Chereads / His Only Love / Chapter 22 - Nervous

Chapter 22 - Nervous

The word that 'you are my favourite assistant' kept on replaying itself as she stared at the window. She was sitting beside him in the car. His eyes were glued on her the entire time. He was making her feel uncomfortable yet again with his stares. She was delighted that he had given her fancy clothes. But at the same time, she was anxious cause he was staring at her. At that moment she wished that she had the power to read minds. Maybe she could connect her mind with his so that she could know what he was thinking of. As she turned to glance at him, a voluntary grin appeared on his face.

Goosebumps covered her whole body as her eyes were locked with his. She didn't know what she was supposed to do or tell him. She turned her head and continued to stare outside the window.

He chuckled softly as she stared at the window. He saw that she was shy and she couldn't face him like she ought to. "Cat", he called her. He didn't refer to her as Miss Catina like how he loves calling her. She knew that he wasn't going to tell her an official matter. Her hands started to tremble as her heart started to pound faster. But she had to pretend that she wasn't nervous. She held her hand which was trembling tightly with the other hand. She didn't want him to notice that she was super shy around him. He loved this side of her, the shy type in her.

"Yes Shawn", She turned her head and stared at him. This time she didn't turn back like the other time. She stared at him like how he wanted her to stare at her.

"Are you afraid of me...?" this was the question that she hoped he would never ask. But he was being Shawn, he didn't fear asking anything or commenting how he felt.

"Of course no", she replied hastily. She couldn't agree that he was making her nervous each time he stared at her. She had to deny it so that he could believe her. She didn't want him to have a reason to make fun of her. All she wanted was to show him that he wasn't making her nervous.

"Okay that's good", And just like that, he didn't talk further. She thought that he would start to flatter her but he didn't. He turned and started staring outside the window. Her heartbeat slowed down as he didn't focus on the matter. She was delighted that he didn't ask her more questions. Even though she wished she knew what he was thinking about, she was glad that he understood her. Silence reigned as they stared at the window.

"Thank you", she mentioned as she highlighted the car. This was the second time that he was bringing her home. At first, she didn't want him to take her home. But he insisted that he wanted to take her home. After she discovered that he liked her and he wasn't hiding it like before. She couldn't stop herself from worrying over what would happen in the future. She didn't want to leave the job soon cause of his flirty nature. She hoped that he would stop persuading her after he realises that she wasn't interested in him. As she was heading to her house, she was recalling the way he stared at her while she was trying the clothes. He didn't hide that he liked her so much. She stood in front of her house and opened it. Brianna was sitting at her bed while watching TV.

"Aha Miss Catina you are finally back", she mentioned. Her eyes widened as she stared at the shopping bags, Cat was carrying.

"Yea I am...", Cat placed the shopping bags on her bed. Afterwards, she laid on the bed as she sighed heavily. He was making her nervous again cause of how he was treating her. She didn't expect that he would take her home again. Even though she was his assistant, Cat knew that he wanted something more from her than her services as his assistant.

Brianna stood and headed towards where Cat was sitting. She took one of the bags and removed the clothes that were inside. She was left in awe as she stared at the outfits. They were so elegant and sophisticated. She found it hard to believe that her friend bought all those outfits.

"Wow these are so fancy where did you get the money to buy all these clothes", Brianna raised the obvious question.

"I told you that Shawn said he will give me some clothes. These are the clothes he was talking about", Cat informed her. She was grateful to Shawn cause the clothes were so fancy and elegant. Catina knew that she couldn't afford to buy the clothes for now. But since her boss owned a fashion line. She had to look sophisticated and elegant like how he wanted her to look.

Brianna's eyes widened after Cat informed her that it was Shawn who gave her the clothes. She had forgotten that Cat informed her that Shawn promised her some clothes. She took another bag and removed the clothes that were inside.

"Whooaahh this is so fancy...", she picked the same dress that Shawn liked when she wore it.

"Girl you will be lending me some clothes here", Brianna mentioned. She was amazed by the clothes that Cat was given by her boss.

"Of course I will", Cat agreed. She knew that Brianna would ask her that. They were very close friends and they shared a lot. Even though Cat didn't tell her who she really is. She regarded her as her best friend cause they spent most of their free time together.

"Thank you so much", Brianna was delighted that Cat accepted to be lending her the clothes at times.

"I really love them. Are you the one who picked these clothes", Brianna asked her. She knew that Cat wasn't into fashion like her. All of Cat's clothes were simple. She wondered how she was able to choose the fancy outfits.

"No it was Shawn", Cat informed her. Brianna's eyes widened as her jaws dropped. She couldn't believe that it was Shawn who selected the clothes for her.
