Chapter-07

“Janet Brown?” Janet turned around and noticed a tall, handsome man was standing there, maybe waiting for her.

“Yes,” Janet said, trying to stay calm.

“Mr. Wilson is waiting for you upstairs,” Ben said and showed her the way forward.

Janet started to walk and Ben walked forward while Janet followed him behind.

Ben took her to the CEO’s private elevator instead of using the regular one, which normally Janet used to use while working in the Wilson group.

She was surprised how the interior of the elevator was also exuding elegance. This was what must be the life of rich people.

They leave their mark wherever they go.

But one thing was making her confused, how she caught the eyes of this superb personality.

Maybe she wouldn’t have to wait long to know the answer, but she wasn’t sure whether the answer would fit her liking.

When the elevator opened again, they got down to the CEO’s office.

This was the first time Janet was walking on this floor, as only top employees of the Wilson group had access to this floor.

“Mr.…” Janet called out to Ben getting intimidated by all this exterior.

She wanted to know why she was getting this opportunity to meet “The Edwin Wilson.”

“Mam, I know you are nervous. But only Mr. Wilson can answer your question.” Ben said politely, but it only made Janet terrified.

What was the matter with all this secrecy? What was she going to face? Why didn’t even Ben, Edwin’s assistant, know about this?

“Mam.” Ben opened a door where Edwin Wilson was boldly written and Janet could only wipe her sweat in her dress.

She entered the room with a trembling step and before she could look around the door closed from behind, making her gasp in fear and look at the closed door.

“So, you are Janet Brown?” Janet was facing the door, but she turned around, hearing the voice.

“Yes…” she replied, hesitating.

She could see a handsome man sitting behind a table regally.

Even when he was sitting on a chair the dominating aura, he was oozing made Janet cower back in fear.

He was wearing a black shirt with the upper two buttons opened.

His sleeves were rolled down to his arms, showing his powerful arm muscles, and he was leaning forward, placing his hand on the table, which was filled with various files.

Edwin couldn’t stop himself from checking out the girl who was with him that night.

That night he couldn’t remember the face of that girl, but he had seen her face on CCTV footage, he didn’t know she was so beautiful in reality.

He could see the girl wasn’t wearing any makeup, even though her face was smooth, and she was blushing out of fear or nervousness. He didn’t know, but it made her look so fucking tempting.

But one thing was sure, he never felt so attracted to any girl before.

Even though he had left a girl waiting in the Wilson mansion ready to marry him, he wasn’t attracted to her even a bit.

But one glance at this lady and he wanted to take her close and admire every inch of her body. Even his body was reacting to her presence, making her wonder who she was as he had been always in control before that night.

“Mr. Wilson…can I know why you wanted to meet me?” Janet asked, mustering up her courage, though she was ready to run out of this room the moment she got a chance.

Edwin didn’t reply to her, instead, he got up from his chair and took slow predatory steps toward Janet.

Janet was already losing her shit, but when Edwin got up from her chair, she couldn’t help herself from clenching her hand around her clothes.

She wanted to run away, but she knew it wouldn’t be easy to get away from him if he wanted to do something.

The door was closed and even though she could open it Ben must be standing outside and she could only leave this place if Edwin would allow her.

She had seen how the Elevator was password protected and she could only get out if she pressed the password, which she didn’t have any idea about.

Edwin was standing in front of her, even though he wasn’t doing anything inappropriate his proximity was suffocating Janet.

“Mr. Wilson….” Janet wanted to warn him to stay away, but she couldn’t talk further.

“I didn’t know you were working under me.” Edwin’s words only surprise her further.

“What do you mean?” Janet asked, confused.

“Do you have a boyfriend?” Edwin asked.

“Even if you do, you are not very close, I guess. If I am not wrong, you were a virgin.” Edwin was talking, which was nothing but nonsense to her.

“What…” Janet was getting anxious.

What did he mean by she was a virgin? She never had a boyfriend.

She never had time to entangle herself in all those distractions as her only motto was getting a degree and making her career.

But why was Edwin talking about those things with her? They were literally strangers a few minutes back. And she can’t still say they were close to discussing these private things.

And how did he know she lost her virginity?

Edwin was also confused about why he was thinking about all this.

It was not his idea to call her here.

But after meeting her he felt attracted for the first time.

Janet was terrified, thinking Edwin must have some idea about that night. How? That question was more terrifying than anything else.

But why was he interested in her life first of all?

Before today Janet had no idea they had any relationship, except she was his employee. And she was sure he also had no idea she used to work here from his words.

She didn’t want to dwell on all these questions as it would make her head burst out of worry and this man had something that was causing her suffocation.

She wanted to finish whatever he had to do with her and leave this place ASAP.

She closed her eyes, took an inhale hard and opened her eyes to muster up courage.

“Mr. Wilson. Can… I know why you called me here?” Though she wanted to sound confident, when he turned around, all her courage ran out of the window.

“Interesting, I like those people who get on the point without beating around the bush.” Edwin’s eyes lit up with an ambushed grin and he walked back to his seat.

“Miss brown it would be appreciated if you take a seat. Maybe it will help us to deal with this matter well.” Edwin offered her a seat opposite him.

Though Janet wanted to stay away from him, standing there and fighting his aura was too exhausting.

It would be better to get support from a chair.

Janet took a slow step, gently pulled out the chair, and sat opposite him.

But her peace was slow-lived as Edwin leaned forward, making him too close to her private space.

“Ok, so get on the topic.” Edwin leaned back, making Janet sigh in relief.

“I would ask you some questions and I would love it if you answered me truthfully. It would save both of us some trouble.” Edwin said, and Janet nodded.

She didn’t commit any crime, so there was nothing she needed to hide.

Even if Edwin wanted to enquire about today’s incident, she was not at fault.

But what Edwin asked Janet wasn’t prepared for that.

“Where were you last Friday night?” Edwin asked, and the question took Janet off guard.

“Last Friday…” Edwin was asking about the night when she was drugged and spent the night with a stranger.

“Mr. Wilson. I don’t think… I need to explain my personal life to you.” Janet was nervous, but she needed to take her stand.

If the truth got exposed, it would be embarrassing.

“OK, let me change the question. Were you in Hotel Paradise, last Friday don’t try to avoid the question. It would be best for you.” Edwin leaned forward, making her lean back out of fear. His question held a threat and Janet trembled hearing his tone.

Janet wanted to run, but her feet were frozen and she couldn’t move an inch out of fear.

“Yes,” Janet nodded affirmatively.

“Which room?” Edwin asked again excitedly.

“1…001” Janet replied and a sarcastic smile formed on Edwin’s face.

“You remembered it so clearly?” He mocked her, but Janet felt a tear fall from her face, which she wiped hurriedly.

How could she forget the room where she had spent that dreadful night? And she remembered that was the only room on that floor.

“Mr. Wilson. Why are you asking me this? Did I do something wrong?” Janet didn’t know how he got to know about that and why he was asking her that question.

Yes, she had spent a night with a stranger, and she lost her virginity that night.

But it was her personal matter, and she didn’t want to discuss this with anyone else.

Let alone the person she has zero to no contact with.

“Can’t you remember? You already forgot the person you spent a night with a few days back?” Edwin asked and his words made Janet’s eyes pop out of shock.
