I gently touched her face on the screen.

She’s so stubborn…

And I wondered if I could ever tame her…

I wanted her to always be the way she is when we have sex…

I want her to always look at me like that as if I was the only man she wanted between her legs…

I wanted her to always call my name.

I shut my eyes,briefly.

Should I give her a call?

Was she mad that I had seduced her last night?

She might not want to talk to me.

And I was really in a good mood today.

I didn’t want to give her a call and hear her say that the sex meant nothing to her.

I had to invite Calvin to hang out with me tonight so I wouldn’t give in to the temptation of going to Tessa’s house again.

*TESSA*

I got busy as soon as I got to the company.

I didn’t want to think of anything or anyone.

A knock sounded on my door.

“Come in.”

I lifted up my head to see Megan walking in.

“You called for me,manager.”Megan began with a sour expression on her face.

She was always so arrogant and I heard she has a close relationship with one of the higher-ups.

I didn’t know who exactly but I knew they were people I couldn’t mess with.

As long as she completes the works assigned to her,I really didn’t want to have any problem with Megan.

“You’re here to submit last month’s report.”I reminded.

“I’m not done with it.”She replied,nonchalantly.

“But you know it’s high time we submit everything about last month…I can’t keep waiting for you to turn it in.”

“Well,I initially thought you were going to submit it today and I wanted to work on it as soon as I got to work but when I didn’t see you this morning…I thought you weren’t coming in today,”

Is she seriously trying to blame that on me?

I knew if I continued to push it,she would say I was just coming to work at noon when I wasn’t even granted a leave.

She was purposely asking for trouble and I wasn’t in the mood to put up with her right now.

“Please go and complete the report now.Make sure you submit to me before you get off work today.”

“Sure.”She spun and walked off.

My fist clenched and I called Candice into my office.

“Go find out who among the higher-ups is on her side.”I instructed.

“Got it.Pay no mind to her.She’s very mean to everyone.”

Candice was my assistant…

We had gotten employed at the same time…she was very nice and we got along pretty well.

I wanted to know the person who made Megan feel so powerful…

Was the person in a position to get me fired?

*****************************

Few minutes to closing hours,Audrey gave me a call.

“Let’s hit the bar tonight...I feel like getting drunk.”She began.

“Sorry.I’m tired.I just want to go home.”

“Really?Was work really stressful today?I think you should burn off the stress with some alcohol…I will be at your company in five.”And then she hung up.

I sighed…

Work wasn’t all that stressful today…

I just feel heavy hearted about what happened last night.

Damn you,Declan!

*DECLAN*

That night,Calvin and I sat in front of the bar counter downing some wine.

“You’re smiling,man.”Calvin suddenly said.

I cleared my throat.”I wasn’t.”

I can’t stop thinking about her.

“You were.Tell me,what got you smiling?“

“I wasn’t smiling.”

I quickly thought of something so as to change the topic.

“I’ll be going on a business trip for a few days.Could you help me take care of Jayden.Brad is coming with me.And you know it’s just us three that knows about Jayden.I still don’t want anyone else to know.”

Calvin patted me on the back.

“I got you,man.I will go see him everyday.”

“Thanks.I’ll give your phone number to his nanny,Rose.She’ll be in contact with you.”
