NIKKI POV
CMM Innovation Solutions
"Nicki's Speaking," I began. Clutching the phone closer to my ear as I stifled a yawn.
"So it's true the bitch is back in town?" A sarcastic scoffed resounded in my speaker. By the sound of it, I certainly knew who she was. The exhaustion I felt suddenly evaporates into thin air.
"What do you need?" I snapped exhaustedly. I just dealt with the devil now this witch. Can this night get any better?
"Stay away from Alex, Nikki. I'm warning you!" she hissed gruffly.
I was trying to control my temper but giving me a warning just blew off the little ounces of patience left. "So the wet kitten grew some claws finally," I scoffed sarcastically in my coldest tone.
I knew I hit some nerves there. I can feel her anger radiating off from the other line. "SCREW YOU FOR COMING BACK BITCH! I won't let you ruin our relationship and Alex!" She screamed hysterically and I had to pull the speaker away from my ear.
I grinned. My inner bitch were on fire.
"Tell him to get his hands off me because I can't promise not to give in. You called me bitch, and I'll show you what a real bitch is!" I grinned evilly. "I can take a video of us FUCKING WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND and die with jealousy!" I cringed after spewing those words. I knew I had provoked her tremendously. I could hear her breathing went hard.
"He knows better than FUCKING YOU WHORE!" she retorted acidly sounding like I'm some kind of a virus. Which made my anger rose to its pinnacle.
"Watch out what you're saying Annabel, it might bite you back. I can assure you, if I get so bitchy, it will only take me a day to win his heart back." I declared haughtily even though I'm not sure if he still love me. I wanted to pissed her to the highest level. "Take this brat, I'm going to work with him as his personal secretary, meaning, I'm with him all day long all weekdays. How was that? So you better get the hell out of my sight or my life, or I would let you eat your words."
This bitch really knows how to push my button. The other line went dead, but I knew she's still on the line.
Suddenly, I felt beyond exhausted. "Goodnight Annabel! You can have him all to yourself. You two deserves each other anyway." I don't want to sound bitter, but I tasted the bitterness in every word. "The Devil and the witch. Two selfish soul." I declared flatly as I ended the call not waiting for her sarcastic retort.
I tossed the phone on the bed thinking to undress when it ring again. I grunted as I snatched it back and without bothering to check I tap on the accept button thinking to give her a final word..
"Don't you understand, Idio-" My words hang in the air when I heard Michael's voice on the other line.
"Hey! It's me, Michael." He started. "Are you okay?" He asked momentarily.
I rolled my eyes in frustrations. "Ye-yeah," I replied tiredly. I don't want to talk to him right now, but my right manners kicked in.
"Honey, you left without telling me?" Michael's deep screeched voice filled my ear. I had to pull the phone a few inches away before I broke my eardrum. What with the screeching tone with all these people?
Then, I put the phone back close to my ear. "It's a sudden decision, I'm sorry," I uttered flatly silently heaving a soft sigh of frustrations, no hint of any sorry in my voice. Suddenly, I felt like I wanna punch him. I never interrogated him if he suddenly disappear.
"You're forgiven." I could hear the sudden changes in his voice from vexed to excited. "I'll come and see you, Hon. Besides It's been a while since I went to visit my uncle there," he blurted out making me jump out of the bed. I could hear the loud noise of the busy city, a bit distracting, but the thought of him coming is more unnerving.
When we start dating and Michael, at first he was very patience and loving and thoughtful. He left his ways, like whoring around, never failed to go to the bar and drink until he's drunk. He races every weekend, happy-go-lucky and the cop favorite as I call it. He always indulged into street racing drunk and he was caught countless times. Being the Paparazzi darling, he was always on the newspaper with the cop ushering him to the station.
But after a year, he slowly slipping back to his old self. It started when he got jealous when I had a very intimate scene with another celebrity for my first project. He just disappeared and the next day he was all over the newspaper with two girls clinging on both sides like a leech. I didn't bother to ask him why. I thought were over, but he came back with flowers after a week and again, he acted like an angel beside me. He was back to sweet and caring. I forgave him with the thought of he's just a man with wants and I can't give him. Not yet..
But for the four years, we have been together, It's always the same. He broke up with me when he's mad then he goes whoring around. I can't remember how many times he did it, but this time, suddenly I felt like I'm being used.
"Nikki Honey, are you there?" I heard his annoyed tone as he heaved a frustrated sigh.
"Yeah. It's getting late Michael. We'll talk tomorrow. I haven't had any decent sleep since I arrived here. The jetlag is kicking in my system," I explained sourly, as I put the phone in between my head and my shoulder. I took off my earring on the other ear and my bangles. Then my blazer and tossed it on the chair on the corner.
"Alright, then. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I already book my ticket there. I'll see you in a couple of days," he proclaimed gleefully not caring my nonchalant voice.
This pig is starting to get into my nerves.
But, for some reason, my mouth can't seem to tongue lashing him. I had to officially break up with him and not expecting me to forgive him again.
You just realized it just now, for that long? Until you saw the man your heart desires! my subconscious mind teased..
I didn't realized the phone was still clipped in between my head and shoulder. Michael already ended the call. I put the phone on the bedside table and continued undressing thinking to have a shower before sleeping.

ALEX POV
I was sitting on my chair in my office reviewing the status of the Rivas Hotel. Papers scattered in my big mahogany desk. It was mainly poor management. That bastard Carlson's Son. And why the HR team didn't find out who were beyond me. It's either they were cahoots, paid by the competitor. And that, I have to find out.
My head is starting to feel heavy. I was here in my office very early than my usual time. I decided to work on the Rivas Company before leaving to New York and work on the big changes in the Construction company I just acquired.
I wanted to impress her. I will do anything to win her back. I knew it's going to be hard, knowing her, she was too tough and I could see she don't trust me.
Her words kept reeling in my head, which made me smile like a complete fool. The ring is from her mom. I was relieved I was furious when I saw the ring, so I ordered her not to wear it when she's at work, what a fool am I. It just slipped out of my mouth, not thinking what to answer if she will ask me why? And I'm glad she didn't questioned it because I don't have any reasons at all. I know it's irrelevant.
I remember her in my arms yesterday. My whole system was in turmoil. I thought she's going to surrender but she didn't. I could feel she still love me but she was holding it.
I leaned my back on my chair and stared on the door with a blank head. After a few minutes, I focus back my attention on the papers.
I had to see all the 15 managers in different countries, running the Rivas hotels . They have to tell me their vision at heart for this company, and if it doesn't impressed me, their career is over. They need to know that I'm not like the old Rivas who trusted them so much.
I snatched the phone from it's hook and punch the green button.
"Yes, Mr. Morrison," Alana's anxious word broke the silence.
"I need you to make a bunch of calls. I want to see this people managing the hotel of that old Rivas, in three days. It's mandated, or their career is over!" I commanded fiercely and put the phone back down on it's cradle.
I wanted to see them soon but I want Nicki to be there. It's going to be her first training. I can't wait to see her in a tight fitted pencil-cut skirt.
I grinned at the thought. I always love the idea of a boss fucking his secretary in his desk. I can always do it anytime, I bet Alana will be happy to obliged but I want her.
Fuck!
I could feel my erection slowly growing. I promptly swatted the dirty thoughts that's running in my head and resumed my work.
I was almost done rereading the management system, of which I made a huge changes to be implemented soon and start the company gets back to its glory.

NIKKI POV
I woke up with the annoying sound that kept ringing. I reached for the alarm clock on top of the bedside table without opening my eyes and ran my finger for the snooze button. As soon as I felt it I pressed it multiple times to shut off the alarm.
It stops, but after a few seconds the sound came back. I grab the alarm clock and tossed it anywhere, and I heard the thing smashed into the wall, but the sound kept ringing. Such a sturdy little thing, I thought.
Arrggghhhhh.. I groaned in frustrations, snapping my eyes open as I look where is the sound coming from. Then I saw my phone on the vanity mirror. It's my phone that's ringing. I don't know what time is it, but I believe it's too early in the morning since the sun did not rise yet. It's spring here, usually it rises around six-thirty to seven in the morning.
I drag myself out of my bed and snatch the phone on top of the vanity.
"What?" I snapped as soon as it connect. I thought Michael called me but I heard Alexander's voice. I walked to the clock that landed on the floor. It's still working.
The clock screams five.
What does this devil wants in this hour?
"Is there any better things you could do then waking me up at this hour?" I grumbled sarcastically.
That bastard just laughed it off.
"Wake up sleepyhead. Today is your first training day, WITH ME!" He snickered.
"At this hour?" I asked incredulously and rolled my eyes in annoyance.
"There will be times you will work at this hour, but today my driver Rodrigo will come and pick you up. You better had pack your things. I want you at my office in an hour. Or I'll come and drag you here myself!" He warned coldly then he ended the call.
Son of a bitch! He just hung up on me?
I remember, it's today that I'm moving to another place. Dad agreed with the idea which made me wonder why?
I guess businessman has the same thinking which I will never understand.
Ohh... you just gained an enemy asshole.
No time for packing, to hell with him... I will come back tonight and pack.
I grinned with my idea. I walk to my closet and rummage through my sexy dresses. I'll make his day a hell. He's going to regret waking me up for work.
Then my eyes caught of the black sexy mid-thigh mini skirt that hugs my round ass with a white buttoned shirt and a long sleeve blazer. It was my attire on one scene of that movie I work with before.
I grinned when the face of my leading man flashed in my head. He kept forgetting his line because he was staring at my legs and behind. The director had to change his position instead of facing me.
I'll bring a big hullabaloo in his building...
I quickly made my way to the washroom and showered.
After like a century of putting my makeup, I was satisfied. I curled my hair and sprayed some volumizing styling gel to hold the curl and with a volume. I look sexy but formal with my black office attire. I grinned when the mini skirt showed as like a second skin. My whole attire showed my curves. Paired it with black 5 inches pumps making my long legs more sexy and endless. I wore my MK rose gold watch and an a simple earring to complete it.
I check the time it's almost six. I'm gonna be late. He's been calling me but I ignored it. I know his driver Rodrigo has been waiting for me. I snatched my channel purse as I stuff my keys and phone inside. Then I walked down to the staircase heading outside where Rodrigo was waiting at the driveway.
Let the game begin. I grinned. I slowly and carefully walk down the staircase. I was halfway when I saw my dad emerging from the dining room. "Where are you going?" my dad asked, his eyes are bulging in disapproval and his forehead furrowed. I know I felt like a seductress or a temptress.
"To work." I replied casually.
"Are you sure?" he frowned. I know he doesn't approved my outfit.
"Oh yes, papa! Actually, my boss' driver is here to fetch me. Isn't that nice?" I exclaimed pompously as I continued walking down the stair steps. I walk to him and kissed his cheeks.
"Good Morning, papa!" I added on smiling sweetly as I hoisted my purse onto my shoulder. He looks more energized now and happy. He was holding his coffee mug. I wanted one but for sure I will be very late. By the time I'm done, Alex would be here to drag me to work, his word.
"I gotta go, papa. I'm already late!" I kissed his cheeks again and headed to the door. As soon as I opened the door I saw a dark haired guy about his 40's standing beside a black Audi A4. He looks like one of those armies with their bulky bodies and straight face.
When he saw me his face turned red and he kept his eyes on my upper body. I grinned mentally. I know I have the body to tamed any guy. I hope it will work to him.
"Good Morning, Ms. Rivas. I'm Rodrigo, Alexander's driver," he introduced as he bowed to greet me.
"Just call me Nikki, as I call you Rodrigo," I smiled.
He opened the rear side door and waited until I got settled without bothering to look, avoiding to even get a glance on my legs. He looks flustered. As soon as he heard the seatbelt clicked he closed the door and slide in to the driver seat and started the engine.
After like a decade sitting in the car, we arrived at a glass-walled edifice, a sky-high building that has a name, CMM on the tip of the luxurious edifice.
I checked my time on my watch, it's 6:05. I check my phone, I have 5 missed calls all from the devil. I smirked.
Rodrigo pulled over the curb right in front of the building. He quickly opened the door and I gently climbed out trying to keep my undies hidden. Now I regretted wearing this..
Soon I'm standing in front of the skyscraper edifice and fix my skirt pulling it lower. Now, it's starting to annoy me. I had to think about the outcome of this plan to forget how tiny the skirt is. I'm here to annoy that devil and make this day a miserable hell for him.
I hoisted my purse on my shoulder as I walk sexily. I could see all the envious looks of the same sexes while the opposites sex's eyeballs was almost popping out of their sockets Some girls are giving me their disgusted look which I didn't care. This is to annoy that evil. I'll give him a run for his money.
I walked to the entrance door and the security guard obviously ran to open it for me. This is the benefits of being the sexy one, everything will be done for you from the opposite sexes.
I gave him my sexiest smile. "Do you know where is the CEO's office by any chance? Alexader forgot to tell where!" I asked sweetly as I tried to sound that I knew Alex very well, which I regretted because he grinned mischievously. I know those kind of grin. I grimaced.
"Mr. Morrison's office is at the top floor, Ms. If you go into the elevator there's a button that says, CEO. Just press that!" he smiled flirtatiously with his eyes skimming my body up and down and I wanted to poke those two eyeballs out of its socket in annoyance, instead, a smile broke out of my lips.
"Thanks handsome!" I grinned and turned on my heel and walked to the elevator. Some of the guys where stopping to asses me, while some of them was sending me their sweetest smile. Guys are flirting openly. I spotted few who walk into a wrong room then realizes it's wrong, back off and check on the signs again. It was amusing to say the least.
As soon as I got in the elevator, I heaved a long relieved sigh. I'm glad there's no one inside. I punch the big green button that has a 'CEO' in it. Seconds later, the elevator jolted and I felt it moving upward. It stops at 17th floor and a 2 young gentleman in their suits walked in looking at me and they smiled. I smiled back and prayed the elevator will reach the top soon.
"You are meeting the CEO as well, Miss?" The brown haired guy smiled as he tried to make a conversation.
"Yes!" I replied briefly. He seems nice.
"I'm Richard Abellana!" he introduced as he stretched his hand.
I took it. "Cara Nicole Rivas!" I replied as I smiled.
"I'm Colton Volkov." The blonde guy introduced, too, as he took my stretched hand. His last name sound Russian.
"So you're Juan Antonio Rivas daughter? We never see you around huh?" Colton grinned as he rested his hands in his pocket.
I was about to respond when the elevator dinged indicating we reach the top floor.
"Nice meeting you, gentleman," I smiled and walk through the big foyer, as I read the signs. The two man headed left. I heard my phone rang but ignored it.
Then I saw a guy that looks like a janitor. I approached him. He looks surprised and was openly gawking at me. I wanted to kick his groin.
Reluctantly, I asked for the CEO's office.
"Just go straight, Ms. and turn on your right, then head straight. The last door is Mr. Morrison's office." he smiled showing his bucked teeth.
After I thank him, I made my way to his office. Just before his door, was a spacious kinda like living room and a big cubicle on one of the corner not farther from his office door.
The lady saw me as soon as I came into view. She smiled, and I smiled back. She seems warm not caring with my attire.
"Hi, you must be Nikki, I'm Alana, Mr. Morrison's secretary." She addressed as she handed me -that looks like a notebook and a pen.
"Let's go, Just leave your purse here. He's been brooding since this morning. He told me to bring you to the conference room as soon as you step into the door," she explained anxiously. Suddenly her facial expression turned apprehensive.
Soon we were both walking to where the two gentleman headed while ago. Then we stop to a big mahogany door. I heaved a loud sigh and prepared myself to face the devil. I can't wait to see his face when he sees me.
Alana pushed the door and waltz in as I was trailing behind her. I moved to her side.
The meeting already started and Alex was standing in front of a big screen, scowling. The feels cold and eerie while Alex was talking with his signature stoic-stricken voice.
All the head whipped to our direction and all the gentleman's bulging eyes was fixed on me....
Including Alex's blazing eyes...
