Myra’s POV


    I woke up and squinted my eyes as the heavy rays of sunlight streamed through the open windows. I stretched forward, closed the curtains, and plopped back on the bed. I was tired from all the stress from work yesterday. I reached for my phone and peered at it. It was past 7 in the morning and I had missed calls from Damian.


    Howe I didn’t hear it ring, holding my forehead and yawning loudly. I remember putting it on silent so my sleep won’t be disturbed.


    I finally got out of bed and walked up to the mirror, I noticed I had some breakouts on my face, which means my menstrual period will be out soon. I raked my hand through my tangled long brte hair, then took out my toothbrush and brushed my teeth, and proceeded to shower. I applied shampoo to detangle my hair and rinsed it off. After having a clean bath, I stepped out of the bathroom and applied my body lotion and scented oils then proceeded to the closet and picked up a beige-colored in dress with short sleeves that stopped just above my knees. It was a hot morning so I didn’t bother with a coat. I slipped into ck heels and styled my hair in a sleek ponytail and slightly touched up my face with little makeup and applied a shimmery nude gloss to my lips. I went to the mirror to look at my reflection, feeling satisfied with my look I picked up my ck clutch bag and left. I stopped by Aria’s room to check on her and also inquired from her nanny if they will be needing anything after sorting them out. I left the house and drove to the office.


    I walked into Graham’s Company at exactly 8. 00 am on the dot, I was confident and ready to face my job and also determined to convince Damian. I got to thest floor and decided to go make his coffee first since his office door was slightly open. I figured out he was around.


    I hurriedly dropped my bag on the desk and ran inside the mini kitchen to prepare his coffee.


    After making his coffee, I knocked on his door and waited for his approval before entering


    “Are you going to stand there all day” he yelled from inside


    Silly me I have already forgotten there is a CCTV in his office so he sees everything that is happening in and around the building.


    I came in with his coffee in my hand, ” Good morning Dami, your coffee please”


    ” Don’t call me that, Call me Boss” He looked at me and scoffed


    “Good morning Boss, here is your coffee”


    “It’s cold, make another,” He said without looking at the mug or touching it.


    “But I just made the coffee and it’s still hot, you can have a sip before you conclude,” I said in a soothing voice


    ” Do you have a problem with getting another cup of coffee?” Damian said in his icy voice. His voice was filled with so much authority


    I shook my head but noticed he won’t be able to see because he is busy working on hisptop, I quickly answered him when he tapped on the desk indicating he was waiting for my reply


    ” No Boss”


    He looked up and stared at me intently before saying “You don’t dare question my orders, when next you try it, I won’t hesitate to throw you out” His aura was so calm yet deadly.


    ” Sorry Boss, I raced off immediately to get another coffee ready,


    ” Your coffee boss”


    ” Too light, make another”


    I went off to make yet another coffee


    “No sugar, don’t add sugar to this one, it’ll be cold already, just make another one.”


    I stood there looking at him with anger visibly shown on my face, why is he intentionally stressing me


    “Why are you not leaving, are you tried already” he sneered


    I slowly walked out of his office with tears streaming down my face. At this point I was burning with annoyance, the confidence I walked into the building with this morning had been drained down the plunge.


    “Your coffee Boss,” I said one final time and was relieved when he said I could go


    “Pheww”


    I sat in my space, trying to concentrate on the work I had to do, and finally deciding that I couldn’t concentrate, I decided to distract myself and make a cup of coffee for myself. I got up and went into the mini kitchen and made a brewed coffee for myself and headed back to my space only to realize I had missed a call from Damian. Should I return the call or just head to his office?


    I knocked twice and opened the door, and met Damian on call, he looked and motioned with his hands for me to hold on, I stood there staring at him like a fool, admiring him. Damian was d in a ck Armani suit, with an expensive golden wristwatch that was worth millions of dors on his wrist. He was looking as handsome as ever. I didn’t even notice when he dropped the call.


    ” You have a degree in staring you know right” he taunted


    “Sorry I got carried away” I apologized and he looked at me and grinned.


    ” I have a meeting with Lawsonpany in the next 30 minutes, you have to apany me to the meeting, I’d need you to take the necessary information regarding what we conclude on in the meeting, understood?”


    ” Yes Boss”


    ” Good, clear your desk, get your materials, and we leave in 20 minutes”


    “Alright Boss”


    I headed back to my space and arranged my desk, picked up all I needed, rearranged my looks, and went to stand by the door to his office so I would leave together with him.


    Immediately I got to his door, he opened the door and asked us to move.


    It wasn’t even 20 minutes yet


    We got into the elevator and he punched in, the floor we were headed towards


    Suddenly he turned towards me and I stepped by and my back hit the elevator wall. He moved so close that I thought he was going to kiss me, but he didn’t


    Instead, he touched my gown and said


    ” You look beautiful, the color suits you perfectly.”


    I was baffled by hispliment, he has neverplimented my looks before what happened, this is where I get to tap myself to be sure I’m not dreaming.


    Was it because the gown is tight and short which is making all my curves to be on disy?


    We finally arrived at the middle floor and proceeded to the conference hall for the meeting. We settled in and waited for the arrival of the clients.


    A young gentleman and a petitedy arrived. She looked like the secretary from the way she was holding flies and other essentials just like me and the young man with her was on call and had his back to us. From his back view, you can tell that his body’s physique is nicely adorned.


    He turned and I was shocked to find out that Lawson’s  Company belonged to Marcus, the wealthy and the most handsome dude back then in college.” What a small world ”


    He was still very handsome and his skin is slightly tan and he has a beautifulbination of facial features. He has a ck trimmed curly ck. He looked like one of those Greek gods.


    Immediately his stormy gray eyesnded on me, he sprinted and hugged me tightly while smiling and rubbing my back. I was surprised by his actions but it has been a while, so a friendly hug isn’t that bad. He released me and gently cupped my cheeks with his hands while gazing into my eyes


    “Where have you been Myra,” he asked


    “Uhh. Umm… I stuttered


    He smiled and ced his index finger down on my lips and said ” You seem tense, don’t worry we will talk about it some other time. He touched my hair and said you’re still looking extremely beautiful, or I should say you got more pretty.


    I thanked him and smiled shyly and blushed a little. He cupped my chin again and said ” Myra, your smile hasn’t changed, you still have the most beautiful smile, and this beige color suits your skin perfectly. And your eyes I love the almond shape of your eyes, the way your eyes turn up is so alluring and incredibly beautiful. Marcus hasn’t changed a bit and he is still too ttery with words.


    Iughed so hard that I forgot myself and leaned into his body while hitting my hands on his chest. He also held me tight while weughed together forgetting we came for an important meeting.


    Unexpectedly Damian yanked my hand off Marcus and pushed me to his side and grasped my hand firmly,


    ” Are you here for the meeting, or have you nned to have a lil meet and greet with my wife?” he growled and tightened his grip.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    I opened my mouth and tried to exin that Marcus is my college mate instead he pinched my chin and said


    ” Why are you meddling, the question is not for you so just shut the fuck up”


    “And you don’t need to speak till you are asked to. Do you understand me, woman?” He stared at me in disgust and released me.


    I can still feel how tight his grip was on my hand. I’m hurt by what he did but I can not do anything because I love him dearly, I stepped back from him while trying to hold the tears from streaming down my eyes. I veered around and met Marcus staring at me as if he was in pain and his eyes had this tenderness in them.


    Is Marcus Lawson still in love with me? Why is he looking at me as if he’s in pain?


    Why is he looking at Damian as if he’s going to devour him any moment?


    I noticed that Damian and Marcus were standing and giving each other a deadly re and it was so obvious that they were trying their best not to start up a brawl. I stood in between them and apologized so they could let go of their differences and proceed with the meeting. Damian’s eyes held the deadliest looks but were still the most beautiful pair of eyes in the world. Almost lost in his eyes, I bowed my head and swallowed hard waiting for him to respond instead he continued staring at Marcus.


    “Sighs” Marcus stretched out his hand for a friendly handshake but Damian ignored him and went to sit down while staring at me. I bent down my head so that I could not see Damian’s face that was already burning with anger.


    Then Marcus went to sit down with his secretary seated beside him, I was still standing when Damian said coldly


    ” Why are you standing there like a statue, are you not joining the meeting”


    I quickly went to sit beside him and took out my material. I don’t want him yelling at me again and making me look stupid.


    ” Let’s go straight to business,” Damian said and Marcus grinned, then opened his briefcase and brought out some papers, and gave them to Damian. These are thend design documents for the new project Marcus said, smiling at Damian as he scrutinized the papers.


    “Are you sure these are theplete papers?”Damian asked as he dropped the papers on the table and Marcus nodded


    The meeting started and they discussed the new project that the twopanies want to emerge together and produce thergest refinery in the country. While they were discussing, I made sure to note down the vital information.


    ” What do you think about the designs?”  “What is your opinion?” Marcus asked cutting short Damian


    Damian picked up the papers on the table and studied the designs intently for a while and then made some corrections while wiping his finger across different parts of the graphic. I looked up and noticed that Marcus was staring at me and his eyes held some kind of emotions and a hint of a smile on his lips.


    I can’t forget that stare, it’s the same way he has always looked at me back then in college.
