Chapter 3 She's Not The Same

Dylan's POV

I didn't know I'd missed seeing her beautiful brown eyes this much and for a moment, I'd lost all control of my senses. I wanted to rush over to her and kiss her, but the indifferent look on her face brought me back to my senses.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Mr Scott.", she said smugly

"It's Nice to meet me?", I scoffed in disbelief. How can she comfortably act like this is the first time we're meeting each other?

She nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her face. I couldn't help but notice how damn gorgeous she was now. She'd always been a pretty girl, but now– she was a full-grown, sexy woman with perfect curves. I wonder how she'd look beneath me again.

"Dylan, Miss Jason here is-"

"Save it. I know who Mia is, Sheldon."

"That's Good then. Although, I wasn't aware you knew who she was.", Kira said with a confused look on her face.

"I know her very well, Kira", you all have no idea.

Mia showed no emotion over me or my claiming to know her. She looked like she couldn't wait to be done with this meeting.

Clearing her throat, she said," Mr Scott. I'm not too comfortable with you calling my first name. We're here for business sir, not to make friends."

I leaned back in my chair, smirking mischievously at her. "Here for business? I see". The tension in the boardroom rose, and some of them shifted nervously in their seats.

"Look, Mr Scott. We're going to have to work together, so I'd appreciate it if you behaved like the professional that you supposedly are".

She had a point, but I couldn't help but misbehave with her. It's been so long. She was probably putting up a show, pretending she didn't want to have anything other than work to do with me but I'm sure she'd let me bend her over this table and fuck her senseless.

"Mr Scott." Kira interrupted, "We invited Miss Jason over because you– I mean, we need her. The public doesn't see you in a good way and well-."

"I don't want to waste any more of my precious time here, Kira, so tell me exactly why she's here." I shot her a warning look.

"We need her to help us change your image. Like I said, people don't see you in a good way."

My gaze shifted back towards Mia. "How's that my problem? Why should I look good in front of people? Am I supposed to be eye candy or what", I scoffed

"This is for the good of your company Mr Scott. Please work with me here, let's make things easier for the both of us," Mia sighed.

"Let's just do this, Dylan ", Sheldon said, "It's not forever, just a little while. Let's make the world think you're a great guy and–" I interrupted him, "I need you all to leave the room right now. I'd like to discuss things with Miss Jason alone."

Kira cleared her throat, nodding for everyone to just go ahead with it and leave.

After they left, I folded my arms over my chest and focused on the woman who was supposed to be of help to me.

"They're gone now, so I'd like us to cut the bullshit, Princess."

"It's Miss Jason to you."

"For fucks sake Mia, how long do you plan to act all tough and professional like this?" I scoffed

"I'm here for business only, so I will remain professional while I'm still working here and I'd like it if you'd be professional too, Mr Scott."

"Again with the Mr Scott. Why won't you just call me by my first name?" I missed hearing her call my name and moan it too.

"I'm here for business.", she said straightforwardly.

"Business? Mia please, don't give me that. I'm pretty sure you applied for this job so you could get to see me again."

She laughed. "Mr Scott, you didn't tell me you were a comedian. Your wonderful team reached out to me. Kira practically begged me to take this job and help you out, yet here you are, thinking I applied to work with a certified asshole like you. Please get over yourself, let's get down to business."

I glared at her, feeling humiliation and rage stirring in my chest.

"Just so you know", she added, "I'm not Kira or any of your other employees that you can talk to or treat like shit. So be mindful of the way you relate with me, Mr Scott."

"Well, technically, I pay you, so that makes you my employee."

"You're paying me to help you and your wonderful company. So watch your tone, I'm the boss here." She stood up, sliding the documents across the table to me before making her way out of the boardroom. "Take a good look at those, because we have a lot to do if we're going to make your shitty self look like a good guy."

I resisted the urge to slam the table in anger. This wasn't my Mia anymore. She was being a bitch- a sexy, irresistible bitch. I hoped this was all a game, a sick payback because I couldn't lose my Mia for good. I can't lose her.

My emotions went wild in that moment and I tried hard to hold myself back from rushing over to her and pulling her in my arms. I might lose it if she continues being this way to me, fuck it. I don't want to lose her....not again.

As she walked past me, I grabbed her hand, pulling her back towards me so she'd fall into my lap. We were so freaking close, her lips just inches apart. I looked at them briefly, resisting the urge to close the space between us.

"You can pretend all you want Mia, but we both know you can't keep up with this boss bitch act." I smirked, "What do I have to say to get my dick in that perfect pussy of yours again? Are you waiting for some kind of apology before you come running back to me?".

She pushed me back and stood up glaring at me. "You must be sick in the head Mr Scott, if you think I'm here for anything other than business. Helping you clear your shitty image will boost my career, so stop being an arrogant asshole with a dick for brains. I wonder how you made it this far." She scoffed.

I glared back at her, barely holding my rage. "Okay, Miss Jason." I stood up and walked closer to her till we were inches apart, "If you fucking want to be that way, then fine, be my guest. You'll regret this."

I stared into those beautiful eyes I'd missed so much for a minute; then I walked away.
