Chapter 4 Melody To Rhyme With Heartbeat

Kelvin smirked at the visible effect of his words on her. He was just near the target, he thought, and even if she would like to deny it, she might be getting inner goosebumps from his words. She was innocently beautiful and interesting too. And he had to admit, on a sincere basis, she looked really pretty and hot in this look. Only that, for a more personal reason, he preferred her natural look with no makeup, and no heavy hairstyle. Although she looked great, he would say she looked better in her simple office wear with her hair flowing down.

She looked one of the bitches right now_the bitches he liked to fuck only she wasn't.

Putting on a more serious and businesslike look, he leaned closer and frowned up at her, "But I would like to know what your priority is, working or looking good?" She hesitated at his question and he watched her cheeks get flushed again, probably out of embarrassment. Unable to maintain his intimidating stare at her, she glanced down and he smiled thinly. He, however enjoyed seeing her uneasy. That made him only want to rip her off her good girl skin and turn her to the bitch he loves to fuck, only that her pussy would be for him alone.

Pretending to be interested in her reply, he reached out for the mug of coffee still watching her intensely and took a sip.

"Sir, I..." She stopped and took a long breathe as if deciding to tell him the truth. However, the truth was not what he would love to listen to so he cut her off and asked her to sit.

"I'll be having a meeting with some other big firm in the next two hours and you'll be the one taking the speech. All I'll be doing is to sign where necessary. Is that clear? "She nodded, " I'll be sending you the details when you're out. "

He picked the mug of coffee again and took a big sip. He had to admit he liked the way she prepared it with less sugar and plenty of milk in it. Quite different from the other secretaries that worked with him over the years.

" Can I leave now, "she paused and watched him lick his bottom lip, savoring the taste, " -sir? " A gulp followed. She couldn't believe how hot and irresistible he looked doing that and she could swear she was tempted to think the dirty. It was no news to her that her boss was hot. Really hot. And not her type.

"No," he answered, dropping the mug, " There's a party I'll be attending later in the night and you'll have to go with me. But before that, I'll be eating out with a group of business partners at 2:00 pm and you'll be coming with me. We'll be signing some contracts and doing a little business over lunch. Also, you'll be reviewing some files with me before then. And about the party, I'll be sending Snow to go with you to buy a nice dress with my driver and... " He stopped when he noticed she was rather lost, staring at his lips than listening to whatever he was saying. She probably never listened to him. He frowned and knocked hard on the desk, catching her attention.

" Were you thinking of kissing me while I was talking? "He raised his brows at her with disdain and annoyance. He couldn't believe all he said didn't at all go through her ears.

" I'm sorry, sir, " She apologized, panicking for once but on realizing what he had just said, her cheeks flushed involuntarily. Was she doomed?

"Were you talking of the meeting?" And to say, he hadn't mentioned anything about the meeting in the past minutes.

He shook his head, disappointedly, "Don't worry," he said, still frowning, "I'll send you today's activities in destail along with a review of what the meetings would be about."

Beryl heaved a sigh of relief as she slumped into her seat. She was glad to be away from his domineering self like she would believe, yet hot self. She couldn't believe she was daydreaming about making out with him on his desk. The way his lips moved while he talked... Was that what Cici meant when she talked about making her steal her rich boss's heart? Well, she was wrong, she's the one whose heart was beginning to develop problems. Not feelings. On remembering his mention about sending her the details of the meeting, she turned on the PC before her for the very first time. Doing a swift operation on it, she became able to view the email from him. It was just more of what she had expect, so it wasn't difficult for her in finding what she had to talk about during the meeting. She was only going to talk about the competence of their company and go on to pointing why they should sign the contract with them, and maybe talk about the efficiency of their products and services. As she was about reading the last line of the review, another mail from her boss dropped and she abandoned the former to the later. It talked about him going to a party in her company, going out for lunch with a group of business partners and doing business over lunch. He also mentioned being responsible for her dress and look to the party and her means of getting to the party. Well, all that didn't freak her out like the 'you would be reviewing some files with me before lunch'. Alas, when she thought she wouldn't have to tolerate being close to his rude self again! Well, only that she would be dishonest with herself if she told herself the only reason she wasn't willing to go him again was because he was rude.

Just as she set to making a draft already, her phone beeped on her desk, notifying her of a message. It was her sister asking her how everything was. She frowned and plopped the phone on the desk back, refusing to type a reply. And she went back to drafting a hopefully good speech. Twenty minutes and she had typed down all she intended to say in the minute. At least, she could be clumsy around him, not when she wasn't with him. She sent him the speech for review and got a reply for him asking her to do a search about the company's years of working and the company's products. That could only mean she hadn't impress him a bit with whatever she typed but nevertheless, she heeded to his order.

The meeting for her went too smooth than she had imagined and she was more than glad when her listeners seemed to be more convinced about signing the contract with them. They were only few questions for her to answer. Those questions, were however not out of her research and she was grateful for him to have advise her to do a research. She was even more glad when he turned more busy with signing papers and documents than staring at her. She soon concluded her speech and was appreciated with a round of applause. Mr Rainbows turned to her after signing the paper that seemed to be the last, and fed her a smile. He seemed to be delighted in her for once and that only made her heart itch. Why did he have to be handsome and hot everytime? But he gave her less attention as he got engaged with the CEO of Siamen who was a man in his early fifties.

"You had a wonderful speech there, Ms, and coming from a beautiful person as you," The brown haired nerd sitting beside her remarked as she took her seat once more.

"Thanks," She said, barely interested in exchanging pleasantries as she packed up the necessary documents she needed and pulled out of the chair. After seeing to it that no one was watching her, she slipped out.

When she resumed at her desk again, her phone welcomed her, making multiple beeps in a second. She needn't not be told who it was and she wasn't interested in texting her back. It was Cici, of course, probably wanting to know if she had kissed her boss yet. Her mind wondered back to his compliment and the way he had looked at her earlier this morning and she could swear her heart rammed, even when he wasn't with her. But she wished she could understand him better. She just couldn't reason as to why he would be sweet to her one minute and turn mean the next. Why he would make her feel appreciated in one minute and make her look foolish the next. Her boss couldn't be the confused fellow, or was he? She couldn't quite tell but whatever it was, she was frightened when a beefy voice came from behind her, followed by a tap on her desk. She gasped and jumped out of her chair, terrified and thinking she was probably visited by Larry, the horrific creature in the most creepy movie set she'd ever watch: Come Play. Kelvin caught her by the arm and pulled her to him, afraid she'd fall.

She whimpered, still closing her eyes and still very panicked. She'd start to burn already and his strong grip on her felt cold.

Kelvin couldn't help but laugh at her childish, yet funny reaction. Never ever did he think his new secretary could be full of dramas. Well, and she looked cute, especially with her thrilling lips that made him want to kiss her there and then.

"Please, don't take me away, Larry. I promise to do whatever you ask me to do," She vowed, still refusing to open her eyes. Well, he didn't want to guess who Larry was although he wondered. But he didn't want to take her away, all he wanted was the permission to take her to his bed and kiss her naked self.

Taking up the challenge and deciding to act along, he wore a deep and hard voice, "I wouldn't take you away if you let me kiss you," And like she'd figure out it wasn't the creature that caused her first nightmare, she snapped her eyes open.

On seeing it was her hot boss, her cheeks heated up at how stupid and childish she had been but not until he let out a hearty laugh that captivated her whole senses and mind. Dimpled cheeks. Eyes squinted in the most adorable way she'd ever see. Lips widely opened and gorgeously curved. He looked so damn beautiful and his laughter had such a great melody to rhyme with her heartbeat. She'd never see someone look this perfectly gorgeous and attractive while smiling. She wanted, more than ever, to kiss him in the minute.

But just as he stopped laughing, before she could react, a throat clearing came from beyond them and she turned to see... Brown eyes nerd who'd give her a compliment about her speech.

"Sorry for the interruption but can we talk, brother?" Brother? Mr Rainbows released his now softened grip on her and putting on a more serious look, he turned to her, "Alright. I would call you in when we're done talking," He could've added for the files to make her look decent, Beryl thought as she watched the both of them disappear into his office. When the door finally closed behind them, she breathed out and sat down back on her chair, the melodious music of his laugh not going away. The images of him smiling at her doesn't seem to come off her mind and the fact that she was the reason behind his laughter made her heart only itch the more. Despite the possibility of getting her heart broken, she had to admit she was beginning to like him already. Probably crushing on him.
