Chapter 8- Changed Feelings

*Rylan POV*

"Why can't I be here", the man said.

No, I didn't mean that, it's just surprising that you are here. ", I said to him nervously.

"Oh, you know I like to give a surprise, especially huge ones", he said cheekily.

The line he said would be exciting for anyone else but for someone like me, it sends goosebumps.

It sounds stupid I know.

And you would think how someone like me could be hesitant in front of him.

I was about to say something but a knock interrupted me.

I hesitantly answered, "come in!"

*Ava Jones POV*

With light steps, I was coming towards his office. My heart was beating crazily as if it was running a marathon.

It was all for a just stupid thing and that's because it was difficult to face him when I get to know he was the one who helped me.

I secretly was cursing him too that was why he needed to be my boss out of all the million people.

I am going to his office cause my working hour is almost over so I am thinking to go back to my home and for that, I need to take his permission. It sucks to take his permission.

It's really difficult to not face him at all when he is the boss here.

As he said "come in", I entered the office. I was confused seeing a new face.

It was awkward inside and for a second I forgot why I was there.

If I am honest I was lost in my thoughts by seeing two handsome men in there.

How would someone concentrate on his work when they work under charming men? Thank God I started hating him at starting otherwise it would be difficult. And who is that second handsome?

I was once again interrupted by a fake cough of one and only boss Rylan Nichols.

Why does this man have to interrupt every special moment in my life?

"Who is she? , is she the new secretary that you were looking for? ", the man said looking at me.

Before I could answer, again this idiot Rylan stopped me by answering him that I am his new employee.

Man!! , I want to answer him too! What's wrong with him?

That handsome man after this just excused himself and left the office.

I didn't even notice that I was glaring at my boss.

"why are you looking at me like that? ", Rylan said as if he don't know.

I quickly compose myself and answer.

"Nothing, I was just here to get permission to take my leave now"

"oh, you may leave then! ", he said without looking at me.

I was about to leave but I stopped my steps cause I am curious about one thing.

My actions also made him look at me.

*Rylan pov*

I looked at her when she stopped moving.

I don't know why but her next words cause me to feel weird.

"Who was that handsome man? ", Ava said excitedly.

Why is she happy? Is she starting to like him? He isn't even more good-looking than me and he isn't a perfect guy for her.

There were so many thoughts running through my head and got interrupted when she spoke again.

"ummm... So who is he? ", she said awkwardly.

I looked at her seriously to not show the pinch of hurt and jealousy I was feeling at that time.

She was looking for the answer so I answered.

"I guess that is none of your business", I spoke while glaring at her.

I don't know why but I am pissed at her.

She furrowed at my answer and then just left the office.

*Ava Jones POV*

What the hell is wrong with him? He is a professional mood fucker. I pouted and made my way toward my house.

When I was at home. I looked at that umbrella which made me feel weird.

"I should return it tomorrow", I said while looking at it.

He is a nice man. Maybe he is just strict at the office which made him reach the success he is now.

I trailed my fingers at the initials "RN" which were on the handle of the umbrella.

Now I don't care about his reaction cause I just want to thank him whole hearty.
