I arrive to Moore corporation building within fifteen minutes.
“Mr. Grey thank you and you can go back to Jerome, I am informed that I am going with Moore service car today going to the site.”
“Okay Miss Chloe, take care.”
Mr. Grey left and so I went inside the the Moore building.
When I entered the receptionist hurriedly open the elevator for me and pressed the CEO office floor.
The elevator took me where I am headed and when I stepped out of the elevator there’s no Alex to be found so instead I walked toward his office room but my heart is beating ironically.
I knocked on his door. I waited outside until the door was opened and Denyx was the one who was standing in front of me.
We stared for a minute and my eyebrows cock realizing he was standing in front of me without letting me in inside his office.
” Are you gonna stare at me like this or will you let me in before we left?”
Instead of answering my questions, he smiled playfully.
“My apology for blocking your way. I was carried away of your stunning beauty.”
I was stunned because of his word.
“This man is really getting into my nerves. Is he flirting with me?”
I murmured in my thoughts.
I didn’t smile but instead I raised my right eyebrow and said
” Excuse me? ”
He moved few steps and to step back and let me in.
He gave me a smile instead but I ignored him and I walk in facing my back to him.
“Please have a seat Miss Mack. Do you want anything to drink?”
He asked.
“No, thank you Mr. Moore I’m good. I’m afraid we are going to leave now.”
I cut him off.
” I’ll just grab my key Miss Mack and finish signing some documents then we’ll leave.”
I sat on the huge sofa in his office.
He has a good taste with his interior design. It’s elegant and very tidy.
I can see how neat his office. My eyes wondered around in his office without glancing at him.
I know he was looking at me but I intend to ignore his eyes.
While waiting for him I grab the magazine on the center of his table but when I flipped the page I saw his pictures published in it.
It says the billionaire icon of the year.
I closed the magazine quickly before I will feel embarrass because he is looking at me.
I felt the tension between us but I chose to stay calm. Then I heard him talking.
” Can I call you Chloe if it is okay with you Miss Mack?”
I shrugged my shoulder.
“If that’s make you comfortable Mr. Moore that’s not a big deal for me.”
“Thanks it settled then, please don’t call me Mr. Moore it’s too formal between us especially we will working together. Just call me Denyx.”
“I’ll try Mr. Moore, I mean Denyx.”
Talking to him but my head is lowered looking at the new magazine on the table that haven’t open yet.
I don’t wanna see his killing gaze on me. I know he can feel my hesitation.
“Are you scared of me Chloe? Why you can’t even look at me?”
I snapped a glance at him and meet his two grey eyes.
The chill on my nerves is killing me.
“No, I am not. Are you done with your documents?”
I ask him to cut him for asking more.
“Yeah I am done signing. Sorry for keep you waiting.”
He stood up and grabbed the key on his working table and walked closer to me.
I stood up also before he can reach to where I am sitting and walked going to the door.
I twitched the door knob but his hand suddenly hold the door knob to open it.
Our hand touched and I can feel the warm of his hands and it feels like the electric current that flows in my body.
I was stunned, I can feel his warmed breathe behind my ear.
“Let me open the door for you Chloe.”
I pulled my hand away from him and gave him space to open the door for us.
When he opened the door I walked straight where the elevator was and pressed the button.
I can hear his steps getting closer to me.
The elevator opened and both of us went inside.
He pressed the Basement button and I know we are going down to where his car is parking. I was right because his car sounds when he clicked the unlock button on his remote car.
I followed him and he opened the co-driver seat for me.
I slid my self to his BMW car and he closed the door and walked to another side to the driver seat and he get in.
We buckled our seatbelts ready to go. He started the engine and the car started to move. There were a silent inside the car. Only our heartbeats can be heard.
I look straight to the road as my heart beating uncomfortably sitting next to him. I can feel his also tense.
“Would you mind if I ask you something?”
He asked but he is focusing on the road while driving. I turned my head to the left side to face him.
“Sure! Not at all.”
“Why did you left this morning without waking me up?”
“Sorry about that, I just thought you were tired and I bothered you enough to disturb your rest.”
I simply replied and turned my head again looking on the road.
” Is that so?”
” Yes, nothing else. ”
” Are you sure it has nothing to do of what had happened last night? ”
I froze in my seat. I didn’t expect him to recall the kiss that had happened because it tense me a lot last night.
I want to forget it and there he was asking me about it.
I ignored the tense between us.
I keep telling my self to calm down because you have a mission why I came back to this place.
” Please forget what had happened to us last night. The kiss was an accident. I fell on you accidentally and that was it. Don’t think about that anymore.”
I couldn’t see his face expression because I don’t want to see it either.
I know my face is blushing and I don’t want him to see that I am tense.
“I’ll try to forget it but I can’t promise.”
“What do you mean by that?”
I asked
“Nothing.”
He said.
I tried to relax my self and not to be affected of what he is saying.
I closed my eyes because I am feeling tired after a short slept last night and too much work today.
I felt my eyes are heavy.
I didn’t realized I fell asleep faster than I imagine. I smelled something familiar while my are were closed and slowly I am awakening.
I felt that my head is resting to a comfortable shoulder but the car is already stopped.
I suddenly open my eyes and I saw we were in the project site but still inside the car and my head is resting comfortably on his shoulder.
I sit straight and looked at him. I am slightly confused.
Now we are facing and our eyes are locked while he is looking at me smiling.
I am completely blushing in front of him.
“I’m so sorry Mr. Moore I didn’t know I fell asleep and you didn’t wake me up. How long did I sleep?”
“Relax Chloe please call me Denyx. First of all you look more beautiful when you’re asleep and blushing.”
He is grinning at me.
“I didn’t wake you up because you seemed very tired. We’ve been here for fifteen minutes.”
” Oh gosh why did I sleep. What I have done! It’s so embarrassing. I’m so sorry for sleeping on your shoulder Denyx I didn’t mean this to happen.”
I said while I cup my face with my 2 hands. “Why are you upset Chloe? It’s not a big deal. Come on don’t be sorry about it. It’s fine.”
He tried to comfort me but I know he can see how embarrassed I. was.
Then he reached out something in his car compartment in front of me.
“Here take this it might help you feeling better when you’re upset.”
I was surprised of what he is offering to me.
I can’t believe that he has may favorite lollipop when I feel uncomfortable, worried, tense or upset.
My eyes are wide open staring on the lollipop he is holding.
Every time I am not okay since when I was young only the lollipop can calm me down of whatever feeling I have.
I looked at his face and then his hand.
“Go on take it, it might help you I won’t mind if you eat this lollipop.”
He said looking at me with a smile on his handsome face. I reached the lollipop on his hand smiling then opened it and put in my mouth.
“Hmmm this is really good. Thank you Denyx.” I don’t care if I look crazy having lollipop but I can’t resist it at all.
I am feeling being free of my worries.
The tension, embarrassment and worries that I was feeling while ago is slowing fading.
For the 1st time I smiled sincerely since I arrived in this city. Suddenly I asked him feeling confused.
“Why do you have lollipop in your car?”
He chuckled.
“Believe it or not I do have always lollipop with me. It reminds me of something.”
Suddenly his face turned serious.
” That’s the only thing it reminds me of someone very important to me. ”
He sighed.
I can see on his face how important who ever the person he is talking.
I didn’t say anything and response to what he said.
There were silent inside the car while I’m licking my lollipop. Then after few minutes I spoke.
“That someone must be very lucky.”
I felt pain inside my heart knowing there is a special someone in his life.
I tried to concentrate with my lollipop.
Surely I felt better a lot when I started eating the lollipop he gave me.
