CHAPTER 7

Ana jolted and quickly made way to the car

Sebastian stared at her for a while before also entering the car as the alien feeling in his ribcage disappeared

Anastasia maintained a safe distance from the man who hated being touched as she didn't want to push her luck further than she already had

She couldn't help but curse at her Ill luck as she had mapped out different ways she would use to get closer to him since the time he had offered her a lift, but someone had decided to cast an evil eye on her so early in the morning

He stared at her changing facial expressions as she seemed caught up in her own little world, she looked a bit more cute than yesterday when they bumped into each other

Then he looked back at the space in-between them and frowned although he had no idea why he felt upset at her silence and the distance she was trying to create

' what are we? Practicing social distancing now, after last night?' he thought to himself

"Why the space, you look uncomfortable" Seb said as he stared at his phone

Ana looked at him as she felt her body stifen then she shifted towards him while still maintaining a healthy amount of space

"Hmm"

She nervously flashed a smile and shifted towards him again. 'I thought he hated people touching him, isn't it obvious I'm trying not to get close to him'

Sebastian looked at her then looked back at his phone and then curiously looked at her again when he noticed she was secretly trying to shift back to her former position

But he didn't react instead he placed his phone back in his pocket and calmly yet sexily tapped his finger on his thigh

Ana breathed a breath of relief as she thought he had no clue of what she had done

With one smooth swif of his hand he pulled her closer to him

Ana immediately felt like a cat that had been pored chilled water as she slowly turned her head to face him looking dumbfounded as she was inches from his body

She could feel goosebumps all over her body and she gulped hard

The driver trembled at the sight of what he had just witnessed through the rear mirror

The ice king touched a woman, not only did he offer a woman a ride he also touched her, what was going on with his boss

Seb shot a cold glare to the driver through the rear mirror and the man immediately had his eyes back in the road then he calmly looked at Ana

"You said I am your boyfriend?"

The drivers eyes shot up as he felt he was about to have a heart attack 'Boss? Your boyfriend? Are you mad? Who in there right mind would want to date this man?'

Ana coughed " Ehhh, yes I mean no I mean Mr Philip said I shouldn't expose who you really are and that was the most logical excuse I could think of on the spot"

"I mean Miss Lara is a social butterfly, I didn't want her snooping around so that's why I said that, it was between telling her that or telling her you're poor which is hard to believe, I mean didn't you see how people were staring at us"

Sebastian stared into her eyes as if he were trying to pry into her soul " my attention was on you, I didn't notice the peasants"

Ana felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter by the minute as she stared at the man who had said he hated being touch by people just a while ago

'wait is he trying to, No way, is he flirting with me? Or am I just thinking too much, I mean he sounded so innocent' Ana thought to herself

Sebastian stared at her as her cheeks kept on getting rogue and her expressions kept changing as if she was having an internal fight with the voices in her head

To divert her mind from thinking too much about what her boss had just innocently said to her she looked outside the window her gaze fixated in nothing in particular

"Hmm"

"What are you thinking about?" He asked under his breath

"Oh it's nothing boss, I was just wandering about how my brother is doing right now" she answered he gaze still fixed in the passing buildings

Sebastian's grip on his phone tightened "what happens if you never see your brother again"

"Meaning?" Ana snapped her head towards Sebastian

"You said your brother was working on a mafia case, what if they caught him and he is under their captivity or worst case scenario dead" He answered coldly

Ana felt her blood run dry as she heard the venomous words that were thrown at her from a stranger she had only just met

'who does this man think he is, how dare he? Just because he is handsome and I like him doesn't make him entitled to hitting my feeling is this way'

Stifling back her tears Ana stared at his angelic face for a while "Drop me"

"Why?" Sebastian said as he turned to look at Ana that was when he noticed her moist eyes

"Anastasia are you okay?"

'Am I okay? is this man mad?'

Gritting her teeth she replied "How dare you speak of my brother that way who do you think you are?"

"Stop the car"

The driver couldn't help but gulp fearfully while Sebastian was taken aback by the girls sudden outburst as he didn't understand what he had said wrong

"Pull over" he calmly said and the driver did as instructed

Ana immediately left the car and all Sebastian could do was helplessly stare at her trembling silhouette in confusion
