THE NEXT MORNING
"Why do you have to go to the office today? You are not fully fine yet." Bella said in displeasure as she stopped the car and looked at Chloe.
"I am absolutely alright, Bella. The burn wasn't that deep. The burns are almost healed and I don't feel an ounce of pain in my leg." Chloe said with a smile while preparing her bag to get out of the bag.
"Still you could have taken the day off, Chloe." Bella said, still adamant to stay in her point.
"I can't take the day off, Bella. Only three weeks left and a lot of work is yet to be done under my name." Chloe tried to give a reason.
"Since when have you been so serious about work?! You were supposed to change Sebastian, not change yourself!" Bella exclaimed with a frown. Chloe frowned back after hearing her.
"I am not changing myself, Bella. I am the same. I am just becoming a litt
"What are you doing here, Miss Jones?" Sebastian asked in a serious tone he made sure to reflect his irritation in his tone. "I already told you. I brought your coffee." Chloe replied with a small shrug and went ahead to put the coffee in front of him. She put the coffee carefully. All the while he was watching her intently. He noticed that she wasn't wearing her regular heels. She was wearing a converse now and she was walking slower than usual. His eyes fell on her still bandaged hand. "I asked you to not come to the office today. Why did you come?" He asked in a cold tone with a deep frown. "Well, I wanted to come hence I come. Also I am absolutely fine now. Don't worry about this bandage, I am wearing it just because it looks cool. And I am walking absolutely fine too. So, I don't find any reason to take the day off. Also…" She voiced out all her reasoning in front of hi
"Devin? What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked as he stood up from his seat. But no answer came as the person called 'Devin' was lost in the sight of the beauty in his arms.Sebastian clenched his jaw seeing the scene in front of him. It boiled his blood for some reason. The sight of Chloe Jones in someone else’s arm didn’t sit well with him. He tried to get their attention but they both seem to be lost in their world’s, ignoring him completely. He stood up from his chair and walked toward the duo. He stood in front of them and they were still in the same position.He cleared his throat loud enough to bring Chloe's attention toward him and her eyes widened when she came back to earth. She quickly went ahead to stand straight while the man who was still holding her was in the same position. She was too fast to stop herself from banging her head with the man when she felt something soft on her forehead.
"Uhh… I must go...go… There is tons of work left." Chloe said after clearing her throat to get rid of the awkwardness which formed from the continuous glare from Sebastian from the past five minutes. She felt like a deer caught under the headlight under his burning gaze. She doesn't know why she was feeling so meek because she doesn't have anything to be afraid of. But still she can't deny the fact that Sebastian is intimidating. "What do you think you were doing?" He asked in his icy cold tone, making a shiver run through her spine. "Wh...what do you mean?" She asked while stuttering a little at the start. "You don't understand?" He asked with gritting teeth, proving that he was angry and she just nodded her head negatively, making him angrier. He reached her in one quick step and got a hold of her hand. Before she could understand anything, he spinned her around and in a b
IN THE PARTY There were flashes everywhere. It seemed to double up as soon as Sebastian Domanco got down the car. They took plenty of pictures of him and just when they were going to stop, Sebastian walked toward the other side of the car, stopping themselves on their track as they looked at the door with anticipation. Chloe kept sitting in the car breathlessly. She saw Sebastian walking toward her side. She was sure that he was going to walk away without her but when he stopped in front of her side, her breathing stopped. He opened the door and forwarded his hand for her to hold. She looked at him in shock with widened eyes. All the lights were flashing in her eyes, making her eyes sparkle like a shining diamond. "Wh...what are you doing?" She asked in shock. "We don't want them to think of me as mannerless, do we? Now, come on." He asked with a smirk. She smirked back.&nbs
All those sparks came back and all her hair in her body stood up, making her curl her toes. What's wrong with her? Why is she feeling these sparks while kissing every man around her? She thought Sebastian Domanco was exceptional, hence those sparks.The lips which were moving slowly in the rhythm of the background song, stopped moving and she opened her eyes slowly. She still wasn't over the effect of the kiss as she was feeling light headed when she saw the face of the owner of the luscious lips.Shock came like a raging bull and she lost her balance while taking two steps back. A low shriek left her mouth while she was making herself for the fall, when a strong arm wrapped it around her petite waist and pulled her up. Her hands landed on her boarded chest and her heart was running in a marathon with the target of winning an imaginary race."M.. Mr D...Domanco?" She stuttered, still in shock. Sebastian
"He slept with every secretary? Then what's wrong with me? Why doesn't he look at me that way? Am I too boring and unappealing? He even called the kiss mistake. I feel sad and drunk. I want to cry." Chloe whined to herself as she wandered around the empty corridor with heels in her hands. Her steps were slow and sluggish, proving how drunk she was. "No! No! What's wrong with me? What am I thinking? Why am I thinking like this? I am not the usual secretary? Nor am I jealous of them. I am not up for his one time. I am going to be his lifetime and show those gi-..." She couldn't complete her self boost when suddenly someone from behind pressed a hand on her mouth and within a blink of an eye, she found herself pressed up against the wall. Her eyes widened in shock and her heart picked up in fear of the supposed danger. But soon the touch felt too familiar in the dark. Soon the person opened his mouth and the voice seemed familia
THE NEXT MORNING Sebastian is in a bad mood from last night. The phone call didn't end up well which didn't sit well with him. He was frustrated all morning and he was letting it out on the poor employees. By the time Chloe arrived, she saw one of the employees, who is a girl running out of the office crying and another one who is a male was packing his things up. She quickly hurried up to his floor and bumped into Daniel Domanco, with her way toward his room. "What the hell did you do?" He almost barked at her, making her confused. "What did I do?" She asked with a frown. "Oh, you don't know?" Asking that, he shoved a newspaper in her hands. She looked at him in confusion before looking in the newspaper for the 'news'. She didn't have to look hard as the news was printed in the boldest letter. 'Sebastian Domanco
"Why don't I know about the meeting?" Chloe asked as she walked inside the restaurant beside Sebastian."It was planned suddenly. They are our old clients. Hence they called me personally and arranged this meeting." Sebastian answered and walked ahead. Cloth and behind him to catch up with him when her long opened hair came to her face, hulting her on the steps. She let out a half and put it in a messy bun."Ugh, that's the reason I don't keep my hair open. I will just go to the washroom and put it in a ponytail." Saying this she was going to walk toward the other direction when she felt a tag on her hand and she stopped. She turned around and looked at him with a frown of confusion."Don't." He simply said and pulled her closer."Huh?" She looked confused when he raised his other hand up and freed her hair from the bun without uttering a single word. Her eyes widened at seeing his action
