Chapter 3

Isabella's POV

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?

I quickly pulled away and pushed his chest away. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and lifted my head to look at him with anger.

He seemed to be shocked, like the rest of the crowd. I guess he wasn't used to this type of behavior from women.

Cocky bastard.

"That," I pointed my index finger at him then poked his chest slightly. "was a mistake that won't happen ever again." I was growling. Yes, growling, with furiosity.

He didn't say anything or do anything when I turned around and walked away with fast steps.

I took a deep, deep breath when I entered my house and closed the door behind me. Still shocked, angry and confused by the events that happenned minutes ago with him.

Adrian West had kissed me for fuck's sake!

I quickly went to my room and threw myself on my bed with relief of finally being home and away from that crazy man. But I couldn't just lay there. I had to do something to get my mind out of this whole kissing thing.

I stood up and went to my closet room to choose an outfit for tomorrow. I liked shopping so I had bunch of clothes in my closet. Not expensive clothes, just clothes that looked expensive when I added my touch to them.

After an hour of searching for the best outfit, I had my mind cleared and relief running inside in my veins. I chose a black pencil skirt which wasn't short, it ended a little above my knees. For the top, I had a cream, satin shirt with only the first button opened. I wore really small pearls as earings and a thin necklace which had one small pearl in the middle. For the heals, I chose again cream, stilettos. Lastly, my hair was tied up, my curls making the ponytail look su much better.

I slowly removed the outfit from my shivering body and hung them to the closet door neatly. Now that I was ready, I had to eat something because finding an outfit had gotten me exhausted and hungry.

Food!

Beep. Beep. Beep.

My alarm clock's irritating sound filled the room as I slowly opened my eyes to feel the sunlight piercing through my eyes. Lifting my head, I turned the alarm off and stood up to get ready for the first day of my new job.

Then the scenes of us kissing played in my head all of a sudden.

Forget about it.

I shook my head to snap out of my thoughts and went downstairs. My breakfast didn't last long since I ate only cereal. After that, I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth and wore my outfit.

I grabbed my black purse, put my phone, my house keys in it. Lastly I took my computer bag which had all of the needed files, checked if I had my car keys with me then got out of the house to hop into my car and go.

I turned on the radio, and started to sing along.

Parking my car, I stepped out of it to stare at the huge building of West Holdings with my mouth open wide.

No, no, no, no!

It couldn't be Adrian West's. I didn't know if he had a holding called 'West Holdings' but it just made sense that he was the CEO. I didn't want him to be my boss.

Panic rushed through my body. My breathing sped up as I blankly stared at the building.

Calm down. I'm sure he's not your boss. His holding's name is prbably different. Calm the fuck down, Isabella.

After I comforted myself, I took a step inside and came face to face with really beautifully designed walls, tables, chairs. Oh, can't forget to mention the chandelier.

The place was breathtakingly huge and mesmerizing.

There was a girl behind the information desk. I probably had to ask her what I was going to do next so I started walking towards her.

She stood up when she saw me. She was a brunette and wore a skirt that didn't even reach her butt. Her boobs were almost popping out of the shirt she was wearing and her face didn't seem quite real. "You must be Mr. West's new personal assistant. I'm Cher."

Mr. West? Oh hell no.

I tried to keep a decent face on. "Yes, I'm Isabella. Nice to meet you." We shook hands with smiles on both of our faces.

"Well, Mr. West's office is on the tenth floor and yours is right next to his. My friend will guide you." Right when she said that, a young boy came in sight.

"Hi, I-I'm Ryder." He was frozen in front of me, looking nowhere but my face.

"Hello. Isabella." I held out my hand for him to shake it but he just kept his frozen state. He came back to life when Cher elbowed him.

"O-oh sorry." He shook my hand shyly and gestured me to go first. I nodded as in saying 'thank you' and started walking in the way he led me.

We got into the elevator and I realized that he was nervous. He also looked young.

"How old are you?" I asked.

"Nineteen." My eyes widened at his response. He really was young.

"Don't you have school?"

"I-I only work when it's summer." He kept on stuttering.

"Am I scary?" I couldn't stop myself from asking the question because he hadn't stopped staring at me since the time we shook hands.

"No! You are just so... uh... b-beautiful." He lowered his head and blushed a bit. Cute.

"Oh, why, thanks I guess-"

Ding!

The elevator interrupted our conversation. The doors opened and I saw two doors which were far away from each other. On the left, there was an office with walls made out of glass and on the right there was another office which I couldn't see the inside.

The glass one had to be my office.

Wow... huge.
