Start With An Unexpected Affair

The door opens and Thompson puts down the silk handkerchief he’s sniffing and look to see who came in, the young man in his late twenties entered the office and give a bow before handling a file to him.

He open the file and brought the only paper inside, he have a look at it and drop it on his table, he pick up the handkerchief and had a long sniff on it

“What do you think? Is she cheating on me?”

“I did followed her and saw them together”

Thompson close his eyes slowly trying to suppress the rage and he inhales the silk like it is some medicine to calm him down

“Do you want me to…?”

“No!” he cut off sharply

“Not now, I will claim her back when it’s time” he said and ask him to leave.

Thompson pick up his phone after and dialed her phone number, he drops the silk handkerchief in the drawer safe as the phone rings

“Yasmin, can I get the contract file today?” he asked his eyes fixed on the paper on the table.

“Good, we can eat dinner together if you want”

“I will come pick you up” he said and cut the call.

Yasmin prepare to pack her things and check carefully not to leave anything behind, rather than the usual enthusiasm she started work with, she is more of distress and worries.

The words Talia said to her are still roaming around her mind and just wouldn’t clear off.

“An affair? Is she really having an affair with him?”

Being a married man makes it an affair, Yasmin has never thought of this fact neither did it occur to her that she has been in love with someone else’s husband all these years.

“I should have end my feelings for him when he got engaged” she thought feeling the guilt

Or after he got married to his wife but she didn’t think of it much then since she never dreamt of having a chance with him.

But then they had this accidental night together and even though she was so drunk, she remembered everything and another night together and things keep getting…

Yasmin stops as it feels like her head will explode if she continue to think, blaming and trying to justify her feelings for him

“Am I really a bad bitch?” she asked throwing her head back on the chair feeling worse

Everything feels like it’s wrong all along and she can’t seem to place her thoughts in one place, she should leave here as soon as possible then.

“It was foolish of me to come back here”

Coming back, she has not only failed at her revenge but fall more in love with him and committed an intentional affair, one she can’t believe she doesn’t feel guilty about, Yasmin can’t believe she almost ruin another’s home.

“President Black arranged a farewell dinner for you”

Yasmin look up to see the rude lady, the one who almost stop her from going into his office

“Is he going to be there?”

“You want him there so you could try your cheap tricks again? Well sorry to disappoint you, Our Boss is a very busy person and won’t have the leisure to attend some dinner”

“I’m sure he’s doing this out of courtesy anyway” she said and walk out.

Yasmin stare at the door that she just went through, she wonder what is up with the lady anyway, it’s not her husband neither it is any of her business but she keeps coming at her t every chance she gets

Maybe she’s another one who have a crush on President Black, Yasmin thought and chuckle, back then when she was his secretary, lot of ladies send flowers and cards to the office to confess their love and some begged in their cards to marry him

Not only ladies from outside but lot of the female employees got closer to her, became friends with her just so they could have a chance with the Boss but all of them were rejected by him and at some point he almost fired her for taking the gifts.

“Dinner…”

Yasmin remembers the plan to eat dinner with Mr. Bays and pick up her phone to text him she won’t be able to, immediately she drop the phone down, the phone rings and she pick it up again

“Now?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Okay, let meet at the burger shop nearby” she said and the call goes off

Yasmin pick up the contract and made sure it is the right one before heading out, she has planned to give it to him during dinner before finally submitting it for signature.

She gets to the burger shop in no time and saw him already there, she walk to him and sits down

“I’m sorry for cancelling, we could have lunch together tomorrow” she suggested and Thompson nodded with a smile

Yasmin also give a smile and hand the contract to him so he could have a look

“I’ll go get us something to drink” she told him and got up to the counter.

Thompson wait for her to get to the counter before pulling out the piece of paper he had prepared, he slip it carefully and make sure it fits in with the other papers while also watching Yasmin closely.

When he was done, he put the contract back in place and wait for the drinks

“After everything, I will take you away from him and make you mine forever Yasmin” he vows watching her walk to him with the cups of drink.

The farewell dinner is nothing like Yasmin thought it would be, there are a lot more people than she imagined and she’s rarely familiar with them even the ones she knows, all of them seems to ignore her and chatters amongst themselves.

Yasmin look across the table and try not to let her gaze rest on him, the lady who came to inform her of the dinner clearly told her the Boss will not be attending so she had thought dinner will be good atleast.

But sitting and eating with him made her appetite worse, she doesn’t even want to taste any of the delicious food passing around in front of her, it feels like she’s committing another affair sitting with him and having dinner together even though others are there with them.

Yasmin try to eat some shrimps but can only force herself to swallow it after it touches her tongue, she look around and everyone is enjoying this dinner except her and…

Her eyes landed on President Black and she caught him staring, she stares back instinctively and look away not having the courage to, maybe leaving the party will be the best thing to do but then again, it’s a dinner for her it’ll be rude for her to just leave

“Excuse me” she said barely hearing her own voice and went to the bathroom.

Yasmin face the wall mirror and let out a breath she did not realize she has been keeping, it really felt suffocating out there, she felt like she was battling with all the people in there about being right or wrong.

She brought out her lip gloss to put more and some powder for confidence, when she’s done she wash her hands and was about to get out when someone open the door.

At first Yasmin didn’t bother to check whoever it is but hearing the unusual sound of shoes made her turn her head back

“What are you doing here?” she asked shock to see him.

Kyler walk to her not answering her question, the more close he gets, Yasmin takes a foot back not sure what he is about to do, he grasp her before she could hit the mirror, didn’t wait for her to get out of her shock before locking his lips on hers demandingly.

Yasmin place her hands on his chest in a bid to push him off but her legs grew weak as the kiss deepens and she reluctantly let go and give him to his demand, their lips went faster and faster and she couldn’t catch her breathe in-between.

He let go when he caught that and gave her another short kiss before Yasmin manage to push him off

“mmm…I want to tell you something” she struggle to say

She is the one who got angry and ask him not to abandon her again and now she want them to have a rethink of things, it sounds so ridiculous after she had allow him have sex with her twice now

“We…might be doing a bad thing”

“I mean…this is an affair right?”

~

Kyler stare at the woman in front of her and he feels enthralled by just staring at her, at the dinner back then, he keep trying his best not to pay her attention but then he just couldn’t stop himself and end up staring for so long

When she murmurs and left the table, Kyler couldn’t help but think about the pink small lips and the urge to kiss it.

Struggling for a bit with himself, he made up his mind to risk whatever it is and followed after her into the ladies bathroom.

All the words that keep coming out of her lips seems to be silent and the only thing he could see is her lips which keep pouting and opening as she speaks.

Ignoring whatever she’s saying, Kyler wrap his hands around her waist completely and push her into one of the bathroom, he close the door after them and ignore her protest again as he press their lips together and enjoy the sweetness of her lips in his mouth

Yasmin try to talk him out but he doesn’t seem to be paying any attention to her, when he grasp her waist she was startled at the intimacy but her body didn’t resist it and when he pushes her to the bathroom, she could only wrap her hands up his neck and enjoy the moment.
