Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 33

The room was silent. No one spoke a word as Lucifer walked into the meeting and sat down in his chair. The room’s atmosphere had changed with Lucifer’s presence. It was easy to see the nervousness in the faces of the people at the meeting.

“Show me your presentation, Mister Covle.” Lucifer spoke up. As Covle stood up to give his presentation, everyone’s attention shifted to the presentation and most of the directors seemed to like it.

“So what do you think, Mister Knight?” inquired one of the shareholders of the company.

Lucifer did not say anything in response. He silently stood up from his chair and was walking towards the door. Before anyone could say anything or try to stop him, he turned around.

“Next time, don’t set up a meeting if you cannot prepare a proper presentation.” His statement left everyone speechless. He walked out of the meeting room and went back to his office.

He was frustrated for many reasons.

That son of a bitch Covle thought I’d do business with him..

He pinched the bridge of his nose and gritted his teeth. He just wanted to go home. Not because he was tired of his work but because his eyes were aching to see her. He did have a single picture of her that he took when she was not noticing; when she looked irresistible. He took out his phone and looked at her photo. Even though she was working that time. She still looked so gorgeous. He just wanted her close to him. Always.

Hours passed within a blink of an eye and it was almost evening time now. He looked at his wrist watch that showed 4:30 pm. He didn’t realize he skipped his lunch. But still, he could not go just yet as he had to complete some other things in the office. How he was hating it!

He leaned back on his seat and rested his head. Closing his eyes, he felt his muscle relax as his mind got filled with August’s thoughts. He missed her small petite body underneath him, squirming to get away. Her soft creamy skin.

A low growl erupted from him. He was tired of having to imagining everyday what he wanted do with her. He wanted to take another step further.

Lucifer pinched the bridge of his nose. He had to meet someone in the nearest restaurant.

This goddamn Matthew, didn’t he have another place to hold the meeting?! Who on earth chooses a restaurant for an official meeting?

Matthew was his very old friend from his collage days. They studied together, he was one of Lucifer’s the closest friends, and his biggest rival. Since college, they both were the best in everything. Sports and studies. So, now the two friends decided that they should extend their friendship to business partnership. As he was an old friend he could not refuse Matthew’s request to meet him at a restaurant rather than at his office. He wanted a friendly meeting with Lucifer.

He caught a glimpse of his watch, Matthew had scheduled the meeting at 6 p.m,. He still had enough time to attend it, but he thought of completing some of his works before leaving.

Meanwhile at Lucifer’s house, the maids were working as usual. August was working in the garden, she loved that job way too much. And she noticed Lucifer’s garden was much bigger and more beautiful than his parents’ garden. Gardens were the only place where she really enjoyed her life and felt peace. It was a bit late for her to be working there but she didn’t mind. If it wasn’t for Lucifer, she would have liked that place so much. All the girls were so friendly, Ela was little different than Martha which was obvious, but she was not that bad either. August was glad she did not encountered Lucifer for few days, she was thankful but deep inside she was scared because she knew that when he eventually does come to her... the same things will happen again.

She sighed and got up. She was almost done with her work and it was too late so she thought to continue her work the next day. She gathered her gardening tools and was on her way inside the house. She abruptly stopped when she noticed a black car parked near the gate, two guards approached and opened the gate to let the car in. She stood there confused. Since the time she had arrived in that house, no one had visited Lucifer.

Maybe it’s one of his family member.

Her confusion came to a stop when she saw Ebenezer getting out of the car. He was wearing a dark green shirt with his sleeves rolled up and a grey formal trousers, and black sunglasses. He looked unbelievably handsome in that attire. He was typing on his phone and was walking towards the house. August tensed when she saw him coming closer to where she was standing. She quickly started to walk away.

“Hey August!” Oh no...he saw me. She thought to herself.

She slowly turned around to see him standing there with a smile on his face. He approached her, removing his sunglasses. She could see his breathtaking eyes.

“How are you? Didn’t expect to see you here, I mean you work here but I didn’t expect you outside.” He asked her.

She looked down and answered. “I am very good thank you for asking Sir, how are you?”

“I’m doing fine thank you.” He replied with a heart warming smile. She wondered why he was so kind to her, so different from his siblings, especially Lucifer..

“Come on, let’s go inside.” Ebenezer spoke up. August felt very stupid for not asking him to come inside; however, she moved forward to go inside with Ebenezer following her behind. She opened the door wide to let him get inside. He thanked her softly.

“Is my brother home?” August flinched at his question.

She shook her head No. “He hasn’t come home yet.” Ebenezer nodded his head in response.

“Please make yourself comfortable, I’ll bring something for you to drink Sir.” She politely said.

“Ebenezer, you can call me Ebenezer, August I’ve told you that before too.” He told her with a polite smile on his face, he was so charming and polite that August couldn’t utter a word. She just nodded her head and went off.
