JLI am in the middle of the meeting and I can't concentrate. When I left, Gia was still sleeping. I lost count how many times I took her yesterday and even in the wee hours of the morning. If she's not able to walk properly when she wakes up — it's my fault. But I couldn't get enough of her.I don't understand anything in the presentation, but I acted like I am listening. I can always read my secretary's notes later. We have a French client that's very picky with the model he wants for the product. The endorser he wants is a woman with a certain beauty. No matter how many times he explained, he still didn't like any of our models. So my team brainstormed and presented their ideas today.Mr. Allaire wanted to branch out in the Philippines. They have several branches in the United States — particularly in New York and California. And last year, they opened one in Toronto. The construction here is ongoing, so they want to be prepared for the commercial. They have the money and we need t
FLASHBACK CONTINUED. . .HE gently nipped it before leaving it and reaching my lips for a kiss. JL's kiss was passionate and I couldn't help but put my arms around his neck. I pulled him closer to me. I couldn't get enough of him. We kissed for a few minutes that seemed like eternity, and when he left my mouth, I felt dizzy and lost with desire. His mouth found my other breast to give it equal attention, and as he stayed there for a while, I felt my back was not strong enough to support me.He awakened various emotions within me, and he felt the ache in my back. One of his hands was there, and when it left, it went to my stomach. He lightly pushed, and he laid me down on the table.JL kissed me on the lips again, and when he ended it, he looked at me while I was sprawled across the table."Beautiful," he whispered softly. nevertheless, I heard it and it gave me confidence no matter how small. Shame and excitement mingled together as I felt like a dish served before him. He kissed me o
GIAI drank cold water first before pressing the red button. “Sofia, can you call the finance department?" I asked my secretary."Do you need a report, Ma'am?" Sofia, one of my assistants and the oldest among them at forty-nine years old, asked. Despite her age, she's very quick on her feet and very well-organized."No. I need Kimberly Cueto in my office.""Yes, Ma'am.""Oh, and Sofia, can you call HR also? I need Leilani to be present when I talk to Kim. I need them here as soon as possible," I added. She was about to hang up the phone. Fortunately, she hadn't done so yet."No worries, Ma'am. I will call them now and ask them to come up here.""Thank you."After I spoke with Sofia, I called Cleo as well. I need her to be in the room. Kim has been in this company longer than I have. She's the same age as JL, so she was already here when my parents were still alive. She wants to be the financial chief and so far, I haven't seen any flaws in her work. It's just that her attitude sucks.
GIAAfter Cleo and I finished eating lunch, we returned to the office. I prepared my meeting with Mr. Soler in the boardroom. "Good afternoon, Mr. Soler. How are you I stood up and shook his hand as he approached. My secretary sat beside me to take notes. "I'm good, thank you. How are you?" he replied with a smile. He is in his late sixties and is acquainted with my father. He sat on the chair opposite me."Fine, thanks. Can I offer you something to drink? Coffee, tea, water?""Just water is fine," he responded. He unbuttoned his coat for comfort. I signaled my secretary to get some water. There is a built-in fridge in the conference room. The table was designed like a buffet table on the side because my father used to host dinners here. "So, let's get down to business," I said to him. We both opened the folders in front of us. "So, you have a new brandy and you wanted a commercial for it. Do you have any ideas in mind of how you want it to be?""I want something different," he c
UNKNOWN POVLook at the opportunity now. It feels like it was just yesterday when he was so timid and couldn't break a plate. Now, he's fierce and doesn't seem to accept anyone's criticism. Well, he is a Ganfornina after all. But rest assured, I will also get whatever he has.The person I am with is even more beautiful than him. Even I am more beautiful than him, so why did he choose him? I would give everything, except maybe if he's looking for a virgin, well, I can't give him that unless I fake a hymen.JL is mine. What's the point of writing love letters back then if he would end up with him? I know their marriage is only temporary. I overheard them talking in his office. I hear everything in his office, thanks to modern technology. And his stupid secretary, I just brought a report and she immediately trusted me and went to the washroom. What an opportunity. . . it's often on my side. And if he thinks he can catch me, the recording is gone. A slight touch in the security office was
GIATWO days later I went shopping with Cleo. She was so excited she almost tripped on the carpet. I went to pick her up, but she wasn't ready so I waited for her in the living room. JL went out with Rolf as he is leaving tomorrow morning.I was checking my phone, but there were no messages. I don't have a lot of contacts anyway so I just kept browsing on Facebook. High school was not something I want to remember because it was horrible. We all have to grow up sometime. The head of our student council at the time made a private group for our batch and everyone is added there — including me, much to my dismay.They are planning a reunion six months from now and they are looking for sponsors. Why do I have a feeling they would ask me? I don't even want to go."Hi stranger," a man with a baritone voice greeted me. It was Corbin."Hey," I got up to give him a hug. He stiffened and patted me in the back. "I haven't seen you in awhile. What are you doing here?" He has a place downtown, but
GIADAPHNE is friendly and we seem to hit it off well. She gave me side swept bangs and layered my hair so that it would be easier for me to blow dry it. I have to admit, I feel lighter with the hairstyle she did. She also suggested that if I was in a hurry, I can always dry it and put it in a messy bun. With my side swept bangs, it would look more sophisticated without trying.I didn't really want to color my hair, but she also suggested that I can get a few highlights, so she gave me some ash blondes here and there. It's barely noticeable now, but if I am out in the sun, it will be more visible. I like it. It's a big change for me. I mean, this whole thing is a total makeover.Our last stop is vision care. After I was tested, I was given contact lenses. I'm not sure how comfortable I would be using them all the time, so I asked for fashionable-looking eyeglasses too. Cleo picked out about ten pairs for me to try, and after eliminating the ones I didn't like, I was down to three. It
GIAJL came in no time. He was dressed casually and I know, he is not going to the office at all. Everyone was staring at him as he walked towards me but he only had eyes for me. The little bud between my legs pooled. Jeez. It’s scary how he affects me with just one look."Hey, hon!" he greeted me as he approached. The Dolce smell from him is enough to make my legs wobble."Hi. I'm sorry, did I disturb you? I was just despe—" I was cut off as we stood by the office door and he kissed me on the lips."You were saying?" His eyes narrowed.I hissed at him and whispered, "Why did you kiss me in front of these people? JL, this is a workplace.""Workplace or not, I will kiss my wife whenever I want."I gave him a stern look. When I glanced at the employees outside, some of them had heart-shaped eyes while the others looked jealous.When I looked back at him, I noticed a hint of lipstick on his lips. I wiped it away with my thumb and cleaned it. He had an amused look on his face."What time
