Chapter XVII

"Here's your coffee, Sir Sebastian," I said and placed down the saucer on the bedside table.

He just nodded and checked something on his laptop before his ocean blue eyes darted on me. "Is there anything I can help you with, Cejay?" he asked not in an irritated tone but an earnest sense of tone when he noticed I didn't leave immediately.

I took a deep breath before I spoke. "How do you rate the things we followed in tonight's itinerary, sir?" I said, hopeful. I am hoping for good feedback. It seemed that he enjoyed eating and strolling around the Yaowarat Road a while ago.

He arched his eyebrow and stayed silent. I narrowed my eyes then crossed my arms over my chest when after a minute he hadn't made a response.

"Sebastian, feedback." I rolled my eyes and grinned mentally upon ordering him.

Seconds had passed, a sly smile slithered on his lips. "You are ordering me around?"

"Yeah. So?" He's not going to fire me... He's not going to fire me... I kept chanting that to my head. I hope he won't fire me at this hour. I'll be a lump of dead meat if I don't have a job.

A sexy chuckle escaped from his lips. I found myself gulping from it. I even eyed him while he was sitting on his headboard and his feet were on the side of the edge of his bed. Damn it! Why do I find him looking so hot in that position? He was wearing his acid blue suit. He hasn't worn his sleepsuit yet.

"I enjoyed tonight's event, Cejay."

I blinked for a moment upon hearing his soft, deep voice that sent tingles to my stomach. I snapped back. "I knew it! It was obvious that you enjoyed it! Ha!" I said boisterously, feeling proud of myself. I did this to ignore the somersaulting of my stomach right now. This is at least to distract me. "If you didn't enjoy it, you will have a long face while we're in Yaowarat Chinatown," I added. "I was right all along!" I grinned.

I'm a keen observer of him. I made sure that I am testing the water before I will finally be having a great gulp. This man... It's a good thing that I highlighted it.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He shook his head like he found me eerie with my actions. He had a look of disappointment but his lips curled into a dominant smile. "Scoot now and go to bed." He beckoned his palm down like he wanted to shoo me away.

"Not yet. I'll prepare your clothes for tomorrow. We are going to an island here in Thailand called Ko Samet. And we will be staying there for two days and one night," I explained and walked towards the armoire.

I was about to open it to get him some clothes when a strong arm landed on my waist pulled me away from there. Gasping, I pivoted my upper body to see Sir Sebastian being so close to my body right now.

His face... Fuck it! His face was an inch closer to mine. I could smell the minty of his breath and a strong black coffee.

"W-What..." on earth is happening? I couldn't even utter that freaking question because I was left stunned and couldn't even move.

Why is Sir Sebastian almost hugging me right now? Why does his face darken right now? Did I do something wrong?

"I want you to stay away from there, Cejay."

His tone even changed to something a warning that I only heard whenever he wasn't in the mood or was ready to fire someone. But the tone wasn't similar to those scenarios. I shivered like the way he was piercing his orbs on me and his hot breath fanning in my face indicating that if I touch the door of his wardrobe, I would be in a jeopardy situation.

"W-Why?" I mindlessly asked in a soft voice.

I placed my hand that was on my waist and held on to it. My knees were feeling a little wobbly so I had to find something where I could grasp strength.

"It is a bit messy so I will fix it first. You can try preparing my clothes tomorrow," he whispered behind me.

I furrowed my eyebrows a little as my eyes were piercing on the door of the armoire. "But... I can settle it—" I immediately flinched and gasped when he pulled me more to him until I felt his broad chest in my head.

"Cejay." I gulped upon hearing that husky dangerous tone from my boss. "I said that you can try tomorrow, didn't I?" Hesitant, I nodded vigorously. "Then, I said that you can now leave and go to your bed, correct?" A nod again. "So, you heard me loud and clear. Listen to my orders before I yell at you furiously. Alright?"

I irked again when he pinched my side to fully wake me up from this inappropriate incident. The moment his arm was off me, even my knees were wobbly, I dared to pivot around to see his hooded eyes with a mysterious, dominant smile defined on his face.

"I-I should go," I informed him, stammering.

"Good girl." He nodded. Then he moved to open the door of his room. "I will see you tomorrow." I just nodded as I mindlessly walked past him. I felt like I was being forced to move. Like I felt being a marionette. "Have a good night, Cejay."

Until I reached my room, that's when I held on to the wall. "F-Fuck..." My lips were quivering right now. His dominating aura earlier had left me quite speechless. I don't even know what to react to at that time.

The way he held my waist and his baritone voice was almost pooling me down below. It was as if I was listening to some kind of horny ASMR thoughts of a man at that time. It wasn’t cringing at all. It felt...

"Good," I muttered and gasped from the realization. I even covered my mouth with my hands. What the fuck that I just had in my head?

I am thinking a fucking hilarious thing!

I shook my head vigorously. No, no, no. This couldn't be happening to me. I shouldn't feel something hot just by hearing how husky his voice was. I felt like if he did that again, I am afraid I would get pregnant tomorrow morning.

I slapped both of my cheeks to wake up from this shitty thought that kept on lingering on my head. What am I even thinking, you piece of shit, Cejay?!

I breathed in and breathed out. Calm down, Cejay. Do not think of something disgusting with your boss!

I must go to sleep. Maybe tomorrow, I might be able to forget this weird feeling lingering on me right now.

"Damn that Sebastian." I frowned and covered my body with sheets.
