Chapter 14- Her Jealousy

" You're joking Sir," I said as I got up from the bed needing space away from him so I could think.

" Do I look like a man who jokes?" He asked me as he watched me.

" Why would you want me to be your girlfriend? What would people say? They'd think I seduced you," I said as I ran my hand through my hair in confusion.

" Are you really worried about what people would say or you're not over your ex?" He asked me and I slowly turned to him, I didn't like that question one bit.

" Why would you think that? You're aware of how he treated me," I said walking to where he stood.

" I just don't think we should be together, whatever relationship we're going to have is going to cause a scandal and it wouldn't be good for your company,"

" I only want you," He said

" You're not thinking straight, there's no reason why we should even think about this,"

" You should count yourself lucky you're on your period or else I'd fuck you hard until you agree there's more than enough reason we should be together," I swallowed whatever I wanted to say to him.

This wasn't making sense, I was trying to talk some sense into this man and here he was making me wet.

" Come here," He said, opening his arms but I refused.

" I don't want to," I said with a pout folding my arms, this was too dangerous, I didn't want this, but the only solution right now was to quit this job and I didn't want to, the pay was good and it's hard to find a job like that these days.

We left his penthouse and he drove us out of the place heading for my house, we basically spent the entire day with my boss babying me.

He packed the car just in front of my house for me to step out but just as my hand touched the door he held my hand and drew me to him, his lips landing on mine without warning.

He kissed me so passionately and as much as I tried to not kiss him back I found myself kissing him.

When he drew back he looked into my eyes like he wanted to steal me away forever.

" You're so fucking beautiful," He whispered his lips just inches from mine.

" I have to go,"

" Okay, dream about me," He said as I opened the door and luckily he didn't stop me this time. I waved him bye as I watched him drive away.

I opened my house door and got in, the television was on, an indication that Bella was home.

" Bella, Bella," I called but didn't get a response.

I looked to the kitchen but she wasn't there, my heart instantly became filled with worry that Derick might have come back, the more reason we needed to get a new place as quickly as possible.

But to my surprise when I opened the door to her room I saw my best friend sitting on a yoga mat, her hands folded like a Hindi monk. She looked so serious and without meaning to I burst into laughter.

She quickly turned to me, glaring at me.

" Didn't you see I was connecting my spirit to become one with nature, I was almost there now you've ruined everything,"

" I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just I think it would have been even better if you had your hair shaved," I said still laughing.

" Whatever, by the way…" She suddenly said and I knew she would soon start drilling me for answers.

" I'm tired, I had my period today, the cramps were so painful,"

" In the office?"

" No in my boss's pent.." My hand went to my mouth covering it, I didn't want to tell her that because she'd want every tiny detail and I was too tired for that.

" Spill, I swear if you miss anything I'll know," And she wasn't lying, I wondered how she does it, maybe it's a best friend thing.

" Gosh, there's so much to talk about,"

" It's a good thing we have time,"

She didn't let me sleep, she even camped in my room, refusing to go to hers.

" Good morning Sir," I greeted him as soon as I saw him walking into the office.

He stopped, looked at me with a smirk then winked before walking away.

What the hell is wrong with this man? He wants to put me in trouble.

I had to look around to make sure there wasn't anyone here and thankfully there wasn't.

I knocked on his door and I heard his voice telling me to come in.

" Sir your schedule for the day," I said as he looked up at me expectantly.

" You have a meeting with the department heads to discuss ongoing projects and challenges by 10:00 am, then you have a lunch meeting with Mr. Ford by noon, and you have an online meeting with Mr. Tom to discuss the progress of establishing our branch in Switzerland by 3:00 pm," He just watched me as I kept speaking, I knew his eyes were on my lips even without looking.

" Then finally you need to review the financial report and that would be all," I said.

" Thank you, Anna,"

" Okay Sir," I turned away from him and started walking to the door but he stopped me, making me turn.

" One more thing," He said.

" What is it, Sir?" I asked him.

" I have a dinner with a woman,"

" Oh," I simply said, I tried as much as I could to make sure my facial expression didn't give anything away. The way my stupid heart felt when he said he was taking a woman to dinner was annoying, he's not mine.

" Yeah, I need you to find somewhere secluded, this woman doesn't like a lot of people, she feels very uncomfortable with the crowd," Oh, he knows her very well.

" Okay sir," I said and turned to leave but he stopped me again.

" Make sure it's a very nice place,"

" As you wish Sir,"
