Chapter 11: Becoming a Treasurer
“Ah…,” Tredan laughed at her shyness and urgency.
He was drawn to her soft body and his large palm spanned the peak of her breasts and slid down the small of her back to explore the delicate petals of her pistil. His long fingers rubbed against it wildly, but deliberately not so deeply.
“Comfortable? Please me in return?” The hot breath Tredan exhaled in her ear made her subconsciously crane her neck. It was difficult to answer such a humiliating request for Octavia Gills, making her choose to bury her head deep into the crook of his arm.
“Mmmm…” Octavia Gills couldn’t help but moan again and again, in tune with the rhythm of Tredan’s attack! She was struck with sparks of pleasure from his strong and gentle invasion, and the pleasure felt like a great wave looming over her, practically drowning her.
It seemed he had really tired her out too much, and with a slight smile Tredan gently rolled over her soft and limp body, so that she snuggled and fell asleep nestled in his arms.
The next day, Monday morning, at 7:30am??
The familiar sound of the alarm on Octavia Gills’ phone rang through the spacious master bedroom, and the man and woman snuggled close to each other opened their hazy eyes, smiled at each other, and said to each other in unison, “Good morning.”
Octavia Gills lay happily in Tredan’s arms, never dreaming that she would become his secret lover and share his bed. How I wish time stopped right here, how wonderful it could have been!
“Why don’t you go wash up and I’ll get you a bowl of noodles for breakfast, or should I order the sandwich with soy milk from Extreme Delivery?” Octavia Gills had accidentally revealed her knowledge of Tredan again.
“Did you investigate me before you coming here? Or did you bribe whoever knew about my habits into telling you!” Puzzled but not intending to look deeper, Tredan pinched Octavia Gills’ nose and got up to get dressed while instructing Octavia Gills, “I have a board meeting this morning and I have instructed my assistant to prepare breakfast for me at work, so ask the driver to take you to wherever you want or to take you to work! ”
Once fully dressed, Tredan drove off in a hurry with his briefcase.
Octavia Gills washed up and put on a light make-up, her face flushed and slightly glowing. A happy, sweet smile occasionally reflected in the curve of her mouth. She combed her hair and prepared her contract for the hard-earned project with the Grand Property Company.
A sedate black Mercedes-Benz drove Octavia Gills to the Group Davi subsidiary.
“Delbert, you can just drop me off at that corner, no need to go to the front door, thanks.” Octavia Gills did not want to be seen by her colleagues riding in a luxury car, lest she cause unnecessary gossip.
“Okay, Ms. Octavia!” the Mercedes pulled over at the corner near the office. Octavia Gills peered out of the car, looking in front and behind to make sure no one around knew her before opening the door to get out.
“Ms. Octavia, will I pick you up here at the end of your shift as well?” Remembering Tredan Gu’s instructions to pick up and drop off this Ms. Octavia at work, Delbert respectfully asked Octavia Gills who was looking slightly embarrassed.
“No Delbert, I’ll just take the metro back myself, it’s easy, you don’t have to pick me up. Delbert, thank you for today.” Octavia Gills let out a long breath after waving goodbye to Delbert.
She wondered if she was right or wrong to agree to be Tredan’s secret lover. He had a girlfriend, and the Davi’s and Drye’s were family friends and had always had a good relationship. Did she make the wrong decision?
Octavia Gills sank deep into her own boundless speculation, reason told her she shouldn’t think about it anymore and shook her head, trying to push her thoughts away.
Domino saw Octavia Gills getting out of the black car from the far side of the corner and wondered who had given Octavia a lift, and since when did Octavia have a boyfriend? Out of curiousity, Domino ran across the road and took three steps towards Octavia Gills who was so lost in thought that she didn’t notice Domino walking beside her until she felt a tap on her shoulder.
“What are you thinking about? You seemed so absorbed that you didn’t even notice I’ve been following you for ages! And who owns that luxury car you just got out from? Tell me, be honest with me!”
“You saw it all?” Octavia Gills grabbed Domino by the shoulders and anxiously looked around once more, making sure there was no one she knew before she was reassured.
“What’s wrong? Octavia, you’re not doing anything shameless, are you? Have you been adopted by some sugar daddy?”
“Shhh! Keep your voice down, it’s a long story, I’ll buy you dinner after we get off work as a thank you for helping me so much, we’ll talk then.” Octavia Gills held up the contract for the project about the Grand Property Company and waved it in front of Domino.
“Well, you have a conscience!” Domino gave Octavia Gills a kiss on the cheek, pulled her along and ran to the office, “Congratulations Ms. Octavia, you’re going to be the head of finance at Group Davi!”
Having a tacit agreement, Octavia Gills and Domino laughed unimaginatively at the what will happen at the company today when they hand in the contract!
General Manager’s Office??
Octavia Gills went to report to Eddison with the information and contracts regarding the Grand Property Company project.
“General Manager, President Cruise is very satisfied with the project and has already signed the contract. Regarding the actual operational implementation details, President Cruise, the head of the Grand Property Company, wants to partly enhance the environmental protection concept. General Manager, please take a look at it.” Octavia Gills took out the blue file, opened it, and handed it to Eddison.
“Very good! I am very happy that you have won this project, and congratulations on your promotion to head of the company’s finance department. I’ve asked the HR department to make changes for you and I’ve had your office decorated for you.” Eddison stared intriguingly at Octavia Gills, who was so accustomed to the glamour of the world, that she attracts a lover as a hibiscus flower.
“Thank you, General Manager!” Why did it feel like this GM’s eyes were looking at her with such a hot gaze?? nah??she was overthinking it!Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“General Manager, I’ll get back to work if there’s nothing else!”
“Wait, let’s have lunch together, just to celebrate your promotion!” Eddison called out to Octavia Gills who was about to leave.
Dinner? No? Octavia Gills was reluctantly thinking that eating with him was too noticeable.
“Why do I feel like you are not very happy about it, I have saved your life, I am a valuable person in your career, and your top boss, how can you refuse me?”
“No, no, it’s not that, I was just thinking about what I should buy you, the General Manager, for dinner!” Eddison seemed to have a point, and Octavia Gills suddenly felt she had no excuse to put it off. Never mind, just keep a clear head!
