The Seductress

“What’s your offer Mr Smith” Selene smirks at the man staring at her across her office table or probably drooling at her. She taps her finger on the table as she let him have fun with his eyes.

“Uhh… If I’m ever.. to partner with Diamond corps, You’re getting a higher percent of my company shares.. and profits too” He stutters. Selene sized him up before chuckling.

“I can run Diamond corps fairly well without your partnership Mr Smith. why don’t you come clean and state what you’re here for. I’ve got loads of appointments!” She spat out. He rubs his palm against his pants as he avoided her piercing gaze.

“Fine Selene!… I want you!” Selene rolls her eyes and sip at her cup of coffee.

“Well I don’t Mr Smith… you’re old, you don’t wanna hurt yourself do you?” She smirked at him and he grins sheepishly.

“I don’t mind getting hurt… and age is just a number” He says and she nods.

“Yeah… you’re absolutely right. You know what… how about we talk about it the next time we meet” She forced a smile.

“It took me weeks to make you pick any of my calls Selene!.. You might has well take a year to meet up with me again” Exasperation laced his voice. Selene bites back a laugh at how he looked.

“It’s gonna be worth the wait Mr Smith… and it’s a promise” She twitch her lips and his face lit up with a big smile, like one who’s won a billion dollar bet.

“That’s quite reassuring… I’d be anxiously your reply” He says and she nods dismissively. He gets off the swivel and gave her a long hungry look before walking out of her office.

“Fuckin cunt!” She cuss and pulled the swivel closer. Lately she’s been trying to get any information on the guys who had raped her. It’s funny how no one seems suspicious of her. No one wondered who she was to mrs grace. Everyone seems to love her. She chuckle lowly and booth her laptop on. They should be, or she would make them to.

She scrolled through the numerous mails from the different companies she owned. Mrs grace had left her a life time fortune. And sometimes she wondered why Mrs grace would give up all her properties to her. She had put men in charge of the other companies, they were honest to her any ways. She had them wrapped around her tiny little finger. Afterall they already had a taste of her. And that was all she needed.

Her phone buzzes and she stared at it. Another message. But lately she’s been interested in a guy. She picked her phone and swiped at the screen. She clicked on the message and stared at the guy who texted. Zachary Campbell. He sure do knows how to send a text. His message was always popping on her screen and it was as though he sat his ass down, doing nothing but texting her all day.

She types his name on her laptop and smiled as his information pops up. Rich, classy, owns a fairly large company, good looking too. She leans back into her seat and shrugs.

“Nice catch…” She mutters. She pick up her phone and smirk at the screen before replying.

PICK A CLASSY RESTAURANT SUGAR, WE MEET AT EIGHT TONIGHT, DON’T BE LATE…

she read the message twice before sending it. She dropped the phone back on her table and buzzed the intercom. The door opens seconds later and her secretary, a slim blondie walks in. She’s been working for Mrs grace for years. When she got the news of Mrs grace death, it had been a big blow to her. She had been sad but the new boss who resumed weeks later made the pain less unbearable. She had instantly liked her. Same has all the workers in the large company. They had been tipped nicely and had raised their salary a lot more higher than it was. Hell, who wouldn’t love such person.

“Do I have any business appointment Gwen?” Selene smiles at her sincerely.

“No ma’am. But Bill says you have a casual appointment” She replies cheerfully. Selene palms her cheek and huffs.

“Yeah…. I totally forgot, thanks” Selene voice out and she nods.

“What do you wanna have for lunch ma’am do I make you another tasty meal?” She grins widely. Selene smacks her lips.

“Damn… that sounds tempting!, but I’m leaving home right away. I’ve got something important to do, but I’m gonna save that meal for lunch tomorrow okay?” Gwen laughs and nod.

“Sure ma’am I’d make it really tasty. Mrs grace had always loved it” She smirks proudly and Selene chuckles. The door opens and Bill steps in.

“You may leave now Gwen” Selene says and she leaves.

“Bill… We are gonna leave for the orphanage right away and I’d go home afterwards” She says with a smile as she brings out her makeup and began to touch up.

“Do you have any plans afterwards?” Bill arch his brows at her. She smears her lip with gloss and nod.

“Yeah I do…” She gets off the seat and run her fingers through her straight, jet black hair.

“Who are you meeting up with … a guy huh?” Bills says with anger laced in his voice. She chuckles and pick up her handbag

“Yeah Bill” He groans inwardly.

“Business?” Bill asks and she rolled her eyes and stop in front of him.

“Absolutely right … how smart of you detective” she replies sarcastically.

“Fine, whatever you say” Bill raise his hands in surrender and groans before opening the door for her to step out.

Shock crosses Zach’s features as he stared at the text on his phone. He swallowed and run his hand down his face. He pondered if what he was seeing was true. She texted back and wanted meet up with him. He had been in a business meeting when his phone dinged. He knew it was from her cos he had a different message tone for her. He could barely concentrate throughout the meeting and when it had ended, he had literally bolted out of the conference room and into his office to check the text.

“Holy shit!” He whistles lowly and rake his hands at his hair. He musters a lot of courage before texting back. He crosschecked the address a hundredth times before sending it to her. He punches the intercom and Wayne walks in minutes Zach bolts out of his seat.

“She’s texted back Wayne!, she fuckin did!” He rasped as Wayne let his words sink in. He mutters a silent oh.

“You sure about this boss?” Wayne asks a bit. surprised. It seems unbelievable that she finally decided to meet up Zach after weeks of texting and calling.

“Are you fuckin kidding me Wayne…. get your ass out of the office and drive me home” He grabs his phone as Wayne rolls his eyes before walking out of the office. Hell!.

Wayne halt the car in the parking lot of the cozy restaurant. Zach probably went overboard to book the most expensive restaurant. This sounds fucked up.

“How do I look Wayne” Zach nervously glancing at the rearview mirror to check out his outfit. Wayne puffs out tiredly. He had lost count of how many times he’s asked that.

“You look good boss… and really its just seven thirty. You’re thirty minutes early”. Wayne stops himself from groaning loudly. These are times Zach acts like a jerk.

“I want this to be perfect Wayne… I’ve wanted this for weeks now!, I’m not about to blow this one up”. He lits a cigarette stick and drew nervously on it. Wayne leans against the headrest as his mind wandered to his mom. He’d need to stop by a mall to get groceries and maybe buy more drugs. They’ve run out of a lot of things that he’s lost count. He sighs and unstrap his belt.

“Boss I’d drive around while you meet up with her” Zach archs his brows.

“Hell!… . no way Wayne…. you’re following me in!” Wayne turns to stare at him.

“Boss?” He asked in surprised.

“You heard me well Wayne… I need all the courage to face her. And you’d be there to give me the thumbs up whenever I need it” He grins and puffs out smoke. Wayne scoffs lowly.

“Is it necessary… I mean you’d be alright boss… I really don’t wanna be in there” He groans.

“No arguments Wayne… I’m not in for that right now” Zach rolls down the window and toss the half burnt stick out.

“I think I’m set to go in now” He runs his palm down his oiled hair. Wayne says nothing, face taut with anger as he gets out of the car and opened the door for Zach to step out.

…

Selene walks into the double doors of the expensive restaurant with a small smile on her lips. The guy has obviously got class. She looked around and her eyes settle on the man she came for. She walked towards the booth and as always men were shamelessly staring at her not minding they were with their dates.

Zach rubs his palm against his black pants nervously. It seemed surreal. Selene the fair skinned goddess was about to have a date with him. And they may probably spend the night together in some posh hotel. He gets off his seat as Selene gets to him.

“Hi…” He stuttered. Selene dazzling smile left him breathless. Gawd!, he’s been a player for a long while but ever since he saw Selene he’s been obsessed with her.

“Thanks so much for honoring this date Selene… it means a lot” Zach grins as she seat.

“You’re early… I love that” Selene says and Zach swallows and glanced sideways at Wayne who was sitting a table away from theirs and watching them over the rim of his champagne flute.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I hate to keep a lady waiting…. You’re beautiful Selene” Zach grins as he trail his eyes down her figure clad in a v neck dress. Her long dark hair framed her face. Just with a dab of powder and lip gloss yet she looked breathtaking. she nods.

“Yeah right I know” She leaned back into her seat as she let him feast his eyes on her. A waitress approaches their table.

“I’d just have wine” Selene tells her and she nods, trying to keep the surprise off her face at the sight of Selene.

“Water” Zach says and she leaves. Selene returns her gaze to him and it’s with a smirk.

“So…. what do you want from me” She entwined her fingers and Zach looks kinda lost for moments. Courage was gradually failing him. He takes another sideways glance at Wayne. Wayne groans and nod slowly.

Selene eyes follows his gaze and it stops on a guy sitting a table away. She paused to stare at him. Adrenaline ran down her spine. Fuck!, who the hell is this. He’s a totally hot. She felt her body heat up in all the unusual places as he sets his eyes on her.

“Selene….” Zach calls and she turns to meet his gaze. She scoff lowly and push back her chair.

“We are rescheduling this meeting Sugar…” Zach face clouds but before he could protest she had gotten up and was walking towards Wayne.

Wayne archs his brows as Selene walks towards him. He wondered for a splitting moment if she was coming towards him. She stops at his table and lower her butt on the seat across him. Flipping her hair back she gave him her best watery smile.

“Hi… I’m Selene” She voice out lowly.

Her boldness left him startled. Wayne stared back and he took in her deep shade of amber coloured eyes. And for the thousandth time Wayne wondered why she was this beautiful??
