Axel touched his cheek, which had received a slap from a woman he had just kissed a few minutes ago. Axel was sure he was drunk by now, which was a factor in why he was so bold as to grab a woman by the scruff of the neck and kiss her on the lips. Axel held his head, which was throbbing with who knows how many glasses of alcohol he had drunk tonight, and the last one he drank was the alcohol that came from the glass of the woman he had grabbed.
Axel fell on one of the sofas in the club. He closed his eyes, trying to undo one more button on his shirt. Until three buttons were undone, exposing his body. The image of the woman suddenly appeared in Axel's mind as the sharp gaze the woman showed him when Axel's sassy mouth called the woman something he shouldn't have. Axel had just realized that what the woman had said was the truth. Axel had heard from the tender woman, that she was not from one of the workers at this nightclub.
''Forget it, Axel. Consider it a mistake tonight, an accident, after all; you are not the one at fault; it is that woman who is so sexy in front of you.''
Axel opened his eyes and tried to get up from his seat. Axel's hand reached for the cell phone from the pocket of the cloth pants that were still attached to his body. he was looking for a number that he often contacted, either to share about work or do things they often did as men. Hardin had been his best friend for the past six years.
''Hello.''
"Pick me up, Hardin; I'm drunk."
''Shit! I'll come where you are now.''
Axel smiled slightly when he heard his best friend's heavy voice curse. After that, he told him in detail where his current position was. Axel decided to call him unilaterally, and he closed his eyes again while waiting for Hardin to pick him up. Tonight was the worst thing for Axel Leonidas. First, the big tender he was running suddenly failed, which made a loss that could be considered not small for Axel, and secondly, the rumors about him being gay were spreading so widely that it even bothered Axel a little, but, he didn't want to bother with it. Anyway, they also had no proof that Axel was gay, and no one could claim the truth without strong evidence.
As Axel's eyes closed, he felt a warm hand caress his exposed body. Axel tried to push the hand away from his body, but instead, he felt a small bite on his ear.
''Am I sure? I think right now you need me, baby. Come on, I'll make you feel good tonight."
The sound of the spoiled whisper that sounded so disgusting to Axel made him very disgusted now. but as he opened his eyes and stopped the slutty woman's action, Axel heard a scream and a forced pull that opened Axel's eyes.
''Aakhhh. Let go, mister.''
''Are you so insensitive when she rejects you?" She doesn't need a slut as long as you stay away. '' Hardin pushed the woman away from him, and Hardin's eyes went straight to the face of the man who had worried him so much because he had been difficult to contact for the past day.
''Axel, are you okay? Can you stand on your own? Hardin tries to cover up his worry when he sees Axel's condition, which looks sad for Hardin, who has been friends with Axel for almost 6 years. This is the first time he has seen Axel show his bad side in front of Hardin, as Hardin knows that Axel has never looked as drunk as today. If that is the case, then, Hardin makes sure that there is something heavy that Axel is bearing alone.
Hardin massages his temples as he tries to sit on one of the sofas in front of Axel. Hardin's eyes look into Axel's eyes with a sad look. Before, other people would have seen Hardin's sharp gaze. Which he directed when the cheap woman touched someone he cared about would be very different when Hardin looked at Axel; he seemed to be a man who lost his strength; more precisely, Hardin felt weak when he was with Axel.
''What happened to you?'' Hardin looked into Axel's eyes, trying to find an answer first, even though Hardin was not good enough to read other people's expressions. But for the sake of knowing every time Axel's expression changed, Hardin was willing to learn, even though he hated it.
''Nothing.'' Axel chose not to say it; he didn't want these various problems because everything was just nonsense. Axel was sure Hardin was normal, and Axel didn't believe the words of others who said bad things about his best friend.
''Nonsense. What stupid thing are you trying to hide from me? I didn't just meet you yesterday, Axel; we've been friends for almost 6 years now, and there's no way I can't recognize your frustrated facial expressions.'' Hardin, who originally didn't want to drink alcohol tonight, ended up only being able to drink one can of beer.
''Nothing. Only a slight defeat happened to the tender I was holding; the rest of the time, nothing happened.'' Axel tried to find a logical reason, so Hardin wouldn't keep asking him.
''You need an injection of funds? You've run out of money. How much did you lose?
Axel shook his head. he wasn't broke at all, and his wealth could still be said to have supported him for seven generations. Losing a tender wouldn't make Axel Leonidas go bankrupt overnight."So, what other problems have happened to you?" Hardin looked back at Axel's face, one hand at his side, wanting to rub Axel's face, but Hardin couldn't do it.
"It looks like I'll have to get married soon,'' Axel said, uttering nonsense just to see what Hardin's expression would be. And guessing that this time he was right, Hardin was so shocked that even his facial expression instantly changed, like he was holding back anger right now.
''You're already too drunk, Axel; let's just go home.'' Hardin stands up and pulls Axel's hand to immediately get up from his seat because Hardin feels that the words coming out of Axel's lips are increasingly sounding like nonsense.
To be honest, Axel was even surprised when his hand was tightly grasped by Hardin. he thought this was normal because they had been friends for a long time and were even like family themselves. Hardin was older than Axel by 2 years, and Axel thought that the attention Hardin gave him was like a brother looking after his younger brother. but, starting today, the corners of the field and Axel's heart said different things.
''You brought the car?'' Hardin's footsteps stopped when they reached the parking lot. He looked at Axel, who was still conscious, but not even the man made the slightest sound. Even Hardin saw only a flat expression and a blank stare.
''Hey, fool.'' Hardin hit Axel on the head just to wake him up. But when Axel's eyes looked up at him, Hardin quickly rubbed Axel's red forehead because he was so rude.
''My car is over there.'' Axel headed in the opposite direction, where his car was parked a little away from their current position.
''Get in! I'll take care of your car later." Hardin opened his car door and pushed away Axel's body, which was slightly bigger than his.
The next day, Tessa was back to preparing herself. This time she met someone who hired her for a simple outfit: a black shirt and light blue jeans with rips on both knees. Tessa's favorite shoes have always been faded boots. Before leaving her apartment, Tessa still didn't skip breakfast, though, only making her morning cup of cold Americano coffee and a slice of low-calorie whole wheat bread. Last night's incident at the club really made Tessa feel irritated again when she remembered it. The man's face was so handsome, but it was unfortunate that he had such an uneducated mouth. "Asshole! I guess the slap I gave him wasn't enough." Tessa swore as she stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth. She walked with her plate and glass to the sink and just set them there. Tessa returned her attention to her appearance in the mirror in front of her. She did this every time she was about to go through a job that would either look fun or make her feel miserable again.''Hey Tessa, look at you!
Tessa looked around as the car pulled up to a building. Tessa had changed her appearance into a woman from the upper class. where a black satin dress with a diamond necklace so big it seemed, made her feel burdened with such an expensive price just for a necklace attached to her neck. Tessa didn't realize that James had come downstairs. The man opened the door at her side, one thing that took Tessa by surprise as the man reached out his hand. And inevitably Tessa's hand, which was wearing a velvet glove, reached for James' hand. Tessa stood next to James. The man was also dressed to the nines tonight, hair neatly coiffed. A black suit with a bow tie marched with his appearance tonight. James' face still wore its cold expression. Tessa let out her breath. She moved her hand to hug James' arm, just as James had said earlier that they should look like a loving husband and wife. And one more thing tonight her name was no longer Tessa but Natasha Skywalker. "You're ready."Tessa gave a
"Just transfer the money according to the original agreement." Those words had become second nature to Tessa and the client. Tessa tried to quickly get out of James' car after removing the necklace and other jewelry attached to her body and returning them to James as they were. Only the clothes remained. If James wanted the clothes he wore tonight to be returned as well, Tessa would have no problem with that."Tessa."James' voice brought Tessa's attention back to the eagle eyes that held her hand, just as she was about to touch the car door."Hmm?"Without warning, James pulled Tessa by the scruff of the neck and kissed her on the lips. James crushed Tessa's lips slowly, while Tessa just stayed silent with dilated eyes and did not kiss James back at all."What! Is this in the agreement?" Tessa's mind screamed to immediately push James' body away from her.James' hands pulled Tessa's waist, making her body even closer to James'. Tessa didn't know what to do; on the one hand, she want
Axel was on his way back to his mansion. In recent days, Axel has avoided it every time Hardin invites him to go out and meet. I don't know if it's just Axel's gut feeling or just him thinking too badly of Hardin. But the last time Hardin dropped him off after he got drunk at the club, Axel increasingly realized the strangeness of Hardin. Axel still remembers clearly when he was still sober at that time. Hardin had tried to get close to him and kiss his lips. And of course, Axel didn't let that happen to him, he was still normal, and just because Axel didn't believe in women didn't mean he had to like the same sex!From that moment on, Axel tried to avoid Hardin. Axel also couldn't cover up how much buzz there was about the rumor that he was gay, just because he wasn't dating anyone. But Axel has proven that he is not gay because he always remembers the kiss he had with the woman he initially thought was one of the women working at the club. But it turned out that she was the wife o
The sound of the ringtone from Tessa's cell phone disturbed Tessa, who was still curled up in her blanket. Her hands groped at her bare sides, looking for the square object that was nowhere to be found. Tessa finally wakes up and searches irritably. Her cell phone had fallen under the bed, small hands immediately grabbed the phone and swore briefly to see who was calling. It was a little strange because the number that appeared was a number she didn't recognize. Tessa caught her breath and pressed the green button to answer the call. "Hello."The voice was a little heavy, but like a man who had matured enough to greet her, "Hello. Who are you?" "Is it true I'm talking to Tessa Azela?""Yes. That's right." "I'm Xander Leonidas. I got your number from my friend. Can we meet? I have a job for you.""Wait, Mr. Xander. Do you want to hire my services? If so, I need to have data and information about you before making an appointment." Tessa got out of bed, walked over to the nightstand
"Why are you dressed like this?""What's wrong, sir?" Tessa tried to pretend like she didn't know and as if nothing was wrong. "Your clothes are too strange.""Where is it weird, sir? You see, I'm wearing a shirt, skirt, and heels in line with other employees. Then where is the mistake?" Tessa stood up, boldly approached Axel, and explained her entire outfit. "You're trying to catch me out?" Axel looked at Tessa with one eyebrow raised. Axel wondered if the woman in front of him was pretending to be ignorant or just plain stupid. "Hemm...not at all." Tessa shook her head and lowered her body slightly. She wanted to see how far Axel could resist her temptation. "Could the honorable Axel tell me where my desk is?" Tessa spoke again with one hand on the back of Axel's chair, her eyes back on the pair of eyes staring back at her. The distance between them was so close that Axel's breath could be felt on the surface of her face. Damn it! Tessa became fixated on Axel's thick lips, whic
Tessa just watched as these two humans of different ages exchanged ideas, talking about company matters that she had no understanding of. Tessa just sat quietly beside Axel, shifting the tablet in her hand and reading several typed plans."It's so boring reading this!" Tessa pursed her lips. She thought about going and returning the money that Xander had given her, but she just gave up on the job."You brought your boyfriend, Mr. Axel?""Nope. He's my new secretary."Axel flashed Tessa a glare as their eyes met for a few seconds before Tessa returned her focus to the tablet in her hand."It's so pretty to be your secretary.""You could be Mr. Grey, though, my secretary is beautiful. You don't intend to make her your mistress, do you? Axel looked at Mr. Grey with a smirk."Of course, if you let me, I will make her my wife.""Really. Tessa, how did Mr. Grey ask you to be his umpteenth wife? Axel looked at Tessa, who looked confused. But Axel was surprised when Tessa's hand pressed on on
Warning!!! Hot area: 21+; please stay calm. *****Tessa opened her phone when she got a message notification from Xander, Axel's father."Why is he texting me?" Tessa put down the coffee cup in her hand and started to look at Xander's message, which sent a picture that made Tessa startled. She ran quickly to the elevator."Shit! How could I leave him alone?" Tessa clutched her phone as Xander sent her a photo of two men in the photo, one of whom was the man who had just come into Xander's room."No way." Tessa was still thinking to herself that it couldn't be the man who liked Axel.After all, it was clear that the man's face looked very normal. Handsome too, so why choose to be gay?Tessa increased the speed of her walk toward Axel's room; she didn't care that Axel would be angry with her. If it were true that the man was the source of error here, then Tessa would clearly show the man that Axel was still normal.Tessa took a ragged breath before her hand finally went around Axel's d
