Chapter 48
“No! We can’t just pick up from where we left off! I’m with someone else now, don’t you get it?!”
“Is it Sean Edmund?! That impostor?!”
“He’s not an impostor! He’s a nice guy unlike you! You’re a terrible person because you beat him up and destroyed his house!”
Destroyed his house? Please! The damage wasn’t even worth $500. She should quit exaggerating. He deserved the beating he got.
“He also beat me up too! We were friends and he stole my girl!”
“I was never your girl Adam! And I will never be.”
“Oh, we’ll see about that. You and I are made for each other. Ever since I tasted your lips, I haven’t had any other. And I won’t stop till I taste everything else. Even after I do, I would taste you all over again.”
“Shut up!” She screamed.
I made my way hastily towards her. I was going to grab her and show her how serious I was but before I could reach her, she ran out of my office.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
She knew she wouldn’t be able to resist so she escaped.
I called Paul on my intercom.
“Inform Miss Parker of her notice period. Now.”
I dropped the call.
Not up to 10 minutes later Sophia came bursting through my door.
“Seriously?! Three months?! How much sex do you plan to get from me?!” She looked really angry.
“Even if I have sex with you every day for the next three months, I still won’t be satisfied. I want you to be completely mine.” for the rest of my life.
“You selfish bastard. I hate you and I wish I never met you!”
“Don’t say that Sophia. I am the best thing that could ever happen to you, and you know it. You’re the same for me.”
“Go to hell!” She stormed off this time, slamming my door.
I only smiled because I know soon she will be mine eventually and when the time comes, I know I will be the happiest man in the world!

-3 days later-
Sophia Parker
“Hey mum.” I picked up her call.
“Hi honey, how are you?” My mum said happily.
“Just great. How is dad?”
“He’s perfectly fine. I’m so happy he’s back home now. We’ve been following the food ROTA and he absolutely hates it!” She laughed.
“Wow.” I laughed too but it was forced.
“Sophia, you don’t sound happy. What’s wrong?”
“Uh… I quit my job.”
“What? Why? Sophia, why would you quit such a wonderful job?” She shrieked.
“It’s not so wonderful mum. My boss is hell-bent on sleeping with me.”
“What? Doesn’t he know that you’re a virgin?!”
“No he doesn’t.”
“I can’t believe this! He seemed like such a gentleman when we met. I never imagined him to be the type to proposition his female employees. How long has this been going on for?”
“Longer than you can imagine…”
“I’m so happy you’ve quit honey. That man is up to no good. I knew he liked you and was interested in you but I expected him to court you the right way.”
She’s right. If he was a gentleman he would have courted me properly, just like Sean is doing.
My intercom rang.
“Mum, I have to go. I’m at work right now.”
“Okay honey. We’ll talk later. Bye now.”
I dropped the call and picked up my intercom.
“Proceed to my office now.” The swine said before ending the call abruptly.
I don’t think I can spend another 3 months here if he’s going to behave like this all the time.
I went into his office and saw him looking intently at his computer.
“Grab a chair and come sit here by my side. I need your help with something.” He said.
“With what?” I folded my arms. I’m sure it was something that he could do by himself without my help.
“Grab a chair, come sit, and you’ll find out.”
Ugh!
I did as he told me to, taking one of his coffee chairs and placing it at a reasonable length away from him before sitting down.
He looked at me for a while and I looked back too with wide eyes.
He suddenly grabbed the chair and pulled it swiftly to him, almost knocking me off but I fell on him instead.
“Whoa” I shrieked.
“Much better.” He said. Our bodies were practically jumbled up. He felt so solid. I moved away from him but the position of the chair did not let me get too far. “I need help with allocating capital to the company’s priorities.”
“Why don’t you just give the work to me and let me handle it? You always do.” His face was really close.
“It’ll be better and faster if we BOTH work on it.” He smiled down at me.
We worked closely together, every now and then his thighs brushed mine. At a point, he put his arm around me because we were so close to each other. His hand caressed my arm gently and I shouldn’t be letting him do this to me… but I did. I didn’t stop him anytime he deliberately touched me and pretended it was an accident or how his hand moved up and down my arm as if he was oblivious to what he was doing. I tried not to but… I liked it. Being next to him felt so nice. Once I shivered and he looked at me, I had gotten goosebumps.
“Are you cold?” He asked.
“A little.” I nodded. Not because of the weather, but because of what he was doing to me.
He brought his jacket and put it around me.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
I loved the smell of his jacket. It was just like him, very masculine.
I looked up at him and oddly, I felt very… soft. I was the opposite of him in every way. I was feminine and tender while he was a hunk and very strong. I imagined him holding me with those firm hands, protecting me, also pleasing me… like he had done before.
“Sophia-”
“Huh?” I didn’t know that I had closed my eyes and started daydreaming.
“Are you feeling sleepy?”
“Oh no! Not at all! I just uhm… I- I-”
“Let’s continue shall we?” He smirked. He probably thought I was lying but I wasn’t. If only he knew what I was thinking about. He wouldn’t hesitate to put it into practice right here and now.
“Of course.”
We continued to work and when we eventually finished, it was past 5 pm. He offered to take me home but I rejected.
“I just want to take you home Sophia, I wouldn’t do anything else. I promise.” He pleaded.
“I’m not going home, I’m going to Sean’s.” I told him and his face immediately turned red with jealousy.
“TO DO WHAT?” He barked. I even flinched a little.
“None of your business. Thank you for the jacket.” I gave it back to him.
He took it with anger. It was like someone just spoiled his mood. I didn’t like the way he switched up and let jealousy consume him in such a way. A real man wouldn’t behave so irrational.
“Goodnight.” I said before leaving his office . He didn’t even say it too, he was too busy drowning in resentment.
I went over to Sean’s with a taxi and rung the bell.
He opened the door and we kissed.
This was a real man.
