Work, the following day, was so hectic that Sophia's department missed lunch. It was later in the day that the manager ordered lunch for the staff. They were munching their chicken and chips when Drey began his bantering with Miranda. "Mimi, a chicken for two chips," Drey said. Miranda swept Drey with her eyes. "Miranda," Drey called with mischief. "Yes" Miranda answered. "A chicken for two chips," Drey repeated himself. "Who gets the chips?" Miranda questioned. "I of course," Drey replied. "You know I love chips a lot," Miranda said. "Oh I remember, chipmunk," Drey gave his playboy signature smile. The others tried not to laugh but they couldn't control themselves especially after seeing Miranda's puffed expression. "Swears, I'll ensure the CEO fires you. I'll file you for unseriousness at work," Miranda threatened. "Well? You might be the one to get fired because if you were serious with your work, you wouldn't notice others unseriousness," Drey said with a smirk.
"Drey and Mimi," Henry called. Miranda stared at Henry helplessly. Drey burst into laughter. "You see! Miranda is too long even for Henry to pronounce, Mimi," Drey taunted. "Sorry about calling you Mimi, Mimi," Henry apologised innocently. Miranda glared at both Henry and Drey. "You guys know what? I will write a letter of transfer. All of you are annoying assholes," Miranda clenched her fist. "Including me?" Sophia fluttered her eyes repeatedly. "No darling," Miranda pinched her cheeks fondly.
William who was silently munching his chips stared at Sophia with a glint of indescribable emotion in his eyes. He was lost in the stare but was nudged by Harry before anyone else could notice. He looked away unable to look at Harry because he felt embarrassed. "Will," Henry called. "I'm sorry," William muttered. Others looked at William wondering why he was sorry. William smiled and raised an eyebrow at them.
The week ran out quickly. It was Friday. Everyone was expecting the CEO but he never came. Most of the workers were relieved. They later got to know he had to attend to a business meeting I. another country that day.
Sophia got home exhausted to meet Katherine packing clothes in a bag. "I can't remember pursuing you out of the house. Where are you going?" Sophia asked Katherine placed her hand on her waist and stared at Sophia like ' what the hell are you saying'. "Hellooo????" Sophia waved at her. "It's Friday," Katherine replied putting in her little make up bag. "I know," Sophia sprawled on the bed. "Arghhhh! What happened to your memory? Have you forgotten I will be going to Ren's place for the weekend?" Katherine growled. "Oh sorry. I totally forgot," Sophia looked at her apologetically, "Now get going. I need to own this house to myself," she said gleaming. "Hmph," Katherine scoffed.

A young man in his mid twenties putting on a polo over a jean entered a bar which was rocking loud. His ocean blue eyes scanned the bar for an empty seat. He found one and strode towards it. One of the attendants at the bar came to him almost immediately he sat down. "A glass," he said. The attendant quickly rushed to get him his order. "Here sir," the attendant smiled. "I will like to check in to one of the VIP lounge," he said. "Alright sir," the attendant left briskly.
He was sipping his drink when a lady dressed in a short tight fitting red gown came to sit beside him. "Hi hans," she said smiling at him. "Jake is the name," he said without giving her a second look. "Nancy here," she stretched out her hand for a hand shake but it was left hanging. She shamefully took her hand back. "You are too hot not to care for a night stand," she said. "I don't care," he said. "We shall see about that. If I can't have you tonight, nobody will," she said. He raised an eyebrow at her and chuckled. "Cheap sluts everywhere," he muttered as he watched her go.
Nancy went to the attendant who attended to Jake and beckoned on him. "I need a favour from you," Nancy said. "Anything for you ma'am," the attendant said. "Good boy," she patted his shoulder, " You see that handsome man over there," she pointed at Jake who was oblivious of what she was up to. "Yes ma," the attendant nodded. "Spike his drink," she said and gave the attendant a wand of notes. Looking at the money in his hand greedily, "Consider it done," he said.
In another side of the bar, Katherine staggered to the dance floor with a bottle of Vodka. She was dancing with reckless abandon when her gaze shifted to Jake who was sitting alone with his second glass. Katherine staggered towards him and pulled him up for a dance. Jake removed her hand from his hand. "Sorry. I can't dance," Jake said. "Too bad. You are too handsome not to know how to dance," Katherine said in her drunk state. Jake chuckled looking at the drunk lady before him.
"Isn't this whiskey?" Katherine took Jake's drink which was half-way drank. She gulped it at once. "Madam," Jake called but Katherine had slumped into a sleep. Jake was confused as to what to do. He didn't want to leave the drunk lady here as she was prone to being taken advantage of. He remembered he booked a lounge. He carried her in a bridal style and went for his room key.
Nancy who was watching from afar followed Jake to his lounge. Jake was about to enter his room when he sighted Nancy. He chuckled sweetly revealing his dimple and all of the suddenly, he shot Nancy a glare that sent shiver down her spine. Nancy took to her heels. "Is he a vampire or maybe the devil himself?" Nancy wondered trying to catch her breath.
As soon as Jake dropped Katherine on the bed, he had a tinge feeling in his body. He felt sexually aroused which is unlike him. It was at the moment when Jake was wondering what was wrong with him that Katherine woke up and began to pull him towards herself like a sex-starved lady. Jake tried to free himself from her grip as well as control his sexual urge.
It was really a tough time for Jake. Katherine let go of him and began playing with her vagina. Jake knew instantly that something was off somewhere. Whilst controlling himself even as he stared at the lady pleasuring herself, his mind raced back to his drink. It was spike! He dug his hand tightly into his skin as he remembered what Nancy told him. Using all his energy to control himself, he crawled to the bathroom and turned on the cold water. He let himself into the cold water and shuddered as his sexual urge reduced.
After about thirty minutes in the cold water, he felt better though still aroused but it was an arousal he could still control. He filled a bucket with cold water, took a towel and went to help Katherine who was pleasuring herself. It took all his might to be able to clean Katherine up without trying to accede to his arousal. After cleaning her up, he went to drop the bucket. He picked a duvet and was making his way to the couch when Katherine pulled him with all her might; his lips landed on hers.
He almost lost all his control as his tongue fought for dominance in Katherine's mouth. As if the kiss was the one thing to help Katherine calm down, she burst into tears though she was still sleepy and drunk. "Ren, what have I done to you? What did I do to deserve you cheating on me? What did I......," she sobs as she drifted to sleep again.
Jake stood transfixed as he watched the lady cry in her sleep. His fist tightened as he heard what the Ren she mentioned did to her. One of the things he hated was cheating on a lady. He bent towards Katherine and muttered, "I don't know Ren but I'm sorry for what he did. It's heartbreaking. I would have suggested you forgive him but I don't know how much you love him. The ball is in your court, young lady. The decision is yours to be made," he planted a long kiss on her forehead.
The ray of the sun outlined the facial features of the sleeping Katherine as she turned from one end of the bed to the other. She flickered her eyes open while studying her surrounding. She tried to sit up but a headache sent her back to lay down.
