Chapter 41: Chapter 41

"Did your mum have a fat ass?" Nick asked me casually as we walked towards the office after lunch. He had his hands on the small on my back that I'm sure were dying to go down to my butt as usual. His question surprised me.

"What?" I asked him laughing and looking at him. He had a smile on his face as he gestured to my butt. "Just asking...genes and all that, you know?"

"I have no idea Nick. Maybe she did.." I said laughing as we got into our office and he finally squeezed it.

I'm sure he was dying to do that. Not that I minded.

"Well..I need to thank her for yours. It's so soft and huge and spankable..I think it's even getting bigger.." he whispered in my ear and I shivered.

"Nick.. this isn't the place for this.." I told him looking up into his bright brown eyes. I can see how happy he looks this morning.

"Worry not beautiful. Why don't you get my coffee? You're still my PA after all. Just because I give you mind blowing orgasms doesn't mean you have to be slacking at work .." he said and I blushed and put my chin up.

"Who said they were mind blowing ? But I guess you're right. I'll get your coffee now Sir." I said and left the office before he could hold me and ask me take what I said back or prove his point. I was definitely lying though.

I bumped into Tasha and she was laughing at something on her phone. "Hey.

What's so funny?" I asked , curious as always.

"I just saw this thing on Twitter. You have to tell your boyfriend that you'd like to see other men and then post his reaction. Yo.. guys are mad mad Ari. Too bad I'm single like a Pringle !" She said and slumped her face and I scrunched my brows.

"What about Cedric? I thought you two had something ?" I asked her remembering how she told me they had been seeing each other the last few weeks.

Ughh.. it was just a little crush and I've gotten over it. Maybe that's the problem with me— my short attention span. What do you think?"

I don't think you have a problem Tash. Just haven't found the right guy." "You're right. I want to find my own Nick." She said and I looked at her with a

blush on my cheeks.

"Everyone knows you two are dating.. it was quite obvious from that little scene from your birthday during the weekend. That was so sexy! And so romantic.. oh my gosh !!" She said fan girling and I rolled my eyes.

"Well he's still my boss. And I have to go get him coffee if I don't want to lose my job , so I'll see you later Tasha.."

"Sure! But you owe me details ! All of it." She said as we walked away in opposite directions. I got to the coffee maker and made his coffee. On my way back to the office , I couldn't help but recall everything that happened yesterday. It was very much to take in. I couldn't understand some few things. I plan on confronting Harry after work. I shook the idea off and remembered what Tasha told me and decided to play a little game on Nick.

He'd be so furious. I smiled to myself.

I walked into our office and placed the coffee on his table. He was on the phone with I'm guessing one of our clients. I winked at him and walked out knowing he was of course looking at my butt. My green turtle neck dress hugged my body tightly.

Most especially, covered my hickeys. And I had a truckload of them.

I went to my desk and took out some candy and ate while scrolling through my

phone. After a while of waiting for him to hang up, I decided to start my little game. I texted him.

A: I wanna see other guys..

I waited with a smile on my face. He was quick to start typing. I bet he was thinking of what to say. Or he might get upset and storm in here and ask me to repeat it for him.

I know him so well..

N: Excuse me?? Come to my office. A: Nope. I mean it.

N: I don't use laughing emojis but this better be a fucking joke. He's getting pissed !! He's typing so fast right now!

I laughed so hard knowing he couldn't hear me due to the sound proof rooms. I bet he's fuming .

A: No jokes at all. Anyway, you have a meeting in an hour.

N: You just spring that on me and act like nothing happened? Alright fine. That had me. He's fine?Fine?? I typed fast.

A: Really? You're fine with it?

N: Yeah , why not? Do you have anyone in mind?

I thought of a quick answer. Was this sarcasm? Well I'll play till the end.

A: Yeah. Maybe one of the guys from Tech downstairs.. I think his name is Ted or something. Maybe Rick?

N: Excellent. Schedule a meeting with my lawyers. A: What? Why?"

N: Because I'm about to kill a motherfucker. I'll be needing bail.

I laughed so hard and heard the door opening to see a very livid Nick. Wait.. he can't be serious right? He was heading out when I jumped out of my seat .

"Nick! Where are you going to !" I held his arm before he walked out.

"Where else love? I'm going to fire all the guys in Tech, thanks to you. And shoot all their knee caps." He said with a straight face and my eyes widened.

"Oh my Gosh Nicholas! I was only joking.. it's some joke on Twitter! You need to chill out, geez.." I said holding his face in my hands. It was so cute and sweet that he wanted to do this but a little too much?

Way too much.

"Loosen up caro... you don't need to fire Ted or Rick for no reason. And, just by the way.. you won't look the best in orange." I tease him and he smiled and rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry .. it's just.. the thought of another man .. I—I can't explain it.."

I understand completely. You got jealous..it's absolutely get it. I would lose my mind if the roles were reversed.."

He chuckled and pulled me closer. Much tighter. I could feel his hard body and the heat emanating from him. "You don't understand.. being jealous .. is wanting something that's not yours. Possessive is the word you want or maybe fucking Territorial. Yeah, that comes close. Cliche but I'm yours and you are mine and nothing is coming in between us . Got it?" He said seriously and I felt my heart glowing. I kissed him and he groaned.

I love you. I wish I could tell you.

I thought as we got lost in the kiss. I could feel him moving us backwards as the kiss got wilder and hotter. I felt him open the door to his office stopping to lock it. He faced be again and carried me to the couch still kissing each other deeply. My dress was already pushed up and his hands were on my thighs.

"N-Nick .. not here.." I stuttered as I bit his ears. And he licked the spot behind my ear

"Yes here. Right now.." he said removing my dress completely and I couldn't resist him like always.

"Something about mind blowing orgasms , you said earlier ?"

"I-I was only kidding .." I said and he raised his brow pinching my butt.. "We'll see.." he said before we got lost in a pool of carnal desires.

"You're so mean! I promise I'll get you back Nick." I said trying to arrange myself and doing his tie again. I can't believe he did that to my underwear 😭. And I can't believe I just had sex in office. Wow.

"I'd love to see you try." He said laughing as I tried fixing him up when someone barged in unceremoniously.

"What the fuc—mom" he said and I turned to see Nicole DeMorgane standing before me. She looked as classy as always with her hair in a bun and her pearls on her neck which must be priceless. My eyes widened and my cheeks turned red at what the compromising position we are in now. Thank God she didn't come earlier!

"M-Mrs D-DeMorgane.. I had no idea you weee coming..I'm —"

"Of course you didn't. You were too busy banging my son. Weren't you dear?" "It's not—"

"Mom. Nice to see you. What are you doing here ?" Nick cut me off thankfully while buttoning his adjusting his fly. I tried arranging my hair and tried looking anywhere but at his mom.

"Do I need an appointment to meet my son? You do remember I still have shares in this company right?"

"I'm well aware. But you don't just come barging into my office unannounced. I was in the middle of something.." he said and my eyes widened.

"I can see. The lipstick on your neck proves it. But it's very unprofessional to roll in the sack at work don't you think?"

"I-I'm sorry—" I started when she looked at me and gave me a nasty look before scrutinizing me.

"I didn't talk to you. You can excuse yourself now." She said and turned back to her son.

She really doesn't like me. Why the hell not?

"Mother. Stop it. I would appreciate if you spoke politely to my girlfriend." She looked taken aback. Shocked. Horrified.

"Girlfriend? T-this is your girlfriend?!"

"Yes mom. Cara meet my mom. Mother meet my PA and girlfriend , Arianne." He said introducing us and I smiled and put my hand for a handshake and she scrunched her nose. She looked away and I put my hand by my side in embarrassment. "Hi, we met at Zoey's birthday."

"She's why you broke up with Alyssa? You're sleeping with your employee!"

"Is that what this is about? Alyssa? Did she tell you she was sleeping with some photographer? And Ariane has nothing to do with why Alyssa and I broke up. Can you just take a seat first?"

"Who knows what you were doing on those chairs.." she said sitting on Nick's seat.

"I'll leave you two alone. Excuse me.." I said when Nick held my hand. I smiled and squeezed his hand knowing he wanted to say something and left the office.

I walked to my office and took a bunch of candy and shoved it in my mouth. I took a brush out of my purse and brushed my hair.

She really doesn't like me? Do I look slutty? I have no idea why. Everyone always likes me. Most of the time..

It was still bugging me but I tried to do my work and reschedule all of Nick's appointments. They've been in there for more than 3 hours and I can't hear anything. What are they talking about ? It was already time for my break so I sent him a text message.

A:Going for lunch. Ttyl?

I waited for him to reply and in few minutes he replied

N: Take the rest of the day off. I have a meeting at my parent's later today. A: Okay

He didn't reply after that. Nothing else? He's being so dry. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. I don't want to be a clingy girlfriend. I decided to go to Harry's office for a long overdue explanation on this whole Cami thing. I grabbed my jacket and left the office. I hailed a cab and got to King Enterprises.

"Um, Hi.. I'd like to see Mr King." I told the secretary from the last time and she looked at me disgustingly.

"Do you have an appointment?" She asked popping her gum.

"I don't. But tell him Ariana is here..he knows me"

"Hmm. Don't believe you. Bye bitch" she said turning to face her laptop and I fumed. I took out my phone and called Harry. He picked up on the third ring.

"Princess.." he said on the other line. "Harry. I'm downstairs and the receptionist won't let me in. We have to talk." I told him and I watched her eyes widened before she faced her computer again, probably thinking I was bluffing.

"I'll send my bodyguard for you." He said and I said a small thank you and hung up. A few minutes later, One of the guys that held me when I first came here walked to me. He looked really scary and so huge.

"Miss Arianna Rodstein?" He said in a deep voice and I nodded. "That's me." "Come right this way. Dina, you can pack your things. You're fired."

"What?" She shrieked looking surprised and angry. I felt bad for her. "You bitch!

This is all your fault." She said shooting a bottle of water at me and I dunked on time. I walked away with his bodyguard behind me.

I got into Harry's office to see him sitting on his table with a glass of scotch(I'm guessing) in his hand.

"Leave us Kane." He said waving his hand dismissively at the bodyguard behind me.

"You didn't have to fire her." I started as I put my bag on his couch. He put his glass down and smiled.

"Won't you give me a kiss princess? Or are kisses reserved for DeMorgane?" He said bitterly. I took a step towards him and he looked at me with his mouth in a thin line. "What do you want Ariana ?"

"Answers. You're not telling me the whole story here and I'm not satisfied with it." I told him boldly and he pulled me by my waist to his chest. I was shocked and tried getting out of his embrace but he would not let me.

"I have something that can definitely satisfy you princess. Way more than Nick." he said and I was repulsed and disgusted at his remark.

"See , that's what I wanna know. Why is it always a competition between you two?

I don't get it. And get your hands off me! Now!" I said and he released me and hissed. He moved around and took a seat. I sat across him.

"I've probably repeated this like a hundred times. Just do your job , don't ask me questions."

"Yeah yeah. You've already used your ace here. I have nothing else to lose huh? Threaten me all you want. I'm not leaving until I get some answers on why you're doing all this. Or are just lonely and bored and idle and umm.. jealous ?" I taunted and he frowned and I knew he was getting upset. I was getting to him. Good.

"You're right. I am jealous. Wanna know why? Sure. I'll tell you the whole story." "You can skip the Cami part. Nick told me already.." I told him rolling my eyes

although I remembered him talking about kissing Cami when I stayed over with him.

He smiled and I looked at him quizzically

"You see, That's the essential part princess. Camila Brooke. It's all because of her but of course , it's now because of you but before that, it was all because of Cami."

"I don't understand.. she was engaged to Nick.."

"But she didn't love him. She loved me. We loved each other but Nick snatched her away from me. Despite all her attempts to tell him off , he was persistent. And like the greedy little bitch she was, she stayed with him because he had way more money. She loved the publicity, the fashion shows, the expensive gifts and all that. I could offer it all to her , but Nick could triple it. Why would she go for the lesser friend? But she loved me so she decided to see me in secret. I was stupid though, so I said yes. We were dating behind his back."

"The thing is..Nick might seem like the victim here.." he stood up and walked around the table and I looked at him. "But it's very much his fault. Everyone else could see that she didn't like him, he knew it as well. But he didn't want to believe it. He stuck around and even asked her to marry him. Marry him! What a dumb fuck."

I won't lie though. He's always been better. He had the perfect family while mine was divorced, better grades and of course.. my girl was dating him. And his company? It was just fucking handed down to him while I built this from the fucking ground. And he's such a selfish son of a bitch. He would talk all about his successful life but would question how I am doing. If my business is booming . I could be fucking dying and he would only show up to the hospital with some flowers and shit. He's an asshole. Selfish spoilt brat."

"And his biggest weakness was been his heart. Always been, always will. He would steal for Cami and he'd probably kill for you. Hell, even I'd kill for you but do you know what that idiot caused me? Happiness. I was fucking happy with Camila but he had to ruin it. Maybe it was stupid to make a sex tape with her but it was fucking smart not to have my face in it. "

I was appalled. That was such a petty reason to have his heart broken again.

that's absolutely no reason to do this! You're heartless . And is that what you call love? Seeing her in secret ? You're unbelievable."

"Well he's the cause she lost our baby!" He yelled and my heart stopped.

"What?" I whispered and he clenched his fists. " She was pregnant. And Nick kept putting pressure on her to plan the stupid wedding while he was running the company. Then when that sex tape leaked at their engagement party,she ran out and got hit and lost the baby. All his fucking fault."

Y-you can't blame him for that Harry. I'm sure he didn't plan for that to happen.." I said when I saw the tears in his eyes. "I-I'm sorry for you loss..."

"But wanna know who else shares the blame? Your sister. Tamara was my PA and she sent that clip to Nick's mother , who by the way, hated Cami. Of course, she didn't plan on showing the whole world her son's betrayal but you know how it is..and when I fired your annoying sister, she stole money from me and ran." He said and

chuckled a little.

"Of course , you should know, I would never let her get away with that. Not after what she did . Hence you, the payback for her sins. Too bad I fell for you.." he said holding my arm and I shook my head trying to wrap it around all he just said.

"That impossible. Tammy would never steal. She made a mistake sending it to Nick's mom but she would never ever steal. I know that!" I told him shaking my head.

"That's the truth. You best believe it.." he said touching my hair and I looked at him. I smiled at him and stood up.

"Um, thanks for telling me. I should take my leave now......Again , I'm sorry for your loss." I said about to leave when he held my arm.

"I meant what I said. I would do anything for you, of course, after our deal is over." He said and smiled. Did he expect me to smile back? I nodded and left his office.

I left his building and hailed a cab back to my house.

I'm in one sick mess. All these secrets are giving me a migraine.. I thought to myself as I looked at the buildings in the cab.

Damn Ari! Good luck getting out of this rabbit hole.
