The round table was stacked full and for the very first time, Leonard was finally going to see the family he would be serving. He might be rich, but his major aim was to punish those who would take his servitude for granted.The head of the round table, Mr. Alex stepped forward and had a smirk on his face. It was apparent that he was a man up to several mischief."I call you all here because as of now, our family has severed ties with the Ross corporation." While there were several murmurs amongst the members, Leo couldn't help but wonder what Ross had done for the family to break ties away from."Having laid that information out, today I want to introduce you all to our new chef." Mr. Alex signaled at him to step forward and the moment Leo came close to him, he pushed the lad away surprisingly. ,"I did say you should step forward, but I didn't say that you should come and rub me.." he said with disgust written all over his face."He will be our chef, they call him Leo and I want eve
Mr. Alex was engrossed in his paper, when he heard a knock on the door. He looked up to see Erasmus stomping his feet on the ground as he approached his direction."Why are you overworked Erasmus?" Alex asked."That new chef of yours is and idiot. He watched as Mia insulted me today and I think he must have poisoned her heart to make her act rude." Alex closed his book and looked at his brother for a second."Do you really think Mia would be silly to listen to that chef? I know Mia very well and I don't think she said any of that due to the chef's influence." He dragged a cup that was simply afar and placed it in his front."Mia has loud mouth and even though she gets silent most of the time, I cannot deny the fact that she can be rude." He pulled out a drink from the shelf and poured it into the cup."You don't have to worry about her anyways. I heard one of the suitors would soon arrive to request her hand in marriage and I cannot simply wait to give my blessings." Alex finished off
Mia was completely pissed staring at Alex and the rest of the family, who believed it was wise that I got married to the man seated here. "You know for someone who claims to own the bigfest technologies in this country, I believe your mouthstache says something else." The gasps amongst the family was audible and Mia noticed Erasmus fist folded in rage. "Mia, you would do well to hold your tongue, you cannot speak to our guest that way. That is absolutely stupid from you!" Alex cautioned. "Mr. Alex, it's obvious you haven't trained your daughter well...." Albert got up to his feet, adjusted his suit and it appeared that he would be leaving the room. "So I will help you train her." Mia didn't understand what he was saying, till he approached her and smack her heavily on the face. "What did you just do?" Mia asked favouring her face. "I did what your father should have done woman." He leaned close to Mia and placed his hands on her cheeks. "Listen to me young Mia, I am not like the
The brunette gave a loud keening cry, her second climax more sudden than the first. Then she promptly fell into a state of bliss that was accompanied by sleep at its heels. Leonard however, was alert, and he got up from the bed, his skin glistening with a sheen. Unbothered as he was, he prowled from the edge of the bed to the bathroom, jumping into the shower to rinse off the traces of sweat and sex on his body. Despite his leisurely pace however as he finished off, the gears in Leonard ’s mind were as always, constantly turning. Just as he was buttoning up his white shirt, there were two quick raps on the door. Leonard noticed the girl stir as he called for the person to enter, and he spared her a glance, her body exposed to the world for all to see. However he felt not a hint of empathy as one of his men walked in. The girl gasped in horror, and quickly fumbled for the covers in a long attempt to cover herself. Leonard paid her no attention, instead focusing on the man who gave
Her eyes opened swiftly as there was a bang loud in the air. Maria’s heart pounded in her chest as her vision focused and she came to the grim realization that there was a gun barrel pointed right in her face. “Get up,” she heard a gruff voice, and her eyes drifted to the owner of the hand that pointed the gun at her. It was a strange man that she had never met before. What was going on? She got up swiftly covering her chest with her bedsheet. She had been wearing only a rose colored satin nightgown to sleep. Maria’s eyes were fixed firmly on the man who was still aiming the gun at her. In her head lots of questions popped up that made her wonder if she had somehow entered the fucking twilight zone. Opening her mouth with the intent to ask the strange assailant what had brought this on, she jumped in fright as the man gestured to the door with the gun, circling her but thankfully keeping his distance. “Get walking now,” he ordered her and she scrambled to get her robe to at leas
About an hour after she had locked eyes with that mysterious, dangerous looking man from the warehouse, Maria now sat atop a bed, feeling uncertain of the direction her life was going to take. She recalled the last moments before she was carried out by the same men that had pointed guns at her and her brother, and took her to this room. She didn’t even know where she was. “Keep her until I come,” she had heard the man - the men’s boss? - ordering them. “And don’t touch her. Not one hair on her fucking head.” It had to be the boss, because he looked like no other man she had ever seen in her life before, and the strip club had given her a lot of experiences when it came to trusting her gut instinct. That man… was dangerous. A predator. As soon as she was summarily shoved into the room and heard the door lock, Maria had been feeling a great sense of numbness. She still had no idea what she was doing in this situation; were it not for her damned stupid brother who dealt with these s
“Alright, let me get this straight to be sure I understand. You're saying Mr Leonard asked if you would like to be a co-lead in the ongoing Gartrich Project? As in the same multimillion dollar project our company is working on alongside Rutledge Fay Inc., which took him several months to pull off?”“Keep it down, Tracy. Someone might hear you.” Matilda looked around, tucking a loose strand of hair behind the back of her ear. “Yeah, Gatrich project, the same one Broadway Enterprise, the company's major business rival showed interest in,” Matilda said with a shrug, fetching a can of fruit juice from the dispenser. “Ain't no way you'd be thinking about accepting the offer, girl! That's a big catch! Co-leading? One more word about thinking through the offer and I'm gonna whoop your ass really hard.”Matilda rolled her eyes, walking past a couple of chattering employees, greeting one of them, Cathy, the assistant of Gary Simon, head of the Personnel department who stopped in her tracks at
He didn't utter a word, neither did he let her go, even as they moved past a bunch of employees who nodded slightly to his presence before continuing their work. They crossed the hall leading to Leonard's office and he slammed the door shut the moment they got in, trapping her with his presence. The warm glow of the sun which seeped into Leonard's office from his floor to ceiling window must have added to the heat erupting from her body because she was almost at burning point and the air condition in his office did nothing to placate her emotions.He crossed over to his mahogany desk, leaning against it with his butt, before pulling her in front of him. Without breaking eye contact with her, he rolled up his sleeves deftly, revealing strong muscles— an evidence of his daily morning workouts. Her lips parted in astonishment to the sight before her, especially as his muscles flexed on reflex and she gulped, unable to tear her gaze off them. Warmth enveloped her and her never-endings st
