Stupid!
Stupid!
Stupid man!
How dare he!
"How dare he!" I mumbled angrily as soon as I was in my office.
"Think he can just say what he feels?"
I think he can!
"Or do as he please!"
Of course silly!
"And take his bloody mood swings out on me!"
Get over it!
"Then treat me like i'm stupid!"
You kinda are!
"Oh shut up!" I huff then sat in my chair, pouting my lips at the door.
How could he think that I was flirting with that-that man. That perverted old man!
Who the hell does he think he is?
Do you really want me to answer that?
I sigh at myself then close my eyes, running a hand through my hair.
A minute later, I opened them only to see a dark hair guy in casual clothing, standing in front of my desk, staring at me strangely.
Where the hell did he come from?
Better yet who the hell is he?
"May I help you?" I asked, feeling a little uncomfortable as his piercing blue eyes continues to stare at me.
He kept quiet.
I cleared my throat then straighten in my seat before addressing him once more.
"Excuse me," I wave my hand awkwardly in the air. "Can I help you?"
He blink several times then clear his throat, fixing his leather jacket while his cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
"Uhm..." he clears his throat again. "Sorry about that, it's just that, not every day you get to see a beautiful woman such as yourself."
Oh come on!
I roll my eyes at his cheesy comment then fold my hands on the table. Checking out his outstanding features that as a striking resemblance to someone I can't quite put my finger on. "Am quite sure that giving me water down compliments isn't why your here."
He smile then shook his head. " No, my brother sent me here to come get you actually."
Brother?
He couldn't possibly be talking about...
"Your Mr Norman's brother?" I blurted out with wide eyes. Realization pouring down on me like a bucket of ice water.
He laugh at my reaction then took the empty seat across from mine. Wondering eyes looking around my office while he spoke.
"I'm actually his half brother," he shrugs. "but brother nonetheless."
A hot brother Nonetheless!
Wait!
Did you just call Mr Nor-"
"So...." I cut off my shameful thinking. "Do you know why your brother wants me?"
He nods his head but didn't answer, too busy staring at the picture of me that was on my desk.
Getting annoyed, I was about to slap him back to reality when my office door burst open, startling me and the strange guy who was already standing on two legs with a nervous look on his face.
I almost frown at his sudden movement but as soon as I realize who was standing there, I jump from my seat, almost falling flat on my face.
"Mr Norman." I greet him after brushing down my skirt and composing myself.
He ignored me as usual, eyes narrowed at his brother who i was now standing a few inches away from.
"What's going on here?" He asked, his voice sounding the same way it did a few minutes ago. God I hope he doesn't get angry again. "We were..." I tried to explain but guess what he did? Yup. He cuts me off, as usual.
"Quiet Miss Linton." He orders me, his eyes still fixated on his brother. "That question was not directed to you."
Ooooooook then.
"Why exactly did I send you here Ethan?"
"To get Miss Linton."
"And where is Miss Linton?" He asked, folding his arms, looking intimidating as usual.
"She is right beside me?" Ethan answered, even though it came out sounding more like a question than a statement.
"Exactly! she is beside you when she should of been in my office a minute a go, doing what I pay her to do which I can assure you that slacking off is not one of them."
"Rich come on, we weren't doing anything."
"Oh I know you weren't doing anything."Mr Norman clenched out, wagging his index finger between the two of us. "You do not want to cross this line with me brother so I suggest you don't even try."
"But I wasn't-"
"You wasn't what?" he raise his voice. "You weren't trying to get acquainted with her? Is that what you were going to say?"
"Yes." Ethan nods his head a couple of times. Hands half way in the air. " I wasn't flirting with her or anything." he tries to defend himself while I just stood there...... Lost.
What is going on?
"Didn't I give you a fair warning before you left my office? Didn't I tell you to just get her then leave?"
"Yes but..."
"But nothing Ethan. All you had to do was do as you were told."
"I am not a child."
"Oh I beg to differ." Ethan rolls his eyes at his brother's comment. "Whatever Rich, your acting like you own her or something."
"Guys." I tried to cut in. Keyword, tried but both were too caught up in their heated discussion that they totally forget I was standing right here in the middle of everything.
"Whether or not she belongs to me as nothing to do with you. She works for me dammit and if I say get her, you get her and," he turns in frustration to look at me. "why the hell are you still here?"
I look from him to Ethan than back to him again. "I really don't know." I said in all honesty because I didn't.
"Just leave her alone brother. I am to be blamed." Ethan sighs, trying to stick up for me but once again, keyword—tried.
"If memory serves me correct, which we know it always does then am pretty sure I did not ask you a question, in fact," he tilt his head to the side. "the question was directed to my P.A. The same P.A who is still standing here, speechless, when she should me in my office waiting for me."
"Stop being so possessive." Ethan Scowls him even though possessive is not the word I would use in this moment.
Ass, moron, d**k, irrational, crazy, those are words that are quite fitting for his behaviour but If anyone should tell him that then it should not be me.
"Go wait in my office for me Miss Linton, I think I need to give my little brother here a pep talk about boundaries and why they should not be crossed."
I open my mouth to protest but the look he gave me caused me to shut up instantly and do as i was told.
The last thing I heard before I shut the door fully was Mr Norman telling Ethan to stay away from what's his but then again I might just be hearing things.
Right?
