Mia was burning with anger by the time her cab pulled to a stop in front of Bryan's penthouse. She had had to cancel her date because of the books he had asked her to get. She had gone from one bookstore to the other searching for it, and by the time she finally found it, the time was far spent already. She didn't need to knock since she knew his passcode already in case of any emergency, so she unlocked the door herself and walked into his apartment. She pasted a stiff smile on her face as she…-

Tom stepped out of the shower with a towel tied around his waist and another in his hand which he used to dry his hair as he walked over to the bed to pick up his phone which had been ringing all the while he was in the shower. The missed calls were from Harry and Bryan. He dialed Bryan's number and connected the phone to his airpod before leaving the phone on the bed and walking over to the drawer to pick a boxer and shirt. "Sorry I missed your call. I was in the shower when you called," Tom explained…

"By the way, I was going to ask you why you picked out just Bounty chocolates earlier," Tom said, sparing her a glance as he drove them home. "Because it is the only chocolate I enjoy, probably because of the coconut in it," Lucy explained, and picked up her phone when she received a text notification from Harry. "I see." 'Reminder That You're To Resume At The CEO's Office Tomorrow Morning' Lucy sighed as she read the text. "What is wrong?" Tom asked on hearing her sigh. "I should probably…

Lucy tilted her head back and blinked at Tom, "Ground rules? What ground rules?" She asked as though she was struggling to understand and keep up with what he was saying. One end of Tom's lips twitched, "Yeah. You only get to ask a question once. And you can't continue from where you stopped or generate another question from my response," Tom said and Lucy rolled her eyes. "How boring," She muttered as Tricia returned to their table with their drink. "Thanks," Both Tom and Lucy told her before she…

The place looked somewhat old-fashioned but modern at the same time. Someone was on the stage singing and playing the guitar, while others conversed with their partners at their various tables while drinking whatever they had in their glasses. "I have a favorite spot where I like to sit and enjoy the view," Tom said as he led the way to a table at the distal end of the hall. Lucy noticed that from where they sat they could see almost every part of the bar. "Cool, right?" Tom asked when he noticed she…

"I'm still waiting," Lucy reminded him after some time. Tom turned to spare her a glance before clearing his throat, "Okay. About two weeks ago someone referred me to her for a plumbing job. That was how I met her for the first time. I helped her fix her kitchen sink which was clogged. I don't think she is married," Tom said confidently. "Oh! But shouldn't you know her name if you visited her home and worked for her?" Lucy asked thoughtfully. "I suppose I was too smitten by her beauty to remember…

Lucy stared at Tom with a slightly raised brow when she opened her door and saw him standing there, dressed in a pair of blue jeans trousers and a black polo t-shirt that showed off his muscled arms, "You're going somewhere?" "Not just me. We are going out. I want us to hang out," Tom said with a harmless smile as he let his eyes roam over her body. She was barefooted, and unlike most ladies he knew, her toenails were not painted. She was wearing an oversized long-sleeved top on black leggings trousers.…

Lucy pursed her lips as she considered his question. He really seemed easygoing, and it was obvious he was trying to make her relax and be friendly towards him. She didn't want to seem stand-offish or appear as though she was looking down on him, so for that reason, she decided to play along. "Well, I can't exactly tell which I prefer, since both seem to pass a different message. I think it basically depends on who you are on the inside," she said, tapping the left side of her chest to demonstrate that…

Lucy was startled by the sudden vibration and sound of her ringtone. She picked it up and smiled when she realized it was her dad, "Hey handsome!" She greeted with a wide smile, making Tom look at her through the rearview mirror. Handsome? He mused. "How is my princess doing?" Her father asked with a grin. "It's barely two days and I miss you already," Lucy complained with a pout. "We miss you too, but we are glad you're on your own now. Maybe you'd finally meet a decent young man out there and…

Unlike the others who were happily exiting the company premises the moment it was closing hour, Lucy felt like a kid who had been separated from her favorite toy. She didn't like that she was leaving the building without any document to work on at home. How was she supposed to pass her spare time? Maybe she needed to find a bookstore and get herself some books to read, and maybe she could also stop by a grocery store and stock her refrigerator, Lucy thought as she stepped out of the building and looked…
