Chapter 2 Emotion

**Xavier POV***

***7am***

I woke up without my alarm going off. I turned around and cancelled the alarm since I was already awake.

I took a quick shower, got dressed, and by the time I checked the clock, it was already a little past eight.

I ordered her dress yesterday so it must have arrived by now. I came downstairs, and saw her sitting down. I compulsively looked at my watch and it was 8:50. She's early.

"Hope you've had breakfast?". I said as soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Yes sir". She said still avoiding my eyes, even my face on general.

"Let's go". I said. We both walked out to my car.

The drive to my office was quiet. I kept glancing at her though, she looked like she wanted to say something.

"Speak already". I said, keeping my eyes on the road.

"Huh?". She asked me looking lost and confused.

"I said speak. I know you want to say something, so, speak". I said.

"Oh. I just wanted to remind you of my..". I cut her short.

"Clothes?. I remember, love. I will send the helpers to get clothes for you. Satisfied?". I said.

"Thank you". She said, tugging at the hem of her dress.

We reached the office thirty minutes later. We got down and as I expected she got stares.

We walked over to the elevator and I began to tell her on her position in the company.

"You'll work as my secretary, only because my father would need evidence and I am very sure that, that old man would already be in the motion of interfering with my business". I said.

At this point the elevator went off and I got out. I stopped abruptly when I remembered something.

"The receptionist will show you your office. And I'll need to see you by 12pm. Understood?". I said without turning my face to her.

"Yes sir". She responded, I'm sure with her eyes to the floor.

I walked into my office and settled down. I looked at my desk and saw the files gathered on it.

I have a lot of work to do.

I started working but midway my mind wandered. Why does she look so innocent?. Does she have a love life?.

I asked myself all this questions. I wanted to know. But then I knew it wasn't my place.

I soon resumed my signing of files and disapproving of substandard project.

I was engrossed in my work and I didn't know when it reached 12pm, until someone knocked on my door and I glanced my at my watch.

"Come in". I said, not removing my eyes from my work.

"Sir, you sent for me". I heard her voice, calm and soothing.

I looked up and she was infront of my desk.

"Take a seat". I said, I reclined in my chair, studying at her every move.

She sat down. "So, I want to let you know that for the fact that you are my secretary, you will be with in every business meeting and even business trip. Understood?". I said.

She nodded. I needed to hear her speak.

"Answer me". I growled, unexpectedly.

"Yes. Yes, sir". She said. I still stared at her. I wanted her.

"Leave". I said, rather rudely. I was barely holding myself back. And for the first time, she looked at me.

My blue eyes met hers. Her eyes were pretty. Brown eyes, staring at me, with so many questions and shock.

I have never raised my voice on her for the short time we've met, so I understand her shock.

"I'm sorry. Thank you". She said and stood up to leave.

"Dorothy". I found myself calling out. She turned back.

"Yes, sir". She said.

I stood up. My eyes trained on her. I saw her eyes looking at my arm with my sleeves rolled up.

"Careful, love. If you keep staring, someone might think you're falling for me."

"What?. I wasn't staring at you". She said, blushing out of embarrassment.

I came close to her. I smelt her strawberry scent on her. I brought my nose to her neck.

"Do you know how beautiful you are?". I said, my lips on her neckline.

Her breath started getting shallow. I smirked knowing I had an effect on her.

I removed my lip from her neckline. My face so close to her face. She looked up to me. Our lips inches away, her eyes staring into mine.

I leaned in and I kissed her. It was better than expected. I sucked on her lips, I couldn't get enough of her strawberry lip taste.

At this point I started thinking that her best fruit would also be strawberry. I kissed her for sometime, nibbling on her lower lip.

She soon started kissing me back. But then I knew, that if this kiss would go on, I wouldn't be able to restrain myself.

I disengaged from her. I stepped back. I looked at her, her lips in particular.

"Get out". I said, looking at her coldly.

"What?". She said, in utter shock.

I walked back to my chair, used my hand to comb my hair back.

"Get out, goddamit. Are you deaf?". I shouted at her and I saw her flinch.

"I'm....". She started. I breathed out, loudly, like I was tired of talking.

"Don't bother. Just get out". I said, not sparing her another look.

I heard her heels, retreating, soon the door opened and then it closed again. As she left, I breathed out.

'I need to control myself. Dorothy, what the hell are you doing?'. I thought our loud.

I'm sure that she will be feeling used by now. I'm feeling so annoyed with myself, right now. I made the first move and I treated her like trash.
