Before she could stop him from pulling her closer, Kyler leans in and caught her cherry gloss lips in a slow kiss which he stops almost immediately. Yasmin although was caught in surprise didn¡¯t try to stop his kiss and let her eyes rest on him after he stops the kiss and gulped He snap his drunken eyes opened and move again for another kiss but Yasmin put her hands out this time to stop him from the act, not someone to take a rejection, he shove her hands off and drag her closer ¡°President ck!¡± she called ¡°Do you know what you are doing right now?¡± she asked already feeling smitten by their face closeness ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing, I¡¯m not drunk¡± he affirmed He reach for her lips again and stare at it closely like he just found it, then he pull into her for another kiss with his hands stroking her ¡°You sure you won¡¯t regret this?¡± she asked again, pulling out.

She slowly give in to his demand and open her mouth to fully receive him, while she raise her hands subconsciously to caress his back, a familiar feelings seems toe to her and she moves a bit faster than she intended ¡°Their first night¡± she thought feeling familiar with every part of his body Because of that night she was fired and had to suffered together chance with anotherpany but now, being in his hands she feels waver as what it may result to afterward but she push the thought off and sp with him more, turning for a more sweet kiss. ~ Yasmin wasn¡¯t sure how they got into the car neither is she aware of the room they entered togetherst night but opening her eyes the next morning, she was cuddled in his arms which covers her up like duvet. Waking up in his arms feels like a dream she wishes not to wake up from, watching his bright skinned face makes her whole life seems fulfilled and Yasmin couldn¡¯t help a smile from the corner of her lips She stare unswerving at him and her smile grows as her stomach rose in remembrance ofst night, even if it¡¯s just this and nothing more else, she nt a light and quick kiss on his lips and then speedily close her eyes, pretending to be asleep just in case it wakes him up and it did. At the taste of the soft flesh on his, Kyler eyes opens in seconds and he looks confused at first as the room isn¡¯t his familiar abode but then he felt someone closer and gaze down at her. Yasmin waited impatiently to feel his movement but nothing came, she tried opening an eye to check if he¡¯s awake or not but she couldn¡¯t get a look and her curiosity had her opening her eyes wide to meet his gawking eyes. The time froze at that moment and she seems so flustered that her skin turned pale and her skin start to feel so hot that she looks ufortable ¡°Yasmin¡± he called out Not sure how to answer him, she could only stupidly nod her head and pray not to get thrown out of the room naked atleast she should be allow to put on her clothes and take her things with her. But he did theplete opposite of what she had thought, rather, he release his hands around her and push her back to the bed until he makes sure she wasfortable before he pull himself forward and rest carefully on top of her naked body. Feeling her face getting red from the contact of their bare bodies, Yasmin swallowed in a panicky state of mind, she ce her hands that suddenly looks like a child¡¯s fingers on his broad firm chest and could swear she almost pass out from the response as it seems too much for her body to bear. ¡°since this happens, I¡¯m going to go all the way¡± he whispered close to her left ears and then gave her earlobe a soft kiss before biting on it like a sweet candy he might not want to let go any time. ¡°Hum¡± That was the only word Yasmin could manage to let out of her lips before he locked their lips together and force her to let out a soft quick moan, when she tried to move her hands from his chest, he held it down like he was expecting her to want to resist and ce them back on his chest holding on to them as he continue the kiss with his mouth. Yasmin¡¯s body move slowly to the kiss and she let herself enjoy it without feeling nervous but rather excited which makes her reciprocate in her own way as she force her hands out of his hold and wrap them around his body quicker pushing deeper into the kiss making it a little faster than he intended Kyler open his eyes not stopping the kiss as the familiar scene came in a sh to him, it was the feeling and familiarity he felt the other night which had him losing his mind for days out of dissatisfaction and the strong desire which he fought hard to forget. Unlike their first time, she isn¡¯t drunk now and had aplete knowledge of her action, not wanting to miss the moment, she decide to go all the way and think about whatever consequences will followter. Kyler moves the kiss from the lips and drift his head down to her wrist giving her a quick bite on both wrists ¡°What¡¯s this perfume?¡± he asked gently raising his head and let his eyes settle on her ¡°Malus Pum¡± she answered a bit hesitant worried if it¡¯s putting him off ¡°It¡¯s the same as that night¡± he said more to himself and looks pleased Kissing her wrist again to let the scent pass through his nose made him feel ardor as he stares at her body, under his deep piercing stares, Yasmin could not help but feel a bit timid and she tried turning her face away from him but he grab her chin not giving her the chance to ¡°Don¡¯t turn away¡± he told her, he sounds annoyed but his face seems pleading. Yasmin slowly nodded and this time as he draw his face in to kiss her, she didn¡¯t hesitate to meet him half-way andplete the kiss. The kisssted like forever, they were both lost in satisfying the pleasure as the kissing became more intimacy and uncontroble, Yasmin couldn¡¯t contain her feelings and moans into his ear making him lose his cool and prates into her roughly and harder than he intended causing loud lyrical moans escaping her lips and he curb the sound with his mouth which keeps her locked up as they both exploit theirselves to the most satisfying pleasure.

Of course she has been working towards her goal but as she works further she realize the revenge she wanted isn¡¯t something as extreme as the one she¡¯s being asked to do, the years she had worked for ck empire wasn¡¯t a joke, she has spent her early youth working for the best of thepany and now she will have to turn everything into a ruin.

He No Longer Hates Her The sun shines brightly to tell Yasmin what a good day it will be, she took her time to dress up and settled down for mustard yellow coloured top and navy blue skirt to match. She check her time and realize she¡¯s going to bete if she doesn¡¯t hurry so she quickly grab her bag and head outside. When she got out, Mr. Bays¡¯ car was already waiting for her and she hop in happily for the free ride ¡°You always know when toe¡± she told him smiling gratefully Thompson smiles back and look her over carefully, she seems to be super-excited today, like something good happened, something which he doesn¡¯t know about ¡°Did something good happened? You¡¯ve been looking unhappy for days now that got me worried¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry for letting you worry but I¡¯m fine now¡± she assured with another smile Thompson nodded and decide not to ask for the reason, he will know soon enough, it¡¯s not like she can hide anything from him ¡°About the final proposal draft¡­¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll soon be done with it, do you want to see it before I submit to President ck?¡± Thompson took his eyes off the road for few seconds to stare at her trying to figure something out, she just referred to ck without the usual resentment ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Yasmin asked ¡°Please do that¡± he said and concentrate on the drive till she got to her destination Thompson turn the car back to the direction where they came from and speed off, in the matter of few minutes he got back to her apartment. He went to the door and unlock it like it isn¡¯t the first time, the door opens and he went directly in without looking suspicious. ~ Today is thest day Yasmin would have to work in ck corporation, when she first came back, she did not want to stay long, just do what she ought to do and then watch ck empire crushing after But now that it is about to be over, she doesn¡¯t feel as much happiness as she thought she would feel, rather she wish she could stay longer. Standing in front of the printing machine, Yasmin wish the papers wouldn¡¯te out that fast, maybe everything should just move a bit slower today ¡°Are you done?¡± ¡°Almost¡± She said and quickly pick up the papers to let the other person make use of it, after checking it over and confirming there isn¡¯t any mistake, she got up excitedly to head to President ck¡¯s office But just as she pick up the file to leave, she remember Mr. Bays asking her to show him the proposal before she submits and sat down back, the excitement reced with a mncholy countenance ¡°I could show him the draft first!¡¯ she suddenly thought few seconds after and jump up looking all excited again She check through the table and find one of the draft copies she had made just because, she puts a quick brush of lip-gloss and head for his office When she enter the spacious room, the familiar memory came to her and she could help but smile, the day when only both of them were the only person working in the room with no one else but just the two of them, by each other¡¯s side¡­ Those thoughts and moments alone filled her heart up and she continue falling and falling till she falls deeply in love with him ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Yasmin turn to answer the question when she saw it¡¯s one of thedies she had dinner with days¡¯ back, the one who seems like she harbors some hard feelings against her. ¡°Is President ck in?¡± ¡°What do you want to see him for?¡± Yasmin part her lips to answer the question but she cut her off ¡°Just give it to me, I will send it to him¡± she said and stretch out her hand to receive the file in her hands ¡°I prefer to give it to him myself¡± Yasmin resorted and walk towards the office, It¡¯s only been few months for her to forget his office anyway She knock on the door and came in after ascertain that he ask her toe in, she pull the door and enter the cozy room, it looks a much bigger on the inside as President ck is the one to always care about hisfort over every other thing ¡°mmm¡­this is the draft report for the list of the locations for the new businesses and the people chosen to head them¡± she stretch the report to him but he didn¡¯t take it so she drop it carefully on the table instead ~ Kyler hesitates before asking her toe in, he watch her take steps to him and stop, his eyes went over her dress and he look away before she catches him After listening to what she had to say, he pick up the report and go through it hastily, flipping through the pages without a proper look at it, when he¡¯s done he drop it and continue on what he was doing before she came in. ~ Yasmin wait a little bit for him to say something but he didn¡¯t raise his head to look at her after he dropped the file ¡°I wille back with the original file for you to sign¡± she said and walk out after turning back once. ~ ¡°Am I being ignored again?¡± Yasmin thought, a pang ran through her heart He clearly promised not to ignore her again, not only that but he affirm his love for her and said he will never leave her¡­is all that a joke? Just to get her to have sex with him? But he¡¯s not that horrible a person Filled with different troubled questions and thoughts, Yasmin didn¡¯t realize Talia was in front of her until she made to sit down on the chair and she got pull back aggressively ¡°What are you doing?¡± Talia asked sounding harsh. Yasmin who had regain herself look around herself and realize what she just did, she look back at Talia who seems infuriates staring dagger at her and standing in defense against her like she¡¯s some thief ¡°My bad, I must have lost myself for a while¡± she said and try tough it off ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s it, you look like you want this seat desperately¡± she said the air of defense still there. ¡°What? That¡¯s not¡­I got lost in my thoughts and just subconsciously came here¡± she said and turn to leave ¡°You¡¯re really a bitch Yasmin¡± Talia said and Yasmin stops sharply She turn back and close the few steps between them trying to not take her word to heart, she was original the owner of the seat and if anyone is a bitch that should be her ¡°And you are not one? You took my seat!¡± ¡°Why am I a bitch? You are the bitch who seduced a married man¡± Yasmin stare speechless for few seconds not sure how to reply back, her words are true after all and it seems like the realization of many things came to her at once President ck is already a married man and having feelings for another woman¡¯s husband is not right, but then she has had feelings for him way before he got married ¡°I¡¯m not a home-wrecker like you who is bent on having my ex-boss¡±This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°But it seems you¡¯re trying so hard to be like me¡± she strike back and walk away angrily ignoring every other stares. the rest in the office go to Talia who look teed off and try not to upset her further, they all heard the conversation between them and it looks like there words meant more than what was just said ¡°I heard President ck made everyone on her team to have a splendid dinner all because of her¡± ¡°Does he not hate her anymore?¡± ¡°I too thought he did, I mean he ordered that she shouldn¡¯t be allowed into his office ever again but he called Talia this morning to inform everyone that she should be permitted to¡± ¡°That sounds ridiculous seeing how she was embarrassed at President ck¡¯s party¡± ¡°I guess she¡¯s one of the desperate bitches who are obsessed with our Boss¡± ~ Kyler lifted his head when Talia entered in and handle the file over to her ¡°make me a copy¡± Talia nodded her head and took the report from him ¡°And also book dinner at an expensive hotel for the N-project team and also everyone in my office¡± ¡°Should I report back on Miss. Cassidy?¡± ¡°There is no need, I¡¯m going be there myself¡± Talia nodded her head and turn to leave the room but on her second thought she decide to ask the question bothering her ¡°President ck?¡± she called to get his attention, Kyler raise up his head again with a puckered brow to let her know she¡¯s disrupting ¡°I¡¯m sorry but¡­is Miss Cassidy no longer a burden?¡± she asked and bite her lips keyed up Kyler drop his pen not expecting the question, he look straightly at Talia who brought her face down too afraid to look at him ¡°she¡¯s still a burden¡­one I don¡¯t n to let go¡­¡± he wanted to say more but just gave a smile and focus back, Talia bow apologetic and leave the room in a slow pace. Is It Really Love? The door opens and Thompson puts down the silk handkerchief he¡¯s sniffing and look to see who came in, the young man in histe twenties entered the office and give a bow before handling a file to him. He open the file and brought the only paper inside, he have a look at it and drop it on his table, he pick up the handkerchief and had a long sniff on it ¡°What do you think? Is she cheating on me?¡± ¡°I did followed her and saw them together¡± Thompson close his eyes slowly trying to suppress the rage and he inhales the silk like it is some medicine to calm him down ¡°Do you want me to¡­?¡± ¡°No!¡± he cut off sharply ¡°Not now, I will im her back when it¡¯s time¡± he said and ask him to leave. Thompson pick up his phone after and dialed her phone number, he drops the silk handkerchief in the drawer safe as the phone rings ¡°Yasmin, can I get the contract file today?¡± he asked his eyes fixed on the paper on the table. ¡°Good, we can eat dinner together if you want¡± ¡°I wille pick you up¡± he said and cut the call. ~ Yasmin prepare to pack her things and check carefully not to leave anything behind, rather than the usual enthusiasm she started work with, she is more of distress and worries. The words Talia said to her are still roaming around her mind and just wouldn¡¯t clear off. ¡°An affair? Is she really having an affair with him?¡± Being a married man makes it an affair, Yasmin has never thought of this fact neither did it ur to her that she has been in love with someone else¡¯s husband all these years. ¡°I should have end my feelings for him when he got engaged¡± she thought feeling the guilt Or after he got married to his wife but she didn¡¯t think of it much then since she never dreamt of having a chance with him. But then they had this idental night together and even though she was so drunk, she remembered everything and another night together and things keep getting¡­ Yasmin stops as it feels like her head will explode if she continue to think, ming and trying to justify her feelings for him ¡°Am I really a bad bitch?¡± she asked throwing her head back on the chair feeling worse Everything feels like it¡¯s wrong all along and she can¡¯t seem to ce her thoughts in one ce, she should leave here as soon as possible then. ¡°It was foolish of me toe back here¡± Coming back, she has not only failed at her revenge but fall more in love with him andmitted an intentional affair, one she can¡¯t believe she doesn¡¯t feel guilty about, Yasmin can¡¯t believe she almost ruin another¡¯s home. ¡°President ck arranged a farewell dinner for you¡± Yasmin look up to see the rudedy, the one who almost stop her from going into his office ¡°Is he going to be there?¡± ¡°You want him there so you could try your cheap tricks again? Well sorry to disappoint you, Our Boss is a very busy person and won¡¯t have the leisure to attend some dinner¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure he¡¯s doing this out of courtesy anyway¡± she said and walk out.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this. Yasmin stare at the door that she just went through, she wonder what is up with thedy anyway, it¡¯s not her husband neither it is any of her business but she keepsing at her t every chance she gets Maybe she¡¯s another one who have a crush on President ck, Yasmin thought and chuckle, back then when she was his secretary, lot ofdies send flowers and cards to the office to confess their love and some begged in their cards to marry him Not onlydies from outside but lot of the female employees got closer to her, became friends with her just so they could have a chance with the Boss but all of them were rejected by him and at some point he almost fired her for taking the gifts. ¡°Dinner¡­¡± Yasmin remembers the n to eat dinner with Mr. Bays and pick up her phone to text him she won¡¯t be able to, immediately she drop the phone down, the phone rings and she pick it up again ¡°Now?¡± ¡°Okay, let meet at the burger shop nearby¡± she said and the call goes off Yasmin pick up the contract and made sure it is the right one before heading out, she has nned to give it to him during dinner before finally submitting it for signature. She gets to the burger shop in no time and saw him already there, she walk to him and sits down ¡°I¡¯m sorry for cancelling, we could have lunch together tomorrow¡± she suggested and Thompson nodded with a smile Yasmin also give a smile and hand the contract to him so he could have a look ¡°I¡¯ll go get us something to drink¡± she told him and got up to the counter. Thompson wait for her to get to the counter before pulling out the piece of paper he had prepared, he slip it carefully and make sure it fits in with the other papers while also watching Yasmin closely. When he was done, he put the contract back in ce and wait for the drinks ¡°After everything, I will take you away from him and make you mine forever Yasmin¡± he vows watching her walk to him with the cups of drink. ~ The farewell dinner is nothing like Yasmin thought it would be, there are a lot more people than she imagined and she¡¯s rarely familiar with them even the ones she knows, all of them seems to ignore her and chatters amongst themselves. Yasmin look across the table and try not to let her gaze rest on him, thedy who came to inform her of the dinner clearly told her the Boss will not be attending so she had thought dinner will be good atleast. But sitting and eating with him made her appetite worse, she doesn¡¯t even want to taste any of the delicious food passing around in front of her, it feels like she¡¯smitting another affair sitting with him and having dinner together even though others are there with them. Yasmin try to eat some shrimps but can only force herself to swallow it after it touches her tongue, she look around and everyone is enjoying this dinner except her and¡­ Her eyesnded on President ck and she caught him staring, she stares back instinctively and look away not having the courage to, maybe leaving the party will be the best thing to do but then again, it¡¯s a dinner for her it¡¯ll be rude for her to just leave ¡°Excuse me¡± she said barely hearing her own voice and went to the bathroom. Yasmin face the wall mirror and let out a breath she did not realize she has been keeping, it really felt suffocating out there, she felt like she was battling with all the people in there about being right or wrong. She brought out her lip gloss to put more and some powder for confidence, when she¡¯s done she wash her hands and was about to get out when someone open the door. At first Yasmin didn¡¯t bother to check whoever it is but hearing the unusual sound of shoes made her turn her head back ¡°What are you doing here?¡± she asked shock to see him. Kyler walk to her not answering her question, the more close he gets, Yasmin takes a foot back not sure what he is about to do, he grasp her before she could hit the mirror, didn¡¯t wait for her to get out of her shock before locking his lips on hers demandingly. Yasmin ce her hands on his chest in a bid to push him off but her legs grew weak as the kiss deepens and she reluctantly let go and give him to his demand, their lips went faster and faster and she couldn¡¯t catch her breathe in-between. He let go when he caught that and gave her another short kiss before Yasmin manage to push him off ¡°mmm¡­I want to tell you something¡± she struggle to say She is the one who got angry and ask him not to abandon her again and now she want them to have a rethink of things, it sounds so ridiculous after she had allow him have sex with her twice now ¡°We¡­might be doing a bad thing¡± ¡°I mean¡­this is an affair right?¡± ~ Kyler stare at the woman in front of her and he feels enthralled by just staring at her, at the dinner back then, he keep trying his best not to pay her attention but then he just couldn¡¯t stop himself and end up staring for so long When she murmurs and left the table, Kyler couldn¡¯t help but think about the pink small lips and the urge to kiss it. Struggling for a bit with himself, he made up his mind to risk whatever it is and followed after her into thedies bathroom. All the words that keeping out of her lips seems to be silent and the only thing he could see is her lips which keep pouting and opening as she speaks. Ignoring whatever she¡¯s saying, Kyler wrap his hands around her waistpletely and push her into one of the bathroom, he close the door after them and ignore her protest again as he press their lips together and enjoy the sweetness of her lips in his mouth ~ Yasmin try to talk him out but he doesn¡¯t seem to be paying any attention to her, when he grasp her waist she was startled at the intimacy but her body didn¡¯t resist it and when he pushes her to the bathroom, she could only wrap her hands up his neck and enjoy the moment. Cold Husband Veronica try not to make big deal out of her morning sickness, careful not to annoy Kyler, forgiving her infidelity was enough but then he also decide to ept the baby growing inside her as his own. After that incident, Veronica realize how much of a bitch she has been, giving herself an unreasonable reason to cheat on him. He is a good man and she¡¯s ready to make it up to him and at all cost end the rtionship with Conrad. She got up from the bed and check the time on her phone, it¡¯s past midnight and Kyler isn¡¯t back. Worried, she got down ignoring the tiredness she¡¯s feeling to phone him The phone rings at the other end but it cut off with no response, she tried again but still the same answer. Feeling impatient, she think to call Alex but the sound of Kyler¡¯s car made her stop and she smile in relieve. Even though he forgave her and didn¡¯t ask anything about the man she had been with, he seems to be avoiding her. Unlike before, he rarely talk with her, neither do he touch her and most times, he stay out sote. Veronica quickly put on a robe over the opence nightie she is wearing and rush downstairs to wee him she try not to hurry her steps on the stairs but just as she is about to reach thest stair her foot misses and she almost fall face t. Just in time Kyler swiftly caught her before the disaster could happen, Veronica wrap her hands around him and bury her face into his chest with her chest panting because of the shock. ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°No I¡¯m not¡± she shook her head as the idea pomp into her brain Kyler let her rest for few seconds and pull her hands out, he turn her around and let her rest on her side on his shoulder, he sighs and help her climb the stairs back to the room. He let her sit down on the bed and went into the shower immediately, Veronica¡¯s misty-eyed watch him in disbelief of his actions ¡°What was that?¡± she thought The cold shoulder he gave her was evident, Kyler know her more than anyone and when she said she¡¯s not okay, he knows all she wanted was to be carried in his arms up to the room for some cuddling ¡°Did he just¡­¡± she hit the bed hard feeling extremely upset. Is she supposed to take this cold treatment for forever? She understands not having sex because of the pregnancy but avoiding her is too much, why not just divorce her then? Veronica thought angrily and walk to the bathroom door, she listen to the sound of water pouring and decide to go in and give it all it takes if he¡¯s still the same Kyler she know, he definitely won¡¯t be able to resist her naked. She pull of everything on her and grin as she open the door, she walk slowly in to avoid getting notice by him, once she got under the warm shower with him, Veronica bent down and her two hands went down his legs ~ The second she touched him, Kyler open his eyes, her hands go slowly up his thigh passing her feelings to him. He feels himself getting hard and he groan as her hands went further roughly and caught him at the sensitive part, Kyler try not to moan and make his legs make the move to get out of her trap, he grab her hands before she caress it and pull her up weakly ¡°What are you doing?¡± he asked upset Veronica give a loud chuckle seeing how red his face is, she put her hands on her naked chest and watch his eyes follow after it ogling at her boobs.

He hate using his influence this way and would rather win or get things with his ability and capability But this is the fastest way to get what he wants and the easiest way too, he ask the chauffeur to ignite off while they wait. ~ Thompson lead her to the left corner of therge room where they could see outside through the transparent ss wall He pull out the chair for her and let her sitfortably before taking his seat and snap his fingers for the attendant ¡°Good afternoon sir, Good afternoon ma¡¯am¡± ¡°Afternoon¡± ¡°Wee to Romantic couples ce¡­ how should I help you today?¡± ¡°We want your specials, the signature dish¡± ¡°Okay, it will be ready in ten minutes¡± the waiter told them taking it down in his note padN?velDrama.Org holds this content. ¡°What type of wine do you want?¡± ¡°You can try Pinot noir, it is the best we have¡± ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll have that¡± Thompson replied with a smile and the waiter gave a little nod before exiting.

He take a elegant walk giving his aura of dominance fills the air as he takes his step. Yasmin couldn¡¯t take her eyes off him and have her gaze on him till he is standing in front of her, his over-powering body features hovers over hers. ¡°President ck?¡± She called in disbelief and surprise She ovee her surprise and let out a bright happy smile, she has not except to see him today or soon. Seeing him now in such an unexpected ce make her surprisingly happy and excited as she keep the bright smile forgetting totally about Mr. Bays who is infuriated by the surprise intruder. Do You Regret It? ¡°What are you doing here?¡± She asked Kyler look inquisitively at her for a long time and try to let his head do the questioning rather than his mouth. It will be ridiculous for him to ask her what she¡¯s doing right now¡­ with him But then he can help the feeling of jealous that keeps welling up in him seeing her together on a date with another man ¡°President ck?¡± Yasmin called again and chuckle lightly ¡°I need to see you Miss. Cassidy¡± he finally answered and swallow his breathe before he could let it out ¡°Oh¡­ what for? Is something wrong with the contract? I check it and made sure¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure there is nothing wrong with the contract Yasmin, i think he¡¯s just here¡­..¡± ¡°To talk about the contract there is a fault in it¡± he let out and inhales sharply Yasmin look at him and back at Mr. Bays, the look on both men¡¯s face seem a bit unfriendly which made her empty stomach grumbles loud ¡°Can whatever President ck want wait, we are on a¡­ Miss.

She stare at him hoping to read his intent but when her eyes meet his blue eyes it seems to arrest her senses and leave her staring dumbly at him ¡°She will ride with me¡± Yasmin hear his firm and authoritative voice say and snap out of whatever charm was just casted on her, she seem to have miss a sentence or two ¡°I am the one who brought her out today¡­.¡± ¡°I want to discuss something important and official and i might just talk about everything in the car and let you have your lunch together as you wish¡± he told him ¡°I think President ck is right, we can discuss whatever it is in his car¡± Yasmin said ruining Mr. Bays¡¯s attempt to talk again. She follow him to his car and nce at Mr Bays before entering into the car and the driver drives off. ~ ¡°She¡¯s here, now what?¡± Kyler thought having his eyes fixed on the ss window Many questions run through his mind and he try not to ask her and sound like a jealous unreasonable man who can¡¯t control himself. He turn to look at her and notice she is also nervous, feeling a little calm he decide to ask one question ¡°Did I interrupt your date with Mr. Bays?¡± He asked wanting to confirm if she was really on date with him ¡°That wasn¡¯t a date, he just want to have lunch together¡­ i cancelled on him the other day because of¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s good then¡± he said cutting her short ¡°Ermmm¡­ is that what you want to talk about?¡± ¡°If not?¡± ~ Yasmin nod her head and look away from him.

The ce seems a little too¡­ not where he would go on normal days to have lunch ¡°Can President ck dine in a ce like this?¡± Kyler look back at who seems to be his rival, he¡¯s not worthy of being his rival at all but then he¡¯s not going to lose to him today He take his seat at one of the tables and look up at him to tell him he can, Kyler watch him chuckle and that raises an infuriation in him ¡°You have go to the counter to make your order¡± he told him ¡°I will take our orders¡± she halfedly yell ~ They both look at her and lessen up a little, Yasmin ask what they both want and told them the menu already in her hand ¡°Anything¡± he heard him reluctantly say ¡°ck beans and rice sd¡± Yasmin nodded her head and go to make the orders for them. ~ ¡°Do you regret letting her go?¡± Thompson ask taking his seat opposite him He watch his infuriate eyes stare at him and he smirk seeing he¡¯s feeling the exact way he wanted him to ¡°No¡± he answered firmly ¡°I don¡¯t regret the decisions i make¡± ¡°So you don¡¯t want her back then?¡± ¡°I rarely give second chance Mr. Bays¡± he told him Thompson turn irritated hearing his answers, he was trying to rile him up but it looks like he¡¯s the one getting riled up instead ¡°I thought you have something special for my employee seeing you came to her house and also trailed us to the restaurant and put a scheme to ruin our date¡± he stated ~ ¡°Mr Bays must be mistaken about me¡± he said and ce his hand on hisps to calm down ¡°Then I must thank you for sending her to me¡± Kyler feel the urge to punch through his face again but Yasmin came with the tray of food for them and he quickly exhales deeply keeping his anger in check again She ce the food carefully in front of the them and take her seat to eat too. Not wanting to stay anymore, he thought of leaving but Mr. Bays phone rings and he watch him take the call without picking a cutlery The callsted for few seconds and Mr. Bays had a frown on his face as the call ended ¡°I¡¯m sorry i have to go, there¡¯s an emergency i have to take care of¡± he informed facing Yasmin ¡°Ohh okay¡± she said He had onest look at him before hurrying out of the door to his car and drive away ¡°I guess it¡¯s just the two of us then¡± she said in an awkward smile. There is an awkward silence between them again as Kyler have his eyes fix on her and Yasmin try to use her hand to lift her spoon without having it shake ¡°Let get out of here¡± he said in a deep distant voice and Yasmin almost drop the spoon ¡°You don¡¯t like this¡­¡± Kyler did not let her finish her statement when he got up and walk to the door, she reluctantly follow after him not feeling satisfied with the little she was able to eat. It is almost sunset and she hasn¡¯t had anything much to eat except filling her stomach with nervousness They get into the car again and the chauffeur ask him for where to go ¡°Just drive¡± he told him and he nodded immediately taking off. Silent return to the car and Yasmin can not help but feel she might have done something to him that has maybe upset him Or maybe Mr. Bays talk about something that got him upset since she saw them talking while she stands to get their foodN?velDrama.Org holds ? this. The drive went on for more than fifteen minutes without him saying a word but just stare ahead ¡°How did you meet Mr. Bays?¡± Yasmin turn to him after spending thest fifteen minutes trying to avoid looking at him ¡°He came to me after I got fired and offer me a job¡± ¡°How did he know you?¡± ¡°He told me he saw me at one of your parties¡± ¡°So he has ns to steal you before hand¡± he murmured angrily ¡°You guys have something going on?¡± He asked not realizing his words Yasmin look puzzled at his questions not knowing where all these ising from ¡°Boss and employee rtionship I guess¡± Kyler sighs after and ask the driver to stop the car then ask him to get off and wait outside ¡°Did I do something¡­¡± ¡°He said you are on a date with him¡± ¡°Who?

Yasmin feel like if she doesn¡¯t say something to calm him down he might get more angry than he already is, she hasn¡¯t thought much of his attitude all afternoon. It is not President ck way toe see you when he needed you, it¡¯s always the other way round and the res he was giving Mr. Bays, she seem to understand it well now It¡¯s because he thought they were on a date and got jealous¡­ but how did he know she was out with Mr. Bays anyway? ¡°President ck?

It¡¯s an indecent rtionship but she want to know what he thinks of her, them together doing these stuffs, is she just some girl he satisfy his lust with or does he have something for her? Kyler blink his eyes up and remove his hands from behind her and then put them round her waist and drag her to himself. Yasmin¡¯s body hit his muscr body and she gasps, his eyes stare at her and he make sure there is no space between them as she could feel his breathe and cologne ¡°Am I still a burden to you?¡± She asked trying not to flutter under his touch ¡°Yes¡± he said and lift her chin up to let their eyes meet ¡°A burden i want to be with, a burden I think I¡¯m willing to risk many things for¡± Yasmin¡¯s eyes move slowly reading his eyes and she could feel the sincerity in them and feel his slowly beating heart ¡°I have my head fill with the thoughts of you all day and I feel like I¡¯m losing my mind, just wanting to be with you all hour¡± he confess and exhale Kyler brought his lips close to her neck and sniff in her hair, he push her hair to the left to reveal her nape.

If this baby was never there maybe her marriage with Kyler won¡¯t be in the mess it is now, she could have just easily end things with Conrad like she did and continue her life. Thinking about how things turn and her being the one who is trapped make Veronica hate on the baby and think of getting rid of it whether it cost her life or not ¡°I can¡¯t even take my beauty treatments anymore¡± she grunt angrily and sit down on the bed. Even since the bad day happened, she hasn¡¯t been able to leave the house, she wasn¡¯t sure if Kyler didn¡¯t let her because he was insecure she would go back to the other man.

She dare not look back to check if this is really true for the fear that she might actually catch him staring Although it might be her wide imagination but it is better to y it safe than get caught staring instead. The angry face minutes ago still bothers her, he really do not want her here ¡°Yasmin?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± She turn to Mr. Bays who just call her name clueless about what was discussed ten seconds ago ¡°Do you don¡¯t want a drink?¡± He asked and Yasmin look at his hands to see two sses ¡°Of course I want¡± she said with a cool smile and take the ss with a thank you She try to concentrate on the talks and also try meeting the new partners alongside Mr. Bays ~ Alex tap him again for the sixth time to get his attention once more and the people in front of him knew it¡¯s time they leave ¡°We hope to talk more another time¡± Kyler ignore them and focus on the one person he has been staring at for the past twenty-five minutes He feels restless seeing them still close to each other and the other guys who keep trying to flirt with her at interval It seems like his precious toy being snatch away and yed with by others. ¡°You are not hoping to kill them with your res are you?¡± ¡°I wish I could¡± he murmured heatedly ¡°Is her presence bothering you? Should I ask her to leave?¡± ¡°What nonsense!

A ¡°Is he unable to take it? I hasn¡¯t even started yet¡± he thought. Soon after he carefully observe him leave and start to move close to them, Thompson try to concentrate back to the conversation but see him grab a ss of wine and walk to them He thought of what their trick could be and figure it out, it is a silly trick for someone like ck ~ Alex walk to the group having a chat and grab a ss of wine on his way Just as he approach Mr. Bays, he pretend to almost miss a step and the content in his ss almost poured Mr. Bays seems to already predict that and quickly step away from the spot to avoid getting his outfit damage But Alex gain his steps and manage not to get the drink spill, he quickly apologize to him for the little fortunate incident. Mr. Bays nod to affirm he¡¯s okay and turn back to Yasmin only to see her dress stained instead. ¡°What happened?¡± He asked wondering how that happened in the space of few seconds which he had lost his concentration One of thedies who was drunk mistakenly trip and the cake in her hands has fling away right at Yasmin, leaving a little creamy stain on the left chest of her dress.

When the guy reach out his hand and suddenly touch her ne and slightly brush her nape with the excuse of wanting to admire it She felt a little ufortable but thankfully Mr. Bays stopped his touch by pulling her closer. Yasmin take a look at the stain in the mirror as she pick up the tissue to clean it up, the stain remove easily leaving the spot almost as clean as before ¡°That will do¡± she thought and decide to moisten her lips before going back.

Then, Emilia had told her about Kyler treating his secretary kind of special like doing things he wouldn¡¯t normally do to others and always keeping her around. Veronica took it as a gossip of envy because Emilia wanted the position but she didn¡¯t ask for that though because she strongly believe once Yasmin was out of the picture, it would be her ce. Her job was to make sure both Yasmin and Kyler were drugged and taken to the same room that night, also she has been of help in her sneaking out to meet with Conrad Always giving her informations about Kyler about to leave the office for work so she could return back on time and not get caught. But when things went the wrong side, Veronica didn¡¯t contact her for a while not wanting to be linked to her and the cat let out She thought Kyler has fired his secretary because of what happened and although Emilia was unlucky not to get her wish, she never thought the same woman will still be around him ¡°You told me Kyler fired that Secretary, didnt he not?¡± ¡°Of course he did, i should have told this a long time ago but I felt it isn¡¯t necessary¡± ¡°That girl refuse to give up on President ck and came back on the pretense of working for anotherpany¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand¡± ¡°I clearly told you that girl has a crush on Boss and she has been shameless clinching on him even when he fired her¡± Veronica didn¡¯t say anything but think about what Emilia had said, when she told her the secretary likes Kyler then she thought it was jealousy talking and didn¡¯t read into it If it is really true thedy has some affection for Kyler and she let them have sex together, then¡­ ¡°How long has she been around?¡± ¡°Two months?¡± ¡°So she worked for my husband again after that incident?¡± She asked to confirm ¡°Yes, she finish the business about two weeks ago and while she worked in thepany there seemed to be something happening between her and Boss¡± she added ¡°Like what?¡± Veronica asked with a curious frowning face ¡°Boss ordered not o let her into his office and they even argue during meetings, butter he asked her to be allowed to his office and they seemed a bit close, he even treated us to a big dinner for her sake¡± ¡°I overheard Talia ¡®s conversation with him¡± Veronica definitely do not like her chatty nature bit hearing these things make her heart panic a bit, she has been so focused on her affair with Conrad and hasn¡¯t notice something as important as this Is it perhaps the reason why Kyler had ignore her in the past and now? Because he is actually cheating on her with his former secretary? That is not possible! Kyler ck that she knows will never stoop that low and do something like cheating But she simply can¡¯t just ignore the fact that the same woman is still lingering around her husband, she definitely caught the look on Kyler¡¯s face when she walked in and also how distracted he has been staring at her at intervals. She have to do something about her, there is no way she is taking anymore risk and if there is something really going on between the two, she will definitely destroy it.

If Kyler isn¡¯t getting his sexual desires satisfied with another woman then why isn¡¯t he having sex with her? Veronica put a call through to her secret detective and yell at him to get more information, this time on her husband and inform her about any woman around him Just as she drop the call, the door open and Kyler walk into the room She must have been so engaged in her phone call and did not notice his car drive in ¡°How was work today honey?¡± She asked putting on a smile and try to sound as sweet as possible But he reply her coldly with a nod and proceed to undo his tie, Veronica rush forward to him and grab it from his hand before he could untie it ¡°Let me help you with that¡± she offered keeping the smile on her face ¡°Don¡¯t bother¡± he try to wave her off but she insist and seed in losing the tie ¡°Are you going to be busy tonight again?¡± She asked ¡°No I have an early flight to catch tomorrow¡± ¡°What? Are you are just telling me about it?¡± ¡°How many days?¡± ¡°Four days, it¡¯s an unnned trip¡± Veronica didn¡¯t bother to offer her help again but go back to sit feeling upset about the stupid trip At this time in their marriage they are not supposed to be far from each other, that would only bring them much apart She need all the closeness and much intimacy as soon as possible, a four days trip now will only add more damage to their marriage ¡°Must you go on this trip? Can¡¯t your assistant or the vice-president go in your stead?¡± She asked but he keep quiet and give no reply ¡°Our marriage will be in danger if you keep doing this Kyler¡± she told him and that get his attention ¡°We are drifting apart from each other and any distance trip isn¡¯t going to help, I want to make us work again Kyler, please?¡± ¡°Give me another chance¡± she pleaded trying to be honest and go to hug him from behind She bury her face in his face and try to coax him with feeling down and sorry about everything If she could cry right now it would be perfect but her tears seem locked up as they won¡¯te out no matter how hard she blink her eyes When he didn¡¯t push her off, Veronica smile happily thinking maybe this would work so she clinch her arms around him tight ¡°I love you Kyler¡± she told him sweetly. After about fifteen seconds he unclench her hands and turn to her still holding her, which make her more excited ¡°The trip is an important one¡­¡± The smile disappear from Veronica¡¯s face instantly ¡°I need to go¡± What? Did he not hear her well? Their marriage which he values so much is on the verge of copsing and he still cares about some stupid unimportant trip? Did he not mean it when he said he has forgiven her and still want to make their marriage work again? Asking them to start all over and put the past behind them What kind of trip could be more important than their marriage and her? Or is he going to meet some woman rather than a business trip? The secretary? She is in another city now so that¡¯s possible ¡°Kyler¡­¡± She try to talk to convince him again ¡°Let talk when I get back¡± he wave it off and walk out of the room leaving Veronica in serious anger. Lost And Awkward He¡¯s regretting it! That night, it should have never happened. That was the cause of all his mess right now No matter how hard he try to bury himself in work, his mind can¡¯t just stop thinking about her, about everything The first time he had seen her was pretty memorable, he had returned from a sessful business trip and everyone was waiting for him outside the door to wee him As he got out of his car and walk into the line created, he notice a pair of blue eyes staring at him and stare back Kyler wasn¡¯t sure if it was the look that make her trip as she try moving back but he find himself catching her before she hits the ground He help her stand gently on her feet and bring her loose shoe to her feet, he look up and her eyes stares at him like a puppy looking to be cuddled Kyler wasn¡¯t sure why but he felt drawn to this worker and it take Alex quick tap to stop himself from asking for her name He try not to think much of it after then and put the thought of her behind his mind only for it to cone back again after few years One of the managers had made a grave mistake which almost cost a lot of money to be lose but she had step in and provide a solution right in the meeting room and caught his attention again. Her intuitive solution had saved the day and he decided to take a shoot and make her his new secretary. After the first awful start of working together, Kyler felt maybe he had made a mistake choosing her but she did much better than he had expected She was inquisitive, diligent and motivated, despite his high demanding nature she had managed to keep up after three months and endured his nasty temper Even when she had to spend nights in thepany working and days she had to go with him on an unnned trips and sacrifice all her vacations for work. Kyler wasn¡¯t sure back then but he has always guessed his little secretary has a crush on him. Her actions when she first started work with him shows it, she sometimes look lost staring at him when they work together with same puppy-looking eyes And although he has never admit it, he has always treated her a little different from others. He convince himself that if he could not reciprocate her feelings for him then he could almost be nice to her It also felt a bit strange then since he has never cared about other women having crushes on him but she might have been special. When he got married to Veronica, Kyler had caught the tears on her face on his wedding day and ignore it taking it as one of the many heartbroken women who desires him. Maybe if he hasn¡¯t been so narcissistic, he would have realized soon what he¡¯s realizingte now. ~ Yasmin never imagine getting confessed to and rejecting Mr. Bays would be this hard After she had rejected his offer to date him, Yasmin hasn¡¯t seen him She thought things might be awkward for few days and afterwards get better but she was wrong, He changedpletely towards her and she kind of me herself She clearly remember his pride being hurt after her words, after her vacation she tried apologizing to him but it seems he doesn¡¯t want her around Everyone in the office seem to notice it too and few asked if they had a lovers¡¯ fight, Yasmin find out about the rumors going around that she is dating with Mr. Bays She had no idea that is what everyone thinks of their rtionship, although she isn¡¯t sure what brought about such thought but she guessed others must have made such rumors because of how nice Mr. Bays has been to her Yasmin thought ignoring the rumors and Mr. Bays changed attitude will make things easier but it doesn¡¯t She even got scold at one of the meetings they had and was forced to start a contract application that took her three days all over. ~ As Yasmin type away she feel the need to visit the restroom but thought to finish the page in front of him before going The urge to go be more strong at a word she type and she rush out making a loud noise with her sandals.

He believed her then and thought maybe it was some plot by Thompson Bays using her or someone in hispany was ying a ridiculous prank, though he know it wasn¡¯t But he has tried not to think about it and pretend he never saw that The messages Bays has sent him state that Yasmin and himself had plotted against him as a revenge for treating them unfairly One of the messages was Yasmin¡¯s voice with his, talking bitterly about him and getting revenge on him at all cost ¡°Since I want her now, she¡¯s back to being mine and not yours anymore¡± Kyler walk in a rather slow pace afraid as to what he would see when he opens the door and the more he thinks, the more anxious he be. ~ Yasmin couldn¡¯t help her anger as she take off her clothes in the bathroom She find it hard to believe any of Mr. Bays¡¯ words How can she just fall unconscious when there is nothing wrong with her, and the story of an attendant pouring dirty liquid over her identally sounds like cock and bull¡¯s tale She has check herself several times to see if he mess up with her body but find nothing Yasmin is still scared of the fact that he is that person who put a knife at her throat but she is furious to know he brought her to a hotel. He probably pour some thing on her clothes so he could find an excuse to get perverted with her body but fail when she open her eyes. After getting the clothes off her body she look around for the clothes he has put in the bathroom for her but find nothing ¡°Did he trick me?¡± Yasmin wondered seriously looking for something to wear She has thrown her clothes into the water to let the stain fall off because of the material and now it seems she is stuck. ¡°That psycho¡± she cuss silently feeling really enraged Yasmin open the bathroom slowly careful not to show herself, she clear her throat to get his attention ¡°I can¡¯t find the clothes you left me in the bathroom¡± she told him trying to sound as patient as she could be ¡°Really?

The car stop in front of the house and Yasmin get down from it Just as the car drive away and she turn to walk further to the door, someone grab her and she had barely no time to resist ¡°Shhh!¡± Yasmin realize it¡¯s Mr. Bays and immediately went silent out of fear, she feel her body trembling under him ~ After two hours Alex brought back the report on what he had find on Emilia Ronin and submit it to Kyler. Kyler y the voice note he has added to the report and is a bit shock to know his guess was right What happened that night was not an ident like he thought it to be, it was a nned. But why would Veronica let him sleep with his secretary? For what? ¡°Did she mention that Yasmin also know about it?¡± ¡°ording to Miss. Ronin, No she is a victim just like you¡± Kyler nod his head realizing another mistake of his again He has clearly used her of seducing him and get in bed with him just like other women he has met But that is in the past now, they no longer have anything to do with each other again ¡°Should I get her arrested for purchasing an illegal drug?¡± ¡°No¡± Kyler sharply reply ¡°Then everyone will find out my wife is involve, it will cause little trouble¡± ¡°So I should let her be?¡± ¡°Just fire her¡± Alex nod his head and look at him to make sure he¡¯s alright ¡°I will be leaving early today¡± he informed before Alex walk out of the office Doubts Kyler¡¯s mind be more disrupt learning that Veronica really nned it out He still couldn¡¯t figure out her motive and decide to give a long thought.

The only reason exnation to give to his absurdity is that and as absurd as his thought sounds, Kyler feel like he is right too again Taking a slow rethink of Everything Veronica had told him, most of it feels like bull shit now None of it makes sense enough for her to cheat on him with his cousin. Although these realizations came to him, he didn¡¯t feel a slight sad, maybe because he has never believe her exnations but only acted for his own advantage. Kyler decide to carry out an investigation about the whole thing, if Veronica had drugged him so he could sleep with Yasmin, what is the reason? Or did it just identally happen to be her? He already have a lead so he started from there and force Emilia to tell him everything she knows about what and why his wife had met with her There he find out who introduced Emilia to the drugs and it caught Kyler quite unexpected. The person is not an unfamiliar person, Thompson Bays. Although Kyler had his suspicious about him and wouldn¡¯t have worked with him if not for the good proposal hispany submitted But this finding only bring another difficult questions to his mind If Thompson Bays has also purchased this same drug, why? Then is Yasmin aware of him getting the drugs?

She thought she has been careful enough Should she admit to her wrongs and beg for his forgiveness now? She wondered but thought against it Not with his present mood that is ready to strangle her to death ¡°Kyler¡­¡± She shut her mouth and swallow down a lump short of words to say ¡°What else have you done that I haven¡¯t find out?¡±From N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Nothing at all, Look I never meant to hurt you Kyler, I¡­¡± ¡°I have nothing more to say to you¡± he said and give a low exhale ¡°Sign the divorce papers!¡± The words ring twice in Veronica¡¯s head and she quickly get up on her feet He want to seize this opportunity to divorce her now, what wrong has she done anyway?
