Her, his desire

Mia rushed into Sadie’s office panting heavily like someone who just ran a marathon. ” Are you okay Mia? Why are you running?”

Sadie asked staring at her. What can be pursuing her that way huh? ” It’s Sofia ” Mia replied with her hand on her chest calming herself. Sadie gazed at her with a confused look. She doesn’t understand a thing from the two words Mia uttered even after processing them. ” Sofia? Who’s Sofia?” Sadie asked dropping her book and paper giving her full attention to Mia. She haven’t come across someone bearing such name before, that she doesn’t know of. ” Sofia Huang! She’s this agency’s most wanted model. The pride of LBC since I stepped into this company ”

Mia sighed and Sadie’s face turned neutral. She narrowed her at Mia gesturing to her ‘ how is this related to why you ran in ‘ ” She’s not someone to mess with” Mia sighed again massaging her temple. ” While I was leaving your office, I over heard her plotting against you on how to take you out of LBC ” she added watching Sadie’s reaction but to Mia’s amusement,

Sadie’s face was calm as ever. Isn’t she supposed to freak out? Why is she so calm like she doesn’t care ? A lot of questions ran through Mia’s mind but Sadie’s voice interrupted her. ” I don’t get why she will want me out of here, we haven’t crossed parts before ” Sadie replied calmly thinking of any scenario that she might have possibly met the Sofia lady in the past but found none. ” she thinks you took the CQ Magazines endorsement from her, if not for your arrival. She would have been the one to get endorsed ” Mia explained and Sadie chuckled. Seriously? Mia blinked her eyes in confusion. Few minutes ago, Sadie was the one confused but now her. There’s no attitude Sadie displays that will not amaze her. She’s been serious here because she knows to what length Sofia can go to get whatever she wanted and Sadie’s laughing it off? ” Its not funny Sadie, we need to do something to protect you. Sofia is very dangerous ”

She said worriedly.. ” Thank goodness you are here Mia, sit down let’s talk business and forget about whatever Sofia is planning till she shows it. Don’t worry sit ” Mia did as instructed with her gaze not leaving Sadie’s. Sadie is really someone she needs to study. When she speaks, she speak with so much confidence.

Sadie Meyers, who are you really? Mia shook her head from the thought, she needs to concentrate for the time being and she’s glad Sadie’s tone is more softer on her than an hour ago. Sadie sat down with a signature smirk plastered on her face. She can’t really explain why she’s feeling excited at the thought ” You haven’t tell me where the photoshoot is taking place” Sadie said but Mia find it so hard to reply, she felt like her tongue was tied!

She barely hear what Sadie said because her mind was wandering somewhere else. ” Mia?” Sadie called jolting her to reality. ” Hmm! Sorry, what were you saying?” Mia asked . ” I was asking where the shoot is taking place tomorrow ” she answered. ” I totally forgot to tell you, I am really sorry. Its within but in city S ” Sadie nodded in understanding, at least not out of America. City S is not fa from were they are which is City Y. ” Okay, you can go back to your office ” Mia stood up with her thinking faculty blank not knowing how else she is suppose to convince Sadie about Sofia. That lady is very dangerous. More dangerous than she looks. Mia is afraid! Afraid that she does anything she wants here, if she wants it blue, it must be blue.

That’s Sofia Huang! ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ All the board members exchanged curious glances without saying anything. What will make their CEO Mr Nathan so out of the world? Eighty percent of his attention was not with them and he was the one that called for the meeting. He look so happy. The smile that tug on his lips didn’t go unnoticed by then. What happened to their boss? Hardly will you see him smile but here he is rolling on his chair, staring into space and smilling to himself. A lot of them had huge questions dancing through their minds but they dare not reveal a thing. They wouldn’t risk getting fired by meddling in their boss’s affair. ” Mr…. Nathan?’ ” one of them mustered some courage and called him. Nathan unconsciously played with the desk in front of him like a child and their eyes widened. Something’s definitely wrong, this is the very first time their boss is behaving this way in front of them. Nathan realized what he just did and shrugged. Not everyday they will see him in a good mood like today. Only Sadie and his family are entitled to see this side of him. No one else. He’s been so engrossed in thinking about his Sadie. He just can’t wait for this three coming weeks, he can’t wait to make her officially his. Her innocent and calm face appeared. That moment, he long for her presence. Gosh! He really can’t wait for 6pm to go pick her up. Nathan glanced through the hall to see that he was still in a meeting. A meeting he called but haven’t said anything aside exchanging of pleasantries. He totally have forgotten whatever he called them for. His face turned cold, the aura that came immediately made the employees so composed. This is the Nathan Rogers they know. They all kept quiet, a pin drop could be heard if it falls. ” The meeting is cancelled, I will call you all again when I am ready. You can leave ” Without being told twice, they bowed and left one by one. ” Jim ” Nathan called his personal assistant. ” Yes Sir ” Jim bowed respectfully.

He has being Nathan’s personal assistant for a long time now . ” I need you to buy the lastest phone for me, the least it can be is a week out of date. Buy it no matter how expensive it is. Got it? ”

Nathan instructed. Jim nodded a little taken aback, what did he need a new phone for ? He has like three expensive phone and all was bought within last month. ” Yes Sir ” Jim bowed his head and left. Its none of his business anyways and if it’s for someone, he will definitely find out. Nathan stood up and went straight to his office with the thought of how he met Sadie for the first time. She was his night in shinning amor. His princess charming. But why couldn’t she recognize him? Each time he remember how Sadie saved him that night from dying for the second time, he couldn’t help but wonder how she is a superwoman yet bullied by her own family then. ★ flashback ★ Nathan drove into the city. The street lights shone brightly. He feels so frustrated, drained of energy.

Nathan woke up earlier and he couldn’t sleep, the nightmare kept occuring. Everything that happened before he went into coma hunt him so badly each time he lay to sleep. How he got into an accident, the pains, the sufferings. Everything tormented him each night. Instead of staying in his study all night, he decided to take a drive around the city for the first time since he woke up. He wouldn’t let his chauffeur drive him and he wouldn’t let Kaleb follow him.

Nathan wants to be alone. He loves his peace and privacy. The traffic free night added to his peace as he drove with no car interrupting him or something. He continue driving without caring about where he was heading to. If this will make him escape his mental fight then, he wouldn’t mind driving to nowhere. After ten minutes drive, Nathan heard something hit his car and the car came to a stop abruptly. The car was very fine before he left so what now? Nathan came down from the car to check what was wrong with it. He opened the bonnet but he didn’t find anything wrong with it. Getting to his car to carry his phone to call Kaleb, he was ambushed by some set of guys. ” Get on your knees” they hit him so hard that he fell in their middle. Nathan wasn’t strong enough, he’s just recovering ” What did I do? ” Nathan asked calmly holding his stomach. If not for the fact that he’s still recovering and one of them were holding a gun pointed on his head, he would have kicked them out.

Didn’t they know who he is? ” Ask God that when you meet him in heaven ” The one holding gun replied as he pull the trigger. Nathan closed his eyes waiting for the worse to happen. He escaped death the first time and now? He’s really going to die?

Who could be so after his life huh? ” Don’t ” a female voice rang among them. Nathan quickly opened his eyes to see a young lady standing and staring at the four boys from one to another. They all gave a wicked laugh staring at her. A little beauty like her telling them to stop their operation? ” Who are you to tell us to stop little beauty? ” One of them asked. The young lady walked boldly to them with her arms crossed. ” What if we strike a deal? Will you let him go unhurt?” She bargained fearlessly which amused them. Nathan forgot the pain in his stomach as he focus on the bold lady in front of him. How did she think she’s going to save him from this hefty boys? Isn’t she endangering her life? But truthfully, her courage is one in a million. He’s never seen someone like her. The four of them exchange glances with a smirk. ” A deal? State it first ” The one with gun said. He was standing close to Nathan so he wouldn’t try to escape and with the way they surrounded him, any wrong step, he will be dead! So Nathan sat on the floor there quietly. ” what if I give you my body in exchange of letting him go?” The lady said seductively walking from each to another. She stopped by the one with a gun. Her hand flew to his chest and he began rubbing him ever so gently. He couldn’t help but let out a moàn. The man looked at others as they spoke through their eyes. He smiled and grabbed the lady by the waist. ” It wouldn’t be bad to have a taste of a beautiful lady like you. We were sent actually but we can let him go for you ” He licked his lips lustfully staring down at her body. His mind drifted away from Nathan focusing all his attention on the lady. When the lady was sure that the man’s whole mind was with her. She kicked him in the place were the sun doesn’t shine and the gun came flying to her hand.

How stupid! They all fell on their knees with their eyes widened. A woman just tricked them?

How did this happen? Unknown to them, she was oblivious of how to use a gun but with the way she was perfectly holding it and pointing it at them, they all thought she would scatter their heads without thinking twice. ” Lie flat on the floor, if you make any move, I will pieces your head”

She warned authoritatively. If they had known, they wouldn’t have carried only a gun. To them, killing Nathan Rogers will be very easy since he was with no guard but here, a lady just used their head. They did as instructed not taking any chance of dying. ” Get into your car and leave ” she said to Nathan who sat frozen in one place.

How the hell did she do it? After what seems like forever, he composed himself and stood up. ” Tha….” ” Leave ” he was interrupted by her voice. Nathan quickly entered his car fortunately, the car roared back to life but he didn’t move. The lady began retreating back with her gun still pointed at them. In no time, she disappeared out of sight. Nathan turned his car to the direction she ran into but she was no where in sight He didn’t get to say a thank you to her. She saved him and left just like that. She left!Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
