Daniel gripped her arm firmly, with the look he gave her, he didn't look too pleased either. Genevieve looked back, staring apologetically at Gabriel, he waved his hand. She quickly mouthed a thank you before Daniel carefully took her away from the room and into another, a private room, more of the VIP area. He locked the door behind him, pushing her back against it then he gritted out.

"What is he doing here?"

"I-i don't know, I didn't give him an invite. I promise" she thought very carefully, knowing it was Tope who did.

"I don't want him anywhere around you, Genevieve-"

"But he saved me from falling"

"I know, I know" Daniel scratched his hair, looking around "with the way he held unto you" he sighed.

She bit her lips, slowly looking away, she blushed at the intimate position they were now in, her back against the door, whilst his body almost sinking right into her. She looked at him then giggled.

Daniel rose a brow as he watched her, she knew it sounded rather queer, out of all times to sound girly, she chose now.

"Genevieve" he whispered softly, eyes searching hers intensely, he shifted his eyes to her lips, suddenly craving for them. She knew how to manipulate his moods.

"You clearly don't know you the effect you cause on men, do you?" 

She giggled again, making him chuckle.

He looked away "of course you don't, why am I even asking" then he looked back, only to see her grin.

She bit her lip nervously as she said slowly, in an endearing tone "why don't you tell me sir-"

He shook his head, muttering "Daniel"

"Okay" she said quietly "why don't you tell me, Daniel" she blushed making him groan as they looked at each other.

God help him if she continues, only heaven would save him from taking her right there. 

She smiled, shifting her eyes to his lips, then his eyes then finally rested on his lips. Their ragged breaths were now filling the entire room, she leaned up, panting then rested her forehead against his. Her fingers slowly found it's way, wrapping around his neck. She bit her lip one more time before finally closing the gap between them.

Daniel eyes widened as he quickly wrapped his arms around her waist, pouring his heart right into the kiss. He used one hand to hold her face firmly, owning her mouth, possessing her, making her his as his hand familiarise with the soft curves of her body. She closed her eyes, running her fingers into his hair, pulling, making him groan. This was the first time she initiated a kiss. They pulled away slowly as he grinned, resting his forehead against hers. He stared at her hooded eyes, uncertain of what to do to her then his eyes dropped down to her dress, how it hugged her figure perfectly. 

This was the first time he bought a girl a dress. It was his choice, the dress wasn't on sale yet in the market but he went through all the trouble, he had to pay triple the initial price before he could lay his hands on it. He smiled, it was all worth it. She looked like a snack. His snack.

He watched her as she peeled her eyes open slowly. She looked away quickly, she stepped back, taking retracting steps but his large hand snatched her little one. She gasped when he pulled her right back to him. Her heart stuttered and she pushed her face into his neck, flushing completely.

Daniel chuckled then whispered into her ear "where do you think you're going huh? You started this, now you'll have to finish it"

She shivered, pushing her face further into his neck. He laughed then grabbed her face slowly, she closed her eyes quickly as he leaned down about taking her lips but a voice restricted the occurrence.

"Daniel, you're up next. I know you're in there, i saw you walk in"

Daniel sighed in frustration. It was Vanessa. He nodded, then remembered she couldn't see him "I'll be right there"

"Say hi to Genny for me" she giggled before going away.

Daniel said with a smug on "she says hi"

Genevieve covered her face with her palms "that was so embarrassing" her voice sounded muffled in between her palms.

He chuckled, slowly pulling her fingers down "no, it wasn't" 

"Um-"

"Shh" he smiled then pecked her lips briefly then laced his fingers in hers before taking her out of the room. Genevieve blushed looking at their intertwined fingers, wishing it would always stay that way.

"Ohh! Daniel my boy, you made us so proud" Moira Savage, James Savage's wife chirped as she pulled Daniel in a side hug.
Genevieve couldn't help but smile, even at 50, Moira looked way too young to be regarded as elderly. Her clingy black floor length gown looked so elegant as it was designed by one of Nigeria's best. Her black eyes and brown skin, still glowing as ever caused people of her age to panic right before her. James was also perfectly endowed with heaven's best gifts, making them one of the most adorable couple in the country. 

"Something your son needs to learn" her husband muttered from beside her.

"Honey, not in front of them" Moira squinted her eyes then hissed before turning to see an unfamiliar figure standing very closely to Daniel "and who's this pretty lady?"

Daniel coughed, discreetly releasing his fingers from Genevieve's. She frowned but soon recovered and smiled "hello ma'am, I'm Genevieve, his personal assistant" 

"Oh, really? I thought you were..you know...his girlfriend"

"Moira"

"I know, James. Kids these days, you never can tell" she laughed. Daniel and Genevieve both turned to face each other then looked away, feeling embarrassed.

Moira chuckled "ahh, Vincent sends his best wishes, he couldn't make it. You know how busy he gets" 

"Busy with the ladies. Am I right?" James Savage hissed, he didn't approve the lifestyle of his son, moira nudged his arm, giving him a look in which he only shrugged broad shoulders.

"I understand..completely" Daniel nodded, it was obvious, his uncle was right.

"Moira, James. What a pleasant surprise" the elderly couple Genevieve met earlier stopped to say.

"Please do enjoy your evenings, excuse us" Daniel informed.

"I'll be on the podium any minute from now, don't go anywhere okay?"

"Okay" she answered quietly.

"Are you alright?"

She nodded.

"I'll be right back" he rushed, weaving his way out.

She smiled lightly looking at the ground, remembering what happened few minutes ago, the kiss, she felt him communicate through it making her blush harder.

"Welcome everyone, I hope you're all having a good time" 

Everyone clapped in response, some raising their glasses up in the air.

She chuckled as he continued "I'd really want to use this opportunity to thank everyone for coming despite your busy schedules" 

She continued to smile but it faltered completely when she saw Mr. Wale Coker slowly approaching her direction, she panicked looking at her sides, hoping he wouldn't recognise her from the office. She moved away and heaved a sigh of relief when he walked right past her.

Not so fortunately, a waiter walked right into her, spilling what looked like champagne on her dress, she gasped as the cold liquid sluggishly cascaded right down to her belly. The young waiter caught the bottle in mid air before it could cause any more damage, making sure to place it properly on his tray before turning to her. "Ma'am, I'm so very sorry"

He looked so scared.

"It's fine"

"Ms. It's not, I'm so sorry"

With a crooked smile plastered on her lips, she shook her head "it's fine, I'll take care of it myself"

He nodded slowly, stepping away. She closed her eyes, trying to avoid the stares of the few people behind her. This'd be the second time she was making a not so clean getaway.

She sighed as she finally got into the toilet, she washed her hands then took a paper towel to wipe off the stinky pink substance clinging to her neck.

"I really underestimated you" a voice said from behind. Genevieve whirled around only to see Melissa, with a not so convincing smile.

"What are you talking about?"

"The mystery girl huh? I couldn't put the pieces together earlier until Daniel had to drag you with him. Gosh! How sweet" 

"I don't know what you're talking about okay? As you can see, I'm clearly not in the mood for chats" Genevieve announced, raising the paper towel.

Melissa scoffed, folding her arms.

"You don't know what you're getting yourself into"

"Thanks for the heads up but I'm really not interested" Genevieve countered, imprisoning her rage. She dropped the towel and was about leaving when Melissa pulled her back harshly.

"You didn't even denial it, he will dump you...terribly!"

"Just as he did to you" Genevieve snapped.

Melissa chuckled "you're smarter than I thought"

"What do you want?"

"Daniel is filthy rich, he could get any girl he wants. If you thought for one second you were going to end up with him, well I implore you to think again sweetheart-" Melissa stood right in front of Genevieve then continued "-he couldn't possibly end up with someone like you, his PA. He needs someone of the same class, someone like, someone like-"

"You" Genevieve huffed in disbelief.

"Of course sweetheart"

"Then I guess you weren't doing the job quite alright" 

"You b-tch" Melissa raised her hand to hit Genevieve across the face but she was faster, she caught it in mid air, firmly holding unto it.

"Why don't you take your awesome advice and go somewhere else..Melissa"

"I hate you" Melissa sneered.

"Something we both have in common"

"I'll be the first to come at you when he finally dumps you for me, me, just me!!!" Melissa wiped off her tears furiously, anger billowing through her entire body. She huffed then went away.

'he will dump you...terribly' 

Those words shook her whole being, letting apprehension seize her. They weren't even a couple, yet those words stabbed her heart.

'he couldn't possibly end up with someone like you, his PA'

What if she was only going to be his kissing buddy and nothing more.

He hasn't even confessed anything to her yet, she was falling, falling so hard.

The thought of him leaving her made her knees weak. She slowly sat on the floor before her knees gave up. She rested her face on her knees, no wonder Daniel hastily peeled his fingers away from hers when Moira asked who she was. She would always be his PA.

"Is there space for two?" Genevieve gasped, she quickly wiped off her tears she didn't know she was letting out then turned to see Vanessa. 

She nodded quickly "yeah" and scooted over to create space. Vanessa let out a satisfying "ahh" when her butt made contact with the cold floor.

"I needed this!" 

Genevieve smiled then turned away from her.

"I ran into Melissa and she did not look too good. Whatever it was, I guess it'd be coming from here"

Genevieve nodded "you guessed correctly"

"Vanessa?" Genevieve turned to her.

"You said your brother wouldn't stop talking about me. Were you being honest?"

Vanessa sighed, playing with the hem of her dress. "After my mother died, Daniel went stoic, he was guarded to the point that I feared I might loose my brother. He was hurting so bad. As little as he was, he took to women, burying himself with lust. Genevieve-" she stopped.

"-for sometime now, he hasn't done any of those. Going to the hotel, to sleep with...you know..hot bimbos" she rolled her eyes.

Genevieve laughed.

"And I know it has something to do with you, there's this spark in his eyes whenever he spoke of you which was never there. He loves you Genny, a lot"

Genevieve closed her eyes, her brain getting to work. Daniel loves her? Then why wouldn't he say it?

"What about Melissa?" she heard herself examine.

"Genevieve, whatever she said to you was her in her b-tchy mode okay? Her dad and mine had this business agreement, they thought it'd be best if their children got together which was stupid. I admit he was into her but not anymore. There's absolutely nothing to be worried about" 

Genevieve nodded, looking straight ahead.

"Come on, he's probably looking for you"

"I'm glad I had this chat Vanessa"

"Me too"

* * * 

"Daniel could be an a-hole sometimes but he's still very much adorable" Vanessa confessed making Genevieve giggle.

"You were saying?" Daniel smirked as he advanced the girls.

"Speaking of the devil. Hey" Vanessa smiled, enveloping her brother in a hug.

"Vanny" he laughed as he patted her head.

"Hey! My up-do and don't call me that" Vanessa glared, shattering the embrace. Daniel raised his hands in defence then he stirred his head to stare at Genevieve, he carefully scanned her which he wasn't tired of doing today. He couldn't take his eyes off her. He smirked when she tried to avoid his gaze but was still caught up in the moment.

"Gosh! Get a room already, with the whole eye s-x. Eww!" Complained Vanessa.

"Vanessa, I think there's someone waiting for you" 

"Michael? Tell me you're kidding me?"

He shook his head amusedly. Vanessa inhaled and exhaled, she bit her lip nervously before slowly walking away.

"Boyfriend?" Genevieve rose a brow.

"Fiancé" Daniel corrected. "Shall we?" He offered his arm, she slipped hers right into it and nodded.

They soon passed the party's exit, strolling into the hallway.

"But this isn't... Where are we going?"

"I want to show you something" he smiled.

"What?"

"You'll just have to wait and find out yourself" he used his free hand to pinch her cheek as they got to the elevator.

 

A/n I'm deeply sorry it's coming so late guys..I've been on writer's block for a week now, it was like my brain was covered in fog. Very horrible experience. Thanks so much for understanding. You guys rock!
