MORE THAN A SECRETARY

Chapter Eighteen



Entering into their room, he backed her against the door and claimed her lips in an intense kiss, that went different than other kisses they have shared, his tongue dived straight into her mouth, exploring every part of it with shared wanton, she clung to him as much as she could kissing him right back, matching his every move, he dragged his mouth off hers to her nape, her throat, and back to her lips all the while taking off her dress, then her bra, his hungry eyes feasted on her breast

“I want you, Kat, I want you so much I feel like I would burst with needs,”

He whispered pulling her lips back to his and kissing her again, dragging her to the bed with him, her whole body was on fire, she felt hot all over, she has wanted this man for so long that his touch light up her whole body, his skilled mouth did things to her, he moved his mouth to her neck and sucked on it, she let out a desire filled moan, holding onto his hair, he circled her around her breast with his mouth, she moaned in want.

“You want that don’t you? You want me to suck on your breast,”

“Yes, please,” she moaned and he took her mound into his mouth, he suckled on them, giving them both his attention, making her cry out with want.

“I want you, Kat,”

He said against her breast his hands moving to her panties.

“I…”

The ringing of a phone drown out what she wanted to say, they both jumped, and he checked his phone, but it wasn’t his, she turned to check her bag and one of the directors was calling, she tried as much as possible to calm down before picking the call.

“Hello, good evening sir,”

She greeted wondering what he wanted so late at night.

“Good, evening, I have been trying to reach the boss but his number is not going through, could you please get him on the line?”

“Okay, sir,”

She said and passed the phone to him, she quickly wore a t-shirt and watched him on the call she couldn’t make out what they were saying but his expression changed and darken, whatever it was it may not be good, she thought as she adjusted her cloth and tried hard not to think of what just happened and what might have happened if the call hadn’t distracted them.

“What happened?”

She asked when he dropped the call.

“Our shares went down, one of our directors just ran away with a huge sum of company money and it blowing up,”

He revealed walking over to his laptop while dialing a number on his phone, she quickly helped him bring out his laptop and also hers too, she picked up her phone and checked the company website, and indeed, the stock price was down, at this rate Lucas was already pacing up and down and talking loud on the phone backing out orders, something like this has happened before and he was able to track down the thief, she just hoped he would do the same now, there was nothing she could do until she was instructed so she just sat there watching his talk, with each passing minute he became angrier and angrier, after over thirty minutes he finally dropped the phone, the look in his eyes was scary.

“Kat, I think I have to go back to New York by tomorrow morning, how did I not see this coming, that scorn fooled me, and if I get my hands on him I am gonna skin him alive, no one steals from me,”

He said to her, this was the Lucas she knew, the ruthless one, the one everyone else apart from his family and her saw, she walked up to him and took the phone from him, set it on the table and held his hands, smiling brightly at him.

“Hey, you got this, you will find him, just don’t get yourself all worked up over that,”

She said trying to smoothen him.

“About what happened,”

“Can we not talk about that now? We have a lot of work to do, not to mention we have an early morning flight tomorrow, so let’s not talk about that now,”

She said, not wanting to hear him say sorry, or that it shouldn’t have happened, she couldn’t take that.

“Kat,”

“Let’s get to work,”

She said handing over his laptop to him, he took it while looking at her, she smiled at him and brought out her laptop, as she expected her email was bursting with messages from different investors.

“Dude, sit down we already have hundreds of emails to attend to,”

She said, pointing at her laptop.

They spent the rest of the night, replying to emails, setting up meetings for those who felt they had to meet the boss to be reassured, reassuring everyone that they are on the issue, and looking for a way to stop the shares from going down, by the time she looked up again it was way passed four am.

“I will get the airport notified, and also are we coming back to California again, or are we just gonna end the trip here?”

She asked yawning, it’s been a while since they pulled an all-nighter

“I am the only one going back to New York, you have to stay here and meet the Reuben in my place, we have a meeting Monday morning and I am not sure, I will be back by then”

“For real?”

She asked getting up in shock, there was no way she was meeting the old man to discuss business, what if she mess it up and he loses? He will never forgive her.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Can’t it be postponed or something, why do I feel Monday is like a deciding factor? What if I mess it up?”

“Katrina, calm down will you, you have been with me for six years now, and all these while going on different business trips and meetings with me, I trust you to handle it well, I need to go to New York and see things for myself, and at the same time I have to meet with Reuben,”

“Can’t I just go over to New York instead, and report everything to you?”

“Really? You practically just helped set up a meeting with people who wants to meet me, what happens if you go instead?”

“That’s true but still, this deal is huge for you and you have come so far, I don’t want to mess it up,”

“You won’t,”

“You sound so sure,”

“Yes, because I am sure,”

“What did I get myself into?”

She asked laying on the bed, her tired body wanting nothing but to fall asleep but she still had a lot to do, she stood up from the bed again and picked up her cell to inform the airport of his flight, again the creepy love message was on her phone,”

“Hey, wh… Did you get another text?”

He asked.

“Yes,” she replied showing her phone to him.

“Don’t panic, we will handle that,”

“Okay,”

She replied, dialing the airport.

“It is a six-thirty am flight so you have to get ready, you have less than an hour,”

She said when she dropped her phone.

He nodded and headed to the bathroom, she laid on the bed, and close her eyes for a second when she opened them again, he was ready and just noting his tye.

“You up? Sorry I kept you awake last night, you can rest for the whole of today, the meeting is tomorrow morning,”

“I know, and I am still scared,”

“Don’t be, you will handle it like a pro,”

“Easier for you to say,” she said getting up from the bed and moving to him to help him with the tie.

“What will I do without you?”

“Nothing, you will be a mess,”

He leaned towards her, she knew he was going to kiss her and withdrew her head.

“I have terrible morning breath,”

She said removing her hands from him and taking a few steps back.

He pulled her back to him and planted a sweet kiss on her lips.

“We will talk about this when I get back okay? We have a thing going on with us, and I, we have to talk about it”

“Okay,”

She nodded and he kissed her again, this time a little deeper. She could get used to this, get used to his kisses.

She pulled away from him.

“Let me call the driver to take us to the airport,”

She said and picked up the room line and dialed the number for the drivers, she was able to get one and told him they will be down in a moment.

“You don’t have to come with me, you need to rest, you are practically sleeping on your toes,”

“Look who is talking, you look worst, please take it easy will you?”

“I will don’t worry, I am not going to kill anyone, just maybe chop off his dick,”

“Hey!!!”

“He needs to pay for what he did,”

“Yeah, that’s why the law exists,”

She knew he was joking about cutting off the dude’s dick, he might be seen as ruthless but she knew he wouldn’t do that.

“How about Reuben, are you gonna notify him, or am I going to just turn up as a surprise,”

She asked changing the topic as they both walked out of their room to meet up with the driver.

“Yeah, I will call him on my way, it’s still too early to call right now, I don’t want to disturb his sleep,”

“Okay, I still think you should negotiate for a postponement,”

She added.

“No, you can do it, now go back and get some sleep baby you look tired,”

He said pulling her to him and kissing her again before getting into the car, it zoned off immediately, she stood there for a moment holding her lips, she lost count of the number of times they have kissed since this whole trip.

“You are in trouble girl,”

She said to herself as she walked back to the room.
