She was lost in her world of reverie until the light in the elevator started fluctuating and the engine started to make failing sounds.
Soon, the light went off and the elevator stopped.
Alynah snapped out of her reverie, she wasn't in Kayden's office, straddling him. She was stuck with him in the elevator!
Kayden took out his phone and failed Evan.
"What's going on, Evan?"
"I'm sorry sir, I don't know but there must be some problem somewhere" Evan's stuttering voice was heard from the other side of the line.
"Have you contacted Donald?" Kayden asked.
"Ye..no.. sir. But I will now. I'm so sorry sir" Evan stuttered and apologized.
"Do that fast" Kayden said.
"But where are you sir? Hope you are safe" Evan's worried voice rang in. Kayden shut his eyes and breathed out.
"Stuck in the 64th floor's elevator" Kayden replied and Evan's gasp was heard.
"Sorry sir! I'll contact Donald right now!" Evan hung up.
Kayden sighed, slipping the phone into hi pocket. Alynah knew there's a problem. Gosh! It's even Tim to pick Tulip from school on
"S..s .sir?" Alynah stuttered and Kayden turned to her. The line in his face were sharp.
"What's it?" His voice was cold as he took steady steps closer to her.
Alynah subconsciously moved back, her hands gripping the rails behind her, tight.
"Why moving away? Suddenly scared?" He smirked as he placed his hand on the wall above her head. Alynah gulped down not knowing what to say.
Kayden stared intently at her. Her brown eyes were glimmering under the dark as they stared into his grey ones. He felt like pinning her to the wall and kissing the hell out of her. But heck! He's not doing that. At least, not yet.
"Uh..uhmm..I...Can I go out please?" She asked. Kayden scoffed.
"Stuck in here?" He asked, his lips tilting in disapproval.
"No I mean, when we're out. I wanna pick Tulip from school" she replied, inhaling his sweet expensive manly cologne. Darn! His scent will be the death of her.
Kayden used his index and middle finger to raise her chin up, his eyes boring into hers.
"Shouldn't we cross the bridge first? We are stuck in here" Kayden acknowledged.
"You don't sound worried either" Alynah returned his words.
"I wouldn't. Even if..." He trailed off and smirked.
"Even if we will never get out of here, forever"
Even if we will never get out of here, forever
Alynah picked up the line. What does he mean? Disappearing to the whole world mysteriously?
"We are getting out of here. Very soon when Donald fix things out" Alynah wasn't sure of what she was saying but she needed to comfort herself that they'll get out of here soon.
"I can call him and command him not to fix it" he smirked mischievously and Alynah pursed her lips in displeasure.
Kayden's gaze landed on her lips and he gulped down.
"Darn it Lynnie!" He grumbled lowly and peeled his gaze away from her briefly.
"Office romance is prohibited" Alynah said but then she gasped.
"And who will sue me for that?" Kayden smirked, string dangerously at her.
"Uh..no one" Alynah shook her head.
"So can I go and pick Tulip?" She asked again.
"Not that I'll let you go" he shrugged.
Fortunately, lights has been restored and the elevator started moving. They arrived at the 46th floor and Alynah walked out.
Kayden watched her as she left and he smirked, pressing a button, the elevator closed.
Alynah was disappointed, so that means Tulip will stay in school till 5pm!
But why? Kayden. Is really heartless. Just because she wanted to pick her baby from school. That boss of hers really has a heart of stone.
Just when she thought he likes her and has a soft spot on her, he just revealed how cold he is and how... he'd been playing with her heart and mind.
Alynah huffed and kept raining insults on Kayden, sulking until she reached her office. She burst in and slammed the door closed, burying herself with work.
••Twilight Elementary School••
Kayden pulled over in his BMW M8. Stefan hopped down and opened the door for him and he majestically hopped down.
Tulip, who have been waiting to more than 30 minutes excitedly ran to him. Kayden picked her up and pecked her cheeks.
"You kept me waiting" she pouted.
"I'm sorry birdie. I got hooked up on something" he apologized stroking her dark curly hair.
Flirting with your mommah and then stuck in the elevator with her.
That was really what happened.
"Where's mummy?" She asked.
"She's at the office. Let's get you lunch first" he replied and they hopped into the car.
GSG Org
Su Yang burst into Velvet's office angrily to see Velvet sulking from the previous meeting.
"What wrong?" Su Yang asked, seeing Velvet's purple face.
"That thing! Can you imagine Mr Hart called her to his office after she embarrassed and criticized me at the meeting today?" Velvet snapped, heaving in anger.
"Who knows he likes her?" Su Yang shrugged.
"Like? Mr Hart loves Alynah! You will be so dumb if you can't really tell" Velvet snapped again.
"Can you imagine that brat see cane with called me devilish and dangerous!" Su Yang huffed.
"They are birds of the same feather" Velvet shrugged.
"Just wait and see Alynah, I'll make sure you fall in this organization. I'll make sure Mr Hart hates you to the core that he can't withstand seeing you in his company and probably fire you" Velvet gritted, her voice laced with rage and venom as she clenched her fist.
"What? Do you have any plan?" Su Yang asked, moving closer to her. Velvet didn't say anything as she tucked her red hair behind her ear. She only smirked. A sly and sinister smirk.
Kayden and Tulip waked side by side into the organization. Everyone was gaping at them as they sighted them. They really looked like a real father and daughter. The workers were squealing and whispering as they walked pass them.
"Birdie, c'mon you need to rest first" Kayden said as they entered his office. He led Tulip to his personal elevator and they arrived at another floor. It's more like a secret floor. Well, that's his penthouse.
Tulip gasped as she explored the exquisite glass penthouse. It's a simple house but smelled of luxury. He smiled as he watched her gaping at the house.
He held her hand and led her to the glass door in his room. They appeared in the top-most building. There are couches, table, grass carpet, decorated with flowers. A place for relaxation. He asked Tulip to wait for him while he served the lunch and prepared coffee.
While they were done with lunch, Kayden went back to his office leaving behind Tulip to explore and relax in his penthouse.
A knock came at the door and Alynah walked in. Her face was moody as she glared at Kayden for a short while.
"Sir, I'm here to ask what program should I use for the new design" Alynah went straight to the point.
This is strictly business, don't let personal feelings overrule you emotions and job unless you'll regret it.
Her subconscious mind comforted.
"Use any program of your choice" Kayden shrugged his shoulders elegantly.
Alynah glared at his back and turned to leave but froze at the voice she heard. It was soft, cute and familiar.
"Mummy, is that you?"
