CHAPTER 11

LILY'S  POV :-

Evan slowly lowered his face a little more, bringing our lips more closer to each other. And my heart started beating more wildly than before. I was sure that sooner or later, it might pop out of my ribcage. This man is going to be the death of me. Unknowingly I found myself leaning closer to the devil, with our lips almost touching each other. One move and we will be kissing each other. I closed my eyes and patiently waited for that kiss to happen but before our lips could taste each other, we both were taken aback by the loud ringing of my phone. I opened my eyes to find an irritated and frustrated look on the devil's face.

Shit! I will throw this phone in the garbage some day! Why does it had to destroy our perfect moment? We were so close of kissing each other and this phone ruined everything. Stupid phone!

Against my will, I freed myself from the devil's hold and after standing up on my feet, went to take my handbag which had my phone in it. I started searching for the phone in my handbag and after I successfully spotted it, I took it out and looked at the caller id, only to find myself smiling widely at the name of the person being displayed on the mobile screen.

Guess who it was? It was none other than my lovely best friend Florence.

"Umm. Excuse me. I have to take this call, sir. So goodbye and see you tomorrow," I told Evan and without waiting for his answer, immediately left his cabin. After closing his cabin door behind me, I picked up my best friend's call, while walking towards the public elevator at the same time,

"What the hell took you so long to answer my call, Ly?" A sharp pitched voice boomed from the phone in my ear. Oh, sorry forgot to inform you that there is no other person in the world who can be more dramatic than my best friend. Yes, Florence is the most dramatic person I have ever met in my entire life.

"Calm down, Flo. I was at work," I replied.

"Work? Oh shit! It means you got that job Ly?" Florence asked me in her same high pitched voice.

"Yes. Yes. Yes. I got that job Flo. Now I can give my Belle a better life which she deserves." I told Florence, when the elevator decided to reach my floor. I entered the public elevator and pressed the ground floor button, but before the elevator doors could close completely, from the corner of my eyes, I found Evan staring at me. But before I can think of something, the elevator doors closed and the elevator started riding downwards.

"Are you there on the line, Ly?" Florence's voice brought me back to reality.

"Umm yes. So where were we?" I asked her.

"Correct it baby. You should say where was I? Because you definitely were busy day dreaming about something or should I say.... Wait! Did you already find someone in that new office of yours? Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! My little Ly finally found someone. So how's he, babe? Hot? Sexy? Or Muscular?" The always so dramatic Florence asked me.

Why does this girl has to be so dramatic all the time? I shook my head at the childish nature of my best friend.

"Calm down Flo. No. I haven't found anyone in this new office of mine. And I am here to work. Not to flirt Flo," I told Florence.

'Oh really? So what were you doing just a few minutes ago Miss Lily Jones? Weren't you about to kiss your new boss, Lily?' My inner demon mocked at me but I remained silent as I knew that it was right. I was enjoying being in my new boss's arms and we were about to kiss each other.

"You and your so called work ethics Ly. Well, forget it, babe. Let's talk about tonight," Florence excitedly told me.

"What about tonight Flo?" I asked her, totally confused at what was going in her mind.

"Miss Lily Jones. Where the hell were you when I informed you that we are going to a club tonight?" Florence shouted at me.

Shit! I might have skipped this part when I was busy staring at the handsome devil from the elevator. This man will definitely make me mad some day.

But wait! Did she just say that we are going to a club tonight?

'Yes. She did, Lily,' My inner demon replied.

"Umm. Sorry Flo. But we can't go to the club tonight. As you know I have been away from Belle the entire day. So she will need me the entire time in the evening." I told Florence.

"Oh come on Ly. You have finally got a satisfactory job and it's time for the celebration. I know that Belle needs you, so we can go to the club late at night, after Belle is asleep. Anna can take care of her while she is asleep, Ly. Isn't that perfect?" Florence told me.

"Ummm...," I started speaking but Florence cut me in between,

"Please. Please. Please. Pretty please, Lily. Please say yes. It has been almost a month now since we last went clubbing, babe," Florence started pleading me in her low puppy voice, which she knows I can't deny. So finally I agreed with her wild wish,

"Fine. We will go to the club tonight," I told Florence.

"Yeahhhh. Thank you Ly. You are the best. I will pick you up from your house at sharp 8 in the evening and then we will go to the club together in my car. Love you, babe. Bye," Florence shouted excitedly and I couldn't help but laugh at her over-excited nature.

"Bye Flo. See you in the evening," I told her and with that she cut the call.
