Entangled with my devilish boss

Chapter 4

Amelia's pov

“ Sorry, I got distracted,” the fat man apologized, still giving me a perverted look that I wasn't very comfortable with.

“ It's okay sir,” I said and we all made our way into the private room. A waitress was already inside, waiting to receive our order.

“ What would you like to take sir and ma'am?” She bowed and placed the menu In Front of us.

My boss requested a cocktail while I was okay with just water.

The waitress served us out choices and they got down to business immediately. I just sat down there listening to the conversation between the two business men.

Occasionally my boss will ask for one file or the other and I will provide him with that.

“ Nice doing business with you,” they signed the documents and concluded the meeting.

“ Let have a few drinks before we depart,” the fatty man suggested

“ That's fine,” my boss agreed and they ordered some expensive beers.

“ I would like to have a toast with you,” He raised his glass of beer toward me and I looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.

“ Sorry, I don't drink alcohol,”

“ Come on, it's not a heavy shot,” he tried to convince me but I wasn't having it. I was secretly wishing someone would come to my aid.

“ My secretary doesn't drink, I will toast you in her place,” . Clang! Without waiting for his response he toasted his glass. Left with no choice, he drank his beer and let me be.

“ We will be on our way,” my boss said after a few hours of drinking and we made our way out of the hotel. My eye coincidentally met with the fatty and he gave me a lustful gaze which irritated me to the core.

‘ Such a greasy ugly man,’ I lamented in my head and entered the car.

‘ Give the driver your address,” he said with a command tone.

“ Sir?” I wasn't unsure of what I just heard. Did he want to drop me off? I don't think he is that nice though.

“ I don't repeat myself,’’ He rested his head on the headrest and said.

I glanced at the driver through the front mirror and mouthed my address to him. I live in a slummy, rough area and I was feeling a bit uncomfortable with the fact that my boss will see the kind of area I live in.

It didn't take me a long time before I dozed off. The ride was so comfortable with the atmosphere not too cold and not too warm, it simply felt like heaven.

“ Hey get up,” the irritated voice of my boss woke me up from my sleep.

I looked around and realized that we are truly in my neighborhood and in fact,in front of my house.

“ Why did you sleep off? Are you so comfortable even when two men are with you inside the car? Is this how you sleep in every one of your rides home?” He questioned with irritation written all over his face.

‘ Who does he even think I am, why is he so petty?’ I thought to myself

“ What are you thinking about? Get down and stop delaying me,” he snapped at me sharply and I jumped down from the car.

I entered the apartment, my space was a room self contained. I stay there alone and no one visits me except Lucas my best friend, the sudden thought of him made my remember to call him

I sat my tired self down on the single cushion, brought out my phone then placed a call across to him.

Ring! Ring! The phone rang for some time but no one picked up and the call ended. I decided to try the call again the second and last time. Alas, he picked up.

“ Hello,How are you darling?” the Charming voice of Lucas rang from the other end of your phone.

“ Why didn't you pick up at first?” I questioned, ignoring his sweet response.

“ Sorry about that, I was getting something done and didn't notice that the phone was ringing. Don't be mad,” He consoled me with his gentle response.

“ It's fine, I am fine,’’ I couldn't get mad at him for long so I finally replied to his previous question.

“ Are you forgetting something? I won't forget you this time around,”

He understood what she wanted him to say but he still wanted to tease her further. “ What is that? Do you care to remind me?” He feigned ignorance.

“ How dare you forget? You don't care about me,” I blurted out angrily, mad at how nonchalant he was.

“ How was your first day at work,” he finally said and chuckled

“ Heeeyyy,” I screamed from the other end.

He covered his ear and bursted into laughter. “ Don't be silly, do you want to block my ear drum?!” he shouted back, still laughing earnestly.

“ Did you have fun teasing me?” I pouted even though he couldn't see my expression.

“ How will I forget about your resume today? You know that I don't joke with you right? You are my bestie remember,” he is such a sweet guy, He knows how to pacify me the best.

“ Now tell me everything in detail, how was work today? I don't want to bombard you with questions so don't miss out on any details.”

“ My boss is very handsome,” I started.

“ Wait, More handsome than me?” He boasted and I could bet that he had a smirk on his face.

“ Ofcourse, he is very handsome but …,” I narrated everything to him, including how he made me run several errands on my first day.

“ How could he? I wish I could just meet him and give him a smack. Didn't you tell him how precious you are to me?” he flattered and I laughed.

“ Who do you think you are? You want to smack the CEO of Smiths group, it's your confidence for me. Though he is cold and ruthless, I think he is still nice,” I defended.

“ Are you siding with him now? Don't tell me you have a crush on him already,” the atmosphere of the conversation changed and my head clicked immediately. Am I truly crushing on him?
