Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Run Destiny

Destiny's p.o.v

I was at my desk started doing my work. But I was not focused on it. My mind goes back to the dream I had. Liam is in the office probably taking shower.

I didn't even know I let Liam to stay in my apartment. I was too sleepy to analyze what I had said. And I am too embarrassed to even think about the dream I had.

I mean seriously! should I have to dream about that. But it felt so real. Like I was in that situation and I didn't even know.

Can you believe it, I freaking made out with Liam in my dream. I don't know when it started. But all of a sudden I felt a soft lips on my lips and I was in need to feel it. Hence I started moving along with it. I came to realize that I was dreaming about him when I moaned his name in my dream. I hope Liam didn't hear me from the living room. Atleast I got to kiss him in the dream. But something is not right here. I don't feel like this is a dream. I felt it was real. I mean did I seriously kiss Liam in dream or was he really there kissing me while I was sleeping.

Damn it, why do I have to be a deep sleeper not even knowing about the surroundings.

He would have told me if he had kissed me. Right!!

And he was acting really strange this morning. I think he is sick but he keeps denying me. Maybe. This thought is killing me. I groaned and put my head on the desk thinking what to do about this.

"Hello there Destiny, how are you?" I sat up immediately in shock and bought my hand to my chest to calm my beating heart. I looked up to see Alexis giving me concerned look.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you" she said in caring tune about me.

"It's okay. I am good now" I replied started doing my work again.

"And what bought you here, do you have documents to get signed" I asked her.

"Yeah" she said and moved towards the door. I stopped her calling her name.

"I think you should go after few minutes, he is... he might be in the shower" I said to her hesitantly.

"Why will he be in shower now. He didn't have in his home. And how do you know that he is in shower" she asked looking at me suspiciously.

I looked everywhere but her. What do I say.

"I.... He... " I was shuttering and thinking how to tell her.

"It's okay Destiny, I will ask him" she said and went inside. She closed the door but not completely, I can only hear her mumble. After few seconds, I heard Alexis scream.

"OH MY GOD, NO FREAKING WAY".

I dashed out of my desk and entered the office to see Alexis has pushed Liam collar a little and was looking at something. And Liam was putting on his shirt. What is she doing!. Isn't she married.

'Cool down Destiny, it must be a misunderstanding'

Seeing me Liam quickly pulled away from Alexis and completely turned his back to us and hurriedly put on his shirt. Alexis mouth was open in shock. What did she see, that made her so shock to talk.

"Is that..... Is that a hic..." Alexis words were cut short when Liam turned in shock and covered her mouth.

He laughed nervously and avoided looking at me. Alexis was talking but it was muffled, I didn't understand anything what she was saying. Liam nervous face suddenly turned into horrified and quickly removed his hand from Alexis mouth.

"Ewwww. Alexis that's disgusting, did you just lick my hand" he said in pure disgust and rubbed his hand on Alexis shoulder. She immediately moved away from him.

"That's what you get mister for covering my mouth. Can you explain what is that thing I just saw? And why did you shower here?" Alexis asked him crossing her arms infront of her. She is daring him to say.

"It's not your business where I was" Liam said looking at her annoyingly. She wasn't affected by that, but waited him to reply patiently by tapping her foot. Both of them were looking into their eyes challenging each other. And I was awkwardly standing by the door looking at them.

Their interactions are surely more than a boss and employee. They talk like siblings.

After few minutes Liam looked down released a breath in defeat. He looked up at Alexis who was grinning at him in victory.

"Who can win against a woman. Ok I didn't go home yesterday" he said half truth to her. Will he tell the truth he was at my apartment. She gave him a deadly look. He raised his hands up in surrender.

"Ok. I was at Destiny's yesterday" he said to her. Hearing my name she turned and looked at me in surprise. I looked down embarrassed.

"You were at Destiny's. Why?" she asked him. I looked up to see Alexis giving a questioning look at Liam.

"Well you said she was not well from two days. So I thought to visit her place to see how she was doing. We talked and didn't know how time went by. So she asked me to stay there because it was late" he said the truth. Suddenly Alexis face changed to realization and smirked at him.

"Ohh. So you went to see her how she was doing" he nodded his head at her "And you had a amazing night, didn't you?" she asked him wiggling her eyebrows still smirking. Liam face was now slightly becoming red. I looked at them confused. She turned towards me still smirking, her eyes were mischievous.

"Destiny you should... " she started to talk but was cutting short when Liam interrupted her and said.

"Miss Walker, can I get my morning coffee" he said to me professional tone. I nodded my hand and went to the kitchen. I was still thinking what Alexis wanted to say. I made his coffee and I was on the way to his office when Alexis came out happily. I smiled at her but she beamed happily at me.

"Seriously Destiny I thought you were innocent but no" she said shaking her head. She walked past me to the elevator. I was about to open the office door when Alexis called me. I turned towards her, she was by the end of hall. She smirked at me and said.

"Destiny you need to learn how to control yourself. I know he is your man, so no need to show it to everyone" I looked at her confused. What is she talking about. Looking my face she continued "You are so innocent Destiny" she laughed at me and went.

I was still processing what she told. 'Your man' . I like that. No. No. Focus Destiny. You should stay away from him remember.

But I work for him. How can I stay away from him. I quickly pushed that thought out and knocked at the door. I heard him say 'come in'.

I went in and placed his coffee on the desk. He quickly took a sip on it. He closed his eyes in relief. I should ask him what Alexis as said.

"Sir can I ask you something"

He opened his eyes and nod at me to continue.

"Alexis said that I should control myself, what did she mean by that" I asked him. He suddenly started coughing and kept the coffee on the desk. He took some tissue and cleaned his mouth. Did I ask him something wrong.

"Don't take her words seriously, she must be joking" he said nervously. "Can you bring today's schedule, if I don't have meeting in the morning I have a very important thing to do before that" he said. I can hear mischivnes in his voice. I quickly bought the schedule and gave it to him.

"Looks like I have meeting at three, till than I have time to take my revenge" he said to himself. He was looking at the file with a evil look on his face. Now I am scared of what he is going to do. He kept the file on the desk and looked at me sweetly.

"Now princess, I will give you a list, which has a bunch of items I want to you buy. And I want these items in an hour" he said. I said "yes sir". He started listing the items. Finally he wrote and gave along with his credit card to buy it.

And in an hour I buyed the every item and went back to Liam's office. His list was confusing, I mean he wrote flour. Why does he need that. I quickly entered his office. He was working on his laptop.

As I entered, he looked up and got up from his seat and came towards me. Before I can say anything, he took the bag from my hand gently, kissed my forehead and said.

"Thank you princess, now go and start your work. I will come to you when I will complete this. You will join me later, because I don't want you to know my secret" he winked at me and went to the balcony of his office. I stood there frozen. What just happened.

I slowly turned around and went out to my desk. I started working completely forgetting what happened. What is he planning, the evil look in his eyes was clear that what he was doing is very bad.

After an hour and few minutes, Liam's office door burst open, I looked up to see Liam coming out with a big gift box in his hand. He came towards me and placed it on my desk.

"What is this?" I asked him because I was curious.

"Now princess, this is a gift I made it myself for my secretary Alexis" he said happily but I can hear a evil plan behind.

"What are you doing. By hearing you I can say this box contains something bad" I said looking at him suspiciously. He smiled sweetly at me and said.

"You are very intelligent princess, because you are correct" he said smirking at me. He picked up the box and said "Follow me. I will show you what is a sweet revenge" he started walking. I quickly left the work and followed him.

He didn't go to the elevator, rather he took the stairs. I followed him behind to see his plan. We got to the floor where Alexis was working. He kept the box near the door and called a man working there and said something to him.

The man nodded his head and went to Alexis who was working on the desk. There were not much people in here. Only ten to twelve I think. The people are far away from Alexis where she was working.

The man said something to her, she listened to him and went to the elevator. Liam who was standing next to me, quickly took the gift and placed it on her desk. He came back to the stairs door where I was. Now we waited for her to return. We were looking at her through door which was slightly opened.

I looked at Liam and asked "What did she do to you, that you are taking revenge on her". He didn't look at me but answered "There are so many things, before you came here she was a trouble to me. It is usual now, we both do this to each other" he said. Suddenly he took my hand and said.

"Here she comes, and when I say run, you have to run okay"

"Okay" I replied and looked at Alexis.

Alexis came to her desk and saw the gift. She picked up the letter and read smiling at it. She quickly tore the gift and opened the box. But to her and my surprise, as she opened it, there was a blast sound with flour coming out of the box. I lifted my hand to cover my mouth from laughing.

Alexis was standing there completely covered in flour. We both were now laughing very hard. I think Alexis heared it and turned her head towards us. She was looking at us deadly and started making her way towards us. And I only heard Liam voice and that is.

"RUN"
