Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Nate had noticed her presence from the moment she walked into his office. He had only met her just yesterday but for some odd reason he could easily tell that it was her in the office right now even without looking.

Maybe it was because of the captivating aura that she had that emanated from her like a strong perfume which was appealing and at the same time overwhelming to him. It was hard to resist but it was better if he did.

From the moment that she walked out of his office yesterday he had not been able to get her out of his mind. His mind was taking her to a lot of places,on top of his polished desks, on his bed, doing all sorts of naughty things that made him question how long it had been since he had not been with a woman.

He realized that this lady made him feel the urges he had been taming for a long time now. His beast wanted to be unleashed. He took in light breaths in order not to raise any suspicion before focusing on his work.

"You won't get the best of me…" he screamed loudly in his head, thinking of ways to get rid of the beauty, her brown eyes were like orbs that were trying to suck him into another realm, the realm of extreme passion.

He recalled how he had lots of drinks to clear his mind off this lady but he couldn't,

"Did she cast some kind of spell on me or did she use voodoo to join my soul with her's?" Nate asked himself, still not sure of why she stuck to his mind like some kind of magnet.

However, he was not intending to make the grave mistake of allowing her to see this. He will be cold, calm and calculating as he had always been to everybody else; it wasn't going to change because of her.

"The only way to get her off my mind is if I treat her badly, yes, I will show her my true identity so that she won't be able to stand my presence, I hate girls who are weaklings and she would obviously show that part of her soon." Nate thought with an evil grin on his face

When she greeted him, her words were like sweet melodies in his ears and the scent of coffee she had made filled his nostrils.

"She made the coffee just the way I like it, strong with a little hint of honey." He nodded but didn't make it too obvious to the lady.

It was all very appealing, the way she approached him and he felt like he would not be able to control himself. He wasn't prepared for any more battle with his self control. Instead of gazing at her, he fixed his eyes on the documents that were in front of him, scanning through them without really going into the details.

"You are only five minutes early," he spoke coldly, not responding to her greeting at all, and not sparing her even a single glance which caught Chloe's attention,

"Why isn't he looking at me, don't I look presentable enough?" She tried to hide her confused state of mind behind a charming smile. Her boss' voice alerted her to the issue on ground.

"My last secretary Cassandra would come to work at least 10 minutes early in case of an emergency," he spoke with a firm tone as he flipped through the documents, looking for nothing in particular. His eyes were still focused on imaginary work he made her believe he had.

He waited to see her reaction, to know if this would ruffle her feathers and break that Masked character she had been wearing since yesterday but instead, she remained calm as she was before. In fact, it seemed like she became even more quiet, however, this made him even more edgier. She gave a small smile before finally replying back,

"Is that so? In that case, I better start sleeping in the office just so that I can be at work before you even wake up." She spoke in the most respectful tone she could mutter.

Even though she was speaking in a casual tone, he could sense the snarkiness in her words and it felt like he deserved a little bit of it.

"I love the fact that you are a really bold personality, please take a seat." He stretched forth his hand to the seat opposite him as he beckoned Chloe to come sit. He managed to grab a little glance of her well shaped body.

Her hair was packed in a ponytail, revealing her slender neck, the jacket and the mini gown she wore plus the boot was a perfect match. Nate quickly teared down his gaze as he suppressed the exclamation that was about to leave his lips.

She placed his coffee on the table and without saying anymore words, Chloe took her seat, crossing her legs and facing him directly like a well cultured lady. She didn't seem to have any readable expression on her face.

"I'm sure that you thought about my offer yesterday considering the contract and the new payment plan." He clicked his tongue for a moment and then finally looked at her, dropping the files that he was handling by his side.

His eyes paid more attention to her revealing cleavage and her pink lush lips. He wished he could just devour them right at that moment but he didn't want to give her a bad feeling on her first day.

"I did, and I am sure that you have the documents that need my signature?" She gazed at him, fully understanding what he meant,

"I told you I won't give you any reason to doubt my competence," she said in a loud enough thought for her boss to hear.

"What was that, did you say something?" He asked and when she didn't give him a reply, he asked her the similar question concerning the document,

"Do you have the documents that need my signature?"
