Chapter 6

"Thank you so much sir. I really appreciate". Fira said as she made to open the car door. It was locked.

She turned around mortified, to look at her boss. After the whole crying session, Mr Quinn insisted on dropping her off himself. She had argued that she could find her way back to the office but he refused. She started taking note of his character.

1. Mr Quinn never takes no for an answer.

"Mr. Quinn please I need to go". Her voice came out weak and pleading.

She was behind time on her schedule. She had so much work to do and delaying wouldn't help it. She didn't want to spend extra hours at the office. She had promised Miguel she would be home in time to watch his favorite show with him.

"Mr Quinn". She stared at the man who only looked at her with a twinkle of adoration and amazement in his eyes.

"Mr Quinn please I really need to go inside". She looked through the car window. Her co-workers were watching from every available place.

The CEO was here of course. It wasn't every day that they were blessed with his presence. She hadn't seen him since she started working in the company. She was close once, very close to seeing him but something just came up. Not that she was excited about seeing him. She wasn't even excited about seeing any man. Since her engagement night and her rejection, she felt a turn-off for men. Yet here she was, in the CEO's car, a spark of excitement in her tummy. She was gonna quench that spark before it generated a fire.

"I know you want to go Fira. But I have a proposal for you". His voice was teasing. Really teasing.

"What could that be sir?" Her lips quivered.

She wanted away from him. His words were affecting her in ways that weren't healthy.

"Would you Miss Blackstone like to go on a dinner date with me?" Skyler asked.

He watched for her reaction. Her heartbeat had increased and she was panting softly.

"Mr Quinn". Her lips were shaking.

Oh! Those plump lips. He wanted so much to suck on them and leave them as red as a tomato. He could already imagine those lips, sucking his hard member. He trailed his eyes down to her breasts. He could still remember the feel and taste of them even after 4 years. Her chest was heaving up and down.

"Mr. Quinn...I... can't possibly go on a date.... with you". She stumbled on her words. The way his eyes scrutinized her body, she felt a fire starting deep in her soul.

"Why ever not?". Skyler watched her play with her fingers.

Oh! Those hands. He couldn't wait to pin it above her head and fuck her senseless.

"Because..... because..." Fira didn't know what to say.

"Because what?" He cocked his head to the side.

"Because it isn't right". She gulped.

Fira had never felt this manner of nervousness before. What happened to her boldness?

"What isn't right?" His lips were quirked up in a seductive smirk.

He knew what he was doing. He knew he was affecting her.

"You...and...I". She stammered. When did she become a stammerer? "It's not allowed". She gulped.

"Who disallowed it? I'm the CEO remember? I choose who I want to go on a date with and no one can stop me".

Her heart rate increased tenfold.

No one can stop him.

That means...

"With that being said, you don't have a choice Miss Blackstone. Ready yourself by 7 pm tomorrow. I'll be coming to pick you".

Fira opened her mouth and closed it several times. She heard the lock click and that brought back her senses and her voice.

"But sir you don't know where I live".

"Oh worry not about it. I have my ways".

With that, he leaned in and placed a kiss on her cheek.

Fira's face exploded with blood. The CEO of Quinn's Enterprise fucking pecked her.

"Sir....". Her voice betrayed her.

Her side of the door opened and she saw the driver. When did he step out of the car? When did Mr Quinn even ask him to open the door?

It clicked in her mind. Mind-link!

"You may go now". She stepped one leg gingerly out of the car.

Another leg. She heard lots of gasps.

Who wouldn't gasp? The quiet and reticent Fira Blackstone was dropped by the CEO himself.

The driver closed the door and went back to his side of the car.

"And Miss Blackstone". Startled, she spun on her heels.

"Sir". Her voice came out as a squeak.

She peaked her head through the car window.

"Be rest assured that it'll be a long night". He winked and the car sped off.

Horrified, she stayed rooted to her spot. All the blood that had rushed up her face earlier when he pecked her, had all been drained.

What did he mean by it'll be a long night? And what was with that wink? It further heightened his devilish handsomeness.

Hell! Did she just admit the CEO was handsome?

Suddenly, her blood boiled with anger at the realization of what his last sentence meant. What did he take her for? Is it because she had spilled the details of her engagement night that he felt he could just randomly get in bed with her? Did he plan to get her drunk during dinner and then bed her afterward?

She walked slowly into the company. All eyes were on her.

"Unbelievable!"

"Did the CEO just drop her off?"

"She's not the slutty type I know it!"

"She could be a wolf in sheep's clothing, you never can tell with people".

"She's lucky to have seen the CEO. Much luckier to have been in his car".

"What if she gets a chance to bed him? I heard he's single".

"She never even talks to anyone. Like we all are nothing. If she becomes the CEO's mistress, she won't even let us walk the same ground she does".

Fira tried her best to ignore the whisperings and gossip.

"She doesn't even deserve it".

That, she responded to.

"You might get a chance though, if you stop gossiping. I don't think he's so far off". She walked away, leaving the brunette girl that had spoken, stunned and angry.

"Welcome back Fira". It was Betty, with so much excitement in her eyes.

"Please don't welcome me. It's all your fault". She slumped on the chair in Betty's office.

"What was my fault?" Betty was looking all innocent.

"You sent me there when you should have just gone yourself". Her elbow was on the hand of the chair, her palms supporting her forehead.

"I bet it wasn't that bad". Betty shrugged, turning in her executive chair.

"It wasn't that bad? It was terrible Betty!" Fira screeched.

"Did he bundle you and keep you against your wish?"

"Ugh!" Fira face palmed herself.

"Firstly, I bumped into Alan and Dina".

Betty gasped. Fira had told her all about her past. Her rejection and ruined engagement.

"Yes, I did. After giving the files to Mr. Quinn, I was hurrying out when I bumped into Dina and we both fell. I didn't even know it was her cause I wasn't even observant of where I was going. In shame, I had bowed my head and apologized, not daring to meet her eyes".

"You apologized to that scumbag?"

"Yes, I did. I didn't even know it was her. But trust the bitch to be bitchy. She insulted me even before she knew I was the one. When we both met each other's eyes, all hell broke loose. Dina went ahead to remind me of my past. Slandering me in front of Mr Quinn".

Betty folded her hands into fists repeatedly.

"That witch! What did Alan say?"

Fira shrugged.

"Nothing. At first he looked shocked to see me. Then excitement and happiness".

"You don't mean it! But he rejected you. Why the excitement and happiness?"

"That's not even the shocking part".

"Hit me!"

"I wish I could because you're the reason today happened. But you're still my boss and to look after my son, I need my job". They both chuckled.

"So what's the shocking part?"

"They're about three. Firstly, Alan and Dina are together". Betty's jaw dropped.

"Together...as in married?"

"Something like that".

"I knew it!" Betty shot out of her chair. "Right from when you told me about this, I had a hunch that that sister of yours was behind it. I mean, she gave you the last thing you digested. And she even got a matching necklace with the one you wanted to wear for your engagement. Apparently, she wanted to steal your day". Betty was pacing up and down.

"I've forced myself not to believe that. But now, I don't have another choice but to believe she was the one that set me up. Well, after she rained all manner of insults on me, Mr Quinn called the security on them. He had even referred to me as his woman in front of them". Betty gasped and Fira blushed.

"Yes. And after Dina and Alan left, he carried me back into the room and we had a brief talk. I cried through most of it though. Then I explained what had happened. Afterward, he dropped me off and told me to prepare to go on a date with him tomorrow night".

Betty had surprise written all over her face. She knew something would definitely happen. She knew the CEO had a thing for Fira. After all, he had demanded for her today by himself.
