Chapter 15- His Woman

I thought just yesterday he was asking me to be his girlfriend and this morning he's asking me to find him a reservation because he was taking a woman out, how insulting. But I couldn't question him, instead, I looked for a good spot that fit the description he gave then I booked the place.

I got busy with work ignoring how my heart was feeling, I didn't want to be his girlfriend right? There was no need to get upset.

I followed him through all the meetings he had today, both within and outside the company. Although I was a little distracted, I tried to take note of important things I needed to remind him about, I was here as his secretary, not his girlfriend, I wasn't even his girlfriend.

He finished his meeting with Mr. Tom from Switzerland before he started reviewing the financial report that needed his attention.

When he was done with work he called me to ask if I'd made the reservation and I said yes.

I began packing my bags as I got ready to go home, I was done with my work for the day, if he was going out now it meant I was free to leave.

Just as I finished packing he came out of his office and I stood up.

" Let's go," He said and I just looked at him wondering if he was on the phone or if he was talking to me.

When I didn't move he turned to me with a raised brow and I pointed a finger at myself.

" Sir you have a…" I didn't get to finish what I was about to say he stopped me.

" You're coming with me, she has been excited to meet you, I'd like to introduce you to my woman," He said.

" Oh," That was the only word I could form.

" I'll just grab my things and we can go," I said as I pretended like I was still packing my things when I was trying to hide my face so I wouldn't show him what I was feeling.

" I'm done let's go," We both walked to the elevator as we waited to reach the ground floor, the elevator ride was so quiet none of us said a word. I felt stupid, he was taking me to see his woman when I thought he wanted me to be his woman.

He was just playing with me all along.

We got to the ground floor and we both walked to the exit with me walking quietly beside him.

We got outside the company and surprisingly he opened the car door for me, we were in front of the company, what was he doing?

The last thing I wanted was for people in the company to start getting any ideas.

I thanked him as I entered the car, he turned over to the driver's side and got into the car then he drove off heading to the location where I had picked for his date with his woman.

Maybe she was very pretty, even prettier than me, and from a wealthy family.

We got to the restaurant I picked and he parked the car and gave the car key to the valet, I didn't wait for him to come open the door for me because for all I knew his woman might just be standing somewhere watching us and she wouldn't like it if her man was opening a car door for me like I was his woman.

I didn't want to get out of the car but my boss insisted that his woman wanted to see me.

I quietly followed him into the restaurant then we were led to the special spot I made reservations for. It was secluded from every other person, it was like a special dining room but just for two people.

I opened the door and saw that the table was set but there was no one there yet. Maybe she was running late, rich girls like to take their time with their makeup.

I was standing with my arms around me when my boss suddenly took my hand leading me to the table.

" What are you doing sir," I asked him.

" You can't keep standing, let's sit," He said.

" No, no Sir, I don't want your woman to come and see us like this, she'd get the wrong idea." His response was to chuckle.

Did I say something funny?

" Come, I'll show you my woman," He said as he stood up taking my hand and my heart skipped. He was actually going to show me his woman.

We walked and stopped in front of a mirror I didn't notice was there earlier and my brow scrunched in confusion. Was this some type of door and maybe she was inside?

My boss placed his hands on my shoulders standing behind me and looked into my eyes through the mirror.

" This is my woman," He said and I followed his eyes and my eyes met mine in the mirror.

" This beautiful woman you see, is my woman, she has been wanting to meet you," I was lost for words I didn't know what to say, he was making me get angry and jealous when the woman he wanted to introduce me to was myself.

This man was crazy.

" What do you think about her? Isn't she so beautiful?" He whispered into my ears and I shivered.

" Cole, I said I can't be your…," He turned me around, my back gently meeting the mirror.

" You're not permitted to ever say that, you're now my woman and nothing is going to change that, not even you," He said sounding possessive.

" It doesn't work like…," He shut me with a kiss, I realized this method of his always works fast, whenever he wanted me to be quiet, he would kiss me.

" I'm scared," I told him truthfully.

" Scared of what?" He asked as he took my hand to kiss my knuckles.

" I'm not going to break your heart, I'm going to give you everything," He said.

" That's not it," I said as I tried to push off him but he didn't let me.

" Then what?" He asked looking into my eyes.

" People are good to be against this relationship when they find out, a relationship between a boss and his secretary is always frowned upon,"

" Then we don't have to make them know," He said.

I looked into his eyes weighing my options, should I go on with this or I should just go home and send my resignation tomorrow? But I found myself accepting his proposal.

" Okay,"

I just hope I wasn't making a decision I'll regret for the rest of my life.
