His Angel

Chapter 23

Laura smiled for the umpteenth time as she recalled the first passionate time she had shared with Greg.

She had felt wonderful. Really wonderful. And whole. And more of a woman. Especially with the realization that she could enjoy lovemaking like every other normal healthy woman. And Greg had pampered her like a queen and a child as well after they had decided to take a break from their sexercise the next day.

It had been three weeks since their reunion and Greg had always been in contact. Calling her on phone, taking her to lunches and dinners, spending intimate time with each other. It had been a very blissful three weeks for her.

The memories of their love makings always sent sweet shivers down the pit of her stomach and she always looked forward to the next time they'll be meeting.

She did her best to avoid her step mother and sister. She always felt disgusted whenever she saw their faces and made a mental note to tell her father what they had done, when he returned and make sure he believed her and not them this time. Though the chief had postponed his coming home to the end of next month.

She had asked Greg not to take any action against them to avoid unnecessary issues.

She would deal with them herself.

She had told Greg that she would be visiting his office that day, so she raided her wardrobe to look for something formal and elegant.

"What did you say your name was, again?" The secretary asked with a condescending countenance.

"Laura." Laura replied, unperturbed by the glare she was receiving from the other woman whose face was heavily caked with makeup. She pitied the skin under those heavy layers.

"And you're having an appointment with him now?"
The secretary asked coldly, sliding her eyes back to the laptop in front of her.

"Uhm, I'm actually a bit earlier than the scheduled time but I'm sure he won't mind." She replied confidently.

"He's not around."

Laura blinked. "What?"

The secretary looked up at her with an 'are you deaf?' expression.
"I said he is not around."

"Oh."

The secretary snorted and returned her eyes back to the screen. "I guess you didn't call him on phone before you embarked on your coming here."

"I did but his number wasn't going through." She replied absently.

"Have a nice day then." The secretary said in dismissal.

Laura glared at her for the first time since she came in.
"As I mentioned earlier, I am actually early. I'm..."

"You know what I believe?" The secretary spat. "I believe that you are some gold digging whore who is out to seduce my boss and dig out as much as you can from his pocket!"

Laura's eyes widened in both shock and confusion.
"Excuse me?"

"You are excused."The secretary continued. "You think I don't know what you're here for? Unfortunately for you, I do. Smart, ain't I? Now if you don't leave this office this minute, I'll call security to throw you out."

Laura quickly recovered from her shock and gave the secretary a hard glare.

"You have no right to talk to me like that."

"Oh yeah?" The secretary eyed her up and down condescendingly. "What would my boss want with someone who dresses as low classed as you're dressed? Or you think just a pretty face will get you any man you want?"
