And sometimes we feed our souls madness and cold so it can fit in this world

He could have sworn that her eyes almost glistened before blinking again, her long lashes closing like a curtain and looking peaceful for a quarter of a second .
"I don't think Amelia said you were coming " he smiled softly still maintaining his stern voice but he couldn't . How could he when she was in front of him flesh and bones.
"Even your secretary looks dirty like you " she spat through gritted teeth .
He raised an eyebrow, " maybe now you're crossing your limits " . He got up from his chair and removed her hands off his desk, keeping a hold of them . He liked how soft they were, how they fit in his perfectly and mostly how warm they were . The feeling lasted only a second before she instantly pulled away.
"Don't touch me !"
He smirked before replying "But I want to ". He watched her facial expressions jumble a bit before becoming stable again. He saw her fiddle with a gold locket hung around her neck which he couldn't quite see what it was .
She looked at him through her lashes and sat on the leather chair next to her . She calmly spoke," Mr.Kings just drew out of our board and guess under who he works now ? You! I know you have a hand in this . Why are doing all this ?! "
He cleared his throat before speaking "He just realized that our place provides him better opportunities and you know ...better bosses "
Her eyes shut for a short time as if trying to control her overflowing emotions "No, you just didn't ! "
He crossed his arms and watched her getting more provoked and angered . And how pretty she was.
"Don't take it personally. You know it's okay if you aren't the best boss around, you know, I could offer you guiding."
She clutched at her dress tightly. He was doing good in making her feel insecure but she just couldn't let it show.
He smiled slightly seeing her confused and without an answer "What's wrong, sweetheart ? Lawyers normally aren't quiet "
"From now on you're playing my game, McClain " . She grabbed her handbag and rushed out of the door . That man drove her crazy and oh she was going to make him forget his own name.
"And finally we have the Grayson's charity ball " Sean finished writing and marking timings in his agenda before looking back at June.
She was silent since her arrival and it irritated him. "What's wrong ?"
June looked up before shaking her head. " Nothing too important. When's the ball ? "
"Thursday"
"Call Alex an-"
Sean shook his head, " I already did and he is going with Camilla so he won't be accompanying you this time "
June stood up from her seat "But he always does! Every year !"
Sean shrugged, "All the fine men are booked, maybe you should just cancel everything out ". His eyes roamed her face trying to find any sort of expression but she remained blank . He asked, "What will you do?"
June crossed her arms, "I am not going, I can't risk letting Olivia think nobody wanted to come with me to the ball "
"Well, somehow it is your fault too . You never let anyone get close enough to ask you " he said while placing a bunch of files on her desk .
She moved her gaze to the floor, "I want Alex "
Sean shook his head, " June"
"I want him!"
Sean blinked, repeatedly nodding to her, "I'll call him again and see what I can do" . Those situations were normal and because Sean was the one who could handle her ever changing moods he got the job. It was crucial to able to cope with June's mood swings before anyone was hired into the firm besides knowledge in variety of other fields because she never relied on one source of income. What she wanted she got and Alex wouldn't hesitate to obey that was for sure .
June picked up a file from the pile and opened it. There was the picture of Lydia at the corner of the page along with information about her . She narrowed her eyes at the sight of her rival.
"I mean from where did you get the guts to think that you can compete with me ?"
June held the file close to her chest and went straight up to Jenna's office. She smiled as she saw her friend in sight. Jenna nodded and went to close the wooden blinds . June made herself comfortable while Jenna crossed her arms.
"Are you still angry ?" Jenna asked as she sat opposite to her .
June raised an eyebrow." You know, Jen, the problem with me is that I hold grudges and for too long " . She lightly scratched the leather material with her long nails . "But if she steps down she may have a choice in living some more years in New York."
"Maybe she had nothing to do with it " Jenna spoke .
"And maybe she had everything to do it. She was the only one who knew about my future plans and it was my fault that I trusted her . I should've known better. She always wanted what I had and she is threatening my growth." She paused .
"I should end her before she ends me "
