Alicia kept contemplating if it was the right thing to do. Williams could read her worried face, and how she has been continously digging and stirring her food without eating them.
"Are you planning on starving yourself or you are going to speak out whatever thing is bothering you?" Williams enchanting voice was heard, disrupting the tranquil moment.
His voice didn't help in calming her tensed body instead, making her more nervous and not knowing what to do. Only Alicia knew how much courage it took her to produce every single words from her mouth, she was afraid of his refusal, despite her trying to make her mind prepared.
"Uhmmmn....I...(cough...cough)I was just thinking If I could help the company in the new fashion trend. I will like to recommend myself as a fashion designer to fill in the empty space. Trust me I will put in my....."
"No" Williams said firmly cutting her off.
"Urhhhh????!!!"
"I said no you can't join"
"But you haven't even seen any of my designes yet. Don't be so quick in making decisions, at least take a look at it" she said trying to convince him. She couldn't understand why he wouldn't let her join, he hasn't even seen any of her sketches. She started doubting her own skills if they really that bad.
"No..." Williams hates repeating himself, he already repeated the same words three times now, making him really irritated.
"You know what?!!!!...I'm done eating" she said stomping her feet angrily to the bedroom, really pissed off.
He already agreed on making her his P.A, and now she wants to be a fashion designer. Was she really demanding too much?.
Williams kept thinking on what wrong he did again, focusing his gaze on Alicia unfinished meal, he couldn't understand why she was angry. But he didn't do anything wrong, he just wanted her to remain as his personal assistant. He has gotten addicted to her presence, seeing her cute, happy, angry face everyday, teasing her in every way he gets the opportunity. He couldn't let go of her joining the fashion team knowing she wouldn't be his personal assistant for a month, he won't get all of these chances anymore, he just wanted her standing beside and working together with him.
His reasoning sounds so foolish and selfish but all he cares is having her around him. Williams felt really helpless and confused. He wanted her to be happy and he also wants her by his side, why couldn't she just understand him?, why is it so hard to understand women?. He has never for once been interested in females aside having them satisfy his sexual desire. Could it be because he always thought of them as an empty trash he could use and just dump anyhow?, he kept asking himself different question.
All he knew was that her happiness truly matters.
Mr Richard who have been standing by the corner of the diinning room shook his head in disappointment. The tycoon master was really clueless when it comes to this woman.
Williams proud self didn't even know on how to calm her from being angry, she didn't even eat anything.
"Uhmmmn....Alicia, are you planing on starving yourself to bed this night?" His voice sounded soft, while he kept knocking on Alicia's door. She knew nothing good comes out whenever she is angry, she wanted to ignore him till she calms down, but hearing his enchanting voice, she knew he must be worried. She couldn't help but giggle imaging his worried face while hiding her head in between her pillows afraid Williams might hear her. She just let him knock for some time more. "Thats what you get for hurting me" she smiled cunningly.
"Uhmmmn....are you asleep already?"
"Alicia?.." his cold voice could be heard again.
Alicia knew if she doesn't come out anytime soon, he wouldn't stop knocking and disturbing her. She walked to the door, carefully opening it while she faked a yawn.
"Why are you disturbing me by this time of the night?" Alicia said pretending to waking.
She left him few minutes ago and now she is talking about the time of the night.
"You can drop the pretense, I know you are not sleeping. You can be angry at me but you cannot go to bed without eating, I don't like people wasting my food"
Alicia couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, Williams barely eats much food since he has a weak stomach, which resulted to him wasting most of the food and now he is talking about food wastage. He could have just told her to eat instead of complaining.
"Yes I am still angry at you and I'm not hungry" she said trying to sound angry.
Williams didn't like her cold treatment, but for some weird reason he felt really hurt seeing her treating him this way. He slowly walked up to her, gently pulling her for a hug, while he placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
Instantly Alicia felt electro shocked within her body, feeling his hands on her tiny waist, inhaling his sweet masculine smell and his soft lips which landed straight on her forehead. She couldn't even stand being angry with him anymore.
"I remember my father always doing this to my mom whenever she is angry at him" he said softly, and the traces of sadness in his voice couldn't be ignored, while he continued patting her soft shiny hair. Alicia felt numb not knowing what to do. She just wanted to enjoy this moment even if it was for a short time. They both stayed together until she finally felt calm.
"You can join the fashion designing team and you must also work hard together" he said softly beneath her earlobe.
"Are you really serious?!!!!" her bright blue eyes sparked brightly in disbelieve, seeing Williams nodding his head positively, she subconsciously huged his neck tightly in happiness "thank you for giving me a chance". He patted her head seeing her cute behavior, acting like a child that has just been given a lollipop, making him chuckle. He couldn't even remember when last he smiled this sincerely, her happiness was truly his happiness.
"(Cough... cough... cough) can we eat now?"
