Chapter 033
Akira's POV
"Get into the car, I am bringing you to work." I bite my lower lips, then shut my eyes, I didn't expect him to be here waiting and even offering to drive me to the company, 'What the fuck is he up to?'
"Stop wasting my time..." his cold voice came up, and my feet moved voluntarily as I hurried to the Passenger's side of the car and pulled the door of the car, my heartthrob louder and I guess he could hear it.
Wolfie's eyes were fixed on the road and his fist was clenched on the steering wheel, the silence is killing me, I know I did wrong, I didn't mean to sleep on him, it just so happens, that fucking rain and storm had to show up unannounced and I had to make a fool of myself in front of him, I bit my lower lips as I fidgeted with my fingers. "I want to discuss something with you..."
My eyes flicked to his for a brief moment before returning to a spot on the floor, this was the moment where he had to show me the door and never open it to me, "I understand if you fired me..." I said quietly, not looking at his face.
He took a deep breath, clenching the steering wheel harder. He swings his neck side by side before he continues. "Akira, I need to address what happened between us last night." He saw my shoulders tense, then I moved my gaze to him.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean for any of that to happen, I swear, if I had known that the storm would come up, I wouldn't have come over and please don't think that I was taking advantage of you or I was using the opportunity to get closer to you, don't take it the wrong way, I didn't mean for any of that to happen. Please, don't fire me, I need this job more than anything, but if you think that you are no longer comfortable with me working with you, I will not hold it against you..."
"Do you think that I am that evil?" He asked, I shut my eyes, I couldn't answer that. I know he is cold and aloof and judging from other females that had worked with him, that didn't last up to a day, they will think he is a monster and evil but to me, he had never done anything bad and I am the only one practically doing all the evil things but I still get away with it. I shake my head.
"I don't think so, you haven't done anything evil to me."
"Fine, I want to make sure it doesn't affect our professional relationship." He added I moved my gaze to him.
"Does it mean that you are not going to fire me?" This time, I looked up, and my expression was a mix of confusion and apprehension, every time that I thought he was going to fire me, he amused me.
"Depends on how professional you are." He said still not looking at me, I smirked, as I let out a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Wolfie, I promise not to act unprofessional and I assure you, I won't let personal matters interfere with my work. I am not even interested in you, you are not my type." His jawbone clenched before he masked his expression, I twitched my lips, what a terrible liar. Of course, he is handsome and my type.
Wolfie nodded, and my eyes softened a bit, though the tension remained because I was sure he had something else to say, then suddenly the car came to a halt, and I tilted my head to him. "Get down..." My eyes dilated surprised as I looked at him, I wanted to assume that I didn't get what he said.
My gaze was focused on him and he repeated the same words, “Get down."
"What?" My brows furrow, "why?"
"We can't let anyone see us together at the company." I rolled my eyes, what was wrong with this CEO, did he even think before he acted? I hit my head on the seat headrest...
"I thought I was your girlfriend?"
"Fake girlfriend..." He corrected me, and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Fake? Real? Does it make any difference, if I am not seen around you, how am I supposed to act like your fake girlfriend, as you call it."
"I didn't say in the office, outside the office." He added. I huff and look at him.
"Fine, I know this is fake and I should act professionally around you in your office but gosh, we are still fucking far from the office and I will not be able to get a cab from here."
"And you will have to walk the rest of the blocks to the office." I shut my eyes and throw my head back, fuck I want to slap this handsome face of his.
"Okay fine..." I undid my safety belt. "I will walk to the company but don't blame me if I don't reach there on time."
"You wouldn't dare..." I move my gaze to him while glaring at him, but he ignores me, "Just remembered to keep whatever happened between us yesterday a secret." I rolled my eyes, getting down from the car, I banged the door, keeping it a secret as if something happened between us, why am I even apologizing? Girls wake up each day, sleeping awkwardly with men on top of them or them on top of men, what's the big deal as far as nothing happened, I don't see it as a fucking problem.
I kicked the tyre of his car, as he zoomed off, and I screamed, "Wolfie Logan, I hate you." Then my face crumpled, how the fuck am I going to walk this great deal, I sighed in frustration, just then my phone rang, I pulled my bag to bring out my phone, and I saw it was Mother. "Why the fuck is this woman calling me?" I press the end button, "don't you fucking call me." I growled and I was about to keep my phone when Vida's call came in. "Fuck... I forgot to call her last night." I murmured before taking the calls.
"Hey girlfriend, what happened, you didn't come home last night, I was worried for you. When I returned this morning your food was just lying there." I wiped the bead of sweat forming on my head.
"Sorry, I couldn't return your calls and I didn't come home yesterday, the storm was unbearable and I ended up showing my weakness in front of that punk of a boss."
"Wow... You slept at Logan's mansion?" Vida's voice was filled with excitement. "Tell me, does he still wear his mask at home? Is he hot like super handsome, go on and feed me." I huff, I rolled my eyes.
"Vida stops being dramatic, he is not handsome and are you even listening, I told you there was a storm, and you..."
"I know you are astrasphobic, why should I worry when you said Logan was there, his shoulder and arms are strong enough to protect you, so tell me. Did he cuddle you? Did he sing those lullabies that those aloof CEOs sing for the females they eventually fall in love with when they are distressed? Gosh, is his voice nice or cold when he sings?" I raised my head to the sky as the building came into sight.
"No..." I deny.
"You are lying, tell me, did he..."
"I will tell you later but for now, my feet ache," I said she didn't protest.
"Alright I will wait, just be careful, love you."
"Hate you like I hate him," I murmured before pushing the glass door. "Oh shit! Wolfie, I hate you for real." I scoffed. Here I thought he was being nice asking me to ride with him, "I am never going to let you trick me again." I managed to keep a steady movement but my feet are not helping.
"Akira..." I heard my name and my head snapped up.
"Hey, Casper, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Are you okay?" His voice was laced with concerned
"It's just my shoe. It..." Suddenly, my foot gave me away, I lost balance. The world seemed to slow as I stumbled forward, my arms flailing to catch something, anything, to steady myself. My heart raced but a strong arm shot out, wrapping around my waist and pulling my back to safety. I looked up, breathless, into the eyes of my rescuer.
