Together and Forever

My name is Bella Richmond, I came from a very wealthy family, the daughter of Henry Richmond and Evelyn Richmond the owner and CEO of Richmond enterprises.

I'm the only child of my parents which makes me the heir to the company.

My parents are in Nigeria with my dad acting as the CEO in the headquarters while I take over our branch here in the States.

I have a fiancee and his name is Gary Jackson, he just proposed to me few days ago and that was the happiest moment of my life.

I really just hope everything keep going on fine cause I deserve to be happy, I deserve some good things in my life.

I'm Frank Nelson and I live here in the states my parents are in Nigeria while I came here for one reason which is to have fun.

I should leave the details about my family for now but not to worry, it will be revealed very soon.

So let's know more about me, I'm a fun guy actually you can call me a Playboy or whatever I don't care.

Some people do refer me as a gigolo but I'm not, a gigolo is a man paid to have sex with the opposite sex.

There's no week that passed that I won't have a new lady by my side, I only repeat ladies only if I have no choice.

I've been a Playboy from a very early stage but I really don't have a specific reason for being one just that I love it.

Playboys don't fall in love so I really don't have anyone I care about but not until I started working at Richmond enterprises.

The only lady that caught my eyes is my boss, she's beautiful and she's everything I want in a woman.

She's the first lady I'd have a crush on, anytime I'm in her presence I became shy and vulnerable.

I can't even look into her eyes, I would've approach her but everyone knows of me and my sex act.

Yeah, I didn't keep it hidden so everyone in the company knows and no one judge, infact most of the ladies are the ones throwing themselves at me.

I flirt around in the company and even though they knew of me being a sex addict but it's just not possible for them to resist me.

Yeah, I'm saying this and proud to say it that I'm dangerously handsome, it's actually one of the reason I have so many girls.

Some men in the company refused to bring their wife to the company for them not to fall for victim but nah, I don't do married woman.

Also if I noticed you're in a good relationship I won't try to disrupt it cause that's one of the things I hate most.

I don't know why my charm don't work on the boss cause I never caught her admiring me which is why I never even try.

One of the reason she and I didn't have a problem is that, I helped the company to secure so many contracts.

It's more like they are using me, it's because most of our clients are females, so they sent me as the Director to secure the deal, and because of my looks it makes them unable to say no to our proposal.

My boss can be strict at times and everyone was scared of her infact I am also scared, she can be bossy sometimes.

Bella's POV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm as it blares loudly into my ears and I reluctantly get up from bed.

Ah, it's morning already?. gosh I yawned a little then I went straight to the bathroom to have my bath.

Few minutes later I came out and got dressed, do some make over to brighten my face. I checked myself in the mirror and after that I went out of my room to the living room.

" Good morning ma'am" the maid greeted as I go to the living room.

" Good morning, Lily" I replied.

" Breakfast is ready" she said.

" Oh that's good" I said then went to the dining table to have it.

" Is my driver here?" I asked.

" Yes... he's outside" she replied. " That's great" I said then pick up a spoon and started eating.

Few minutes later, I grabbed my bag and went out, I saw the driver by the car and he opened the door for me.

" Morning ma'am" he greeted.

" Morning Andrew" I answered then I entered the car and he drove off.

Frank's POV

.

I opened my eyes groggily as the ray of light shines through my eyes, I realised it's morning already.

I turned then see a naked body on the bed and I smiled remembering the sexual event that took place.

I wrapped my hands around her and cups her cleavage to feel her up and she made a soft moans.

The girl on the bed right now has been on my radar for some time now, we've only been flirting with each other but I decided not to go further cause she had a boyfriend.

Yeah, they broke up and when she told me the news I couldn't be more happier then I made my move immediately.

Last night was pretty intense, I can't believe this girl can be that wide and energetic, remembering the event is arousing me all over again.

I took my phone to check the time and I got the shock of my life which cause me to sprang up immediately.

' oh God, I'm late' I shouted shocked then sprang up and turn to the girl.

' hey, wake up it's morning, I have to go to work' I said to the girl who just wiggled then I dash to the bathroom immediately.

I can't believe I slept that long, that must be the result of the wide night we had.

I didn't waste much time in the bathroom then I came out naked and went to my closet to dress.

I picked out a shirt and trouser then I turned to aee the girl still on the bed.

" Hey Clara, if you don't have anywhere to go well I do... so do me a favour and get your fat ass off that bed'' I said and she stood up reluctantly.

" you didn't tell me you will be going out, I thought you and I will be here all day" she said.

" Uh?... why would you think that way... only a jobless person will tell you something like that" I said putting on my tie.

" I was even thinking we'll have a morning romp seems like it's not gonna happen" she said coming closer to me.

" Sorry to disappoint you but you need to put on some clothes" I said fastening my shoes lace.

" Can we just have a quickie before you go.... it's not gonna take time" she said rubbing her hands over my body.

'what?... Are you kidding me.

" Now I know you're sent by my enemies in Nigeria to ruin my life, by the time I'm done dressing i expect you to be dressed as well cause if not I'll throw you out like that" I said sternly.

" You're joking right?" She asked . " You wanna find out?" I countered.

" But I haven't have my bath yet?" She said but I ignored her and she quickly went to get her clothes and started putting it on.

" You're crazy Frankie.... you cant just treat me like some hooker... f**k you" she Cursed.

" I'm sorry Love, you can't blame me, I don't joke with my Job" I said standing up ready to go.

" Are you ready?... or you want me to help you out?" I said heading to the door and she quickly rushed out.

I locked my door and went to my car then ignited the car and drove out.

Frank's POV

I drove as fast as I could praying and hoping I didn't meet up with my boss by the time I got to work.

Few minutes later I got to work and with the atmosphere on ground it means only one thing, the boss is yet to arrive.

" Heyy Sharon" I said to the receptionist giving her warm smile which she reciprocated by smiling shyly.

" Good morning Mr Nelson" she said.

" Heyy umm, can you do me a favor..... you know by helping me with the sign in..... I wouldn't wanna be on the boss bad side" I said.

" Don't worry about it... it's sorted" she said.

" Ohh... that's very darling of you, thanks" I replied then tried to head off.

" What about what we talked about the other day?" She asked.

" Don't worry Love, I'll put it under consideration" I said then go ahead to my desk.

Yeah, that's Sharon she's been hitting on me ever since she got here, I might be a Playboy but I know what I want and she's not in any way near that.

" Heyy, Frankie boy" one of my female colleague said.

" Laura baby, you're looking damn hot today" I said.

" Really?..... thanks" she said sitting on her desk.

" Don't worry baby.... you'll be mine soon" I said passing by.

" Don't even dream about it" I heard her saying.

" Hey man... you're late" my colleague Damien said.

" Yeah... woke up late" I said.

" Lemme guess, midnight rump" he said.

" Something like that?" I said then sat down on my desk.

" You're lucky the boss also came late" he said.

" Yeah, I guess I should be called lucky" I said then we heard some rumbling among our colleagues.

" She's here... everyone the boss is here" one of them said and everyone quickly stood up to their feet.

Then the elevator dings and there she is in all her beauty, she stood there looking magnificent like a queen.

" God, isn't she stunning?..... this is my ideal woman.... I want this woman badly, she's just too perfect" I said.

" You realise that's our boss you're talking about?" Andrew said.

" Of course I know that" I said staring at her.

" You also know that she's engaged right?, And she does know about all your... you know what I mean" he said.

" Yeah I know... one of the reason I didn't even try to make any move, damn, see that shape boy" I said.

*

" The only reason I bought this building was because it has a private elevator" The boss said as she entered.

" That way, I don't have to get soaked in cheap cologne every morning, getting to my office, find out who use it, have them reprimanded, or bathed, I don't care which ..."

" Here's your latte, Hot" her secretary said handling her her coffee.

" Ugh..... that will be new and different" the boss said they went to her office and everyone sat down.

Author's POV

" I have a meeting with the board members today at lunch, so cancel lunch with my fiancee" Bella said to her secretary as they went to her office.

" Got it" secretary said.

" Also, I've emailed a list, prepare termination letters for the employees as noted. I realise that there are quite a few"

" But it will be so nice if you handwrote them, use the lesser card stock".

" You're downsizing the workers?" Secretary asked surprised.

" Why?... is there a problem?" " No ma'am, but that was your first acquisition" secretary said.

" Go see if the layout for the project is ready" she said.

" It's not that I don't see your frown, it's just that I don't care enough to ask why it's there" she added. "

All those people they are going to lose their jobs... what's going to happen to them, to their families?... they don't have to downsize at the company" Secretary said.

" Why would I care about that?... they are to be blamed for their incompetence, this company get to this stage by hard-working" she said.

" But t..." " You're my secretary Stella, and you'll do as I said..... you're lucky I like you if not you know what will happen" she said.

" Sorry ma'am, I'll get it done right away" the secretary said and she turned to leave.

" Tell the director to see me right away" she said. " Okay" secretary said then she went out.

Frank's POV

I was on my desk working on my laptop and chitchatting with Damien when the boss's secretary came.

" Frank, Miss Richmond wants you in her office right away" she said.

" Wait Stella, what's it about?" I asked.

" I don't know.... you have to go find out" she said then left.

" Do you think it's about me coming late this morning?... I think she's gonna fire me" I asked Damien.

" C'mon Frank, you're the director she can't just fire you like that" damien said.

" You know that's not true at all, the previous director was sacked for missing two days Job" I said.

" Then you will have to use your charm on her" Damien said.

" You know that's not possible... it's more like my charm don't work on her" I standing up.

" I guess you will have to go find out" Damien said. " I guess I'll do that" I said then went straight to her office.

I got to her office then knocked and she replied for me to come and I entered.

" You called for me" I said as I entered.

" Yeah, actually there's something I need to talk to you about" she said and I was relieved cause I'm not getting fired.

" What is it about?" I asked.

" Yeah, I just want to ask..... how do you do it?" She asked and I was confused.

" Do what?" I asked.

" I'm very impressed with what you've been doing in this company, especially with how you helped us secure so many deals" she said and I smiled.

" I don't think that should be a question... it's my job to make sure this company is successful" I replied.

" It's just that with you something like that seems easy, like yesterday I was trying to secure a contract with one our clients but she's giving me a hard time" she said.

" so I was thinking you and I could go over to her and try to convince her" she added and I was lost in thought.

' oh no it's never going to work out..... I'm never going to be comfortable around her especially with something like that'

' how will I tell her I can't have her there with me, I will never concentrate and there's a possibility we might lose this contract'

" Did you hear what's just said?" She asked taking me out of my reverie.

" You said?" I asked.

" You mean you didn't hear what I just said?" She asked.

" Sorry ma'am, I was lost in thought" I replied.

" What are you thinking?"

" Nothing ma'am"

" Get yourself together, I said we are leaving in ten minutes" she said.

" Ma'am, I don't think you should come along.... I'll just take care of it" I said.

" This is not just any contract.... it's a very important one, so I'm going" she said.

" But ma'am it..." " What's wrong with you all today... why are you all trying to tell me what to do" she said.

" Listen I'm the boss here... and when I said I'm going then I'm going... you don't tell me what to do... and be careful and do you try to mess this up" she said.

" Yes ma'am" I replied.

" Get out and wait for me at the garage" she said then I went out.

" Uh uh..... I'm very certain This is not going to end well" If I want to love anyone I'd want it to be her or someone just like her, too bad I can't have her cause she's already engaged.

I've made a promise that I'd stop being a Playboy if I see a lady just like my boss that's worth loving.

Frank's POV

.

I returned back to my office to pick some things before heading to the garage.

" No no.....don't tell me you got fired" Damien said immediately I entered.

" No, I'm not fired" I replied picking up my phone and car Keys.

" then why is your face like this?" he asked.

" she wanted me to accompany her to seal a deal with one of our client" I said.

" really?.....c'mon man that's a perfect opportunity for you too to be together " he said.

" you don't get it........whenever I'm with her I lose concentration which might make us lose the contract " I said.

" so what are you going to do?" he asked.

" what else?.......there's nothing I can do, she's just too stubborn, gotta go" I said heading out.

" Good luck " he said.

I got downstairs and waited for her for some minutes before she came and we entered the car then the driver drove off.

I sat in the front with the driver while she sat in the back going through her iPad.

The car was dead silent and no one made a sound and after we are almost at the place she spoke up.

" Frank" she called.

" Yes ma'am " I answered.

" do your best not to mess this up today.......we need this contract, we can't afford to miss it" she said.

" I'll try my best ma'am " I replied.

A while later we got to the woman's house and the driver drove in then parked the car.

We both got down and went to the house as the woman in her mid-forties the came out to welcome us, she lead us inside and we sat down.

" you're welcome to my home " the woman said.

" thank you Mrs Barkley" the boss said.

" I see you brought a pretty face along with you " the woman said referring to me and I smiled warmly.

" uhm....this is Mr Nelson, the director" the boss introduced.

" Nice meeting you Mrs Barkley " I said.

" me too, look I know you're a very busy woman so I won't try to waste your time........so let's talk business " the woman said.

" yeah that will be good" the boss replied.

" okay then, about the stock we negotiated the last time, I'm still standing on my price..this is business Miss Richmond, we all want profit" the woman said.

" Mrs Barkley, you know our company very well, you've seen our products.....you know we're not some small firm.......We deals with the Top Dog who can verify our work" the boss said.

I just sat there looking at both of them as they talk it out, as I am right now, it's like brain his dead and couldn't function any longer.

I just keep staring at the boss's lips as she is talking, I watched as her lips moves anytime she uttered a word.

" Miss Richmond..."

" please call me Bella" the boss interrupted.

" okay Bella, you don't need to state all of that for me, I know and I've seen your work, but my price still stands" the woman said then the boss turned to me to say something.

" Frank, you wanna say something?" she said.

" huh....ummm... Yeah, yeah ummm..... There....there's......umm....actually my boss said everything.........dealing with our company is the best thing to do" I stuttered.

" It's business darling......it is what it is" she said.

*

After failing to secure the deal with Mrs Barkley we went back into the car and drove off.

No one uttered a word till we reach the office, I know the contract means alot to her but I don't know what to say.

" Mr Felix.....do you mind excusing us?" The boss said immediately the driver parked the car at the garage.

" Okay ma'am" he replied then he got down and left.

" What happened back there?" She asked and I was confused of what she really mean.

" Ma'am, what do you mean?" I asked looking at her.

" The reason I brought you along was to help me out with it, i expect you to do what you actually do to our other clients but instead you let you mind wander off" she said.

" I'm sorry, actually I think you said everything that needs to be said, maybe the contract wasn't really meant for us" I said and she shot me glare.

" Spare me that silly lecture, this is not Nigeria where you believe some things happen for a reason" she said.

" So it's true" she said and I got confused again.

" What do you mean?" I asked.

" One of the reasons I decided to follow you here is to confirm if the rumors about you is true and now it's confirmed" she said and I wondered what's she's talking about.

I know she knew about my sex affairs but what rumors is she talking about.

" I'm lost here ma'am, I don't follow up...... what rumors are you talking about?" I asked.

" Tell me the truth Frank, do you have any intimacy with any of our clients in exchange for the contract" she said and I was shocked and angry at the same time.

" Did you just accused me of having a sexual relationship with our clients?"

" What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I said angrily at her and I can see a surprise look on her.

" Heyyy.......Watch your tone Frank" she said.

" No ma'am, i don't care what you think about me......."

" I know know what you might have heard about me but one thing I know for sure......I don't cross my boundary"

" So ma'am, with all due respect ma'am don't you insult me again" I concluded.

" Is that a threat?" She asked staring at me.

" I'm sorry ma'am, I respect you alot so don't ruin that, and NO it's not a threat it's the fact" I said.

" I'll let this slide for now and the next time you raise your voice at me again....then this conversation will be different" she said.

" I have my eyes on you..... Frank, I'm watching" she added then get out of the car then went straight inside the company.

' I don't care if I have a crush on you but i can't let you insult me anyhow'

' you are so lucky that I have a crush on you if not this wouldn't be the conversation at all' I thought then came out of the car.

I went back to the office and everyone eyes are on me as I entered.

" Heyy, how did it go?" Damien asked as I got to my desk.

" We lost the contract" I said then sat down.

" Oooops.....no wonder the boss wasn't smiling" he said.

" More to that.........she and I had a little argument" I said.

" You and the boss?.......and she's cool with it?" He said surprised.

" She got on my nerves, she said some things I'm not cool with" I said.

" Woww......that sounds like a couples fight" he said.

" There are some things I'll never agree on " I said.

" Watch your attitude towards her, if not she will fire you" he said.

" She can't do that....... I'm a very important person in the company, I played a very big role in here" I said.

" That might be true but you know she's the boss and she can do that" he said and I rolled my eyes.
