CHAPTER- 5

1 MONTH LATER

Ace POV:

"You can't find him! Are you fucking kidding me! Find him before I cut all your necks. Dismiss! ", I yelled, irritatingly.

Everyone nodded thier head in synchronized.

As I came out of the office after yelling for hours because the Noah is nowhere to be found now.

If I tell Liam he will find him in an hour. He's the best hacker in our group.

But I don't want any one of them to know about her, then they will eventually find out about Iris and that will make a huge drama in my house. Fucking Dramas.

Yeah! Hudson don't trust me with girl's well that's what he think about me FUCK BOY.

Well about Iris she's just roaming inside the house like a snail. Always roaming in the corners silently and cleaning something.

Silent, shy and submissive.

"Boss", Ivan yelled, grabbing my attention because we arrived at the mansion.

"I am not deaf Ivan," I said, emotionlessly.

I know he must be glaring at me right now. I don't care it's not like he don't mess with me.

As I entered the mansion my eyes searched for the snail but she was nowhere to be found.

I opened the bedroom door but she was not here too.

Suddenly a faint sniffing sounds were coming from the ward board.

I opened it and saw Iris was sitting behind the clothes crying...covering her head with the hood of her dress and rubbing her nose with her hand sleeves or I say her handkerchief.

Will I be a sadist if I said I find her cute when she cries but not in painful way.

"What happened bambi? why are you crying? ", I asked, coldly as I carried her out of the little conjusted space.

How in the hell did she fit inside the space?

I placed her on my lap in a straddling position and removed her sweater hood, revealing her little crying face to me.

"Can you tell me what happened because I am not patient person ", I murmured, wiping her tears.

Fucking hell! She look so small in my lap and so freaking soft like cotton.

" I-I..broke your watch...w-while cleaning....I AM SO SORRY PLEASE DON'T KILL ME", she cried out loudly like a 3 year old fucking toddler.

"Well, I can buy thousands of watches like that..so, stop crying. Can you? ", I bounced my knees, slightly and she nodded her head, taking harsh breaths.

"Really..y-you are n-not m-mad..at me", her voice came out coarsely as she took short and deep breaths.

Her eyes, cheeks and nose were pink, lips was slightly open for inhaling oxygen through her mouth.

"No. I am not mad at you", I murmured and started to wipe her nose.

Poor girl. She cried her heart out over a broken watch, and weirdly I was liking the position we were.

My eyes roamed at her face, pbserving her properly. my throat bopped as I wetted my lips.

She is sure pretty. Slowly my hand palmed her cheek, placing my thumb on her cheeks.

Her cheeks were kinda chubby. Cute.

A deep frown formed on her forehead as she looked at my lips, confused.

That's when I realized the corners of my lips were slightly tugged upward, forming into a faint smile.

I abruptly wiped the smile, sighing deeply. I leaned down planting a kiss on her cheek and hugged her.

She didn't even resisted but she didn't hugged back too.

She just hide her face in my neck and I was rubbing her back because her heart was beating so fast that I can also feel it. Poor bambina, I scared her so much.

After 15 minutes, her sobbing turns into sniffing but she was still hiding her face in my neck.

Her hot breaths were warming my neck, making me shiver weirdly.

This was the first time a girl was sitting on my lap hugging me instead of fucking me.

There was a knock on the door that interrupted our movement. Dammit.

Iris raise her head from my neck and rubbed her nose, sniffing. Our faces were close to each other.

Her eyes were so dark not because of lust or any lewd desire...but a calm peace like when we reach a sea's depth like that dark and peaceful.

"Boss, are you there? ", Ivan said, aloud.

I forced myself to look away from her eyes and she also got up looking peaceful and sleepy not embarrassed.

"Come in", I said, fixing my suit.

Ivan came inside and looked at us weirdly because well if anyone will be there they would have thought that too.

"The files you asked...boss", he murmured, giving the files to me and left not before looking at us one more time suspiciously.

"You look so cool, like you didn't sit on someone's lap", I said without even thinking a shit.

"W-Well we are now friends..because you hugged me so, I-I don't think I should be embarrassed...about anything", she said emotionlessly staring at me.

"OK... so you're saying that's how friends behave", I confirmed because I think my ear misheard or something.

"Yeah..", She confirmed.

I sighed to control my anger. A itchy feeling formed into my chest making me irritate.

"Whatever happened here is nothing so don't think something else and maintain a good distance from me because you work here and I am the boss, you understand", I said, sternly.

I don't know with whom she said this and done god knows what.

"I said you understand, whore", I said, furiously.

"..Y-Yes sir," she whispered.

She left the room, pouting and I feel weird but I brushed it out and start to work on some shipment files.
