Chapter 8

"Miss Riya Kader, meet me in my office,15 minutes from now" He ordered in a demanding voice, his mini breath barely caressed my bare neck that sent me Goosebumps all over my body and with that he took his leave. Me and Juliet looking at each other not knowing what to say before we make our way back to the office.

Once I reached the building I inhaled a huge amount of oxygen to calm my burning lungs before heading towards his office. I need to cool my entire system before meet him otherwise I could lose my control over my body and will send him to hell without another thought.

Sighing heavily, I knocked on his office door before entering into his office once he said 'come in.' in his rude tone.

He was standing right there expecting my arrival. Well isn't he the one who has told me to meet him in the first place?.

His office was so large compared to mine. The wall was coated with the cream color which was suited for his personality. A beautiful flower vase was rested on his table beside his laptop.

Rather all the places were empty. No sofa, no chair, even there was no window. It totally looks like an empty shell like him.

That means am I going to stand here for the whole time? Ahhh! Whatever there is no doubt, he purposely did this.

He smirked at me when he noticed my confusing state. He would probably figure my perplexity.

I plastered a fake smile on my face and greeted him. "Well, tell me Mr. Miller. How can I help you?" I cooed.

He amusingly raised his eyebrows. Well, two can play a game. Can't they?

What does he think? Am I going to beg him to take me back? Then it could happen in his dream.

"Miss. Kader, I'm glad you are going to work for me and you know what, it's a pleasant surprise too. I didn't think that I would get some entertainment here." He started to praise his luck while I was mentally cursing him ten times worse than anyone could imagine.

"What can I say Mr. Miller. It's My bad luck but it's okay, I will manage. After all, I'm not tied up here in my whole life." I grinned at him showing all my teeth.

He seemed to taken aback of what I said. Most probably he wouldn't have expected the outburst from me.

But he recovered fast in a blink of an eye and acted so cool like a sea, then the evil smirk appeared on his face before he walked towards me, taking every step carefully like a hunter who is going to hunt his prey, making my heart thundering heavily against my rib cage.

He stood in front of me lightly bending forward leaving a mere inch distance between our face as our breath mingled in the air.

"It's been 4 years since I had seen you. I wonder how were you doing all those years-- without me. After all, you are a lost puppy who used to run around my legs." He whispered in my ear.

I inhaled deeply and smiled at him even though his every word stabbed me in my heart multiple times.

"Woah! Didn't you just say that 'I USED to run around your legs?' So that means 'Not anymore.' Right?" I raised my one brow at him.

He snarled and forcefully grabbed my arms. I wiggled and tried to shove his hand but his grip on my hand tightened. In a circular motion, he shoved me against the wall and pinned my hand above my head before growling once again like an animal.

I narrowed my eyes at him, daring him to do further. This time I'm not going to let him win over my willpower.

"You haven't changed a bit. Your challenging eyes want me to punish you harder than I think," he spoke huskily brushing his lips behind my ear.

I struggled to free my hand from his strong grip and tried to shove him away once again but no vain. He is so strong harder than a rock.

For these years, he has been changed a lot. His body has well built like a Model. He has a small beard on his face which brought a look of a perfect man on his face, but no one knows that beneath his muscular body, hides a heartless and emotional man?

"Don't ever think of yourself as a smart ass. We both know, it won't work. Got it!!." He yelled at my face.

I turned my gaze from him and looked anywhere else but him. "Can you please move? I feel uncomfortable with your proximity." I said boldly.

But he found another way. His hand went under my shirt and he squeezed my waist.

I felt anger built inside my body and I pulled him away with all my strength. He almost stumbled but somehow he balanced his steps and stood steadily.

"Don't ever touch me with those filthy hands of yours! you idiot." I spat and went to open the door, but he grabbed me by my shoulder and crashed his lips against mine taking me off an utter shock.

Everything went slow motion as to how his left hand held the back of my head while his right hand had a firm grip on both of my hands which was placed on his chest. He led the kiss furiously like a punishing kiss.

I tasted something salty on my mouth then I realized it was my own tears. For all those years I had built a wall to protect my dignity but which was broken apart in a second because of him. I hate it when I become weak in front of him.

He didn't break the kiss yet and I don't think he will stop anytime soon. It seems he is craving for the kiss. He bit my bottom lips asking for more but I didn't give what he wants, I will fight till the end cause it's worth than give up without a try.

Suddenly a door opened widely revealing Harith who was standing in the doorway with a Puzzle look on his face. I pulled him away and adjusted my shirt and wiped my lips by the back of my hands.

But he drew me closer against him and snaked his left hand around my waist. I struggled out of his grip but he squeezed the spot where he held and gave me a warning glare.

Harith looked us with a shocking expression then he grinned widely like a mad man.

"Bro! I don't think you are still into girls. Especially after the incident with your ex Chole..." but he stopped in his mid-sentence when he shot a dragger at him.

"Okay... Okay... I won't invade your personal life." he raised both hands as a surrender.

"Harith it's not what you think. I will explain." I tried to explain my points but again he squeezed my waist giving me unbearable pain. I'm damn sure it would have left a red mark on my waist.

"Harith, leave. Don't ever enter into my office without my permission- we need our privacy." He said the last part looking at me and dismissed him.

Harith muttered something under his breath and walked out of the office before closing the door behind him.

"What do you think you are doing?" I spat at him when the door was once closed.

"Chill baby! Just enjoy the moment. Don't say you didn't enjoy the kiss."

I looked at him with wide eyes. He hadn't changed a bit, still has that same cocky attitude which reminded me of the first day of our encounter.

I want to throw up when I remembered the intimacy I had with him. How blind I was? I already hate him a lot and today he has brought a valid reason to hate him even more before.

"It feels like I kissed a male whore" I honestly answered him and strode out of his office.

When I reached my office I saw Harith who was standing in front of my office. Leaning against the wall he looked at the ceiling, his hand was folded. Seems he was in his deep thought but once he saw my tear-stained face, his expression changed into concern.

"Hey! what happened gorgeous, You Okay!" he asked. I nodded my head and went inside my office. He too entered my office and closed the door behind him.

"I'm sorry, it's not my place to ask but I have no option. Do you know him?" he asked hesitantly.

I want to tell him 'no' but not after he saw us together in the mini lovemaking session. I inhaled deeply and wiped my face. "Yes, I knew him." I whispered.

Somehow his expression changed a bit but he recovered fast. His body tensed and he fisted his hands.

"Okay, I will leave then." with that he left my office.

The rest of the day flew blankly and I packed all my things and shoved it into my purse. My shift time was over and I want to pick Sweety from her school.

When I was about to leave my office, Juliet came and told me to meet the arrogant in his office.

What does he want now?!. I frustratingly walked into his room. I entered his office without knocking. He doesn't deserve any of the respect from me.

"Now what?." I folded my hand against my chest and asked him in my most calm tone. He didn't give me a glance, instead, he looked on his laptop screen with a frown on his face.

"What is this?" he threw a file and looked at me.

I picked the file from the floor and opened them. I didn't understand what's inside it and what the reason behind his anger.

"Mr. Miller, I don't know what into this. Can you please explain this?" I asked. Of course, I would never dare to ask if my boss was not him.

He stood up abruptly from his place and charged towards me like a lion. "Listen! Tomorrow morning, I want this file on my table without any errors. Otherwise, I'm not guarantees of my wrath." He whispered, yelled.

When I was about to protest, a door wide opened and a little boy came inside running towards him wearing his school uniform.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! I made everything clear. Hey! Hey! Hey! we are frndwws. Heyy! heyy!" the boy became to squeak jumping up and down.

I studied the boy's features one by one cause he seems so familiar. The boy was looked like almost Sweety's age and to say he was wearing the same uniform as Sweety's school. Whatever, it's not my business.

I turned my heels and walked out of his office without wasting any time. Grabbing all my belongings I left the building very excited to pick Sweety from her school.

---

"Baby how was your school?" I asked once I made her snacks and tea. "I loved it." She replied in her baby voice.

I took the seat beside her on our sofa and drew her small frame closer to me.

She gave me a toothless grin and turned her attention on the TV. "Run! run! run!" she shrieked when Tom caught Jerry. It is her favorite show.

"Sweety Baby, Did the boy make any troubles today?" I asked worriedly.

She shook her head as 'no'. "No mom. He was nice today. He even apologized and now we are friends!!" Her face lit up with happiness. "We shared our lunch. He liked your cooking." She narrated one by one. She seems so happy.

Thank God! at least my prayer was heard.
