☔Episode 25☔

Bryce’s POV:

I sat down on my bed 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 f**king 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 sed-ctively like a s€×y sed-ctress that she was and straddle me.

“You always try to distract me from this topic.” I gro-ned as she started rolling her h¡p.

She is my wife, ofcourse I’m obsessed with her body.

“I miss you.” She whispered and s-ck on my earlobe.

“Hum.” I grabbed her wa-ist and squeezed it tightly.

“F**k, take me Bryce. I miss your c*ck.” She said and slammed her lip on me, a sigh escaped my lip and I shook my head.

How I turn from being serious to her puppet.

I’m wh¡pped.

P**sy wh¡pped.

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 in,side the elevator.

He was wearing a hoodie.

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

The elevator jolted and I moved forward with force.

The hoodie guy’s hand wrapped around my wa-ist 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?

☔Episode 26☔

Penny’s POV:

I stared at myself on the mirror and chuckled.

Is this really me?

I changed!

“You look gorgeous girlfriend, I’m so jealous of you.” Maggie said and I roll my eyes.

She was just trying to be funny.

I took in a sharp breath and looked over myself once more before grabbing my red purse.

I was wearing a black off_shoulder long dress, it had a split on the left leg.

Breathtakingly gorgeous.

“I guess I’d better go now.” I said nervously.

“Yes, go there and steal the show baby.try and mingle with cute rich men girl. Don’t let that d*ckhead tie you down.” She encouraged me.

Having Maggie in my life was a blessing.

Yes she pisses me off sometimes, but I couldn’t ask for another best friend.

I blessed the day I set my eyes on her.

I grabbed my car key and walk out of my room with Maggie trailing behind me.

I pushed open Christian’s door and peeped in.

My baby was already sleeping soundly.

I’d took slow inaudible steps towards him and k-ssed his forehead then smiled at his pretty face.

“Goodnight my liddo boy.” I said before walking out of the room.

Maggie volunteered to watch over Chris for me tonight.

I was grateful because it got me thinking throughout the day.

Maggie esc-rted me to the patio and k-ssed me on both cheek.

“Let lose a little bit tonight, okay?”

“Okay.” I mumbled and smiled, I unlocked my car and stepped in.

“I’ll be back soon.” I told her before driving out of compound.

God, why do I feel so hella nervous?

Huum, say what?

I’d be nervous even if I’m meeting Tom Cruise not to talk of dinning with his likes.

‘Youcan do this Penelope, you can do this’ i keep chanting in my head.

🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀

I gave the vault my car key and walk elegantly in,side the ball room.

My eyes took in the decor and the class in,side the ballroom.

I involuntarily tightened my hand on my purse. I felt so out of place.

I tried to get a dress that can fit in my budget, yes with my current salary I can afford a high class expensive dress.

But….

It is festive season and I promised to take Christian to Disney land.

I grabbed a drink from the waiter and sip a little while watching the people conversing.

A couple entered the ballroom which catches my attention, not just mine but a lot of peoples attention.

It was no other person that Mr and Mrs King.

The two powerful couple.

My eyes met with that of Mr King and I lowered my head a little, his beautiful icy blue preying eyes were staring at me when I looked up.

When I glance back up I noticed his wife staring at me as well.

Staring contest.

I smiled and nods at her, but she was smiling.

Actually, she was glaring at me.

Dang it!

What have I done now?

Then everyone started taking there seats.

I sat down at the fifth roll,away from the preying eyes of big individuals.

“Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the annual King’s conglomerate Ball night.
Tonight we welcome our very own CEO, Mr Bryce King!” The announcer said and there was a round of applause in the air.

“Thank you all for being here tonight, my wife,my daughter, my colleagues, my employees thank you all.

Tonight look like a great night and we should grab the best from it. Thank you.” He finally said and left the stage.

I loved the way he thanked his wife and daughter first.

After all, family comes first.

Well, a good family because I’ll put my life in line for my son.

The music started playing, it was time to dance.

It was very awkward because, I felt as if I’m the only one without a date here.

I sigh and gave a waiter passing by the glass cup.

“Excuse me please, why say is the restroom?” I asked her.

“Follow that back door and walk along the corridor. You’ll know the female restroom when you sees it.”she explained politely.

“Thank you.”

I followed her instructions and soon found myself in,side the restroom.

After doing my business, I stood before the mirror and wash my hands then clean them with towel.

After which I opened my purse and brought out my lip gloss.

I smeared it on my lip and pressed my l-ips together.

I soon felt a hot body pressed against me, i gasped and wanted to shout but his voice and muscular hand that covered my mouth got me speechless.

“You look so beautiful tonight Penny.” I gulped hærd and shook my head.

This is just a dream.

What is he doing here?

Why is he even here of all places.

I closed my eyes and opened it but he was still there, smirking at my display of stupidity.

He brought down his head and deeped his head at the crook of my neck.

He gro-ned and briefly closed his eyes.

“Why are you breathing so damn fast Penny?”

“Because you are so creepy and……I dont know what to say or do.” I retorted with a shaky voice.

“Do you want me to go?”

Bryce’s POV:

When Zen and I stepped in,side the ballroom, she stood out among the others.

Not in a bad way, her dress, her wig, her makeover.

I appreciate a beautiful woman when i see one, it doesnt matter ifbthe woman is my wife or not but Penny was exceptionally beautiful that night.

My eyes was glued to her for five straight minutes before I got hold of myself.

“Who is she.” Zen asked.

“The company new chief accountant, Penelope James.” I replied and grabbed two glasses of white wine from the waiter.

“Thank you.” I muttered and hand over Zen hers.

“Second daughter of The James?” She suddenly asked.

“Humm,” I retorted absentmindedly.

“F**k” i heard her cursed under her breath.

What was that?
