"Smells so good?" Cassandra was surprised to hear Eric's words. Cassandra's cheeks immediately turned red.
"From tomorrow don't wear those Parfums anymore! The fragrance attracted the attention of a perverted man."
Suddenly Cassandra's blood boiled. Regretted because she had adored the kindness of Eric' heart. Her heart seemed to be held high and then dropped down until it was broken into pieces.
Without saying a word, Cassandra exited the room clenching her hands holding back in anger.
"What the hell a man with a poisonous mouth!" Cassandra grumbling.
Inside the room, Eric smiled, recalling Cassandra's red face being extinguished in anger. "What a silly woman."
"What happened?" Sally asked.
"Your good boss always has a mouth for me to be hypertensive. How can I survive to work here?" Cassandra took a deep breath.
"Be patient, things will go well, trust me." Sally patted Cassandra on the back.
"I don't think so."
"But I'm surprised, only this time Mr. Williams can talk a lot with his employees. Usually he is very stingy when he talks. Maybe he likes you, Casey."
"Impossible!"
"Don't deny, remember that hate and love are separated by a thin layer." Sally laughed.
"Stop talking nonsense, or he will fire you."
"All right, let's continue."
***
One week later.
Cassandra has started working alone while Sally has returned to the finance division to do her old job. She was used to Eric's mouth which always made her hypertensive.
"Miss Mckenzie, today you have to replaced John to accompany me to meet clients at the Oricon hotel. Get ready for another hour to go."
"What documents should I bring, sir?"
"Casino building document in Las Vegas."
"Well, I understand!"
"Heem." Eric passed away.
"For today don't tie your hair and this perfume I bought for you, the fresh smell is inconspicuous, use it!" Eric put a famous brand of perfume on Cassandra's desk.
"Remember your hair!"
"Yes, sir."
***
One hour later.
Eric and Cassandra were in the same car. They will attend meet-ups with clients.
"Remember, don't get away from me, there are a lot of ignorant men who like to tease women."
"Yes sir, I know."
Eric Driver smiled in knots. During his time as Eric's personal driver, he first heard Eric talk and worried about others.
"By the way, the perfume you've already worn?" Eric snuffed Cassandra's body.
Cassandra held her breath as Eric leaned over to leave the perfume she sprayed on her body.
"Y-yeah." Cassandra stuttered.
"Good," Eric smiled.
Cassandra's heart beat skipped very fast when she flashed a smile from Eric's thin lips. His cold boss looked very handsome behind his thick glasses.
"What's wrong?" Eric looked up.
"N-nothing." Cassandra fixed her seat while exhaling.' Oh God, help me.'
After arriving at the Oricon hotel Eric was immediately picked up by one of the hotel staff.
Miss Mckenzie remembers not to be separated!"
"Yes sir."
Getting into a crowded elevator makes Cassandra sandwiched among the hotel's visitors.
Eric, who saw Cassandra's whereabouts, instantly pulled her. Cassandra is now in Eric's confinement.
Eric's warm breath right hit Cassandra's head. Cassandra held her chest. She felt her heart start to go crazy. The smell of perfume from Eric's body smelled very masculine.
When someone was about to get out of the elevator and hit Eric's back, Eric's chest collided with Cassandra's face.
"Ouch," Cassandra complained.
"Are you alright?"
Cassandra looked up at his face as Eric stared down. Their gaze met, Cassandra's face began to redden, she bit her lower lip.
"I-Im fine."
Eric looked at Cassandra's sexy lips. His body feels hot. He wondered, he hated women with sexy looks but why every time close to Cassandra, he liked losing his identity.
Eric's face slowly lowered.
Cassandra is getting more and more nervous. Her body began to tremble.
The sound of the open clink of the elevator made Eric aware, he then straightened his face and said. "Let's go Miss Mckenzie!" Eric walked out of the elevator.
"Yes sir."Cassandra held her chest. Finally she was breathing with relief. She walked behind Eric while looking at Eric's back. Eric has a strong and tall posture. Maybe if he does not wear a work suit it will look athletic.
They arrived in a pretty big room. A long table with a neat arrangement of chairs is equipped with a projector at the end of the table.
"Prepare a document containing the casino design from our designer team. Soon the bidding will begin." Whisper Eric.
"Yes sir." Cassandra is very enthusiastic, this is the first time she will see the bid auction process,of course she wants to see Eric's ability to fight for it.
After all the invited guests have arrived. The bidding process begins. Each company began collecting images of their designs.
The committee began calling one by one company representatives to present their design drawings.
It was Eric's turn to advance to the front of the projector, Cassandra looked at Eric fixedly. Eric looks elegant and authoritative; he speaks with firm and detailed. His face looks very attractive. Casandra immediately blushed, embarrassed to remember the incident in the elevator earlier.
"Miss Mckenzie!"
Cassandra who was engrossed in daydreaming was unaware of Eric's presence beside her.
"S-sir," Cassandra sputtered.
"What are you thinking? I brought you here to work, not to daydream!"
Again Eric broke Cassandra's heart. The impression of admiration for him turned into anger because of his sharp tongue when he speaking.
"Sorry sir, I'm going to pay attention to my work."
"Hmm." Eric sat back down with a serious facial expression.
Furthermore, the committee announced that there are two companies that will be considered to win the bidding. The companies are Williams Corp. and Max Corp. Max Corp. is a longtime rival of Williams Corp. Since Eric's father was young, both companies competed to occupy the top one construction company in the USA.
"Let's get out!" Eric pulled Cassandra's hand.
"Sir!"
"Hmm."
"Good luck, may our company be chosen."
Eric was silent and still grasped Cassandra's palm.
Cassandra's heart began to erratic. The annoyance towards Eric just evaporated.
"Hello Mr. Williams, how are you?" A handsome man wearing an expensive suit like Eric came to say hello.
"I'm fine, Mr. Max." Eric replied briefly.
"Wow, I didn't think you had a girlfriend now. I thought you were gay because until you were thirty years old you never had any relationships with a woman." Maxim mocks Eric.
Maxim pointed at Eric's hand grasping Cassandra's hand.
"Anything wrong?" Eric didn't like how Maxim looked towards Cassandra.
"Give her to me for one night, then I'll give up on this project."
"Dream on!" Eric said firmly. "Who said I was going to lose. I'm sure I'll get this project."
"All right, don't blame me if you lose. And for that Latin girl I'm going to try to get it. Before I can sleep with her, I won't give up." Max sneered and left.
"Don't worry I won't allow him to touch you." Eric whispers toward Cassandra.
"Sir, have you forgotten, I can defend myself. I saved you the other day at the bank,"Cassandra replied.
Suddenly Eric's face became gloomy. He took cassandra's hand off and put his hand into his pocket.
Cassandra was happy to be able to reply to Eric's sharp tongue that had been bothering her.
"Sir!" Cassandra Call Eric.
"Thank you for saving my life."
"Don't mind it. You've also helped me a lot."
Silence ensued between them. Until the sound of the door opens. The committee calls Eric and Maxim.
"Let's go in." Eric led Cassandra into the room.
Arriving in the room. Eric hugged Cassandra from the side.
"Sir!"
Eric pointed at Maxim with his eyes.
"Oh," Cassandra hugged Eric back.
"What are you doing?" Eric whispered to Cassandra.
"Just pretend." Cassandra whispered.
Actually, her heart is not okay. It was the first time he had hugged an adult man.
Eric then lands a kiss on Cassandra's head.
For a moment Cassandra's body stiffened.
"Relax."
Cassandra nodded.
After waiting for a while, the committee announced the winner of the bidding was Williams Corp.
Cassandra jumped up and kissed Eric on the cheek.
Eric stared intently at Cassandra.
"Congratulations sir."
"Hmmm Eric's lips are attracted sideways to form a straight line. Eric smiled.
On the other hand Maxim gripped the chair that was in front of him in anger. He immediately came out of the room and called someone.
Let's go back to the office. We celebrate this success with the team.
"Okay sir." Cassandra followed in Eric's footsteps from behind.
Arriving at the basement of the hotel, Eric called his driver because he could not find his whereabouts.
"Where is he?
Something wrong, sir?"
He's not usually like this." Eric looked to the right and to the left.
"Ouch," Eric's body fell to the ground.
"Sir," Cassandra tried to wake Eric up.
"Who are you?" Help--" Cassandra fainted next to Eric after someone hit the nape of her neck.
