************Raymond***********
She didn't wait behind. Infact she bolted through the closet door as soon as I dismissed the meeting.
I wanted to go after her immediately but I didn't need the members of the board seeing me chase after her. Once they left I went straight to her office.
She was standing by her window looking outside. Her arms were folded across her chest. I tookout the privacy glass wall controller and put it on so that it turned translucent and stepped inside her office.
I wanted to know what the problem was. What I had done to upset her now. I just stood there and watched her back.
She turned to look at me and turned back to the window. I took it as a my cue to come forward. I stood beside her looking at her .
"Can I help you, Mr Brooks." She said turning to me giving me one of those poker faces. I tried to see if I could catch any scent of her emotions but I got nothing.
How could she be this good.
"I noticed you might have a problem with me, the look you gave me at the office, what did I do?"
"You really don't know do you?" I shook my head no " Why did you accept, Miss Kingstons' proposal? Did you even think about it? Her proposal is promising but uncertain?! It was very clear...too obvious even. What were you thinking?"
She huffed and turned back to face the window. " I know I'm not in the position to question your decisions but that decision... was uncalled for."
"But that's how the business world is. Nothing is certain. It's all about risks."
"But you could loose a lot of money -"
"And I could gain more than I can loose, can't I?" She nodded in understanding.
"Exactly. It's all about risks, Anna. I really appreciate your concern though. It means alot." I said placing my hand on her elbow. I felt her stiffened under my touch, I took my hand away immediately. " I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." I took a step backward.
" It's okay. I'm really sorry for lashing at you without understanding. I was really worried.." she was looking at her hands biting her lower lip. I felt blood rush down to my cock as it tightened in my pants. My brain felt mushy and Ritchie was antsy. Gawwd she's making this really hard.
"Don't bite your lip." I said using my right hand to pull out her lower lip. It felt so warm and soft on my thumb as I rubbed on it. When I felt her lean into my touch, my resolve slipped up completely. I looked up at her to see her staring at my lips with her eyes filled with with lust and longing.
With Ritchie's help, I closed the space between us taking her lower lip into my mouth . She moaned against mine leaning into my arms.
Gawwddd, she tastes so good.
I pulled her closer taking a fist full of her ass. It was so soft and squishy. I pressed her front to mine and she moaned again pulling my hair and that was it. Ritchie took over.
I lifted her dress careful not to rip it apart -no matter how tempting that was- and put her legs around my waist. She held on to my neck as I carried her to the desk .
I placed her on it and kissed her senseless. It felt soo fucking good...just as I imagined it would be.
She pulled away to take her breath. I looked at her, searching her face for any hints of regret..my heart skipped when I saw nothing on her face.
"Are you okay? I'm sorry I jumped on you like that..I-"
"It's okay, Mr Brooks-"
"It's Raymond or Ray to you, Annabeth."
" Alright, Raymond. It's fine. We're adults remember. But it's inappropriate. You are my boss and-"
Someone was knocking. We quickly moved away from each other, straightening the creases on our dresses.
"What happened to my walls?" She whispered pointing at them.
"Um, I got them changed. You said you didn't like it transparent so I got privacy walls. I hope you like it." She nodded. " I'd be leaving now. " I said walking to the door .
" Wait. Stop. You can't be seen walking out my office." She said walking hastily towards me and pushing me to towards her closet.
"Uh okay, I can walk though" I said laughing at her actions. I felt light knowing we can relate like this..casually.
"Oh sorry, I uh.. forgot" she said putting her both hands behind her and smiling at me.
I went into the toilet and closed the door and leaning on it so that I could eavesdrop...I know its petty but I can't help it.
"Good afternoon sir" She greeted the person.
I sniffed hard to know if I could recognize the scent...and I did.
My Father.
I felt chills go down my spine as Ritchie struggled to take over so he could go out there and put him far away from my mate.. He shouldn't be close to her. What's he doing here.
I swallowed my anger with stress, just letting it sizzle a little as I really wanted to hear what he had to say. What could he want with her? I just found her!!
"Good afternoon, my dear. Uh..may I sit?"
"Yeah you can. How many I help you?."
"Okay. That means you do not know me. I am Adam Brooks."
The stench of fear that oozed from Annabeth was alarming. Why is she scared? Or is she just nervous?
'Shut the fuck up so we can hear what the bastard has to say' Ritchie basically screamed in my head.
"Okay. Your son's office is opposite mine but I believe you already know that. So how can I help you sir?" She said in a louder voice. I couldn't perceive any feelings from her anymore. She has masked it...again. How does she do that so effortlessly . Even I needed to train for 2 years to learn to do that.
" Straight to business, I see." - no shit Sherlock - "Well, word on the street is you got this job without an interview and he hasn't mentioned you to anyone in the family.. Not even Rosie. So tell me-"
"-Who are you, Annabeth Smith?"
