Trapped By The Devil

Chapter - 18

It has been few weeks working with Noah's dad and he already liked my work. He treated me like his own even in the office. Before me, Noah and his dad ate lunch together and now that I have joined the company, his dad happily invited me to dine with them.

But after a month things started to turn bad. The value of the company started to get low in the market and we lost a huge project. With it some great allies also took their steps back.

Once friendly atmosphere of the company turned thick and sour. Noah's dad didn't even leave his cabin for once. The words around the staff were always like ' he's angry today, boss seems out of his mind don't get into his way and what not' .

I packed a lunch today when Noah was with his dad. I didn't ate with them. I wanted to give them sometime together, so Noah make his dad's mood lighten. But it only backfired.

Whole day Noah stayed in his cabin because of it. And kept himself busy with plenty of meetings. I left him so many texts but he didn't replied to a single one.

When in the evening it was time to leave, I went to Noah's cabin and waited for him pack his laptop bag and stuff. I didn't said anything, I knew it would be better to not bug him, he will talk when he will be ready.

At the parking, his car didn't start which only added to his shitty day. I silently grab his hand and bag and we walked on the footpath. I drew small circles on his hand through my thumb during the walk.

Noah's grip on my hand was like a tight clutch. As if I am gonna ran away from him. To assure him, I inched closer to his side and grab his arm to pass him some of warmth.

"Everything is going down Clara..."

Noah spoke almost in a whisper. I tightened my hold onto his arm to tell him that I am listening and I am here for him.

"Dad... He's loosing himself... I don't know what' happened... Every client, every project is getting out of our hands..."

I have never seen or heard him this sad. Its hurts to not able to do anything for my love.

"If things not starts turning for good... Then we have to close the business Clara... "

"Ssshhhh.... Nothing like this will happen... This phase will pass... Sooner or later... You just have to have hope baby..."

I said what came into my mind first. I didn't know what to say exactly to make him feel good.

"There will be a way to..."

"No Clara.... There has to ..... If there's not then we need to make one."

He corrected me and this made my heart a bit at ease.

"Come here"

I said and pulled him closer to kiss Noah on the lips.

His lips were initially soft against mine then the kiss turned urgent and needy. I let him because love is the only thing I could possibly give him at the moment.

And after Noah pulled away, I gave him an assuring smile and a peck on his chin. Few minutes later a cab pulled at our feet and we got inside to go to my apartment.

.

We were in bed, Noah's head was on my stomach and I was playing with his hair. He was making a project file for our only project which for gods luck is still in our hands. My phone buzzed and I checked who it is.

" Tomorrow at 11:00am LocMore."

Some unknown number texted me. LocMore is my previous work place. Whoever texted me doesn't know that I don't give a f**k about that company since he bought it.

Ignoring the text, I brought my attention back to the laptop Noah was working on. But just when I put my cellphone back on the side it buzzed again.

"Who is it?"

Noah questioned under his breath. I told him some unknown number. But didn't tell him what the text said.

Picking the phone up, I unlock it and saw another text from the same number. This time my brows drew together. Like what the actual f**k? The text said,

" If I were you, I would come. See you tomorrow. "

This time I silenced my phone and put my hands under Noah's jaw. His chiseled jaw always fascinate me. So whenever he decides to spend the night with me, I do his nightly skin care.

Closing the laptop, he came to lay beside me and pulled me closer to him under the sheets. My hands make its way under his brief and I started rubbing him. Slowly his breath started to increased and I made him relax.

.

Next day after dropping off Noah to the office, I went to LocMore. The lady on the reception told me to wait. The b***h made me wait for an hour.

"Ms. Blakeman, please follow me."

A new lady came and asked me to follow her. The staff pretty much changed. Like I hardly know any of them. He literally took everyone's job. A son of a bi...

"This way"

The lady said. Now I can't even curse him without getting interrupted. Following her she took me to the another floor.

"Here"

She said and I Adjusted my white bodycon dress before stepping inside the cabin. And there sitting the devil in all his darkness.

Our eyes met and his eyes turn darker even more. My heels clicked against the tiled floor with every step I took and sit on the chair after he told me to.

"Good morning"

Myles said. I wanted to laugh at his greeting. There's nothing good when he's involved.

"What you want?"

Without beating around the bush, I asked him. His charcoal black shirt was clung to his body and a same colour coat hung on the back rest of his chair.

"You."

He laughed at my straight forward behaviour and then conceal it like a professional. The skin between my brows creased at his answer but soon realisation hit me like a cold water.

"You wish Myles."

I spat and stood on my feet. The chair behind me screeched against the tiled floor and I make my way towards the door. But his next word halted me at my place, right in front of the door.
