Chapter 1
Auden called me into his office moments ago, and I had been thinking we were going to go through some files together because we are supposed to be leaving for a meeting in a few hours time, but he had started to kiss me, a few minutes into the meeting, and I had surrendered to the kiss without any hesitation. My legs had wobbled after some time, right before he lifted me into his arms, all the way to one of the tables in his office.
Just when I was expecting him to drive me to heaven with his magical lips, a shrill sound pierced the almost silent office. I jolted upwards, my heart beating fast in my chest. I sat up the second Auden hands released their strong hold on my hips as he went towards his main working desk.
Turns out it was his phone that disrupted what we were about to do a minute ago. With my heart still beating fast, I jumped off the desk and wobbled a little on my heels – heels I didn’t even remember I still had on. I stood up and glanced around the office while I ran my fingers up and down my arms which were enveloped in goosebumps due to the air conditioner which was turned on to it’s highest volume. I didn’t even know I was cold when Auden and I were doing the dirty, I guess some sexual tension gave no room for any other thoughts except the present.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
I walked towards my skirt and picked it up then decided to wear it back since I wasn’t in the mood again like I was a few minutes ago. Just as I was zipping up my skirt, Auden’s sharp voice made me recoil in fright.
I turned around on my heels until I was facing in his direction – only he wasn’t even looking at me, which means his anger wasn’t directed at me but at the person on the other side of the phone.
“So where is she right now?” He barked into the phone as he ran his fingers through his hair and in the next second, he was pulling on the long strands in obvious frustration.
I didn’t know what to do at that moment – was I supposed to walk towards him and pick up my blouse from the floor beside his main desk where he was currently standing in with his phone positioned on his ear or was I supposed to stand in the same spot stupidly in my heels, my skirt and my bra while I try to hopefully sink into the ground to avoid his upcoming anger which I could already feel.
I decided on the latter since I just can’t walk towards him to get my shirt, what if he transferred his anger on me on sight? I’d rather stand here in my bra, no matter how stupid I appear.
“Don’t tell me to calm down! Tell me where the fuck she is!” Auden roared angrily while I jumped again in fright, his fingers drumming on the table without any particular rhyme and in the next second, his fingers were slapping against his thighs.
It seemed like I was going to sneak past him in just my bra and escape to my own office which was just outside this office, at least in there, I’d be able to escape his barely held anger.
Just as I was done convincing myself to walk towards the door and away from him, Auden’s chillingly cold voice stopped me once again, but it wasn’t a cold shout this time, it was a cold but quiet “Okay. I’ll be there soon.”
I shivered a little in fright, as I felt bad for whoever was on the other side of the phone.., it felt like something bad had happened, like something really bad had happened and it was not a good thing at all.
The sound of his phone hitting the table made me snap my head up in that direction – Auden threw his phone on the table the moment the call ended. He raked his fingers through his hair and let out an anguished sound before leaning over the desk as if he was in pain.
I took a tentative step towards him and stopped in my tracks when he suddenly lifted up from his bent position over the table and slanted me an angry glare.
I tried apologizing or just saying something but my throat seemed to have a mind of its own because nothing came out from my parted lips, it just kept opening and closing and repeating the motion again like I was a remote controlled zombie.
“What are you still doing here?” Auden barked, his facial expression getting darker and darker every second and at that very second, I knew that something really bad had happened – and he was shutting down all his emotions immediately and in the process, shutting me out and pushing me away.
Now don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t like he was in love with me or I was in love with him, I mean… heck, we just met four days ago which was on a Monday morning the moment I got promoted to my current position to work with the owner of the company. We weren’t in love with each other, but at least there was a little bit of likeness already blooming between us and I was a hundred percent sure the feeling was mutual.
Something bad must have really happened to have caused this, but I wasn’t a fool and I wasn’t senseless. I knew when I wasn’t wanted in a particular place anymore so I didn’t bother replying to his question , instead I walked towards him slowly, ignoring his gaze the whole time until I was standing beside him.
“Um, you’re standing on my shirt.” I mumble quietly, not bothering to glance up. He looked down and stepped off my shirt immediately without saying a thing. I bent and picked the shirt up, dusting the shirt Incase dirt had somehow managed to cling on it but nothing fell off. I shoved my arms into the shirt and buttoned it up quickly before carefully walking towards the door inter-joining his office with mine.
I stepped out and closed the door quietly behind me, a sick feeling clouding my mind as I made my way towards my seat and sank down into the chair. I felt uncomfortable immediately due to the wet panties slick against my core in an uncomfortable way. I stood up and made my way outside my office and down the quiet hallway with my heels resounding on the beautifully tiled floor until I got to the female bathroom before making my way into it and into a stall.
I took off my wet panties and cleaned myself up until I felt a little comfortable. The annoyingly wet panties stared at me from it’s spot on my left hand. I tore out another longer round of tissue and wrapped it around the panties before shoving it into the waste bin and making my way out of the bathroom.
It felt awkward walking around without my panties on and the cool air blowing around and ghosting over my core was hella awkward and uncomfortable but it was better than me walking around with wet underwear and in the process, getting the wet underwear to soak through until it affects my skirt.
I pushed on the door handle leading back into my office just as my boss, Auden, pulled on it from the inside. Our eyes locked – my cool green colored eyes against his clear blue eyes. He was fucking taller than me, my head was just reaching his chest with me still in my heels – I don’t want to imagine where I’d be reaching him without my heels on.
When he kept looking at me, his face still baring an angry scowl, I moved aside immediately and he passed my side without saying a word to me, I guess something was really, really wrong.
I stepped inside the office and closed the door behind me, praying to God that nothing really, really bad had happened.
