Chapter30

Christina had suspended her for a month. I would use this moment in her absence to get closer to her mother and sawyer. That was the only chance I had because I couldn't get close to them when she'd be around. I wanted to start showing her that I was interested in her and only her and I couldn't if she was around while I got Sawyer and Christina into my trap. Like my dad had said, Christina had always been a lustful woman. I would use that to my advantage. Her own lust would lead to her downfall. And if Sawyer resembled her so much in character, then it would be more than easy. Things would change. A lot. I wiped my tears and went into the bathroom to wash my face. After that, I returned to bed and tried to get some sleep. *** Monday morning, I got ready for work at six. Before seven, I was already in my car, heading for the office. I reached and made my way to my office. As I walked down the hallway, I met with Sawyer. I stopped in front of her. "Good morning, Sawyer." I said politely with a smile. She seemed slightly surprised but smiled back. "G– good morning, Ace." I looked at her from head to toe. "You look very beautiful this morning." She blushed and raised a brow at me. "So, I'm not beautiful other mornings? Just this one morning in particular?" she asked teasingly, folding her arms. "You know you always are." I smirked and she blushed even more, avoiding my eyes. "That's why I used very, because this particular morning you are very beautiful." She smirked, clearly loving the compliments. "Thanks. Hm, seems like someone woke up happy this morning." she smiled. "Why say so?" "You're all smiley and giving me compliments. Seems like this is the other side of you?" "Yeah. You like it?" I teased a little. She giggled and tucked her hair behind her ear. "I love." she replied with that little smirk of hers. "Perfect." I smiled and walked past her to my office. I felt her watching me as I walked away. Idiot. 'You don't know what's coming, honey. It's just a fucking start. It's too easy.' I entered my office and dropped my briefcase before collapsing on my chair. I had to be wise and discreet. I had to get both mother and daughter in my hands without me losing or pushing away my true heartbeat, Heather. I had to be discreet in a way that both mother and daughter would not know that I was luring them both. I hated Christina but I had to, at all cost, succeed in my plans. It was just the start of their downfall like I'd said earlier. I worked while waiting for the right time to go meet Christina. I waited for lunchtime to reach. When it did reach, I left my office and made my way to hers. I knocked at her door and she asked me to enter. I did. "Good afternoon, Mrs Welds." I said with a smile as I entered her office. She smiled back. "Hello, Ace. I told you to call me Christina." "Alright." I took a seat, "Christina." She smiled. "That's more like it. I didn't see you this morning." "I was too busy with the paper work." "Okay. You- you seem happy this morning." "Yeah, I'm quite in my mood today." I looked at her. She stared back with a little smirk. Christina's POV: I felt some sort attraction or sexual tension between Ace and I. Or maybe I was just imagining things. Yes, I was probably imagining things. I always imagined things of that sort. Anyway, Ace was a young stud that I was planning to have. To add to my list. I'd always been the same. I didn't change. As I grew older, my tastes for younger men in particular, remained the same. I didn't care. I'd always been shameless. I had the right to do what I wanted. "So, why did you come to my office? Aren't you going for lunch?" I asked. "I am." "Then?" "Well," he adjusted his tie in an uncomfortable way, as if he was nervous or something, "...I'm only an employee but I really wanna try that sushi out with you." he smirked. I felt goosebumps take over my skin. He was a hottie alright. "Really?" "Yeah. Last time I refused your invitation in a rather rude manner. Well, I wanna catch up." "Hm, okay. Let's go then." I got my cars keys. He stopped me. "I'm sorry but your car keys would be useless. I have a car." My brows shot up. "You have a car?" "Um, yes." He looked rich and independent. The kind of young man with the right diplomas to build his own company. Why did he come to work as a secretary? "Okay then, Ace." I slightly bit my lower lip. He noticed. I'd wanted him to and he gave me a knowing smirk to confirm it. "Let's go." He stood up and went over to open the door for me. "After you, ma'am." I smiled and made my way for the door. "I wonder what the other employees would think." I said. "Well, your car has a little problem and so you asked your secretary to drive you to the sushi restaurant." he smiled. I laughed a little. "Good." I felt like I would really appreciate this sympathetic side of him. He was a nice guy on the inside apparently. And I was planning on flirting with him. And even doing more. Ace's POV: Christina was a disgusting woman. Very easy to fool. She probably already had thoughts of getting closer to me. I'd simply invited her for lunch, yet she had already started flirting. The smiles I gave her were a sign of my slowly approaching victory, she thought they were positive answers to her approaches.
