Chapter 130: A Drive with Him
Amaris POV
It was dawn, I couldn't get enough rest, the gifts from the so called fan work me up.
That's because he or she always rings the doorbell and vanish. Not even my alarm could wake me up but that doorbell always does.
Mia was probably gone, she always leaves early. I let out a yawn, stretching my hands and scrolling my eyes to the clock.
I had few minutes to prepare. How can I be late to work on my first day as his secretary.
Lazily, I rose from the bed to wash up and prepare for work. I was in a haste, leaving a mess in my room.
It made me recall Flynn who would have scolded me for the mess. I let out a smile and then scoffed.
Hastily, I got out of the house, forgetting to get the gifts inside and my feet headed for the crosswalk.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get a cab which was so frustrating. It wouldn't have been an issue but my boss had given me a task at hand to present a project to some Chinese investors.
My phone was beeping with calls and I almost cried not knowing how much lies i'd tell at once.
Rather than waiting, I began to walk but then a BMW suddenly halt beside me.
I was curious but kept walking but it seems it was following that I had to stop.
The tinted window drew down and there he was, Caleb.
I kissed my teeth, intending to walk away and not even wanting to listen to what he had to say.
"I'd bury my pride if I were you and get in"
I scoffed, and rolled my eyes. No way would I get inside with him.
"No!" I snapped, looking away as I hope I'd find a cab but it seems the drivers were against me today.
The sun was scorching, adding to my demise that I just had to stare at Caleb, with squinted eyes.
He still had that cold look, which obviously explains that he won't beg me to get in.
"Alright, but don't be late, I'd fire you and I heard getting a job is difficult now, you might end up dying from yearning" he coldly said and I placed my palm on my stomach.
Will he really fire me? He ignite his car to start a drive when I opened the door with a frown and jumped in.
I annoyingly slammed the door, he threw his gaze at me and I saw it, a smirk and I felt shy.
"Fasten your seatbelt, I don't want you dying from a ride" he snapped and I eyed him while doing that like I was forced.
I took a glimpse of him but he wasn't staring at me rather, his gaze was in the rear mirror.
I bite my lips, restless that I'd be riding the same car with him. Then last night wasn't an illusion, he just be staying close by.
While he drive, I kept stealing peeks of him but it seems he was too busy on the road.
I didn't even realize we've reached the company because I fell asleep. It felt like a long ride and he didn't even wake me up.
We both sat inside the car and when I realized, I could only gasp feeling more embarrassed.
He let me sleep off when we have a meeting with some investors. I widened my eyes and rolled them at him.
My expression was already asking him why he didn't wake me and from that look on his face, he understood.
"You should get some rest, I can't handle scandals that I don't treat my employees well" he said like I asked him for an explanation.
Quickly, I intended to get out when he said;
"Your hair is a mess, try getting it sought out" he said and I shut my eyes, trying not to explode with him right next to me.
I arranged my hair using a mirror, trying to look impressive. I brought out a lips stick to rub on dried lips and then perfume to spray over again that I could hear
Caleb coughing.
That serves him right. I hope he chokes to death.
"Are you trying to seduce the investors?" He mused dragging the perfume from me and throwing it to the back.
That's if the investors are still around because we're late than expected.
I gave him no response and just hop out of the car. My feet treaded inside the company as I faked a smile, hoping to meet the supposed investors.
I got to the conference room, the place we'd be having the meeting but if was empty.
The investors must have left disappointed that I never showed up. I'm not at fault, someone just didn't wake me up.
However, I was disappointed because I really prepared for this. Feeling sad, I intended to turn around when I bumped into Caleb.
He was just right behind me and my body yanked on him. Our lips almost touch if I hadn't duck my head.
His hands went around my waist and I felt my stomach twitches. Our eyes, stared at each other and a sided smile escaped his lips;
"Is this your way of seducing me?"
My brows pulled together as I tried to stand up straight but his arms were still on my waist.
My skin tingles at his touch as I couldn't breath and those eyes of him was making me get lost that I couldn't think of anything but just him.
"Let go!" I snapped and he did that immediately. I almost fell again and ended up grabbing a fistful of his collar just so I wouldn't fall.
His arms were now on my shoulders and he flirtly say:
"It seems you don't want to let go either"
A silent gasp left me as I was staring at his lips, a gripping sensation held me and I felt trapped with him.
Mixed emotions flushes inside me and only one thing becomes obvious, the fact that he makes my heartbeat.
