As the wedding fast approaches, Oscar's obsession with Amanda increased exponentially.
He thought of how his staff had been a stripper and he knew nothing about it.
Or maybe she's not- just trying to put up some erotic acts and torment his mind.
He pondered within himself who she really is and what she really wants.
She's not like other ladies he has had in the past who are typically gold diggers after one or two entanglements with them.
But this Amanda Slayer seems not interested in his enormous wealth, but has even become friendlier and closer with Amanda.
Now he's sensing everything to be like a trap, a game plan all crafted by Amanda.
But the more he tries to use his brain to think and unravel the puzzle, the little brain behind his legs does most of the thinking.
And....there's where Amanda do have an edge, and she's definitely winning the battle.

Amanda knows when Oscar and his pals do gather at their private lounge for a short coffee break.
And so decided to visit them with the pretext of going for coffee.
Meanwhile Victoria Cole has asked her to try to find out about the Stripper's night from Oscar's buddies.
Amanda went to the next floor, saw the guys having some chats and joined them.
"Hi guys" she said as she entered the private lounge.
"Hello Amanda"- the three musketeers said in unison.
"Hope you didn't get any strippers' numbers for a home private lap dance"- Amanda looked at them and smiled.
Harry, who is closest to Oscar, who works with Zenith legal team said.. "though I thought of it, but that won't be legal".
Amanda then went to the coffee machine, told them theirs was faulty, prepared her favorite cappuccino and left.
Some minutes later, Ms Slayer got a call from Oscar, who invited her for lunch at a nearby restaurant.
"lemme check my schedule and get back to you" the IT guru now turned stripper replied.
Oscar waited for her reply, and those 60 minutes later was like the longest in his entire lifetime.
Amanda called back later and told him she can spare some thirty minutes after noon for the lunch.
***
Oscar arrived at the restaurant some minutes before time and waited patiently for Ms Slayer.
She came in like seven minutes later and apologized.
Oscar stood up and like a gentleman, helped Amanda with her seat.
"Thanks boss" she replied to his warm gesture.."that's so kind of you"
They ordered for some food and started the long awaited gist as they took some wine.
"How and where did you learn how to strip"- Oscar laughed at the thought of the best IT geek staff stripping for just the fun of it.
"My college roomie taught me"- Amanda smiled warmly to Oscar.
"But damnit...babe you were so good" Oscar with a lightened facial expression said.
He then touched her hands in a provocative way and pleaded they have one more randy session before his wedding to Victoria.
"With all due respect Sir..." Amanda pleaded.."I will say a big NO to your tempting offer".
"Why????" - Oscar looked confused and asked.
"I have been so close to your wife to be these past weeks" a remorseful Amanda said..."and I don't want to break her heart if she finds out about us".
Oscar confidently replied that no one will ever get to know of their secret relationship.
But Amanda was still adamant and NO was still her reply.
Then Oscar told her the real reason of their lunch together- he brought out some paper from his brief and handed it to her.
Amanda looked so surprised and asked what's that for?
"It's a new and better contract for you" Oscar confidently told her.. "a new position as the executive secretary of Zenith Technologies, and you get to work closely with me"
"Don't worry sweetie, it comes with almost 60% increase of your previous pay" Oscar politely said.
Amanda took it and said.."I will think over it and give you my reply after the wedding"
Then came a call; Oscar excused himself and had to go outside to receive the call.
He dropped his other private phone on the table and told Amanda to pick any call that comes in.
"At least that way, you get to practice being my secretary" Oscar smiled as he walked out.
....Few moments later...
A call came in and it was Mrs Laura Cole.
Amanda had serious thoughts about picking Victoria's mother call, but sum up courage and answered.
"Good day my little pie, did you miss me" was what she heard from the phone.
So shocked at the moment, that she immediately cut the call.
WTF....
So Oscar isn't just involved in a love triangle with her, but a love rectangle with her future mother in law.
She took the phone again, looking at Oscar who was busy with his call outside before spying at their private chats.
Amanda was so surprised at what she found out.
She quickly took a snapshot of their romantic conversations and dropped the phone again.
She sat upright, pretended as if nothing had happened and waited for Oscar to join her.
