both of them walked in. The receptionist behind the desk immediately rose to her feet the moment she saw Maeve approaching. “Good morning, Miss Casalen

There was a knock on Dominic’s door and he let out a small groan before he asked the person to come in. The door opened, revealing his personal assistant, James. Or is it John? He could never really tell but who cared anyway. Without looking away from his computer, he asked, “What do you want?”“We received a message from Dylan Bass, sir,” his personal assistant replied. “Casalengo Enterprises has agreed to the deal.”Dominic’s ears perked up at those words but he tried not to show his eagerness. He simply raised his head slowly to look at his personal assistant. “I see….” he answered. “Well, message Casalengo Enterprises directly and inform them that we need to meet so we can begin working on this immediately. Dylan Bass wants it completed by the end of the month.”“Yes sir.”Dominic nodded dismissively at him, turning back to his work. However, he sensed that James…..or John was still standing by the door. He raised his head and he was right. “Is there something else you need?” he a

Maeve cursed under her breath as she prepared for her meeting this morning. Dressed in a pair of pink suit and a silver shoe with a silver bag to match, she had her hair packed into a bun. She walked out of the room, a frown on her face. As she descended the stairs she found her father sitting by the table, having his breakfast. “Good morning, dad,” She greeted. He glanced up from his food. “Morning, darling. You look amazing.”Maeve grinned at his words, despite the annoyance brewing in her – not at her father of course but at the meeting she clearly had to attend. “Thanks, dad.” She assessed him slowly, noticing that he was dressed formally in a pair of black suit. “Are you going to the office, dad?”“Yes. I thought I would pop in to see how things are going,” he answered. “I won’t take long, though. Just a while.”“Oh,” Maeve answered. “But I’m not going to be there.”He paused his eating briefly, looking up at his daughter. “Why?” He wondered. “I told you I have to meet with Dom

The day started out as normal as usual for Dominic Fitz. He had left the house very early, heading for his office and he was currently sitting by his desk, reviewing a couple of documents. He and Noelle had gotten into a huge fight, early this morning before she left – his mother had called the previous day to invite them for dinner, Noelle wanted to go but Dominic declined for both of them. Safe to say that Noelle was not at all pleased by this and all hell broke loose. She yelled a couple of names at him before storming out to work angrily. Now that he thought of it, he realized Maeve would have to deal with a moody and irritated Noelle. The thought made him smile. Everything went downhill the moment his personal assistant, John, rushed into his office, holding the phone in his hand. “Sir…your father wants to...speak to you…”Dominic sighed, rubbing his forehead with his palm. “Can it wait? I have a lot of things to work on right now.”John glanced at the phone nervously. “It’s…it’

Maeve stood in front of the mirror, admiring her dress. Her stylist had really outdone herself with this floral dress. She had paired with stilettos and a small purse. Her hair was parked into a high ponytail and her makeup looked flawless and stunning. She was going to be the centre of attention at the event which was exactly what she was going for. She grinned at herself before walking out of the room. Her father was downstairs, dressed in an expensive black tuxedo, waiting for her. As he saw her approaching, a smile lit up his face, “Ready?” he asked and she nodded. He held his hand out for her and she took it. Together, they walked out to the limousine waiting outside for them. Tonight, Dylan Bass was finally going to launch the project in this exclusive event that Maeve and her father were attending. Ever since the interviews and magazines releases, the publicity and awareness of the project had skyrocketed, so, even when Dylan Bass got wind of what was happening, she made the d
