HIS TO COMMAND

CHAPTER FIVE

It was a lady. Gosh, she looks like model. Not just any random model, the type that'll make anyone worship the group she walks on.

Her Amazonian height enhance with those black neon heels, her curves perfectly sculptor into her cherry red mermaid gown. The matte makeup gives her a glorious finishing.

I usually don't care about how I look, I just pick a top and a pant, but seeing this lady, I felt shabby.

Hi, you must be Tristan's new assistant, I'm hoping he told you about me, the lady said with a captivating smile.

Oh--, yes ma'am, he- he did, but Mr Grey's out at the moment, you could sit in the guest lounge and wait for him, I'll inform you immediately he gets here, I replied her still stuck by her beauty.

Was she his girlfriend, it could be. Why else will he ask her to wait for him, he usually don't have time for people. I feel sorry for her though, with this beauty, she should find someone who will value and respect her not that self centred jerk.

I am Elizabeth and you must be Chloe, the girl who challenged Tristan huh?

Well, I won't say I challenged him. He just happened to be at the wrong place and at the wrong time, who knew he'd be my boss eventually, I chuckled awkwardly as I look at the unmoved lady.

What's her deal, I didn't know her boyfriend was a jerk that needed careful handling. Why is she glaring at me with those icy eye.

His my brother, she casually said as if reading my mind pulling me out of my daze.

Huh?, I blinked at her statement.

You looked lost and I figure out from your facial expression, you think he's my boyfriend. Well, he's my brother not my boyfriend, so stop the awkwardness. I know my brother, he can be Abit much at times but he's the world's best brother.

She then takes a sit facing me.

Elizabeth was the opposite of Tristian. She is friendly, jovial and fun to be with. We talked about our fun memories, relationship, and most embarrassing moment.

Elizabeth happens to be engaged to a multi billionaire, who isn't much of Tristan's friend.

I told her I was single which made her less surprise, she casual just said "You need complete makeover". She was right but will I do it, not in a lifetime.

We talked and laughed for hours, her official engagement ceremony is going to hold that weekend, she gave me at invite. I declined but it upset her. I don't want to be the cause of her sad face, so I accepted it.

I'll pick you up on Friday morning, you'll have to help me pick a dress, then spa, before the final sleepover. You're sleeping at my place girl, no ifs or buts, right?, Her eyes sparkle with excitement causing me to smile.

I nod in approval, Elizabeth was so happy that she clapped childishly. I wish her brother could be nicer.

The elevator door slides open, Tristian walks in shoulder squared, his blue Armani suit giving him that Mafia aura. I almost laughed at the thought of him being a mob boss.

His gaze fall on me, icy and cold freezing me in spot.

Didn't the meeting go well?, did I forget something?. My mind spin at a billion question of what, how, why. It was the quiet before the storm and I felt it deep within me, my body shivers from anticipation. I swallow hard, my eyes shifting from his firm look, as my heart pounds loudly in my chest.

Bubba, Elizabeth exclaimed with a loud giggle as she runs to hug Tristian. His gaze soften, patting gentle stroke on her head. His smiles. This was the first time I've seen him genuinely smiling.

How have you been, princess, he examines her as he speak.

I've been doing ok, you're new assistant is fun. She made waiting for you less painful and anxious, Elizabeth pout her mouth like a cute baby.

Tristan glance my way, causing my heart to skip a beat.

Look, who we have here, the little trouble maker, the guy from beside Tristian said looking at Elizabeth.

She sticks out her tongue mockingly at him causing him to chuckle. Gosh, he is Soo dreamy and everything. The white sweater and jogger giving him a friendly boy band look. If I was breathing before, I stopped. Our eyes meet and I look away almost immediately.

Why is Zane here, this trouble didn't even show up for my birthday last month. You are not forgiven Zane, hope you know that? She said, her voice lace with a little anger.

I'm sorry Bethy, but I was caught up with work, I try to make it on time. I swear, but my flight was cancelled due to weather conditions, emmm--, tell me how to make it up to you.

Show up for my celebration each time I host it, no excuses Zane. This time I'm letting it go because it is your first misstep, next time I won't easily let go, understand?

Sure Bethy, I won't miss another badass celebration, I cross my heart.

He gestures an invisible x on his heart causing Elizabeth to chuckle. The trio walk further into the room. Tristan looks displease but he casually walk pass me, Elizabeth on the other hand drags Zane toward me.

Zane, this is my new friend though It's just a day bonding (she winks), she super nice and funny. Her name is Chloe and Chloe this is Zane, my partner in Crime, she gestures us an introduction.

It's nice meeting you, Zane extends his hands, I take them lightly with a smile, The pleasure is mine, I say. Our eyes stay glued to each other, before he slowly pulls away.

Are you here to see me or not, Tristian growls before entering his office.

Well, it was nice meeting you, Zane said and leaves while Elizabeth follows behind him.

They talked for hours, i brought snacks and drinks as ordered by the boss. Serve them all before leaving the room.

I casually sit down, my heart and mind uneasy as the image of Tristian angry face keep crossing my mind.

After what felt like hours. Elizabeth and Zane came out, both laughing.

See you tomorrow Chloe, don't keep me waiting, Elizabeth wave me as she enters the elevator alongside Zane.

My chest drums drastically, Tristan is still in his office. If anything bad happened today, I am toast. I try convincing myself to remain calm as I pace round my desk.

I jumped from the sound of the ringing office phone, my hands trembles as I take in the caller. I pick up the phone and the only word I heard before the call went off was 'come'.

This is it, the hell I have been expecting.
