Chapter 6 - Chapter 6

Alex POV:

As I entered my luxurious office, I was immediately enveloped in an atmosphere of opulence. The sleek glass table in the center of the room gleamed under the subtle ambient lighting, while the polished marble floors reflected the vibrant colors of the contemporary art pieces adorning the walls. Floor-to-ceiling windows offered a breathtaking panoramic view of the city skyline, and the plush leather executive chair behind the spacious desk seemed to beckon me to take a seat.

But my attention was diverted by the sight of her, seated on the glass table, wearing a revealing mini gown that showcased her cleavage.

I asked sternly, "Why are you here?" She stood up, replying, "I missed you, and it's been a while l came to your office."

I gestured towards the door, saying, "You've seen what you came for, now please leave."

She approached me, asking, "When will you start treating me nicely?"

I firmly told her, "Leave my office now. I'm not in the mood for your games today."

She threatened, "Fine, I'll leave, but don't think I'll give up on making you fall for me." As she departed, I continued working on my laptop.

I focused on reviewing the quarterly financial reports for our company's expansion into the Asian market. The spreadsheets and graphs danced across the screen, revealing a promising trend of increased revenue and market share. I nodded to myself, satisfied with the progress, and began to type out an email to our investors, highlighting the key points and projections for future growth.

Later, my assistant Leo entered the office, his footsteps echoing off the marble floors. "Sir, I got the report on that girl," he said, handing me a folder. "Her name is Jenny Core's, and she studied business administration.

There's a lot more about her..." I interrupted, "Drop the report, I'll check it later. Tell my sister Annie to meet me now." Leo nodded and left, his footsteps fading into the distance.

First-person POV:

A lady lay on the plush massage table, her slender yet curvaceous figure draped in a soft, white towel, accentuating her toned physique. Her long, manicured nails glistened in the dim light of the spa room, and her raven hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night. The skilled massage therapist's hands glided effortlessly over her smooth, radiant skin, working out the knots and tension in her muscles.

Her body, honed from regular yoga and Pilates sessions, was a testament to her dedication to wellness and self-care. The gentle pressure of the massage therapist's fingers brought a serene smile to her face, and her eyes closed in blissful relaxation. The sweet scent of aromatherapy oils wafted through the air, further calming her senses.

As the massage continued, her muscles relaxed, and her breath deepened, revealing a tranquil, peaceful state. The therapist's skilled hands kneaded her shoulders, easing the stress and tension, and worked their way down to her lower back, hips, and legs, leaving her feeling pampered, relaxed, and rejuvenated.

But her serenity was short-lived, as soon her phone started ringing, piercing through the peaceful ambiance of the spa room. She saw it was from Leo, her brother's private assistant, and a sense of curiosity sparked within her. Answering it, she heard Leo's voice on the other end, "Annie, your big brother wants to see you in his office."

After the call ended, she couldn't help but wonder what her big brother wanted to see her for. Had she done something wrong? Or was it something else entirely? The questions swirled in her mind, making it difficult for her to focus on the soothing massage. She tried to push the thoughts aside, but her mind kept wandering back to the mysterious summons.

*****************

As Annie entered her brother's office, she exuded an aura of elegance and poise. Her slender figure was clad in a sleek, designer dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. The soft, pastel color of the dress complemented her porcelain skin, and the subtle sheen of the fabric caught the light as she moved. Her long, raven hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night, and her bright, hazel eyes sparkled with a hint of curiosity.

Her high heels clicked on the polished marble floor, announcing her arrival as she glided confidently across the room. A delicate silver necklace adorned her neck, and a pair of chandelier earrings added a touch of sophistication to her overall demeanor. She carried herself with the grace and assurance of someone who was accustomed to luxury and refinement, yet her expression betrayed a hint of concern, a subtle furrowing of her brow that suggested she was not entirely sure what to expect from this meeting with her brother.

Alex POV:

I asked, "Why did you visit Aunt Luis' neighborhood without your bodyguards?"

"I just wanted to see her, but she wasn't home," Annie replied.

I frowned, concerned. "You know we have enemies who are always watching. Your actions could put Aunt Luis in danger. She wants a peaceful life, and your visit could alert our enemies and harm her."

Annie looked down, apologetic. "I'm sorry, big bro."

I sighed and said "From now on, you must be accompanied by your bodyguards at all times, unless you're doing something personal. Failure to comply will result in losing your allowance and having your devices taken away."

Annie nodded, relieved. "Thanks for not giving me a harsher punishment, big bro." She hugged me and said, "I'm going shopping now."

Annie POV:

I left the office with my bodyguards in tow. The staffs greeted me warmly as l walked pass them. 'Hi, everyone! I'm Annie Grande, the baby of the house, and yes, I know what you're thinking - that I'm a pampered princess, spoiled rotten by my loving family.' But little do they know, beneath this polished exterior lies a young woman who's been meticulously groomed and disciplined, with a strong sense of self and a keen understanding of the world.

Shrugging off the whispers and stereotypes, I settled into the backseat of my sleek pink Ferrari, surrounded by the soft glow of the interior lights and the gentle hum of the engine. My driver, a seasoned professional with a keen eye on the road, took the wheel, expertly navigating the vehicle out of the estate and onto the bustling streets.

We were flanked by three black Ferrari vehicles, their tinted windows reflecting the passing scenery like dark mirrors, each one carrying a team of skilled bodyguards tasked with ensuring my safety and security.

As we glided through the city, I felt a sense of freedom and indulgence wash over me, ready to spend the day going shopping and treating myself to some of the finest luxurious life has to offer.
