Marie’s POV
He reached for his pocket as he brought out his mobile phone. My jaw dropped as I saw he was using an IOS, but not just that, the moment the phone unlocked, I saw his half nude picture.
Exposing his full abs and cupped chest. “Did I just see 8 and?” I mumbled within as I slowly raised my eyes to him.
In the photograph, his shorts were slightly down, exposing his waistline.
“He was such a handsome man there.” I shrieked as he apologized one last time as he turned off his phone.
And then, before he could slide the phone in, his Truecaller popped up Rex’s name and he answered the call and this time around, his elbow greased my breast.
As the tip of my breasts got a little bit compressed by his elbow, which he quickly moved, I saw myself reacting to his touch almost immediately. I wore a normal half cut, which definitely meant he just felt my boobs.
I hiccuped this time around as I patted my chest in light embarrassment. He continued for a while as he spoke inaudibly, and I wondered how he could talk this low without any of us hearing what he was saying.
He chuckled softly at intervals. His voice settled in the enclaved elevator as all I could feel was his fresh breath.
He turned to a position where I couldn’t avoid looking at his suit, and picturing his beautiful and tempting body. I still had a clear picture of him in my head and at intervals, our eyes met.
“Was he intentionally trying to flirt with me?” I scowled this time around as I looked at him with a frown but then, he smiled effortlessly and I was lost.
“Is he smiling at me? Or to Rex who was currently on the phone with.
The elevator finally opened and we all stepped out as I hurriedly rushed down to my desk. Yeah, I got promoted the next day, and I was now among those working in the finance bureau.
“Hello, you won’t believe what just happened right now?” I said in excitement and also, in slight embarrassment as I spoke with Elena over the phone.
“Are you being serious right now, Marie? What’s so important that you couldn’t wait till we close.” She scowled and from her tone, I could say that she was currently wearing a frown on her face.
“Come on, Elena. Must you always be a killjoy? At least, hear me out first.” I sneered as I chuckled softly.
“You know using phones during my working hours is highly prohibited. I don’t know why he made me his personal assistant.” She said over the phone.
“Well, I just had the most embarrassing day of my life.” I whined, followed by my laughter.
“And what is that? Don’t tell me this is about Clark again!?” She queried and I remained quiet for a while.
“Okay… okay, here it goes. You know we parted ways?”
“Yeah, I can remember. So, what happened? You fell and he caught you?” She scoffed.
And I felt pained as I heard her chuckling from her end.
“Really? If it was that, better. But this is way worse than that.” I groaned as I looked at the staff who sat opposite my desk.
He was being too friendly and that was one thing I found unattractive because I wasn’t in any way attracted to him.
“So, what happened? You both kissed?” She scoffed, chuckling softly.
“Can you be serious right now?” I snapped. “The thing is this, I… we entered the elevator together and after a few minutes, he stretched his hand to take his phone and his hand pressed my butt cheek.” I said in a whisper.
“What?” I could hear Elena chuckling from her hand.
“Don’t tell me you find it funny?” I snapped as I rolled my eyes. “One of the staff saw it and right now, he is staring at me. Does he take me for some cheap slut?” I frowned at him this time around as he looked away, focusing on his work desk.
“Ohh! Guess you are a bit embarrassed. Why don’t you approach him? Tell him you are not some cheap slut, and break his nose.” Elena scoffed.
“You know what!? For real, you are really a killjoy.” I snapped as I booted my system.
“And then, you won’t believe what his wallpaper is.”
“Who? The staff?”
“Ewww, what business do I have with the staff? Have you ever seen the staff? Looks like a grandpa.” I scowled.
“I’m talking about Clark. When he unlocked his phone, I saw his beautiful body, damn!!” I winced.
“You have to see how beautiful he looked and right now, I’m also imagining how beautiful Rex is.” I muttered.
Yes, if I was drooling, I was confidently doing that. Who wouldn’t drool for him? But then, I couldn’t let him see me like some cheap lady who desperately wanted him.
“Hmm. That’s strange. I guess within the years, a lot has changed, from the Aesthetic Clark to a nude Clark.” She scoffed.
I quickly turned off the phone the moment I perceived that familiar scent again.
I lifted up my eyes gently as I saw his fingers, wrapped and they rested on my work desk.
“Good morning, Sir.” I jolted up as I greeted him, and my table calendar fell off to where he stood.
“F*ck!! How much more embarrassment do I have to face just for one day? Isn’t the elevator enough already?” I shrugged as I forced out a smile.
He picked up the calendar as he handed it over to me. “I heard you are new to the finance department?”
“Yes, Sir. I am.” I responded as I looked at him.
“Okay then. From now, you will answer directly to me. I am the head of the finance department.” He said in a husky voice as he looked at me.
“Huh? Answer directly to him?” I gasped out as I looked at him, still in shock.
