CHAPTER 15
“Could we possibly eat out so we could talk?” Selene asks Zach who looks dumbfounded. He nods almost immediately.
“Uh.. alright Selene, give me a second… I’d just go freshen up” He gets off the chair and strides hastily to the bathroom. Selene smirks inwardly as Wayne shuts the door quietly. He run his finger down his hair and sighs. Zach needs to be careful or he might get into a huge mess with Selene.

“I love the suite sugar… you’ve got nice taste for stuffs like this” Selene says truthfully as she lean on the railings and look down at the busy city. Zach is a cool guy she could tell from the way he stared at her. Surely he wanna bed her but he looks like someone who wants more than just sex, probably a relationship. godammit!.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“Thanks Selene…” Zach smiles as he hands her a glass of cocktail. He never believed Selene would come to his office. Hell, he never believed she’d propose to go out on a date with him too. He stands beside her and watch her sip her drink. She turns to look at him as she gives him a small smile. There and then he wished he could cup her face and kiss her plump looking lips.
“So sugar did you plan on leaving my text unanswered?” She stared right at him and he chuckles.
“Hell no Selene!. I never stopped thinking about you. I was a bit embarrassed about that night’s incidence. I think I needed courage to face you once more” He sip at his drink and Selene shrugs and a short silence follows.
“Your secretary… what’s his name” Selene asks as she bite down her lip, remembering how surprised he had looked on seeing her. Seeing him again had made goose bumps creep up her skin and had made her want him all the more. Only that she wanted something more intense than lust. Zach itches his head, slightly annoyed at the change of topic.
“His name is Wayne… Wayne Anderson” He voice out and she nods. Wayne… sounds cute. She walk back into the living room as Zach trailed behind her. She sets the empty glass on the table and turns to meet Zach gaze. She ambled towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“So sugar…. What do you want from me” She tilt her head as she stared right at him seductively. Zach wraps his arm around her tiny waist as his breathing goes ragged.
“I want you Selene” He says huskily. She smirks and thread her fingers in his hair.
“Are you ready to give in to whatever request I make?” She says lowly.
“Anything Selene…. anything… so long as I have you” He dips his head as he kisses her. Selene smirks inwardly as he lifts her up. She curls her legs around him as she kissed back. Zach groans in pleasure as he walks to the bedroom, his lips not leaving hers. She giggles against his mouth as he slowly drops her on the bed.
“Let me ruin you sugar… I’d ride on you instead” She smirks as Zach takes off his shirt and slacks till he was clad in his boxer briefs. Selene sucks on her lower lips as Zach resumes kissing her. He flipped her till she was straddling him. Selene smirked and takes off her shirt. Now she’s gotten Zach, and that’s all it’s gonna take to have Wayne.
“I’m gonna ride you to the heavens sugar” She smirked as she slide her palm into his boxer briefs. She giggled at the dark look he gives her when her fingers curl around his hardened length.

Selene leans against the headboard and pulled the duvet to cover her nude self. She run her hand to tame her tangled locks of hair as she watched Zach sleep beside her. His loud snores a reminder of how tired he was. She chuckled and swung her legs out of the bed. She stride to the cabinet, clutching the duvet to herself as she pour herself a glass of non alcoholic drink. He’s freaking good but as usual she couldn’t moan. She wasn’t doing this out of pleasure anyways. She returns back to the bed and puts on her top. She slide her feet into her suit pants. Now she’s gotten Zach. He really couldn’t refuse any of her requests, not after she had used her powers on him.
Zach groans as he flutter his eyes open. He sits up and stare at Selene staring at him. Beautiful as ever, she was perfect in what she did and hell it was the best sex he’d ever had. He knew he’d never forget this day, and he also knew he’d always beg for more from her.
“Hey” He says tiredly and leans in to kiss her but she shrugs away. Zach sighs and run his hand through his hair. it was normal for some ladies to feel cranky after sex.
“So sugar…. I’d make my request now” She walk to the makeup table and pick up a brush, running it through her hair. Zach shoves his legs into his boxer briefs and picks up his phone from the nightstand. He stared at the screen. lots of missed calls.. all from Wayne. goddammit. It’s evening already. Selene wraps her hair into a bun and turn to stare at Zach.
“Whatever you want Selene…. I’d do my best to give it to you” He couldn’t bear to stay off from her again. He’d do anything to please her.
“Good to hear. It’s pretty simple. I want Wayne as my secretary” She smirk at him as his face turns sour.
“Huh!??… Wayne” He voice out in surprise. Selene strides towards him and hugs herself.
“Yeah sugar…. do all you can to make him work for me… and we are gonna have lots and lots of dates” She arch her brows as she stared down at him. Zach chug down his drink. damnit Wayne has been his guard and secretary for so long he’s become used to it. He couldn’t bear the thought of loosing him. He rake his hands at his and stare up at Selene who had a huge smirk on her face. He sighed, knowing he couldn’t refuse her. He just couldn’t.
“Alright….. though Wayne has been a diligent worker, I’d let him go…. just for you” He acquiesced. Selene stops herself from smiling and shrugs.
“I’m counting on you… don’t let me down” She takes her pearl purse and slides her feet into her heels.
“Umm… I’d drop you off” He gets off the bed and shrugs on his shirt.
“Don’t bother… I’m calling my driver” She says icily. Zach gives her a quizzical look, wondering why she sounds so cold.
“Alright Selene… goodnight”He conceded but she was striding out of the door already, leaving him with the feminine fragrance of her cologne and a resolve to keep her to himself.

Wayne paced to and fro Zach’s office, absently raking his hand at his hair and cussing endlessly. Where the heck has he gone off too. Probably with Selene doing God knows what. Was he that caught up that he couldn’t reply any of his calls?. He shoves his phone down his pant pocket and stride out of the office. Tried as he could, he couldn’t shake off the bad feeling sticking to him like a leach. He takes the elevator for the last for.
The elevator slides open and he steps out into the noisy lobby. He smiles in greetings at the many workers in office cubicles. His phone rings and he pulls it out to stare at the screen. He cusses as Zach’s contact displays on the screen. He swipes at the answer icon.
“Boss…” He says through clenched teeth.
“Hey Wayne… we need to talk” Tiredness laces his voice.
“Alright boss… were should we meet?” Wayne hear him sigh lowly.
“I’d text you the address” He replies. He nods and hangs up. What the hell is going on with Zach. His phone dings and he checks the address Zach sent him. He walks out of the building and stop a a cab. He slide in and tells the cabman the address. He leans back into his seat as his mind unconsciously drifts to Selene. Seeing her today had triggered something in him. He wanted to see more of her. Though he hated her personality, seeing her seems to make him forget that
The car pulls up minutes later in front of a club entrance. He steps out and thrust few dollar bills at the driver before striding into the club. He finds Zach sitting at the bar and a glass of drink in front of him. He sits on the stool beside him.
“Evening boss” He watches Zach tired face.
“Wayne …. what would you like to have” He asks as he signals to the barman.
“Tequila” He tells the barman who nods and turn to fix his drink.
“She was beautiful Wayne” Zach says as he takes a gulp from his drink. He doesn’t know why but the thought that Zach bedded her makes him angry.
“I guess you’re really happy now… and you can focus more on work now huh” Wayne tries to conceal the anger in his voice. The barman slides the drink towards him and Wayne gives him a thumbs up as he takes a swig. Zach chuckles.
“Damn… work, that’s the reason I called you” Wayne sets his drink back on the counter. Thankfully the club wasn’t full yet and the music was low.
“You won’t be working for me anymore Wayne” Zach deadpans. Wayne fingers tighten around the glass.
“what the fuck do you mean boss!” He stared at Zach in disbelief. Zach rakes his hand at his hair and sighs.
“I’m not firing you Wayne… you’d be working for another person instead” Wayne dilates his eyes and he could only think of one person. Selene. Wayne scoffs and shakes his head.
“Don’t tell me it’s Selene I’m gonna be working for” He says through clenched teeth. Zach heaves wearily.
“That’s the only way I can be with her again Wayne. It’s only if you work for her” Wayne growls and pushes the drink aside. What the fuck does she want from him.
“I warned you boss… she’s too much for you. You’ve been overly obsessed with her and she’s making you go crazy!” Wayne grits out in anger.
“I’m sorry Wayne but I can’t just help it. I know I’ve been one big jerk of a boss but I need you one this one” Wayne rakes his hand at his hair as he groans. Zach is totally crazy.
“Hell no boss… that’s not gonna happen. I think you’ve been drinking too much… ”
“… No Wayne!.. for fuck sake I’m not drunk” Zach expound struggling to keep the desperation out of his voice.
“You need to help me on this Wayne… name your pay and I’m ready to double it… ” Wayne stared at Zach wondering what happened to him. He missed the old Zach. Who was always joshing him and who flirted with lots of women. Now his whole world seems to revolve around Selene. Wayne chugs down his drink and gets off the stool.
“I’m not leaving you to work for her boss. She should find another…. ” He shot Zach an angry look and before he could protest he was striding out of the club. Zach has gone bonkers. And it’s certainly gonna make him loose focus on his company. His phone rings as he stops on the sidewalks. He brings it out and Fiona name displays on the screen. She barely calls unless it’s important.
“Hey little one” Wayne says with a smile as he answers the call. There was a pause, then a sniffle.
“Wayne… I’m at the hospital… with Mom” Her voice sounds like one who’s been crying.
“What’s the problem Fiona… is mom okay?” He asks in alarm.
“I’m afraid she isn’t… She’s unconscious… and it’s looks bad. I’m so scared” Her voice falters and she’s crying. Wayne puffs out a breath, trying to stay calm.
“Calm down Fiona… I’m coming over now” He ends the call as he stops a cab. He slides in and shut the door aggressively. Mom’s gotta be strong for him. He couldn’t bear loosing her…. and he’d do anything to make sure she’s safe.
