The past

Eleanor's POV

“Hmmm… Miss Eleanor sterling, why are you not telling me the truth” he said.

He glided his hands through my hair, down to my neck and stopped at my bosom.

I was wearing a tight pencil gown which highlighted my curvy buttocks.

I remained reluctant to admit it, and he smirked.

He grabbed my waist and thruster toward me.

“Argh” I screamed, and my cheeks flushed red.

Even though his aroused shaft was not in me, it was caressing the sensitive area in between my legs.

He purposely tormented me by rubbing against my sensitive area. I tried to compose myself, but it was all in vain.

“I…I… I don't know anything about it, Mr. Donovan. I'm just an employee in this company.”

“I want you to mind your behavior, we are in a public space where people are outside the door. If someone opens this door, it will definitely cause a stir”

I struggled to free myself from his grip.

He grabbed my jaw, leaned closer to me and looked into my eyes.

“Did you just say you don't know anything? Do you want me to rip off your clothes completely to help you recall, huh? He said in a deep voice.

I trembled upon hearing those words, and I looked at him with wide eyes.

“Trust me, Mr. Donovan. Maybe I look familiar”

I felt anxious and unsettled.

He grabbed my collar and pulled it down forcefully.

I was wearing a black shirt, which brought out my skinny figure.

My refined thin shoulders and collarbone revealed, and my skin looked transparent under the sunlight.

He looked at me, admiring my body right in front of me. The memories of that night flashed through his mind.

Even though I'm skinny, I was still plump and curvy in the right places.

He could still remember how I was able to satisfy him sexually during that night years ago. I was so tight that I lost myself in his, raveging me endlessly as I shouted and moaned loud.

Meanwhile, he leaned closer to my body and moved his finger up along my thighs and stopped at the hemline of my skirt.

I couldn't hold back anymore. His fingers reminded me of the night I got to my peak just with the fingers alone.

Just like years ago, he moved his finger into my underwear and moved it aside. I felt a gush of cold air hit my region.

The next second, his burning arousal brushed against my entrance, threatening to enter at any moment.

After being lost in my thoughts for a while, I came to a halt.

“Umm, okay, fine, I will say it” I said that to stop him from his pleasurable torture.

I pressed my legs tightly together.

I had a pitiful look on my face immediately as his hands held mine.

“I just remembered what happened years ago. You had sex with me and I responded. Doesn't that make us even? I said in an aggrieved tone.

And my eyes glittered with tears in them.

“Make us even? How? You paid me” he answered.

I was so scared while he pressed me down on the conference table. I was under his control.

“It.it…was a misunderstanding” I stammered.

All along, I thought he had forgotten my face. I guess he had always remembered.

“A misunderstanding how? I woke up and saw the dollar note you kept on the bed” he said, and his face darkened immediately.

“You thought I was a gigolo, that was why you flee after that day”

“It was a misunderstanding, I was heartbroken. That night, I was trying to get drunk. I never had any ulterior motives when I came to you” I paused as she was looking deep into my eyes.

“No ulterior motives, huh?

“Yes. I didn't have any, I swear” I nodded and exclaimed.

He believed I was saying the truth because of how quick and adamant I was to deny the relationship.

It made him feel like a fool for thinking about me all the time.

He let me go and stood to leave the conference room.

As he slammed the door, it brought me back to my senses.

As I remembered the humiliating position I was in a few minutes ago, I hurriedly got down from the table and arranged my dress.

I was so terrified?

Fortunately, work in the secretarial department was easier and more comfortable than the reception. I don't need to stand all day.

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

On my way home, I came across a Toy Store. I saw cute toys and wanted to buy some.

However, I hesitated as it cost a bit since I was buying for four.

“Eleanor Sterling”

I turned around on hearing my name. On the opposite side of the road, two women sat in a car.

Although it's been years since I graduated from high school, I could still recognize them. They were my friends in high school.

“Lucy” I smiled and walked to them.

“Oh my goodness. Is this really you? When did you come back? Lucy asked.

“Oh yeah. I came back not long ago” I smiled as I responded.

“ What a coincidence. Today is my birthday. I invited a few friends from high school. You know them, please come along”

“Birthday dinner? I'm sorry I will have to pass” I replied.

Even though they were old friends, I still felt weird going to a party with them after all these years.

“Ele, why are you acting as if we are strangers? We were so close. Come along with us now you are back. We need to reconnect.

Here, give me your phone number. I will give you a call tonight” Lucy said, handing over the phone to me.

I couldn't refuse her invitation. So I took the phone and dialed my phone number.

“I will give you a call later. Bye” Lucy waved as she drove away.

An extravagant party accompanied by loud music and a beautiful display of fireworks lit up the place.

The bar was filled with gaudily dressed women and men who were there to seek indulgence.

I walked into the bar wearing denim jean pants and a white shirt.

Life is but a dream>

I thought to myself while recalling the last time I was here.

That was the same day I had a one-night stand with Sebastian.

“Ele, over here….”
