As looked at Meredith dancing with the man and anger churned in his chest. He has never wanted to rip someone into pieces like he did at the moment. He saw the hungry look in the guy''s eyes as he ogled her. It wouldn''t take a genius to know the thoughts the man was having at the moment.


    As''s blood boiled as the guy whispered something into her ears making herughed. The guy looked like someone whom sprout stupid jokes and found it funny all by himself, but Meredith was also drunk.


    She was wearing a short-fitting strapless ck sequin dress that barely covered her bottom but entuate her curves in all the right ces together with her strappyce up mid heels which showed off her beautiful long legs.


    Her legs were long, smooth, firm and bare. Her hair was finally down her back and just like he had imagined she looked magnificent andpletely different from the clumsy secretary he knew.


    As had never seen her like that. It wasn''t just the outfit; it was everything. Her carefree attitude as she swayed her hips, the smoky eyes make up and bold red lipstick.


    Her sses were nowhere to be seen. His brain exploded with fury as he the man pulled her closer and slide his hand down her back to cup her ass.


    Boiling with fury, As found himself making his way to the dance floor. He mped his hand on the guy''s shoulder tight enough to inflict pain and pulled him away from Meredith when he reached them.


    "Yo, what the fuck?!" The guy yelled at As, ring at him. As looked at the designer clothes he was wearing and knew the guy was one of those spoiled brats from a rich family.


    As ignored him and turned to look at Meredith. Her eyes widened in disbelief and wary.


    "Mr. Ma-rti-ni?" She rubbed her eyes and blinked at him.


    The guy grabbed Meredith and pulled her closer to him wrapping his hands around her waist.


    "Who are you?" The guy asked looking As up and down.


    "Remove your hands from her before I break all the 206 bones in your body."


    The guyughed and sneered, "And who are you to tell me to remove my hands from her? She lookspletely happy being in my arms don''t you think so?"


    Your worst nightmare. As thought.


    Before he could respond, Meredith interrupted him.


    "Just my boss. Don''t mind him."


    She red at As and lifted her chin in defiance, "Mr. Martini is past working hours and thest time I checked you don''t have a say in what I do in my free time."


    As mood darkened further with her tone. God what he wants to do to her for that insolent tone. If there they weren''t in a public ce, he would have bend her over his knees and spank the disrespect out of her.


    "You''re her boss?! Then why the hell are you acting so possessive for? Are you a creep who controls his employees?"


    As took a deep breath to calm down his temper which was running thin at the moment. They were drawing attention now. If only the guy knew who As was, he would have run away long time ago.


    "Dude why are you still standing here? Go, I will take care of her tonight. Monday she wille back to work. You don''t have to worry."


    As ignored him and turned to Meredith. "Miss Rossi. Don''t let me repeat myself. It''s time to go home."


    Meredith ignored the warning in his voice and put her hands on the guy''s chest. "But I don''t want to go home. I came to getid tonight and I''m not leaving until I have done that."


    The guy eyes glinted with dirty lust as he ran his eyes over Meredith''s body. Okay this was it, As''s fury skyrocketed.


    "I don''t really like repeating myself, Meredith and now this stupid man is going to suffer because of you." As said darkly his toneced with anger.


    He saw her stiffened. Good she should be afraid. Because right now she should be home, instead of being in this den of vipers who wanted to take advantage of her.


    "I''m giving you thest chance to remove your hands from her and walk away or you won''t like what I will do to you."


    The guy just snorted at As.


    "What are you..-"


    Hiss words were cut off when As closed his fist in front of his shirt and yanked him away from Meredith.


    As grabbed the guy''s right hand and twisted it. The sound of bone cracking was heard over the music.


    The man howled out in pain; he stumbled back and clutched his right wrist with his left hand.


    "What did I say about removing your hands from her? "As asked calmly disdain etched in his tone.


    "You?!" The guy cried out.


    "Leave before I do worse." The man was very stupid enough to still be standing there ignoring his warning. If not because he didn''t want to scare Meredith, he would have done worse.


    As saw fear shed across the guy''s eyes even though his eyes was oozing with hate.


    "I will find you and you will pay for this!" The guy yelled at Meredith and As.


    He stormed away and disappeared into the crowd leaving Meredith with As.


    As turned to look at Meredith. He looked straight into her eyes and she looked straight into his.


    "Miss Rossi or I should call you Meredith?.."
