Play Dirty

As he was standing up slowly, he slid the ice cube from her ankle up the inside of her leg to her thigh, leaving a damp mark that made her skin tingle. Then he slid it on her groin for a few seconds, and right after that, he placed the ice cube in her glass.

He put his hand back between her legs and put his finger in her. He began to move it slowly inward and then outward.

She bit her lip hard, trying to stop the moan coming from her mouth. She couldn't let anyone in the room know what he was doing to her.

Damn, she started to hate this man even more.

A few hours earlier

Victoria opened the massive wooden door to the office and went inside. Because of her excitement, which was evident for miles, she did not even close it behind her.

The moment Walter saw her, he got up from his chair and walked over to her.

"Hello, Dad!"

"Oh, my sweet girl," he answered with joy in his eyes, and in the meantime, she threw herself into his arms. "Welcome back, Tori!"

"I am so happy that I am finally home!"

"And you are here right on time. There is something important I wanted to tell you."

"Yeah, I know. Well, I'm listening to you, Dad."

"This morning we signed the documents for the merger of our company with Globe Ind."

"What?"

These words struck Victoria like thunder from a clear sky. That was the last thing she expected to hear. Moreover, it was something she never imagined she could hear.

"What?" she repeated because what she had heard sounded unreal.

"I sold the company to Andrew Smith."

"You sold it? To Andrew?" Victoria's face took on an even more astonishing look, which, until a few seconds ago, she didn't think was possible. "After everything he did to you?"

Walter folded his arms, gesturing that he wasn't approving of her reaction. But Victoria continued. "And after I graduated from the most prestigious college, in order to be able to take over the company? Dad, I spent eight years studying and specializing in business relations to be worthy to take your place. And you are telling me you sold the company?! How could you do that?"

"That was the best decision for the future of the company," Walter started explaining in a serious tone. "But don't worry, it will keep its name. And you will be on the board of directors, managing it."

"You mean that Andrew Smith will be my boss? This can't be more fucked up!"

"Watch your mouth, Tori! And please, correct your mood, because tonight we will host a cocktail party to celebrate the merger. There will be important guests and investors. And you have to be kind to everyone. Especially to Andrew."

"This can't be true, no... This is unbelievable!" She shook her head in denial. "I'm out of here!"

She ran out of her father's office, slamming the door behind her.

Walter went back behind his desk and clutched his head in his hands. "Oh, Tori..." he sighed.

Victoria, meanwhile, returned to her apartment and immediately went into the bathroom to take a shower.

The apartment was not very large; it could even be called miniature compared to her parents' house, but it was her apartment. Yes, that was Victoria Summers; she had wanted to be independent since she was a child. She had left the family home in her final year of high school and lived in that apartment until she decided to drop out of the college where she was studying and transfer to a college outside the country to continue her education. And although her family owned the apartment, she worked while studying and paid rent from the beginning. She didn't take anything for granted. She did not accept anything as a gift. Not that she didn't like being rich, not that she didn't adore the luxury her family provided. She had always wanted to deserve everything she got.

Her mother had never agreed with this, but her father fully understood and supported her. He knew it was really important to her; he knew how ambitious she was; he knew that she wanted to achieve everything on her own; he knew because he really knew her. Inside. Because he had seen himself in her.Although he had secretly transferred all the money for this rent back to her fund.

"I can't believe it!" Victoria scolded as she was leaving the bathroom. "Bastard! I knew he had always wanted our company!" she continued, taking clothes out of her suitcase and tossing them on the bed. "And finally, he took it ... And my father wants me to work with him? To work for him?"

She stopped for a second after finally finding what she was looking for in the suitcase. "To be kind to him?"

On her face appeared a light smirk while she kept looking at the dress in her hands. She dropped her towel on the floor and put on the dress. Then she stood in front of the mirror, removed the rubber band that bound her hair, and it fell freely over her face and covered her shoulders. She looked herself up and down. "So be it! I'll show you some kindness, Andrew Smith!"

Victoria bent down, put on patent leather shoes with indecently high heels, looked in the mirror again, and then left the apartment. "You're not the only one who can play dirty!"
