C H A P T E R 3

The next day, Krystal enter the office happily and positively. The date last night with Nick was amazing and it made her feel really fine. The smile on her face is wide, reaching her ears. Nick never fails to make her feel fine all the time, Nick is her happy pill.

As Krystal enter the office, Jenny sees her and notice her bright face. She quickly walks towards Krystal, unnoticed. "What's with the bright face?"

Krystal shrieks, she breathes hitches. "God, Jenny! You scared the life of me." Jenny only laughs at her and Krystal walk past her.

"You did not answer my question, Krystal!" Jenny follows her and Krystal ignore her. "Did you and Nick do it? Is that why you're so happy and blooming today? Was he amazing? Was he big?"

"Jenny!" Krystal roar, eyes growing wide at her blunt words. Jenny jumps at her feet, stumbling a little backwards. Everything hushes down and everyone inside the office snaps their head towards Krystal and Jenny.

Realization hits Krystal and she blinks her eyes, shyly and apologetically smile. "Sorry," Krystal murmur and duck her head down. Her eyes then pierce towards Jenny, who is cackling at her. Krystal angrily rolls her eyes. "You're so evil. I hate you."

"I know and I know you're lying, you still love me. Now, tell me the details! The performance rate!" Jenny exclaims excitedly and Krystal just sigh.

"Can you lower your voice please and no we did not do it so leave me alone." Krystal walks towards her table and starts to arrange some papers.

"What!?" Jenny mewl at her. "Are you kidding me?!"

Krystal shakes her head. "No, I'm not now leave me alone I need to work."

Jenny did not listen to Krystal though, as she always has. She leans onto her table while Krystal starts to work on the pile of papers on it. "No shit Sherlock! You two still haven't done it? Why? You've been in a relationship for more than a year and nothing happened? Gosh, is he cheating on you that is why?"

The 'cheating' word made Krystal look at her in an instant and stop doing what she is doing, it shake her a little. Nick is cheating on her? Is Nick seeing another woman that's why he doesn't touch her? Her chest tightened and she can feel her heart aching at the thought.

No, she knows Nick. she knows Nick so much for him to that. He would never hurt and break her. He loves her and he would not dare cheat on her. "He is not. A relationship is not all about sex, Jenny. they are happy with how things work between them and Nick knows that she is not ready for that yet. He respects Krystal and he loves her."

Jenny raised an eyebrow. "You are?"

Krystal sigh. "Yes, Jenny I am." she started working again but she can still Jenny's presence beside her. Krystal did not talk again, somehow. Jenny was silent and she just let her stand there.

"I guess that's very sweet of Nick," Jenny speaks, nodding her head up and down but Krystal can see as if she was contemplating and forcing herself to understand her and her relationship with Nick 

"It is." Krystal smile at her.

"But did you not crave for it? I mean did you not want it to happen – want him to touch you, kiss you and hold you like you are the most fragile yet the most special and the most precious gem of his out of this world? Did you not want him to make love to you?"

Jenny's question had Krystal stop and freeze. She did, she does, she always has wanted it. Krystal wants Nick to touch her whole skin and body passionately, she wants Nick to kiss her feverishly and intimately, to hold her tight under him, she wants Nick to run his hands over her bare self and do all the different things she could possibly imagine. She wants to feel him and say his name repeatedly.

"I do." Krystal exhale, breathy. She can feel her thighs pressing on their own. Yes, she does but she can't. Krystal doesn't want to look desperate and it's too much of a shame for her to ask Nick directly that she want to do it. She is getting lost as she is getting further with her imagination and thoughts, she bit her lip lightly.

"Oh, Mr Knight!" Jenny's voice boomed throughout the whole room. Krystal can hear everyone shriek. She snaps out of her trance and jumps on her seat. She turns around and meets with his eye.

Krystal was shocked. She bows immediately. Mr Knight. G-good morning!"

"Mr Knight, without being rude what made you visit?" Jenny asked politely but her stance was all stiff and nervous.

Mr Knight looks at Jenny then at Krystal who is still in shock. "I see you have forgotten about your task today, Miss Krystal."

She had a task? Did he give her a task? She didn't know. She looks at him, perturb and she has her brows crumple in confusion. Krystal doesn't remember him giving her any task from yesterday.

Jenny looks at Krystal as well, confused. "You forgot you have a task? Since when did you become forgetful?" Jenny asked in a hushed tone, almost a whisper.

"I don't remember I was given one." She murmurs back. Krystal start to panic, sweats on her back starts to roll down, she can feel them. The room feels hot at the moment.

Mr Knight stares at Krystal worried guise. As always, his eyes are piercing, blazing at her. They are always dark. His eyes then move down unto her body and it screams fire. She looks sexy in his eyes, deadly hot. She is wearing a matching corporate attire – a faded patterned grey blazer with a white inner top that highlights her collarbone and shows a bit of her chest and a skirt that reach her mid-thigh, exposing her beautiful legs, not so much though.

Mr Knight secretly bit his inner cheek, then gulp. She is making him hungry. "Follow me, Krystal." He order and Krystal look at him. Mr Knight walks out of the room and she nervously looks at Jenny, pleading.

Jenny also looks at her, concern. "Go." She ushers her to walk out but she doesn't want to. She is afraid. Jenny smile at Krystal warmly. "Go go don't make him wait, it'll be fine."

Krystal walks out of the office fast nonetheless, following Mr Knight. Is he going to fire her? God, how stupid can she be for forgetting a task the CEO had assigned her. Krystal can't even do things right, she is disappointed in herself.

She cluelessly followed Mr Knight. She didn't even notice that the elevator opens and the two of them slid inside. She only wakes up after hearing the ping when the door closes. As it closes, she only realizes that it's the only two of them inside.

She cast her eyes forward and she can see her reflection on the front wall, she can also see Mr Knight clearly. He's looking at her through the reflective wall, Krystal clear her throat. She quickly look away.

The elevator space was average in size but Krystal feel suffocated and stuffy. She did not know why but she don't like the way he looks at her, it makes her anxious. She is intimidated by him. the way down feels so long and she really wants to get out.

"You're tense." Mr Knight looks at her. His voice echoed throughout the space of the elevator.

"How'd you know- I am? I mean I am not Mr Knight." Krystal stutters as she meets his black eyes. He chuckles and nods. "If you say so. And Xavier, you can call me Xavier."

She blinks. "Isn't that um- unprofessional Mr Knight?"16

"It's not when it's just us Krystal and your twenty-two I believe?" Her eyes bulge. He's only twenty-two? Twenty-two and he is a billionaire? Wow. She couldn't believe it but she bob her head nonetheless, nodding. "That makes us the same age, you're allowed to call me Xavier and it makes me feel old when you call me with Mr Knight."

Why would he want her to call him by his name? She doesn't have any idea but if that is what he wants, she couldn't say no. It's just a simple favour and he's the CEO.

The elevator opens. Krystal looks at Xavier first and she sees him loosen his necktie and unbutton his blazer suit. Krystal sees him gulp and his adam's apple bobbing. She stares at him longer than she should. He saw Krystal and he smirks at her.

She looks away, blushing. she has no idea why she was staring at him in that way when she shouldn't be. Her cheeks flush a tint of pink, she is embarrassed. She hears him chuckle again.

"You're adorable when you're blushing Miss Krystal. Let us go." Xavier walk past her, out of the elevator which made her speechless. Did he just compliment her out on her misery? Shebblush even more but she immediately regains her conscious self.

Krystal still doesn't have any idea where is he taking her but she walks out of the elevator and follow Xavier.
