Chapter 26: Chapter 26

It's been 3 days now and I haven't laid my eyes on  Drake. I don't know why he has been avoiding me all this while.

I got dressed and went to work as usual.

I got into my office and started filing out some documents.

I have been covering up for Drake and I would have to do all the signing of documents.

"Miss Jackson, there will be a meeting in 20minutes time", Mrs. Wood said as she walked into my office.

" Okay ma", I said with a nod.

Now I have to face a whole lot of guys out there in the meeting.

I packed some documents back to the shelf.

I took a folder and clutched my purse along with me.

I made my way to the conference room and walked in.

All eyes were on me.

Some whispering while some stared all the way.

I didn't know how but the boldness came over me.

"Good morning gentlemen", I said as I cleared my throat.

All of them looked blankly at wondering who the young lady was.

"I would like everyone to cooperate to make this meeting a progress", I said staring at them.

They all nodded and I was glad they were not like dick-heads.

We talked about the progress of the company and also the investment in which could help other company up.

"Where's is the CEO?", One of the men asked.

God!! Why will he bring up this question, I thought within me.

I looked at him and he was obviously smirking as the men were waiting for answers.

"Actually the CEO is really busy for and has a tight schedule but will be free next week, I guessed have answered your questions", I said making my way out of the conference room.

I went straight into my office and sighed as I sat heavily on my seat.

I ordered lunch just  burgers  and milkshake.

I ate my food and continued working.

I sighed varieties of document and sent them to each department they will be needed.

It was closing hour now. I got and packed my things and made my way out of the building.

I went straight to Drake's driver and got into the car.

I looked out through the windows staring at how lovely the city is.

We got home I mean Drake's home, getting into the penthouse I jumped into Max.

"Oops!! Sorry!!!", He said smiling at me.

"No it's nothing", I said regaining my posture.

" I will be leaving soon", he said looking at me.

" Okay!", I replied getting my way upstairs.

"Have prepared dinner your food is in the microwave", he said loudly again.

" Thank you ", I said dashing through the stairs.

I got to my room and ran straight to the  bathroom, my body really ached for a shower and I don't know why.

I finished bathing and stepped into my room, I wore a big shirt that hanged middle way above my thighs.

I went downstairs to eat the food Max prepared for me.

I was really getting worried about Drake so I packed the plates and quickly washed them.

I went upstairs and searched for his room.

It seems I found it, so I knocked on the door gentle holding my breathe.

I didn't hear any reply so I knocked again louder but still no reply.

"Drake please open the door! I want to see you!!", I pleaded.

And yet no reply, I was getting impatient so I opened the door and fortunately it wasn't locked.

I peeped inside but it was dark getting curious I went in.

Even though it was dark I could still see the room clearly.

I saw a painting that caught my attention, I moved closer to it tracing my fingers on it.

"What do you want Amanda?", Drake said behind me.

I stood still trying to catch my breath, maybe I shouldn't have come here in the first place, I thought within me.

"I came to check on you", I said boldly turning to see him.

I gasped lightly he wasn't wearing any shirt making his muscles seen properly.

"I don't want to see anyone!!", He said fiercely.

" But why?", I asked worriedly.

" You can't just lock yourself in here", I said moving closer to him.

I knew I was taking a dangerous step but I didn't mind.

"I don't know Amanda, I just need some time to myself", he said as he brushed his hair to the back.

" You know you could tell me anything", I said as I touched his hand.

Wrong way Amanda!! A part of me said as I touched him.

We made contact and stared at each other.

Drake moved closer to me brushing some strands of my hair back.

"You want to know?", He asked smirking at me.

"Yes Drake, you could tell me", I said as I looked up to him as I bit my lower lips.

He sighed, " I want you Amanda", he said finally.

My eyes widened and before I knew it his lips crashed on mine making me have tingles.
