Chapter 4 Lies

Aurby's POV

"You wish." He backs up glaring at me coldly and i stand there dumbfounded as he walks to his desk sitting as if nothing just happened.

He's incredibly smart for his age, but wow he is such a fool, thinking i'm like every other woman who would want this man.

"Oh, you're certainly wrong. I'm not like every woman who wants what's in your pants. Don't flatter yourself, sir." I bite back and he throws his folder down getting back up.

"What did you just say?" He asks not believing a word, and i gulp due to salvation.

"Nothing, sir." I look towards him as he leans up by his desk.

I walk up close to the desk, getting close to his face as he has a blank cold expression.

He wants to play this game, so will I.

"If you were gonna fire me, you would've done it a long time ago. Isn't that correct?" I ask as I almost touch his lips with mine which causes his breath to hitch when i move back.

"You need to watch who you're talking to, Aurby . Remember who gave you this job." He warns me slightly as i still test him.

"Interesting, you must've let something seep into your brain. I can still fire you." He says coldly, glaring down at me, putting his grip on my forearms slightly pushing me further away from him.

"Is that so?" I ask,

"Watch it." He warns me.

Does Mr. Knight want to die today? I think to myself taking in a deep breath.

"I have power over you, and I can make you gone in a second. If you ever pull something like that again." Matthew says quick witted,

"Like what?" I asked not curious since i already knew what i did to him.

"Don't play dumb." He coldly says to me.

"Get to work now." He lets go of me, leaving me dumbfounded. As i escape into the smaller area of his office.

He grabs my hand, and he slowly pulls me towards him.

"What's this?" I ask confusedly and he smirks.

"Actually. Come here." He remembers and puts a folder into my hand.

"Find out yourself." He says with still a smirk on his face.

I open it and see files of random occasions. I tilt my head confusedly.

Until I realize one of the random occasions was him hiring clients. The only thing I didn't notice on the flyer was that it said, hiring 1 individual. I was that one individual, which brings a shocked look on my face.

"Really?" I ask confused.

"Mhm." He confirms grabbing the folder back from me.

"I chose you as my assistant, remember who you belong to." He says swiftly in a blank tone.

Excuse me, i don't belong to no man.

"What do you want me to do today?" I ask curiously and he nods looking around.

"I have nothing today, I need to go somewhere work related but you need to come with me." He glares at me and i nod.

"We leave now." He reminds me putting his suit coat on, and I stand at the doorway waiting for him.

"Yes, sir." I get up and he stands up as well.

He finishes and walks by me, but i leave him a bit of room to walk first in front of me, just a couple feet ahead.

He presses the elevator button and it opens quickly, we both step in quietly and he presses the lobby button.

I stand silently as the elevator descends, i feel Matthew' warmth heat the elevator up which silently makes me shiver in return.

By the time the elevator gets to the lobby, we get out. Matthew escaping first and then i follow.

We walk out into the lobby, where i see a bunch of disheveled groupies. They all call his name one by one, trying to cling onto him or get his attention desperately.

"Nice to meet you." I say shyly and he nods.

"You too." He shakes my hand pulling it to his lips, and placing a kiss on my hand.

Which results in Matthew smacking his hand in return.

"Don't touch her." He glares at Louis, intensely and Louis widens his eyes.

"I just need to get the files, stop wasting my time." Matthew reveals and Louis rolls his eyes turning around from the groupies which also follow him around.

Squeezing through the women he grabs the file handing it back to Matthew.

Matthew grabs it swiftly and Louis returns with a wink towards me, causing me to bulge my eyes embarrassed.

Mr. Knight sees my uncomfortable facial expression, and grabs my arm gently, pulling me out the building as the SUV waits on the side for us.

"How blind can you be? He was being so flirtatious but you're not special he does that with every girl." He comforts, almost comforting himself it sounds like.

"What was that all about?" I ask curiously and he clicks his tongue.

"I guess i didn't notice it." I shrug and he reaches over the seat closing the divider between us and the driver.

"Listen here." He says forcefully, turning his body to me and i look up at him listening.

"Don't trust him. He doesn't know his boundaries. I went over this with you earlier. You belong under my name." He strains and puts his hand on the window, trapping me.

I give him a cold glare and shake my head, unable to speak.

"I don't belong to anyone, Mr. Knight." I stare into his cold eyes and he leans closer to me, not believing a word that escapes my mouth.

"Pardon?" He says into my ear, causing me to shiver.

"Wrong answer." He shakes his head, unforgivingly.

"You heard me." I quietly say and he pulls away bringing his lips in front of mine.

I bulge my eyes, and lean back into my seat as far as i can.

"I'm not like every other woman, who wants to 'belong' to you. I'm a real woman, and if you want me you can prove it to me the right way." I confess and he chuckles sarcastically.

"No one needs to tell me anything. I know what I seen." I say with attitude causing him to squint his eyes warning me coming closer to my lips, centimeters apart.

"Who told you that I want you?" He questions me and i roll my eyes.

"Please, If anyone is the one that wants me, it's you. You proved that to me this morning." He teases in a harsh way, and I part my lips.

I'm angry yet, so attracted to this man. I would kiss him if I can, yet afterwards I would slap him so hard, i'd knock the intelligence out of him.

"Yet you took such delight from that, sir. When your breathing kept hitching." I spit truthfully, his tongue clicks in annoyance.

"Shut your mouth, or you'll end up digging yourself into a deeper hole." He warns to me, and I turn away.

I feel his warm fingertips on my arm causing me to gulp nervously and suddenly he stops, following a chuckle as he shifts up from the seat, moving back to his.

"Ridiculous." He shakes his head and casually sits back, with a calm and collected facial expression while i'm over in my sea flushed, and embarrassed. Too embarrassed to show how pink my cheeks are, I turn to face the window.

Damn it this man, why did he stop.

"You're ridiculous." I shake my head, and he glares back into my eyes. Staring down at my lips, which causes my eyes to fall on his lips.

I mean, how the hell does he touch me like that without my consent.

Although i did like it.

He's so intimidating, and cold. I can't help but think about this man no matter how toxic he is.

Actually no i didn't.

I am currently sitting in probably the most awkward car ride ever, due to my absurd actions as well as Mr. Knight's.

I fall back into the window shyly, covering my face smoothly. I feel his glare on me, and look away.

"Stop being so gullible with others, it doesn't suit you." He says harshly, and i squint my eyes confused.

"How am I being gullible, sir? Explain." I mutter and he lets out a throaty, chuckle.

"For example, with my brother." I hear him as his voice gets lower.

"Sir, that's not being gullible, that's being friendly." I correct him and he glares at me.

"This is why i hate women." He shakes his head and i confess.

"This is why i hate men." I face palm exhausted.

"Please. I have no need to explain to you anything anymore." He clicks his tongue and I cross my arms.

"Although that's what you just did." I correct him and he glares at me.

"Keep it up." He warns me and i shut my mouth quickly.

"Sorry." I apologize and he looks at me in the eyes, like lasers.

"Show me you're sorry by actually working for once." He says in a annoyed voice and i gasp silently.

"What? I always work." I ask curiously and he shakes his head.

"Whatever." I watch him say as I stiffen up.

"No, i always work and do whatever." I state and he glares at me.

"Even if your job depended on it?" He asks confidently.

"Yes, I have enough respect for my job." I shake my head and he clicks his tongue.

"Mm, Indeed." He confesses sarcastically.

"You have a mistaken mind." He adds in and i turn to him.

"I do not." I argue back to him, biting my lip anxiously.

I hear his breath hitch and he turns away.

"Let's go." He says and gets out the car as it comes to a stop, I soon follow along and walk behind him.

"Okay." We walk into Mr. Knight offices, and he mutters to me quietly.

"Speed up, stop walking so far behind or those women will harass us."

"Sorry." I apologize for the 10th time today.

We get into the elevator unaccompanied as we watch the elevator shut on the groupies who are oddly attached to Matthew and he turns his whole body towards me facing me directly.

"You won't survive here if you continue to apologize, You'll end up hurting yourself and others if you just foolishly endure it." He spits truthfully, and I open my mouth to speak, but nothing comes out instead I nod.

"Right.." I mutter nervously and i feel a gap close between us.

"You apologizing doesn't make you a good person. You have a bad attitude and it needs to change, or i'll change it for you." He advices

"Okay." I nod again, nervously.

"Okay?" He asks in disbelief and I shake my head, clearing not using it.

"Yes, sir." I correct myself while the elevator dings and he lifts his head up at me, stepping back as the elevator opens to his office floor.

"I don't like being disrespected in my own building."

Once we walk out, we arrive to his office where I notice a fairly tall man standing outside his door.

"What the hell are you doing here. How did you get on this floor, Sara?" I look up at Mr. Knight who stands there clearly annoyed.

"The front office lady. I told her you're my brother and I needed to see you." The man says in a clear voice and i widen my eyes.

His brother? Meaning another damn sibling... Great.

Mr. Knight pulls me behind him and glares at him.

"What do you need." He demands more than asks in a quite grumpy voice.

"I want those files." His brother, Sara says in a worried tone.

"What's the reason." Mr. Knight asks again.

"Damn it, just let me see them i'll give them back in the morning." The man says annoyed and Matthew rolls his eyes pulling me into his office.

"Who is that woman?" He asks curiously, in a flirtatious tone.

"None of your business." Matthew shuts him out, and avoids the question making his OTHER brother, Sara extremely curious.

"If she doesn't want you, please send her my way. My, my you're so gorgeous." He says in which i smile gently at him as he's about to grab my hand just like Loius , and Matthew slaps his hand out the way as well.

"She doesn't want you to begin with." Matthew says causing to shut him down.

"Remember, don't be gullible." He whispers to me and begins pulling me by my arm gently, stepping inside his office. I suppose he only did that to shoo his brother out. In which it did due to the elevator ding as well as the clicking of a tongue.

Only one thing, his hand is still on my arm and my eyes widen, stunned.

"What's with my brothers having some sort of attraction to you... I beg to differ." He mumbles looking down at me.

"I don't know..I'm not that bad looking." I shrug

"I guess you can say you're not as bad as I thought." He mutters, in which I sense nervousness in his voice which shakes.

"How will you find out?" I ask confusedly

"I guess you will see soon." He states in a clear, blank expression.

"I guess you can say you're not as bad as I thought." He mutters, in which I sense nervousness in his voice which shakes.

"How will you find out?" I ask confusedly

"I guess you will see soon." He states in a clear, blank expression.

Who does Matthew think he is? Messing with my feelings and heart like this.

I watch him observantly, as he walks over to the door shutting it behind him and coming back over to the desk where i begin to walk backward as he strolls over to me.

"What's so attractive about you, hm? Why do my brothers find you so breath taking? I'm asking you, not insulting you. I expect an answer." He complains as I have already crowded myself near a corner just so he doesn't have to.

"What's with you pushing me against things? And I don't know, sir. I guess I'm decent to men?" I shrug confused, as much as he is.

"Are you asking or telling me that? They don't think of you as decent, what do you like about yourself?" He questions me suspiciously,

"I don't know, my eyes? Or bone structure.." I guess simply.

"Uh, my collarbones are nicely shaped apparently. As well as my facial structure." I reveal to him and he looks down at my face, curiously.

"Bone structure? That's awfully specific, what do you mean specifically." He says wanting full depth.

"Who told you that nonsense?" Matthew says exploiting me,

"My family, and others." I fess up to him and he glares at me, squinting his eyes curiously.

I look down shyly. I blink multiple times, checking to see if I am possibly dreaming or if I have gone mad.

"Maybe I can see why they're so attracted to you, or maybe i can't. You'll never know." He shrugs to me and I close my eyes exhaustedly.

"I think i have my answer already, sensing your actions a couple days." I say abruptly, and he tilts his head.

"Is that so? I am almost possible you don't know how things go with a man and a woman." He says and i hang my jaw low.

Oh hell no, of course i am aware with how things work, I've been in high school before, and made a couple of mistakes. I'll prove you wrong.

"I'm not some unexperienced woman." I shake my head and he clicks his tongue, causing me to finally grow courage and make a bold move.

"If people are attracted to me, so be it. I guess i'm attractive." I shrug and he laughs."If people are attracted to me, so be it. I guess i'm attractive." I shrug and he laughs.

"Who has put nonsense in your head, saying you're attractive?" He reveals sarcastically and I smirk.

"No one needed to say I was, you showed me that tonight with your actions." I confess and he stands there dumbfounded, and finally I walk away with the last word.
