MY POSSESSIVE MR. BILLIONAIRE

CHAPTER 17

LILY'S  POV :-

I looked at my watch and sighed in relief. Finally it was time for some break. Okay more specifically lunch break.

No, no, no. I am not that hungry. Okay maybe a bit hungry, but what is more relaxing is some time away from the devil.

In the morning, in his private elevator, we were so close to each other that even one move from either of us might have resulted in a kiss. I mean can you imagine a kiss with my boss?

'Well handsome boss, Lily. And don't you dare deny the fact that you were actually hoping for that kiss to happen. You were dying to kiss that handsome boss of yours, weren't you?' My inner demon asked me.

I opened my mouth to reply, but no thoughts came in my mind.

Was I really hoping for that kiss to happen? Okay fine. I might be. But it was not my fault. My mind had stopped working and the little distance between our lips was not helping me at all. But somehow, before we could kiss, the elevator stopped and the doors started opening again, causing me to push the devil away from me.

After pushing him away from me, I hurriedly ran out of the elevator, hoping that maybe no one witnessed our almost shared kiss or it might have been too embarrassing for me. But yes, I was lucky as there was no one on the floor. But who am I kidding? There is still no one on the floor, except me, the devil, Ethan and his personal assistant. Yes, we are the only four people who work on this floor. This floor is exclusively for the Paxwells', and of course their PAs.

Now coming to the present, after that sweet torture in the elevator, the devil decided to torture me even some more. Every 5 minutes, giving me some stupid excuse, he would order me to come in his office. Yes stupid because sometimes he would call me to help him in finding his favourite pen which he had mistakenly dropped on the floor. Or find him an important file, which actually was in the drawer just next to him. Not only these, but he might have called me at least 10 times to bring him his coffee. I mean, seriously? Who the hell drinks so much caffeine? It is not good for his health. But no, why will the devil listen to me? He is the boss after all. He never misses any chance to argue with me or go in the opposite direction to me. This man is a real torture.

But now, I am finally free for some time. And before the devil steals my lunch break away like yesterday, I should vanish away from his sight and return only after my break is over.

Yes, Lily. Run and vanish before the devil finds you.

I took my bag and placing my phone in it, I was about to leave my office when suddenly the door to my office opened. s**t! The devil is already here.

I looked up only to realise that it was not Evan, but it was Daniel D'Costa. A part of my heart sank in my chest after finding someone else in place of the devil.

Okay fine. Yes, he might be a torture to me, but he is a sweet torture. I might be angry with him for calling me several times in his office, but deep within my heart, I always prayed to God to ask him to call me again. Okay, that might sound weird, but that's the truth. The truth which is more complicated than even a spider web.

Well, after listening my own thoughts, I think I am going crazy. I think that I need to consult a psychiatrist soon.

"Woah! Come back to reality, Ly. I have been continuously calling you since last five minutes but you are completely lost in your LaLa land, Ly," Daniel's voice brought me back from my stupid thoughts.

"Uhh. I.. I am sorry. I was thinking about... leave it. Its nothing." I told Daniel,

"What brings you here Dan?" I asked Daniel.

"Oh. I came here to pick you up for lunch. Yesterday the boss spoiled our plan, so today I thought of making it up to you for yesterday. Well, only if you will like to have your lunch with me, Ly," Dan told me.

"Oh sure. Why not, Dan? I was also just heading out for lunch. So maybe I could accompany you," I told Dan.

"Of course you can Ly. So where will you like to go for our first lunch together Ly?" Dan asked me.

"Well, thinking about that... take me somewhere where there is no devil," I told Dan, but then realized what I actually said to him.

Why do my thoughts always revolve around the devil.

And wait! Did I just called him a devil in front of Daniel?

'Yes, you did. You silly Lily,' my little demon mocked me with utter venom in its tone.

'Shut up you little devil. Go to sleep already,' I replied in return.

"Devil? Who the hell is devil here?" Dan asked me in an amused tone.

"Oh no. I mean, what I actually mean is that.. umm.. take me somewhere where there is no boss," I told Dan, still unsure of what to say.

"Oh I see. So the boss Evan is devil in your words? Huh?" Dan asking me in a teasing tone.

"Okay. Fine. Yes, you got me right. But promise me that you won't tell this to the devil," I told Dan while extending my one hand for him to take.

Dan placed his hand in my hand, making it a gesture, that he will keep this a secret,

"I promise Ly. Now come on. Let's go before your devil stops us like yesterday," Dan told me and listening 'your devil' made my stomach flutter in excitement.

Uh. That sounds too good, doesn't it?

We both silently made our way towards the public elevator and then in it. All the events of the morning flashed in my head and I couldn't help but smile at the thought of me almost kissing the sexy devil.

"Why are you smiling, Ly?" Dan asked me.

Shit! He noticed! I need to control myself!

"Oh its nothing. By the way, where are we going?" I asked Dan, trying to change the subject.

"We are going to the office canteen, Ly," Dan replied.

"Okay.... But wait! Didn't I ask you to take me somewhere where there is no boss?" I asked Dan.

"Yeah, that is why we are going in office canteen, as there is no better place than the office canteen to escape from the boss or 'your devil'," Dan replied and I couldn't help but smile widely at his mention of 'your devil'.

"See you are smiling again. What is going on in that head of yours?" Dan asked me again.

Shit! He noticed again. Why can't I just stop myself from smiling like a maniac? This man named Evan Paxwell is driving me crazy. I bet that he is going to be the death of me.

"Its nothing. And how come office canteen is a better  place to escape from the boss? It is his company after all, so he might be visiting the office canteen frequently for having lunch or other management purposes, Dan" I told Dan.

"No. Here you are wrong, Ly. Evan aka our boss never even puts a step in the office canteen. He doesn't like eating or sharing his space with his employees. He always has his lunch/dinner in some seven star restaurant. After all he is the boss, how can he share his space with the people lower to him like his employees? You see he is nothing, but a self-centered egoistic man," Dan told me.

After hearing Dan's words, I wanted to beat the s**t out of Dan. How can he use such words for the devil? I bet that the devil is not that mean. I know that sometimes he becomes self-centered and egoistic, but he is good at heart. He is a good person. My heart can feel that.

But instead of arguing with Dan, I kept my mouth shut and continued listening to what Dan has to say,

"And about the management purposes, everything is handled by Ethan. That man is a complete opposite of his egoistic twin brother. I sometimes don't understand how come they are twins? They are complete opposite of each other. Though both of them love each other a lot. They share a really very strong bond. They can even die for each other. And not only for each other, but for their whole family and especially for their little sister. She is their heart actually. They both are very possessive of her. Not only they but also their father, Zach Paxwell. Those three never allow a man to even go besides her. If someone even tries to flirt with her, he might be dead the next moment." Dan told me.

See, I told you that the devil is not that bad. He is good at heart.

"And here we are," Dan told me and I looked up to find ourselves standing in front of a huge office canteen where all the other employees were chattering and gossiping with each other, while enjoying their lunch at the same time.

Finally some time away from the devil. Now I can enjoy my lunch break without any torture.

Am I really happy being away from him?

Okay fine. Maybe no. I am not happy being away from him and maybe my eyes will search for him in the entire canteen. But as said, he will never even step a foot in the office canteen. So I guess that I will have to somehow pass some of my precious time without seeing the devil's beautiful face.
