Madness [MxM] - Completed

Chapter 5

"Let's just meet in Tong's then?" Clary said while looking at me.

"Are we not going together?" I asked while my brows furrowed.

"Me, Amara, and Dane will be going together with Sir Light's car. While you will be riding with your boss."

"What? Can I just also join you?" I said while my brows were still furrowed. What the hell? I've been trying to avoid being with him. How could I do that if I would be riding with him? Damn it!

"Why? Is there a problem riding with me, Crysler?" his boss said while raising his brow. The way he said it, it was like giving me double meaning about it. s**t!

"Sir Light's car is only a four-seater Crysler. Sorry. Do you have a problem with Sir Dark? He's harmless," Clary said while laughing like his boss was not beside her.

"W-What? No! It's just that the more, the merrier, right?" What the hell am I talking about?

Clary laughed again. "Yeah. I know. We would love you to be with us in one car but where are you going to sit? Shall I sit on you then?" she said, teasing me. Maybe that would be better, huh? Instead of being together with my boss in his car, again.

I chuckled a bit. "The question is, are you okay sitting on me?"

"Of course! I don't mind," she said, laughing.

"You'll be riding with me, Crysler, or you'll be fired. Just choose,” Sir Dark suddenly said while looking at me intently. His jaw was clenching while his eyes become darker.

"Oops! You better just ride with your boss Crysler." Clary said while laughing. Was she not afraid of my boss? Or was I the only one that was afraid of him? Why was I even scared of him anyway? Damn it

I pursed my lips and tried not to glare at my boss. " Yes, Sir. I'll be riding with you," I said while forcing a smile.

"Good. I thought you're not afraid to be fired. I don't really mind firing you, though," his boss said with a smirk.

Damn him! Of course, I didn’t want to get fired even if his presence stressed me out. I need this job more than anything else.

I, my boss, and Clary ride the elevator together, going to the parking lot. Clary said that Amara, Dane, and Sir Light are already waiting for us there. The sound of the elevator opening welcomed us right away the moment we arrived in front of it. We got in right away, and Clary pressed the button for the ground floor. The ride of the elevator was so silent until it stopped on the 15th floor. A bunch of people gets in while talking loudly. So for them to be accommodated, we move back until there was no space anymore. I was startled when I accidentally bumped into someone. My back was pressed to someone’s hard chest.

“I’m so--” I was taken aback when I saw that it was my boss that I bumped into. My eyes widened when I felt his hands on the side of my waist. I immediately took a step forward to get away from him, but he grabbed my waist and held me in my place.

“Stay still,” he whispered in my ear that made me stiffened. My breathing started to become uneven, feeling nervous that someone might saw what he just did a while ago. I glanced at everyone, and I felt relieved when they were actually busy chatting and looking at their phones. We were actually on the very end corner of the elevator. I saw Clary, but she was busy doing something on her phone as well. I doubt if she saw that. She didn’t even look at our side since we got inside of the elevator.

I removed his hand on my waist, and good thing that he didn’t put it back again. But, my back was still pressed to his hard chest. Damn it! I could even feel his breath on my nape, and it was giving me goosebumps all over.

I cursed him on my head a couple of times. The elevator ride feels too long, and it became torture for me.

I sighed in relief when the elevator stopped on the ground floor. Everyone got out right away, and so do I. I wanted to get away from him as fast as I could. I didn’t even look at him and with Clary. I decided that I would just wait for them outside so that we could walk together towards the parking lot. In that way, I could keep my distance from him.

I ran my fingers on my hair as I tried to breathe normally. I badly need a drink. I would really do that later, after dinner. Damn it!

“Hey! You walk too fast. Goodness!” Clary said right away the moment when she got in front of me.

“Oh! Sorry,” I said, giving her an awkward laugh.

“It’s like someone was chasing you a while ago. Jeez!” She laughed as she slapped my arm playfully.

I saw how my boss's brows shot up while looking at us, and I wanted to grimace at his reaction.

“Let’s go,” he said and then walked ahead of us.

Clary and I just followed him behind.

“So… Crysler. How’s your first week of working with Sir Dark?” she asked curiously. I wouldn't say I like this topic as much as I could. I didn’t really want to talk about his boss, specifically.

“It’s fine,” I answered shortly, trying to give her a hint that I didn’t want to talk about it.

“What do you mean, fine? Can you elaborate on it?” She was so persistent. She raised her brow while looking at me sideways. I laughed a bit. I was trying to light up the conversation. I didn’t want her to think that I was kind of a snob.

“Like fine. Really.” What does she want me to say? There was no way that I would tell her that I felt something strange about our boss. Hell no!

“How about Sir Dark?” she whispered. My brows furrowed because of her question.

“What about him?” I asked, confused.

“He looks hot, right?” I abruptly stopped walking and looked at her bewildered.

“What the hell, Clary?” She laughed at my reaction.

“What? Don’t you find him hot?” she asked teasingly. I really wanted to curse her, honestly.

“Why should I? You’re way hotter than him, Clary.”

“Really? I’ll keep that in mind,” she said, laughing again as she hopped cheerfully towards my boss and tapped him on the back.

My brows furrowed. Were they really that closed? I thought he was rude to his employee? Was Clary an exception? The hell I care if they were closed.

I saw Amara and Dane right away when we arrived at the parking lot. They were standing beside a car. I looked at it with an awed expression. Damn! It was a Porsche Panamera. I didn’t know that Sir Light was so damn rich!

My eyes accidentally saw the car beside it. I cursed in my head when I saw what it was. Holy s**t! Was that a Tesla Model X? I walked towards it to confirm it. And Damn! It was really a Tesla! The owner was really a big-time one.

“Hi, Crysler. Are you riding with us?” It was Amara. She walked towards me and smiled sweetly. I couldn’t help but check her out a bit. She was wearing a black body-con dress that fits her curves and killer heels. I could even see his cleavage saying hi to me. Compared to what Clary wears, which was a white crop-top, a red mini-skirt, and gladiator heels, I should find her appealing, but I didn’t. And I didn’t know why.

“I would love to. But I think we can’t fit in? It’s a four-seater car, you know,” I said, chuckling.

“Aww! Too bad,” she said while biting her lower lip.

“He’s riding with me, Amara,” my boss scoffed while looking at me intently. Amara stiffened and smiled at my boss awkwardly before she said and excused and walked towards where Dane was. While I looked away and just stared again at my dream car beside Sir Light’s car. When could I ride that type of car? Maybe only in my dreams.

“You’ve been staring at that car for some time now.” I didn’t even look at him when he suddenly spoke beside me. I was still looking at my dream car before the owner drove it away.

“It’s my dream car.” I didn’t know why I share that. But never mind. He was still my boss. I was afraid that he would fire me if I would not talk.

“Really? So your dream car is a Tesla? Not bad. Your taste is good,” he said like he was impressed. And I was also impressed because he knew the car. Maybe he also likes cars? Yeah. Like men like him and their toys. Tsk!

I noticed that Amara, Dane, and Clary were already inside Sir Light’s car, and they were ready to leave. Clary, who was sitting on the passenger seat, rolled the window glass and waved at me.

“See you at Tong’s guys!” she shouted as the car left the parking lot. And that made me realize that I would be alone again with my boss. Damn! Why did I even forget about that? Because you were ogling on your dream car, i***t. I cursed on my head a couple of times as I saw how my boss smirked while looking down on me.

“What? We should be going, Sir. Where’s your car, by the way?”

“Well. You’re one lucky guy Crysler. Because you will be riding with me in your dream car.” I was confused by what he just said. But the moment he pressed his car keys, the dream car that I had been staring at suddenly beep. And there, I just realized. I was actually ogling at my boss’s car.
