Chapter 9 Fantasizing

The bidding meeting took off on a good note.

There were other big companies present.

And some other employees of other companies were seated in the row chairs in the hallway while Mr Adrian and other CEOs were inside the conference room.

I was called to answer a few questions.

I had felt nervous to be standing in front of so many powerful men and women but strangely when I looked at Adrian's face... his expression was soft and he actually smiled at me and somehow... I calmed my nerves and I was able to speak professionally.

But when I go back to the hallway...I got more nervous wondering if this would turn out great for our company.

My job was on the line.

Finally, the meeting ended.

The door of the conference hall opened and people started coming out.

Adrian walked out and I tried to read his facial expression.

To know if the meeting turns out in our company's favor.

But he had a very hard look on his face.

My heart fell.

"They could only mean one that the project wasn't accepted."

"Mr Adrian?" I began quietly.

Let's get going, he let out and started walking away.

I followed suit thinking that my life was going to turn from now on.

I'm getting fired.

I would have started job hunting.

I hope to find a new job on time.

But I know it wouldn't be easy.

We stood among the people waiting for the elevator.

I was standing behind Adrian not even knowing what to say.

To lighten the situation?

He turned around and suddenly asked.

"Why aren't you asking me how the meeting went'

I blinked.

Was there any need?

His face says it all.

But then I swallowed and asked, "What was the result".

Our company won the bidding.

I frowned," WHAT".

"Why are you surprised, You didn't want us to win the bid".

I quickly shook my head.

"No... it...it's just... I thought we lost. I mean..you were looking furious when you walked out of the conference hall....

Furious? He cut in.

Oh.. he might not think he looks furious so I quickly rephrase that.

"I mean you look normal".

"Should I be jumping for joy".

I shrugged.

"I'm used to winning" he let out.

I discreetly eyed him.

Proud peacock.

" But anyway, I'm so happy we won," I said clasping my palms together...

I couldn't even hide how happy I was.

Ding.

The elevator arrived and we both went in.

The elevator immediately became jam-packed making it practically everyone uncomfortable.

I was at the corner of two men pressed against my body.

I found it hard to breathe...I wasn't just uncomfortable....it was embarrassing so I tried by all means to turn around so my back would be to them while my chest would be on the wall.

Still, the person at my back was pressing me hard against me.

I felt him against my ass and I grew more embarrassed.

Excuse me, I heard someone say and I looked back and it was Adrian respectfully pushing the men aside.

He then stood beside me and placed his hand on the wall giving me space.

Our eyes met and he kissed me.

I was shocked.

I turned my face and smiled.

Wow..he...he is like a fucking Prince Charming right now

Did he just kiss me?

My Prince Charming.

I know I shouldn't be blushing so hard but I couldn't help it.

I stared at his hands which were against the wall.. protecting me from feeling uncomfortable.

His scent enveloped me and I sighed deeply..

The hard thumping of my heart snapped me out of my reverie.

I placed my hand on my chest trying to stop it from beating fast like that.

He's just been a gentleman.

There is no need to get all worked up

But wait, he just kissed me. Or is it my imagination?

Snap out of it.

The elevator stopped and when I stretched my neck to look at the number on the screen.

A minority of the people got out and I couldn't for us to get to the first floor already.

At the same time, I wish the elevator would slow down and let me be in this position for a while.

"This is crazy".

I felt him move closer to me and I felt his breath on my neck.

My heart rate increased even more.

And the fact that I started thinking I had one night stand makes matters worse.

I couldn't believe we have been together on the bed...naked.

I swallowed and slowly twisted my body to feel comfortable sort of.

"Don't move", he whispered.

I slowly looked at his face.

His eyes were dilated and his jaw clenched.

Was he feeling uncomfortable as I was?

I felt him move closer and something hard pressed against my body.

I bit my bottom lip and he moved back a bit.

But I could still feel him against me.

It was as if he were still there.

Oh my God.

I could finally tell why he looked like that.

He was bearing down on a hard-on.

Did I make him hard?

Was it because of the kiss?

My face grew hotter.

Ding.

I hurriedly look at the number on the screen and we are finally on the first floor.

Thank Goodness.

Everyone started walking out and as I was quickly stepping out, someone held me and I looked back It was him, it was the remaining one to me he and he said.

"I know you still want this body".

I do want the body.

I have to snap out of it.

Sir, I don't want it, You kissing me was out of line Please don't do that next time.

I quickly stepped out of the elevator.

I was walking briskly but I was aware that he was behind me.

I touched my face.

What was that?

I thought he was being gentle and protecting me but it ended up being kind of seductive.

Oh my god.

"Leah"

I froze as he called.

We had just come to the car.

He stood in front of me and awkwardly looked around.

He seems to be embarrassed and a bit nervous.

I frowned.

After kissing and acting like I want you.

Hmmm

This is unlike him.

I have seen him vulnerable before.

He suck his hands into his pockets and cleared his throat.

"Hmmm...you did a pretty good job and I know how you've been working so hard to make it happen. You can have a day of rest.

Is that all you have to say to me

You can't even apologize for kissing me and acting as if I wanted you again.

But I couldn't say.

I nodded, dumbly" Thanks sir".

"Let's....let's head back," he said and he looked around again and he quickly turned and got into the car.

I bit my lip and got into the front seat beside the driver.

I didn't want to sit beside him right now.

I have to get my thoughts together.

Still, it didn't help.

The memories of that night started replaying and how he just kissed came back to my head.

This time... clearer.

The way he rose above me...the way he slid inside...the way he made me moan.

I swallowed my spit....

He fucked me so good.

Aaron had never fucked me like that before.

We didn't say anything to each other throughout the ride.

When I finally got back to my desk, my colleagues came around to congratulate me.

Lucy came around to hug me.

"Leah thank you so much, I'm so happy you pulled this through, I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if you had gotten fired."

"Oh stop it, you've helped me a lot, Lucy.

" Leah, Mr Adrian wants you in his office right now. Nic said.

I panicked.

What does he want now?

Perhaps to continue what he started in the elevator.
