Slaved to a Devil [lesbian] novel Chapter 30

Lauren

“Miss Davids, everything is going as planned. Saxon industries are growing in stocks with the boost in the economy.”

“And Turner?”

“Their presence in the industry has fallen dramatically,” Mason replies. “With Saxon’s growth drawing popularity with the introduction of the broadened range of products, Turner’s company is radically falling behind. It’s predicted that Saxon will be able to be the primary company in the field in the next few months if they proceed in their present share growths.”

The door to my office slowly creaks open, drawing my attention from the phone. A naked Elise walks into the room, wrapped in the blanket from my bed. She shuffles towards me, her beautiful collarbones showing themselves from above the covering. I scoot out from behind my desk allowing her smaller frame to be seated on my lap.

“Excellent,” I say, happy with the progress that has been made in my absence. “Thank you Mason, I knew you could be trusted. One last thing, I need you to get in contact with my lawyer for a call later today.”

“Will do Miss.”

I hang up the phone, catching Elise’s curious eyes.

“Hello,” I say with uncharacteristic warmth in my voice as I wrapped both arms around her slim waist.

She turns around in my arms, straddling my thighs and continuing to give me her questioning gaze.

“Just business,” I state, answering her unasked question, but I can still see that look of interest and engrossment in the subject in her eyes.

I sigh, standing up from the chair and placing her on her feet.

“Let's get you dressed,” I say placing a kiss on the crown of her head and leading her out of my office, carefully avoiding the overlapping of the blankets sweeping the floors.

“You never told me what business you own.”

We continue down the hall, side by side with my hand gracing the small of her back through the fabric.

“I own multiple, but as of right now my focus is reestablishing a struggling company.”

“Mr Turner was the one that called you all those weeks ago, right?”

I was surprised she remembered but given that he attacked her later that night, it's not so surprising.

“Yeah,” I say, sighing. “He’s my competition at the moment, I’m trying to take his business down at the moment.”

She nods her head, walking into my bedroom while Stephanie drops what she’s doing and leaves the room for us silently. My maids have definitely been acting strange around us, probably because as thick as the walls appear, they don’t hide all the sounds. Or maybe they’re just not as accustomed to seeing either Elise or myself so happy.
