Chapter 14

I rush by the reception mutter a goodmorning to Chloe before the elavotor closes, I won't waste any more time for it to open again especially how I waited for a free parking space for 20 minutes,argh somethings can be so frustrating.I put my foot before it closes and it opens again letting me in,I let out a satisfied sigh happy I got it in time but my victory is all snatched away by my fucking boss.I see him tapping his left foot in frustration and checks his silver watch then looks up to see the motherfucker who is wasting his time.I immediately turn around not wanting to meet his eyes and press the button to my office.

I stand still like a statue feeling his burning gaze on me and my palms starts sweating from anticipitation,I wonder whats his thinking or doing? I feel the air around us starting to warmer and my heart pounding so hard,I want to look behind but I still don't want to see him.I feel myself being pushed to the elevator wall his body pressed to mine in a flash of a second,I look at him shocked wondering if he doesn't remember there are cameras in here.My breathing becomes ragged from how his faces is just inches away from mine and how his gaze is piercing straight to my soul,oh gosh is there no one who wants to use the elevator?

I try to move aside but he cages me with his hands making me to stay there,his lips comes crashing to mine and I swear my mind is shouting for me to stop while my body immediately responds by wrapping my hands around his neck pushing him closer.His hands slids to my leg moving it up as he grinds on me and I feel his hard erection rubbing against me.We hear the elevator being opened and he immediately parts away from me leaving me breathing like a stray dog,I see a young lady entering and she looks at us suspciously seeing us breathing heavily.

I try to hide my blush making it seem obvious we were doing something,I smoothen my wrinkled clothes and eye my boss seeing him acting casual while checking his watch,his a good actor while I am trying to comprehend to what just happened or was I just imagining my things.I hear the elevator come to a stop seeing its my floor and I get out faster as if my heels are on fire.I open my office door and immediately lean on the door catching my breathe,I close my eyes swiftly trying to get my mind to function and open them again to find someone sitting on my chair.

"Mum!" I gasp not believing she is in my office going through my stuff, "hey sweetheart,I have been waiting for you for a while" she says standing up and grabbing a photo of us together, "I like this one" she says setting it down and I make my way to her, "what are you doing here?" I ask her not expecting this wonderful surprise, "am here to surprise you and see how your doing at work.Aren't you happy to see me after a long time?" She says faking a sad expression and I roll my eyes, "its been only 4 months mum,no biggie plus we have been video calling" I tell her and she shrugs off her coat sitting again.

"Well thats so long for me and to make it worse you came back home and I wasn't there" she whines and I sit down, "mum you shouldn't be here,this is no visiting place" I scold her and she waves me off spinning around, "oh don't lecture me instead you should be asking how my business is going on and I will I tell you because your instisting" she requests herself and I roll my eyes,she knows that am not interested with all the pearlas she has, "okey the one in Australia is really becoming bigger,more clients ask for our services and its becoming more popular" she explains and I take a few files starting to go through them, "mum you know am not interested in your business" I point out and she glares at me daring me to continue and I know its better to shut up.

"You know this business is so important and your part of it,you being the next owner" she says sternly and I shake my head, "what about Zayn? Why can't he be the next heir?" I ask her and she stands up making her way to me, "darling Zayn is a man so he can't work with all the beauty,he will be the next owner of the hotels your grandfather is managing and that means you will be the one who takes over my business" she explains sweetly and when am about to deny what she has said she interupts, "look I haven't refused for you to work here because there is time before you take over my business and who said you can't be both a writer and a beautician? So I don't want any more arguments about your future because what have said is final" she says with an authoritive voice and I just sigh in defeat,you can never argue with her and be able to win.

"Okey then if thats settled let me continue to explain to you the next places that am going to renovate" she says happy that am quiet and she continue to tell me how the income is much better and how the clients are so happy with their services, I hate this world.After she's gone am left there frustrated knowing one day I will be the one going across the world, pearla after pearla checking how things go there as my brother works with my grandpa in Spain, it being his dream working with him.

I get out from my office wanting some fresh air and head to the cafeteria of this building finding Chloe taking some cookies, "hey girlie,atlast you will have sometime for me" she says handing me her milkshake and I thank her, "aren't you supposed to be at the reception?" I ask her taking a seat at one of the tables set here, "well I need some snacks and I was bored sitting there" she pouts taking a mouthful of cookies, "and for the clients they will have to find there way" she shrugs and I just chuckle. "Mmm I saw your mum,how she is a beauty" she compliments her and continues, "when I saw her walk my way I thought it was model coming to the wrong building with the fur coat she was wearing and her elegant dress and that gucci purse.Girl I was dumb struck by her beauty and I could smell the auroma around her" she continues and I just face palm myself knowing full well how my mother makes her entrance known by everyone.

"...but am sure I have seen her somewhere" I find her midway while she's trying to figure out where she saw her, "oh right I got it, Laura Mendes one of the best beauticians in the world" she says as if she has hit the jackpot, "why didn't you tell me she's your mum?" She asks finally giving me an oppurtunity to talk, "because its not important and you never asked" I state stealing some cookies from her, "right but if she's that rich why are you working here when you can just take over her business?" She asks confused and I sigh heavily,thats why I hate poeple knowing my background,they ask such questions. "Lets say am not ready for her world,I just want to work on my dreams" I try to explain to her knowing its the truth plus my mum brought us up like common poeple not pampering or showing us off to the fame world, she nods understanding what have said,one thing I like about her she doesn't like pushing things.

She continues to tell me how she's a big fun of my mum's work and when she gets any opportunity she goes to one of the pearla's my mum owns, I zone out from what she's bickering about and see his figure.His leaning at the counter sipping his coffee as his scrolling through his phone,his not even looking my way. "....and when she said she was your mum I practically....you aren't listening to me aren't you? What are you busy looking at that's so important than talking to me?" Chloe asks following my eyes and I avert my eyes quickely.

"Your drooling over our boss" she exclaims earning some gazes around us and am forced to shush her, "no am not, stop saying that so loudly" I tell her lowly and she shrugs, "I know you were drooling over him and am not blaming you his one heller hot of a guy" she gushes over him and I roll my eyes seeing an elegant young lady making her way over to him,her strides to him screams power and money and from what she's wearing you can say she's one rich girl and am sure I know her from the red carpets that have been happening here, "she's Mia Black,one of the powerful daughter's of Aiden Black" Chloe reads my mind and I stare at her in awe,she is well cordinated.

The poeple around here watch her make her way to our boss but he doesn't even try to glance over to her knowing full well the place is awfully dead silent waiting to see what she will do, "Quinn you never appeared for our date last night" she tries to say lowly but it was audible for me to hear what she said.My boss looks my way swiftly locking his eyes with mine before he tilts his head to look at her and whispers something in her ear before they walk out. "I can't imagine Mr.Linch stood her up" Chloe giggles and I force a chuckle wondering why he first looked at me before he talked to her. "Well I guess our hot bachelor has been taken" she says wiping her mouth from how the drink has left a mustache on her lips.

Mia Black the youngest daughter of Aiden Black who is one of the biggest tycoon in NY managing most of the casino's in this city and in other countries, that justifies why Quinn Linch can be involved with her.I mean most powerful people only get involved with their class and its very rare for them to be interested in common people saying they might be only interested with their money,typical rich niggars and I don't know why I thought he was different.

"Okey I better go,I have a lot of work to finish" I tell Chloe staightening my blouse and trouser,today I look more official with my hair set into a low bun wearing a white designed blouse and a black trouser with low heels,I like this look its more mature. "Okey..see ya later" Chloe muffles with the cookies she's struggling to swallow, "maybe you should get more milkshake" I tell chuckling a bit from her childish behavior, "you think I never thought of that.Its because my purse is all the way down there and am all the way up here" she says motioning to the floor downstairs and up here,I sigh checking my pockets for some dollars and hand it to her, "thank you, I love ya" she says giving me a big hug and goes to buy more milkshake.I go to my office still smelling the purfume of my mother,she can never leave me alone.I start digging to work feeling much better after the break.

The day goes by faster and am suppose to submit this file,urgh why does it have to be him.Isn't there supposed to be a lower rank surprior or something because his presence near me is like a death penalty to me.What did I do to deserve such a complicated life like this one because am dying slowly by slowly.I take the files knowing there is no way out of this and head straight to his office before I start over thinking.Before am able to knock the door its swings open revealing Marcos,I look at him shocked that he is even here,can my life be more complicated than now.

"Kater,its nice to see you again" he says not missing the strong accent with a huge smile plastered across his face, "um more surprised to see you here" I tell him sweetly trying to act casual after a tiresome day and holding tightly the files, "well its me who designs this company interior so am bound to be here once in a while but what are you doing here?" He asks and I want to respond rudely because he can clearly see the files written Linches publishing meaning am working here but I choose to answer nicely because his being charming and it works well if I keep stalling from entering this office, "I work here as an intern" I tell him and he nods checking me out and I feel like ripping his eyes out by the way his looking at me. "You look more beautiful with your formal look" he compliments me and I force a smile,what am I suppose to say? You look cute too definety not.

"Well are you saying I didn't look beautiful before?" I taunt him and he immediately denies, "no no I never meant like that..you always look beautiful even when your wasted...oh shit what am I saying" he mutters cursing himself and I giggle a bit. "Oh Marcos I was only pulling your leg a little" I tell him and I see him blush a little,okey maybe his a little cute and sweet. "Oh but am sorry still for offending you" he says rubbing the back of his neck and before am able to respond I hear someone clearing his throat.Oh right am supposed to see this douche bag and give him the files,I look over Marcos' shoulder and see an impatient look on his face.Well he doesn't look to be in a good mood, "um I guess thats my queue to go in" I tell him and he nods.

"Oh you never used that card" he reminds me and I chuckle a little, "well I haven't been in no need yet but I promise today I will text you" I tell him and he takes my hand kissing my knuckles,I will never get used to that, "then until I see you again, love" he says and I blush at his gesture,we hear a cough inside and I remove my hand from him.I make my way inside as he closes the door for me and I head to my bosses desk. "Um here are some of the files" I say putting them on his desk, "well it took you long enough,have a seat as I look at them" he says looking irritated and pissed off.Mmh its satisfying knowing its me who gave him that look because he always puts me in difficult situations like in the elevator.

He goes through them and its as if his examining word by word,sentences by sentence.His he trying to kill me by doing that because it took me the whole day by doing that.He finally finishes the first page in five minutes and even if its impressive how he reads fast he has fifty more to read in one file and their three more with more pages,his kidding me right now.He seems so focused while going through them but what was the use of giving them to me if thats what his doing,he turns the next page slowly and that just puts me to the edge.

"Okey what was the use of me going through them if you were going to do the exact same thing?" I ask him trying not seem so irratated because thats what am feeling right now, "mmh its not fun waiting for long is it?" He asks flipping to the next page and looking up seeming pleased from what he has gained with his mind game.Oh so this is how we are going to play so be it, "no its no problem please go ahead, its only like three hundred more pages left in those files and I can wait the whole night until you finish" I tell him putting my leg over the other and leaning my back behind ready to play this game of his. "Well am grateful for your patience,you are free to have some water if you feel your thirsty because its going to be a long night" he says gesturing to the glass of water and I sigh irritated.He will not last long, right? Well I hope so because am no girl who has patience.

I look at my watch seeing thirty minutes have passed,gosh he was serious.No he won't last longer,right? I look at him and see his seriously analysing my work,he won't last longer,soon he will just give up and let me go.I pour myself some water which he offered,why couldn't he offer the rim which is set at the coffee table.I could really use some strong drink by how his treating me.There is suppose to be some rule of holding your employee hostage by looking at their work forever.I sip the water tapping my fingers on the armrest impatiently and look at my watch,I can't believe his really serious about this.I sip again the water and watch him turn the eleventh paper in this rate he will never finish.

I put the glass on his desk with force hoping it won't break and he looks up seeing my impatient and irritated face, "are you really going through all those papers in this rate?" I ask him frustrated and he leans back in his chair satisfied by my outburst, "I thought you were willing to cop with my pace" he taunts and all I want is to rip off that head of his. "Okey am not that patient and I hope you have noticed because am out of here" I tell him standing up ready to leave, "Miss Mendes I haven't asked you to leave yet so you better just sit down and wait patiently like a good girl" he says and I sigh in defeat,I really want to leave this hell once and for all but the devil has his hounds ready to pounce on me.I turn around and fake a smile, "oh please Mr.Linch please let me go,I have classes tomorrow" I try to plead but he seems unfazed by acting,dang it and how I used all my acting skill for my kindergaten,I will just use the puppy eyes that will definetly work.

"Well next time think of not making me to wait or taking your time to enter my office and flirt with my parteners" he says rounding his desk and standing right infront of me, "but when did I do that?" I ask him innocently not wanting him to notice how his affecting, "stop acting fucking innocent" he growls grabbing my elbow and pushing me to him," leave me alone" I tell him trying to release my hand from him, "I don't think so because it was you who started playing games with me" he snarls his eyes turning dark and I manage to break free and start poking his chest, "I never started playing games it was you who started by kissing me in the elevator then acting as if nothing ever happened then try to keep me here for the whole..." am being cut off with his lips crashing on mine and he presses himself on me.

I try to fight him but he doesn't bulge,I stay like a statue not wanting to give in even if am craving to touch him and kiss him back. "Please kiss me,I need you" he murmers on my lips and I sigh giving into the kiss.
