Her Wrong Desires

12

She'd read somewhere that time is patience.

Even though she doesn't want to believe that, she had to. Her plans with Sophia had set up and anytime now, Sophia should be in the club trying to befriend her enemy,Tyler.

Her plans was to cut off her business relationship with him before the gala coming up. She smiled mischievously. "Tyler is about to go down." She uttered,sipping her wine.

She moved from her office chair and headed to stand close the window, enjoying the view from the top. She was already getting tipsy, but her plan was not to get drunk that day.

She picked up her bag and ambled out to meet her PA. After passing all the information she wanted to give him, she walked out to the garage where her driver was silently waiting for her.

She nodded at him after he had greeted her. She would have want to visit Sophia's Fashion House but it would be a bad idea because she knows someone is still tailing her and she is yet to know who that is.

She instructed her driver to head back home with her. She would definitely need a hot shower and also maybe hit the gym. It has been long since she had entered the gym.

Upon reaching home, she met her chef arranging her dinner on the dining area. She waved her hand at him. "I will be back in an hour." She informed him before she made her way to the stairs leading to her room.

She decided to hit to the gym in her house first before she would take a hot shower and head to have her meal. She got dressed in a walking out track and grabbed her AirPods.

Soon she was done and her ringing phone brought her out of her reveries. It was from the office, she picked and was told that someone said he wants to see her badly, and he has to see her before the next day.

Then that person happened to be Gabriel, she said yes instantly and asked her driver to get him to her penthouse from the office.

She hurriedly head to her room and took a hot bath in a lavender water. She made sure to wear one of her best gowns that stopped midway.

She stopped as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. Is she falling for her a married man? What if she is? What will be of her and her feelings for him?

Ever since her first love, she had never dated someone else. But Gabriel seems to have caught her eyes, he was everything she wants in a man then again, he is married.

Pushing the thoughts at the back of her mind, she made her way to the dining area, her stomach rumbled and she felt the hunger intensify.

She hurriedly pushed down the mashed potatoes and meatballs that Assane had prepared for her, not caring how bad she looks like doing so.

"You have a guest." Her chef informed.

Apart from her in the house, then her chef and the rest of the kitchen maids. The house was that quiet, with no one to light it up. "Bring him in." She replied, fixing herself.

Assane then later returned with a stunned Gabriel. He was holding something she had assumed to be his bag. "Welcome ." She said, smiling.

"Thank you ma'am. I came to inform you about the project you had assigned to me." Gabriel uttered. She had requested that he makes his reports directly to her.

"Are you in such a hurry? Why not have dinner before she begin?" She offered.

And Gabriel couldn't help but declined. It was already late and he needs to pass to the reports to her then he will hail a private cab and make it back to the side of the town.

"Come on, my chef here makes the best mashed potatoes and meatballs." She said pointing at Assane.

Gabriel agreed to at least eat a little from what Assane had served him. He was later served a wine but he couldn't get his words to decline.

It has been long since he had tasted an expensive wine, maybe since his wedding. He slowly gulped down the drink, almost finishing it.

"So what are you here to talk about?" Rebecca asked with a furred brows.

"Yes ma'am, the website is ready to be launched but I need the water mark of the company and the design department gave me two designs to chose from. It made a sample of what each will look like." He turned his laptop to her eyes.

To say, Rebecca was wowed by how creative he was. She couldn't even choose between the two he had shown her as they both suit her liking. "This." She finally picked.

"I will schedule a small party to celebrate our achievements. It will only be the company staffs, the shareholders and few guests. Then we will launch the site." She explained.

Preferably she would want the party to take place before the gala that is about to happen. Gabriel nodded and made sure he showed her how everything works.

Even though he would be the one to do the presentation as she had said, he has to show her how the website works.

"Thank you ma'am." He said putting his things together.

"Sure thing Gabe. I will ask my driver to take you home." She informed as she sent Assane to get the poor old man.

After passing instructions to the driver, she waved them out the house and took a seat sighing. She couldn't believe she had spent that amount of time alone with Gabriel, well with Assane in the next door.

"I see you are showing interest in him." Assane teased.

Assane knows everything about her, he was like a brother to her. He had volunteered to be her chef after the incident that made them meet.

"Yes Assane, but he is married." She rubbed her temples.

"And so what? They might not be made for each other my love. You might bag yourself a place in his heart." Assane comforted.

"Thank you Assane, but I don't want to keep my hopes high. Now what am I missing out on you and your fiancé ?" She wiggled her brow.

Assane recently got engaged and soon, he is planning to tie the knot but then he is worried about leaving Rebecca alone. He would never be able to do that.

"Nothing Becky. Just that the priest is yet to select the wedding date." He informed, sitting by her side.

"He would Assane and soon." She patted his back.

Assane is like her therapist, vice versa. She had secretly opened a restaurant under the name of Assane, he manages it. So during the day while she is at work, he leaves the house in the hand of the nanny and take care of the restaurant and make sure he is home before her to make her meals.

Rebecca appreciated his efforts, resulting her to share the profits they'd get from the restaurant. Assane was deeply touched by how Becky retreats him, she made sure he purchased a share from SxE corps.

She made him something from the scratch, and he really appreciate that. "I don't want to accept the fact that you will leave this house when you get wed." She said after the silence.

"Same Becky. But I can drop to see you anytime and I can send you food anytime you want." He uttered.

"Sure." She answered, for she is lucky to have a brother like Assane in her life.

She excused herself to return to her room. It was late already and she has to go through some papers. Being a CEO is really tiring, that she had to admit to it.

She checked her phone to see a message from Sophia. "He fell for it. Soon he will be under my control." It reads.

Rebecca smiled. Now she is back at him for whatever he is up to and she can't wait for thing to unfold, for she will be very happy in that.

Her father, for days she had not heard from him. She knew he is up to something and she knows he has probably heard of her friendship with Sophia, but for sure he won't say anything about her since she is a big fish.

He loves people that have the paper, as long as the company will benefit from the friendship, then he wouldn't mind. But soon, she will visit him. She had to because she will be the one to pass the information about the website and the party about to happen.

It was late in the night, but nevertheless she sent her secretary a message to get the list of the guests that would receive an invitation card and also to alert the design department to start printing out the invitation cards and the pass.

Done with everything, she retired for the day.

"Tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day." She uttered as she closed her eyes.
