CHAPTER 23💞24
★ THREE PRINCE CHARMING ★
<< KING COSMETIC COMPANY >>
“We can’t go back to being a couple, it can’t ever happen, so if you…”
“Never say never, Pearl. I know that I f-__-ked up in the past but I will do my best to make it up to you now, I promise” Max said as he took hold of her hand.
And that was how Jerome met them when he got to the lobby.
“What’s going on here?” Jerome asked and immediately, Pearl pulled her hand out of his.
“Good morning,sir” Max said, grinning widely at him.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Jerome asked hating the fact that he’s in his company.
“I will leave you to guess that yourself. You are the boss after all,see you later Pearl” he said and went into the elevator which whisk him upstairs.
Pearl went to the elevator and got into the next one and Jerome followed suit.
“What the hell did he mean by that?” He asked as soon as the door slid shut.
“I don’t know how he did it but Max somehow got himself a job, here”
“What! How on earth is that even possible?”
“Blame it on a CEO who leaves the recruiting of jobs to his employees. If you had taken time to interview the new recruits yourself, Max wouldn’t have gotten the job” Pearl said not daring to look at him.
“So I am to be blamed?” He asked and when she said nothing, he took hold of her hand and turn her to face him.
“Fine, I am guilty for leaving most task to my employees and as soon as I can, am going to get rid of that dog but let’s talk about us for now” he said, his anger gone to be replace by a look of love.
“Let’s not…” She was caught off when he pushed her against the elevator wall.
“Being a model. Is something I never thought myself to do but it’s the only way I can be close to you at work” he said watching her intently.
“You know it’s easy for me not to participate in the new launch production. There are others working in the PR team and I can easily get out of…”
“If you do then I will find another way to be close to you” he added lightly and lift up her chin to make her look at him.
” I love you Pearl and the more you push me away will only fuel my determination”
“You are being cruel,Jerome. You are only thinking about yourself and not considering my….” Her word was lost in between his kiss.
She tried to push him away but every of her attempt just brought her closer to him.
He plundered her lips, nibbling and tasting every bit of her lips till she was gasping for breath.
“The first rehearsal for the new launch advertisement will take place during the afternoon. Be among the PR team which will be coming, I want you there Pearl and I mean it” he said claiming her lips once again as the elevator door slid open to her floor.

“Yes, first time too right?” Daniella asked and she nodded.
“Am Jennifer ”
“Daniella though I would prefer you call me Daniel”
“Daniel then. Just like me you are finding it hard to locate your class right?” Jennifer asked and Daniella nodded.
“Then let’s look for it together” Jennifer said which got Daniella pocketing her own pamphlet while they leaf through Jennifer own.
Just then, two boys approach them obstructing their path.
“New student right?” One of them ask starring at Jennifer.

“Where are you taking her?” Daniella tried to stop them.
“It will be good for you to mind your business”
“Don’t worry, Daniel. I will be fine” Jennifer said as she was being dragged off.
Daniella was about to follow when she heard two female student say.
“I bet she’s being taken to Micheal”
“He’s definitely going to do something to her, poor girl”
“Why did she have to go with them, she should have run away”
“Excuse me but who exactly is Micheal and do you know where my friend is being taken to?” Daniella asked interrupting their conversation.
In an empty class, Micheal sat majestically while he watch his friend bring in Jennifer.
“What do you think?” Mark asked as he came to seat beside Micheal.
“Not bad” Micheal replied.
“It will be fun playing with her for a while” Jason, the third guy in the room added.
“Get up and turn around” Micheal said and Jennifer did as he said.
“Strip” he said suddenly and Jennifer eyes widen.
“Just do what he says. All newbies must follow his rules that is if you want to have a peaceful life in Crystal high” Mark said.
“B…but…”
“Stop stuttering and take the d@mn clothes off” Jason said scaring her.
At that moment the door burst open and Daniella walk in.
“Who the f-__-k are you?” Mark asked.
“The other girl with her a while ago. You guys didn’t tell me that you were taking her to celebrate since she’s a newbie and so am I and I want to join in this celebration”
“This celebration are for girls who look like girls not boys” Jason said which got them laughing.
“Wait outside, Jennifer. I will join you soon” Daniella said and when Jennifer didn’t budge looking scared, Daniella walked her to the door and got her out.
“Who the f-__-k do you think you are to do that?” Mark asked
“Why don’t you come close and find out” she said and the two idiots took the bait.
As soon as they got to her, she sprayed the pepper spray on their face making them cry out in pain.
She was about bringing out another one when Micheal slapped her on the face.
As soon as she fell on the floor, he pulled her up by her hair.
“One thing I h@?? most are those that meddle in somethjng that doesn’t concern them” Micheal said.
“And I h@?? bullies like you. You must be Micheal right?” She asked glaring at him.
“Will knowing that get you out of the Dilemma you’ve put yourself in? You don’t even know how to fight and yet you acted all strong and macho”
“Yes! I don’t know how to fight but I know the best way to hurt someone most especially a guy” she said and immediately, her hand went to his manhood which she tightened in his fist while Micheal cried out in pain.

He was standing by the edge of the pool when someone collide into him making him fall into the water.
Larry is a very good sports man but swimming is the one thing he hasn’t been able to achieve.
He was gasping for breath when someone dive into the water coming to his rescue.

He notice she left his side and in the next moment, she returned with a towel which she wrap around him.
“Are you okay?” Cassie asked all dripping wet.
“I am” he replied starring at his rescuer.
“Thank God” she said, sighing out in relief.

“I should be the one thanking you cause you didn’t make me a single woman again” Cassie said confusing him.
“Single woman? I don’t get you?”
“I already mark you as my future boyfriend or husband and am lucky that I saved you on time” Cassie said as she took off his glass to wipe his face.
“Single? Husband? I don’t get you?”
“Are you this cute and naive at the same time? I love it. Do you think you might someday fall in love with me cause am madly in love with you” she confess watching him closely.

Pearl was given a script to take to the beach where the production team including Jerome were waiting.
Her head was itchy and she wanted to scratch it when some of the papers flew away.
She started picking them up but one of it ended up stuck on a tree.
She began jumping up just to reach the piece but she was too short.
She was about reaching up to it again when she was lifted off the floor.
A scream escape her lips as she saw a man lifting her up.
“Can you reach it now?” He asked and quickly she took the paper while he set her down.
“Thank you” she said watching her saviour closely.
“Never mind. I like being the handsome prince who saves a lady in distress” he replied.
“I really would love to buy you lunch for your help but as it is am running late” she said wanting to walk past him but he took the script out of her hand.
“I can wait for you to finish and by the way, my name is Sebastian” he introduced.
“And am Pearl” she said liking the gentle man because he seemed friendly.
“You must be part of the team working on an advert production?” Sebastian asked and she nodded in return.
“How do you know?”
“I stay in hotel Zeus and I have my means” he replied.
“Do you mind if I stay to watch? Your boss won’t get angry right?” He added, finding it hard to stay away from her.
“Am not sure but I can help you ask” she said as they got to the beach.
The production team along with the planning and Make up and PR team were all present.
She notice Jerome busy talking to the director and there was Max helping the planning team since he’s one of them.
While Sebastian stood a distance away watching everyone. Pearl went to put the script on the table only for it to blow away again.
“Not again” she cried out as she began to pick them all up.
She was about to take the last paper when she fell on the sand.
Pearl was about getting up when they approach her.
“Are you okay? Take my hand”
Pearl looked up to see Jerome,Max and Sebastian standing in front of her with their hand stretch towards her….
