chapter 78
When Olivia arrived on her floor, she was about to enter her office when Martin’s voice called out to her. She hadn’t liked him at all since he’d stared at her breast because of the button on her blouse. She stopped and saw him advancing towards her. When he reached her height, he surprised her by holding her by the waist and pressing her closer to him. She hiccupped in surprise as he stared at her lips. She wondered what the hell she’d gotten herself into.
-But what are you doing?
-I have to admit, that braid suits you very well, even if I like your hair loose. He’s always liked to see women in braids and I’m not surprised he’d do one for you.
Olivia opened her eyes wide. And here she thought it was going to go unnoticed, but now two people already knew who had braided her hair and it was sure to cause a scandal.
-You don’t have to keep quiet, Olivia, but let me remind you that this man is not the one for you, my pretty. I’m here and I want you. He’s blindingly handsome but he’s already broken more than one heart, so don’t get your hopes up.
She was aware that her boss wasn’t the kind of man she could be around, but to say Martin was better than him would be wrong. He meant Damon was a Don Juan, which he was, but he was doing the same thing right in front of her.
-If you’re finished, you can let go of me now because I’ve got work to do.
-And I’m your boss, so I decide to let you go if I want to, and right now I don’t want to. Stop acting like an innocent girl and kiss me, Olivia.
She couldn’t believe he’d just asked her such a thing. Was she really going to kiss him? It was sheer nonsense. She slipped out of his arms without warning and was about to enter his office when he caught up with her. Without warning, he placed his lips on hers and kissed her forcefully. She kicked him in the crotch and fled into his office while he writhed in pain. She double-locked the door, huffing for escape this time. And to think she’d told the big boss everything was fine. She hoped she’d get the chance to ask him that question again, so she could tell him she didn’t want to work for Martin anymore.
After Olivia’s departure, Damon returned to his office and was surprised to see James sitting there. Carline was standing in the doorway and he wondered why she was waiting.
-Is everything all right, Carline?
-Yes, sir. He arrived while you were away and I was just waiting for you to arrive so I could leave.
He nodded and she left his office. He looked at James, who had been staring at him all day, thinking he was looking for something. He passed him without a word and sat down.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
-So you’ve finished coming and now you’re ready to go back to work.
-What are you talking about, James?
-I know your meeting ended a while ago, but strangely enough you didn’t come home and according to my information, you kept a young girl in the meeting room. You’re definitely not going to change Damon Dixon. I might know who that girl is.
So his employees thought he’d stayed with Olivia because he wanted to sleep with her. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to, just that it wasn’t too decent in the boardroom.
-I’m having a party on Saturday and I hope you’ll be there. I’ll call Tyler later and tell him about it.
-the company party, I guess, but you usually do it at Christmas, so why so early?
How could I tell him it was the desire to see Olivia again under her beautiful sheets that drove him to do such a thing? this girl was even going to end up driving him to eat paws, the one thing that repulsed him to the point of nausea.
-I hope you’ll be there, my dear friend, and it’ll be at my place, so you have no excuse for saying no.
James had just fallen naked. Damon never liked to see anyone at home, and now he was having a party at his house with all the company’s staff. He needed to see a doctor.
