The Proud Boss Lady.
Chapter 17: 17

"Freya, I ---"

"Save it Zed, I came to get some coffee." She added. She wasn't ready to listen to his excuses if he wanted Soraya then so be it. It's going to be tough for her but she was ready to get through it. She wasn't ready to throw herself at him by seeming too desperate.

"Freya?" A man dressed in a fancy suit approached her table where Zed stood. Freya looked confused for a while before recognising him.

"Lucien?" She recalled as she got off her chair and hugged him tightly. His hands roamed all over her back and rested on her waist. At first, she would have pulled his hands off, but she decided against it to see Zed's reactions.

Zed frowned and stormed off to his office in anger.

"I hope I didn't disturb you guys?" Lucien inquired.

"Oh, you didn't. Where have you been? It's been ages since university days." She recalled as she signalled for a waiter to take Lucien's order.

"I relocated to France after school to start up my fashion brand." He smiled.

"That's wonderful, so what brings you to Jersey City?" She asked again.

"Well, I have a deal with the FY fashion industry, I just came here for the caffeine before heading there." He answered.

"Your fashion brand is LH?" She asked shocked.

"Yes, you heard of them?" He happily inquired.

"I have and FY is mine." She dropped the news.

"What a small world, I'm happy for you. And excited to be your new business partner. " He told. They finished their coffee and left the shop to Freya's office. Was Zed jealous of Lucien? Freya couldn't help but wonder.

How could she?

How dare she bring in another man to rub in my face after professing love for me? He fumed pacing up and down his office.

Hey man, you ignored her for Soraya.

She showed you genuine love but you left her for Soraya.

Why are you mad now that another man is around her? His conscience argued as he sat on his chair burying his hands in his head.

Jesse grabbed a hold of Nichole's waist as she emerged from her room. She had been ignoring him for three weeks straight and it was killing him inside.

As usual, Nikki and Nicolette weren't home just the two of them.

"Let me go!" She wriggled to get free from him grinding his dick in the process and making him groan.

"Would you stand still?" he frustrated added as they got to his room. She stubbornly sat on his bed as he locked the door.

"What do you want from me, Jesse?" She asked.

"I am sorry, okay. I can't stand you being mad at me for this long." He expressed.

"Okay, so can I leave now?" She asked not interested in what he had to say.

"No, you can't. Nichole, I am truly sorry, I'm sorry for being a jerk." He added as she sighed.

"It's alright. I forgive you." She smiled.

"Thank you." He caressed her face looking into her pretty blue eyes.

"You're beautiful." He softly said kissing her neck making her moan in pleasure.

"Jesse..." She trailed off as she felt sparks all over her body.

He slipped his hands under her bra as he massaged her hard nipples.

There was no way she was about to let him sleep with her. She thought. Just as she was about to pull out from the kiss, he slipped two fingers into her clit gently massaging her making her moan out more. She gathered the strength and pushed him off her.

"I am not one of your girl toys. To think you meant that apology. You apologised just cause you wanted to have me?! How could you!" She cried out as tears fell down her face.

"Nichole, it's not that." He tried explaining.

"Save it, and please open the door." She begged as he did so. She immediately runs out to her room locking the door behind her as she slid down the door. As if on cue, her laptop started playing Keke palmer's Love You, Hate You.

"I love you so much

I hate you so bad

Said "I don't miss you"

You know that's not true

Boy I want you bad

I hate you so much

But I love you oh so bad

When I say I'm leaving

I don't mean it

I just want you back

Got my hopes up

When we broke up

That we would get back, always said that

No matter what we would be together

I want you back now more than ever

Feels like we on a roller-coaster

You take me up high then take me down low

There go them games boy, you think you're clever

You try to play me it's so whatever

Some days we on the same page

(Oh-oh)

Then we go our separate ways (Oh-oh)

And our love's down the drain

(Oh-oh)

Then I'm calling you again

(Oh-oh)

Some days we on the same page

(Oh-oh)

Then we go our separate ways

(Oh-oh)

And our love's down the drain

(Oh-oh)

Then I'm calling you again

I love you so much

I hate you so bad

Said "I don't miss you"

You know that's not true

Boy I want you bad

I hate you so much

But I love you oh so bad

When I say I'm leaving

I don't mean it

I just want you back

(La la la la la la la)

Tell me a way we can make this better

Boy, I want you back now forever. "

"Hey, Zed." Jackie greeted her brother who blatantly ignored her and walked to his room.

"Um, Jess who pissed in his cereal this morning?" She asked her sister.

"Hahahaaha, I don't know but whatever he's going through serves him right. I hope she learns the hard way." She answered from the kitchen. "You are right, I just wondered how he could fall for such a toxic person," Jackie replied walking into the kitchen to help with dinner.00
