CHAPTER 27- HIS TORSO
Emily
I waited for him at his office and could not even think about anything else aside from obvious rejection from the playboy of the town. The fact that I was not sure if he was aware if I was gone for a day or not.
Absolutely he did not care about me, he might be busy doing his own thing. But, the moment I looked at his office right now was the simplicity of it. I know from the start that he was the richest man in the town just like what my friend told me about him.
Then, I searched more about him and found out that he was also a crowd favorite not only for his good looks but also his family background, that was the reason why his office was clear and nearly empty of family photos.
I narrowed my eyes
When I saw a small piece of paper on the ground and read it, it was a business card and it might have been from one of his business partners.
A few minutes had passed and then he arrived and I knew his presence at the back and heard him say my name like a chant. It was pleasing to hear, his husky voice made my ears feel the satisfaction of it.
“How could he be sexy? Like even his voice was like from a mythology.”
I took a deep breath when I looked at him. The fact that it was not the first time for me to stare at his eyes and yet his edgy powerful appearance melted and he looked like a lost child.
The moment that he came to me and hugged tightly made me even wonder why he was doing this to me. Hugging and his questions and all, did he feel worried about me?
Now that I am in front of him and was trying to make a deal with him about the canceled collaboration. But as she expected, Anders did not agree to it. I tried my best to push him through but my reason was not enough for him to cancel the contract.
Then my phone rang and I heard the voice of my mother.
“Mom?”
“Emily, I am so proud of you! We heard about the deal and we are so proud of you!”
A smile appeared on my face after hearing good words from my mother.
“We heard it, darling so we will be home after a week to celebrate with you!”
My mother announced it like she was excited to see. Well I am glad that they recognized and were proud of me about it but the problem was the man in front of me. Definitely I want to work with the company but not for him. The way he looked at me was a sin that I could not even bear to look away.
It seemed like a casted spell was on my eyes whenever I looked at him. I put my phone in my pockets and raised my brow at him.
“Fine! Since I have no choice but to get out of the contract.”
“Good girl, Emily,” he sarcastically said and let his lips form an upward arch on it.
Then, Anders stood up and pinned his eyes on mine and kept moving toward my place.
“Uhm, Mr- I mean Anders, I want to know what work I will be working with, am I to be assigned here or other fields?” I curiously asked while my eyes were locked on his.
The fact that he kept getting near to me made my heart thump loudly and created more of a tingling sensation on my nerves.
When finally I find myself at the corner of his office and thankfully no one will see us as the blinds were on. I gasped as he leaned closer to me and his scent was lingering on my nose.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Gosh, Emily controls your sanity!
His rugged face and his torso wrapped in sinewy muscles are the main reasons why women cannot help themselves but to be with him for a night.
I don’t want to be like those women! I will show him that being professional was the key, and I am not his woman.
“You will never work here,” he said with his eyes seducing her.
His face was a couple of inches away and I can even smell the mint flavor from him. I gasped and swallowed the feeling that I was about to melt down with his stares.
Anders touched my chin and gently lifted it up, and without even saying a word, his lips locked mine.
A swiftly moment for Emily that made me close my eyes. My mind was soaked with the feeling that I was not supposed to feel at all. My heart was drumming loud and no matter what I do it never stops nor calm itself whenever I am with him.
“Ouch!” she mumbled in between their kisses.
“I told you before that you will work for me and not for this company, understood?”
Hypnotized by him as I nodded my head twice and let my emotion decide for me. My eyes were fluttering as I am now drunk by the sweet taste of his wine lips.
“But-”
Before I could even utter a single word his finger dipped on my lips and he said, “No more buts, you already signed the contract and no one could stop me from you, no one.”
My eyes widened as I was expecting him to kiss me once again instead he stepped back with his hands both on their pockets and winked at me. I quickly regained my posture and fixed myself.
“Wo-work for you?” I stuttered and gulped while staring at him. This sounds like I will be his warmer in the cold season or whatever season he wants me.
“I hate repeating myself, Emily, so from tonight I want you to grab some stuffs that you needed for yourself,”
“Wait- What?! Why do I need to pack my things?”
A devil’s smile appeared on his face and stepped closer to me. He looked straight into my eyes and said, “You will stay in my house until the contract expires.”
My eyes widened when I heard about those words.
“No way! I will never stay in your house, do you really think I am that kind of bitch that easily-”
This really gets on my nerves! Why does he always kiss me? Do I look like some kind of slut for him?!
“Just obey me or the collaboration will be canceled, you choose,” he teasingly said to me, and turned his back and opened the door while he gestured to me to go out of his office.
I stomped my feet in annoyance to him, I could not believe that he could do this to me. The fact that he never gave me an option. The only answer for him is yes, nothing else.
I hate him!
I hate the fact that he was holding all the cards while I am having my unfortunate cards for now. He is really a smart one to think about it this way, putting me in one corner wherein no option has been left but to agree upon him.
