Chapter 7 - Falling for him

"Stop drooling!" Michael grinned, tapping her forehead repeatedly. "I know that you can take your eyes off me."

Yet, Alicia didn't stop drooling. She was deeply lost in his cute face.

"Hey!" He stood in front her, feeling concerned, staring into her eyes looking for any signs of discomfort. "Are you alright?"

"I'm... I'm.... I'm sorry, sir." She apologized, bowing her head countless times.

"Are you alright?" He asked one more time while Alicia stared at him with a shocked look, her mouth opening halfway, trying to talk but nothing came out from her mouth and closed it back.

"Alicia?"

"Yes, I'm fine sir." She responded.

"Okay. You can go back to work." He said, gesturing with his hands. "You need to rest, it seems you're not feeling too well."

"Thank you, sir." Alicia said and left his office and went back to her office.

"Why was he even calling me before? Why does he have to look so hot?" Alicia asked herself, sitting on her chair.

"Am I falling for him?" She said, shaking her head vigorously and smacking her cheeks with her hands continuously. "No, I'm not."

"Alicia, are you okay?" Sarah asked with a concerned look, standing behind her.

Alicia turned to face her, "Hmm?"

"Are you alright?" Sarah sat on her table, dropping the files in her hand on her table.

"Yes, I'm fine." Alicia faked a smile, running her hands through her hair. "I think I need to rest."

She dropped her head on the table.

"Okay. Sorry, dear."

"Thank you."

"Well, CEO said I should give you these files that you should work on it." Sarah explained, pointing at the files she dropped on the table.

"Phews!"

"Or do you need my help?"

Alicia raised her head up, "Oh, no. I can do it myself, thank you."

"Alright." Sarah stood up and strode out of office.

Michael entered Alicia's office and met her sleeping.

"Wake up!" Michael tapped Alicia on her back who was sleeping heavily.

"Sarah, go away!" Alicia muttered, still sleeping.

"It's me, Michael, your boss not Sarah." He said in a cold voice.

"Hmm? Michael??" She sprang up immediately she heard Michael's name, looking frightened.

He placed his hands on her back, "Calm down."

"Hmm?" She stylishly removed his hands from her back.

"Are you scared of me?" He asked, wondering why she looked so frightened when she heard his name.

"No, I'm not." She replied quickly.

He remained silent, staring at her.

"Sir?" Alicia traced his eyes to her chest, she had unbottoned her shirt when she was about to sleep. "I'm sorry, sir." She buttoned it up quickly.

"We're going home together." He announced, walking out of the office while she followed him with her bags in her hand.

"But why?" She asked.

"Have you forgotten that you promised to be my maid? So, we are both going to your house to pack your luggages." He explained, entering his car and she did too.

"Ohhhh..." She paused and silence took over in the car.

He stole a glance at her and zoomed off.

When they got to her house, they alighted, walking towards the door.

"Felicia!!" She called, opening the door since Felicia didn't lock it. "I'm home!"

"Come in." She said to Michael, who was standing behind her like a statue.

"Babe." Felicia called, running to hug Alicia not noticing Michael's presence.

"How was work today?" She asked, still hugging Alicia tightly

"It was fine."Alicia answered, trying to break the hug.

Felicia turned around to see Michael staring at her which made her to scream, "Ahhhh!"

Michael laughed at her sudden behavior, "Felicia!"

"It's not funny!" Felicia rolled her eyes.

"Hey, Felicia!" Michael said in a melodious voice

"Michael!" Felicia called, playing with her fingers repeatedly.

"You look good today." He complimented, staring at her with a lustful eyes intentionally, annoying Alicia and that made her to hiss loudly.

"Thanks!" Felicia blushed.

"Alicia would be living with me for a period of time." Michael beamed at Felicia. "You don't mind, right?"

"Yeah, I don't." She answered, stealing glance at his firm lips.

"What???" Alicia shouted in disbelief. "Just like that?"

"Yeah, spend some time with your boss."

"But what about you?" Alicia eyed her.

"What about me?" Felicia chuckled, making eye contact with Michael. " Don't worry about me, okay?"

"Fine!" Alicia finally agreed, raising her hands up in defeat.

"Good. Go and pack your luggages." Felicia said, using her hands to push Alicia towards her room.
