People might think I seduced you into collaborating on a project with Smith Enterprise!” She said, referring to the fact that she walked into Cross Enterprise without an appointment and even asked the receptionist to deliver an envelope to the CEO."I will fire anyone who dares to badmouth you. But it wouldn’t be a bad idea if you could seduce me to accept proposals. How about we start now?" He wrapped his arms around her waist, tugging her to him with a grin on his face.Eva sighed in her head, knowing that she would be entering the dragon's cave if she eventually married Damien but she had no choice. "Let go of me and let the employee in. It must be something urgent." She said and pushed his chest for distance."It better be." He grumbled something under his breath. He was prepared to not only have the employees who dared to interrupt him fired but cut off the employees he
Damien easily shifted Eva from his lap to sit beside him before he stood up from the couch and assisted Eva up to her feet again. “What are you trying to do now?" Eva raised a brow and asked him.Damien ignored her question and walked with her to his big desk. He sat down on the black enormous, emperor looking chair and pulled Eva again to sit on his laps.“What are you doing, Mr. Cross?" She asked again, trying to release his grip off her but to no avail as she was sitting on his lap again. She had an inkling of what he was trying to do but couldn't help but ask.“I have to work." Damien curtly replied."Okay, I understand that. But why did you drag me here? Since you have work to do then I will just go now. Besides, I've already handed in what I came here for.” Eva spoke, she tried to stand up again but Damien's grip around her was firm, making her sigh in helplessness.“Don't be stubborn and stay still. I have to confirm what you brought.” Damien gently muttered very close to her
“I-I came here to deliver this to you directly.” She mumbled gently." Is that so?” With that said, he dragged her towards the couch and sat down while placing her on his lap. Even though he spoke coldly and indifferently to her, he still treated her gently with care.“You came in with an envelope. What did you want to show me?" He asked her, pulling back a bit to finally give her some space. But he didn’t let her go very far and kept her securely seated on his lap."Let go of me first. We can talk on the couch." She told him as she awkwardly squirmed on his lap, wanting to sit on her own. She tugged at his arms that had caged her in and kept her from moving.His gaze darkened as desire filled him. Did she not realize that she was sitting on a delicate part of his body?"You can tell me what it is right here." He said to her, refusing to let go."How can you read like this?" She rolled her eyes as she referred to their position, leaving almost no room for anything to come in between.
"Look at me." He ordered, not wanting her to jump to conclusions anymore.She refused to listen and dared to look away from him, making a loud "Hmph!"His eyes narrowed when he saw how stubborn and childish she was behaving."There is a limit to my patience." He warned her, despite the fact that his brain was screaming at him for saying something so foolish. Was there a limit to his patience? Yes. But was there a limit when it came to this daring girl in front of him? There was none.A simple rejection like this was enough to cause a sharp stabbing pain to spread in his chest. But regardless of his frustration, the overwhelming affection he had for her was enough to suppress his anger.The moment she had stepped foot in his office, it seemed that the sleepless night he had endured with her running through his mind had vanished. It was then that he realized just how much of a tight grip she had on his heart."I don’t care about your stupid patience. Let me out!" She demanded, refusing
Racheal snuck a glance at her handsome boss. She always thought it was strange how he treated her better than most of his employees. Her colleagues had all pointed it out before. They would tease her that it was because he liked her since she was never in danger of being fired or harshly scolded. Not even the Ice King, Eric and the Sky king, Shane, had disciplined her before!Unknowingly to her, both Shane and Eric had only ignored her mistakes because they knew their boss’s plan of organically growing his own subordinates.Damien only favored her a bit more than the rest of his secretaries because her behavior and attitude truly resemble that stubborn child from the past…Racheal bent down a bit to properly examine the contract. "Oh, there’s another one here." She said, pointing to the top of the page. Her hair fell beside her face, and she pushed it back, revealing her tiny face and sharp jawline. With her neckline revealed, a soft and sweet scent exuded from her, but Damien didn’t
When Racheal got to the front of Damien's office, she nodded her head politely and sweetly greeted Mary who was sitting behind her desk.“Hello, Mrs. Mary." She greeted her mentor. “Ah, Rachel, it's you. I see that the others have prepared what the boss asked for and they've made you the scapegoat again.” Mary gestured at the files and documents she was holding. She was already aware of the nature of Damien's personal team workers."Haha, I guess so.” "Anyways, you can drop them here. I will take it to him.” Mary replied, gesturing to her to drop everything on her desk."No, I can take it to him. You seem busy as well.” Racheal shook her head. "Okay then, just be careful Racheal. The boss isn’t in a good mood this morning." Mary warned her."I know." She slowly nodded and made her way to the office before knocking on the door.Just then, a gruff voice can be heard from inside the room. "Come in."She pushed the door open while balancing a stack of paper on one hand and a cup of cof
Cross Enterprise, Top Floor"Where is the report that the boss wanted this morning?""It’s being photocopied right now and will take two more minutes-""We can’t afford those two minutes. He wants it now!""It’s not like I can rush the machine!""Well, do something about it!"The employees on the top floor scrambled to get all of their paperwork done as soon as possible. The usually quiet and organized office was in complete chaos. Since yesterday, their boss had become more demanding and unpredictable. Everyone was kept on their toes at the idea that they would suddenly get fired."Why is the coffee machine not working today out of all days. The boss wants his coffee and he wants it now!" A secretary cried out in panic, unable to work with the stress and pressure on her shoulders. The separate room for Damien’s personal team was doubly chaotic with people fighting over who gets to use the copy machine first, and people walking back and forth to compile files from their report.“I tho
Eva sighed was aware that like most big companies, the structure of Cross Enterprise would be similar to the one in her grandfather’s company. The higher one’s office was located in the building, the more powerful and outstanding their position was. Aside from the people from the security team, only the receptionists were on the ground floor and they were usually rankless.She knew that if anyone adhered to her request, it would result in their immediate expulsion and they could also possibly be blacklisted.Eva knew it would be pointless to continue pestering the receptionist and saw the obvious relief on the receptionist’s face when she politely thanked her without making any unreasonable demands.With another heavy sigh, she could only walk away and think of an alternative. But she didn’t want all her effort to be in vain, so she pulled out her phone and saw if there was anyone she could call that wasn’t Damien. Probably she would have to call Lawrence to help her out since his inf
************On her way to the Cross Enterprise, Eva couldn't help but wonder if it would be weird to directly stroll into the Cross Enterprise building to deliver something to their CEO.A definite voice in the back of her mind was quick to speak up and reprimand her for being so dumb. "Yes, idiot. It would be weird." She said to herself, blaming her delirious thoughts on the fact that she hadn’t had breakfast yet. Why didn't she think about this thoroughly before telling Lawrence that she would take it.There was no going back now, since she had already collected the document. “I definitely haven't been thinking straight ever since I woke up from that damn nightmare." She muttered under her breath. Unconsciously, she thought back to the dream she had and it was about her getting humiliated in public by Mark while she became the joke that had everyone insulting and mocking her.‘ I don't deserve to be treated like that. Even if I'm an evil person, I shouldn't be brought down like tha
