Loving You

Chapter 05|

NICHOLAS’S POV:

This girl will be the death of me one day!

The slight blush that crept on her cheeks was enough to stop my breath. She struggled to free herself from my grip.

Not so fast baby girl!

“ Mr.Moretti Leave me-e pleas-e” She stammered. A smirk formed on my face and I left her waist. She got up and questioned “ Why did you call me here “. I replied “ I wanted to see you “

Her eyebrows raised as I continued “ and check if you are doing just fine.Did you assembled my schedule”. “ Umm it's almost done Sir. I will bring it to you once I complete it”. She replied nervously, fidgeting her fingers. Her nervousness was justified as I was known for my strictness and punctuality towards work. I would prefer to die a painful death rather than raising my voice on my baby.

“ Take your time. Don't get too hard on yourself ” I said,my voice soft and barely even recognizable. A shocked yet confused expression formed on her face though she nodded and left leaving her vanilla scent behind.

After a few hours she came back with a big file in her hand. The once open hair was tied into a loose ponytail which increased the urge in me to wrap my hands around that and kiss the life out of her. She came forward and said professionally “ Mr.Moretti your schedule”. I replied firmly “ Bring it to me”. She walked up to my chair, placing the document on my desk. As she leaned in, her hair brushed against my face, carrying a scent so intoxicating it could bring even the demon to his knees.My eyes as a reflex closed inhaling her scent but instantly opened once she stood up straight.

Then she started explaining my schedule while I once again got lost in the beauty of her face.A few loose strands of her smooth, shiny hair fell across her face, and the soft light on her cheeks made her look nothing less than a goddess. I never wanted this moment to end. She cleared her throat which ended the moment. “ Thanks I will review it and let you know shortly” I uttered, shifting my eyes to the document and back at her. She needed a break as she had been working constantly for the past two hours and explaining the schedule required a lot more time. Don't get me started on the things that needed change . An angry pout formed on her lips as she forced a smile on her face and left, leaving me in confusion.

What did I do wrong?

AMELIA’S POV:

What The f**k Does He Think Of Himself?

For the past two hours I worked tirelessly on that document and spent half an hour constantly explaining it not caring about my throat. And he didn't even let me finish. Let alone finish, he didn't even listen to me properly and instead just stared at me.

As if you didn't like it b***h! My mind gave me a quick reality check as I recalled the moment. A smile formed on my lips. He looked at me the way every girl wants to be looked at. I softly hit my head and said within” He is just my boss. Don't make him a part of your fictional men. You already have a lot”.

Just as I was invested in my thoughts,I felt a hand on my shoulder and Sarah’s bright face came in front of my eyes as I turned back. “ Don't sit alone Lia Join us “ She offered and before I could even react she held my hand and stretched me to her table. “ So this is Jacob and Jacob this is Amelia-the one I told you about”. Greeting and shaking hands with him I sat on the table. We were sitting in the cafeteria right now. The three of us started talking and I actually enjoyed their company. I loved Sarah’s flirty side and Jacob’s mature side. They were perfect for each other. All of a sudden a waiter came and placed a cheese burger and coke on the table and left within the blink of an eye. A notification popped up.Unlocking my phone I read the message that made my hands tremble.

Enjoy Your Meal Angel

Immediately I roamed my eyes all over the cafe. There was no one there yet I felt someone staring at me. “ All okay Lia” Sarah asked, putting her hand on my shoulder. I shifted my gaze to her and nodded, forcing a fake smile on my face like I always do. Once again they started talking while my mind was occupied with multiple questions. I decided to ignore it. It's probably someone messing with me. To distract myself I started gossiping with them. They told me everything they knew about every employee.

Finally I found someone who likes to gossip the same way as me. They then discussed the aggressive and cold nature of Nicholas. How he used to fire his employees if they did not submit the work assigned to them on time! Though I was a bit confused as he never raised his voice at me. I told them about our interactions obviously not the part when I falled on him, making them shocked. Their eyes wide opened as both muttered” What The f**k “. Jacob said” You must have casted a spell on him then because there is no way he didn't scold you when you failed to stick to the schedule.He fired his previous PA because of this factor ". Sarah just looked at me like I was some sort of an alien from another land. Rolling my eyes at her I looked at the time.

Shit! The meeting with the investors is in five minutes!.

I bid bye to them and raced towards the conference room.Mr. Moretti stood there just outside the office, his coat in his hand and sleeves rolled up revealing his perfect veiny hands. He looked so hot! Focus Amelia Focus. It's your first meeting. Don't screw it up!.

“ Sir, the meeting file” I said. He looked at me and took the file from my hands,his touch ignited a spark in my heart. “ Make sure to take notes Ms.Williams” He said in his cold yet seductive tone. I nodded because It was much more appropriate. I couldn't attempt to stammer in front of him again and show how his voice affects me. Soon after the investors arrived Mr.Moretti entered inside while I followed him like an obedient secretary.

The meeting started and it was boring as hell. Writing the notes was the only thing that kept me going otherwise I would have slept a long time ago. Who the f**k even invented meetings ?

I felt one of the investors staring at me with nothing but lust. Every minute of that meeting was really uncomfortable for me.The torture was finally over after two hours . I stood up as soon as Mr.Moretti did.

That man appeared again, blocking my path halfway. He introduced himself with a hand extended toward me, his creepy grin sending a shiver of discomfort down my spine. Before I could do anything Mr.Moretti came in between and held his hand firmly and pressed it strongly. I could feel the anger building inside him. He punched that man and kept on punching him, Blood oozed out of his face as he whimpered and begged for his mercy.He growled hitting his stomach” How dare you misbehave with her” People stood there watching. No one did not stopped Nicholas which is why I stepped in between and shouted “ Nich please leave him” A tear left my eye unknowingly. His fiery gaze shifted to me, the once anger changed into something softer. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the crowd not before ordering the guards to throw him out . Bringing me to his office he hugged me. I was trembling with fear because I had never experienced such violence. His hug was comforting unlike his behavior before that scared me to death. I wrapped my arms around his neck. At that moment, I didn’t care that he was my boss; all that mattered was that we both needed that sense of peace and comfort.

He left me once I stopped sobbing. “Are you fine Amelia”. I nodded, wiping my tears. He advised me to go home and rest. I could feel people staring at me with questionable gaze but they all averted their gaze when Nicholas shot them a deadly stare and said” Get Back To Work”

Sitting in the driver’s seat, I drove home, my mind preoccupied with countless questions. By the time I reached my house, the sun had long been replaced by the calm glow of the moon.

I parked the car and was about to enter my house when, all of a sudden, someone grabbed me from behind and covered my mouth. Panic surged through me as I struggled against his grip, every instinct screaming at me to escape, but my attempts were futile.

Out of nowhere, I heard a sharp noise, and the next thing I knew the man was lying on the floor,blood pooling out of his body. A loud scream left my mouth as I glanced at the dark shadow standing at a distance with teary eyes.

Before I could process everything, darkness consumed me and I fell on the ground.
