"Eve, we have come a long way to where we are now. We have endured so many hardships, swallowed our pride a few times and overcome countless hurdles. Don't let her ruin what we have hmm," Xander pleaded some more when he noticed that Eve's heart was yet to melt.
He rendered soft kisses to her bare neck trying to make her succumb to his teases. His roaming hands began to unbutton her red shirt.
"It's precisely because we have come this far that I am mad. It was just a few days before our engagement. I was this close to being recognized officially as your woman but she ruined that which I wanted the most," Eve stated emotionally. She grabbed his hand and prevented him from proceeding further.
"She is nothing but a lady who is too sick to take care of herself, not to mention others, so why does she always get in my way all the time?" Eve stated how she truly felt, something she often hesitated to say in the past.
She wondered whether things would have turned out differently if she didn't always swallow all her pains and let Xander have his way every time.
"That will happen soon, all I ask is that you give me a little time hmm," Xander mumbled. He raised his hand and cupped her beautiful face.
"In a matter of time, the title as my legal wife and the co-owner of all that I have will be yours. Trust me and just wait some more ok?" Xander cooed. He caressed her face affectionately while he kept his passionate eyes locked on hers.
"I love you, Eve. I, Xander Simon promise you this day that you will not only be the owner of my heart and body but the owner of everything I possessed," Xander whispered into her ears. His hot breath grazed her skin and the teases of his hands caused Eve's stomach to tighten in excitement.
"You better stick to your promises or else..."
"I will, my love," Xander declared. He beamed before finally locking his lips with hers. As he kissed her, he guarded her waist with his right hand and made her move towards the brown couch at the centre of his room.
When they reached the centre table, Xander gently pushed her onto the brown couch. He peered at her misty eyes which were nothing compared to the fierce look in her eyeballs some minutes ago.
"I might have missed our appointment last night, but that doesn't mean that we can't reschedule it, right?" Xander said provocatively.
"Hmm... why does it feel as if you just stole my line?" Eve replied, grinning.
The excited Xander beamed along with her as he moved closer and knelt in between her parted legs.
Xander bent so that his mouth was close to Eve's ear, "It doesn't matter who stole whose line. All that matters is that I have missed you," Xander confessed in a flirtatious tone.
He moved away just in time to see the charming smile that lingered at the corner of her lips.
Before he could do anything Eve lifted her body slightly off the couch, wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him closer to herself.
"If that is the case then show me just how much you missed me," Eve whispered back in a seductive tone.
Xander grinned evilly and immediately moved to kiss Eve from her neckline and down to her bare chest.
Every tease of his made the excited Eve anticipate what would come next.
Xander, whose hands were about to unstrap Eve's lacy red bra, paused the moment he felt the door of his office open.
"Don't you know how to knock?" The furious guy roared without lifting his head to see which employee dared to barge into his office.
"Relax, little bro, it's just me," The intruder announced.
He further walked into the room as if he didn't see that Xander was in the middle of having fun when he barged in.
"Wait, I can't help but wonder how much trouble you and your little mistress would have been in if it were another employee who came in and not me hahaha," the slim guy in a blue and white patterned suit teased.
He stared at the lady who was hurrying to button up her shirt.
"You are not any better than me, so I believe you are in no position to laugh at me, Seth," Xander snapped. He shamelessly turned around and acted as if nothing happened even though he was without a shirt.
"One more thing, Eve is not my mistress. She is the woman I have ever loved. I intend to spend my life with her so I ask that you accord her with the respect she deserves," Xander chided with his hands stuck in his trouser's pockets.
"Did you just say I should accord her respect?" Seth scoffed while gesturing at where Eve sat.
"She is not even your wife but your assistant, don't you think you are asking for too much?" Seth replied. He didn't give a damn that Eve was right there glaring at him.
"Also, I know that I am a scum but don't you think that you are the bigger scum between us right now..."
"Xand is the CEO and soon-to-be chairman of the entire Henry's Group. You might be his elder brother but your position is still below his, so I will advise that you accord him with some respect," Eve scolded Seth sternly.
"The last time I checked you were just a mere personal assistant. Compared to me, I believe your position is way below his, so how dare you call him by his pet name in the office?" Seth countered, his deadly glares shot at the fuming Eve.
