Chapter 4

“Kath’s POV”

“What are you going to do?!” I exclaimed when this annoying man comes to me, placing his arms around me as he held my arm and carry me with his arms! I shake my legs, and shouted, “put me down!”

I desperately look at my colleagues and ask for help while my heart stumbles, “Captain Llagas, Captain Ramos, Hillary! Help me!” I beg them, trying to reach them but they simply beam a smile at me.

“What do you guys mean by that smile?!” I questioned them angrily. "If you guys let me abducted by this man, my uncle will let you pay!” I warned them.

"Can you stop shaking your legs and being annoying?" he asked, I didn't listen and continued shaking my legs to put me down.

"Do you think you're not heavy?" he grumbled at me.

"For your information, I am only forty-two kg," I said quietly, rolling my eyes.

"Are you going to stop doing that, or I'm going to throw you to the ground?  It's your choice, Miss," he remarked authoritatively.

I diverted my gaze to him and noticed his solemn expression; I didn't know I had been looking at his flawless appearance until my eyes got sight of his kissable pinkish lips. My pulse skips a beat when I recall the unintentional kiss that occurred aboard the plane.

Why am I even looking at him? I don't think I'm attracted to this overbearing, irritating man! And he even goes so far as to label me heavy!

“Put me down!” I cried as one of my coworkers passed by, "we have to go first, Kath!

"My gaze followed them as they walked, "don't leave if you don't want my uncle to deduct your pay!" I warned them, yet they still left me alone with him.

“Wait!” I scream but they ignored me. I covered my face with embarrassment when we passed by the passenger on the plane and I heard that they are all talking about us.

I open the gap with my fingers to see if we arrived at the exit, I quickly remove my hands from my face and found that he is about to ride me inside the car.

“Wh—where are you taking me?!” I nervously told him as I am looking behind me to ask for help, “I… I am telling you, though my family and relatives are not as rich as you, they will still sue you if you continue abducting me!” I warned him.

I am so nervous when I saw him smirk at me and didn’t show fear in front of me, he put me in the car and sit next to me as the car moved.

My eyes turn bigger thinking that he might be planning something bad for me and covering my chest with my hands.

"I—if you're going to do anything ba...d t—"

"Would you just stop talking?" You're disrupting my sleep, therefore I'm going to send you to the hospital to get your wound dressed!" He is enraged.

I don’t know what happened to me and why did I suddenly felt disappointed when he explained it to me.

“Hey! Why do you look disappointed?” he is looking at me, moving his face closer to me.

I shifted my gaze, "I... I'm not!" I moved my eyes. Why would I be let down? ”

"If you aren't, why do you stutter?" What's the deal with your flushed face?" He questioned me bluntly.

Oh my goodness! How do I get away from his questioning? Can I just pass out in front of him so I can skip this question and answer portion? No… I shouldn’t do that, why do I need to avoid him.

"I told you... I'm not!" I said courageously as I turned to face him.

He moves his face a little closer to me, “I don’t believe you.” He muttered.

I stay still looking into his eyes, “then what do you believe?”

“I know that,” he moves his face closer to my ear and whispered, “you are in love with me.”

I froze upon feeling an electric shock that struck my whole body when I felt his soft lips touch my ear, my breath getting heavier as I breathe, and I can feel my heart is throbbing fast as if someone is playing the drum inside it.

What is causing this reaction in me? What exactly is going on with me? Why did I get so heated all of a sudden?

He moved his face away from me and leaned his back to the backrest of his chair, “relax, I have no plan to do something that you think of me. I am also not interested in you,” he assured me.

“That’s good! I’m relieved,” I sighed.

It’s clear to me that I have no intention of falling for him but why do I feel something’s wrong in my mind and why do I suddenly feel an emptiness in my heart as if I am missing someone in my life.

I sadly gaze at my knee; I've observed that it has stopped bleeding, but it's still a little sore. I looked for a handkerchief in my coat pocket to cover my legs, but I think I misplaced it, so I panicked and hastily looked for the cufflink in it as well.

I smiled when I touched it inside my pocket!

I suddenly realized the scarf on my neck, maybe will help to stop me from trembling in cold. I put my hands on it and untied it from my neck.

"Stop doing that, it won't help you," he said. I froze as he draped his coat over my legs, tying it around my neck and shifting my eyes to him.

"Miss, don't fall for me. I don't have time for romance," he boasts, raising my eyebrows.

"Do you think I'll fall for these ruses?  Sir, I am not that petty!" I moved my attention and rolled my eyes.
