There was more he needed to do to ensure her safety. He could not always be with her to ensure her safety so he devised a plan to make sure, no matter where she was, his queen was protected, and he would be a little at ease.They both went to bed, but Damien stayed up. He had an idea and needed to find a way to execute it. He eventually got a way and gently laid Joanna at his side so he could stand up. He began dialing as he left the bedroom. The moment the person on the other side picked up, he spoke, “I need you to find someone for me” He told his assistant.He had met someone while he worked for Joanna. They were both bodyguards at the time, but then he got laid off. Damien could not help him at the time because he was also a bodyguard and was living off Joanna, but now he thought he could help him while he helped himself too. He needed someone to be with Joanna at most times of the day without a break. It was a tough job, but if he was not ready to take it, then he was going to
“How do I look?” Joanna twirled before Damien, whose eyes glided from her face to the hem of her dress.Joanna was more than beautiful in a sight. No matter what she wore she always looked extremely beautiful. He did not mind if her hair wasn't combed or if she wore sweatpants and a big T-shirt. She was beautiful. With a grin on his face, he walked closer to her then wrapped his hand around her waist. “Why aren't part of the models we would be looking at today?” he asked and Joanna shook her head with a blush“Because I'm not a model” she replied and Damien raised s brow“Who said you were not? You are my model which is good as I will be the only one to look at you as long as I wanted” he said and Joanna blushed.Between his sexy voice and his compliments, she could fall a million times for him. Joanna glanced at the time, then turned to him. “We need to leave before we miss the entire event” Joanna said, quickly pulling away from Damien and rushing over to complete her dressing. “R
Damien at that very moment knew what was going on. For his assistant to call him in quickly, something must have happened. At this time, he needed to be very attentive when it came to the company. The people who were planning on bringing down had not been eliminated yet. So everything the company was trying to do, or he was trying to do, needed to be watched 24/7. Yes, he could not do it himself, but he has signed someone to do so.His assistant was just to go there and ensure everything was in order. So him saying there's an emergency means something has happened. Damien quickly sent a text to Gray before hopping into his car.“Factory” was the only thing he said to the driver, and immediately the engine was turned on. In minutes they were approaching the factory. Just by looking at it from afar, the main could already tell what had gone wrong. His heart was pounding in his chest because he knew how much effort he put into the factory.The board members had thought he was not going
Damien worked into the office with a stern expression on his face. Every staff knew not to mess with him at this very moment or else they stand a chance to get fired.Just by mere looking at him, they knew something was up. Those who feared and did not fear him before now did. He was in no mood to play with anyone. Even Joanna tried to cheer him up, but he was really upset. She only successfully cheered him up when she was around. But from the moment he stepped out of the house heading for the office, the frown he had kept aside reappeared. Most people thought Damien was soft, but he was not.Yes, for a while he has been away from the business, but that does not mean he does not know how to play his cards very well. Those men thought they could mess with him but failed to understand that he got some traits from his father and he was going to utilize it very well. The meeting was scheduled for one o'clock, so for now, he was in his office attending to other documentation. He took up
Mr. Blue knew he had made a big mistake. He needed this job. Unfortunately, he did not have much going on in his life, which was all the more reason he wanted to be the CEO of the company. It has been his dream.He glanced around the room. Hoping that someone would stand up for him. They could not really side with Damien, who they had only known for two weeks over him they had known for years, right? They could not just abandon him, right?He glanced at the only man on the board who had defended him moments ago, but the man quickly averted his gaze. Mr Blue just got fired, and he did not want to also get fired. He needed the job. Damien just proved to them he would work hard and far to get all of them to act right.He was not his father who would keep them because they were of value. Now there were people who would readily take their position and were more competent than them, even though they lack the experience. Mr Blue, seeing that no one was going to stand up for him, stood up.“Y
Joanna and Damien snapped their heads to the door, with their eyes wide. Eliza's eyes matched with theirs before turning around. “I'm so sorry. Sorry,” she said as she walked out the door, shutting it behind her.Joanna turned to Damien, and Damien tried to kiss her again. “Damien” she called out to him with a tease“What?” he acted as though he did not know what she was talking about and still tried to kiss herJoanna tried to stand, but he held her down. “Just one more,” Damien pleaded. Joanna smiled before kissing him. They were about to sink in when Joanna quickly got up.“Eliza would be waiting outside,” Joanna said, unable to contain her smileJoanna adjusted her dress, and so did Damien for his suit. “You can come in now, Eliza,” Damien said once Joanna was seated across from the table with her legs crossedEliza opened the door slowly, poking her head into the office and darting her eyes around. She wanted to be sure that nothing was going on inside the office anymore. She had
Damien frowned. Why would his mother so readily want to give Joanna her ring? It was hers. He still remembered how she was when it came to this ring of hers. She cherished it and rarely allowed anyone to touch it if that person was not his father.“But it's yours. Joanna would need to keep it after” Damien tried to reason with his mother, but she seemed not to mind. She smiled.“I do not mind if she takes it. I actually want her to. It's an Alfredo heirloom. Your father's mother gave it to me after our engagement ceremony, but I don't want that for Joanna. I want you to propose to her with this,” Mrs. Alfredo said. Damien nodded, understanding what his mother had planned. However, he shut the box, then handed the box back to his mother with a smile. Mrs. Alfredo looked shocked at this. “You don't want to use it?” she asked, sounding upset.“I really want you to,” Mrs Alfredo added “Mum, I know, but not right now. I cannot propose to Joanna right now. But I will. Once I am ready, I w
Joanna stayed home for a few hours without doing anything. There was nothing work-related that she could do either, so she was just bored at home. She tried to watch a few movies and series, but it did not keep her mind occupied. For some strange reason, she felt really restless and could not pinpoint where the problem was coming from. She sent a message to Damien, and all seemed well from his side. She even called her father, asking him if everything was okay and he was a hundred percent positive that everything was okay. It troubled her a lot and after being bored and restless for a very long time; she called her friend Sarah. Sarah was more than happy to hear from her and even invited her to come over to her studio. Joanna quickly obliged, as it was a way to get out of the house. The bodyguard which Damien had put in place tried to follow her but she stopped him as she did not want to have him following her. She was fine and certainly; she wasn't going anywhere that would seem u
