KIMBERLY'S POV
Christmas in the year. Few days to Christmas and Bedford has already been packed with snow. The chilly and snowy weather has been quite harsh on everyone. Traffic has been making life tiring. Waking up by 4 a.m., just to get to work on time is really getting to me. There was even a day I had to park my car at Westminister's road and hike all the way to the company. Seeing Mark made my morning worst that day.
"Kimberly, wait up." The idiot was going to make me more angrier than I already am. Instead of slowing down, I hasten my steps. A sturdy and strong hand held my hand as I was about to push the entrance door open.
"How was your night Kim? And I hope you're loving the Christmas ambiance because I love Christmas which brings along the snow." I rolled me eyes at him which I know he saw but still has that stupid smile on his face. He just had to open his mouth, I thought.
"And since when did we become friends? You can love or hate Christmas for all I care, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but for your information, I HATE CHRISTMAS. GOT IT?"
I screamed and regretted it instantly because I realized that we're still outside, people will start thinking we're having a lovers quarrel which I don't want. I quickly check in my voice.
"Leave me the hell alone and it's Miss Grant to you".
I hope he does because he brings out the feelings I've long buried and will Never Ever be found. It's best I stay away.
Thinking he got the message, I turned to go in but he held me back.
"I've always known there's a spitfire lying in there, you never cease to amaze me. I love how your amber eyes flares up when you are pissed and how your chest moves up and down when you're trying to deny the attraction between us by pushing me away, but I want to give up, you'll be mine and Miss grant is too formal between us babe" He said with much seriousness I've ever seen on him.
I can't stop my heart from beating profusely after his confession. I was mesmerized once again by the set of grey eyes staring down at me with a chiseled jaw and a well structured body covered by the business suit he had on.
"Baby, you can't win with me. I'll win over that heart of yours and fill them up with love for me." He said cockily.
I don't know where it came from but I just felt my mouth moving "I'll like to see you try." I replied cockily though I was feeling anything but cockiness inside.
"What's your position in this company?" I realised I didn't know. For the first time since I've had the misfortune of knowing him, he was caught off guard, which brought a smile to my face, but replied nonetheless
"I'm the Head of security." He said with pride which made the smile on my face fall. I thought I had won earlier. The twinkle in his eyes told me he knew exactly what I was thinking.
I don't know why but I was rest assured since he didn't hold a really important position in the company, not that being a security guy is not important but I don't want to be the centre of attraction. I'm the former and present CEO's secretary, the most paid Secretary in the company. The former CEO was Mr Bokyo Albion who retired 3 months ago and the present no-show-face CEO whose name I don't know apart from Albion and that's because I heard people talking about it when I went down to the cafeteria for lunch. The company has increased three times its net worth since the no-face CEO got there. I only communicate with him through mail and vice versa.
"Hey, don't zone out on me." I had Mark, no I mean Mr Mark, saying, "there's a movie premiere today at the Bone Mirage and I have two tickets with no one to go with, so will you do me the honour 'he curtised making me laugh for the first time today because he looked weird doing it' of going there with me?" He asked.
Even when my head was saying NO, my mind and heart were screaming YES, so I agreed. The smile that broke out on his face warmed my heart.
"See you in the evening,Miss Grant. I'll have love to wait but I'm due for resumption." he said with a smile on his face which told me he was teasing me which I replied with a smile I didn't know I was capable of.
"We won't want no-face to see us here." I said. He looked puzzled.
"Who's no-face?" he asked.
"The CEO."
The next thing he did was unexpected. he laughed so hard that tears were streaming down his face.
I was so angry. As I was about to leave, he held me back and apologized immediately.
"I'm so sorry for reacting like that. The name you gave me-- our boss I mean is funny." He said with laughter in his eyes.
Before I could tell him I wasn't the one, he looked at his watch which is a limited edition and frowned. I didn't even see it earlier.
'That's because you were fantasizing about him.'
'I wasn't.'
How can I be arguing with myself
"I'll pick you up at the basement by 6 p.m." he said and walked off.
Throughout that day, I was so happy. At 5:30 p.m., I quickly use to no-face private bathroom since he wasn't around to change to the spare clothes I had nearly folded in my drawers.
On getting to the basement, I saw him looking dashing and refreshed. I guess I wasn't the only one who felt the need to look nice.
"I thought you decided not to show up again." he said nervously. Checking my phone I realised it was 6:05 already.
"I'm sorry. I had to use no-face restroom which I hope he never gets to know and did some female stuffs." "I know." he replied. His voice now back to the arroganct one I know. "Let's go, we won't want to be late."
