"Stop you're hurting me."She winced when he pinned her hands to the wall.
"You are messing with a beast wifey."He slurred and chuckled darkly.His warm breath fanning her cheeks sending down shivers to her body.

It has been a month since Azalea has started working with Ian Harvey at Harvey Corp.A man in his late fifties.He was just as the man as Bruce King.Ruthless and undaunted in business,yet kind and loving where his family was concerned. Looking back,Azalea still remembered the day when Azalea had a friendly date with Tom,and she broached the subject of working in a corporate sector. Tom kept on chatting meanwhile Azalea was heavily distracted. "Earth to Azalea.." "Sorry.."She smiled nervously. He shook his head. "Tell me,what's distracting you.Is it Gianna?" "No,nothing like that."He shot her a look which signified, 'I don't believe that shit.' "Actually..." "Actually?"Tom raised his brow. "I want to work in a corporate sector.Yet I don't know where should I start looking. Uggh..This is so frustrating." Deep down she felt she is cheating a nice boy.But can she help it?It was a rhetorical question.Surely,she has to act her part well.
"What made you chose corporate sector in the first place?" Azalea shrugged. "Let's just say I'm trying to expand my boundaries." "Hmm."Tom thought for a second before he replied. "Do you want to be hired as a temp?" "I didn't get you." "I mean my Dad's personal assistant has taken maternity leave.And now he is having a hard time managing his schedule.Would you like to do it? " "Will your Dad hire a fresher?"She asked hopefully. "Leave that to me.So will you?" "Yes,ofcourse wow."She beamed at him. He smiled back. "But mind you,its just a temporary employment." She waved her hand in dismissal. "Atleast its a start.Nevertheless,I hope I get a letter of recommendation?" "But ofcourse." "Thank you Tom.I owe you." "I'm glad I could be useful."
"I still don't believe that you are a fresher."Though he doesn't know Azalea's experience in the Kings' company.Ian had a sharp eye.She will give him that. "Yes,Mr.Harvey.Its just that I am too good with the work I do."Azalea scoffed playfully.
In the month that followed after the coffee date.Azalea was hired by Ian Harvey.The man has taken quite a liking for her.The two has gotten into a comfortable routine. "Yes,you're good without any doubt.Though I suspect this is your first job.I mean people take months to settle in a new position but you.." "Might I remind you, my parents own a restaurant and I assisted my Dad?"Azalea cut him off mid sentence.She cannot let him suspect her for any reason. "Hmm.That sounds about right." "Anyway,professionally speaking.You have a meeting with Mr.Smoak." "What?Today?" "Umm,yes.Is there a problem?" He thought for a while.His brown eyes piercing through hers. "Why don't you take a seat Azalea." "Is everything alright?"She chewed her lower lip. "Its actually personal.I know you and Tommy are together.And he must have told you about Bianca?" "Firstly uh..I am not dating Tom.He is just a good friend." "Oh?"Ian looked disappointed. "And secondly yes,he told me about Mrs. Harvey." Ian wheezed out a breath. "Are you alright?" "I have a meeting with Mr.Smoak.And the company which I'm competing with is Bianca's ex-husbands." Azalea's heart skipped a beat. She nodded and encouraged him to continue. "Xander is her son.And he doesn't like me for obvious reason." Hearing Xander's name was a balm to her wounds.Finally the day has come where her plan B will commence.
"Little does he know,that Bruce was the one who cheated on Bianca.She loved him very much but his infidelity made her take a decision which she regrets till now.She left Xander and now he thinks we are his enemy. Sorry Azalea I don't want to burden you with my family problems." "It ain't big deal.Every family has their own set of grievances."Azalea replied kindly. "So,would you accompany me to this meeting?"Ian asked hopefully. "Why not?This is my job right."Inside she was dancing with joy. "I wanted you to know the background before this particular meeting." "I'm glad you told me. So today seven p.m at Trump International?"
"Thank you Azalea for doing this." "You're welcome."She wanted to say the pleasure is all mine.She wanted to dance,to shout.Finally the day has come.
"Umm..Can I take the rest of the day Mr.Harvey?I don't have a proper...dress."She stammered. "Women..."He smiled ruefully. "Take the day off.Buy a dress from company's account." "That won't be necessary." "Oh sure it is.You're doing me a favour.Let me return it back." "Thank you Mr.Harvey." "You're welcome my dear."He smiled at her warmly.
Azalea laid her hand on her heart. 'Behold my heart..'she wanted to say dramatically. Quickly she packed her stuff. "First stop,shopping. Second,parlour."She muttered Stepping inside the best boutique,she tried a couple of formal dress.Finally she decided a beige dress which hugged her figure like second skin.

Her next stop was a reputable salon.There she bugged the salon expert with questions.They waxed her long legs and applied mosturiser.She did a haircut.She got bangs which was the simplest way to completely switch up one's look without losing the rest of their hair's length.
Almost running to her home,she cleaned herself.No time left for shower.She don her new dress,paired it with black tear drop danglers,a black stone finger ring and black and beige bangles to complete her look.She applied little makeup.Cannot afford to look slutty.She reminded her mind.Finally she wore her pump shoes which added her an additional length to her already tall figure.
"My,my..what are you upto young lady?" She jumped. "Mom,you scared the hell out of me."She exhaled a breath. "I have a business meeting."She said nervously.Suffice to say,nervousness was an understatement.She will finally meet the man of her dream-Xander King. "You know Azalea looking at you like this, it makes me feel so proud of you my darling." "Mom...."Azalea blinked her eyes rapidly. "Sorry,sorry no destroying your masterpiece right? By the way,you look gorgeous honey." "I love you mom." "Love you more my babygirl.Just nail it today." "I definitely hope so."She whispered under her breath...
