She smirked and walked down the corridor.

“You caused this!” Stephanie yelled at Carmen as she packed her few belongings.
Her body was shaking vigorously in utter anger, “You caused all of this! I regret the day you became my manager!”
Carmen who had been trying to keep her cool flew up in anger when she heard Stephanie’s last sentence.
“Mbo? Did you just say you regret the day I became your manager?! I should be the one regretting the day I set my eyes on you!
You are so selfish, stingy, arrogant, and aggressive! You complain even at the slightest thing! Nothing pleases you! You accuse other people of sleeping their ways up to the top like you didn’t do the same, you fucking whore!” Carmen snapped.
Writhing with visible anger, Stephanie raised her hand to whack Carmen’s face.
But before her hand could land on Carmen’s face, Carmen stopped her mid air as she gripped Stephanie’s wrist roughly.
“I’m done!” Carmen stated and pushed Stephanie’s hand away.
She bounced out of the office angrily and Nancy followed her.
It was already over for the three of them.

The rest of the day wasn’t so eventful in the broadcasting building.
News soon circulated around the whole industry that Stephanie had been fired. It was the talk of the industry.
After broadcasting the news she was supposed to, Emily dialed her husband’s number and told him she was ready to go home.
It didn’t take too long before the CEO got to the industry in the noon.
“I hope I didn’t take too long ma’am.” Joel stated as he watched Emily get in the car.
“Not at all mister.” Emily replied formally.
Joel chuckled. “Relieving.”
He drew Emily to himself and kissed her as tenderly as he could.
“Are we really getting married in two days time?” Emily asked, resting her head on Joel’s chest as he stroked her arm.
“Umn” Joel replied nasally.
Emily looked up at her husband and smiled.
Joel looked down at her and kissed her on the lips, Emily grinned widely and kissed him too.
Joel kissed her on her nose and she did the same to him, he kissed her cheeks and she returned his kisses on his cheeks.
Joel chuckled and kissed her on her forehead.
Emily wanted to Kiss Joel’s forehead too but then, Joel lifted his head, making it unable for her to kiss his forehead.
Joel laughed as Emily knelt on the seat, struggling to kiss his forehead with a pout on her lips.
“Yah!” Emily protested.
Joel laughed harder and lowered his head for Emily to kiss his forehead.
And only after she had succeeded in kissing him did she sit back on the seat.
Joel stared into his wife’s eyes passionately.
He moved in to her and started kissing her softly, feeling her lips as he moved his on them. He twirled his tongue softly, slowly increasing the speed and intensity of the kiss.
As he busied his lips, he ran his right hand through her hair, moving it down around her neck.
He then slid his hand down to her chest, squeezing Emily’s right breast softly.
He then trailed his hand down to her waistline, caressed it and returned his hand back to her neck and sucked on her lower lip, paying full attention to it. He sucked on Emily’s tongue when she gave it out to him and nibbled on her upper lip, keeping it gentle as he sucked it.
Emily pushed Joel with the tip of her fingers and straddled him.
Taking control, she kissed his left cheek. She moved her tongue as she trailed her lips along his jawline, making Joel go wild in ecstasy. She proceeded to his ears, gently nibbling on them as she licked them.
They had now arrived at the villa and the chauffeur had now gotten out of the car and held open the door of the backseat.
Joel carried Emily gently in a bridal style and stepped out of the car, kissing the parts of her body that he could as he carried her inside.
Emily blushed shyly, her hands wrapped around Joel’s neck.
She was conscious of the maids and guards around but it seemed none of them really paid attention to Joel and her as they all went about their duties without taking a glimpse at the both of them.
As Joel carried Emily into the lounge, he kissed her softly, moving his lips to her ear tickling her in the process.
He moved his lips to her neck, giving her hickeys and moved them back to her lips.
Michael, Evelyn, and Little Pumpkin who were watching s movie in the lounge opened their mouths as they watched Joel and Emily.
Hastily, Michael clasped his hands over Little Pumpkin as Joel headed for the stairs with his wife in his hands, paying no attention to them.
“Yah! There is a kid in the house you know!” Michael yelled at the couple as Joel climbed up the stairs.
Evelyn chuckled softly and shook her head.
As soon as Joel was at the top of the stairs, he kicked open the door to his room and placed Emily on the bed without breaking the kiss.
As the kiss was gradually getting intensified, Joel broke the kiss against his will.
He had to do it before he got to a point where he wouldn’t be able to stop himself.
Emily opened her eyes, “why did you stop?”
“Are you ready?” Joel asked huskily.
“Yes.” Emily replied without having a second thought.
Joel licked her face sensually, “are you sure? We can stop if you are not yet ready, you know?”
Emily heaved out a sigh and stared into Joel’s eyes determinedly.
“I am.” came her answer.
“But our wedding is in two days time, shouldn’t we wait?” Joel asked, huskily.
“Annyeon, we don’t have to.” Emily protested calmly.
Joel grinned and kissed her. “I want us to do it legally.”
” We’ll wait, okay?. . .” He whispered softly.
Hesitantly, Emily nodded her head.
Joel grinned. “Good girl. I want to take my shower, go take your’s too.”
“Let’s take it together.” Emily suggested.
Joel stared into Emily’s eyes searchingly as his bulge grew even harder.
Emily looked down at Joel’s lower region as she felt a bulge rise against her thighs. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out of it.
“Yes! Even the words you say turn me on.” Joel replied to her voiceless thought.
“We are taking our showers separately.” He said in a tone that said it was final.
Joel licked the corner of mouth as he looked into his wife’s eyes, thinking about his wife’s suggestive offer. He was surprised by how his wife had grown so naughty.
If they were to take their bath together, he was sure he would make love to her that night and he didn’t want that to happen; he didn’t want a situation whereby she would regret the first time they shared something together.
Emily’s lips twitched and she nodded her head.
Pulling Emily up from the bed as gently as he could, Joel kissed her for the umpteenth time. “We’ll meet downstairs okay?”
Emily nodded her head as she walked dejectedly to her room.
She really wanted her husband to touch her that night but her adamant husband wouldn’t budge.
Well, since he said they should wait till their wedding night, she had no other choice than to wait.

The couple had their bath and thereafter, met downstairs for dinner just as Joel had said they would.
As the family ate, Michael couldn’t help but stare at Joel and Emily occasionally.
He cleared his throat awkwardly, “hmm!”
“You two,” he began, pointing his fork in Emily and Joel’s direction. “. . . Should be cautious of how you. . . Hum, go around, playing in the house.” He stated.
“You get what I’m saying right?” He arched his brows.
“Nde.” Emily managed to reply as she blushed deeply while Joel simply ignored his brother.
Micheal smiled at Emily and pouted his lips.
“Emily. . .” He called silently.
“Nde, oppa?” Emily dropped her fork and looked up at him.
“Joel already explained everything to you right?” Michael asked, staring intently at her.
Emily furrowed her brows at what Michael said and nodded her head after she was sure she knew what he was talking about.
“I’m sorry, okay. . . Please forgive me.” Michael pleaded.
” Huh?” Emily grimaced slightly.
Now, she was sure she didn’t know what he was talking about.
Emily turned to look at Joel and turned back to stare at Michael in bewilderment.
“Oppa, I don’t really know what you are talking about.” She voiced out.
Joel eyed his brother and prayed silently that he doesn’t say they had used his wife as a bait.
“I mean, using you as a bait to rescue my wife.” Michael dropped the bombshell and Joel broke into cold sweats.
“Nde. Michael told me all about it, thank you so much. . .” Evelyn added and Joel broke into more cold sweats. He was done for!
