Chapter 77 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

Bryan watched as she took off her clothes and he felt something stir within him. He had seen her in a semi-naked state the previous day when she had been dressed in just the red bikini, but that hadn’t prepared him for this.

Seeing her now, dressed in just her olive green crop top and a black lace pant, he felt his mouth go dry. He could tell she wasn’t wearing a bra under the crop top, because of the outline of her boobs. She had the face of a mischievous angel but the body of a temptress.

Her body looked so smooth and taut that he had to ball his hands in a fist to keep himself from wanting to touch her. His eyes moved from the swell of her boobs down to her taut abdomen and he noticed for the first time that she had a piercing on her belly button.

So sexy. He wondered why she had bothered to wear the jacket all day instead of flaunting her sexy abdomen to the world.

His eyes continued their journey from her tiny waist, down to her slim hip, and then down to her long legs which seemed to have no end. He didn’t like this woman, and seeing how his body reacted to her, he knew she was going to be a problem.

Sonia cleared her throat to get his attention, “You are doing that staring thing again,” she said in an amused tone, and when Bryan met her mocking gaze he could swear that she had stripped in front of him intentionally to get a reaction.

“You can’t put on a show and expect me not to watch,” he said in a lazy tone, deciding he wasn’t going to feel embarrassed about being caught staring. She could easily have undressed in the bathroom but had chosen to do that in front of him. He wasn’t gentlemanly enough to look away from a body like hers. No sir!

“Fair enough,” Sonia said with a satisfied smile. She was going to keep revealing her body to him little by little and make him lust over her. Lust was a good enough start for her.

She walked over to the drawers in the closet and took out her night wears which consisted of a matching set of a sexy silk bralette crop top and silk boxer shorts with lace trims, “I’ll use the bathroom first,” she informed him before walking into the bathroom with her phone, and the night wears.

Once inside the bathroom, she hung the night wears by the towel railing before turning on the shower to let it run so that Bryan wouldn’t hear anything. After that she dialed Celsie’s line, “Hey love! I’m home now,” she said apologetically as she sat down to ease herself, after dropping the

Celsie who had been busy reading a novel stretched out on the bed, “Yeah? So how was your date?” She asked, wanting to talk about Sonia for a change since their conversations always seemed to be all about her.

“Not bad at all. Went really well for a first date,” Sonia said with a happy smile.

“You bullied him into taking you out on the date, didn’t you?” Celsie asked suspiciously.

Sonia giggled, “He actually bullied me into going out on a date with him. He seized my laptop and writing materials,” Sonia said with a smug smile.

“He did? How come? What happened? Don’t tell me he is into you now?” Celsie asked in surprise. Although she wouldn’t doubt it since Sonia always had her way with guys.

“Well, he is gradually working his way there. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Enough about me. Tell me about you,” Sonia said, reminding Celsie about their conversation.

“Well, I’ve come up with a plan to solve all my problems. I’m starting by hanging out with Anita tomorrow,” Celsie said and explained who Anita was.

“Hm. You are sure you want to do that?” Sonia asked uncertainly, remembering what the old lady had said earlier.

“Yes. He likes her after all, so I’m just doing us all a favor. I need your help though. Have you been able to find out anything about my boss?” Celsie asked hopefully.

“Just that he is very good-looking, and he is an introvert who prefers to be alone,” Sonia said, and lowered her voice again, “While we were at the restaurant he called Bryan and was talking to him about you,”

Celsie’s heart skipped a beat, and she sat up, “About me? Really? What did he say?” She asked curiously.

“I am yet to get the details from Bryan. I didn’t want it to look too suspicious that I am showing so much interest in his brother,” Sonia explained.

“But can you help me find out more? You can tell Bryan about my relationship with his brother, I don’t mind. I would like to get close to him,” Celsie said, making Sonia raise a brow.

“You don’t mind? Why the sudden change of heart? I thought I was the mentally unstable one between us both, why are you competing with me?” Sonia asked in an amused tone.

“I figured if I become close to him, I might be able to convince him t transfer Benne to a different unit without having to lose my job,” Celsie explained, and Sonia rolled her eyes at the logic.

“Hm. Are you sure you want me to do that?” Sonia asked curiously. She really didn’t mind doing it though, since that meant Celsie would be interacting with two guys, Benne and Benedict Delgado…

She almost giggled when it occurred to her that both guys were actually bearing the same name. Benne. Or was Benne’s name Benjamin? Sonia wondered.

“Yes. He is making me very uncomfortable and I just don’t want to have to see him everywhere all the time,” Celsie explained.

“Alright then. I will see what I can do and get back to you tomorrow.” Sonia promised as she raised her other hand to scratch the back of her head where she felt a itch. She heard a clinking sound but thought nothing of it as she stood up and flushed the toilet.

“What’s that sound I’m hearing in the background?” Celsie asked, referring to the sound of the running water.

“It’s the shower. He is in the bedroom so I’m in the bathroom,” Sonia explained making Celsie sigh.

“Let’s talk tomorrow then. I love you, goodnight.”

“I love you more pumpkin, goodnight.” Sonia said as she hung up and dropped her phone by the basi sink.

She started taking off her crop top and paused midway when she remembered the key. The Key! Her heart skipped a beat and her eyes flew to the toilet when she remembered the clinking sound she had heard a moment ago. She shook her head in denial when it clicked in her head that the sound she had heard was that of the key falling into the toilet when she raised her arm. No!

Oh, God! What could she do now? Bryan had to have a spare key right? Yes! He definitely did have a spare key. There was nothing to worry about. It was an accident after all. It wasn’t like she had deliberately decided to flush the key down the toilet. Bearing these thoughts in mind, Sonia proceeded to shower, and once she was done she changed into her sexy nightwear before joining Bryan in the bedroom.

Bryan raised his gaze from his phone and looked at her when she walked in. There was no denying that this crazy green-eyed witch was sexy as fuck. Keeping his hands to himself for the next couple of months would be a major issue.
