"Rehor! Happy seeing you, it has been a long time since I met you." The redhead chirped, there was a taunting smile on her face. She must be Ms. Knight, I thought to myself. I scanned the room for Arsenio and he was standing at the far corner to my right. There were also two other bodyguards in the room. They all were standing so close to the wall as if, they were the shadows.
Arsenio's gaze shifted to me and he looked taken aback by my presence. Well, that was expected, I never told him about my job or anything about me, for a matter of fact. He scanned my entire body up and down which made my body, left tingling.
He raised his eyebrows at me as if, he was questioning 'So this was why you were purchasing men's clothes ' I shrugged my shoulders at him and concentrated on my boss who was busy grinding his teeth.
I was grateful that Arsenio didn't approach me. There were only seven people in this room. My boss and I on one hand, on the other hand, stood, Ms. Knight, a girl my age that resemble Ms. Knight, and their three bodyguards. That girl must be her younger sister, I heard from the media that she was spoiled rotten but I couldn't assume things without knowing the person.
"Where was my file?" my boss gritted out with his crucially composed tone. His hands were fisted and his knuckled looked pale, the veins in his arms and forehead were protruding. His pitch-black eyes turned much darker.
And I could see that it bleeds into the white of his eyes as if, it was even possible. I looked at him in awe, and shook my head, and blinked my eyes to clear my vision. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, opening his eyes again, they looked normal now. Maybe, I imagined that part. His expression promised ruinous.
"What file are you talking about?" she feigned ignorance; I really admire this woman for standing against this dangerous man without a single trace of fright.
She took a seat and disregarded his question. Ms. Knight was not looking at his face. She was oblivious to the peril and examined her nails while her sister snickered beside her and started scrolling through her phone.
Even I was mad at their behavior. Mr. Jedrick looked cool as a cucumber, it was a total contrast to how he reacted earlier but there was a storm brewing in his eyes.
"Look, Jedick, if you date Candice, I will give up on this tender that you're distressing about." Ms. Knight pointed at her sister, Candice who was looking shy all of a sudden. She looked at my boss from beneath her lashes.
I felt like puking my guts out. Why was I still alive?
From the look on Candice's face, she looked obsessed with my boss. I never saw him with a woman or heard any gossip about his dating life.
"Very well," he muttered audibly and took a seat, gracefully crossing his one leg over the other leg. He interweaved his long fingers and rested his chin on top of it. His elbows were resting on his table. He looked bored. I stood beside his chair, holding the documents related to this meeting. The ambiance was tense.
Ms. Knight's smile faltered as soon as she saw his expression. Was he scheming something? Suddenly her phone rang, everyone's gaze shifted to her. She picked up her phone, glaring at my boss. He looked impervious by her measly glare.
There was slight murmuring from the other end as soon as she attended the call. The person on her phone call talked for a second and her eyes widened at the size of a saucer. Her fingers clenched around the device, she was holding.
She stood up and smashed her phone on the floor, making me jump at her sudden outburst.
"You, fucking asshole! You dug your own grave! You will regret what you have done," she yelled at him and stood up from her seat as if her ass caught on fire. Her bodyguards soon stood behind her and they looked alert.
All of a sudden, Arsenio looked intimidating, he looked tense. He didn't even spare me a glance.
The muscle on my boss's cheek twitched but there was no reaction from him. He didn't move from his seat, he gave her a cool look which angered the two sisters further. They tried to storm out of the room without talking about the tender for which the meeting was actually held.
"Miss, we haven't discussed the ten…" I tried to stop them, but the younger blond pushed me away, which made me tumble on my foot and landed on the devil's lap with a yelp. This time my fat ass landed on him which made him jerk straighter on his seat.
On impulse, he wrapped his arms around my waist. My eyes widened, why the hell was I getting landed on his lap? I tried to move but he groaned as if he was in pain.
"Mr. Sandros seize your movement!" he grunted out and his grip on my waist tightened, keeping me in place. I stopped moving and I immediately felt him getting aroused under my derrière.
I could feel his hot breath tickling the nape of my neck. My heart fluttered with trepidation. I turned my head and looked at his face and that was the biggest mistake I had done today. His jaw was clenched, his eyes were dark. He looked like he was in pain and he looked…hungry?
For what? I don't know.
He shook his head and he looked at me with confusion. I got it why he looked confused because he was getting aroused every time I touch him. When you were a hot-blooded man such as Rehor Jedrick and your body kept reacting to a guy's touch such as me, then, of course, you would be confused. But only if you knew that this fat guy right here was actually a girl.
"Mr. Sandros, get off from me!" a voice moaned under me.
"Yes, sir," I tried to get off him but he was growing harder and bigger under me. It felt huge. I gulped down my anxiety.
"Stop it… stop squirming on my lap?" he growled. His face contoured as if, I was torturing him and he was panting as if he ran a marathon.
"B…" my voice was cut off by his palm on my hip. He lifted me off his lap like I weight nothing. I squeaked like a mouse, his hands were so warm and I could feel it through my clothes.
"It seems like, you like to land yourself on me?" his eyes were sharp and obdurate. My face heated up and I could feel my cheeks and ears flush with humiliation.
"Err…it was an accident, sir. I…I apologize, sir." He stood up from his seat and pulled his blazer together and buttoned it. He assessed my appearance, gave me a look of disbelief, and walked out of the room without a word.
Poor guy probably questioning his sexuality, I thought to myself and made my way to my office.
I really didn't know what file was missing. I never witnessed him lose his cool in front of anyone, he looked like a predator when I think back to the scene. A cold shiver ran down to the length of my spine. The file must be really important to him.
I didn't get why he was so desperate to get this tender; it was not like his company was suffering from anything. The man was loaded and not to mention he was running a fucking mafia.
For a man like him, why was he fraught to get his hands on that tender? There was something off about this whole tender issue. I heaved a sigh, already feeling exhausted with today's work. I had to work one more hour after my office hours as a part of my punishment. I felt like pulling my hair out.
***********
It was nine o'clock in the evening and I was totally drained out. The entire floor was silent and I had no idea when he usually leaves his office. I had to stay till ten, and my shoulders were killing me. I literally had to arrange every rack and crook of my office because of a certain someone who brought the storm to my office in search of a single file.
Besides sorting out files and arranging them, I need to do my secretarial job too. How could a person do this much work?
The phone on my desk rang. I heaved a sigh of frustration and picked up the call.
"Hello, Mr. Jed…" I started.
"My office, now!" But, Jedrick's voice cut off me and he ended his call. That arrogant little punk! I cursed him back and forth, mumbling some inherent words under my breath.
