ILLICIT #2: CRESCENT

Chapter 15

Leah Morris

We didn't talk on our way to the hotel. It's killing me inside because how none of us wants to start the conversation. I just kept looking out the window and felt so tired since it's almost midnight.

All of the sudden, Adrian pulled over the car to the side. I turned to him disbelief and he turned to me coldly.

"Why should I feel like this when you're the one who started everything?!" He raised his voice and I looked at him confused.

"Mr. Nielsen, I didn't do anything wrong. I'm sorry if I almost touched the g*n earlier, I didn't know but besides that.. I don't understand why you'te snappi jg at me all the time?" I said calmly and his eyes soften up.

"Everything is wrong about you!"

"Then what you want me to do?" I asked giving up in this situation. He's my boss anyway so I rather not fight him.

"You can't talk to anyone unless I ask you to, you can't touch anything unless I ask you to, you can't- you.. you can't- f**k!" He hissed.

"Very well, I'll obey you if that's what makes you not mad at me. I'll do it." I said.

"I won't ask questions too since you hate it so much." I added and Adrian looked straight to the road.

"Get out and take a taxi to the hotel." He said and he didn't need to say it twice. I took off the seatbelt and grabbed my bag. I got out from the car and closed the door.

He drove away and I wanted to smack him so bad. Why is acting like this?

I looked around and there's a lot of bars here. Maybe I'll get a drink or two before heading back. I hate my boss for today.

Adrian Nielsen

I took a cold shower as soon as arrived at my home in Paris. I was more than pissed at this point. She was getting on my nerves with everything she do. I got out from the shower and decided to call my secretary to check if she's already at the hotel or not.

"She already checked in?" I asked as I grabbed my hoodie from my closet.

"No, Mr. Nielsen. She's not here yet." I turned to the clock and it's been an hour since I left. Where did she go?

"f**k it." I hissed and ended the call. I laid on the bed and closed my eyes. I'm so tired and need a lot of sleep.

I just arrived at the hotel after getting 2 drinks. It was pretty nice since I met some people at the bar. They're pretty fun and I bet I can make time for them after working.

As I walked to the reception desk to check in, the reception looked at me weirdly and she immediately made a call. I looked at her confused because I'm pretty sure that I didn't do anything bad or illegal.

"Where the hell were you?" I jumped when I heard Adrian's voice. People immediately bowed at him and I turned around.

"I was just.. Wait! Why should I tell you?" I asked and Adrian took a step closer to me.

"Where.. were you?" He asked in a cold tone.

"I grabbed a drink earlier." He looked at me disbelief after I answered him and I'm really confused at this point. He's acting like a possessive boyfriend who demands me to give him my location every 5 minutes.

"There's no rule that I can't grab a drink right? I'm fine on my own, Mr. Nielsen. Besides you're the one who dropped me earlier." I said and and Adrian cursed under his breath before he decided to leave.

"What's wrong with him?" I hissed and I turned around taking my hotel card. I walked into the lift and pressed my room floor, before the door closed, Adrian got in.

"f**k it.." He crashed his lips to mine without any warning. He pinned me to the wall and kissed me fast and hard. The lift door closed but I was losing my mind. He was taking over my soul already.

He stopped when the lift stops at my room floor. I was still in shock from that just happened. I turned to Adrian and he gestured me to go. I walked out from the lift and turned to him.

"That was a mistake, that shouldn't have happen." He said and then he closed the lift door.

He left me speechless.

What the f**k?!

He kissed me out of rage and then said it to my face that it was a mistake? I can't believe this. I walked into my hotel room and sat on the bed processing what just happened earlier.

So he's playing 'it was a mistake' card huh? Very well. I'll pretend nothing happened too then.

He's such an asshole at this point.

I decided not to think about it. He's just my boss or should I say, an asshole boss. He's out of his mind ever since he snapped after saving me. He kept acting weird and I really don't understand him.

I jumped into the shower and decided to sleep right away after that. Tomorrow, I have a long day working with that asshole.

I woke up early in the morning to get my morning jog around the hotel. I got a little bit of a headache and I tried to get a warm tea after that. I took a shower and got ready for work. I put on my white shirt and jeans on. I curled my hair and put it on a half up style. I put on my makeup and went downstairs to wait for someone to pick me up.

He told me that he'll pick me up at 8 every day.

"Ms. Morris?" I turned to see a man in suit approaching me.

"Mr. Nielsen sent me to pick you up, he's already waiting at his office." The man led me to the car and I couldn't help but laugh inside. He's avoiding me, I guess.
