Chapter 20 - The Horrific Encounter

DAVID?

Lilly mentally yelled his name seeing the wild seen infront of her. Yes! She was upset that her friend didn't tell her about this thang but she still understood that Honey also had her own reasons to hide it.

Slowly everything made sense to her. Jordan teased David about none other her own best friend Honey Jersey on the day David caught them kissing. *So Jordan knew about them all these time? But why didn't he tell me?* She huffed in annoyance and shooed off her thoughts.

Shifting back her attention onto the performance going on infront her, she folded her hands and leaned towards the door while glaring at the sight, waiting for them to stop making out. But seeing no signs of them stopping any soon she spoke "Ewwwww! What are you guys doing?" She copied David's words, pointing her fingers with a disgusted face, imitating exactly how David had done it before.

They instantly parted away as soon they heard Lilly's voice and were shocked to see her at the door with hands placed on her hips with 'You better explain this' look on her face.

Honey quickly sprinted towards Lilly, dragged her inside and closed the door shut in a hurry as if she didn't want anybody to notice what was going on in there! Lilly was blurred by her actions.

"I'll explain everything" Honey held Lilly's hands and assured for which Lilly just nodded in agreement.

Honey explained how she was in a relationship with David since the beginning but had to keep it as a secret.

"You should have told me! Its not like I would go against it!" Lilly informed while pouting as if she was upset.

Honey picnhed her cheeks while giggling "I know, I'm sorry but When did you even learn to act cute? Is it for Jordan?" Honey teased wiggling her eyebrows while David chuckled at the scene infront of him.

Honey was welcomed with Lilly's glare. "Yeah she really got close with Jordan "David informed.

Lilly's glare shifted onto David as if his statement was like adding fuel to the burning fire. Anyhow she shrugged it off by rolling her eyes.

"Aey! Really?" Honey started teasing again with a playfull tone which made Lilly to scoff at her.

"Look who caught who and who is teasing who?"

Honey nervously laughed out of embarrassment realising what she exactly meant and changed the topic to not drag it any further "Then how is everything going with Jordan?"

"Everything is going on just like the way it should!!!"

David cleared his throat "Ok girls, I need to go, see you later!" David left not forgetting to mouth a kiss towards Honey.

"DUH! Common! You just made out, take some break already!" Lilly snorted while David laughed out his way shaking his head at her comeback.

(Next Day)

Jordan was silently driving while he stole a few glances at Lilly who was now gazing out, busy in her thoughts. It brought the memories of the day he first met her which resulted in his lips curling into a smile just by the thoughts of her.

"What? Are you thinking about me?" He smirked, trying to teasing her.

She leaned her head back on the seat while intensely staring at him. "Yeah offcourse! Its always you!"

He was taken back to hear that coming from her. "Really? Then What were you thinking about me?" He playfully asked.

"Its a secret" She wisphered.

"Its ok! You can tell me coz I don't mind even if its something wild" he winked.

She chuckled while shaking her head "If I tell you then it isn't called a secret anymore"

He pouted on hearing her.

.

"Ok then! See you Mr.Jordan" Lilly stated as she was about to enter the other corridor which leads to her workplace.

But Jordan instantly stopped Lilly, not letting her walk any further which confused her "Where do you think you are going?" He questioned.

"My place is that way Mr.Jordan" she stated with a duh! tone.

Arcing his brows he spoke "I thought you wanted to be my personal assistant"

Lilly was shocked to hear that, Yes! she indeed suggested him to make her his personal assistant not only for fun but she never expected it to really happen, well atleast not this fast! She couldn't digest the fact that it was happening for real so to make sure she questioned again "You are not kidding right?"

Suddenly Jordan's blank look was replaced by an innocent one "Oh I thought kidding was after our marriage *blinks few times* but I don't mind doing it now if you want me to!" He smirked and dragged her into his office giving no time for her to escape while Lilly's cheeks turned bright pink as she was blushing so hard at his words.

"So from today you'll be my personal assis- oh my! Are you blushing? Look at your cheeks! Ayee" He noticed her heated up cheeks and found it so appealing. He cupped her cheeks, pecked them. "You are such a cute little thing aren't you?" He chuckled and hugged her. She hid her face out of shyness that took over.

But soon she pushed him away as soon as they hear knocks on the office's door and Mr.Kim walked in. His gaze gradually shifted from Jordan to Lilly, wondering why she was there in Jordan's office at this time.

Mr.Kim greeted both Jordan and Lilly.

"Oh Mr.Kim you're here, Lilly will be my personal assistant from today so guide her with the work" Jordan stated.

Mr.Kim was astound about Lilly being the personal assistant, not gonna lie he surely felt uneasy for making some new girl the assistant. "Sir but-"

"I don't take no as an answer Mr.Kim" Jordan instantly declared for which Mr.kim bent his head a little low and just nodded out of silence.

"I'm here to remind you that you have a business party to attend tonight Mr.Jordan" Mr.kim informed earning a simple nod from him.

"Can I also go to the party with you" she asked hoping for him to agree.

"NO" He carelessly replied.

"But why?" She whined out of disappointment.

Seeing her upset he tried to convince her because he didn't want her think as if he was avoiding the world from knowing about their relationship "You know that it isn't safe right? Try to understand Lilly"

Being stubborn she didn't listen to him "Please, I promise that I'll stay by your side" she tried not giving up.

Jordan sighed out of defeat and mumbled "Be careful ok?" As soon as she heard it her face lit up with excitement.

.

.

It was getting dark already, Jordan looked breathtaking with a black tux with a bow and his hair was pushed back revealing his forehead.

He was waiting for Lilly to come but before that His phone rang, he picked the call and was busy talking to the other person walking back and forth. When he was busy with the call, a figure getting down the stairs caught his attention. He stopped dead in his tracks astonished by her beauty, he stared at het not giving a shit about his sorroundings or the call he was on.

She wore a long sparkling dress with a slit on the left side revealing her toned leg. Eventhough her dress didn't show much of skin she still looked hot. Her dress was a combination of descence and sexy.

"Hello? Hello?" The other person on his phone spoke.

"I'll call you later" Was all he said before ending the call, still not taking his eyes off her.

"Wow you look -" He stopped eyeing every inch of her seeing how gorgeous she looked. Lilly got down the stairs and stood infront of him expecting him to continue his sentence.

"You look-" He stopped again in the middle unknowingly as he admired her breathtaking features while she eagerly waited for his compliment .

"You. Look ... DELICIOUS?" Even he himself wasn't sure what he just uttered because he was too lost in her.

She chuckled "What kind of compliment is that?"

He held her waist and pulled her close, tucking the hair behind her ears "It isn't a compliment, its hunger mon amour" he whisphered while his breath fanned onto her lips.

His words sent shiver down her spine. She felt a knot in her stomach, the heat was slowly building up inside without her consent. He never fails to make her feel such magical things which she never felt before. Never had she ever thought in her whole life that she would see this side of him and she liked it!!

(At the party)

The bussiness party was held in a lavish mansion on the outskirts of the main city. In the sky, the moon provided a natural disco ball and lighting into the house which held the main event. Greetings were offered out along the gravel path, dainty fairy lights added a surplus amount of colour to the parade of footsteps. Many famous faces recognized Jordan and greeted him, also not forgetting to ask about Lilly because he wasn't the kind of person to bring girls to the parties. It was this moment that Lilly realised how successful Jordan was at such a young age in the business industry. She felt kinda proud of him.

Jordan was busy talking to other businessman while she just stood awkwardly not knowing what to do so she excused herself to go use the washroom .

Jordan tightened his grip around her waist warning her with his eyes to not leave his side. "Don't worry, I'll be fine" she whispered and left before he could even reply. He couldn't directly warn her because there were businessmen infront him and their complete attention was on the couple.

He stealed some looks at the direction where she was going, while he was still talking to others.

Its already been a few minutes but noticing her not returning grew him tense. So he wandered his eyes searching for her, but something caught his attention. There were these strange men who were walking towards the women's restroom. His brows twitched. He was about to follow them but!

"Mr.Jordan Dean, meet these businessman from Dubai. They are eager to discuss about expanding your company to Dubai markets" one of them stated.

Jordan had no choice but to stay a little longer because they were officials and he couldn't just walk away on them. "Nice to meet you" Jordan offered his hands with an unsure smile.

Their discussion continued for a few minutes, Jordan was getting more and more tensed by every minute that passed. Finally he excused himself and walked in a hurry towards the women's restroom.

He knocked on the door incase if anybody other than Lilly was inside "Anybody in there? Lilly?" But there was no answer from the otherside.

He couldn't wait any longer so he kicked the door and stepped in to go rigid in his spot. He was terrorised to see the scene infront of him.

The four men he observed back then were now lying on the floor DEAD!!

There was a click sound as one of the restrooms door opened. Lilly walked out and her breath hitched while covering her mouth out of shock!

"OH MY GOD! WHO KILLED THEM?"
