AT MARIGOLD'S APARTMENT,
LUXEMBOURG CITY.
The rays of sunlight shone on Marigold's face as it woke her up from her slumber, she tried to sleep but the continuous noise made by the alarm couldn't let her to.
"Hey stupid alarm, its not like I want to sleep for a long time, no I just want to rest my head even if its for five minutes"
She complained sitting up to stop the alarm when her eyes met with the time.
"Oh my, I will be late for work again"
She exclaimed and hurriedly said her prayers then rushed into the shower
In less than fifteen minutes, she had dressed up ready for work.
She was dressed in a corporate trousers, a buttoned up loose silk shirt in which she had tucked in along side her flat, her hair was tied in a messy bun and her face was creamed, she didn't have to apply makeup as she still looked beautiful without it.
She had decided to toast a bread and have with omelet but she kicked against it as she was already late for work.
Locking her door she made her way out of the environment, she boarded a taxi which took her straight to the company.
AT MEGA HIT ENTERTAINMENT NEWS,
LUXEMBOURG CITY.
Marigold walked into the office and rushed to her desk, she halted at its entrance on seeing Mr Vincent who was seated on her seat waiting for her arrival.
"I'm sorry that I'm late, it wasn't my intention to come late, I'm very sorry sir"
She apologized
"I should be angry which I am but I'll let it slide just today, have you realized what is going on"
He asked and she nodded negatively.
He sighed in annoyance
"Why would you when all you are good at is sleeping, if you were awake you would have realized that Alexandrine is trending again...."
"Sir if you want me to go an interview Alexandrine Don'diego again, I won't, I already told you that I would have nothing to do with that young man, never again"
She interrupted him anxiously.
Mr Vincent rolled his eyes dramatically
"I don't know what transpired between you both and believe me its none of my business okay, now back to what I was saying, a rumour has been speculating but it hasn't been confirm yet"
Marigold frowned
"Sir isn't it the same thing I'm saying, you want me to have an interview with him so as to confirm it but I'm sorry I can't do that"
Mr Vincent banged his hand on the table which got her startled, not only her but every worker on their desk who then back to their various work
"If you just let me speak young lady"
He said
"I'm sorry sir"
She apologized
"The rumour have been confirmed, Mr Don'diego secretary called to confirm it and sent me his recording on it as an evidence"
Mr Vincent informed
She heaved a sigh as she realized that she wouldn't have to come in contact with that pervert as she refers him to as.
A thought crossed her mind
"I'm sorry to say but isn't it Mr Alexandrine that's meant to confirm this as it involve his personal life"
Mr Vincent turned to meet her gaze with a frown on his face
"Fine then, let me fix an interview with him, how does it sound miss Marigold Hosseini"
"I'm sorry sir"
She apologized once again
"You better be, now sit on your desk and do your magic okay"
He said as he got up making way for her to sit down which she later did
"Now get to work but first I want to ask"
She arched her brow motioning him to continue.
"I know I say its none of my business but what happened between you two, its been a week after the party, you know you can tell me right"
Marigold looked away as she faced her system.
"So now you are ignoring me"
He adjusted his tie along with his suit before taking his leave.
Marigold who had played the recorder to listen to what Mr Leonardo Don'diego has to say concerning the rumors recalled what had happen that day.
FLASHBACK
They were seated in his study, Mr Vincent had his eyes at the arrangement of his study room which would be mistaken as a mini library, aside the office stationary and furnitures which was organized at the extreme of the room.
The room was filled with shelves that housed lots of books that he was so sure haven't been read neither has it been touched.
Well even at that the room was still spacious, that's to show how large Alexandrine Don'diego study room was big.
Marigold who had brought out her recorder which was her phone along with her notepad and camera, tried to avoid the piercing gaze of Alexandrine Don'diego.
"Can we start the interview"
Marigold asked in a shaky voice
"Yes we can Miss….."
He paused as a smirk was on his lips after realizing that he certainly has an effect on the lady seated at his front.
"Its Marigold Hosseini"
She completed
"That means you must be a Muslim then and certainly not a citizen of Luxembourg"
He asked which got her rolling her eyes and muttering some words to herself, something he didn't fail to notice.
"My mom is not from Luxembourg but Iran"
She responded
"And your father"
Marigold stared at him angrily
"Are we here to talk about me or you because right now it looks like I'm the one being interviewed when its meant to be you pervert"
Mr Vincent was taken aback by her sudden response while Alexandrine had a sly smile on his lips.
"I'm sorry at her outburst sir"
Mr Vincent apologized
"Its no problem I understand that Miss Marigold is a little bit tensed, I suggest she have a cup of water"
He pointed at the side stool beside her, on it was a cylindrical shape of glass filled with water.
She took it and began drinking from the glass.
"I also want to apologize, I tend to ask a questions with the ones I'm being acquainted with especially the one who ruined my fun and dared to lay he...."
Marigold chocked on the water which got her coughing profusely while Alexandrine remained seated letting out a slight chuckle as he watch Mr Vincent tend to her.
After a while it subsided and she arranged herself
"I'm sorry sir"
"It looks like Marigold is still nervous, Mr Vincent why don't you leave us alone"
Mr Vincent frowned
"Why would you say so Sir"
"No worker would want to carry out their assignment with the boss there to point out their errors, I'm sure that's why she is nervous"
Marigold glared at him noticing the smug on his face.
"You are right Sir, I'll be back after it ends"
Mr Vincent responded as he stood up wanting to leave but Marigold reached out to his hands.
"Is anything wrong Marigold"
Alexandrine asked
"There isn't a problem, She's alright"
Mr Vincent responded on her behalf and took his leave.
Right now, they were alone which made Marigold get on her knees taking Alexandrine by surprise although he acted like he wasn't.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have disrupted your moment, I shouldn't have been there in the first place, I shouldn't have referred you to as a pervert and I shouldn't have slapped you although you deserved it but I shouldn't have, I'm sorry"
She apologized
He gave a slight chuckle
"You aren't remorseful, if you were you wouldn't have said I desrved it"
He watched as she bit her lips nervously
"You're forgiven but on one condition"
"Which is"
She asked
"You'll do anything I ask of you after the interview"
He responded and she nodded slightly without second thought.
'Whats the worst thing that can can happen'
*****
After what seem like an hour or so, Marigold tidy up as she got ready to leave his study room.
"Why are you in a rush, you still have your own deal to fulfill"
He said and she bit her lips anxiously.
Here she was thinking that he might have forget but it looks like he didn't, folding her hands she turned to meet him.
"And what might that be"
She Inquired
"You, I want a kiss from you"
He responded which made her shocked and perplexed, he walked to where she stood and pinned her on the desk, she got out of her trance on realizing the position they were.
"Alexandrine, this is very wrong…"She paused as she tried struggling but stopped as she felt his warm, soft and tender lips on hers
It wasn't a rough one but a passionate, intense and gentle kiss which was capable on driving anyone to cloud nine and in no time Marigold found herself responding to the kiss but it was caught short.
Alexandrine had unlocked leaving her dumbfounded and ashamed of herself and the fact that he fucking teased her.
She itched her head in utmost confusion before she arranged herself.
Alexandrine who had his back turn against her wanted to speak up but paused on hearing the sound of the door.
He turned to see that she had left and a smile tugged his lips.
{PRESENT}
Marigold sighed as she remembered what had transpired, she began concentrating on what Mr. Vincent had told her to do although it was hard, no matter how she concentrated, she always imagined the feel of his lips against hers and how she would like to have a taste of those soft, tender, moist and perfect shape lips of his.
"Fuck" She exclaimed.
