It was finally the day of Natasha's birthday party, a party which even though was paraded as a birthday party was actually a party meant to gather elites together.The hall had been decorated extravagantly which was what was expected of a big party which was meant for that sole purpose.Natasha had a straight face as her limousine pulled up in front of the venue. She looked through the window at all the glamor and splendor that had been poured out into the venue like there was a very important event going on there.It was indeed an important event, but for her parents and the company, not her.Natasha didn't realize she had been sitting at a spot in her car and staring through the window until her driver came over to the side of her window."Ma'am, I think it's time to go in, everyone is probably waiting for the celebrant by now." The driver said and Natasha rolled her eyes before she got down from the car.As soon as she came down, she looked around the environment and let out a deep
Henry's eyes met Natasha's as soon as he stepped his foot into the hall where her birthday was held, she said standing close to her mom and discussing with a man whom Henry presumed would be his business associate. He could not help but notice her dress and how beautiful she looked.She had on a red strapless dress that flowed all the way to her feet, masking her shoes. The dress was so tight that it clung onto her body and showed her curves in the right places. Her hair was tied beautifully into a smooth ponytail and she had on a light makeup that accentuated her look.Henry swallowed hard as he began to wonder how one person could be this beautiful. If only she wasn't as rude as she was though.Henry however, could not help but notice that she was not all smiley or even happy like a birthday girl should be, instead she had a slight frown on her face like she was being punished and forced to be there. Of course, she was unhappy. Henry remembered the conversation they had on the night
Linda walked out of her room and met her family, discussing and laughing happily. Mary was there, too. She was seated beside Catherine on a couch, while James was seated on the other couch that faced them. Linda stood by the stairs watching them. There was something about the way they were laughing so excitedly. Mary seemed to be telling them about something that happened in their neighborhood, and they were all engrossed in it, and they didn't notice that someone else had joined them. "The way he stood there staring at her as though his whole life depended on it with his mouth open widely. Then, the next minute, we saw him begging the woman who offended him and had come there to ask for his forgiveness." Mary paused for a while and had a good laugh. "I'm sorry for making you cheat on me, I'm sorry for making you hurt me..."By this time, Catherine and James were already on the floor laughing so loudly. "I'm sure you both know that those were not his exact words, but at least th
It's been like two days after Natasha's birthday party and Henry still found himself unable to stop thinking about her. Whenever he was about to concentrate on his work, he managed to find himself thinking about her. He just couldn't get the image of Natasha's face off his mind.The thought of how she had looked in her birthday dress had refused to leave his head and had left him in stitches ever since two nights ago. He could not help but wonder why he had been thinking about her so much. It was certainly not that he was in love with her, right? He didn't have feelings for her, right?Then why did he go out of his way to get her such a gift for her birthday in order to impress her?Henry slapped himself on his forehead.There was no freaking way he was trying to impress her, of course not. How could he even think that way?The only reason he gave her that gift was because he felt bad for her. The way she had spoken so emotionally about how her birthdays were never about her and how s
Natasha must have woken up from the good side of the bed that morning because she seemed exceptionally in a good mood.Especially as one of the first things her eyes caught was the teddy bear sitting by her bed. It had been among the birthday packages Henry had sent to her and she could not help but blush at the thought of it. She could not help but wonder what could have inspired him to give her those gifts.As Natasha got out of bed, she had a slight smile on her face, then she remembered that she had not gotten the chance to thank Henry properly for the gift after her birthday party.She knew she had thanked him at the party, but she didn't think that was enough. She made up her mind that she would find the time to do it.This was the third day after her birthday party and she had taken a very short break from going to the office with the approval of her parents. She could hardly describe it as taking a break from work since she was still working from home. But it felt good to not
Linda and Mary strolled around the mall as they picked clothes for Linda. Mary saw something alluring and grabbed it immediately. "Linda, come over!" She called out with a smile. Linda rushed towards Mary. She met Mary holding up a long gown with a very long slit on front and no arms. "What the fuck is this?" Linda asked as she stared at the boob part of the dress. It was very low. She knew it would barely cover her boobs. "I'll only be able to wear this to dates and night parties. I can not wear this to visit Henry randomly or even go to his office."Mary frowned deeply. She was tired of having her friend behave like she was a child. "You are not underage for god sake!" Mary slapped her forehead. She pulled Linda forcefully into the dressing room and made her wear the dress. It was perfect for Linda. Her hips and every other curve were very visible. Linda stared down at her boobs, and just as she thought, it was barely covered. The slit was up to her thigh, and it revealed a
"If I notice for one that you are doing something else, Ava," Benedict threatened. Ava hissed. Shs stood up to her feet and walked towards his table. They were both seated in his study. While he was behind the table, she sat on the couch there listening to him speak. There was a bowl in front of Benedict, and there were two apples in the bowl. Ava picked one of the apples and walked back to the couch. Shs settled back on the couch, and bit from the apple, and faced Mr Benedict again. "What makes you think I'm doing something else? Why can't you just trust me?" She questioned. Benedict stood up from the chair. He felt like the table in front of him was blocking him from Ava. He grabbed the chair after the table and pulled it towards the couch. He sat on it and faced her. "Are you really not doing something else?" He asked and grabbed Ava by her jaw. She slapped his hands off. "I wouldn't be here if I'd decided to breach the agreement," Ava told Benedict. "I don't know why you s
Henry's eyes widened as soon as his eyes met with that of Natasha whose eyes were equally a bit lowered at the sight of him.What was she doing in his house? Why did she come here?Natasha's presence in Henry's house was so worrisome to him and he couldn't stop questioning why she was there. But more worrisome to him was the fact that his heart couldn't stop beating fast at the sight of her. He was sure it was not fear, neither was it anger. But why was he feeling that way at the sight of her? Henry hated the idea that was coming into his head and he immediately brushed it off.'Why are you here?' Henry wanted to ask but he immediately got rid of the thought. He knew it would be rude to ask that so he remained quiet instead."Uhmm... Are you here to see my mother?" Henry asked, struggling to keep his voice steady."No, I'm here for you." Natasha said, wearing an anxious smile on her face.Henry swallowed hard and dismissed the maid who was standing there.He raised his eyebrows while
