Chapter 009
Akira's POV
"Akira, give me one thousand reasons why, I wouldn't fire you because, at this point, your services are no longer needed by me, you are fired."
Mr. Wolfie's voice was filled with anger. His gaze was very close to mine, it was bad enough that his breath was fanning my face and now his eyes were piercing mine.
"Did you hear me? I said you are..." I burst into laughter, cutting him off before he said the last words, a peal of laughter filled the room and I watched as his eyebrows furrowed.
"Sorry, I am sorry." I tried to control my emotions, yet I couldn't, the more I tried the more that laughter kept escaping my throat, and he glared at me.
"Be quiet." He growled and then my laughter suddenly came to a halt, my gaze moved to him.
"You can't fire me." My voice came as a shock to him and myself as well but I masked my feelings. it makes his eyebrows deeper. "As far as I remember, the person I called my boyfriend, was a man with a mask and not the man that is standing in front of me who is not wearing a mask, if you weren't in a mask, there is no way that I could approach you. You clearly were on a mask, so your identity is hidden, so stop acting like I took undue advantage of you because if I had the slightest idea that you were the one, I would not have committed that blunder, and gosh, I can't possibly refer to someone like you, as my boyfriend." I said that part in disgust like falling in love with him is something despicable, I watched his eyebrows furrow before he masked his feelings and then glared at me.
"Also I told you, that I was going to compensate you for your fuel and the inconvenience. Let's behave like professionals, I read through the memo and I didn't see anyone of my supposed offense written there as a ground for being fired and everything that happened wasn't within working hours, so if you want to fire me because you think I am having feelings for you then you are been biased because I don't see you as a man." I repeated my disgust towards him.
"Hmm! You seemed to be vast with the employment contract between us and now that you think that I couldn't fire you because none of my charges against you are stated there, but still you are guilty of slender." He stepped closer, closing the little space that was between us, 'Gosh, my heart is about to explode, why is he coming too close? Was he trying to intimidate me or what? I stood my ground, I was not going to let him.
"Just tell me what to do so I can erase the thought of you firing me in your head? I freaking need this job." I watch his eyes shut suddenly and then inhale deeply, 'What is he doing?' I asked mentally, 'Was he sniffing me?' my brain was still in terror 'cause, I don't get what he is trying to do.
"What the heck are you doing?" I snarled at him, knowing that his nose was almost buried in my neck nook. My hand went to his chest as I tried to push him away from me, it's bad enough that we were close and his sweet perfume was erupting in my nostrils, his scent was already driving me crazy and now he was going to suffocate me with it, the proximity was killing me and I am beginning to doubt if I could keep a front face that he doesn't affect me.
"Why do you smell so unique?" He whispered leaning closer instead of going further away from me. I got the urge to knee him on the balls but that will be another offense and scent? Unique? I don't think I have any unique scent on me.
Leaving him so close will make me do something stupid, so I take a step backward pulling from him, "Sir, I hope you do not intend to trick me by saying that I smell awful and that we make you fire me then you have something coming because I do not smell awful."
Mr. Wolfie steps backward, realizing what he is doing. He didn't take long before he distanced himself from me and in a few strides he was back behind his desk and sitting on his chair with a face void of emotions.
"If you could use me then I should be able to use you as well and then we could call that even." I looked at him confused before he parted his lips. "You see, I have new terms and conditions for you to continue working here, but that will only depend on your answer. I am not going to force you but if you do not wish to continue working here, you are free to decline and use the door..."
I swallowed hard, before I found my voice, "What do you want?" The impatient me couldn't keep quiet.
"You will be my plus one in a party that I will be attending by the weekend. And you will have to go anywhere that I go..." I move my gaze to him.
"Now, you are going to blackmail me." I was fuming inside, like a hurricane about to explode.
"You started this and you put me in a tight corner, and you don't want me to appear in that party with another girl and everyone end up thinking that, I am a man whore who couldn't control his..." My eyes bulged as my hand raised subconsciously and blocked my ear, I didn't want to hear that word, and he smirked, probably because he found my act amusing.
"And please don't flatter yourself, you are not the kind of girl that I wanted and you should erase every silly and dirty thought from your head because this is purely business. No strings attached. You can work here and enjoy all the benefit that comes with it but you shouldn't make the mistake of falling in love with me because the day, I found out that you are falling for me, you will be fired.”
I almost wanted to laugh at his last words but I pinned my lips together as I was convinced that I was not going to fall for him. I was going to take it as pure business with no strings attached even though he is handsome but then my brow furrows what if it involved more than what meets the eye because he was sniffing me badly and his behaviors looked odd?
I shut my eyes, I don't think he had any scandal before now apart from the one I just created for him or maybe, there is but I have no idea who he is because I don't pay attention to those lifestyles of popular people but I am still scared, I do not want to let another man into my heart, after what Ethan did to me, I should be scared of them. He is still a man, the offspring of Adam.
"What is your reply? Did you agree or not?"
"Like, now?" I asked, I wasn't expecting him to demand a reply right now.
"Go on, tell me, is it a yes or a no?"
