Are you deaf?

I almost choked on my saliva after seeing the person, mind I say, who was clearly displeased of my presence. He was staring at me angrily. It made me rooted to my spot.

His furious glare made me have an urge to stay at the same spot and at the same time run the hell out of there. God!! This man made me uneasy every time I was near his radius.

I even missed the ding when the doors opened at my floor and closed. Averting my gaze to the doors I prayed to the heavens that he never presumes anything from that damned mouth of his and just disappear.

Thoughts of him barking at me with that scary face started haunting my little brain. I could feel him shooting missiles from his eyes through my head. Deep in my thoughts and scared to shit, I didn’t recognize that we reached the top floor. But instead of the person getting down on their destination, I felt somebody grab my hand and pull me out of the elevator.

What the hell? Why was he grabbing me? And oh my goodness his grip was firm and too hard on my soft palm. Oh Hello Mister!! In case you have forgotten, the wrist you are pulling so harshly belongs to a girl!. The inner me was going crazy at him even though my mouth was shut.

My body felt limp in that moment, but weirdly it responded to this man’s touch. Regardless, the voice in my head said otherwise. No!! You shouldn’t let him grab you out of nowhere Glo!! See, told ya, my mind is smarter than I can ever be.

Fuck it. Fuck him. I had to protest or he might pull my hand from the joint. This Giant, Self Centered, Egoistic, Son of a bitch didn’t even know where to stop when it came to women. Maybe his mommy didn’t teach him well.

I tried to snatch my hand out of his but it made him hold it even tighter. Ouuch, like that didn’t hurt. It slowly started to tingle from where his hand held mine and my neck slowly started to become warm. It made my legs feel like jelly and my stomach started to grow this weird hollowness in it.

I was literally hopping to make up to his pace. Even after pulling my hand out of his forcefully calling his name, he didn’t even spare a glance backwards. “Aiden please leave my hand.” No response. “Where the hell are you taking me?” Still there was no looking back. “Are you deaf?”

I heard him open up a door which led to a stair case. He looked back at me for a while with that murderous look in his Icy eyes and started to climb those stairs meanwhile pulling me with him by force.

That’s it I thought. This man handling must end right now or I'll kick his ass. I didn’t care if he was my Boss. He shouldn’t have acted like a child in the first place. What the heck was wrong with him? Why was he acting nuts all of a sudden?

We suddenly stopped in front of a door. He opened it and pushed me out of it. I almost stumbled in my steps but caught my balance. I glared at the man standing behind me, hands in his pockets.

“What the hell Aiden?” I angrily spat at him. I was confused. In morning he was giving me this look which practically said that his eyes might not be all cold, then he almost made me feel embarrassed in front of all board members, then he almost made me look like a fool in front of Brittany by not letting me in and lastly he pulled me all over from that god damned lift to this fucking terrace which I didn’t have any idea of!

By the way it was beautiful and was decorated with nice seating arrangements and a small garden at each corner of the space. There was a mini fountain. I guess these were made for small Formal Parties. I didn’t care about it though. Why was I here?

“You did that on purpose didn’t you?” I could hear venom in his voice. I almost gulped loudly. God he made me feel vulnerable at times. But instead of showing him that I straightened myself and faced him, “Care to explain what I did this time Sir?” I muttered with folded arms. Ouuch, it still hurt where he grabbed my hand.

His jaw ticked in irritation. Score!! “You were supposed to meet me before an hour ago.” It took me almost a minute to process about what he said. “I am sorry what?” I thought I heard him wrong. Did he just say that he wanted to see me? If yes then I am so screwed!!

His eyes zeroed on me and he looked at me in disbelief. “You enjoyed it didn’t you?” I couldn’t link where he was going, “Enjoyed what Mr. Knight?” I spat his name consciously.

He looked taken aback. The pool of black flexes danced in those chilling Icy Orbs. Right now I was determined to not fall for his tactics. He clearly wanted to accuse me for something I didn’t have idea of. But today I wouldn’t give him the chance to humiliate me even further. I won’t take it!

It was enough that he made a scene at the conference. It was enough when he asked for me himself and later made me look like an attention seeking child in front of his slutty, clown faced Secretary. And he even crossed his limits forcing me here without even letting me know what the matter was.

I was so done with him. As if reading my mind he came closer. His persona making my legs give up with fear, but I stood my ground. I had to take a step back when he came face to face with me. I could inhale his woodsy, musky cologne.

Without sparing any breathe he started to ramble, “Ms. Blossom, I don’t have time to waste here, but I know you love to do that. You didn’t even bother to show up when I called. I knew that you didn’t care about the organization since the first day I saw you. But I won’t tolerate this kind of attitude in my company.”

What the hell? I was about to protest myself when he beat me to it, “I don’t want any of your shitty excuses now. Those people in the conference came from Asia. Did you even understand how much it took me and Haley to convince them to not think otherwise? Of course how could you? It won’t bother you even if we lose this project here right?”

I stood there dead silent after hearing all of the accusations he made. How could he think such low of me? I was at loss of words. My mouth went dry and was shut till he took a step further ahead and held my shoulders, lightly shaking me. His touch made me feel like a fire ignited through my arm. But the fire almost felt like it was burning my arm. His touch suddenly started to feel wrong. I couldn’t move but stare into his Icy Gray eyes which turned a bit darker shade of Gray mesmerizing me every single time.

“Listen Shortcake,” His eyes captured my gaze, “I don’t know how you do and what you have to do to complete the task, but I want the designs for the next floors within three days. I can’t afford to delay the project any further because of your irresponsible nature.”

He stared at my face for a while longer and then his gaze turned to my lips. I started feeling uncomfortable under his touch. I stared at his face blankly and pushed his hands away from my shoulders. My mind was all over the place. I didn’t know what I would do if I stayed there a little longer.

Creating space between us I cleared my throat. The venom in his voice made it clear how much he hated me. He made it clear that he doesn’t want me in his company. The bitterness in his voice made my eyes water. I blinked several times to let them stay at the bay.

With a firm face I turned to him and shot him the sweetest smile I could muster on my face. “Yes Mr. Knight. I understood. The designs will be ready within a week’s time. You will see them in the next meeting. I wish you have a nice day.” I tried not to let my voice break while saying all that.

His expressions changed from angry to shocked one. His eyes shined with something, was that guilt? Admiration? Duh, Glo! Him? Admire? You? I rolled my eyes at my mind while it laughed at my face. With all the strength I had, I walked out on him in full speed without sparing any glance backwards. Serves him right!
