Where It Leads

Chapter Seventeen

Philip POV

"Honey am home" I call out excitedly as I walk into our mansion. I like the sound of that. I am immediately greeted with sweet aroma of tomato sauce and noise from the kitchen. I am not surprised but pleased to see that my baby is cooking for me.

"welcome" she comes forward to give me a kiss and turn to head back to the cooker earning a smack to her sexy ass. "what!"

"that looks tempting" I say pointing to her backside
She gives me a naughty look and asks me to get her the plate behind me. Turning around, I feel a smack to my own butt. "why would you do that"

"this, looks sexy" she says smacking me again.

"are you kidding me, why would you take delight in smacking me?"

"same reason you do. Go on and freshen up, dinner would be served then"

"can i get a kiss then?"

"you would have enough later, shoo"

After putting away the dishes, i lifted her to the counter wrapping her legs around me, i carry her in that position to the living room. "you said you would tell me something Phil"

"yes! But firstly, i want to hear how your first day went. Tell me everything"

"ok" she sighs and started to trace her fingers along my chest "it was fine, everyone was pleasant. But can you believe that two of the girls i had lunch with were actually interested, no obsessed with our boss, one literary warned me to stay clear of him and asking if i have a rich boyfriend"

"hmmmm," i start squeezing her ass cheeks "what was your reply?"

"that she pinning for her boss is a recipe for disaster" i chuckle

"i bet the boss doesn't notice them in that regards cos he is in love with someone"

"you wouldn't know that"

"well i just know. so what did you say in regards to your boyfriend?" i'm just curious to know more about her

"i had to ask her why i would answer her such question that's absurd"

I need to tell her but how do i begin? I have never felt this nervous before

"and this your boss, is he handsome?"

"is someone jealous?"

"pfft. Never"

"i don't know. haven't met him"

"but if your colleagues are pinning for him, wouldn't you feel the same way" she looks at me like, really looks at me.

"when i have you in particular, in all your glory and manliness, the boss can go to hell for all i care Phils." rolling her waist slightly, i should be getting excited, instead I gulp for what am to say next

"i. am. the. b-boss"

Smiling "of course you are, no one is taking your place" she dips her head head down kissing my neck.

"glad to hear that, but i am really the boss in the company" she froze on top of me not moving a muscle. You can literally hear a pin drop.
Ever so subtly, she detached her upper self from me and sit up yet still on my lap. Looking straight into my eye. Why would she have that murderous look?
"you mean...you"

"own the company yes" i had to complete it for her because she is obviously at loss for words.

"why am i not aware? Oh. My. God"

I didn't answer making her talk again "explain why you didn't inform me"

"I hid my identity from you when it dawned on me that you had no idea who i really am. You were ignorant to whether am rich or poor. I wanted someone to love me for me not my wealth. I found that person to be you. I wanted to get to know you first," her mouth were agape and her eyes filled with tears threatening to fall. I reached and wiped a stray tear
