Chereads / Through His Touch / Chapter 29 - You are too sensitive

Chapter 29 - You are too sensitive

Inside the other room, Phoenix wasn't feeling any better. She felt embarrassed to be found in that position. She was still seated on top of the table with her face resting against the man's chest.

" What's the time?" She asked still in his embrace.

Jade glanced at the computer screen before telling her. It was time to knock off. She had spent the previous hour flirting around and being lovey dovey instead of finishing her work as she had planned. There was no one to blame as she was the one who approached him first. 

She lifted up her head as she stared at his face. He too stared back at her, stroking her face. 

" You are now mine and am yours. You are my Butterfly Phoenix. Let's go remember you still have to treat me to a meal. Nah, since I came to pick you up I shall treat you instead on our first date."

Jade helped her pack her stuff into her tote bag and picked it up as he guided her by the hand towards the door. This was a new experience for Phoenix. She gawked at his side profile. She had loved before but never received such treatment. 

Jade turned to smile at her seeing that she was still in a daze. Only he knew that the main reason for coming here was not to ask her out for dinner but to meet the woman who enchanted the blind him. He never expected that what would follow would be their confessions.

In fact Jade had fallen for Phoenix a long time ago but never thought that she had caught feelings for him too. That was the reason why he kept his feelings to himself and didn't want to tell her but she was quicker that he predicted.

Passing by the lounge room, her heart skipped when she remembered that Emma had seen them kissing. Sweat formed on her palms and Jade felt that too. He tightened his hold on her hand as he rubbed it's back using his thumb. 

Laughter could be heard from within which further added to Phoenix's nervousness. She was never the type to display her love in public and right now she wanted to run and hide.

" Nervous?" 

She smiled stiffly as she lowered her gaze to their interwoven hands. " It's my first time so I don't know what to expect. I have never did this in public."

He chotled as he eyed her. " Have you dated before?"

She sniggered at him. " Of course I have. Why would you ask such a stupid question." She pressed on the elevator buttons, saying those words.

Jade laughed as he leaned towards her ear. He blew hot air making her tremble. " You are too sensitive my love, it appears as if you have never dated before that's why I asked. And that is not stupid seeing how your body is reacting." He further leaned in as he bit her earlobe. "Don't worry we still have plenty of time together. You will get used to it." 

What these two didn't know was that the group that was on the lounge area moments ago was now behind them. Their eyes popped out of their sockets as their ears reddened as they watched the displayed in front.

What did they just see? Emma was the first one to speak after the couple went away. " Did you see that? Exactly a replica of what happened inside but this is just a trailer. Now nobody say that I have a spiritual calling cause you also saw them unless we all have that calling." She laughed as she enjoyed seeing their shocked faces.

" Wow, my God!!! Boss seems to be so in love. I too want to meet someone to pamper me like that. Did you see that he was carrying her handbag. Ohhwwww am boss's fan starting from today." Squealed Lily hugging her bag closer to her chest.

Bellow looked at her in disdain. She ignored his gaze as if he wasn't there. " Don't tell me that you would cheat on your husband because of a bag. Just because you want a man to carry your handbag. I feel sorry for your husband." 

" Shut up!!! Who would cheat because of a bag? I love my hubby okay." She hit him with her handbag as she yelled.
