Still, in a confused state, the secretary called out to her,"Miss shepherd? Come take your appointment letter" lost beyond measure, she managed to get herself a stand then walked towards the counter,"You're quite lucky, it wasn't the CEO themselves who interviewed you. They're both quite picky and have different expectations when it comes to hiring a new member." The lady smiled, signed on the paper then gives her to put her signature."They're twins?" She inquired, the lady looked at her,"Haven't you heard of the white brothers? They're the heirs of the White household and both have a share of the company too" her mouth widened agape."Don't tell me you've not heard of them before?" Her brows twitched, looking intently at Sydney,"What? How am I possibly supposed to meet them?" She faked a small laugh before signing her name."See you." The lady walked out just before She realize she didn't get to know her name.Walking out of the building, Paxton stood close to the window, watchi
He looked deep Into her brown eyes, he smirked,"Are you enjoying this, because I'm not?" She immediately came out of her lost thoughts, batting her eyes repeatedly like a kid, each bat pulling his heartstrings,"Sorry, Sir." She abruptly ended the contact, setting her balance."Next time, stay 2 meters from me," He says." And with that, he walked away without acknowledging her apology,She gasps," How rude." She murmured, watching him walk away in a coltish way,"Is he injured?" Arching her brows, she bent to pick up the files scattered all over the floor,"He's not even that handsome, bet, his twin is quite handsome" she mumbled angrily, storming to the human resources department to photocopy the files."Just my first and I already feel old" she grunts.She finished up with the photocopy and quickly head over to the department,"You're quite slow" the supervisor complained,"If not for that....." She froze Instantly, that was her boss, she was about to curse Infront of her supervis
Walking into her office, she collapse tiredly on her chair, her system beeped, opening her email, and her eyes widened in shock and surprise, "That son of a devil, " she grabs her phone and swiped to her email, to retrieve the message,Mr. James walked up to her, "Sydney...?" She stood up and walked out,"What's with her again?" He murmured.Seated in his office, Paxton smirked. For the first time, it felt good to be the CEO. Nobody could question his actions, the door jammed close almost startling him, looking up ready to fire who dared barge into his office like that, but his gaze fell on her,"Just like I expected you to, you're 2mins late." He said calmly as if nothing had happened."I do not understand what this email entails, could you please explain more, Sir? She says through gritted teeth, drawing the sir."You are an employee here and have no right to question me." He looked at her delicate face ruined with anger, "get out of my office this minute and finish up within an h
The atmosphere is getting intense which made Celine uncomfortable around the boys.“Hello! What's going on guys?” Celine gulped hard like never before“My car broke down and…” Celine abruptly stopped talking when one of the boys emerge at her front, he pushed her to the floor and loomed over her.He pinned her to the floor, others saw that as a clue and they went to her car, moving from the backseat to the driver seat, searching for whatever valuable they could extort.“Please don't harm me. I can provide anything for you but please don't harm me.” Celine cried out, begging for her life.“Shhs! Are you sure you can provide anything?” The guy raised his left brows at her, roaming his lascivious eyes on her body.Celine nodded nervously under him, her eyes had started to water.“How about this?” he asked, tracing his index finger on her face and down to her neck.Celine shivered at his touched on her skin. She struggle to break free from him, but of course he's much stronger for her to
This was the question he was curious to know its answer."Why are you both quiet? Paxton's voice ate her up, she turned to Jaxton, her eyes filled with tears, he turned to his brother,"It's bad to eavesdrop on a conversation""I try to mind my business but you two are not helping me do that, your voices got to me from my office," he said calmly, he turned swiftly to Sydney,"I underestimated you. How close are you with my brother for him to know a secret of yours you badly don't want to tell anyone? He was playing mind games and Jaxton was aware of it. He had to step in before it was late"Can you just stop? Paxton turned to him, "And why should I?"Because she was a friend of mine even before she got the job and that has got nothing to do with how she came here. We met here." Paxton doesn't need to know what they are keeping but he was curious and partly jealous that his brother was so close off to this lady,"Yes, we're friends and that's that," she said with finality."Well, th
CHAPTER 13: SYDNEY'S POV*** Continuous buzzing of the alarm I set on the eve of my first day at work made me stumble out of bed as I dashed towards my bathroom to get prepared for work. After having a warm bath, I stepped out and couldn't settle on a particular fit. I stared at the clothes in my wardrobe and discovered I needed a change as casuals weren't much in it. I settled on a blue skirt with a slit at the front and white chiffon sleeve and a pair of black heels. After putting on the fit, I completed my look with light makeup as usual and detangle my hair with a hot comb, letting it rest on my back without packing it in a ponytail or wrapping in a bun. I picked up my bag and stepped out of my apartment without having breakfast, hurrying to get a taxi with the aim of not falling in the trap of the devil duo. I boarded a taxi which dropped me at the entrance of the company and I paid the driver for his services before he drove off. I took a deep breath
CHAPTER 14: I reached my office and found it difficult to focus on work. I stood up from my seat and stepped out of the office, walking towards a particular direction I didn't know where it led. I reached the end and took another turn and in the next ten minutes after taking several routes, I reached the rooftops where I sat down and bawled my eyes out. I felt thousands of daggers, piercing through my heart as the scene replayed in my mind as tears slid down my cheeks, wetting my skirt. I remained like that for over an hour till realization hit me. "Why am I hurting myself because of him?" I questioned myself. "Why am I feeling attached to him?" I continued. "Do I even have the right to be angry?" I interrogated myself inwardly, trying to convince myself that all we had or shared was nothing but a one night stand. I stood up and returned to the office and realized my makeup was ruined and anyone will be able to notice I cried and I immediately dashed into
SYDNEY'S POV "I went there for a party so I decided to grab few drinks and I mistook you for someone else" I lied partially, trying not to maintain eye contact with him as he stared at me, as if trying to read my mind. "Did he believe me?" I asked myself. "Make me coffee" he ordered and squinted my gaze at him. "That's Dana's duty,why me?"I asked myself but reluctantly stood up and headed out of his office. I noticed Dana staring at me awkwardly on my way out and I just walked away without sparing her a glance.I didn't know his preference, so I made the coffee warm and returned to his office in fifteen minutes time as Dana gave me a questioning look, seeing me with the cup and saucer I just walked past her, ignoring the look. If I were in her shoes I'll feel the same way though because it seems like I'm trying to do her job, unknown to her the devil himself gave me the order. I reached the door to his office and opened it subconsciously without knoc
