"What?" he blinked.
"Tell me, have you ever kissed a woman before?" she asked, breathing on his ear.
"Why are you asking me this?" he asked.
"Cos your lips look innocent, you haven't kiss a lady before right?" she smiled, bringing her face up to his face, she looked at him and he looked away.
"That's a yes" she laughed and released his hands.
She stood up from his body, and he slowly stood up from the couch.
She came closer and he shifted again,he slipped and almost fell on the couch again but she pulled him by his shirt.
"Are you nervous?" she teased.
"Do you know you look so when nagging and scolding me, should I start doing things to offend you more" she winked, and hugged him.
"Jenny" he called unknowingly, and she smiled, breaking the hug quickly.
"You gave me another name? So cute" she said and hugged him again.
Myles sighed, dropping his arms.
"I love your natural scent, it's more than any cologne" she said.
"Are you alright? Do you need a doctor?" he asked.
"Why?"
"You are acting weird, this isn't you, Jenny" he replied.
"You called me that again" she smiled.
"It was a mistake, python" he said, and gently broke the hug.
"Really?" she teased.
"I'm leaving" he said.
"Have a drink with me" she offered.
"You are working"
"Ten minutes won't hinder my work" she said.
"Ok, fine" he sighed.
She went to the fridge and removed a bottle of wine with two cups, she brought it back and sat on her chair.
"Sit" she said, and he slowly sat down.
She poured the wine into a cup and pushed it to his side. She poured her drink.
"A toast" she said, raising her cup. Myles brought his cup closer and they clinked glasses and started drinking.
"I'm sorry about last night" she said, looking at him.
"It's fine, but you should stay away from alcohol, that dude almost took advantage of your drunk state" he said, and she brought her face closer with a smirk playing on her lips.
"Is that the smell of jealousy?" she asked.
"Jealousy? What would I be jealous of when you are not even attractive" he said.
"Really?" she frowned.
"Like seriously?"
"Really" he smiled.
"Get out" she snapped.
"Ten minutes isn't over" he said.
"Get out" she said grimly.
He stood up and flashed a smile at her before leaving.
Jennifer scoffed.
"I'm not attractive, damn you Myles, bloody Anaconda" she said annoyingly. She sipped from her cup but she dropped it immediately, losing her appetite.
"F*ck him" she gnarled.
ADAMS CORPORATION*
Ceres walked into her office feeling very angry and bittered. She has just got back from another failed meeting with some Spanish investors.
"Why does everyone want Jennifer? What is so special about her" she said resentfully..
"She will be feeling like a god but I won't stop until I take her place, I won't stop till I see her downfall, I will make father proud"
Her secretary came in and dropped a file on the table.
"What is this?" she asked.
"You got a partnership deal from Morocco..."
"Is that not an African country?" she asked.
"Yes, but the company is...."
"I can't partner with an African company, reject the request" she interrupted.
"Boss.."
"Get out" she shouted at the secretary.
"I'm sorry" she took the file on the table and left the office.
"That's not the kind of company I want to partner with, Jennifer I'm coming for you" she said, and a call entered her phone immediately.
She looked at the phone, seeing the person's name she picked up.
"Why are you calling when you have no better news to tell me?" she snapped straight.
A sudden smile appeared on her face.
"Really? Let's meet up, I'm going to reward you with a hot session" she said happily, and hung up.
"Finally, watch and see as I start my revenge on you Jennifer" she said with a poisonous smirk.

In the meeting hall, a serious and heated conversation was going on as the staff and board members and directors argued among themselves.
Paige was listening to everything but she decided to keep quiet and listen to whatever everyone was saying.
It was all because of Everest quitting as the secretary, it brought a setback as the next bigger project was on his shoulder.
The board of directors leader named Maxwell faced Paige.
"President, we need to have that young man back if we want the success of this project, believe me if we carried out this project you will be ranking on the list of the most biggest and influential richest women in the universe, we can't do this because we didn't invent this idea, I haven't seen anyone in life as intelligent and brilliant like your ex secretary, you need to get this young man back" Maxwell said, and Paige sighed.
"I'm trying my best to get him back but it's not easy, Everest is not a soft person, he's hard to deal with but I'm still trying"
"You caused this, I heard you talk trash to him" Another board member said.
"Stop it Greg, this is not the time to start blaming anyone, let's work on what is on ground"
"This meeting is closed, I will get him back" she said, standing on her feet, she walked out of the meeting hall, and everyone started dispersing.
Paige got to her office and sat on her chair. She started thinking about what happened in the meeting hall. She may have tried to deny it but Everest's absence caused her a lot of setbacks. Maggie was good, she was very hardworking but there's absolutely no match for Everest. In fact no one will be like him.
"He's so hard and very stubborn" she said, touching her forehead.
She took her and went to her contact lists, she scrolled down to his number, she almost dialed it but she held herself back.
"He might not even pick, I should send a text instead" she muttered.

It's time for lunch, Newton was walking to the workers cafeteria when Michelin suddenly appeared, jumping on him from behind.
"Senior" she called cutely.
"Mich" he said, and she tickled him on the neck.
He started laughing.
"Stop that Mich" he said but she continued tickling him, and he continued laughing.
"Please Mich" he begged playfully, and she stopped.
She moved from his back and came to his front, acting cute.
"How are you?" he asked.
"Turning twenty this year" she replied with puppy eyes, holding her cheeks funnily.
"No wonder you act like a kid" he smiled.
"I'm not a kid, I will soon be twenty, just a few months" she defended, and he chuckled.
Sloane came out from another door, she was about to walk to the cafeteria when she saw them, she looked at them for a minute before leaving.
"I'm hungry, let's eat" she said, grabbing his hand.
He nodded and they started walking to the cafeteria.
"I didn't see Sloane, I want us to eat together" she said.
"I don't know where she is" he said.
"She doesn't really like me, I have been trying to be friends with her but she's not as active and jovial like you"
"Sloane has always been that way, she is a nice person, she doesn't hate you, she likes you, who won't like you? You are so cute and social" he said.
"Oh!" she pouted.
"Wait, you called me cute, aww!! senior Newton said I'm cute, I want to faint, I'm blushing" she said dramatically.
"Mich, I'm famished, I don't want to laugh" he said.
"I wish I recorded your speech" she winked and pulled him towards the cafeteria.
They got there with her still holding his hand, she was about to look for a table when she saw Sloane eating alone.
"There" she pointed, and he looked at where she was pointing to see Sloane.
"Let's join her" she said and before he could protest she was already taking him there.
They got to the table and Sloane look up.
"Here you are, can we join you?" she asked politely.
"Sure cutie" Sloane smiled.
"Aww!! Senior Newton called me cute and now you call me cutie, I'm blushing" she gushed happily, and Sloane turned to Newton, he looked her way that time, and their eyes met but they quickly looked away.
"Let's order something, I will get our orders" Michelin said.
"Spaghetti sausage" she said.
"Macaroni and eggs" he said, and she made disgusting faces.
"What?" he questioned.
"I hate macaroni, eew!!" she replied.
"I'm the one eating it, not you" he said.
"Fine, I will get em'" she stood up and left.
"Get juice too" he shouted but it was clear she didn't hear him.
"You can have mine" she said, and he looked at her.
"Oh! Thanks" he said.
There was silence between them till Michelin came back.
She dropped the orders on the table, and he looked surprised at her.
"You order coffee too?"
"Yeah, I love it, I drink it first before eating" she replied, and he shook his head.
She smiled and took the coffee, she brought it to her lips but it mistakenly fell from her hand, landing on her leg.
"Ahhhh!!" she shouted painfully as her leg started burning up.
"Are you okay?" Sloane quickly asked.
"I'm not fine" she shook her head with tears in her eyes. That spot turned red immediately.
He quickly took her leg.
"Damn!" he said.
"Let me get it treated, you can't walk, let me help you" he said and carried her into his arms.
"My food"
"You will eat it later, silly" he said, and turned to Sloane.
"I will get you her treated" he said, and she nodded. He walked away immediately.
Sloane dropped her spoon and let out a loud sigh.
THE ROYALS*
"Not attractive, really?" Jennifer hissed loudly and everyone in the meeting turned to her.
"Are you okay?" Kingsley asked, and she looked up.
"Yeah, everyone, write down your opinions and submit them to me" she said. She stood up and walked out.
Kingsley walked out, going after her. They walked side by side till they entered the office.
She went to her chair and sat down, she remembered Myles's words and hissed again.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Kingsley asked.
"I'm fine Kingsley" she replied, and he came closer.
"Haven't you thought about what I told you?" he asked.
"Do you really think it will work?" she asked.
"I'm very sure, you will become the first woman trillionaire, trust me" he replied with a smile.
"I think I got an idea, I'm working on it, I will work with your idea" she said and he smiled.
"Let's make this work, I will start getting everything set" he smiled and left the office.
"You are not attractive" those words kept ringing in her. "F*ck you Myles".

Sloane came home looking not too happy, and Everest came out of his room that time, looking so handsome in what he was wearing. He's going out to meet Paige. She called and asked him to meet up with her.
"Oh! Big sister, wait! Why are you looking like an eighteen year old girl that got heartbroken by her sweet boyfriend? Oh! Forgive me, I even forgot that you don't have a boyfriend" he said teasingly, and she shot him a glare.
"Out of my way" she snapped.
"Are you fine?" he asked, becoming serious.
"Just work and stress" she replied.
"I cooked, I'm going out see you later "
"Where are you going?" she asked, turning.
"Going out for dinner" he replied.
"With who? A lady?" she eyed him.
"Yes, my ex-boss" he replied and she smiled suspiciously.
"Should I be expecting a romance story?" she winked.
"You should be more concerned about creating your own romance story, single at 26" he mocked.
"Bastard!" she said and grabbed a stick but he ran out.
A DINNER PLACE*
Paige was already waiting in the private room she booked. She hates being in the spotlight sometimes, and people seeing her with him will start creating rumors for traffic so she booked a private dinner room.
She was feeling nervous, impatient and scared that he might decide not to show up. You can't predict him.
She kept looking at the time, moving her eyes to the door.
A waitress came in and bowed.
"He's here" she said.
"Let him in" Paige said.
The waitress bowed and walked out. A minute later, he came in and Paige looked up.
She couldn't look away from him for a minute, he wasn't dressed sophisticated or expensively but he was rocking in his hot designer.
"Everest" she smiled.
"You look good" he said and sat down.
"Thank you" she smiled.
The waitress came in again with a trolley, she pushed it in and stopped at the table.
She started offloading the meals, she placed everything on the table.
"Enjoy"she smiled and left.
"Let's eat" Paige said.
"We can't finish all of these" he said.
"Stop complaining and eat" she smiled.
"Fine, you are smiling too much" he uttered calmly.
"You don't like it?"
"No, go on" he replied and started eating.
"Everest" she called
"I know why you called me here, I will work for you again" he interrupted, and her eyes widened in excitement.
"Really?" she said happily, she quickly took his hand on the table.
"Thank you" she said, but no answer came from him. She looked at his face and saw him looking at where she was holding him. She quickly released his hand.
"I'm...just happy" she said and he nodded.
"Can we start off like adults now? I have been bad to you before but let's start new" she said, looking at him.
"Okay boss" he said and she chuckled.
They finished eating in just thirty minutes, and left the room, though many of the meals were left untouched.
She offered to drop him and he didn't argue. There was no unnecessary between them till they got to his place.
"Good night" she said.
"See you at work tomorrow" he said and came down.
He started walking in when Paige suddenly called out to him, and he looked back.
"Good dreams" she said.
He smiled and nodded before entering the house.
She entered her, driving away.

Jennifer came out with a straight face, she entered the car.
"Take me home" she said.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"I'm fine" she replied, and he started the car, driving out.
They got there after a few minutes and after parking the car. They came out.
"You are having dinner with me, I'm taking no rejection" she said straight, and he sighed.
"Ok, fine" he said and they went in.
"Wait for me, I will get change" she said and he nodded.
She went upstairs.
"Hi handsome driver" Monica came into the living room.
"What's up?" he smiled.
"I'm fine, where's she?" Monica asked.
"Upstairs" he replied, and she came closer.
"I told you to stop smiling, I don't want to fall for you" she said jokingly, and he chuckled.
"See you, I have something to do now" she said and ran away.
"Does she always run?" he muttered.
Jennifer came out of her bathroom after taking a quick shower, she was drying her hair when his words came to his mind.
"You are not attractive"
She stopped drying her hair and started thinking hard. She suddenly smiled and walked to the wardrobe.
She started looking for the sexiest gown to wear, and she settled for a short less transparent gown.
She smiled and doll up her face sharply, she wore the gown and packed her hair.
She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled before leaving the room.
She got downstairs and Myles looked up. He couldn't look away from her, her steps and the way she was walking.
He felt his throat run dry.
"Let's eat" she said, and he blinked.
"Okay" he said and stood up.
They walked to the dining room and the dinner was already set on the table.
He pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Myles" she called and he looked at her.
She walked to him and turned his chair around.
"What are you doing?" he blinked.
She placed her hands on the chair arms, looking at him.
His eyes fell on her chest, and he started trying to hold himself to look away but it was like something was holding him.
"Tell me, do I look attractive?" she asked.
He felt the nervousness again, and he started blinking.
"You don't find me attractive?" she asked, and he finally looked away from her chest, his eyes met her eyes and he swallowed hard.
