Conflicts

Tom entered the office at the fastest speed forgetting Linda is following behind.

His mother threw a fit when he wanted to go back to his office and only calmed down when he agreed to take Linda with him.

He also learned that she will be working with him as an executive secretary.

He wanted to rebut but his mother's plans are obvious. It's will be a waste of time to argue. Linda is a fashion designer, what else could she be doing in his firm that has nothing to do with entertainment or fashion?

He scanned the room hoping to see the little wife when he didn't see her, his dark aura grew colder which made the people in the room scared to their wits.

All of them didn't dare to move and breath, feeling unjustified of their boss's temperament.

Tom turns his head to look at the person pulling his arm. He supposes to scold the person when he sees at the corner of his eyes Sab standing not far away.

Linda smiled brightly when Tom did not complain about her advancement. She was wearing a light tone beige which emphasizing her curves. It looks sexy decent and elegant while complimenting her soft feminine look.

This dress is one of her creations. She got her first award and considered it as her lucky charm. Though the man is still aloof of her, she wanted to establish her presence and claim that no one deserves as Mrs Del Monte aside from her.

"Tommy, can you please introduce me to them?" Linda's voice was soft and not loud but enough for everyone to hear it. It sounds sweet and alluring.

Everyone calls Thomas as Tom and she was the only one who calls him Tommy in their circle. She was a little proud showing that she's different from others without being vulgar.

Tom looked at her with a straight face and a little smile on his face. It was hard to read his mood because of this. He lazily retracts his arms and faces his secretary.

"Alvin, accompany Ms Lee to the HR Department and follow the process for new employees. She'll be working on starting Monday. Make sure to explain well her job and the company's policies."

Linda smile froze. Her face heated in embarrassment. If not on her make-up, she'll definitely be exposed.

She gritted her teeth and widen her smile in agreement and thank Alvin for his help. She also happily greeted Bing and Ana who looks very thrilled when they saw her.

Sab is just observing. Her heart turned cold the moment she saw the two. Linda's beauty is very eye catchy that even if she stands in the crowd, she'll stand out from the rest. Her every movement shows elegance and feminine.

As a woman, she can't help admiring Linda. She can't help to compare herself and to feel insecure about herself.

Sab reach out Linda's hand and gave a forced smile after giving a short introduction. "Nice to meet you. I'm just an intern here. You can also ask me if you need anything."

"Please be patience to me. I will surely need your help." Linda is smiling at everyone. She didn't dare to highlight herself or relationship with Tom anymore.

Sab avoided Tom's gaze. She doesn't want to see his face. The woman in front of her is too beautiful. She doesn't understand why this man avoiding this kind of high-quality meat.

Ana and Bing were pumped as soon as they saw Linda Lee. She is one of the designers they follow and like. She won several awards already even at a young age but still chose to cultivate her talent further.

Her career was truly promising until they read the news that she back out on the "Style International" a reality tv program for promising fashion designers.

Seeing her in flesh, they could already guess that the rumours about their boss might be true. Both cannot wait to post this in their chat group.

Sab is trying to focus on her tasks on hand. Linda went straight to Tom's office and never left. She tried hard to ignore it but the two of them being intimate keep flashing and no matter how hard she ignores, the images just keep on appearing on her head that made her frowned many times.

Tom called several times through the secretarial phone and thru cellphone, but it keeps on hanging-up as soon as someone picks-up or it will just be directed to busy tone.

Good thing Anna and Bing left their seats. They won't have the chance to bully her. If Tom wants her to go into his office, her presence between him and Linda will be like a joke. She doesn't want to be the third wheel. After giving some thoughts, she stood up with a heavy heart and left the building.

She walks aimlessly and found herself inside a resto & bar. It's still early, most people are there to dine, just a few people are drinking.

The gap between tables is a little wide than the normal restaurant she worked for. Maybe this is because the owner wants to give a little privacy to their customers.

The tables and designs are quite unique. The bar was quite huge and few people sit there for few shots.

This place looks very expensive. Maybe because of the decor or maybe because of the people coming in and out. All of them seems almighty.

She wanted to leave but the Manager already approached and politely greeted her. "Good afternoon! May I know if you here to dine in alone with someone?"

She thought for a while before answering. She doesn't want to spend so much but since she's planning to use card given to her by Tom, she just brushed off all her worries. "Alone. Do you have a private room?"

"Yes, we do. We have a room that can accommodate up to 5, 10 and 20 people."

"I want the room for 5 then."

"Are you expecting a few people to dine in with you?"

"Nope."

"As of now, we only have the room good for 10 people. Would you be fine with that!?"

She thought. "Yes."

The Manager "..."

He subconsciously checked the young woman in front. Her clothes are simple but gives a feeling of superiority which matches with her beautiful face.

This is because her clothes were not branded but custom made. Others might be mistaken as ordinary clothes, but he can't make mistakes on this. Her dress surely cost a few thousand dollars.

He smiled brightly. "I'll lead the way."

Sab has thrown all her logic. She has mixed feelings unable to identify if she is mad, piss off, hurting or just gone crazy. She refuses to know the cause of her unhappy mood.

She felt a little better as she sat at a cosy sofa inside the private room. The room was bigger than her old room and way comfortable. Looking around, she's sure that people come to this resto are not simple.

From decor and how they serve, they do practice "Customers are God."

Her phone vibrated and saw Tom's name. It took a few rings before it stops Hmp... I'll make you go bankrupt if you kiss me again.

Crazy man... Why is he calling me if he already has that kind of woman in his life... Crazy man...

Sab ordered quite a lot, mostly the resto speciality and also alcohol. She ordered the one that kicks in but nice in taste. Since she's not familiar with names and brands of alcohol, she let the waitress pick the drinks for her.

The waitress was a little hesitant to give any suggestions but kept her professional smile. The price of the food alcohol they are serving is very pricey even for most adults but seeing the black Sab wave on the air, the waitress smile widens and suggested the most expensive. This drink will get you addicted to the taste, but the impact of the alcohol is quite intense especially from none or occasional drinkers. Of course, the latter information was not revealed to the young customer.

Her face showed a little regret while waiting for the food to arrive. She to search about the place and most of them commenting that it's very pricey. One commented that he went there for dinner and get some drinks to impress a girl and almost billed almost a thousand dollars.

She looked around on the huge private room, her heart beats loudly. She almost ran to cancel all her orders but again, she becomes stubborn.

She heard that there is no limit on the black card. Nonetheless, she felt nervous. For her, everything must have limits. She already used the card previously and if this card has reached its limit, she's surely doomed. When this happened, will Tom kick her out? Especially now that his ex-girlfriend returned?

It felt someone punching her heart thinking of the possibility. Will she be okay sleeping every night alone? Will she be okay eating alone? Will she miss his kisses? Will she miss the evening and morning hugs?

Thinking of the past few weeks, Tom kisses her whenever he wants to. Either in their room or car or in the office. He will kiss her whenever he has a chance or he feels to.

Though he has not crossed the line yet, if this man really wants to, he will be able to do with her anytime. Because every time, her protest was all in vain.

Her body never listened to her and responded to everything. A bad man who keeps on secuding her. But who will not be? Her body shivered the moment she touches his refind muscular body. When his brown eyes locked with hers, she will immediately get intoxicated and forget to protest.

She was cursing herself for being so weak and also thankful at least her virginity is still in fact. If not, she will not know how to live her life.
