Chapter 48
NATHAN
On Wednesday, I decided not to go to Ryan's. I wanted to leave her intrigued. I felt like an idiot for doing so, but even if she's seeing another guy, I know I still have some effect on her. The proof of that was her concern. I couldn't sleep properly thinking about how I would get her back. Provoking her has always been the best strategy, so I decided to keep using it, as I always get a good response. She transformed when she was angry. She became sexy and it turned me on. I want to see her like that again. But I can't act at Ryan's. She would use work as an excuse at the first opportunity. I have to think about how I'm going to do this, and quickly. I need her back, I can't be without her, it's driving me crazy.
She's at her desk. Using a damn pair of glasses while reading some papers. Sexy as hell.
"Good to see you arrived on time." First move. The perfect way to start the day. She looks up at me as she notices my presence.
"Good morning, Mr. Ryan. What did you say?"
"I said it's good to see you're not late."
"I said it wouldn't happen again."
"Great. I want you in my office in one minute. Oh! Get me a coffee." She stares at me, I can even read her thoughts, sending me to hell. I smile before heading towards my office. "Collins..." I turn to her, but the elevator doors close before I can finish. I was going to ask for it without sugar. I hear a cell phone ring.
She left her cell phone on the desk. I approach, unable to resist. There's a new message notification, from that idiot John. Seriously? Surprisingly, there's no security password. I open the message. He's inviting her out on Friday night. I won't let that happen. Not at all. I could delete the message, but he could call or send another. I needed something more effective. Something to keep them from going out. But what? How am I going to keep her busy during the night?
"Excuse me," she enters with a scowl. Leaving the coffee on my desk, she turns to leave.
"Stay," she stops and looks at me. "Sit."
"Any problem?"
"No. I need you to go to my house tomorrow night." Great! She'll never agree to it.
"What?" Her eyebrows furrow in confusion.
"I need you to organize some files."
"Why not do it here?"
"Because they are at my house. Isn't it obvious?"
"Why not just bring them?"
"Because there are too many, and I want to bring them organized. I still need the staff to arrange a place for them here. I asked them to do it during tomorrow's day. Any problem with that?"
"No, but..."
"I need to remind you that you are my personal assistant. Going to my house is not out of the ordinary, and you haven't been performing your duties as you should lately. It's your job. Why don't you just do it?" She blinks several times before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. Then she opens them with determination.
"I'm not performing my duties as I should? You were gone for two days, and I've been postponing your appointments and receiving complaints the whole time. I managed to get everything in order, and you just come here, ask me for coffee, and say that I'm not doing my job right? Could you explain it to me? Should I do more? Iron your clothes? Cook for you?"
Bingo! My sassy girl is back.
"Are you angry? I think I should be angry. You always have some objection when you should just do what you're told. Remember, I'm the boss."
"Do you know what I think? Maybe you should try to be less of a jerk." Her fingers were gripping the armrests tightly. A little more, and she would probably jump on me. Would some scratches be so bad?
"You should hold your tongue. I warned you."
"It's not my fault you have problems." On the contrary, she's the biggest reason for the chaos I'm living in. I feel like putting her on the table and punishing her. I try not to imagine the scene.
"Get back to work. I want you at my house at eight."
"Eight?" I offer a firm look.
"Any objection? You're starting to annoy me. Get out." She smiles.
"Then I'd like to stay a little longer." She's being sarcastic.
"Do you want to test me?"
"Okay, Ryan, I'll help you. I know you can hardly do anything without a nanny." She stands up and walks to the door, leaving me even more annoyed because I can't take off that damn skirt.
"You're an extremely annoying type of woman, Collins."
"I love you too," she says before closing the door, giving me a wink. Hot bitch. And just like that, she got me hard.
She'll definitely drive me crazy. Where is that innocent girl I met? Maybe she was never innocent, and it's stupid of me to consider her as such just because she was a virgin. After all, she managed to annoy me even the first time we had contact. But I managed to take her to bed even though she was a virgin. That should mean something. Well, in reality, she convinced me. But I was never one of the good guys, so it wasn't that hard to convince me.
Damn. I had to prepare for the meeting, but I was wasting my time thinking about her. This meeting would be another test with her in the room. Shit! When would I have peace again?
