Kiara POV
I felt explicitly guilt-ridden in my heart as I watch both friends howled at each other. Since I started working here, I’ve never seen Mack like this, he was constantly loving and jovial. As soon as he finished his words in a seldom tone, he bounced out of the office, banging the door at his back. Undoubtedly, he had already had his mind in the so-called partnership.
I looked at the CEO, he was now sitting on his chair, his head was drooped, but one could notify effortlessly that he was dismal. Without thinking twice, “I have an idea, sir” I blurted out. He then slowly lifted his head to look at me, and as expected, he was looking tragic.
Just a little while ago, he was vigorous. His impersonal yet, playful look had managed to soothe my disturbed mind. But now, his gracious and sensual ambiance were all gone. “I’ll go back to the chairman” I went on, but his face suddenly tensed up, like a bow string being pulled behind. And that seemed to interrupt the nonexistent idea I had in mind. Believe me, I had nothing in mind, just wanted to see if I could create something, but with one look at his face at this moment, it asserted that I just stirred the whole thing.
He got up, letting his fury eyes stays firmly on my figure. My hands that were on my side were clutched together tightly as he carefully walked a few steps to my rectangular desk. “I didn’t hear you, what did you just say?” He asked in a gentle tone, his forehead, and his temples were all serene without a single disturbance.
For some tensed moment, I couldn’t regain the presence of mind, was just lost staring deeply at his luminous eyes, which caused my heart to flutter. I’ve never looked at him attentively at this close distance. “I’m still standing here” His hoarse voice startled me, I retrieved my balance and quickly sought for what to say.
“I feel like I caused everything, so I should be worthy to fix it” I said decisively, his brows permeated with evil, “So what do you intend to do Miss Kiara? To lure the chairman and have his dick buried deep inside your mouth, so he would change his mind in a blink?” He taunted, moving around and stood before me, literally.
He scrambled my chair and went to stand at my back. “Prove your worthy to me, Miss Kiara” He whispered, his lips were right next to my ear, almost touching my skin. His breath blew on the hair on my collarbone now and then, my breath caught in my throat as a chill run down my spine. His wide palm suddenly gripped my waist, I muffled a gasp as he drew me unto himself, and I could feel his hardened manhood against my butt. Furthermore, his other hand was now fondling with my boobs inside the blouse I was wearing. I repressed a moan and abruptly turned to look at his face, “I’ll prove my worthy to you, by going to the chairman to do what is necessary, Mr. Alexander” I told him, profoundly. Instantaneously, his countenance marred with shock, as he was not expecting me to be so straightforward.
He retracted himself. However, he was still holding my gaze. “Kiara?” He mumbled softly, probably still not believing his ears. I originally have no intention to utter such, but I think I have to do this. If he hadn’t pulled me away from the flirtatious chairman, then he would have clearly won the deal.
“Well, it’s an audacious decision, but remember what Mack had said before he left, so let me do this” I requested, rather plea. He took a step back, “So you’re trying to solicit?” He pulled a face and said with disdain. “I’m doing this for your sake, Mr…” I was saying, “Shut up!” my words were wiped out by his shouting. “Are you out of your mind, have you lost your senses?” His tone aggravated, “I thought you already resigned from that slutty business of yours” He went ballistic, his eyes glaring holes into my body. “Of course Mr. CEO, but I’m doing this for your sake, I don’t ever want to be indebted to you!” I looked at his face and almost yelled. He laughed hollowly, I wasn’t scared of him but moved closer instead, “And besides, what does it have to do with you? The most important thing is you attaining the deal, isn’t it?” He readjusted his expression and began to walk back to his desk, his back was facing me, “Well, it has nothing to do with me as you just said, do whatever you want but just so you know…” He paused and turned around to face me with an inscrutable look, “If you go back to that man, then you’re fired” My heart plummeted into my stomach, was he threatening me now?
I was waiting patiently for a cab outside the company when a red sport car suddenly pulled to a halt right in front of me. I scoffed, of course I knew who owns the car. He got down from the car, adjusted his ebony jacket and moved closer to where I was.
“Hi, pretty lady” He said amiably, I dispersed my gaze from his upsetting face and then walked a few steps away from him. “Are you mad at me?” He says at my back, then I tilted my head to face him. “What are you doing here?” I demanded aggressively, he puffed out a breath then went back to his car to open the side door. “Let’s get you home first, only then would I be to elucidate things to you” He expressed, taking his red lips into his mouth in the process. I rolled my eyes and walked past him, I got to the car and slide in, throwing down my handbag on my feet.
He jogged around the car and got behind the wheels, he stole a glance at me as he fired the engine. But I wasn’t looking at his side, but staring out the window. I was just thinking about the whole thing, throughout today the CEO avoided me like a plague. He didn’t utter any word to me and called out to the secretary whenever he needed something.
Mack had left the office since this morning, so I couldn’t reach out to him as well. What do I do? I just wanted to reclaim his prestige, is it too much to do?
“So, what’s it that you want to explain?” That was all I could say, as soon as we both entered my apartment. “Get me a glass of water first, please” He demanded, I stared at his face for two seconds before striding into the kitchen. I came back with the glass of water and stretched it out for him, he collected it and muttered “Thanks” I sat on a single couch, completely distancing myself from him. After he drank up from the water, he kept the glass cup on the coffee table in the middle of the room.
“Kiara” He called softly, “Bring me up to speed already Nicholas, explain to me why you lied about you coming to Paris only to see me” I said imperiously. “I was only trying to surprise you, Kiara, can’t you see that?” He said defensively. My brows knitted, “You called that surprise?” He got on his feet, and I rapidly did the same, “If that was a surprise, what would you call your overlooked actions?” I questioned grimly, closing up the little space between us. “You clearly saw how the chairman was trying to flirt with me, but you fucking ignore it, Nicholas!” I rasped, “And now, you are joyous, aren’t you? You won the deal even though you and I both know my boss is the righteous person”
By the time I completed my words, he was visibly upset as he scowled, “Shut the fuck up, Kiara! Tell me, aren’t you happy for me? It’s been long last I won such a great deal, aren’t you happy for your boyfriend?”
I tugged the strains of my hair that were surrounding my forehead and tuts, “Stop spurting nonsense Nick, you don’t deserve it and trust me, I won’t stop till Mr. Alexander got back what is his” I said determinedly, my nails were almost embedded into my palm, but I didn’t realize it. “So you are going against your boyfriend because of your boss?” He asked calmly, holding a sympathetic look. “What an irresponsible boyfriend” I said aloud to his hearing, and without looking back at him, I proceeded towards my room.
“Kindly shut the door behind you, when you are ready to leave” I tilted my head back and told him, sarcastically. Neglecting the fact that, he rented the flat for me with his money. But who cares? He had made my anger exacerbated with all those nonsense he just had spewed.
