“How can I face him after what happened last night?” I thought and my mind went to the flashback automatically.
“But you have to do your work, Judy. Come on, you can do it,” I tried to encourage myself and slowly walked towards his office.
I was still thinking about whether I should face him or not. I took a deep breath and slowly knocked on his door.
“Come in,” I heard a voice.
“It’s not his voice,” my mind alerted him.
I opened the door and stepped in bravely.
Yes, it was not him. It was Mr. Roy.
“Good morning, Mr. Roy. I need the signatures of Mr. President urgently as I have to send them today itself,” I said.
“Oh, he just left the office just before. Wait, I will call him,” he said.
“John, where are you?” he asked.
“In the car Park? No, I don’t have any work. But our marketing department head needs your signature in some important files now itself. It’s very urgent,” he said and looked at me with a mischievous smile.
“Okay, I will send her there,” he said and cut the call.
“Miss. Brown, he is in the car park. He said that he can wait for you for five minutes. Get his signature there,” he said and was about to leave the room.
He stopped walking suddenly and said, “if you want to take a day off, you can. I know you have worked the whole night,” he said and left the room immediately.
“What does he mean?” his words made me angry and embarrassed at the same time.
Yes, it was Mr. Roy who saw me and John together in a documentary room.
I closed my face with those files with embarrassment.
I remembered that I had just five minutes and hurried my steps towards the car park.
In-car park
John's Pov
I was about to start my car to go home. I didn’t sleep well last night.
“Most of the time, you were staring at her like you were ready to eat her any second,” my mind alerted me.
That made me blush. But when I woke up, I saw Roy only near me. I didn’t know when she left the room. Oh good how embarrassing my face was in the morning? Many thoughts like these ran in my mind.
My phone rang suddenly. It was from Roy.
“What do you want? We have just met,” I sounded very annoyed and I think he understood it.
“Really?” I asked him excitedly.
“I’m in the car park. Send her here,” I said and cut the call.
I looked at the mirror and adjusted my hair. I got down from the car and was standing near it supporting myself in the car.
I was looking at the way impatiently.
When I saw her at distance, I changed my face very tightly and stood like I didn’t notice her.
She approached me slowly and stood silently.
“Why isn’t she talking to me?” I thought.
I turned towards her and saw her looking at me turning towards her.
She gave me some files and handed over me a pen.
“Sir, please sign these files,” she said with hesitancy.
I took the pen from her. Our hands touched when she gave me the pen. She seemed to be shivering with my touch.
“Is she afraid of me?” I thought.
I signed the documents and she didn’t wait for another second after I handed over her files.
I was about to tell them something, but I couldn’t as she left the place.
I sighed heavily once and started my car.
Judy's POV
My heart was beating very rapidly without my control whenever I went near him.
When I went to get his signatures, I was shivering very badly. I don’t know the exact reason. I couldn’t find out it. I was damn sure it was not fear. I somehow gathered my courage and went to him. I knew well that he noticed me at the distance, but he somehow tried to maintain his usual cold attitude. It made me laugh as I already know the truth. I slowly went near him and extended the files to him and my own also.
When I gave him the pain, our hands slightly touched and it made me shiver a little bit. I pulled my hands away quickly.
When he handed over the files after he signed, I quickly left the place immediately.
I completed all the procedures to send the necessary files and went to my cabin. Michal was in my cabin.
“Good morning,” she welcomed me with a warm smile.
I didn’t expect her and jerked a little bit when I heard her voice. When I saw her, I could sigh only.
She looked at me suspiciously.
“wait, what’s wrong with your face? Didn’t you sleep well last night?” she asked.
I didn’t know what to tell. I know well that she will tease me if I yell her the truth.
“Nothing, I had to stay at the office, as I had some urgent work to finish,” I said without making doubt.
“What? Did you work the whole night? How can you torture yourself for the sake of your dedication?” she was pissed off.
“Don’t exaggerate too much. Now I’m going home,” I said and packed my bag.
“Ohh, but see your face. It has become very reddish. I think you must visit a doctor,” she said with concern.
“Don’t worry, I will take care of myself,” I said and took leave from her.
I knew she will ask more questions if I stayed there.
When I reached the entrance, I saw a familiar car was parked on the pavement.
“why is he here?” I thought for a moment.
“That’s not your care. Just go home and take a rest,” my kind asked me. It begged for the rest.
When I was passing the car, the passenger door got opened. It jerked me a little bit. The person in the driver's seat said, “come inside, I can drop you,
“No problem, sir. I can go home by myself,” I said with hesitation.
“I didn’t ask you any question. I’m just ordering you,” John said in a cold voice. Yes, it was John who had been waiting for me.
I said nothing and occupied the passenger seat.
“seat belt?” he said and showed me that.
I realized that I forgot to fasten the seat belt.
“I'm sorry,” I said and tried to do it, but I couldn’t as I was very nervous.
He saw it and came near me. I skipped a heartbeat when his face was closer to mine. He looked into my eyes while trying to read my thoughts. I didn’t know why I couldn’t just move my body away or not even my eyes. I was just staring at those magnetic eyes that were pulling me towards them. I could see that he withdrew himself first with hesitation as he disnt wants any other regret.
He quickly fastened my seat belt and started the car.
“Tell me your address, I will find out it with the GPS,” he said and focused on the road.
The journey was silent at the beginning. I didn’t say anything. But he tried to look at me and start some conversation. I. Could sense it.
“I'm sorry, don’t take it seriously for what I had. I regret my stupid action,” finally he opened his mouth and said.
I was hell dumbfound as I never thought that the great C.E.O Mr. John brand apologized to me, an employee of his company.
I was sitting silently without any response.
“Why are you silent?” he asked me again.
“it's okay,” I just said and showed him the location of my house.
“When will my home come?” I was secretly praying in my mind, clutching my handbag tightly.
“Miss Brown,” I heard a voice calling me.
I looked at his direction with doubt and then the location. The car was in front of my home.
“Thank you so much sir,” I said and escaped from there into home vastly.
