HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 27Scarlet tapped gently on the door and opened it. She had gone to get Xavier some coffee. She placed them gently on the table.“How can you drink two cups of coffee? Too much caffeine isn’t healthy you know?” Scarlet teased.“I’ll need a lot of it today. We have a meeting with silicon housing. Mr Peter has sent in the project and his plans. We need to meet up and decide how best to go about the project.”Scarlet rolled her eyes in exasperation. “So we’re meeting with Leah grit. This is going to be a long meeting.”“It seems you don’t like her very much. Do you know her?” Xavier asked.“We went to college together. We were roommates. Let’s just say it wasn’t a great experience living with her.”Xavier sat up and crossed one leg over the other, his interest piqued. “Really?

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 28"I've told you already Leah, I'm not interested in you." Antonio said.Leah was shocked. He wasn't interested in her? Everyone was interested in her. She was the one everyone turned to. Why was Antonio different?She stammered for a response and before she could speak, he cut her off."Leah. You're very beautiful, but it's not enough. I want something more than that.""I don't see why that's necessary," Leah replied nervously."For me it is. I want someone who is smart, intelligent, thoughtful, generous. The kind of woman that would make me and your mom proud.""I am those things.""You're good, Leah, but not great."Leah found herself speechless, though she was not scared.Just then, Scarlet walked by and Leah noticed how Antonio's eyes lit up at the sight of her. She shivered when his eyes traveled down her petite frame. "Scarlet," he said, hoping to get her attention. " I gotta go." He said, running off to Scarlet, leaving Leah standing there, confused,

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 29Xavier had something over Simmonshead, so despite the fact that he loathed Xavier, he dared not confront Xavier head-on.He could speak to Verity, and expose his treachery, and that would mean being publicly defamed."My track record for managing teams is on par with others on the list, and I consistently perform among the top senior managers. Vice President Xavier, are you still angry with me for what transpired previously? And if you are, I would appreciate your sharing that emotion, and understanding, with me. And yes, if you do have anger towards me, I would also appreciate knowing that, because I can't help but think you're doing this out of anger"Simmons appeared to be a little unhappy.Xavier giggled while lowering his eyes. "No, I don't bear a grudge against you, but I do recall that before to this, you weren't interested in working with J&K. I just worry that it may hinder our ability to work together.""I'll follow the company's decision, as you

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 30Xavier was in no way pleased that Leah was made to oversee the project. Yes, he would enjoy using her to make Scarlet feel uncomfortable (he didn't know why he enjoyed that) but the whole vibes he was getting from Leah in general did not leave much room for happiness. "How annoying." He muttered to himself."I'll hang up now dad. I still have a lot to do." He said in a dull tone."Yeah, that's fine. Do be careful though. I don't want you getting hurt.""I'll be fine dad." He replied calmly."Good. Bye." Xavier heard his dad hang up.He sighed and relaxed on his seat. There was a slight knock on the door and Scarlet came in.Xavier's eyes roamed her body In a quick glance . Her long brown hair brushed the small of her back, and even though she was wearing nothing but a silver coat and jeans, she still had that naughty vibe. He frowned at that, and took a few moments to regather his thoughts."May I?" She asked."What is it Scarlet?"'such a grumpy bear' she

I was just doing some background reading. What's up?""Nothing much. I just wanted to thank you for the other day. I don't know what would have happened if you didn't help me out.""It's cool. Anyone would have come to help when they see a beautiful woman in distress. It was nothing special, I just followed my gut."Leah felt her head swell. Did he just call her beautiful? Bubbles of warmth and gidd

Never had a wona affected him so but the fact that he was having sensual dreams about her meant that this woman was slowly eating into his heart.He didn't like that she was affecting him so deeply.When she smiled at him a pang of something went through him.He mumbled, lowering his eyes. "What is it?" His voice was low and oozing sex. It was if the emotions he was feeling transferred to her because the moment scarlet heard his voice, a tingling sensation rose up in the pit of her stomach and made her stomach turn.
