Luke.

I woke up and found Tia reading by my side. I managed to sit up. When I saw the mark on her neck, I smiled, realising I had not dreamed it up. “Good afternoon, Luke,” she said and smiled at me, and I looked around.

“You slept through the night, into the morning. Your father linked me several times. I told him I will tell him when you are awake.” She said, and I frowned at her.

“Did he tell you why?” I asked, and she shook her head. I pulled her close, kissed her, and then kissed my mark on her neck.

“Mine,” I said, and she giggled and kissed her mark on my neck. “Mine too,” she said, and I kissed her and breathed her in. I did not want to leave her, but I had to see my father.

I went to shower, got dressed, and headed to the right-wing. On my way, I found Monica in my wing. I was very uncomfortable and angry. She wasn’t dressed modestly either. The girl looked too much like Stacy.

“What are you doing in this wing?” I asked her, and she smiled at me.

“I offered Gail to brief you on the meetings with West corp this morning,” she said, and I frowned at her. The girl was too damn stubborn for her good.

“The next time you go beyond your job description with me, Monica, consider yourself fired. Let me be clear about something. Other than the right-wing and the breakfast table, I do not want to see your face. When you see me, you hide. Are we clear?” I asked, and she shook. Tears welled up in her eyes.

“I.. I..” she was trying to speak.

“Get the fuck out of my wing. Consider this your last warning. Whatever you and your aunt are planning won’t work. I will never like or trust you, so please keep your distance.” I warned her and walked away from her. Then I linked Bart to inform the staff on my wing to keep her out of my space.

While I walked, I placed a call to my Secretary, Gail. She answered on the second ring; I was angry, but I controlled myself.

“Gail!” I said.

“Good afternoon Mr Moon,” she said politely.

“Did you send Monica Ranch to me?”I asked. She was silent.

“Now listen,” I said calmly but coldly.

“She has no business on my floor or being near anything I do. The next time she gets her hands on any of my business files, Consider yourself fired too,” I said.

“I am sorry, Mr Moon. She said you will be okay with it.” She explained.
