How do you mean Ellen, and why are you messing with food?" Sia asked with a chuckle. It actually tickled her whenever Ellen acted like food should be played with and not eaten with seriousness.
"I just love... You know how much I enjoy pinching... " Ellen replied with a laugh.
Soon Sia was done and had all the delicacies she had prepared served on Ellen's dining table and after that, they sat down and ate.
"You have a meeting this morning." Sia said, trying to remind Ellen.
"Yes, I remember"
"You do? I thought you forgot?"
"Not at all. That's why I woke up early. It has been on my mind all week. You know how important it is." she said and Sia nodded her head.
Soon, they were done with breakfast and Sia had to leave. She drover her car so she could go freshen up in her house and run to the publishing house to get things done for Ellen.
Ellen had fun sipping her juice for a while and when she felt like she was set, she stood up and left the house. She was still traumatized over the breakup that had just happened, but she was moving on with life.
She got into her car at the garage and drove herself to Atlantis restaurant for the meeting she had at hand. Her manager had told her it was a very important meeting with some big boss, who controlled the biggest bookstores in the country
Surprisingly, when she got there, he was already there with his team.
When she got to the booked seat, she met two men sitting there, so she bowed before she sat down.
"I am so sorry for being late. Good morning sirs. How do you do?" she said, hurrying to take her a seat.
"Yes, you definitely are late." one of them said to her.
She looked at the men sitting in her front and tried to identify who the boss was.
The one responding to her looked and sounded so professional. The other man behind him wasn't so serious looking. He had an incredibly handsome face with well-built structure.
His demeanour got her worried. Wasn't he supposed to be serious, considering they were here for something so important? she thought.
She imagined him acting very professional, and put together. She sat up and decided to focus on the man speaking.
"I am Ellen. The writer and Author."
"This is my boss. He is President Andre Morgan. The overall president of the Morgan Empire that controls the nation's writings. I am Cass, his manager, and right-hand man. Nice to meet you." he said and brought out his palm for a handshake.
"Oh great. Same here," she said and gave him a formal handshake.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Ellen," Andre spoke for the first time since she walked in and she was surprised by his tone of voice. He sounded so sexy, like he was in the mood for something she didn't want to think about.
"Same here." she bowed her head and brought out her hand for a handshake.
Andre held her palm and gave it a sexy massage while he shared her, making her think of something else. She felt her body react to him effortlessly and she pulled her hand away , looking into his eyes.
He kept on giving her suggesting signs with his eyes as the meeting went on. He was also staring over every part of her body like he wanted to undress her there. She felt very uncomfortable, and repulsed at all these.
She began to avoid Cass's eyes and looked down to sip her coffee instead.
"Can you hear me, Miss Ellen?" Cass asked as he kept talking and talking on behalf of Andre who had already given him a go-ahead since they stepped feet in the restaurant.
"Uhm, yes I can hear you. Can I see the contract?" she asked and he passed her a file.
She opened it and then decided to go through it word for word when she felt a movement between her thighs.
Shocked, she looked up and saw Andre smirking as he looked at her and she felt her patience reach the limit.
Why did she have to come only across men who were nothing but trash? Was this not supposed to be strictly business?
She couldn't wait for them to be done with the meeting, as she adjusted her seat and proceeded to read the document faster.
A waiter passed, and she ordered another hot coffee and sipped it little by little. As she read, she wondered if this was something she would have to face whenever they met. No one told her that the President of Morgan Empire was nothing but a breaking p*****t and playboy.
She was done reading and then placed the document on the table to be signed, only to feel her underwear being trespassed, right at the center of her p***y
Almost coughing out blood, she looked at him, and then at his manager only to see his manager being serious with the other documents. That mean it was Andre touching her down there.
Disgusted and feeling harassed, she picked up the coffee she had just ordered and splashed it on Andre's face.
Shocked, Andre jumped up and placed his face towel on his face as he tried to clean off the hot coffee that had just been splashed at him.
He had never expected that reaction from her. In fact, no woman had ever dared to treat him this way before.
Cass stood up in shock and proceeded to scold Ellen when he felt and smelt hot coffee splashed on his face too.
There were oohs and ahs from people in the restaurant, as a lot of people knew the President.
It turned out she had splashed the two of them as she placed the now empty cup on the table making a sound with hour at the same time.
"I am waiting to get sued. Disgusting elements." she spat and stormed off the restaurant.
She didn't stop to take a breath, but go straight into her car and drove home, her face sour all through the journey.
When she got home, she decided to check the call ID on her phone that had not stopped ringing even since the restaurant. It was Sia.
