Once they got into the bathroom and Sonia covered her hair with the shower cap, Bryan turned on the hot and cold faucets of the shower so that the water was warm, and then moved Sonia to stand under the shower.
“What are you doing?” She asked as she watched him pour a quantity of her shower gel onto his palm.
“Bathing you,” Bryan said as he moved to where she was and turned off the shower before rubbing the shower gel over her wet body.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Sonia asked when she started feeling goosebumps all over her body at his touch.
“I don’t see why not,” Bryan said as he massaged the soap on her boobs like he had done the massage gel the previous night, allowing his fingers to linger on her nipple.
“It’s going to be a long morning,” Sonia said with a throaty moan as she let him have his way with her.
“What do you think?” Celsie asked, turning around for Benne to inspect the strapless red jumpsuit she was wearing, with a white blazer over it and a pair of half-covered high heeled white sandals which were decorated all over with diamond stones.
They had stopped by a clothes shop for her to change out of the clothes she had worn the previous day before they head to the office.
“Would I sound like a know-it-all if I said that I knew you were going to pick the jumpsuit the moment I set my eyes on it?”
“You wouldn’t. Did you?” Celsie asked with a curious smile.
“I did. You know how you see an outfit and you can picture it on someone? It is just an outfit I can imagine you on. It’s beautiful and classy just like you,” Benne said, giving her a thumbs up.
Celsie smiled, “I will have it then,” Celsie said, giving the sales attendant a nod.
“Are you sure that’s all you want? You could get some more stuff so that we don’t need to go back to your place to pick up anything after the close of work,” Benne suggested as he watched her from where he was seated.
“Don’t worry. I intend to shop for new clothes, but not when I’m in a hurry to get to the office. I have the whole of the weekend to shop. If you don’t want us to go to my place, we could just buy whatever I need for the weekend on our way back from work. I will try to make a list of everything I want to buy,” Celsie said with a happy smile as she looked at Benne, making him chuckle.
“One minute you’re giving me the impression that you’re not materialistic, and the next moment you are just something else,” Benne said in amusement, and Celsie plopped on the couch next to him.
“Is that a complaint I hear in your voice?” She asked with a slightly raised brow.
“I wouldn’t dare. You can get whatever you need,” Benne assured her with a chuckle and she pecked his cheek, ignoring the sales attendant who was watching them both with fascination.
They both didn’t care about the presence of the sales attendant since they knew that she had no idea who Benne was. To her, they were just like every other couple who walks into the shop to get clothes.
Once they took care of the bills, they walked out of the shop together. Benne walked over to Celsie’s side of the car and opened the car door for her before dropping the bag he was carrying, which contained the clothes Celsie had taken off.
“Thank you,” Celsie told him when he joined her in the car.
“Don’t mention,” Benne said as he turned on the car’s ignition and drove them to the company.
“So… see you after work,” Celsie told Benne as she got ready to alight from the car a few minutes later when he drove into the driving lot of the company.
“Aren’t you forgetting something?” Benne asked, watching her curiously, and her hand faltered on the door.
“What?”
“They know we are dating now. Shouldn’t you kiss me goodbye before leaving?” Benne asked, and then Celsie looked ahead of them to see some of the staff who had arrived early standing by the entrance of the company and looking in their direction as if to confirm the rumors that they had heard.
Celsie’s stomach sank nervously. She had forgotten all about yesterday and all about Anita. She suddenly felt nervous all over again now that they were back to reality and she realized that she needed to face others.
Although she knew that what she did, or who she did what with, wasn’t supposed to be anyone’s business, she couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable.
“What are you thinking about?” Benne asked as he watched her brows furrow, and she shrugged dismissively.
There was no point telling him what she was thinking about. She was just going to end up making him feel worried about her, “Nothing,” she said with a small smile as she leaned forward and brushed her lips against his, “I don’t want to see you talking to any female for longer than a minute,” Celsie warned as she got off the car, and Benne smiled as he watched her leave.
Once she disappeared from view, the smile disappeared from his face. He could tell that she was still very worried. He had only managed to distract her the previous evening, but the things that were bothering her were still present and he needed to take care of them.
He picked up his phone and decided to first give Anita a call. He needed to see if he could learn what she was up to before making any move. He dialed her line and waited patiently for the call to connect while trying to calm himself so he wouldn’t lose his cool.
Anita who had just driven into the parking lot of Ocean Airlines picked up her phone and raised a brow when she noticed that it was Benne who was calling. Not just any random Benne, but the CEO himself, Benedict Delgado.
Without giving it a second thought she received the call, “I never thought you would dial my line again,” she greeted in a cheerful tone once the call connected.
“I never thought I would have any reason to either. Why did you talk to Celsie?” Benne asked without wasting time.
“You mean your boss?” Anita asked, trying to play ignorant.
“I mean my girlfriend, Celsie. And yes, my boss if that’s what you know her to be. Why did you talk to her about our past relationship when we both agreed to pretend that it never happened?” Benne asked, wanting to humor her.
“I thought I could pretend that it never happened, but I can’t. I miss you so much, Benne. I miss your company and how you…”
