?Episode 25?

Bryce’s POV:

I sat down on my b.ed with Zen sitting on the couch, her eyes focused on her phone.

I just can’t seems to understand this woman.

She has been gone for good four months and few weeks but she came back just to bury her eyes and attention on her phone?

I sigh and closed my eyes.

“Sweetheart.” I called, she slowly look up and smiled. Almost immediately her attention went back again to her phone.

“Just fking drop that phone for a second, will you?” I snapped at her. She looked up almost instantly.

Her eyes growing cold.

“What is it Bryce, I’m tired and this is important.” She said pointing at her phone.

I chuckled sardonically and closed my eyes.

Her phone is important than her husband.

I thought it should be the other way round.

I just can’t seems to understand this woman.

“Zen, I want you to quit your modeling job. I can buy a fashion company for you and you control models. Please.” I begged. I love this woman, but sometimes I just don’t understand her at all.

I’m trying to understand her.

“Bryce we have talked about this haven’t we?” She dropped her phone on the couch and walk towards me.

I guess I know what’s gon’ happen next.

She smile se.ductively like a sxy se.ductress that she was and str@ddle me.

“You always try to distract me from this topic.” I groaned as she started rolling her hip.

She is my wife, ofcourse I’m ob$essed with her b0dy.

“I miss you.” She whispered and sck on my earlobe.

“Hum.” I grabbed her w@ist and squ.eezed it tightly.

“Fk, take me Bryce. I miss your dk.” She said and slammed her l!ps on me, a sigh escaped my l!ps and I shook my head.

How I turn from being serious to her puppet.

I’m whipped.

Penny’s POV:

It has been two months now since I started working at King’s conglomerate.

Since Mrs King came back, I Haven’t being seeing much of Bryce.

Though i have decided to let go of any feelings I havld for him, it wasn’t healthy for both of us.

I got myself a nanny.I wouldn’t want to cause trouble for Faith.

The nanny took care of Chris when am at work and leave when.I return.

The company will be having their annual end of the year ball tonight and I’m so nervous.

I’ll be around many high classed people and it is making me so freaked out.

My father was rich, but beside someone Like King we’re considered as the middle class type.

He is high class.

I rubbed the back of my hand on my eyes and glanced at my desk clock.

Few more hours to the ball.

It was time for lunch so I stood up from my chair, closed my laptop and picked my wallet then walk out of the office.

I waited for the elevator to open and I walk in.

There was just one person inside the elevator.

He was wearing a hoodie.

Of all places, who will wear a hoodie inside a big company like this.

The elevator jolted and I moved forward with force.

The hoodie guy’s hand wrapped around my waist and steady me.

Woah,clumsy me.

“Thank you.” I mumbled as he helped me down.

Hebnods and we waited as the elevator started moving.

Immediately we got to the second floor he walk out.

There was just something not right with that man.

Something attracted me to him.

His sweet cologne I guess.

Alexander uses it a lot.

Alexander!

My mind swirl up and down.

Alexander, yes. That cologne.

It belongs to him.

“Wait!” I shouted but the door closed and he was already gone.

I got to the cafeteria and dashed towards the staircase, running to the second floor.

I cant be mistaken.

It is him, he is here.

But why?

Why is Alex here? He doesn’t even know that i work here.

I quickly dialed Maggie’s number and placed it on my ear.

Penny, What’s up?” She asked.

I can feel It Maggie, Alexander is here. My Alex is here.” I said breathlessly.

She was quiet for a while which made me think that he already hung up on me.

Penny why are you doing this to yourself?” She asked all of a sudden.

I stopped on my track, I grabbed hold of the rail.

“What are you insinuating?” I asked.

“This man left you for five years Penny, just because you felt his presence then you’re going after him?” She asked, I pressed my lip into a thin line and closed my eyes.

“Be the woman for once and let him come after you. We’re busy here call you later.” She said and hanged up.

I stared at my blanked phone and sigh.

Be the woman.

“Be the woman Penelope.” I said to myself and turned around to leave but suddenly came face to face with Bryce.

I wonder if he heard me.

“Bry…..Mr King.” I stuttered nervously.

He stared at me quietly,not saying a word while I stood there shivering.

“Miss James,my office. Now.” He said coldly before disappearing out of my sight.

I released the breath that I was holding and exhale loudly.

What did I do wrong now?

I went back downstairs and ride the elevator to his floor.

“Hi Katie, tell Mr King that I’m here please.” I told his secretary.

“Okay Penny.” She pressed a number and placed the telephone on her ear.

“Miss James is here to see you sir.”

“Okay.”

“You can go in now.” She said and I nods.

I walk to the door and knocked on it.

“Come in.” A raspy voice said.

I slowly turn around the door knob and walk in.

“You called for my presence sir.”

“Take a seat Miss James.” He motioned to the chair.

When I’ve sat down, I await his words.

“I’ll appreciate it if you concentrate on your job rather than chasing after your supposed baby daddy, Miss James.” He said sternly.

He wasn’t talking like the soft spoken Bryce at all.

“I advice you face your job rather than lose it.” He added.

Oh come on!
Why is my day so bad?

“Okay sir.” I retorted.

“You can take your leave now.”

I stood up from the chair and headed to the door.

“Miss James?” He called and I quickly turned around.

“I think you should were more of those skirts often.” He said and my cheek turn seven shades redder.

I was wearing a black pencil skirt and a stiletto heel.

Was it too tight?
