“Get on your knees and give me a blow job”
____
Candy scoffed and folded her arms.
“You really thought I would that?” She asked, and the man brows knitted a little.
“What?”
“If you need a blow job so bad then do it yourself” She stated and turn to leave. Diego’s clinched his jaw hard and stood immediately. Taking three long strides he caught and pulled her to himself.
Candy’s head collide with his chest, her eyes met with his cold gaze but she didn’t flinch like she used to. She h@tës the way this man plays with her the way he likes. She is going to stop it.
“You’re getting too bold to cross the line Candy” He utter, how her hand tight.
“You’re hurting me” She whispered, but the man held her tight and wince a little, trying hard to to show her weak side.
“Is it because your storm is cleared? Is that why you think you can act this way?” He asked.
“First you forced me into working with you. You should treat me with respect sir. I’m your wife not a sëx slave” She said.
“Wife is just a label. This is how I am..” He turn her around and pin her to the wall. “Should I just Fuçk you hard until you get back to your senses?” He asked and Candy bit down her lips. Diego saw the fear on her eyes even though she tried to hide it.
He h@tëd that look on her face.
“Fuçk!” He wants to touch her but he was too angry.
“Get back to work” He released her and stepped back to his seat. Candy took a deep breath, she looked at him before leaving.
“Why do I feel like I’ll regret this later on” Candy muttered after entering her office.
‘Is it because your storm is cleared? Is that why you’re acting this way?’ His voice sounded in her head. He seems too angry and she felt conflicted.
____
Jameson walked into the office and found Diego resting his head on his chair. His face was hard and serious. He was angry.
“Did something happened?” Jameson asked stepping closer.
“What took you so long?” Diego asked without opening his eyes.
“Oh, I branched to see Einstein. He’s pretty upset you haven’t come to see him all these while” Jameson said. He continued when he said nothing “What’s up with the cold aura, you’re freaking me out”
“Just go away Jameson. I’m not in mood” Diego said.
“I hope you didn’t forget about the small celebration tonight” Jameson said knowing Diego forgets things like this.
“I didn’t” Diego muttered.

“There’s a celebration?” Candy asked Yazmine as walk to the cloth store together.
“Yeah, how come hardly hear the news in the company” Yazmine said hitting her shoulder gently and they laughed.
“I hardly check my phone, that’s why” Candy replied. “By the way who is this guy following us behind?”
Yazmine stopped and face Aiden, “This is Aiden, he is under me”
“Oh, I almost mistaken him as your boyfriend” Candy smiled awkwardly.
“Tsskk..Aiden is way too younger than me. We can’t be together”
“Age is just a number” Aiden who was quiet the whole time spoke and they both looked at him.
“Wow, I think I know what is going on” Candy chuckled.
“What do you mean?” Yazmine asked Aiden.
“In a relationship. It doesn’t matter if the girl is older than the guy. All that matters is what they feel about each other” Aiden answered with a handsome smile as he stared at her.
Yazmine almost thought he was referring to them. She swallowed and face Candy.
“He is new to the company. We are not together” She said and walked away while Candy follow.
Aiden sighed, pulling out his phone. He clicked on a chat and smile, staring at the lastest message.
*HEY, WHY AREN’T REPLYING THESE DAYS? ARE YOU GOING OUT WITH THE GIRL YOU LIKE AT WORK? HOPE YOU’RE FINE? PLEASE REPLY*
He replied to the message and kept his phone back into his pocket.

The curtain open as Candy made a pose with her lovely gown. Bringing down the shade on her face, she winked at Yazmine.
“Holy Sh|t! What an angel for my brother” Yazmine remarked.
“Urgh, I’m not you brother’s girlfriend. Talking about Jameson, where is he? I hardly see him these days”
“He’s preparing a honeymoon for you”
“Yazmine!”
“Okay fine.. he is just busy that’s all. You can scold him at the small party” Yazmine answered.
“Oh, I can’t wait to see him”
“Why can’t you date my brother? Are you really taken? Who is he, cus I’ve never seen you with a man before” She asked and Candy sighed.
“You’ll get to know him soon”
“Really? I can’t wait. Why can’t you tell me now? I’m so curious” Yazmine said.
“Just know he is a powerful man and handsome. Now, is not the right time to know him. you’ll get to know soon. I promise” Candy said with a smile. “I should try the other dress, give me a minute” She went in again.
Yazmine pulled out her phone and decided to check her messages.
*NO SHE INDIRECTLY REJECTED ME. SORRY FOR REPLYING LATE, I’VE BEEN BUSY*
Yazmine didn’t know when she let out a smile. When she realized, she scolded herself inwardly.
*YOU’LL MEET A GIRL THAT IS WAY BETTER THAN HER. WHY IS YOUR WORK STRESSFUL. WHERE ARE YOU WORKING?*
Yazmine texted and to her surprise, the anonymous guy replied.
*SO YOU CAN COME VISIT ME?*
Yazmine smile again.
*I WANT TO TEACH YOUR BOSS A LESSON FOR STRESSING YOU OUT*
*DON’T WORRY SOMEONE DID THAT ALREADY*
*HUH? WHO DID?*
*THE GIRL I LIKE*
Yazmine paused for a moment and blinked severally. That’s strange. Why does this seems familiar? She turn her head to Aiden who was busy with his phone, with his back rested on the wall. Soon, Aiden looked up to her and she quickly avert her gaze.
Yazmine twitched her lips a little. It can’t be him right?
____
Jameson’s doorbell rang while he was busy drying his hair with a clean towel. Thinking it was the pizza delivery, he opened the door and to his dismay, he saw Jackie standing at his doorstep.
“Oh Sh|t!” He jerked a little.
“I’m not a ghost.. oh gawd” Jackie eyes widened, seeing his wet abs. He only had a towel wrapped around his waist.
“Why are you still staring? And how do you even know here?”
Jackie composed herself.
“I had a friend who can track down anyone. So knowing you’re sick, I should check up on you time to time” She replied.
“You’ve got to be kidding me” Jameson muttered and wanted to shut the door but she held it.
“Is that how to treat a guest?” She asked.
“A guest who doesn’t have some manners is not a guest. You see I’m half naked and you refuse to look away” He stated and Jackie scoffed.
“Why should I look away? Even if you’re completely naked I would do the same”
Jameson was shock by her words, Jackie used the opportunity to walk in forcefully. Her sight caught the beauty of the house and jaw dropped.
“This is too beautiful for a grumpy guy like you to live in” She remarked. Turning she found Jameson standing close to her with a cold look.
“Ahh, don’t sneak up on a guest like that” She snapped.
“You’re no guest. Leave my house”
“Make me” she dared and the man smirked.
In the next moment, Jackie was on Jameson’s shoulder wiggling her arms her legs.
“Let me go!” She yelled.
Getting outside, he dropped her and then lock the door.
“Hey!!” Jackie yelled standing up to her feet. “I shouldn’t have cared about this motherFuçker. I blame it on Einstein” She huffed and left the place.
“Gawd she is crazy” Jameson muttered inside.
___
Candy went straight to Yazmine’s place, so the could go to the small hotel the company had rent for the party.
She had informed Diego through a message but haven’t got a reply from him. Is he still mad at her? Maybe she should have just obeyed him.. no, she need to earn respect from him.
Stepping into the large comfortable apartment, Candy smiled.
“Your place is beautiful” She remarked.
“Really? Thanks” Yazmine said. “What will you like to drink”
“Oh no I’m fi..” before she could finish, Yazmine gave her a glare. “I mean, an orange juice will do”. Hearing this, Yazmine’s smile return.
“Better” She said.
Candy took a deep breath. “Her look can literally kill” she mumbled.

Meanwhile Alexa walked into a cold street and made a call.
“I’m there already, where are you?” She asked the person on the other side.
“There a black car across the street. Come and meet me there” The person ordered. Alexa eyes dart around and spot the black luxurious car.
Getting there, she spot a woman sitting at the back seat and a lady sitting at the front.
‘President’s step mother?’ She thought to herself.
“Get in” Hannah ordered and she obeyed.
“Good evening ma’am.. uhm, how may I help you?” Alexa asked, keeping her gaze low.
“There’s a small party tonight” Hannah turn her head to Alexa and continue. “I want you to do me a small favor and in return. You can ask wh@tëver you want from me”
Alexa’s eyes widened.
After discussing with her for a while, Alexa left.
Venessa immediately turn her gaze to Hannah.
“Is she trustworthy? What if she screw our plans”
“I’m good with selecting desperate people. Don’t worry about her. She’ll do what I ask” Hannah replied.
___
The spacious hall buzzed with employees from both Gonzalez’s and Jefferson’s companies, coming together for a modest celebration marking the merger of the two firms.
Candy couldn’t keep her gaze away from Diego. He was sitting with Jameson.
“He is such a jerk” Jackie muttered beside her. Candy who heard this snapped her head to her.
“Who?” She asked.
“Jameson of course”
“Haha” Candy made an awkward laugh. She thought she was referring to Diego. “Why did you say that?”
“I was trying to act nice but he acted cold”
‘Same here’ Candy thought to herself.
“Do you like him?” Candy asked.
“Hell no” Jackie chuckled.
“Hey guys” Yazmine came to sit with them, dropping three glass of wine on the table.
“I watch them open a fresh wine” Yazmine said Candy smiled.
“Thanks”
A waitress hit her leg on the table and mistakenly poured a drink on Candy.
“You’ve got to be kidding me” Yazmine glared at the waitress.
“I’m so sorry.. I’m sorry Mrs. president” She shivered.
Candy gave Diego a look, he wasn’t looking her side. She was glad.
“You should change your dress. You’ll be call out soon” Yazmine said. “I bought the other dress you tried” she pulled out a box.
With this Yazmine escorted Candy out of the hall. Getting to the dressing room. Candy went in to change while Yazmine waited for her outside.
A guard walked towards Yazmine.
“Someone broke your car miss”
“What?!” Yazmine frowned and followed him. Getting there, she saw it wasn’t hers.
“That’s not mine” Yazmine shook her head
“Sorry, I must have mistaken” He apologized and Yazmine went back to the room, only to find Candy gone. She went back to the hall but didn’t find her.
“Where is she?” She mumbled.
___
Candy opened the door gently and found Alexa breathing hard. After she had finishing dressing up, she saw Alexa who complained of her body reacting weird.
Alexa is her ex supervisor so Candy is bound to be worried.
“We should go to the hospital instead” Candy said.
“No, I just need to have water around me and I’ll be fine” Alexa said in between her breath.
Candy gaze moved to the swimming pool beside them. She sighed worriedly.
“This swimming pool seems deep and I can’t swim” She stated.
“I can’t swim.. either”
“I should call for help”
“Ahh!” Alexa crunched down. Squeezing her face in pain.
“Alexa” Candy rushed to her. Alexa pretend to be falling into the water knowing Candy would grab. Just like she had thought, she did.
Alexa pulled herself up using Candy, adding more force so Candy could lose her balance.
The world seems to stop around Candy as she found herself falling into the water, everything turn blur and she couldn’t breath.
___
“When will he be here?” Diego asked Jameson.
“Old Mavis should be on his way. Let me give him a call” Jameson pulled out his phone and called him.
“Oh grandson. I’ve been trying to reach you. The doctor gave me a call asking for my health. He said shouldn’t go out yet when I told him about the party”
“I’m glad you’re not coming. Rest well old man” Diego said gently and end the call.
“Let’s leave” He said to Jameson.
“What? Aren’t you going to hear Candy’s speech before leaving?” Jameson asked.
“The only reason I came was because of old man and he’s not her, so let’s leave”
“Miss. Candy?” The man on stage called but she was no where to be found. Jameson eyes went to her seat and only Jackie panicking a little.
“Something is not right” Jameson muttered.
Just then, Yazmine came running and she yelled.
“Candy is trouble! She is in the pool!!”
Diego’s eyes widened hearing those words. Without thinking twice he rushed there before anyone could. The blood on his face dried up seeing Candy in pool unmoved.
“Fuçk” He immediately pull down his jacket and dive in shocking those staring.
“Oh no” Jackie lips tremble while Jameson clinched his jaw.
Getting her out, Diego tapped on Candy’s cheek severally.
“Candy wake up!!” He exclaimed, one could hear the panic in his voice.. like he was scared.
He place both hands on her chest and pressed it several times. He then connect his lips with hers blowing some her into it.
Candy’s eyes remain close but he didn’t stop. A memory flashed before him. His mother laying like this while he tried to revive her.
“Please wake up!!!” He yelled again and pressed her chest again.
Finally she coughed spilling out water from her mouth. Relief flashed over Diego’s face as he draw her close after she was calm. He was hugging her tight.
“Are you okay now?” He asked lightly, his voice soft.
“Yes..” She said so low.
“I’m glad” He said.
Others behind gave each other a look. They have never seen Diego this was.
“I should take you to the hospital” He whispered and she nodded slowly against his chest.
Not minding the stares around him, Diego stood and carried Candy in a bridal. He slowly step out of the place, while others stared with shock..
Candy also didn’t care what others think, instead she draw her face closer to his chest and closed her eyes feeling his warmth…..
