Chapter 10 Attack

I spotted Justin standing in front of my office staring down at his watch, immediately he spotted me, he started walking away. I dabbed off the sweat in my face and ran after him.

Did boss instruct you to check on me?, I said after I managed to stop him.

Yes Miss Edna, it's a stain on the company's image that you are coming to work at this time of the day. Do you want to be sacked?

No, I don't want to be sacked, I'll just go up and explain things to him. Please.

It's not necessary, Justin replied and continued walking ahead, I tried to cover up the big distance as his legs were long.

I still need to give him an explanation, I don't want to be the pitfall of this company, I still urged Justin.

Alright, I'll make an appointment with him for you. Just follow me.

I let out a sigh of relief after Justin said this and we left for the uppest floor.

The sensor door that led to his office opened and ushered us in. I stood behind Justin yet leaned forward to drown the good looks of my boss. Today, he's on a navy blue suit. The weather was a bit hot so he had only the white shirt on while his blue suit jacket was placed orderly on the hanger located at the adjacent part of the office. Although the AC is on, he still went ahead to unbotton the first two buttons of his shirt showing visibly his d*mn luscious Adams apple and broad chest.

Young Master, she insists on coming to see you, to explain the reason for her lateness probably, Justin explains and I withdraw my gaze and lower it.

Dylan doesn't reply and I look up to steal a glance at him working on some files on his table. If I had known I would be so enchanted by his looks that I wouldn't be able to withdraw my gaze, then I wouldn't have looked up at him at all. The room was quiet except for the chilling breeze from the AC. Justin had excused himself after he spoke leaving only me and the snobbish handsome man alone.

I watched as his hands delicately arranged the files on the table and I admired such long slender fingers. I didn't even know how weird the silence was as I was lost in my thoughts on him. When he finally raised up his heads, I quickly retracted my gaze, pretending to be study the office outstanding features. But he had caught me staring.

Are you just going to stand there without stating the reason why you're here?, His deep seducing voice echoed in the room and I found myself lusting after it.

Huh!, I stammered and tried to figure out what to say.

Why are you always deep in thoughts when we meet?

I heard him speaking but I didn't comprehend. I only imagined pressing my probably chapped lips on his small pink lips. I sighed as I thought of the loud smack that would be heard when we disengage. I wouldn't even want to let go of his lips. I wonder if I'm even worthy to think those thoughts . After all, I'm least of girls that someone like him should admire, but I ended up having more crazy thoughts about him. So bad that I had this habit of fantasizing. Something I couldn't even control in front of my boss.....However when I saw him reclining in his chair, about to stand up , I jolted back to reality.

S-sir, I had been working on the project all night, i-ive made a lot of progress so far...

I was very reluctant when I saw him stand up and walk up to me, cold sweat broke out of my forehead despite the heat.

Why are you always deep in thoughts when we meet?

He asked this question staring directly into my eyes.

I gripped the rim of my skirt feeling the cold sweat on my neck as well. What answer do I have to that question?

Me-sir I. I...

This project is very important to this company even I am looking up to you, he further explained.

I was happy that he digressed and I assured him that there will be no mistakes. However, he drew closer to me and held up my chin.

I gasped.

You still haven't answered my question.

What.. this is inappropriate, I tried to speak but words couldn't flow out. My anxiety was at the peak and I swallowed some imaginary lump down my throat, my hands were damp with sweat especially knowing that his hands were still on my chin. I try to avoid his gaze but he held up my chin and forced me to look at him.

His honey brown eyes were cold yet beautiful. Those eyes revealed a mysterious yet dangerous feeling which could make one drown in the ocean of fantasy and those almond shaped eyes gorging into mine got my head blank for a moment. Feeling his touch on my skin felt so warm, i swallowed and looked up at him again.

Sir...

Sir, do you want to k*ss me...

I saw him frown deeply when he heard this and I got more anxious. However, anxiety could make me very careless with words.

Do you think I want to k*ss you?

He moved closer and I staggered back but he pulled me by my wrists and said

If you have such thoughts again, that day I'll make you forget what it means to k*ss. Go away.

I don't know why but I felt his words had a deeper meaning. When he finally let me go, I quickly took a short bow and rushed out of the room. D*mn, how could I feel so hot despite the AC. Did I really imagine too much that he intended to k*ss me. I'm not even worthy of him. But I still have the freedom to think about him right? This day had really been a bad start off, I hoped the day would end up better however I was wrong. Aimee would always want to make me regret working in this company and honestly, today, I did regret.
