“You smell so good and the way your soft body reacts. to my touch… the way your body melts in my hands… I just want to remain inside you…”
“Whenever I hold your boobs… they fill my hands so perfectly, Strawberry,” all the whispers kept interrupting her sleep.
All those nightmares were back because he called her strawberry last night.
As a result?
She went to the office with swollen eyes. Even the makeup concealer couldn’t cover the underbags and
dark circles that were evident on her face.
It was Friday and the weekend was about to start. Tonight, Rafael was expected to meet the kids and she wanted to make it as easy as possible for him and fort
her kids.
For a moment she wished, she hadn’t accepted this

offer and could run away far from there.
“You don’t seem alright to me,” Dean asked her in
concern, “Did you stay awake last night? Are your kids, ok?”
She had just returned to her desk with a cup of black coffee. This was the only thing that could keep her sane today.
“I’m good,” she chuckled rolling her eyes heavenward, “You know? Life of a mommy!”
He nodded in understanding and placed a file in front of her, “I’ve brought you this file as I need to
accompany Mr. Joseph to a meeting. But if you think it’s not manageable then please feel free to return it to
me.”
Marissa made a pout while eyeing this man who had been nothing but super helpful. She got to her feet and planted a kiss on his cheek, “Has anyone ever told you, you are a sweetheart, Dean?”
Dean felt embarrassed and wiped his cheek with his fingers. For a moment, Marissa felt like he was a bigger version of Alex.
She laughed and sat down on her seat.
“Go to that meeting and forget about the file,” she said good–naturedly and got busy with her work.
“Won’t you join us for lunch?” Delinda asked her worriedly when saw her typing frantically on the laptop.
She was too busy adding some numbers to the Excel
sheet.
“You go ahead, Linda. I need to finish it before four
p.m.”
Almost everyone on the floor was heading to the nearby restaurants or Café when the door to the President’s office opened and she noticed Rafael emerging from it, out of the corner of her eye. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Did you have anything since morning?” he asked her in concern and pulled a chair to sit on it.
“I had a toast this morning and then had coffee in the office. Thank you.” She remained focused on the task at hand.
“Last night… Did I do something I shouldn’t have done? Or is it something I said that offended you in any way?” he asked her in a low voice, and she felt her

threw a casual smile
in his direction and then resumed her typing. She must have typed some more words when a large hand
covered hers not letting her fingers move anymore.
Her eyes snapped to his face, who was already looking at her, “Talk to me.”
She offered a faltered smile and shook her head, “I can’t… Just… just meet the kids. Let’s keep it that way… for the sake of our kids…”
He nodded agreeing with her, “For the sake of our kids.” He then got up and leaned down. Marissa thought he wanted to have a look at the laptop screen, and she quickly turned it towards him.
However, she turned into a statue when the familiar.
soft lips kissed her cheek, “I’ll be there before dinner,” he mumbled, “I’m sending you sandwiches. Eat them. OK?” without waiting for her response, he went back to his office.
“Damn you, Rafael!” She muttered under her breath and pushed away the laptop.

66 60- Sorry Valerio
Rafael was getting ready in the hotel room whistling to himself, Yesterday he asked Dean to find him a penthouse because he had the intention to spend more time in Kanderton.
He kept it casual by wearing denim pants along with a grey turtleneck shirt. He was brushing his wet hair when his phone started ringing.
“Yes?” he received it without looking at the caller ID.
“Are you going somewhere?”
Shit! He had taken his mom’s video call.
“Hello, Mom. I’m fine, thank you. How about you!” he greeted Nina with a playful grin, but she was his mom and took the sarcasm well.
“Don’t you try to divert my attention! Is it a date? You two are not at all serious about bringing a Sinclair heir into this world!” she complained to him, but he remained busy in examining his image in the mirror.
You have heirs, Mom. You aren’t aware of it. I wish I could tell you, but Marissa asked me something, trusting me… and I’m not willing to break her trust.

“Yes. It’s a casual date with Joseph. Remember? Today is Friday. After a long week of work, we need to unwind in some bar.”
“Gosh, Rafael. Valerie was right. Wha aking you so long? What’s so special about Kanderton that you have forgotten about the Sangua office? If you have forgotten, then let me remind you that the headquarters of MSin Industries is here, son.”
Rafael who was spraying cologne stopped midway and looked at the screen, “What did Valerie tell you? What will I do in Sangua when she is enjoying her trip?”
“Do you remember her friend, Nayla?”
No, Rafael didn’t remember any of Valerie’s friends, “She overheard Valerie when she was talking to a friend. I think she is planning to come to Kanderton.”
What? Rafael felt his blood run cold.
“Valerie… what? How is it possible, Mom?”
“I don’t know, son. When Nayla called her mom, I was there too. Her mom is my regular client and always orders the most expensive stuff in my boutique. Even if your wife is coming to Kanderton, just welcome her. A
good romantic dinner might bring a good Sinclair
