Echoes of Love
Upon entering Ellie’s house, Edward had met her in the kitchen, cooking. Her back was turned on him and watching her as she cooked, he couldn’t help but to be reminded of his mother, Catherine. As a child, Edward was a picky eater, and he wouldn’t allow anyone cook for him apart from his mother. Ellie moved the same way his mother used to move back then whenever she was cooking, and Ellie was focused just the way his mother used to be focused whenever she was making a meal.
Setting his eyes on Ellie and watching her from behind made him felt relieved of the sorrow that had filled his heart upon the discovery that his mother’s death was not an accident. There was a peace he always felt whenever he was with Ellie.
‘What are you cooking, Beauty?’, Edward asked, hugging Ellie from behind.
‘When did you come in? Did you sneak up on me?’, Ellie, who was surprised by Edward sudden presence asked.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
‘I came in a few minutes ago. How was your day?’, Edward asked, wrapping his arms around Ellie.
‘It was fine. Slept all day because I must be at the club tonight, Ellie responded, feeling Edward’s breath on her neck.
‘Do you mind working for me at my office? You can be my Personal Assistant, you know ….’, Edward said with his words hanging in the air, not sure of Ellie’s response.
‘What will happen to your current Personal Assistant?’, Ellie asked, turning to face him.
‘I can just move her to another department. I think you will do the job better’, Edward responded smiling.
‘Are you saying she is not doing the job well? Is it about doing the job well or about seeing my face every day?’, Ellie who knew Edward’s motive asked him teasingly.
‘Let’s say that’s the reason. And I do not want you entertaining any other man except from me’, Edward admitted, with jealousy in his voice.
‘So, when do I start, Boss?’, Ellie asked with a smile on her face.
‘Is that a yes?’, Edward asked, surprised.
‘I will just give it a trial not that I really want to’, Ellie responded, trying to pretend she wasn’t happy bur deep down in her, she was glad as it fitted her plans perfectly.
‘You can start immediately, Miss Ellie. We have some files to review overnight’, Edward jokingly said.
‘Where are the files? Are they in the car?’, Ellie asked confused, looking around to see whether the files were lying somewhere.
‘No, they are in the other room. In the other room, Edward responded naughtily, winking at Ellie.
Taking the initiative, Ellie turned off the gas and in no time, their lips met, making their way into the room.
The next morning as discussed; Ellie started her duty as Edward’s Personal Assistant. That morning, Ellie had put on a black gown which wasn’t revealing but still highlighted her beauty. Her hair was curled in waves. She complimented her dress with a white bag and heels. She looked so stunning that Edward couldn’t take his eyes off her as she walked up to meet him in his car.
‘Sorry I delayed you. I just needed some time to dress perfectly in order to fit my job role. You know it’s my first time working in a corporate environment. I need to dress up to expectation’, Ellie said, feeling anxious.
‘You need to calm your nerves. You look stunning. I don’t think I will be able to concentrate at work today with you by my side. With me by your side, you will be okay. Believe me, you will perform the duty more than you have ever thought’, Edward said, trying to assure anxious Ellie.
On getting to the office, Ellie was introduced to the rest of the staff by Edward as his new Personal Assistant. Edward asked for maximum support to be given to her. Everybody seemed to like Ellie as they all complimented her beauty except for Ella, Edward’s former Personal Assistant who didn’t seem satisfy with the decision Edward had taken.
After the close of work that day, Edward had called Ellie to his office, to ask her about her day.
‘How was your first day?’, Edward asked Ellie who was sitting on his lap with him playing with her curly hair.
‘It was actually nice all thanks to my wonderful colleagues. They made work easy for me. Ella also helped a bunch by putting me through the work. She seems to be a nice lady’, Ellie said with a beautiful smile on her face, which showed she was happy with her new job.
‘Guess the anxious lady is now being confident ‘, Edward said mockingly.
‘Thank you’, Ellie said, looking into Edward’s eyes with her eyes filled with gratitude.
‘What for?’, Edward asked confused.
‘For making my life filled with the love I have always wanted’, Ellie responded with a smile on her face.
‘You are welcome. But if you are that grateful, aren’t you suppose to reward me with something special?’, Edward asked, with his eyes ravishing over Ellie’s body.
‘With pleasure’, Ellie responded and in no time their lips met, kissing each other passionately. As Edward licked her neck which made her make a sound of pleasure, Ellie couldn’t help but to smile with satisfaction on her face. She was happy with the pain and anger in Sophia’s eyes. As she stood by the door watching as they both made love, Ellie made eyes contact with her. Ellie smiled at her, a smile which was that of mockery.
