"Lady boss", This was the first time Donna had heard him address her in such a way.Donna turned around and wrapped one hand around his waist, and held his tie with the other hand.She pulled him closer and the only thing separating their lips were their breaths."I'll satisfy you however you want when we get to the office, it's a promise," Donna kissed him on the cheeks and then stood straight.She straightened her clothes and walked towards the huge mirror.Ivan was left speechless behind her, he had been anticipating more but who would have thought that she was only playing with him? She was teasing him!Ivan grabbed his car keys and they both headed out without having breakfast.The distance from Ivan's mansion to the office was like a thirty minutes drive."Wait! We can go in together, okay? Our relationship is supposed to be kept a secret so I'll just alight over here." Donna said, there was quite a distance from where they were to the office.Ivan frowned upon hearing her words
Rachel offered them an apologetic smile. She had just turned around when she noticed Elijah striding towards the elevator. As always, he didn't spare a glance for anyone, acting as if they didn't exist. Rachel sighed, resting her chin in her palm and stealing covert glances at him. Despite having access to a private elevator, Elijah always chose to use the public one.Suddenly, scenes from the previous day flooded Rachel's memory. She stumbled, her body swaying, but she managed to steady herself by grabbing onto the reception desk. She couldn't believe that she had actually kissed someone! Moreover, she had spoken to Elijah so candidly and confessed her feelings to him!Rachel looked up and realized that Elijah had already left. Despite everything that had transpired between them, was he still pretending not to notice her? Or was he simply accustomed to girls confessing their feelings in such a manner?Later, Rachel inquired about Donna from a co-worker and learned that Donna hadn't a
Rachel's face flushed as she recalled her words to him. "Sir... about whatever happened yesterday..." She seized the opportunity to apologize, nervously fiddling with her fingers as she spoke."Forget it," Elijah dismissed her with a wave of his hand, pocketing the other and walking away without a backward glance. He had told her to forget it, not wanting her to dwell on the incident and let it affect her mood. Moreover, he noticed that she seemed uncomfortable around him.However, Rachel interpreted his words differently. She felt as if he was implying that the incident was insignificant to him. Disheartened, she slumped back into her chair. Glancing at the time, she noted it was almost nine in the morning. Why hadn't Donna arrived yet?Lost in thought, Rachel was startled by a female voice. Looking up, she met the furious gaze of Emma, Elijah's former associate. Emma scrutinized the dark-skinned girl before her, unable to believe that the management had replaced her with such a pers
Rachel was about to head upstairs when she noticed Donna at the entrance."Brat!" Rachel rushed towards her with a smile."Hey, watch it!" Donna was taken aback by the sudden embrace."Where were you? You've never been this late. Were you smooching around with the boss?" Rachel rolled her eyes and chuckled."Hey, someone might hear you. Anyways, what's with all this excitement and smiles?" Donna noticed that her friend seemed to be in an extremely good mood, something she had never seen from Rachel before."Something unexpected but good just happened, girl! You won't believe this, but I've been promoted to being Elijah's associate!" Rachel was all smiles as she spoke."Really?" Donna replied, already aware of the news. She was a bit surprised, as she knew Rachel was supposed to move to Elijah's office the following week.It seemed like Rachel's feelings weren't one-sided, and a certain someone was impatient.Rachel noticed that Donna's reaction to her words didn't show any signs of su
Donna arrived at Ivan's office and was immediately pulled into an embrace from behind as she entered."Ivan," Donna removed his hand from around her waist. "What took you so long? I was really bored sitting here without you," Ivan pouted like a child.Donna had never seen Ivan look so cute and adorable, causing her lips to curl up into a smile. She moved closer to him and planted a kiss on his forehead.Meanwhile, on a nearby story building, stood an extremely young and handsome man. His eyes were fixed on Donna, having watched her ever since she alighted from Ivan's car. After a few minutes, he picked up his phone and dialed a number."Are you sure she's the one? She doesn't look anything like the others, and she's a real human too," the young man's eyes were on Donna as he spoke."She's really the one. It's going to take some time before her true self awakens," a female voice was heard from the other side of the phone."I'll keep my eyes on her for a while. If she's really the one,
Ivan listened to his father on the phone without saying a single word. "Son, you must remember. Vampires and werewolves are enemies. You, as a werewolf and a warlord, can never befriend a vampire," said his father in an extremely serious voice. "Okay," replied Ivan almost immediately. He didn't give a damn about vampires or anything of the sort. After speaking to his father for a while, they finally ended their call.Ivan had just taken a sip of coffee when he heard a familiar voice behind him. "Ivan," Donna had just woken up and was still half asleep. She hadn't seen Ivan by her side upon waking up and had rushed out in search of him. Upon seeing him, she muttered his name in a sleepy voice and approached him. She sat on his lap and rested her head on his chest; in the blink of an eye, she was already asleep.Rachel couldn't focus on arranging her things in her new office. She had been stealing glances at Elijah for more than an hour now. Elijah seemed to be working, but he actually
Elijah could remember exactly what had happened, and he himself was surprised by himself.This was the first time he had been able to sleep soundly in the presence of someone else. He was one who did not have difficulty falling asleep, but he could never fall asleep in the presence of someone else.Rachel was a bit nervous seeing how Elijah sat down quietly without saying anything after she had spoken. Was he angry? Did he doubt her? Or maybe... could it be that Elijah liked her too?Earlier on, he had wrapped his arms around her waist and asked her not to leave yet. What was the reason behind that?Rachel was lost in thought when she felt Elijah tap her. She snapped out of her thoughts and turned her eyes towards him."You splashed coffee over yourself, let me see your hands," said Elijah nonchalantly.Rachel nodded and stretched her hands towards him. Elijah took a look at her hand and noticed that a part of her palms had been burnt. He pulled out his drawer and took an ointment out
Rachel and Donna went out to a cafe not too far away so that they could speak comfortably."Tell me now, what happened?" Donna asked before ordering two cups of hot coffee."It's about Elijah. He...sob...he asked for coffee but I tripped and spilled it over him and fell onto his laps," Rachel said."Wow, that's so melodramatic," Donna interrupted with a smile.Rachel rolled her eyes and continued."So...I was standing up, but he wrapped his arms around me and told me not to stand up. Within the blink of an eye, he had fallen asleep on my shoulder. I was so shocked back then. He didn't seem sleepy at all, so why did he suddenly fall asleep on me? So many questions rushed through my mind. He woke up after about an hour, and I explained everything to him. He didn't say anything in response, so I was nervous and wondered what he was thinking about. He then took out an ointment from his drawer and asked for my hand. I stretched out my hand to him, and he applied the ointment on my hand.I
