Chapter 154
Akira's POV
"Fuck..." Vida cursed, retrieving her step, without even throwing her eyes on me or even Meredith. The expression on her face was enough to show that she didn’t want to ride the same elevator with Meredith just as I didn’t want to ride with Wolfie. I wondered what she was doing outside the company, and while she had to use the highest floor elevator when her office was on the down floor, "Use the other elevator." Wolfie's voice deep and cold dragged me from my thoughts, and my eyes snapped to him. Meredith just nodded as he retrieved his step and the door shut between us. I shut my eyes hoping that we get to our destination asap, just when I thought he wasn't going to speak to me, his voice came up.
"Why is he the one driving you to work for the past two weeks?" I rolled my eyes inwardly, I thought he never noticed and he hadn't spoken a word to me after the rejection except that note he left on my desk before I resumed the Monday after our breakup, I couldn't forget the caption, "Letting you work here doesn't mean you should disrespect me because we hookup, you should know your place as my employee, what we have now, is nothing but employer and employee relationship, which means I could show you the door, the very moment you disrespect me or meddle on my business." I shut my eyes pushing those thoughts from my head, I didn't want to recall all the pains, and how low he made me feel. I knew it would end at the end of today. "Can't you talk?" He growled when I didn't say a word to him.
"He is my boyfriend," he let out a mocking laughter, and my gaze moved to him. I stared at him like an alien because I couldn't feel any humor in what I just said.
"Stop joking around I don't want to see him anywhere around my company." He said stepping out of the elevator, I also walked out of the elevator.
"You can't tell my boyfriend not to drop me at work, even my mother wouldn't do that." He stopped in his tracks and tilted his head to me.
"I will take your words as a mistake, I won't repeat myself." He said taking two big strides as he reached for the office door, I sighed going behind him only for my eyes to catch some flowers on my table. "who dropped this here?" Wolfie's deep baritone voice came up seeing the flowers, his questions were directed to Mariam and I didn't see the reason he was getting aggravated when the flower was not on his desk but mine.
"Oh sorry sir, a deliveryman was here earlier stating that he had this bouquet of white flowers for Miss Akira Ross, since she hasn't arrived at the office yet, I decided to receive it on her behalf..."
I dragged the bouquet on my desk, ignoring the rest of Mariam and Wolfie's conversation. I noticed a small card tucked between the roses. Opening it, I read the message aloud: “From your baby, Casper.” My cheeks turned pink, and Ma Mariam exchanged meaningful glances at me and Wolfie.
“Who allowed this?” he barked. His actions caught me off guard, causing my gaze to snap back at him. “This is a workplace, not a dating venue.”
I frowned, knowing he was already irritated with the flower on my table. “It’s just flowers, sir.”
“I want them gone. Trash them immediately,” Wolfie demanded without batting.
“What?” I protested. “These were a gift!”
“You’re not allowed to receive flowers from anyone during work hours,” he snapped, waving his hand for Mariam to leave.
I crossed my arms, fighting the urge not to lash at him. “He’s not just anyone. He’s my boyfriend.”
My defiance seemed to ignite something in Wolfie. His jaw clenched, and his eyes flared with anger.
In a swift motion, he grabbed my arm and pushed me toward the wall. My back hit the cold surface with a soft thud, I tried to scramble away but he anchored me with his weight.
“Do you think your personal life is more important than this company?” he growled, his voice low and menacing.
My breath caught in my throat, my heart pounding. “You’re overreacting,” I managed to say, my voice steady despite the tension and anger inside of me.
He held my gaze for a long moment before stepping back, his expression unreadable. “Keep your distractions out of my office,” he muttered.
"I don't see how having a boyfriend becomes a distraction to..."
"Akira stop it, I told you, I don't want any distraction in my office and I expect you, to obey and not question my actions and for goddess sake since when did you and Casper start dating? Are you trying to make me jealous again?" I move my gaze to his and it locks on mine, those piercing eyes that reminded me of his wolf and it makes me wonder if his wolf agreed with him to reject me. I shake my head, I don't want to think about it.
"Why would I make you jealous? We are over, you said it yourself and oh that stupid note said it all. That we have no relationship apart from employer and employee relationship and the last time, I wanted to talk to you, you said I should stay out of your business and that is what I am doing, and I..."
"I gave you forty-eight hours to tell him to stop whatever nonsense you two think you are doing." He said turning from me.
"You can't tell me what to do and I am not telling him to stop courting me, after all, I don't have a boyfriend."
"You do Akira." He growls grabbing my cheek and pressing it so hard.
"Yes, I do and it's Casper, and gosh, I am glad I am giving him a chance, instead of staying in a hookup relationship with some guy that would throw me out..."
"Akira, stop it, don't try to punish me for something that is not my fault."
"Not your fault? Punished you? I don't think so sir, why would I want to punish you, when we are not an item? If you don't mind, I want to be excused, boss." He moves his gaze to the roof, as my tone is a bit above normal and I have swatted his hand off my cheeks.
"I am sorry for what I said earlier but stop talking to me this way and stop referring to me as your boss,"
"I don't know how to behave around you or talk to you maybe you should tell me because the next thing it's you firing me or your girlfriend throwing shading things towards me." He shut his eyes as I tried to walk away he pulled me, pushing me back to the wall. "What now?"
"You know Akira, you drive me off the wall." He grabbed my arms and pinned them on the wall with his fingers caging my wrist.
"Let go of my hands..." I hike my body struggling to be free but the more my body comes in contact with him, the more, I feel strange and needy. "My boyfriend might appear any minute. Let me go."
"I don't care, screw him " he tied my hand with his tie and pushed it above my head "You are being naughty and you know I hate it," he pushed his hand to my waist and pulled me to himself, "I want you Akira and I can't stand Casper around you"
"Are you insane?"
"Yes, and I am going exceedingly crazy whenever I see you with anyone else" he smashed his lips against mine, sucking and nibbling my lips while his free hand found its way between my inner thighs. I moaned between our lips, "Good girl..." he commented, I hiked my body closer to his, wanting more, "Akira, you should know that I am the only one allowed to touch you like this." His lips move to my neck where his mark was before and he nibbles hard in there, "You are mine..." I gasped, "Tell me you are mine..." I parted my lips to say something that same moment the door opened and shut with a strong bang startling the both of us, Wolfie detached himself fast from me.
"Logan..."
