Chapter Thirty Four: A treat

She was almost by the back door which lead to her little chamber before she bumped into Dennis Wayne.

He was in a full gym outfit, he must be coming from the gym in the house.

She bumped into him and almost tripped, but he caught her.

He held her in a way that their body joined, she could feel his steady heart beat, and she was sure that he felt her unsteady ones.

This particular position with this man has been something that frequently occurred but recently had been the longest she had gone without finding herself in this man's arm one way or the other.

His hands were still on her waist and very relaxed like didn't plan to let go of her any time soon.

He was sweaty but was still very appealing, she hated to admit. He still smelled nice, even nicer than she remembered. 

She was mad at him for causing her to go through the pain of initially losing her place at VENUS over something that still seemed complicated to her to this day.

Their gaze locked and for a split second she lost consciousness again, but this time, she was fully awake but totally under his charm.

She noticed his gaze move to her lips, and hers to his as it seemed they were subconsciously reaching an agreement. Their gaze then returned to each other and almost at that very moment, she regained her will power again. But she didn't want to rebel against him because he had only tried stopping her from tripping.

'Okay, savior, you gotta let me go now,' her inner voice said before she had tried adjusting her body to get away from his grip.

"You look pale," he said. 

Joleen was totally taken by surprise by his observation. Yes, she did look pale, and yes, she knew she looked pale, but she did not expect him to notice nor care.

"You should look after your self more," He proceeded to add.

Oh, how dare him! How dare he think she wouldn't prefer to look healthier if she could?

He just had a thing with telling people what to do and she was outraged and frustrated about the fact that he was her boss,
