The chilling north wind was passing by randomly through a darkened room.The white transparent curtains were floating in the air as the winds blow by the half opened window. Over the pink colored bedsheet, a girl was sleeping soundly putting on a simple night gown. Her eyes were closed tightly but her sharp eyebrows were frowning together asionally appearing an exhausted face. Drops of sweat were slowly appearing on her forehead as her sleepy head was moving left and right vigorously as if she was recalling some haunted memories. IRIS''S POV~~ The hypocritical ringtone pierced through my eardrums breaking my beauty sleep as I jumped off from the bed panicking. My breathing was rapid as I exhaled some long breathe to stable the state of my mind. I felt my sweat dripping from my forehead following down to my corbone as I brushed my own palm over it. I was having those nightmares again. what should I say? Nightmares or Memory? I had been regrly having those pills prescribed by my psychiatrist. Still it showed no sign of stopping as I guess though she warned me previously that it would take some time to recover myself. My phone rang again loudly.. Again I jolted at the sudden interference and mentally cursed myself for setting this creepy song as my ringtone. Reluctantly I reached out for the phone through the amidst and finally saw the dialing screen. My heart skipped a bit and I consoled myself inwardly before tapping on the answer button. The cold, maic tone echoed in my ear, " What made you so long to take the phone?Do you think that I have so much free time to call you for a whole night?" I gulped down my fearful saliva and replied in a low voice though he was in fault, " I.. I''m sorry.. I was sleeping soundly.." In reply, I heard his sigh of anger as I waited to hear an erged cursing again. Much to my surprise, his voice turned soft but serious, " I have concealed your Identity to IRIS YOUNG. Get ready for tomorrow." I nodded without replying and parted my lips hesitantly to ask his whereabouts as I haven''t seen him for a few months. Before my words could leave my tongue, I heard the beeping sound from other side. I put down the phone and stared at the screen nkly. A bitter smile formed in my lips without my conscious as I felt my eyes tearing up. No, IRIS.. You can''t cry.. You have buried your old self years ago.. Don''t shed your tears anymore.. I lifted up myself from the bed and walked towards my half opened window as it gave the best view of the busy town. The shivering breeze weed my body as I felt a little cold on my sleepy face. As I looked up in the luminous sky, a round full moon with the warming light fell on my face showering me with it''s natural beauty. With a soft smile pestering on my lips, I enjoyed the peaceful view and shifted down my hazel eyes to see the top buildings in the capital. Putting on a soft smile, I spoke softly swinging in my memories, " HELLO SILVERSTONE CITY. LONG TIME.." The night passed by quickly. After tossing around in my bed, I fell asleep again burying my scars and pains that I couldn''t share with anyone.. NEXT DAY, I woke up from a urging tiny voice beside my ear, " Mommy.. mommy.. wake up.. wake up.. It''s 7..It''s 7..you need to go for work.." I shrugged nonchntly ignoring the voice and went back to sleep burying my head inside the pillow so that his annoying voice couldn''t reach my ears. But he was already habituated with my behaviour. Thus he increased the sound of his tone and repeated the lines again and again. I finally got up annoyingly and threw a cushion on his face yelling, " Stressed Tomato, can''t you just bear to see me in sleep?" I threw a harsh re on my home robot who was here early in the morning to break my beauty sleep. Well, I was basically ustomed to live alone by my own.But my dear besty Daisy Maxwell was firmly against it. She was majoring at robotic science in a renowned varsity here. At my 21st birthday, she gifted me this mini robot to take care of me. For god sake, I didn''t know that what kind of program that she set up inside this robot. It always trailed me wherever I go inside my house. Even if I coughed lightly, it would call the emergency number xxx to ask for any doctor. The worst part was that Daisy hadmanded him to call me mommy. As for it''s nickname, I chose to call him stressed tomato. It was tiny and round like a rolling ball along with his red painted steel material body just like a tomato.His facial expression seemed to me like a stressed one. Thus I nicknamed him as STRESSED TOMATO. Grunting annoyingly and scratching my messy hairs, I went to open the door. As soon as my ss door opened, an intense fragrance filled up my nostrils causing me to look into the kitchen subconsciously. And yeah,my anticipation was right.. There was she, Daisy Maxwell, my lovely bitchy best friend. I slowly walked towards the kitchen and mumbled standing at the doorway, " What.. are you doing here early in the morning?" She looked back at me smiling widely as her brown eyes were sparkling in excitement.Her hairs had boy cut giving off an intelligent woman vibe as she was damn talented. Her addiction had always been creating new robots. She licked her index finger greedily wiping off the ketchup and walked over me widening her bare arms to catch me in her embrace. I remained motionless as she pulled me into a tight hug before speaking anxiously, " Oh babe, I came to help you. This is your first day joining in the presidential team. I''m too much excited than you." She knocked my head lightly and continued, " I knew that you are azy pig and won''t get up early. So I thought of making this delicious dishes for you to celebrate your first day at work. " I smiled back with gratitude and she shoved me out urging, " Now, get your ass out of here.. Jesus, you are going to bete at the first day of your work.. Hurry up.. " Iughed before dragging my feet towards the washroom and spoke loudly, " Okay okay my dear aunty. I''m going to get ready within ten minutes." I entered the bathroom briskly and switched on the shower as the cold water poured over my messy hairs. I exhaled some long breath to refresh my mood as my right hand subconsciously reached for the soap. After finishing my quick shower, I stepped out from the bathroom wrapping the thick towel around my lightly soaked figure. I walked over to the closet and pushed it open quickly. My eyes fell on the branded clothes as I frowned hard choosing the best attire. I knew that all were branded clothes and some might be millions dor. But those all feel cringy over my body. Reluctantly I chose a ckberry colored sleeveless top hanging at the corner and put it down on my bed. I stood in front of the mirror staring at my reflection nkly. My skin was looking fresh and smooth after having the morning shower as I tried to smile. For some unknown reason, my smile looked so fake that even my eyes could tell it. My mind reverberated those words beforeing back in the city thus I sighed helplessly before forming a forceful smile. You must seduce the president...! Only your appearance canplete the mission..! Don''t you dare to cross your limit..! I will be eyeing over you always..! I shed away those thoughts forcefully and went for the top before unwrapping the towel around my body. I put on the top hugging till my knees as I went to switch on the hair dryer. I applied some light make up over my face and used the concealer to hide my dark circles. I left my hairs fall down randomly and painted my lips with the red one. Within five minutes, I finished off preparing myself as I looked back at the mirror to see my reflection and my mouth fell open in awe. Holy shit..!! I am looking like a seductress than an employer. Forget it..!! They had already told me earlier that I have to put on an attractive face to impress everyone as I will be the only female employer there. I stepped out from my room holding the pursue tightly and my other hand was carrying some documents of mine. As I went towards the dinning table, I found Daisy waiting for me already. She grinned like a fool and whistled looking at me from head to toe as I roll my eyes on her. I heard her ttering voice, " Oh my my! You are looking damn hot IRIS. Heez, I''m suddenly feeling worry for Mr. President and those girls who are dying over him." I took the chair opposite her and she continued lowering down her voice like a professional gossiper, " But I heard that Mr President is asexual. Although it was random rumors but his employers are male. By the way, how did you manage to get the job as a female?" She pointed her index finger on me and asked with a threatening tone, " Iris, are you trying to hiding from me? Or did you cast a magic spell over the president, huh? " I choked on my orange juice vigorously and replied, " Jeez, I have never seen the president in reality except those news channel. How on earth I will know him? One of my foreign friend managed this job for me as they were looking for a female secretary." I winked at her mischievously and added proudly, " My top-notch grades have passed the interview.. " Well, I felt proud of myself for graduating from two different subjects at a time. I had graduated at time, I had graduated at English literature from another renowned university at UX state as I had a deep attraction towards it. Daisy parted her lips to say something but I hauled up hurriedly when my eyes fell on the mechanic clock 7:40 Jeez! I can''t bete. I waved bye at her and quickly left my apartment running towards the half closing elevator as I shouted, " Wait..!" T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. I paused and stumped on my foot angrily for being too confident. Unexpectedly the elevator reopened and I smile lightly running into it. I thanked thedy who considered my request to wait for me as she smiled back sweetly. With a ding, the elevator reached at the ground floor and I rushed out without looking anywhere. Lucky I got the taxi as soon as I stepped out and instructed the driver briefly, " THE GRAY RESIDENT". The driver gave me a closer look as he started the taxi and I focused on rearranging my documents. About fifteen minutester, the taxi arrived at the resident and I scooped down even not bothering to take the changes from driver. I panted heavily as the guards checked my body to ensure the security. My ck heels tiptoed on the marble floor as I made my way inside the office. I found a boy at his twenties sitting on the reception and tapping on the keyboard professionally. I asked gently, " Excuse me, I''m a new employee here. Can you tell me that which department I should go?" The boy shifted his eyes from the screen and I clearly noticed the surprise shed in his eyes. He took a few seconds to give a reply as if he had been traumatised after seeing me. Do I look weird? He cleared his throat to avoid the awkwardness and nodded before responding robotically, " Yes. Take the elevator at the left and go at the 15th floor. You will find Mr.Scott''s office. He is the assigned boss of you, Miss Young." I calcted everything inside my head quickly as I''m a fast learner and ran towards the elevator without ncing anywhere. As I stepped into the elevator, I vaguely heard the boy''s voice wait but I ignored it and pressed the push button of 15th floor. I have to reach at Mr Scott''s office before 8. My phone vibrated a bit as I took it out from the purse and saw a message from Daisy. Iughed at her dirty words and thought of sending her a reply as it would take a few seconds still to reach the 15th floor. Suddenly the elevator flung open at the eighteenth floor as I focused on typing my keyboard and heard a man''s brief conservation over the phone. I vaguely felt a cold figure stepping into the elevator and stood just in front of me towering over my figure. Iughed loudly when I saw Daisy''s tant reply " Just don''t start licking his dick.I heard that he is damn handsome." As I stretched out my fingers to send a reply and suddenly felt a piercing gaze on me. I lifted up my suspicious gaze.. My whole body froze as I meet those blue ocean like eyes ogling at me. I spit out like a breathless whisper, " Mr.. Mr..President. " Chapter 2 ~ The National Husband~ Chapter 2 ~ The National Husband~ IRIS''S POV~ My legs were shaking vigorously as if I had just encountered a living ghost. Suddenly the fifteen metres spacious lift seemed so small to me that I felt like I was suffocating andcking of oxygen. I consoled myself inwardly encouraging myself, " Breath in, Breath out, Iris. Everything is gonna be fine. It''s just Mr President, Xavier Gray." Lucky he was still connected with the phone call and didn''t utter any words to me except throwing those eagle eyes on me ready to swallow me whole. I frowned slightly in dilemma and suddenly recalled that president''s office hadwork connection even inside the lift. But why will he appear inside my lift? Shouldn''t presidents have their personal lift? Confusion aroused across my puzzled mind as I shifted in my spot ufortably clutching the ironic phone in my palm.My phone beeped once again and I chopped Daisy into pieces inside my head.Soon after, he averted his eyes from me and I breathed heavenly. My eyes caught the dark tattoo on his neck behind as I frown admiring the smooth artwork.The head of the dragon was crafted over his white skin so smoothly that it appeared out like a part of his skin not seemed like an artificial once.But one thought that I was assured about that he was indeed damn handsome and deserved to be call the national husband. Under the white neon lights of the elevator, the straight nose of the handsome face revealed a beautiful silhouette. His thin lips were pursuing beautifully as he spit out each and every words wlessly and sometimes used English in British ent.His navy-blue suit gave off a domineering aura like a king of hell which was engulfing the whole air of the elevator gradually. Suddenly I felt that the elevator wasn''t going too fast. He nced behind to see my puzzled state and my eyes again met those blue eyes crystal clear reflecting my own silhouette into it. His eyes were too deep just like a bottomless vortex as if I would drown terribly into it which I didn''t want. At least I didn''te in that intention. Finally the elevator dinged as I dragged out my heavy body before him and I was Momentarily relieved that he was still on phone. I just want to vanish from his gaze within a second! As I took two quick steps ahead, a cold tone echoed in my eardrums as I closed my eyes shut in restlessness. Damn it.. you are dead, Iris. " Wait...!", Mr. President called me from behind as I turned back and found his dark face on me approaching slowly. I looked around nervously and found no one nearby as the elevator was built far away from the staff''s room. I gulped down when he cut off the phone call, stuffed the brand new iphone into his pocket and stepped closer near my fragile body. His expression seemed horrific as I nervously looked up to meet his hazel eyes. He asked frowning hard, " Who are you? Are you the secretary handled by Mr.Scott?" I nodded affirmatively and parted my lips to apologise but his words interrupted me first causing my heart beating abruptly. He asked pointing on the elevator coldly, " Are you blind? Didn''t you see the logo before entering the elevator? Such an undisciplined person. " My head sank as I titled my head to see the logo nkly and damn it. I pped myself mentally twice! How can you be so reckless Iris? You actually broke the rule at the first day of your work using President''s elevator! I quickly apologised before the situation goes out my hands and made a 360 degree bow, " I''m sorry.. I''m sorry, Mr President. I was in rush. Please punish me however you want." His expression sobered up a little as I noticed it from the corner of my frightened eyes. He waved his hand dismissively and ordered, " Go report yourself to Mr. Scott''s office. Remember that I don''t tolerate indisciplined people. If you continue being like this nonsensical human being, you will be fired before a week." I nodded vigorously and replied with gratitude, " Thank you, Mr. President. I won''t be disobedient ever." He hummed coldly and turned away as I heard his mumbling in a low voice, " That''s why I said, women are troublesome." I knitted my eyebrows and cursed his domineering attitude inwardly. He could have forgave me considering the fact that I was a newbie in his office. I kept my eyes focused on his retreating back and felt somehow bewildered by his charm.Two people wearing presidential uniform rushed towards him opening the office gate for him respectively as his silhouette vanished from my vision behind the ss door. My wrist watch suddenly beeped and my eyes went wider terribly. Damn it! It''s 8 A.M I dragged my heavy body towards a closed door where I spotted the logo Mr.Scott.I started running towards the door bumped into someone on the way whom I didn''t even bother to apologise. My mind was in haze as I pulled open the door abruptly stepping into the office panting heavily. I sucked some long breath and realised that I didn''t even knock! Damn it! Bad Day Indeed! I looked up nervously ready to hear another scolding but unexpectedly the man on the telephone gazed at me solemnly. His expression remained calm and nonchnt as I scratched my head out of embarrassment. Mr.Scott continued chatting on the telephone fluently speaking in English and asionally nced over me. He had a handsome face, straight nose and a strange aura of a decent man. My mind subconsciouslypared him with the president as I mentally cursed myself for having weird thoughts. Shortly after, he finally put down the phone and I initiated the conversation first fixing my top slightly, " I''m sorry, Mr. Scott. I was in bit hurry and forgot to knock the door." I continued faking a bright smile, " Hehe.. I hope you didn''t mind Mr.Scott.. I''m.." My words were interrupted again and I heard his calm tone, " Iris Young,you are two minuteste." I gulped my saliva nervously and he continued getting off from his office chair seriously, " Miss Young, you are aware of the fact that here, we follow some strict rules for our employees.Our president is very punctual about works and demands everything wless. You must be heard that there are no female employees in our whole office including the headquarters. President doesn''t like to be around woman. But due to some circumstances, we needed to hire a female secretary for him. Mr.Cullen suggested me to hire you but you still need to pass the president. You are quite intelligent and cunning woman as far as my investigation says. I have high hopes from you. Just don''t disappoint me, Miss Young. " I read his expression and understood the seriousness of my work. I smiled back assuringly that I would give my best and he led me towards the dragon''s cave. I mean, the president''s office! Well, I found Mr. Scott very cool man. Though his words were very straightforward but I liked the way he said that he had a high hopes from me. We walked across the corridor and I found several men eyeing over me who were busy in working.Well not like they were drooling over me, they seemed very much surprised and curious. I offered them a warm smile but in return, they remained unfazed and held a robotic expression. I twitched my lips sarcastically and followed Mr. Scott closely like a pet cat trailing her master. Jeez, why are everyone so serious here! He stopped at the entrance and ordered me to stay out of the office until he came back. I nodded like This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. an obedient student and waited outside patiently. XAVIER''S POV~ Fuck! That''s why I find women are troublesome! I was having an urgent meeting with the chiefmander and entered the elevator earlier. It took no time for me to understand that this girl might be the secretary that Scott had hired for me. Honestly I was firm against it but I needed apanion for god sake.Every time I joined a party or had any gathering with the foreigners,it required a femalepanion.Scott used to hire some top celebrities for me but they annoyed me so much that I even wanted to ban them from the industry.They used their own body on me like a cheap slut and wanted to get into my pants which I hated the most. Later Scott suggested that it seemed suspicious about my sexual orientation for not having any woman beside me. Moreover I knew that who was the mastermind behind it. It must be definitely my mom''s doing. She had been persisting for a year almost to get married or find a girlfriend. But I really haven''t felt any attraction towards any women till now. I don''t know why.. may be I don''t feel or I don''t want.! But I would be honest to say that this girl looked different from other women that I had around me in the past. Her face was wearing a blooming aura when my eyes caught her sight. She looked like a fresh flower who was born to make everyone smile subconsciously. Though she wore a very attractive dress but her appearance still seemed like a child and girlish to me. But something tingered in my mind when I met her drawn green eyes which never urred to me before! I sighed helplessly and leaned back against the head of the chair swinging in my memories. Those vagueughter from my memory cracked in my eardrums like a upbeat music as I shot open my eyes watching Scott entering in my office. I frowned slightly at his way and he took somerge steps stopping in front of my desk. His professionalism was always top notch as I waited to hear his words. He started speaking coldly and reprimanded each and every words, " Mr. President, the Secretary has already arrived and is waiting for your approval. I believe that she won''t disappoint you." I sneered and replied straightening up my upper body, " Disappoint? Well, she had sessfully disappointed me. You know she had taken my elevator without watching the logo. You think she can take care of my whole paradise? She needs to handle the headquarters and mypany both. From where did you find this girl, Scott? seriously.. " His face shed with disappointment and Iughed inwardly over my judgment proudly. Unexpectedly next moment his face turned serious as he exined like aposition assuring that he shouldn''t miss any single details, " I''m seeking forgiveness on her behalf Mr President. She is still new here and doesn''t know the rules well. I will strictly guide her and make perfect in every aspects. Moreover if you ask about her educational qualification, then I can say that you won''t have any doubt over it. She has graduated on two different subjects at a same time from the renowned varsities around the world.She stillpleted some external courses over programming and game developing. She can drive all kinds of cars and knows more than 7nguages around the world due to her living days in foreign countries. She is quite ambiguous over her work and takes everything seriously what she intends to do. " He paused between his words as my face sank over her biography. Then I heard his pleading voice, " So I think you should give her a chance at least. In this way you can close down those rumours about you too. " Okay.. I give up.. Scott has be professional over persuading me in this years staying by my side. I waved my hand dismissively and ordered briefly, " Let her in but she must pass my interview or else not. " Scott gave me anotherst bow and headed outside quickly. I rolled my eyes and waited patiently to meet the strange girl keeping my sharpened eyes on the entrance! AUTHOR''S NOTE: Leave yourments and reviews if you''re interested to know the whole story. Chapter 3 ~Satin Cemetery ~ Chapter 3 ~Satin Cemetery ~ IRIS''S POV~~ I stood at the doorstep patiently as my curious gaze were fixed on it like a superglue. The guards in presidential suit all had an aloof and robotic face as if we were in a prison. I took another deep rxation breath and wandered my eyes around to find out something and spent my leisure time so far. Suddenly the door was pushed open and I straightened up abruptly before looking up on the way. Mr.Scott held a cold face and unreadable expression which made me shift ufortably in my spot. Taking somerge steps in front of me, he ordered looking through my eyes sternly, " Go inside. Mr President is waiting for you." I nodded affirmatively and then heard him say again softly, " Just be yourself, Iris. I know Mr President. As long as you don''t try to be over confident or pretend to be something special which you aren''t, you will pass the interview. Make a good use of your sharp brain." I gazed at his eyes deeply before nodding my head slightly and made my way inside the office. I gave two light knocks on the door respectively and got a cold brief answer, " Come in. " I took another deep breath before stepping into the carpeted floor and entered swiftly.As soon as I entered, my mouth fell open in awe looking at the decoration around the room. The whole office room was decorated so beautifully that one could take few moments to enjoy its a moment, I was lost in the beauty. shing away my thoughts forcefully, I looked up at the figure forward and found his aloof face expressionless. His blue eyes were locked on theputer screen as he typed on the keyboard skillfully pressing down his slender nails symmetrically. I cleared my throat hesitantly as I stepped near introducing myself, " Hello, Mr. President. I''m Iris Young, Mr. Scott has ordered me toe inside." He responded briefly still tapping on the keyboard, " Take a seat, Miss Young." I pulled out a chair and upied a spot obediently still facing his cold aura.Shortly after, he stopped typing on the keyboard and averted his blue eyes on myplicated face. I recalled the earlier advices given by Mr.Scott as I gazed at him back boldly though my heart skipped a beat looking at those mystical eyes. His expression somehow became strange a little as he asked sitting straight back and looking at my face, " Tell me one reason, Miss Young, why should I hire you among all the talented women?" My body stiffed a little but I quickly regained back my rationality as I replied while smiling, " Because I''m multi talented." His expression dropped off as his brows raised up amusingly and I continued looking at him chivalrously, " I''m an expert onputer science, literature and programming.Except this, I have brief knowledge over business stocks and political affairs. Thus you won''t have to find out different people to handover the tasks that you want to do in this criteria. You can easily handover them to me as I will always be around with you. In a word, you won''t have to waste extra money over others.Buy one get unlimited free. " He nodded his head slightly and replied resting his palms over the desk, " Quite reasonable. I have one morest question for you. " I nodded and said, " Sure. " He sighed softly and asked keeping his eyes over my face as if he was trying to read my every emotions, " If one day, you and I fall in danger together, who will you save first if you were asked to save between you and me?" Finally my time came to waver his cold heart! Remember this, if you are here to y with a big shot, wait for the right time to waver his heart until he finds you different. Well, that''s what I had learned from a certain person who had been doing well without me.. Probably.. I smiled lightly and replied looking through his intimidating gaze, " Of course, myself Mr President. " A slight frown of confusion appeared on his handsome face as if he wasn''t ready to hear this unexpected answer. But I continued secretly clutching the clothes of my top over my thighs, " At first, I''m not your bodyguard who is in charge to ensure your safety. I will be your secretary and helping hand. Undoubtedly anyone will choose her own life first unless.." I paused a bit purposely to see his expression which was darkened and added purposely, " you fall in love. Because only in true love, people choose their partner''s life before her." I finished my words and looked up waiting for his answer toe out. His expression turned puzzled and unreadable as he kept staring at my face nkly. He diverted his gaze from me and got up walking near the transparent ss as he responded absentmindedly, " You can go and report yourself to Scott. From today onwards, you are my secretary. He will give you further instructions about your work schedule." I didn''t dare to waste my time anymore thus I was already lucky enough to pass the interview. I gave a respectful bow and turned around holding my staffs. As soon as I stepped out, my anxious mind subconsciously inhaled a long sigh of relief. I spent whole day only by understanding my works under Mr.Scott''s guidance. Later he led me meet with the office staffs who all seemed like a pathetic robots to me without smiling or talking. I wondered over the fact that was it forbidden tough office? After few hours, my head almost started spinning like a wheel when Mr.Scott exined me the whole thing. From my knowledge, I figured out that this handsome president owned various properties all over the state and mostly were from the expensive areas. I wandered that what will he do with this properties? He doesn''t even have a girlfriend jeez. For the whole day, I didn''t meet Mr President. for a minute thus I wasn''t appointed officially. My real work would be starting from tomorrow directly from Mr President''s apartment. After an exhausted day, I reached at my own apartment around 7pm. I creaked open the door and immediately was weed with my baby''s mechanical tone. Mama is home.. Mama is home.. Stressed Tomato spoke out loud while dragging his steel body out of my bedroom. I chuckled in amusement slipping out from my high heels and rubbing my sore toes gently. I hate high heels. It just gives me extra amount of pain! I approached near the couch and my eyes went wide at the staffs hanging down from it. I lifted up the My face turned ck in anger as I scolded stressed tomato behind, " Tomato, didn''t you warn Daisy that not to take her fatty boyfriend inside my house?" Jees! It must be Daisy who made love on the couch with her damn boyfriend. He is just a fat, round This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. panda.. How do they get along! In response, tomato repeated the phrase continously, " Daisy locked tomato inside the bedroom.Daisy locked tomato inside the bedroom." I shook my head desperately and threw those panty and bra far away from the couch. I settled down myself on the couchfortably whereas tomato offered me a ss of water. I rubbed my sore temple before gulp it down quickly. Later I took a fresh shower and received my ordered foods from the delivery boy. By the time, I finished my regr activities, it was around 10pm. I started watching the tv shows and suddenly my eyes fell on my phone still chewing the chips. My heart wrenched a little at the sudden thought of chatting with him. I tried to hold back my thoughts knowing the oue but at the end, I took it up. Tapping on the phone, I finally dialed the number as my breath hitched in fear. The phone ringed but no one answered. I felt disappointed and happy at the same time for not connecting the phone call. My lips subsequently formed a bitter smile before dragging my tensed up body inside my bedroom. I buried my head inside the fluffy pillow and soon after consumed into a sound sleep. I didn''t know how many hours that I had slept for. When I woke up from my nightmare screaming aloud like a little child, I was feeling suffocated like before. My eyes diverted towards the curtains that were floating in the air highly. Thunder growled in the sky weing thousands raindrops which were asionally passed through my half opened window. Steadying my breathing speed, I tugged off the nket from my body before slowly reaching near the window side. It was another rainy day just like that night! My vision shed with some unpleasant memories that were buried in my heart. A teardrop fell down from the corner of my eyes when her screaming tone pierced through my memory.. Iris, Run... Run.. Iris...!! You are the bravest child, you remember!! Run..! Don''t turn back, Run..! Those noises stopped inside my head as I held back my choking hardly. My mind wasn''t in peace as I walked over the cab to find out my raincoat. I needed to find my inner peace and only that ce could give me peace... Peace.. that''s what I had been looking for in all this years..! Slipping inside my raincoat, I pulled up the hoodie to cover my face before heading for my discerned ce. Half an hourter, I finally reached at the Satin Cemetery ignoring the heavy rain that were pouring down on my body. Standing away from the cemetery''s main gateway, I clutched the white roses in my hand tightly before moving forward. The cemetery had only two neon lights vaguely illuminated the whole area as my cream from the doorway made an thrilling noise in this rainy weather. I located the certain point of the cemetery before walking forward as my boots asionally sshed against the muddy water beneath. Finally my heavy footsteps stopped in front of a tombstone as I fell down my hoodie to specte it more vividly. Finally I sensed the inner peace that I was craving for. Kneeling down, I ced those white roses in front of tomb before asking out bitterly, " You missed me?" Before I could say another words, I heard hasty footsteps behind my back as my eyes darkened. The constant sound of sshes against the muddy water created a danger vibe around the ce as I stood up unfazed. I didn''t bother to turn around as I was already knew what was going on exactly. Smirking slyly, I was waiting for their response but no one talked. Were they waiting for me to initiate the conversation? Giving up this hide and seek game, I finally turned around before gazing at them deeply. Another series of thunder along with thunderbolts fell upon the Satin Cemetery lightening their ck figures that had perfectly hidden their true features. I smiled provocatively and asked the almighty god looking up in the sky... Can peace never stay in my life for a single moment? Chapter 4 ~Well Played ~ Chapter 4 ~Well yed ~ ?THEME SONG OF THE CHAPTER? ¡ï Monster by Shawn Mendes, Justin Bieber ¡ï IRIS''S POV~~ My eyes swiped over those ck uniforms that made me frowning hard undoubtedly. I wasn''t acknowledged with their uniforms or nor could I remember to see them before. Except their eagle eyes, every part of their body was wrapped in a tight ck polo outfit. Their aura was definitely frightening but not enough to frighten my spirit as I exhaled an exhausted sigh. No more y today! Please! Whom does they belong to exactly? As my right palm subconsciously travelled up to my waistline intending to pull out my treasure, they were rmed at my single movement immediately. Pointing up their military riffle towards my head,I decided to low down my hand swiftly as one of them " Hands off little girl. Don''t try to act smart and follow us quietly." I sighed shrugging my shoulders off before put my palms together behind my head instinctively. One of the youngdy in ck reached behind my back before covering my face with a ck vessel. After that they quickly started dragging me towards an unknown path that I couldn''t able to see through it passing the thickyer of clothe over my gaze. After throwing me inside a backseat of the car, it drove away speedily ignoring the heavy rain as I heard thedy beside me informed her boss victoriously, N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. " We finally got her. On the way, boss." I wandered who could be the boss exactly! I just have arrived in the city for a few days! Don''t tell me it has something to do with him? ??????''? ???~ When I reached at my Party office on elephant Road, the members seemed rather excited than me and stood up abruptly appearing pale drastically. I don''t know what made them so frightened about me! I admit that I might be a bit different or ruthless when ites to dealing with my enemies but it didn''t mean that I would be ruthless unnecessarily over them too. Why should I? They are my people! I knew that they had nned a surprise party for my birthday today. Even though I didn''t feel super excited like normal people but my mom insisted on having fun with them for the entire night. Thus I had no way out rather than arriving here. As I plopped down my discerned spot at the middle of the crowd, they all wished me one by one beaming into a flirtatious smile, " Happy birthday, Mr President." " Long live the King of nation." I smiled with gratitude before toasting our wine sses together as I took a swip from my wer. The younger members of my party were too excited while decorating the cake for me as I shook my head helplessly. They still feel it so fascinating to do even after all this years..! As they all cheered me to cut the cake now, Scott made a sudden appearance beside my side hastily. He whispered cautiously in my ears notifying me about a sudden information as my eyes darkened after hearing out the chaos. I ordered him briefly, " Call Derek. I need him to reach at the boarder now." Scott noddedprehensively as I hauled up from my spot drifting further apart from the cheering crowd. I didn''t want to add them in this chaos nor did I wish to spoil their moods because of my personal reasons. My eyes fell over the drizzling nkly through the transparent ssdoors that were falling down symmetrically on the Xmas trees. I waited for Scott''smand and soon after it really happened as he confirmed its done. Not to my surprise, my phone vibrated as I smirked knowingly before stuffing my hand into my pocket. Unlocking the screen, I saw the familiar number for the hundredth times must be before tapping on the answer button ready to hear him boasting proudly, " Happy Birthday Mr.Gray..Aaahh...All of them must be celebrating this special day." I chuckled lightly giving him short yet unexpected reply, " Thank you..!" He was a little taken back before informing me sarcastically, " Well, I have prepared a present for you. Wanna see? Here... " My eyes dimmed as I heard my man''s howling tone pleading and begging me constantly, " Boss... Boss... They have.. abducted.. my daughter... Boss.. please don''t abandon me.. Boss.. Boss.." I clenched my teeth tightly as my grip over the half foggy ss tightened harder. Controlling my rage inwardly,I heard his tone once again coldly, " How was that? Did you like my gift? Tsk.. Some people never learn just like you. We never win this game but still we y. I guess this time, perhaps the winner is determined by the god.. That''s... m..." His words was interrupted at midway as I heard one of his man freaking out over the phone, " Boss...We are done.. All of our staffs had been confined by another gang group. What should we do now? It was nearly billion dors. " He gasped before continuing, " But the worst part was that they had been arrested by the polices and must be tracing for the mastermind. What should we do? We were so cautious and it never urred before." I smirked taking another sip leisurely from my cold wine as I heard him falling in silence exhaling a low of raspy breathing. His voice sounded indifferent saying me, " Well yed Xavier! " Before I could give him a reply, he directly cut off the call leaving meughing victoriously. It had been so many years, still he never gave up on me. I was honestly tired of ying this mouse and cat games which had caused so many people to be killed or injured. But I was habituated over this matters as ying with blood had be a fantasy since my childhood. You can never escape your own fate no matter where you go or where you run! Turning around, I pped my hands to seize back their attention over me and urged forming a blissful smile thar made their faces awestruck, " Let''s cut the cake boys. It''s party time. " Chapter 5 ~Broken Pendant ~ Chapter 5 ~Broken Pendant ~ ?THEME SONG OF THE CHAPTER? ~ y With Fire By Sam Tinnsez ~ IRIS''S POV~~ When the car horned loudly snatching back my attention from the whirling sound of raindrops that were dripping down over the sses profusely. I didn''t had no idea where we were heading for as the ride was unexpected quite and dull. Despite hearing some car horns asionally, I didn''t hear their voices at all. Taking an U turn, the car parked in a rush as I heard the car door opening with a loud thud. Soon after the sharp tongued woman pulled me out of the car still in my blindfold as the rains poured down on my head heavily. Hissing annoyingly, they dragged me towards a way as I showed no ounce of protest. I needed to see the boss who actually sent his people to kidnap me as soon as I stepped in this city. After that, my paces were stopped forcefully as she fell me down on the floor ruthlessly. I grunted in pain as soon as the cold floor touched my skin. This girl is getting on my nerves, seriously! As I patted on my pants instinctively but didn''t dare to unfold my blindfolds even though my hands weren''t cuffed. I had basic knowledge about few underground gangs who seemed to set some weird rules among its members. Thus I didn''t n to infuriate them more unfolding my blindfold. As I continued patting, an old yet powerful voice suddenlymanded assuming to stay a few steps away from me, " Tie her against a chair. I need to vent out my rage over this bitch." My face darkened at his call as I clenched my teeth hard. Surely two figures came behind my back before hauling me up from the floor forcefully. Forcing me down on a chair, I sensed a thickyer of rope that was circting around my upper figure tightly. After binding mepletely, the old voice ordered thundering the surrounding, " Unfold her eyes now. Tsk.. She is way too smart and knows the ground rules." I stayed quite even though my patience was breaking down slowly. As soon as one of them tugged down the fold slowly, my vision was still blurry until I cleared it shaking my head few times. Lifting up my gaze slightly, I saw the man sitting opposite of me crossing his legs like a boss. Noticing his facial features, I saw little wrinkles on his face confining his old age that had left signs on his face. His hairs were silver white glistening under the dim lights that made me wandering around suspiciously. I was taken inside a vip lounge that must be owned by any city bar nearby. Hearing the low music The well spacious room was upied only those uniformed members and me who were ogling at me ready to hunt me down anytime. Shifting my eyes over the old man who had a grim face that made me scratching my head hard to find out that had I ever beat him or not. But the answer was no! I had never seen him before nor did I try to poke my nose in his organisation. ring at me for a while, he hauled up from the couch gently before taking beasty steps towards me. I lifted up meeting his hateful gaze but unexpectedly a hard p fell on my cheek causing my face to turn sideway grunting a little. My face burnt like fire and assumed that probably it left fingerprints too. Gasping loudly, my chilling gazended on him as he asked referring to the person, " Where is he?" Damn! I knew it..! Secretly scolding hard, I answered shrugging my shoulders, " I don''t know." The man was expecting my answer and suddenly another hard p fell on my untouched cheek making my grunting loudly. Hanging my face sideway, his vicious tongue buzzed in my eardrums, " You don''t know, bitch or you don''t want to say? Do you think that he can control our actions hiding in UG state?" I sighed helplessly knowing that he won''t believe my answer but still replied straightforwardly, " Both !" Looking up at him, I saw his face had turnedpletely ck in rage as I stretched out his hand to grab my bunny hairs instinctively. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. All of sudden, one of his member rushed inside the lounge gasping loudly. As soon as he spotted my reddened cheeks and the action of boss, he shouted hysterically, " Boss.. Boss.. No.. Don''t touch her.. Don''t.." I frowned slightly as all of them red at him questioningly. Removing his ck mask, the brown haired boy informed gasping like a marathon horse, " I just got to know that she isn''t any mere member. We shouldn''t touch her. " The old man asked in a extremely cold voice, " Why?" The boy nced at me fearfully before replying in a shuddering tone, " She.. she is.. especial to him.." The bold man burst out intoughter before pointing at me sarcastically, " Did you get drunk, Tony? He will take a fancy to this woman who don''t have a single strength to protest against us. Seriously?" I ignored his words and paid extra attention to my surroundings. The boy tried to speak but the old man cut off his words coldly, " Get the hell out of my sight. You only know how to spoil our n. " The boy still tried to stop him considerably, " But.. Boss..." The sharp tongued woman who seemed to poses a narcissistic character warned him threateningly, " Tony.. Get lost from here. When did you provide us any urate information? How could you think that the mighty King of our world would take a liking on this little slut?" I felt my blood boiled as the way she tagged ne with that word and praised him so highly who seemed not to done a single good works in my eyes. Furthermore I had a gut feeling that her tongue resounded jealous more than cursing. Ignoring the boy''s rmpletely, they all shifted their attention on me once again as I watched the old man nkly. Sneering at my face disdainfully, he stated gritting his teeth together tightly, " Listen girl, just tell me his location as fast as possible. We don''t intend to betray them but he isn''t agreeing to meet me at any cost because of a mere mistake. I just want to know his whereabouts so that I can visit him and solve this issues. But he haspleted erased his location and now I have no way out to reach him. " I was speechless before turning dumbfounded. Can this man be more unreasonable? He continued as I saw him getting anxious, " We have a million dors hanging deal. I can''t sleep without solving it. Come on, tell me fast. Where is he? " I shook my head helplessly and med my destiny to know that man ever. Lifting up my hazel eyes, I answered him sincerely, " I told you that I don''t know. " The man clenched his fists together before turning his face to the wrapped woman asking suggestions beastly, " What should I do with her, Britney?" He averted his fired eyes on me and continued, " She is stubborn brat and isn''t willing to hear me obediently." The woman sneered before answering mercilessly, " Torture her, boss. She needs to remind our lessons. " Bargaining like a cheap y, the man asked raising up his eyebrows, " What do you suggest? " The woman pondered for a while until her thirsty eyes located the pendant in my corbone sternly. Locating the iron chain around it, she suggested grinning devilishly, " How about leaving some scars on her beautiful corbone? " The man immediately followed her gaze and admitted with deep thoughts frankly, " That''s a savage way to torture her, Britney. You are a wise woman." The girl bowed respectively shooting me death re as I saw his hand approaching near my pendant, my weakest spot. Almost instantly, my sleeping demon took over my soul as I blurted out warning, " Don''t you dare to touch my pendent. I swear that you won''t end up with good." My voice sounded thrilling as the air inside the room turned stiff after my words earning various surprised res from them. Even the old man was a little taken back after my warning but quickly regained hisposure before beaming into a devilish smile. Mocking my threat, he eximed teasingly, " Tsk.. Tsk.. Looks like we have figured out your weakness stubborn brat. well.. well.. then.." All of sudden, he leaned towards me before clutching my ssy pendent so hardly that it broke along with a crisp sound in front of my stunned eyes. As I felt my heart shattering into pieces looking down nkly at his clenched fist as I heard his devilish tone lowly, " I should break it fast." In no time, I threw a hard kick on his groin using my free leg as hard as possible. He howled in pain before flying over to the couch swiftly. I was so furious that my body was shivering all over as I gazed around others who were proceeding towards me. Hauling up hastily with the chair and bindings, I skillfully used my both legs one by one to smash their body however. As the rope loosened after my constant jumping and kicking actions, I pulled them off from my upper body before rubbing my sore arms. Looking down over those lying figures, I saw the mascara that I had created before giving another hard kick on that devil woman who was howling after having some good kicks on her backs. The members were all growling in pain holding their stomach or legs, my eyesnded on the old boss who was struggling to get up. Walking over to him, I asked buzzing my voice in the air, " Where''s my ne?" Well, he was an another stubborn brat who wasn''t ready to put down his pride in front of him. Gaining thest bit of courage that was left inside him, he replied cursing me once again, " Bitch.. how dare you hit my people.. Do you know.. who am.." I didn''t let him finish his word before picking up the half broken chair from the marble floor quickly. Whirling it in the air for a while, I broke itpletely on his back as he winched in pain before kneeling down and fell off tly. His old face got several bruises which I didn''t care. I asked one more time while my eyes wandered around anxiously, " If you want to stay live just tell me where''s my ne." I fisted his white hairs erged and asked onest time controlling myself, " Or else I will burn the whole lounge along with your troop trust me. I can do it." He trembled at my words before pointing under the couch with his shaky finger. I quickly let him off before scrunching down and gazed underneath the couch scanning deeply. My heart was beating abruptly as the pain lowly engulfed my mind. I couldn''t believe it that I had lost it after so many years of protection. After searching through for a while, I finally spotted the two broken pieces at a corner and quickly pulled it out holding so cautiously that seemed like an invaluable treasure. Well it might not be a treasure for anyone but it was a treasure for me that I had been guarding for all this years but today it finally left me. Fighting between my rage and tears, I stood up from the ground and intended to leave this spot as soon as possible or I really might kill everyone present here. As I walked over the ss door, a boy from the down tried to stop me holding my feet. I stumped on his hand so hardly that might have broken his fingers shouting loudly, " Fuck Off...!" I ignored their existence before opening the ss door and walking out absentmindedly clutching those two broken pieces. Heading outside, my tears finally escaped from my eyes as I walked towards the heavy rain slowly. Standing under the heavy raindrops that were showering me heavenly, I knelt down on the midnight''s empty street weakly. My tears were falling down uncontrobly as the rain shed them away quickly deceiving the outsiders that I wasn''t crying. I let my tears fall down until I felt my breathing rapid and unsteady. Stretching out my palm gently, I murmured choking vigorously, " Why everyone leaves me! Why!" I screamed along with the thunderbolts loudly looking up at the sky, " Why did you do this to me! Why!! Why!!" I asked and cried constantly until my throat dried..! Chapter 6 ~Dont Do That~ Chapter 6 ~Don''t Do That~ ~~ THEME SONG OF THE CHAPTER ~~ ~~ Safari By Serena ~~ IRIS''S POV~~~ After drenching like a crow under the heavy rainfall, I finally managed to return to my apartment holding those broken pieces more likely my broken heart pieces. I didn''t bother to look for the gang anymore nor did I bother to check on it. After sobbing for an hour probably, I finallyid down on my warm bed and soon after sleep consumed me before I could over think further. The rest of the night passed away quickly until the rming ringtone broke my beauty sleep once again as I shifted annoyingly over my fluffy pillow. Squeezing my eyes shut, I reached for the phone that was ringing and vibrating over the desk continously. As soon as the call was connected, I heard an unknown tone that quickly snapped me out from my wild dreams, " Miss Young, you need to reach over at President''s Vi before 7 a.m. Remember to reach before time." I jolted up from the bed before taking nce from the table clock that showed 6a.m I thanked Scott internally as he considered to remind me an hour ago. I responded briefly before hauling up from my messy bed and ran towards the bathroom. I definitely shouldn''t bete today no matter what..! After having a warm shower that sessfully faded away my sleepy head, I walked over the cab before choosing shirt and skirt that reached till my knees. Without caring about my make up today, I only applied lipbum on my lips and made a bun upwards tightly. Heading outside, I stuffed some breads hastily as tomato reminded me in his robotic tone, " Mommy should have full breakfast." I ignored his order and replied throwing a fly kiss, " Not today, sweetheart. You don''t want me to loose my job, don''t you? Take care of the apartment, love." I finished my words before striding downstairs through the elevator as soon as possible. Lucky I got a cab soon after thus I started for the Rainton Vi fast. Around one hourter, I arrived at the exact location that Scott had sent me in my phone. Paying off the bill, Inded down slowly as my eyes caught the image of hisvishing vi surrounded by hundreds of guards who all were uniformed in ck suit. Walking towards the entrance, I gave my brief introduction as the guards let me in after checking my body curiously. Passing the giant doorway, I started heading for the indoor area through the path that had two rows of bodyguards from both sides. They all had a robotic expression and perhaps I would have considered them death if they didn''t keep breathing. Looking up at the two storied building,I saw the exterior which were all designed with blue cryst lined tiles that resembled the color of ocean. The outdoor was amodated with a well spacious garden that had various flowers blossoming happily. I must have admitted that he was way too unique judging the environment as president. After entering the downhall, I spotted no one thus called out politely hoping to see anyone, " Hello.. Hello.. Is there anyone? Mr President??" I stopped midway when I saw an elderly woman peeking at me from the kitchen. She smiled sweetly as if we were familiar for a long time and answered, " Oh dear, you must be his new secretary. Go upstairs. He is over there. " I thanked politely before climbing upstairs offering her a sweet smile. Stopping in front of a half opened door, I spotted the navy blue suite over the bedside thus I was sure that it was his room. Knocking twice, I got no response and skidded inside calling him out gently. My eyes were widened in amusement when the various paintings got my attraction too fast. I momentarily forgot that I was standing inside the nation god''s room, I started observing the award winning paintings that moved my heart quickly. Tiptoeing on the floor, I scanned them one by one until the bathroom door was opened gently without notifying me. As I was too devastated into those paintings, his maic tone came from my back, " When did youe? Shouldn''t you have knocked?" I jolted turning around as my mind went nk for a while spotting the god gifted muscr figure ahead. After having shower, his skin gleamed more fresh like a breathtaking vampire who could be devoted by anyone. Those oceanic eyeballs appeared more seducing under the drizzles of his tossled hairs that had reached down nearly his left eyelids. The droplets were still on his corbone area that made his skin too much refreshing. I couldn''t shift my sinful eyes away for a moment until his voice hit my brain, " Miss Young?!" I jolted lowering down my eyes awkwardly and replied truthfully, " Sorry, I didn''t hear any response and thought of taking a look inside." He hummed coldly before reaching to take up his suit. Thus I hurriedly suggested intending to approach him, " Let me help you.." " No need!", his voice was sharp as my silhouette paused midway abruptly. Blinking my eyes awkwardly, he continued lowering the range of his tone, " I don''t like being touched by women. Keep your distance from me." I was a little taken back over his attitude and hummed coldly retreating a step backward. He proceeded wiping his shiny droplets swiftly and asked nonchntly, " How did you arrive so fast? Did you live nearby.. " He paused abruptly before ncing at my way sharply as if he had just found a mystery of mine. Touching my face awkwardly to sense anything wrong, I saw him approaching towards while I remained dumbfounded. He stopped just in front of me giving me suspicious nces as he inquired straightforwardly, " Do you have husband?" I was stunned before shaking my head nkly. Frowning his refreshed eyebrows deeply, he " Move your face sideway." I blinked without registering his words but his fiery eyes couldn''t give me any chance to rebuke his face side. But the next moment, he cursed me viciously, " Are you girls fond of getting tortured by a man who don''t know how to cherish you? Huh??" I stuttered without having the damn ideas of his tant words, " What.. what.. do you mean.." Much to my surprise, he suddenly pulled me towards him before leading us in front of his full viewed dresser hastily. I staggered abruptly before stopping ahead facing his darkened expression. I ordered drooping his displeased eyes sternly, " Turn your head a little and see what reward you have got." I frowned slightly before tilting my head side away facing his bare figure from ahead. Before I could examine my face, I spotted our improper posture into the mirror that showed my full back including his bare figure. He was towering over me gazing at me through the mirror harshly as my heart skipped a beat hearing his abrupt heartbeats. Finally I noticed the red imprinted marks over my cheek that possibly left by the bastardst night. Shit..! Why didn''t I put on my makeup today.! But he definitely misunderstood something as I heard him continuing in a cold voice, " You know, miss young the more you will y weak, the more this world gonna treat you like trash." I didn''t know why his words hit the core of my heart as I apologised quickly not providing him any exnation, " I''m sorry, president. Let me cover it. I forgot to apply make up today. " He stopped me blocking my slipping figure and huffed coldly, " No need! I have something in my room. You don''t need to show off your personal life roaming outside more and more." I was left with no words against his harshmands as I saw him heading for the drawer behind me. I shifted an inch away awkwardly afraid of being touched by him as he had justmanded me to maintain our distance firmly. He pulled out an antibiotic ointment making me frown slightly. Pulling out a cotton bar, he turned towards me lifting his hand up as I watched his movements nkly. His gaze was sharper than knife that cut through my heart and gave me wild thoughts in my sinful mind. Frowning deep hard, he suddenly gripped my chin as I jolted against his icy touch. He spoke indifferently scanning those finger marks, " Let me help you with that. You don''t know how to use it anyways." He stated before attaching some cream on the cotton as I remained frozen and watched his skillful movements. His gaze was attentive as he closed the gap between us before attempting to touch my cheek once again. I jolted as he pressed the cotton on my cheek that hurt a little. He asked in a gentle tone, " Does it hurt?" I answered negatively while keeping my eyes locked on his attentive expression. He inquired continuing his task gently, " Does he hurt you always?" I answered absentmindedly while felt too devastated by his gentle care, " Yes...!!!" He paused shooting me cold re as I felt a chill running down through my spine asking, " Why don''t you leave him?" I quickly snapped out from my wild thoughts before asserting his questions carefully. Wait, what was he talking about? I parted my lips to correct him but his voice came out first leaving me speechless, " You know Miss Young, you don''t have to be so weak in front of a man just because you love him. Open your eyes and see that how many men desire for you." I opened my mouth to speak up but nothing came out as I didn''t know how to exin the situation. Thus subconsciously I bite down my bottom lips dropping my eyes on the cold floor hesitantly. He spoke abruptly, " Don''t do that.. " I was confused before looking up and spit out nkly, " Do what?" Asking back, I bite down my bottom lips once again as it was my bad habit that I couldn''t get over it in years. He hissed softly giving me an annoying look as I blinked abruptly. Shifting his eyes once again over my face, I noticed the excitement behind his gaze that made my heart skipped a bit. Closing our tiny gap once again until my back faced the edge of his bed, he whispered in my face gazing through my ttered eyes, " You don''t know how much you appear seductive when you bite down your lips, do you?" I was nk headed by his ambitious statement as my breathing hitched noticing the minor gap between our faces. Just another inche, our lips could collide into one. I gulped down appearing restless when I found him not moving a bit from my face. His gaze was firm and unmoved from my firing face as I gulped down my saliva. I don''t know why he could easily waver my heart in a short time that never happened staying with that person ever..! He leaned in slowly towards my quivering lips as I couldn''t hold back the anxiety within me anymore. Thus I squeezed my eyes shut in shot while trembling inwardly. He was still leaning towards my me as I could sense his raspy breathing over my skin anticipating a sinful moment in my head. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. A kiss!! Was he attempting to kiss me? I didn''t know but still I squeezed and assumed random things inwardly. What was happening with me? Chapter 7 ~What Is Happening Here? Chapter 7 ~What Is Happening Here? XAVIER''S POV~~ I saw her squeezing her eyes shut as she trembled violently like a fallen leaf. I couldn''t possibly move away from her painted lips but the fingermarks bothered my mind a lot. I couldn''t even figure out a reasonable answer to feel so much bothered about her within a day. Do I even know her? Absolutely no! She had been working under me just for a day and I seemed to talk with her only few times. I spected her long eyshes that were quivering like a fallen stream as my soft smile escaped through my lips. Did I just smile? Hell no! I should just restraint myself. What was I going to do? My eyes drooped down on her inviting lips once again as I felt my throat drying. The way, her tongue bite down her bottom lips, it only gave me the urge to seize a little bit taste of her ruby lips but I couldn''t do it. I am a gentleman and the idol of this whole nation. I can''t take advantage of my newly appointed secretary. Can I? I warned myself thousand times while stealing the fresh fragrance of her shampooed hairs that was filling up my nostrils gently. Gulping down my own saliva, I finally pressed the ointment on her cheeks as her body jolted rapidly before calming down exhaling a restless sigh. I could tell that she was having weird thoughts about us but nothing was gonna happen. Xavier Gray never knows to steal other people''s thing, sweety! It took a bit moment to slow down my unstoppable heartbeat before I turned on my professional mood paying back my full attention on her remark. She hissed at my light touches scrunching in pain as I tried my best not to glimpse at her perverted lips anymore. After a while, I quickly separated myself from her alluring body and spoke somehow in a weird tone, " Go downstairs. I''ming in a while." She blinked abruptly before giving me a slight nod and flew away clutching her staffs as if one moment spending here would cost her life. An unexpected smile left through my lips as I saw her frightening back striding downstairs hastily. Interesting! IRIS''S POV~~ Aftering downstairs, I saw the dinning table full of various luxurious breakfasts that left with awe statement. Holy Shit! Is he going to devour everything? As he climbed down wearing his navy blue suit and took his kingly spot middle on the table, I stood far away and waited for him to be finished soon. I tried to avert my eyes somewhere else from the inviting table.But my stomach betrayed my thought as I asionally nced at those delicious breakfasts that could bring saliva in anyone''s tongue.Moreover I had only breads in the morning. Despite being left with awkwardness, the president didn''t pay any attention on my way and started tasting each dishes slowly. Even his movements were so wless that I admired his activity involuntarily. Can a man be so perfect? My dropping eyes jerked off at the voice of a middle aged woman calling me out gently, " Miss, join him in breakfast." I looked up and found a woman at her forties nearly standing at the kitchen door wearing a white apron and suggesting me with a warm friendly smile. I denied respectively, " No, I''m fine.I had my breakfast already." " Sit Down", another maic voice interrupted us beforepleting my words as I nced at the way of the tone. Mr President ordered biting on his jellybean bread gently as he threw a questioning gaze on me. I still preferred to deny the order thus I parted my lips, " No.I really had.." " I don''t want you drooling over my food.So let it be and join me.", his overbearing tone cutt off my words as I became speechless. Such a narcissistic! Was he paying attention to myself all the time? Couldn''t he offer it nicely? I cursed inwardly and walked slowly towards the table fuming in rage. Pulling out a chair at the opposite of him, I plopped down with a thud in my rage. I was never been a cool girl who could endure any slight humiliation silently. Thus my bottom lips was turning pale at the hard torture of my teeth because of the immense anger that I was feeling inside. The middle aged woman walked towards me putting a soft smile as she served me another teful breakfast. His maic voice echoed sarcastically without anyughter, " Be careful! Do not eat your lips, eat the breakfast fast. I can''t waste my precious time for you." Before my anger could erupt out, another threatening tone stopped him, " Xavier, shut your mouth. She is our guest, let her finish the breakfast peacefully." I looked up at the middle aged woman bewildering as she scolded the president with so much authority. Unexpectedly, Mr President stopped his filthy mouth at her interference and paid attention to his breakfast instead. Thus I assumed that this woman wasn''t only a maid to him but held a great position in the house. I smiled at her greatfully and started eating the breakfast without looking at him. The breakfast went quite without hearing his filthy words as I thanked thedy once again with gratitude. When I was drinking the juice, halfway the president got up from his chair and started heading outside without any prior warning. Thus I could only leave my juice halfway before trailing him off from behind quickly. I couldn''t even say bye to thedy who only shook her head helplessly at his outrageous attitude. Well, I''m dumbstruck too. Why is he so unreasonable each time? As we stepped outside, I saw the guards benting down their heads respectively whereas he made his way towards the car that was parked at the entrance. His majestic aura was not less than a king who made his appearance in the public. My poor soul was panting heavenly as I had to run behind him desperately just after having so much food. As we both arrived at the main gate, I saw the ck RV with the g of this state was already waiting for him. One of the guard quickly scooped down before pulling out the cardoor respectively for him. I stood there awkwardly unsure about where to sit. But reminding his warning of keeping safe distance,I decided to pull out the front door before hopping into it cautiously.He made no sound at my appearance thus I predicted that I didn''t make any mistake this time. As I started to folding the seat belts, my eyes caught the cold oceanic re of him through the mirror. I blinked awkwardly not getting any damn idea of his anger and decided to avoid himpletely. Thus I diverted my eyes from him and watched outside as the RV started moving forward slowly followed by eight Maybachs, forming a barrier to protect our car so that no surrounding vehicles could approach near us. Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org. I kept eyes glued outside nkly as I felt the air inside our car was stiff. The driver himself held the same cold face as his boss thus I was only one there left with boredom. Jeez, how frustrating is that! There was no music nor did any talk which could kill enough anyone by suffocating! The ride was destined to be silent as my mind sometimes saw the person in the back through the rear view. He held the same aloof expression not changing a bit leaning against the backseat as his hands tapped theptop profoundly. His eyes were too focused as the screen vaguely reflected on his blue eyes. Much to my surprise, he suddenly looked up at my disobedient eyes through the mirror as his eyes met mine that had widened in astonishment. I quickly shifted my eyes holding the breath in my lungs as if I hadmitted a grief sin. All the while, I didn''t even dare to lift my gaze anymore and watched the passing scenario slowly. Around twenty minutester, our car had reached the presidential house but was stuck into the sudden crowd few metres away from the entrance. I tried to peek out of curiosity but the driver quickly closed off the mirrors because of security. Finally I heard his tone asking coldly, " What is happening, here?" Chapter 8 ~Curiosity Kills The Cat ~ Chapter 8 ~Curiosity Kills The Cat ~ *** THEME SONG OF THE CHAPTER *** ~ Highest In The Room By Travis Scott, Rosalia ~ IRIS''S POV~~ The driver responded unfolding his seat belts and intending to get down, " I have no idea, Mr President. Please be seated. I''m calling out the security guards to watch over the whole area." After providing us a reasonable reply,he got down from the car leaving two of us alone as I tried my best to be invisible.For some unknown reason, his presence was making my heart fluttered that was the hidden truth buried in my heart. As the grieve silence engulfed the air of car, I could vaguely sense his curious eyes on me while I shifted in my spot awkwardly. Soon after, a presidential guard came across the window as he gave two light knocks over the ss mirror. He pulled down the mirror using the switch swiftly as he gave a calm nce to continue and the guard exined briefly keeping his tone polite, " Sir, you should make an appearance now.Today is your birthday. So the young citizens havee here to wish you." His face scrunched up in annoyance as he rubbed the space between his temples gently. I was confused and stunned at the same time as I saw his reluctance to made an appearance now.But still he climbed down beforemanding me briefly, " Miss Young, follow me around." I quickly got off from the car before reaching behind him as he began to walk near the crowd tiptoeing on his ck boots profoundly.As soon as we reached near the crowd, my eyes went wide in shocked. A bunch of teenage girls were holding banners written in bold italic letter lovingly, " HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR.PRESIDENT" ~ Banner 1 " LOVE YOU, MR.PRESIDENT" ~Banner 2 " MARRY ME, MR. PRESIDENT" ~ Banner 3 As soon as they spotted his domineering figure, the crowd brust into uproar as I heard them screaming like maniac. Some girls almost started sobbing in astonishment whereas the other kept waving their hands vigorously wishing to receive his slight attention. Holy Shit! Even any celebrity has less fan base than him! The girls started cheering and giggling shyly as I shook my head helplessly.Despite having so much admirers around him, Mr President still held cold and nonchnt expression as he stood still emitting his kingly aura that could undoubtedly represent him as a nation god. His oceanic eyes like falcon swiped across the crowd as the corner of his lips curled up a little mysteriously. He only waved his hands twice staying in a safe distance from the crazy girls and once again the girls screamed like hell as if he threw a flying kiss not a wave. He didn''t waste much time there probably the reason of his safety as the security guards started making our path inside the crowd forming a human barrier. Suddenly he paused before looking behind me and gestured me to stay close to him. I nodded before stepping near him as our body created a tiny gap between us and the guards guided us in. While passing through the crowd in both sides, I nced at their shed face curiously and surprisingly received their harsh res on me as if they had seen a jinx inside me.Most of the girls were whispering among each others and was scanning my outfit from head to toe that made me really ufortable. I jolted in difort before reaching down instinctively to straighten up my skirt. But I could surely tell that they didn''t feel happy watching me apanying the president honestly. Next moment, my anticipation turned true as I heard their random gossips vaguely, " Hey, who is this girl with president?" " Didn''t he once say that he didn''t like to be around woman?" " All are employees are male even he only had one female secretary few years ago. But she was dismissed a weekter." " Look at her appearance. She seems like a seductress. She must havee to seduce our president." " Hussh! Don''t talk so loud. If any guards hear us, we will be doomed. Didn''t President warn us once that he didn''t like interference in his private life?" My face turned green in humiliation as their curses slowly echoed in my ears making me feel disregarded. I hung my head down and walked behind him briskly as we finally entered the presidential house shoving away the crowd that was still screaming in my heads out. I breathed a sigh of relief as I followed him into the elevator. As the elevator started lifting up, I stood at a corner keeping a safe distance from this unreasonable human being. Suddenly his bule eyes shifted behind my awkward figure as his lips quirked up asking me mockingly, " Are you afraid of the crowd, Miss Young?" I jolted up a little before shaking my head denying as I saw him smirking. My mind somehow stopped working at the sight of his smirking lips thus I kept staring back at his face. But the man was cunning more than a fox as he averted his attention from me nonchntly. I decided T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. to keep my lips sealed and reached at the 15th floor soon after. As soon as his silhouette came out, two of his bodyguards immediately apanied us towards the way of his office room. One of the guard with de informed on our way folding his palms ahead respectively, " Sir, Mr.Jackson is waiting for you in the guest room. Would you like to meet him now orter?" He halted in his track before asking back casually, " How long he has been waiting for?" The other guard replied briefly, " Two hours. He came here before sunrise." I saw him smirking devilishly before turning his waymanding, " Let''s meet him, then. " After saying that, he quickly walked towards the opposite direction of us whereas leaving with no words or orders. What will I do now? What should I do? Should I follow him or go back to my office? As I contemted in my thoughts, I heard a familiar voice from back, " Miss Young?" I turned around and saw Mr.Scott standing still in a navy blue suit appearing refreshed as usual. I smiled widely as if I had found my life saviour while replying, " Good Morning, Mr.Scott. Would you mind to instruct me that where should I go?" Mr.Scott replied waving his hand towards the office of Mr President, " Your desk is inside President''s office, Miss Young. You have to take care of him for 24 hours probably. So It''s better to stay nearby him." My face sank as I tried to not roll my eyes. Seriously Jeez! I have to tolerate the narcissistic man for so long! Giving it a second thought, I suddenlyughed inwardly. Well, this could smooth my mission after spending more and more time by his side. I nodded my head affirmatively before making my way towards his office. After pulling out the door, I discovered my desk far away from his one with aptop, sticky notebooks, charger and some other essential necessaries that would be necessary in my daily routine work. After plopping down in my office chair, I yawned loudly as a satisfied smile tugged in my lips. This was the first time that I have joined a job with my academic abilities! Quickly I logged in theputer and started checking through everything as I preferred set up the functions ording to my preference. After an unknown amount of time, I looked up at the doorway still not seeing any glimpse of Mr President and found a little weird. Was he having any meeting? Thus I got up from the chair boringly and started observing the whole office deeply.It had huge spacious more like an apartment''s room as I started roaming around scanning every little things around the corner. Soon after, my eyes caught the sight of a little door where I saw the bold letter sign "DO NOT ENTER". My mind instantly became detective as my feet involuntary reached near the forbidden door. The room was situated beside the lounge hiding at a corner with little door. But the surprising part was that perhaps no one would be able to find it until he or she observes the surrounding deeply. Without having any conscious of my surrounding, I touched the doorlock intending to open it but just then.... My hand froze as a hard grip grabbed my hand tightly. I suddenly came back to sense as a horrific expression shed across my face. Looking up nervously,his blue eyes were burning likeva on me as I gulped down my own saliva fearfully. Before his curse coulde out, I apologised quickly appearing pitiful, " I..I''m sorry, Mr President. I was just being curious." I saw his eyes melting a little before cing his left arm leaning against the hard wallzily as his unreadable face leaned towards me making me squirm in my spot like a caged kitten. My breathe hitched at the short distance between us as I heard his majestic voice like a king of hell, " Curiosity kills the cat, Miss Young. Be careful. Do not enter where you shouldn''t and do not step in where you shouldn''t. A kitten can''t escape from a demon''s trap. Watch your way before you step in. Who knows, you might never get out of the hell." I listened to his deep meaningful words quietly as I felt nk headed for a moment. But I kept my face stern unfazed about his indirect warnings before giving him a reply that suddenly popped out from my head, " But the useless rat helped the lion to escape from the trap, wasn''t it President?" He fell in silence as his falcon gaze pierced through my soul silently... Chapter 9 ~Let Me Try Once~ Chapter 9 ~Let Me Try Once~ ~ THEME SONG OF THE CHAPTER ~ { Butterfly Effect By Travis Scott } IRIS''S POV~~ I would be crashed drastically by heaven gods if I admitted that I wasn''t feeling hypnotised under his intense gaze. His blue eyes were stuck on my baffled face as if it was looking through every inche of my emotions. He kept our eye contact for a few seconds not bothering to answer my previous question before speaking through his pursued lips, " Can you move now, Miss Young?" I made an awkward hum sound before shifting further away and rubbed the hem of my skirt ufortably. He checked the door lock once assuring that it wasn''t opened by me. Then he turned around his domineering silhouette to face me warning again seriously, " Do not step into the ces where you shouldn''t go, Miss Young. Maintain your distance from my personal staffs until I tell you to do something. You get that?" I noddedprehensively as he walked pass by me before grabbing a blue zipped file from his personal drawers where I spotted a picture framed inside. Due to his rush movement, I couldn''t spot the whole picture that left a deep impression on my heart. Who was that little girl? I frowned slightly wandering that he could have asked anyone to bring the file over there. Why did he bother toe on his own? Despite having much detective thoughts,I didn''t dare to ask anything as he intended to walk away. Halting in his track,his cold voice echoed in my ear domineeringly as usual, " Meet me in the guest room, Miss Young. You need to grasp out of my lifestyle." I answered affirmatively as I saw him pushing open the door before walking fast. Few minutester, I washed off myself once again before heading for the guest room as curiosity spreaded through my mind. The two muscr bodyguards knew my status thus they opened the door for me respectively as I stomped onto a soft red carpet. But the following moment, my eyes dimmed at the pitiful sight that was ying ahead of mine. The mighty president was seated on the couch crossing his legs together like a king of hell as one of his arm rested on the handset leisurely.His usual ocean eyes emitted an aura of killing intent as I slowly approached by his right side cautiously. What the hell is happening here? Was he going to y a game here? Over the ground, a man at his forties in a blue retro European suite was crying desperately in a dishevelled state. His white eyes were watered up as he kept staring at the president begging silently. The blue file that I had seen earlier in his office was now thrown in the floor falling down like a trash piece in front of that old pitiful man. I stood at a corner away from the cruel monster that I had assumed already in my head and listened his ruthless tone, " Mr Jackson, I warned you several times before working with me that I hate being betrayed doing business. Still you have crossed your boundaries and tried to bring bad reputation on mypany. Tell me, did I do anything unfair to you during our deal?" The hazard man shook his head instantly before replying abruptly, " I.. I turned blind in love, Mr President. I.. I never thought that the other party would use a woman to defame me. I.. I trusted her too much but.. she stabbed me at the end.. " He whined before bursting into slow sobbing that sessfully hit the soft corner of my heart. I was clueless of his tant words and tried to predict the whole story inside my head but President''s merciless voice interrupted my thoughts, " That''s your foolishness, Mr.Jackson. Being a president of the renownedpany, how could you trust a mere woman who just came into your life for a few days?" I gulped down my saliva nervously and turned back my attention to the man howling over the marble ground. He sobbed terribly and replied quite boldly, " You.. you won''t understand, Mr President. You.. you were never been in love.. " Mr President sneered before replying leaning against the couch leisurely, " If that stupid love can destroy my entire life and bright career, I would better never fall in love with a woman." The man perhaps wished a death sentence as he dared to rebuke stubbornly, " I.. I wish that you will find a woman in your life who can make you to leave your status or wealth. Only then you will understand that love is blind, President." I held my breath in my lungs and nced back at his cold face that had turned grim in rage. At the following moment, he roared like a jungle lion who had tolerated enough so far, " Enough of your rubbish, Mr.Jackson. You aren''t some kind of love guru that I need to take my knowledge from you. You are only a trash who had been drowned by his own girlfriend under your nose." Hemanded indicating to a masculine man that was standing behind me, " TN, burn hispany and all the ships that he has been sailing so far.Then make a story for the public that he had been attacked by a foreign gang who has taken revenge on him. I don''t want to hear his name in the whole state." After giving his mercilessmand, he hauled up from the couch ignoring the immense pleading of the man who had been constantly stating that he wasn''t at fault, everything was his girlfriend''s doing. The old man dashingly blocked his path clutching his feet but had been thrown away mercilessly while he T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. asserted his final words coldly, " Its best that I have spared your family for the sake of your little daughter. Or else I would have burnt your own empire in broad daylight." He stated before resuming his way towards the outdoor.I pitied the man inwardly after looking through his innocent eyes and felt hatred for the president. At least he could have shown him a little mercy as he wasn''t in fault logically speaking. I quickly trailed him off closely.He entered his office room before plopping down on his soft chair with a thud. His expression was still grim as I took my own spot before immersing myself once again to set up theptop ording to my preference. I asionally stole nces of his darkened face and felt a chill run down on my spine. Even though the man was undoubtedly breathtaking, his aura was too frightening more likely a Mafia boss. Just like this, two awkward hours had passed living in the dense silence as if no one was around thereby.When I nced at his way for the twelve times in this two hours, he was still tapping on the keyboard skillfully without noticing my gaze. Much to my surprise, he finally ordered keeping his eyes locked on the screen, " Miss Young, bring those files to me that needed my signature. I''m nearly finished." I quickly recalled that Mr.Scott had intended to send some files in my desk before heading for the guest room. Hauling up from my spot, I trailed outside briskly intending to find those files that might be lying at a corner of Scott''s room. Passing through the corridor, I spotted the old man who was still crying on the doorway hoping to achieve a single mercy from him probably. But the guards werepletely nonbothered of his existence as they continued doing their duty silently. I bite down my bottom lips contemting on the thought that should I pursue him to go back or not. Slowing down, I finally decided to pursue him going back as my paces involuntarily made her way towards him. Reaching near him, I coughed dryly and spoke softly, " Mr, you should go back now. He has already stated his decision. I think wasting your time here wouldn''t change anything. Perhaps you could find other solutions by sharing with your own family." He suddenly paused his sobbing before looking up at my way as his eyes lit up looking at my face. Before I could speak further, he suddenly clutched my palms and started begging desperately, " Miss.. Miss can you stop him from sparing my business? You.. You must be his new secretary and close to him. Please, I beg you." I was stupefied for a moment as I thought of telling the truth that I was rookie here. But the man didn''t let go of my hands instead clutched hard and begged, " I have three daughters to take care of, Miss. I will be a begger if he burns my business. My family has no one to look after except me. I beg you, please tell him once to forgive me." I waspletely stuck between my own judgement and his pleading words. After all, I didn''t even had the close bonding like Scott with him. Why would he consider my request anyways? But looking at his poor state, my heart couldn''t help but softened visualising the pitiful faces of his daughters. Thus biting down my bottom lips, I assured him nervously, " Let me try once." A sudden smile of hope formed in his lips as he wiped the tears off by his palms genuinely. Turning around, I made my way back to the office while scratching in my thoughts that how should I pursue him! Chapter 10 ~Three Days To Impress Me~ Chapter 10 ~Three Days To Impress Me~ ~ THEME SONG OF THIS CHAPTER ~ IRIS''S POV~~~ My paces were abrupt as I continued making my towards Mr.Scott''s chamber absentmindedly. My foolish mind continued reflecting on the poor image of that man who shedded tears in front me. I heard once from my mother that men would only cry when he is deeply hurt! How much his children would be heartbroken if he loses everything? This thoughts were terribly bothering me as I sped the files handed by Mr.Scott. Making my way out of his office, I headed for the president''s office still contemting on the thought that how should I pursue him exactly. Damn Iris! You could have offered me some money instead! Why did you bother to ept this risky task that could definitely lead you to hell? You have the damn courage of seeking favour from the nation''s leader on the very first day of your job? Cursing myself viciously, I pushed open the door before hopping inside. My hazel gazended on the serious man over there whose appearance was extremely domineering. His bottomless eyes were reflecting the flushed screen continuously as he kept his gaze sharp than knife. The tip of his index finger was tapping on his chin as if he was calcting something in his thoughts. For a moment, I couldn''t able to pull away my eyes as if he had a god gifted aura of seducing any woman. My presence didn''t bother him as he never lifted up his eyes to face me. I quite admired those men who were serious over his works. Undoubtedly he was one of them as being the nation''s leader at this age and handling his ownpanies weren''t an easy task. I was so lost in my own perception that I didn''t know when did he look up to face me. Arching his eyebrows a little, he called out softly, " Miss Young?" I was startled before lowering down my gaze embarrassingly. I could feel my cheeks burning hot unreasonably as I wisely regained my calmposure. Takingrge steps, I stopped in front his desk before putting down those files with a thud. Clearing my throat to avoid any awkwardness, I stated in my professional tongue, " Mr.Scott has urged you to sign this files fast, Mr President. Without your signature, the project with L country will be postponed to next month. Today is thest date." " Is something wrong with you?", he inquired without looking up at me. I was a little taken of this sudden change of topic and blurted out, " What? " He finally lifted up his eyes to meet me and gave me a deep detective gaze. I became ufortable in no moment and tried to inspect his thoughts. Curling up his lips slightly, he spoke in a calm tone, " Your cheeks seem different. Is something wrong? " Hell God No!!! Why was he so observative? I looked away awkwardly and forced a sly smile that absolutely seemed artificial. Patting on my cheeks awkwardly, I sutured knowing that I was being horny around him again, " No.. No.. I''m absolutely fine.. It must be the weather. It''s too hot here today haha.." Iughed faking and fanned myself with my hand dramatically to make it more realistic. Shifting my eyes on him, I saw him knitting his brows harder before stealing a glimpse from the ceiling aside. Turning back to face me, he replied with an amused expression, " It''s 24 degree Celsius inside my office." "...." Goodness! Ipletely forgot that there was an AC inside his room. How could I feel hot? A gush of embarrassment shed all over my expression as I quickly found a hole to hide my lewd mind. As he kept his eyes hooded on me, I made an excuse just to slip away from his unscrupulous questions, " Umm.. I need to use the washroom..You can carry on signing. I''ming back in a minute." I asserted before running inside the washroom without hearing out his response. Lucky I grabbed the purse on my way inside the bedroom and locked from indoor with a loud thud. Jeez! Jeez! It was too embarrassing! I dropped down my pursue over the barstool before starting the tap hastily. Sshing some cold waters over my face, I looked up at my own reflection before burning in shame. How could you feel horny so easily, Iris? Damn it! I scolded my thoughts and finally remembered the words that I said to the man before. Biting my soaked lips down, I had an absorb idea to pursue himter. A helpless sigh escaped through my lips as I pulled open the pursue frantically. Putting out a little pocket perfume,my lips curled up into a smirk as Daisy''s teasing words buzzed across my mind. "This perfume is considered to be the best one across the world, IRIS. I have bought it from an online shop. It''s called Valerie''s Seduction. The shop owner assured me that it can attract any man with a twist.. How is it!! Tell me once you apply it. Don''t forget to share your experience with me.. Must remember that I have spent dors over it for your birthday present. "[ Daisy''s spoken words earlier] I remembered her exaggerating words in my mind and pressed the releaser finally. Covering the alluring smile all over my body, I mumbled looking at my own reflection, " I hope, it does work or else you are dead, Daisy. " I finished off spraying it over me and looked at myself once again. After sshing water, I appeared much calm than before as I made my way outside once again. Letting out a restless sigh, I cheered up myself trailing over his desk. You can say it, Iris. He is just Xavier Gray. Forget about it! He should be much gentleman than him! I paused in front of his desk before offering him a sweet smile which he missed. He was looking through the papers attentively and ordered without looking up, " Help me letting out the seal, Miss Young. It should be in my drawer." I was secretly relived that he didn''t pursue the matter further and shifted over his side quickly. Looking down, I spotted three drawers and started pulling out one by one considerably. At the second drawer, I found the official seal that had his name crafted beautifully. My eyes shone in relief as I picked up the seal before intending to put it down over the files. Here my misfortune had started ! As soon as I took an hasty move aside, my pace were misced as I let out a surprised cry. The following moment, my feet bumped against his rocking chair and my whole weight fell down over him in a moment. I cried out in fear of my back getting hit against the marble floor hardly. Before I could drop down, I felt a pair of strong arms quickly took my sanity saving me from dropping down drastically. I gasped holding my breath as I sensed the strong force around my waist. Fear was written all over my expression as I struggled to keep my breathing steady. Still closing my voice, his maic tone echoed in my ears domineeringly, " Foolish!" I jolted before shot opening my eyes. He was looking down at me frowning deep hard as if he couldn''t wait to scold me more. I observed my hand on his shoulder that significantly groped his suit to bnce N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. my weight. I gulped ufortably finding out that I was lying t on his arms like a y doll. ttering my eyes twice, I shortly apologised before the storm took the ce, " I''m sorry. I''m sorry. I.. I didn''t mean it.." His gaze surprisingly darkened more after hearing out my answer as I acted pitiful inside his cage. But the worst was yet toe when I saw him sniffing his nose suddenly. His sharp gaze scanned me from head to toe as he stated in a hoarse voice, " Miss Young, when did you have this perfume?" I swallowed hard seizing this opportunity to aim my goal as I patted on his shoulder coquettishly, " Umm.. Yes.. just today.. Isn''t it good, Mr President?" I chanted beautifully watching his expression turning stiff instantly. As he gazed down at my flirting face, I curled up like a shrimp but continued confidently, " Isn''t the smell too good, Mr President? It has the pure smell of rose, mmm? " His gaze tightened at the provoking re that I was giving him continuously. Holding back his breath, he managed to spit out barely, " I''m allergic to rough smell!" "...." Damn it! I quickly struggled to leap down from hisp before his allergies could act up. But his force was holding me down as I looked up at him confused about his intention. Darkening his gaze more, he inquired mysteriously as if he could see through my intentions, " Should I assume that Miss Young has used this smell to seduce me, purposely? Hmm?" My eyes went wide in surprise as my confidence dropped dramatically. As much as how I wanted to slip away from his grasp, those shrill cry of that old man was reverberating in my ears continously. I moved ufortably before gazing deep through his eyes. Arching my face up, I mumbled confidently, " So what if I''m?" " Reason??", he gave me a short and brief reply looking down. I gulped down nervously and murmured hesitantly, " You should forgive the man whom you punished today. He will be a begger along with his family." A deadly smirked yed on his lips as he parted open his lips chanting like mantra, "So youe here to be a Saint on his behalf?" I growled snorting coldly, " Whatever you say!!" He frowned amusingly and corrected, " That''s not an attitude to ask for a favour, Miss Young. Tell me, one reason why must I listen to you?" I swallowed hard obviously expecting this question and couldn''t help but feeling like a stupid pig. Why the hell he would listen to me? Just to tter him more, I addedughing awkwardly, " You are the icon of this state and must be a gentleman. " He replied straightforward, " I''m not." "....." I sutured incoherently, " I.. I.. What can I do then?" He took a while to think about everything and blurted out, " Giving you three days to impress me, then I will consider it. " I watched in disdain before gritting my teeth harder. Suppressing my rage, I spitted out ufortably, " Fine, leave me then. " Aaahhh!!! As soon as my words came out, I was dropped over the marble floor hardly. Laying down, I looked up in rage but he replied like a three years old child who knew nothing, " You asked me to leave you?" My mouth fell open in awe and the only curse was left in my mind, Fuck You!!! Chapter 11 ~Track The Location~ Chapter 11 ~Track The Location~ IRIS''S POV~~ My cheeks turned hot in anger and embarrassment as I shot dagger re on his cringe smirk. He seemed to enjoy my poor state a lot.But I wasn''t that kind of woman who would beg him to get my motive done! I''m Iris who knew how to im her own things!! Giving him an indifferent re, I hauled up from the cement floor before making my way towards the desk murmuring softly. He smirked over my nonchnt attitude and leaned back against his office chair leisurely. Plopping down on my office chair, my mind spontaneously scratched with numerous idea in order to impress this unscrupulous president.Unfortunately nothing came out until my eyes caught the sight of glimpse of his face. Soon after another awkward hour had passed away without exchanging a single word with him. I was too focused with my work thus nothing cropped in my mind for the time being. This weeping awkwardness was interrupted by a sudden phone call on the telephone suddenly. Without averting my gaze from the screen, I saw him picking up the call from the corner of my eyes. After listening the words from opposite side, his expression dropped turning into a cloudy gloom as he hauled up from his spot almost instantly. Ticking on his boots, he made his way outside without giving me any prior order. Once he left the office, I looked up from myptop screen confusedter shrugged it off nonchntly. Why do I feel bothered when he hasn''t said me anything??? XAVIER''S POV~~ I received an urgent call from Scott that the CEOS under my corporation had arrived in my office because of an emergency. I couldn''t wait anymore and quickly trailed them towards my conference room. The fact that what had urred all of sudden bothered me a lot as I just had cleared a mess. As I pushed open the transparent door before stepping on the red carpet, they all had a terrified look as if they had witnessed a demon god. I knew that I was known as ruthless, cold, domineering president for them but it didn''t require to get tensed up all the time. Having a bad feelings about their sudden appearance, I plopped down at my king sized chair hesitantly before gesturing them to take their own respective spots. I rested my fists together on the office desk before asking them with confusion surfaced face, " What happened? You all have arrived in my office just in a short time." The young ceo of Redhill Corporation spoke first pushing away aptop towards my way, " President, our personal server has been hacked all of sudden. Our database and nning regarding the uing project has been leaked to the hacker." My face scrunched up as Scott pulled closer theptop towards me. My eyes shifted on the hanging screen as I heard his trembled tone, " It has happened an hour ago. At first, we thought that our IT departments could handle the situation. But this hacking team is way beyond to control and they couldn''t recover the server till now. So we had toe here to seek for your help." My mind went nk for a moment as I looked up at him asking coldly, " Did you contact with my IT department? " The other ceo replied nodding his head, " Yes, we did. Even they are unable to recover it. " My eyes red up in rage as I gazed deeply into the screen. This was the first time that someone had the guts to attack mypanies breaking the best security system of state. But my mind was hinting at another noticeable point. The hacker didn''t attack my ownpany" Eden International Limited" rather it had targeted the smallerpanies who had coboration with me. Is he giving me a threat? I looked up at Scott who seemed stunned too and gave a brief order, " Call Miss Young over here !" Scott blinked at me for a few times before nodding and headed outside to call her. It''s time to prove her abilities of working under Xavier Gray! IRIS''S POV~~ I was sipping my hot coffee holding a book from the desk and leaned against the office chair I can''t believe that Mr President has such a hobby of readingics. His face doesn''t absolutely suit of a man who can enjoy readingics. As I immersed myself in reading, a hasty footsteps echoed in my ears along with Mr.Scott''s urgent tone after pushing open the door half way, " Miss Young, follow me. Mr President is calling you in the conference room." My beaming face sank instantly as I put down my cup on the desk before getting up confusedly. Leaving me inpletely daze, Mr.Scott urged me again to follow him fast. I fixed my skirt ufortably before making my way towards the conference room.Mr Scott walked too fast that made me breathless to catch up with his steps. Following him, I quickly entered the conference room earning surprised res from the row of people that were seated in the chairs. Feeling a little awkward, I spotted the demon like man who was looking at me with his phoenix eyes. The other people seemed so surprised as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight. I quickly gave them a bow out of respect and looked at Mr President ufortably. Then I heard his maic tonemanding Mr Scott beside, " Take a chair beside me." Mr Scott quickly followed his order and set up a chair just beside him. Once again I was the attention of Mr President who gestured me nonchntly, " Come and have a seat Miss Young. You have an important task to do here." I looked down at the chair beside him hesitantly before approaching nearer slowly. Plopping down, I saw the people aheadpletely dumbfounded. One of them suddenly spoke hinting his dissatisfaction, " Mr President, this isn''t any child''s y. She is just a mere..." His words were stuck when he received a cold re from President harshly. The young man seemed afraid as he kept staring coldly uttering no words anymore. I heard his confident and powerful voice buzzing across the room, " Let me remind you Mr.Mendes. I am the president here of yours. I wouldn''t have seated in the spot if I had treated this matter as child''s y." Mr.Mendes seemedpletely defeated by his words and lowered down his gaze ufortably. The air in the room turned stiff as they all held a dissatisfied expression towards my presence. I couldn''t quite understand the entire matter until he pushed aptop in front of me. I nkly saw a hang website and heard his order not bothering to ask my opinion, " Prove me that you are eligible to work under me. This server is hacked for the past one hour. You have proudly mentioned that you have knowledge about programming. Now show your skills to me." I looked up at his face that was staring at me deeply as if it was not giving me any chance to retaliate. Well, I have been a hacker for two years only. I had worked with few international websites to ensure their security system. But I never revealed this job to anyone. How.. how can he handover this important task to me? Did he find it out? Even though he sounded rude andmanding, I saw the glimmer of confident in his ocean eyes for me. Like an intoxicated person, my mind stubbornly felt determined to not break his trust on me now. Pulling back my eyes on theputer screen, I shifted in my spotfortably before sinking deep in my brain cirction. In no time, my body started emitting a dark aura of professional hacker as soon as my fingertips touched the keyboards. I treated everyone invisible around me and only kept my eyes on theputer screen glued. Perhaps it was in the instinct of every hacker being secretive. I always preferred to do this part time work of mine alone at midnight. Thus Ipletely devoted myself to finish this task and continued tapping.. Around Fourty Five Minutes Later, I parted my lips to speak first still kept locking my eyes on the screen, T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. " The server is safe now and all the databases have been recovered safely. I have destroyed the leaked files too. Is there anything that I need to do?" As soon as my words went out, the room was in uproar as I vaguely heard themotion inside room without diverting my eyes. I sensed those blue eyes staring at me with a glimpse of admiration that I didn''t expect at all. He ordered the noisy people coldly, " You all may leave now. The further tasks wil be done by IT departments. She has done the main task already." The Ceo''s quickly left the room before ncing at me admiringly. I was still working on thest step of my coding when I heard his anothermand, " Can you track the hacker''s location? " I knew that I could. But still thought of replying, " I will try." He ordered bossily tapping on the desk, " Do it..!" I nodded my head slightly and started finding the exact location of this hacker. Soon after, my hands froze as I stared nkly on the screen. This location....! I had no doubt of the person behind it. Gulping down my difort quickly, I stopped working and nced back at him saying, " I couldn''t figure out his exact location, Mr President. But the server is safe now. Your IT departments can start the next processes." He looked at me frowning slightly as if he was holding suspension over my words. Chapter 12 ~Nearly Impressed~ Chapter 12 ~Nearly Impressed~ ~~ THEME SONG OF THIS CHAPTER ~~ IRIS''S POV ~~ His hooded eyes were still on me as I struggled to keep my momentum nonchnt under his intoxicated gaze. As my task was done, I didn''t want to spend a second with this scary man. His presence surprisingly troubled me a lot as if I would go drown under the hypnotising gaze. Tidying mywn skirt ufortably, I waited for his permission to run out from here but unfortunately he didn''t make a single noise. Before I could gather up the courage to ask for his permission, his cellphone rang loudly breaking the stiff atmosphere between us. His hooded eyes were finally pulled away from me before falling down over the flushed screen gently. Pressing on the receive button, he hauled up from his spot before drifting further away from me reaching near the transparent window slowly. I didn''t had enough time to watch over him as my troubled eyes didn''t shift away from the location over the screen. Biting down my lower lips, I cursed the man behind the screen viciously and felt erged. Lucky that he wasn''t present in front of me or else I could have chopped him to death. How dare he meddle in my business? Once I pulled down the screen, I turned back to take glimpse of his figure. He was standing still in front of the transparent ss wall as if he was reminiscing in deep thoughts.T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. I didn''t wish to stay a minute thus moving out from my spot, I walked over to him cautiously. Maintaining a safe distance, I asked nervously, " Mr President, I think that my task is done. Can I go back to my office now? I still have other things to do." My tone was gentle as water but only god knew that how much pressure I was feeling inside. A moment of silence crept away between us as I stood awkwardly near him. He turned around to face and kept his ocean eyes glued over me. I blinked profusely not getting the damn idea behind his cold gaze. His luscious lips suddenly curved up into an evil smirk before raising up his eyes amusingly. I swear that my heart stopped working for a moment before I averted my eyes awkwardly. He took a slow step near me as I shifted in my spot ufortably. Rather than stopping, his domineering figure started circling me as I stood at the middle dumbstruck. Taking each tortuous step, his paces were making me tensed up as I spected his each movements cautiously. Cracking into a disbelief smile, he spoke still circling me, " You have nearly impressed me, Miss Young. You im yourself a tiny hacker but you have managed to break the best security system in the state. Should I call you a master of hacking or.." He paused in his words stopping ahead of me and continued in a deep voice, " Or you have other names, Miss Young? " I felt my bones turning frozen as I couldn''t believe my own ears at all. How did he find out so fast? Well, it was half truth. Indeed another third party made an attack except me. I just needed to solve both problems. But obviously I didn''t expect that he could find me out so easily. Rubbing my arms awkwardly, I tried to hide my awkwardness and sutured looking somewhere else, " How.. how.. did you find it out so fast?" I could feel his smile widened further into an evil smirk and informed me proudly, " My team check on the history data of each employee''sputer. In a word, yourputer is being monitored by us not only you but also each employers here." My expression sank drastically as I pped myself hard mentally. How did you forget that you work under the nation of god, Xavier Gray?? I coughed dryly before burst into awkwardughter to hide my nervousness. Looking up at his face, I admitted my wrongdoing reasonably, " Well, I just thought of impressing you in a different way. Tell me, was it exciting enough to impress you, Mr President?" He looked down at me timidly and suddenly curled up his lips sarcastically. Gazing through the depth of my eyes, he answered briefly, " Not enough, Miss Young. This can be considered as child''s y. " My face sank immediately before retaining her firm determination. Arching up my head haughtily, I stated confidently, " Then I will work harder to impress you." I gave my final words before turning to leave but his tongue interrupted me once again. As I stepped two steps towards the transparent door, his tone interrupted my paces earning a confused gaze from me, " Wait!" He ordered before taking a nce from the wall clock, " It''s lunch time. Join me." What?? Is this considered a treat? Can''t he even ask nicely? My self esteem had been hurt again as I decided to teach him a little mannerism. Crossing my arms over my chest, I stated looking through his eyes, " Shouldn''t you add a ''Please'' inside your words, Mr President? After all, we aren''t heading for a official dinner." His expression turned stiff before parting his lips open to give me a long prepared lecture. But I was fast enough to cut off his words and added hurriedly, " It''s called simple manner. " His expression turned ck in rage probably but didn''t continue the argument further. Straightening his cor habitually, his aura changed into apletely different person as he stated again in a soft tongue, " Can we go for a lunch Miss Young? Please?" I was stunned before watching at his face astonishingly. Why did he sound like we are going for a date? Without hearing my opinion, he walked ahead of me and pushed open the door as I interrupted, " Didn''t you tell me to stay away from you? Won''t it bother you if I stay by your side when you eat?" He paused before turning around and gazing deep at my eyes. I stood there confidently as I didn''t speak anything wrong. His eyes dimmed alternating between anger and annoyance before giving me a bossy reply once again, " Miss Young, don''t you think that you ask too much about my private matters even at the first day of your work?" My mouth immediately shut up like a stupid as I heard his next line, " Follow me! Don''t speak until I say so!" I let out a gush of angry groan inwardly as I followed his footsteps briskly not having any damn idea that where we were heading. Coming down through the elevator, he walked over towards his ck Maybeach as I trailed him off closely. After hopping into the front seat, I heard his short instructions, " The Restaurant !" The driver nodded without asking further about the location and started the engine as I sighed looking through the window outside. Shortly after, the Maybeach was parked in front of a five star restaurant as I looked up at the familiar signboard nkly. This restaurant.. still exists....! AUTHOR''S WORDS: Please leave yourments to let me know your thoughts! Chapter 13 ~The Restaurant~ Chapter 13 ~The Restaurant~ I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and unbuckled the seat belt before hopping down from the car. The driver went fast to pull out the door for his departing as he stepped down over the carpeted floor tapping on his ck boots. My eyes kept staring at the logo " THE NEONS FOODS" for a few moments while my eyes observed the green rooftop filled with various flower trees. Subconsciously my lips formed into a soft smile without my notice. He walked ahead in front of me as I diverted my eyes to his retreating back. The owner of this well famous restaurant had changed. I found that was a middle aged man who appeared already waiting for us anxiously in the gate. He gave a long bow spotting us together as we entered in. I found the whole restaurant empty as I asked curiously snapping my head here and there, " Doesn''t anyonee here?" He gave me a short reply while reaching near a well decorated table, " I have booked the entire restaurant. That''s why it turned out empty." Holy shit! That''s how rich people work! I get it! I rolled my eyes before plopping down with a thud on the chair opposite of him as his face scrunched up in my behaviour. But I don''t give it a damn! Fuck! He sucks! XAVIER''S POV~~ I found this woman useful and annoying at the same that made me feel sick on her. Look at her behaviour! She behaves more like a nine years old child who haven''t learnt her etiquette at all. But I guess, my cold re didn''t give her a damn warning as she rolled her eyeballs dramatically. I diverted my eyes from her helplessly and spotted the olddy at a corner who was standing and smiling at my way. I was very well known with this thirty years old restaurant that had been my favourite restaurant so far. I gestured her toe over here as she walked ahead holding the printed menu card in her hands. She presented it in front of my eyes before taking a curious nce of Miss Young. She was sitting opposite of me nonchntly as if I didn''t even exist in front of her eyes. I gently pushed the card towards her before leaning against the chairfortably. She seemed dumbstruck as she looked up at me questioningly. Imanded briefly before shifting my eyes over her troubled face, " You choose." She seemed perturbed before taking up the menu card slowly. Her eyes roamed over the list from up to down swiftly before asking for my opinion, " Is sea food okay with you?" I shrugged my shoulder nonchntly. I really didn''t had so much preference towards foods. As long as it tastes good, I can devour it. I watched her long eyshes blinked twice before she ced her order to the olddy standing near our table side. The fact that I had taken her to my favourite restaurant was only because she really impressed me with her skills today. I thought of cheering for her even though little did I realised that she didn''t quite like me. Hell! Why do I care? I''m her boss in reality and can order her anytime. I heard thedy suggesting her gently, " Any drinkdy?" She nced at me hesitance written all over her face but quickly diverted her attention to thedy after finding me nonbothered. Her painted lips formed into a sweet smile that could cause any man swallowing his own saliva in desire as she ordered, " Red Wine! It suits with sea foods well." Thedy agreed with her statement before departing from our side and entered the kitchen quietly. I found her expression ufortable looking here and there as soon as the woman left two of us alone here. Treating me again like a non existence creature, she dived her hand into her purse to pull out her smartphone. As expected, she started ying with her phone but the nervousness between her eyes were still vivid. Even though her eyes seemed only focused on that brightness screen but her perturbed appearance denied her fake firm determinationpletely. At first I thought I could handle this quite environment. But somehow having cold shoulder from her was bothering me too much. Thus I straightened my suite''s cor awkwardly before giving off a dry cough to catch her attention. But I sessfully failed. She didn''t even look at me once. Sighing angrily, I focused outside and my raged eyes caught the beautiful nature outside instantly melting into a soft one. This city road had giant vine maple trees in both sides covering the street with colorful leaves and gentle breeze. Even looking at that flowery street could make anyone''s heart peaceful. I heard two tiny voices inside my head as my eyes reyed the old memories that I had cherished so far. Shortly after, I snapped out from my wild thoughts and shifted my eyes on the girl in front of me. Finding a new topic to initiate the conversation, I spoke loudly earning a confused re from her, " Miss Young. Look outside or you might miss the beautiful scenario because of your stupid cellphone." She rolled her eyes before gazing at my mentioned way nonchntly. But unexpectedly, her eyes stopped blinking as she gazed at the street nkly for a couple of minutes. I read her expression cautiously and somehow I saw the corner of her eyes started getting teared up. I felt confused and troubled before asking out gently, " Miss Young.. are.. are you okay?" IRIS''S POV~~ I was ying with my phone for spending this awkward timing with this unreasonable man.He didn''t even bother to ask me nicely. Treating like a mere subordinate, he justmanded me to follow him here. I had my own n too. I perfectly ignored him and faked my firm attention on my phone. Then suddenly I heard that man''s maic tone following up with a gentle suggestion to look outside. At the sight of outside, my usual calm expression instantly changed into a painful memory. The squirrels still yed over the dry leaves that made my eyes tearing up recalling some unforgettable moment that I had saved in my memory forever. I snapped out of my dreaming zone quickly as soon as I heard his unbelievable gentle tone, " Miss Young, are you okay?" Realization hit my brain as I quickly lowered my eyes to hide my unruly tears that came without being notified. I forced a fake smile replying back, " Oh yes, Mr President. The view is really beautiful of Rainbow Street." His expression scrunched up a little before cing his left palm on the table and asked with a hint of suspension, " But I found from your record data that you haven''t been in SILVERSTONE CITY ever." My expression sank instantly as I clutched the hem of my skirt tightly. Giving an awkward smile, I responded avoiding our eye contact that could hypnotise me easily, " No. I never been here but I researched over this city before shifting here." He started unwrapping the bottle of water as he threw me a burning question, " Then what made youe to SILVERSTONE CITY all of sudden Miss Young? You could have been done well in foreign." I tried to keep my answer firm and reasonable as I replied putting on a soft smile, " Nothing much. I thought of experiencing something new in USK state. Moreover my best friend is here too and fortunately I managed to get of job under you." As the stic made a scratching sound, I looked up to meet his ocean eyes that was observing my expression. For some reason, I felt like he was suspicious about my identity. Thus I tried not to get panicked and maintained my usual face. Meanwhile the hot aroma of foods started travelling in my nostrils as my tummy grumbled shamelessly. Lucky the sound wasn''t so loud to reach his eardrums or I would have died in embarrassment. From the North pool, thedy wasing towards our table holding a giant pte of prawns whereas three young males followed her carrying the other bowls. Thedy smiled sweetly at the encounter of our eyes and ced the dishes on the table symmetrically. She spoke in a cheesy tone, " Here you go, Sir and Lady. All the dishes have been prepared by our head chef." This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. She clutched her palms together before adding cheerfully and ncing between me and president, " You two are going to love it." Well, that sounded somehow ambiguous as if she was trying to pair us inwardly. Surprisingly Mr President didn''t mind her words thus I figured out that he was familiar with thisdy. Otherwise ording to his tempter, he would have called his bodyguards to beat this woman for her unruly words. Wait.. Did she just call medy? Isn''t that suppose to address of President''s wife? I quickly corrected her words before the other party could scold her, " Don''t call me,dy. I am his new secretary. You can just call me by my name, Iris." I spoke quickly before shifting my attention to the juicy prawns that was ced in front of us. I reached out to start my lunch but again heard her aspiring voice, " No worries! I can see the spark between you two. We will definitely get the firstdy soon." I choked on my saliva before gazing up at her shockingly. I turned back to see Mr President who seemed stupefied too as he spoke coldly, " Aunty Madonna, can we have our lunch now? " Thedy grinned foolishly as she called out, " Oh Xavier.. ughh.. " She bite her tongue sarcastically before correcting her words and replied again, " Mr.. Mr..President.. I was just anticipating the future. " She straightened up her cor confidently and added, " Don''t forget that thisdy is quite experienced regarding emotional feelings. I have dated more than fifty boys. You know.." She paused receiving a cold re from Mr President and my mouth fell open in awe at the mentioned number of boys that she dated. Thedy quickly stopped talking before giving us a brief reply, " Go ahead, go ahead. Taste the foods now. I''m leaving. Enjoy your meal." She grinned once again before leaving with those boys and I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she disappeared. She was constantly making us awkward really. I heard his unfazed tone putting the salmon fish in his te, " Don''t mind her words. She jokes a lot." I hummed coldly before reaching out my arms to take up the juicy prawns. I peeled off it''s shell and used some ketchup on it while he continued devouring the Salmon. Taking a notice of my surrounding, I came up with a bold idea. Why don''t I taste it with my hands? Well, I do enjoy eating prawns using my hands instead of knife and spoons. It somehow satisfies my forever love for prawns and its juicy taste. As I spotted no one except Mr President., I thought of using my old method after reaching in this city. Thus I lifted up the red barbican prawn into my lips, took ast hungry nce of it before stuffing it into my mouth. I whimpered instantly at its heavenly taste as I munched it hungrily ignoring the juices and ketchup that was flowing down from the corner of my lips. My eyes went close subconsciously at its overwhelming taste as I devoured itpletely. After finishing my prawn, I opened my eyes and instantly froze. Mr President was looking at me somehow in rage and puzzlement. Only then I realised my mistake that a weirdo was still present in front of me. He asked putting down his knife, " Miss Young, what are you doing exactly?" I gulped thest slice of prawn from my mouth and responded grinning like a two years old child, " Well, Mr President don''t find me uncultured please." I looked around once more and continued, " You have booked the whole restaurant. So no one will find about me. I love to taste prawn using my hands actually. It tastes rather good. So I thought of applying it here." Surprisingly he didn''t scold me except asking with a great interest, " Is it?" I choked at his unexpected answer and replied tantly, " Well, at least to me. " He lowered his eyes peeking at my beloved prawns and asked with hesitance, " Should I try too?" I was stunned for a moment before joining with himughing inwardly, " May be you can. Let me help you peel one of them for you." I quickly grabbed another juicy prawns before cing in on his te. I watched with great interest that how the president of the state eats prawns using his bare hands. He looked down at his peeled prawn and contemted in his mind. At the final moment, he pulled up his sleeve a bit before grabbing the prawns between his index and thumb fingers. I saw him wlessly reaching it near his lips before giving it a one hard bite. I started getting tensed up but the next moment, his expression changed into a pleasant one as heplimented, " It''s really more tasty using hands." Then he gave it''s juicy flow a long gracious lick as I spitted out shockingly, " Fuck!" That was more unculturedparing to mine! Chapter 14 ~Saving A Puppy ~ Chapter 14 ~Saving A Puppy ~ XAVIER''S POV~~ I kept munching the juicy prawn chewing every inche of it as the taste felt exceptionally delicious today. I, Xavier Gray never used my hands in my entire life to eat anything especially in outdoor. The fact that her blissful face while devouring the prawnspletely carried me away.Her beaming face had those purity which I searched inside a woman for long time.Thus I mechanically followed her step to enjoy the new experience. Surprisingly it was really damn good. As I nced at her away subconsciously, I found her expression had turned baffled out while watching me eating just like her. I felt a little embarrassed and spoke coldly while rubbing my face awkwardly, " What?" She chuckled lightly before shifting her eyes greedily into the prawns and replied sarcastically, " Nothing. Did it feel good, Mr President.?" I hummed coldly and my eyes sessfully caught the attention of her moisty lips which had several stains of sausages. I spoke pointing at the position of my own lips, " Miss Young, you got ketchup there." She lifted up her perturbed eyes instantly and asked pointing at the wrong spot, " Here?" I shook my head disagreeing and replied inly, " A little left." She again pointed the wrong spot a little bit upper from the initiate ce and asked nervously, " is it here then?" My patience had reached its limit. Thus I grabbed a tissue paper from the box over our table and ordered her angrily, " Lean down. " She was stunned for a moment before arching her upper body down slowly so that it came closer in my range. Without noticing her nervousness, I swiftly used the tissue paper to wipe off her sausage stained lips. While wiping it off, I discovered her lips were really attractive. Even though it was painted with dark lipstick, it had two equal lined parts in upper and lower lips. My manly thought subconsciously visualised the feeling that how delicious it would feel to devour this attractive lips. I was devastated into my wild thoughts when I heard her reminder tone softly, " Mr President??" I quickly jerked off my hands from her lips as an embarrassed expression appeared on my face for my inner lewd thoughts. Thus I mumbled without looking up at her face, " It''s done,Miss Young. Let''s eat first. Tomorrow you will be visiting Eden International Limited." I saw her nodding her head slightly before paying attention to her food ufortably. Did I act too intimate? What''s happening to my asexuality? I seemed not bothered at all while being closer with her ! The rest of the meal went quite as we both were busy in gratifying our stomachs. But she didn''t forget to peel the prawns for me as I devoured each one of them greedily. For the first time, I enjoyed my life like a normal person for being unruly. It wasn''t a bad experience honestly and sometime I craved for the freedom that others had. We only tinged our red wine filled sses at the very end of our lunch. My eyes were still on her lips as she sipped the red wine perfectly prying open her luscious lips. As she shoot her perplexed gaze on me, I quickly averted my gaze somewhere else like a thief who had been caught red handed and struggled to stay nonchnt. After finishing off our lunch, I paid off the bills and headed outside towards my ck car as she trailed me off behind. IRIS''S POV ~~ We walked out of the restaurant together as I spotted his bodyguards surrounding the entire restaurant like an ironic chain. The sun was hanging down at the middle of luminous sky as it continued heating the earth with its warmth as usual. It was lunchtime thus the road was awkwardly empty as everyone was busy in having lunch and resting for a few moments in their respective offices or homes. As my eyes vacantly fell on the empty street, I spotted a little white puppy crossing the street briskly. The puppy seemed clueless about his own paces ahead thus it didn''t watch around like other clever dogs who are habituated to cross the road. I watched his timid steps while crossing the road nkly and then suddenly I heard a loud rming horn from the opposite direction of road. My expression sank drastically as I watched the huge load filled tracking out on his way in horror. I gasped loudly in fear and threw away my pursue harshly towards an unknown direction. I ran over to the puppy as fast as I could without thinking twice and grabbed her in my arms as the track driver shouted on me peeking his face outside.The track was stilling on our way as I vaguely saw the driver was desperately trying to stop the engine. I was so shocked that even forgot to move an inch. I held the puppy tightly embraced in my arms like a precious treasure and watched the rushing track with my widened eyes. As I finally lost thest bit of hopes living in this world anymore, I squeezed my eyes shut seeing only few metres distance between the track and me. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. But the next moment, my frozen body was pulled away roughly as I gasped in terror before falling down on the concreted street. Chapter 15 ~Treating Her Injuries~ Chapter 15 ~Treating Her Injuries~ ~THEME SONG OF THE CHAPTER ~ IRIS''S POV ~ My left elbow were smashed against the hardness of the concreted street earning a low muffle cry from me. I vaguely sensed a lot of bruises left on my skin as soon as I bounced. I groaned instinctively still keeping my eyes shut and felt a firm chest hovering on me. Perturbed,I opened my eyes partially and the following moment, I gasped uttering out shakily, " Mr.. Mr.. President.. you.." My thoughts went nk as I blinked on his handsome dusted face profusely! We both were lying t on the street as my head was ced under his right arm.His right hand was supporting my back wrapping around my numb body like a chain.He opened his blue eyes letting out a low groan and gazed down at my stupefied face murderously, " You... are you dumb Miss Young? You were nearly killed because of this little shit." He shifted his daggered eyes on the puppy as it whimpered silently protesting to get off from my arms. Stumbling out from my bizarre thoughts, I quickly slipped out from his grip hauling up from the hand and helped him to get up nervously. He patted his ck tuxedo in annoyance checking out back and forth.Rage was written all over his face as he again focused on me ready to brust out his anger.But his well prepared scorching words were interrupted midway by a tiny voiceing out from the opposite side of street, " Tommy.. Tommy... you bad boy.." I looked up consciously and found a nearly eight years older child was scurrying towards our way anxiously.The puppy in my arms nestled more protectively after hearing out her tone. Thus I assumed that she might be the owner of this puppy. The tiny girl had worn a pink floral fork as she quickly approached near us putting on a pouted face unhappily.She stopped just in front of me and expressed her gratitude sweetly, " Thank you aunty for saving my Tommy. He just slipped out of our home sneakily." I smiled back as my heart filled with warmness for her innocent face. I handed her over the puppy and responded in a soft voice, " It''s fine, sweetie. Don''t let hime out anymore. He is still too young and can be hurt easily. " The girl nodded like a well mannered kid and smiled widely showing off her two rows of milky teeth brightly.Suddenly her eyes periodically fell on the goofy demon beside me and uttered out widening her round eyes in shock, " Aaaah! Is.. Isn''t that our president, Xavier Gray? " I followed her surprised gaze and discovered his erged expression still same as before. The man remained nonchnt unwilling to give the tiny girl any answer thus I shot him a meaningful nce pleadingly. Unexpectedly he understood my hint of words and stretched out his hand hesitantly for shaking like a gentle man, " Hello, little girl. Nice to meet you." The girl quickly groped his hand and answered in her excited tone, " Hello.. Hello.. O my god! I should tell my friends that I have met with the president for real. You are more handsome than TV." I chuckled lightly and was really impressed over the demon''s attitude that he achieved such mini fans too. My gaze spotted few people who had started paying attention on us deeply. Lucky he had his ck sunsses on his face thus no one recognised their nation''s god in a nce.Meanwhile the presidential guards quickly rushed over us and one of them asked anxiously, " Mr President, are you alright? " He disengaged his hand from the girl''s palm and replied briefly, " I''m okay." I sensed the public eyes deepening on us thus urged him quickly, " We should leave this ce fast." He noticed the crowd too thus agreed in a brief moment. I bid farewell to the little girl before heading back for the car under the protection of guardsman. I will be fired today for sure ! As we both hopped into the car, I took the front seat as usual. Enduring the burning pain from my left knee, I gritted my teeth to stop my howling pain pounding against my chest painfully. As my eyes leaped on the rear view mirror hanging on the top of us, I discovered those blue eyes were staring at me. At that precise moment, I really saw his brows frowning a little as if he was concerned about my scrunched up. Breathing hard in anticipation,I quickly averted my eyes in nervousness and thought of wandering my eyes outside instead. damn!! His eyes really work on me hypnotisingly! I know that I was in fault. But as soon as I spotted the little puppy on the street, my only subconscious wanted to save him anyhow. Perhaps,my loneliness during my entire childhood was the main reason that pushed me into a state that I wished to see everyone safe and sound. After all, darkness was the essential part of my life. As I was dwelling in my own thoughts, I heard his mechanical tone ordering off the chauffeur, " Drive to the nearby hospital !" I was stunned for a moment before ncing at him from the corner of my eyes. Did he get hurt? Why didn''t I see it? Damn Iris! A sudden concern aroused from the core of my heart. Even the chauffeur''s asked looking back on his way anxiously, " Mr President, did you get hurt? Should I call any ambnce?" Mr President only rolled his eyes before ordering through his tightening lips, " You talk too much, Ace. Drive the car fast." I saw Ace''s baffled expression before starting up the engine quickly. I decided to keep quite and gently rubbed my bruised knees while hissing softly under my breath in silence. Soon after, the car had parked in front of the city hospital as the guards quickly shoved into the hospital to clear the crowd. After all, they didn''t wish to create another headline for the president! As we both stepped down,I spotted the nurses and doctors were all standing at the doorway to receive their honourable president shippingly. Mr President walked first emitting his mysterious and powerful aura that made everyone''s eyes lowering down subsequently. He gestured me to follow him inside as my concerned eyes scanned his figure from head to toe. If he gets hurt anywhere because of me, my guilt will have no bound. I followed his footsteps as the chairman of hospital greeted him respectively. After having some brief conversation, the chairman led us into a vip room decorated withvishing bed, a 52 inches LED tv and a warm pair of sofa sets. As we entered the room, Mr President. turned his attention back on me and ordered, " Lie Down, Miss Young. The doctors are on their way." I blurted out instantly without having any damn idea of his words, This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. " What??" He stepped near me and spoke nonchntly, " Your knee is hurt. It should be treated quickly." I blinked twice confusedly and tried to register his words in my head! Wait, did wee all the way to treat my injuries? My face stiffed shyly at his generous act as I denied politely, " Mr President, it''s just some little bruises. You didn''t have to bother taking me in here. I will apply some ointment on it." His eyes dimmed a little as his maic tone echoed in the giant room, " Then you should have thought about the consequences before jumping into the street, Miss Young.I don''t want any shit rumours about me. If this news leak out, people will think that I mistreat my subordinates and can''t take of their medical states. Do you want that? " I stayed quite for a moment to grasp with his intention. Well, he was just trying to save his image in front of the nation. Thus I nodded my headpromisingly before walking towards the white bed. I quickly put off my high heels absentmindedly before plopping down on the bed obediently. He observed my movements attentively and somehow I noted a hint of guilt for speaking those harsh words in his eyes. The chairman retreated himself before assuring repeatedly that he would send his best medical team here. I kept staring at the ceiling waiting to receive my statement as I vaguely sensed his existence inside the room. He nced at me nkly before sitting down on the sofa crossing his legs domineeringly. The silence was weeping but his eyes were still too violent that were piercing through my heart and soul quietly. As I exhaled a long sigh, my phone beeped beside my pillow suddenly. Reaching out for the phone, I snapped it unlock using my finger print as a short message popped out from nowhere. Darling, I didn''t like the way, he touched you! The fuck! I gripped my teeth harder and replied back furiously, Reply : "...." Chapter 16 ~His Trick ~ Chapter 16 ~His Trick ~ XAVIER''S POV~~ My eyes were fixed on the girl over the bed who kept observing little stuffs inside the room. My subconscious mind couldn''t help but recalled the terrified moment between us. She was just one step away from loosing her life yet she prompted so powerful at that time. Carrying the puppy with all her might, she stood frozen as if she was awaiting to embrace the death. My soul nearly left this poor body once it caught the sight of her startled fatigue, middle of the road as the track charged itself like a true monstrous creature! At that precise moment,I don''t why I wanted to save her at any cost. My conscious mind was all alerted and dragged me in to save the alluring beauty without hesitation. To think about this logically,It had been only a day since she appeared in my life. But surprisingly I felt something odd between us whenever Iid my eyes on her and noticed the charming ws in her movements. As I kept staring at her anxious figure, two female doctors along with one red haired nurse entered into the room quite hastily. Their eyes fell on my sitting silhouette as they blushed profusely as if they had encountered their newly wedded hubby. I shook my head helplessly before getting up andmanded in a chaste voice, " Check her out fast!" The group of women jolted tremendously before takingrge stride towards her and started the treatment. She had been remaining obedient since we came in here and answered some of the doctor''s brief questions very patiently. After making sure that she didn''t get hurt anywhere else, one of the doctor informed me staring at my cold face like a hungry wolf, " Mr President, she is all right except some little bruises. Our nurse will help her dressing the scratches." Her answer was clear.She wouldn''t need to check on an unimportant person. I was pretty sure that if I was there on the bed instead of Miss Young, this gleeful doctors would definitely stay here to lick my boots. I kept my tone firm as my eyes red at her deeply, " You do it on your own.I don''t want any bruises on her knee and make sure that she doesn''t feel pain I shot my words in breath and found everyone''s face dumbfounded. Even Miss Young was staring at me in puzzlement. Wait, did I exaggerate too much? I wasn''t meaning anything else jeez! I just don''t want to be the bad boy boss in her eyes! It took a while to assert my words in their mind as they kept staring at my static face. Soon after, the female doctor nodded her head nkly before instructing something to the nurse next to her lowly. The nurse went out as I stood in front of the bed towering spontaneously. The doctor didn''t dare to waste anymore time and started scanning her bruises. It wasn''t a major injury but still a lot of blood flowed down. My mind audibly felt worried when it saw her bruised skin along with bloodstains. She had a fair, smooth skin like a raindrop without a single blemish. Her green eyes reflected a mysterious aura of her that separated her personality from others. I couldn''t help but praise that she had the best facial features along with talents which was very rare. At least I had never encountered any other woman like her. My random thoughts were interrupted as I heard her panicking tone, " No way! Are you guys nning to inject me?" I followed her horrified gaze and saw the injection on the tray carried by the red haired nurse. The female doctor replied nonchntly taking up the injection, " Yes, mam. It will heal your pain soon or else you may start feeling painter at nighttime. " She refused instantly protecting her knee curling up like a frightened kid, " No, no. There''s no need. I will be fine absolutely." She seemed too afraid of injection thus continued grumbling noisily. I finally spoke snatching her attention on me, T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. " Miss Young, it''s just an injection. You don''t need to be so frightened." She gave me a puppy eyes almost blinding my vision and responded almost pleading, " No, Mr President. I really don''t want this. I.. I don''t like injections." I was bewitched by her begging gaze for a moment but quickly returned to my firm state remembering that her well being was the first priority. I shook my head helplessly before walking near her bed and assured her while keeping my tone as soft as I can, " Miss Young, let me tell you a story. Calm down and listen to me first." She blinked awkwardly baffled out of my nonsensical topic. My only intention was to divert her attention on something else. Thus I started telling her about ourst operation randomly. I thought women were disinterested over actions or violent issues but unexpectedly she seemed much more excited. I exined about how we destroyed the most influencal gangs in the state and boasted about how mastermind trap I setted back then. Her eyes sparked in excitement as if she was picturing those bloody scenario inside her mind. My tone was quite influencer like my speech. After spending so much time in politics, I knew that how to seduce people with my charm. I gestured to the female doctors who seemed awestruck and ordered to give the injection now. Lucky they turned out to be smart and quickly injected her when she was immersed into my conversation. After I figured out that the doctors were done with their injection, I quickly changed my express into my bossy attitude. Giving her a nk re, I ordered fixing my sleeves, " Let''s go Miss Young. We need to head for the office soon." She snapped out of her wild thoughts. Her eyes caught sight of the empty injection holding by thedy doctor. The next moment, her astounded tone blurted out, " Wait? What did she do? When.. when did she inject me? " Chapter 17 ~ His Care ~ Chapter 17 ~ His Care ~ I chose to ignore her words as we were running out of time. Putting on a victorious smile, I started heading outside after stuffing my fists into my pockets and urged her, " Miss Young, follow me fast. We are done here. " I vaguely heard her sutured word, " You... you tricked me.." With the saying she jumped off from the bed and started trailing me off. The nurse quickly interrupted her pace handing over a paper piece, " Miss, that''s your prescription! " She was already erged thus shouted back, " Fuck You! " I chuckled lightly at her demonic tone without being noticed by anyone. I started walking through the corridor fast and heard her high heels storming towards me like marching. She gasped trying to catch up with my paces andined from a distant away behind my back, " Mr President, you.. you shouldn''t have tricked me. I told you that I was okay. Why did you insist on giving me injections?" I paused in my track abruptly before turning around and met her burning gaze which was filled with I wanted to keep my image inevitable thus replied shrugging my shoulders as if I did it for my own sake, " I don''t want any virus spreading out from you. Moreover you will be around me always. I can''t risk myself because of your foolishness." Her face darkened as she kept staring at me with her cold dagger eyes. I adjusted my sleeves again before turning back and heading outside towards my expensive car rows. IRIS''S POV ~~ I puffed my cheeks before hauling up into his car. I couldn''t register this foolishness of mine that he had been ying around with me inside just to divert my attention from the injection. But somehow it felt sweet in my heart that he showed little concern for me.Hearing out the siren of the car, I snapped out from my wild thoughts and immediately scolded to myself memorising that he was only doing it for his image. After we reached over the presidential office, I stormed inside Mr.Scott''s office without hearing any prior order from him. I vaguely sensed his scornful gaze on my back as he skipped in his office. As if I care ? Mr Scott weed me with a proud gaze as he asked politely, " Miss Young, sit down. I heard that you encountered an ident. Are you better now?" I threw my pursue on the desk before plopping down on the chair leisurely. I have a long sigh before replying with due respect, N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. " I''m fine, Mr Scott. Thanks for your concern." He beamed into a satisfied smile and spitted out finally, " The ceo''s have been very impressed with your task. Perhaps president will consider soon to promote your post. By the way, you never mentioned in your cv that you are a professional hacker? " I was silent for a moments before replying nonchntly, " It wasn''t so important to mention, Mr.Scott. It was kind of my passion. Anyways handover those tasks to me. I want to finish it off as soon as possible." For the rest of the day, I stayed in Mr. Scott''s office finishing my works slowly and hadn''t received anymore order from Mr President. I was so devastated into works that I forgot to look at the mechanical clock hanging just in front of my eyes. By the time, I felt exhausted, the evening had fallen down weing a chilling night. Mr.Scott had already left for the Eden International Limited after giving me some instructions. I yawned loudly out of tiredness and rubbed byzy eyes gently. ncing at the mechanical clock, I found that it was already 8:30 at night. Considering the fact that I should head back to my apartment now, I decided to leave the office now. Thus I headed outside only finding the empty staffroom and my eyes subconsciously looked at a certain room. The light had been turned off. Thus I assumed that he had left the office too. I hauled up in the office elevator before striding down at the ground floor. Without the security guards, I didn''t find any office staffs except me. I went straight outside only to be noticed the foul weather outside. A gush of cold wind passed through my body as I quivered in coldness. The sky grumbled like a hungry animal as I looked up instinctively only to be found out that dark clouds had covered the skypletely. I cursed under my breath and waited for a taxi patiently. My hands asionally went to rub my exposed arms in shiver and cold. My eyes were glued at the empty street as I started to move ahead impatiently. Fuck! I don''t want to be stuck in my office room for the entire night! My apprehensive gaze was stuck on the concreted street like a lost child who just wanted to head back to her home. But there wasn''t any single taxi left that could help me out in this situation. Except some private cars who didn''t give damn of my condition passed away one by one. Another thunderstroke crashed down from the sky as I jolted shifting in a corner. When I finally thought that I had to go back to the office again, a familiar Maybach stopped just in front of me suddenly. I jerked off and stared at the closed window nkly anticipating a figure inwardly. The cked window pulled down slowly as I spotted the domineering man inside. He spitted out ordering like a big boss, " Get in the car." I was stunned for a couple of seconds and intended to turn down his offer. He could have asked me nicely that did I need lift? I hate this damn attitude honestly! Standing straight ahead, I wanted to speak out those words but my words were swallowed back when I received a death re from him. Squirming like a kitten inwardly, I climbed up in the car but this time, I sat in the back seat hastily. After I sat down, I realised my mistake thus wanted to shift my spot. But judging his nonchnt expression, I decided to let it be like that. The chauffer started the engine as he started the car without hearing out my address. I diverted my gaze outside and tried to ignore him as much as possible. I don''t know why his presence makes me uneasy! Still my disobedient eyes started noticing his little movements vaguely. His eyes were stuck on the rain droplets falling on the car''s window and seemed to sink in deep thoughts. Much to my surprise, he quickly turned his head to notice my peripheral gaze. I was surprised for a moment before started rubbing my arms awkwardly to hide my uneasiness. He asked indifferently noticing my movements, " Cold??" I shook my head politely and tried to read his intention. His eyes dimmed and suddenly he pulled off his blue coat. I was dumbfounded at his manly gesture as he handed over the suite to me ordering, " Put it on." I looked up at him surprised written all over my expression and tried to deny once again. He read my thoughts earlier and suddenly drapped the coat around my figure. I froze in my spot as the rough scent from his suit filled my nostrils encircling butterflies in my stomach. I heard his gentle tone while shifting further away from me, " You are quite stubborn, Miss Young. I don''t like stubborn people." So what? Fire me? Chapter 18 ~ An Illegitimate Affair With Mr. President ~ Chapter 18 ~ An Illegitimate Affair With Mr. President ~ || XAVIER''S POV || I was initially nning to ignore her existence after finding her waiting for the local cab quite anxiously. I noticed her working hard for the entire day and for some dumb reason, I had to admire her passion and determination towards her asserted tasks. I wanted to pull my eyes away from her pitiful situation but my slipped tongue denied my decision entirely. Thus as soon as my maybach started passing by standing figure, I blurted out suddenly " Stop". Now look at her damn attitude! I offered her my most expensive retro suite but she constantly kept denying my kind offer and that kinda made me interested into her more.If there was another woman except her, they would have died in overwhelming happiness that Xavier Gray had offered her his own worned suite. But she is different.. different from all the girls that I have met so far. The rest of the path was dull and awkward as the summer rain started pouring down from the dark clouded sky outside. She didn''t even try to utter a word! Fuck! It''s bothering my attitude again! I let out a dry cough hesitating bad to initiate the conversation but quickly came up with a reasonable excuse, " Miss Young, where should I drop you?" She jolted in her spot slightly before replying me back briefly, " Season Apartment road 13." I nodded with understanding and ordered my driver to drive over there first politely. Again, we fell in another round of dense silence as if only the faint tune of breathing could be heard in this little spacious car. Before I could initiate anymore conversations, my driver parked in front of a 20th floor apartment suddenly. She nced outside watching the ushering rain nkly and started unfolding her seat belts. I kept my T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. expression nonchnt but deep inside, I was disappointed on the fact that she had ignored me like a shit. Just then I thought that she would get off without offering me a formal thank you, she suddenly turned around and asked politely, " Do you mind of having a coffee in my apartment, Mr President?" I stared at her puzzled face for a couple of seconds as if she was regretting thousand times for giving me this bold invitation. Looking back at the rainy weather outside, I thought that a hot coffee would be a good idea. Thus ignoring my prominent status for the first time, I replied briefly knowing that it could be a daring risk to enter her apartment, " Okay!" She was shocked after receiving my affirmative answer as I felt slightly embarrassed for being so casual. As I noticed the front, the driver was giving me an awestruck look too as If I had spoke in an indistinct I heard her gentle tone while pulling open the car door, " Sure! Please follow me up." I instructed my personal bodyguards to stay far away from the apartment. Because paparazzis never leaves me alone. I don''t want any kind of rubbish news tomorrow. Thus I trailed her footsteps inside the expensive apartment slowly. IRIS''S POV~~ My expression changed dramatically into a pitiful one as soon as he answered me positively. I was offering him to have a coffee out of respect. As I was badly confident on my thought that he would refuse my proposal. But my n never worked well.. Cursing my mentality brutally, I got down from the half drenched Maybach before rushing inside the apartment''s building. I saw his frowned face annoyed on the heavy rain as he followed my footsteps as a guard quickly approached to him holding an umbre. Climbing down, he patted his suit as usual before looking up at me apprehensivly. I gestured him politely to follow my way as he indicated the guards to stop who wanted to follow him upstairs. He put on a mask to avoid any gossip and silently follow me into the elevator. The olddy in white hairs and a loose dress had gotten into the elevator too. She seems to stay in my next apartment but honestly we never had any neighbourly rtionship. He walked behind me and stopped just after my side. As the elevator strode upstairs, I vaguely sensed the olddy''s suspicious gaze on him. I gulped down my saliva in nervousness and solemnly prayed that he couldn''t be found by anyone.. Or else, I will be the headline tomorrow! An illegal affair with the president? That sound terrible! Holy Shit! As the elevator stopped at the 15th floor, I quickly rushed out not even ncing at his way. The whole floor was quite empty as the weather was rough, everybody was already inside their respective houses. He followed me slowly and paused as I started typing the pass codes. As the door unlocked, I saw the olddy ring at me suspiciously as if I was going tomit a grieve crime. Basically anyone would be suspicious watching a handsome hunk entering into a single woman''s apartment atte night. Giving her an awkward smile, I pushed open the door before sliding one side and gestured my vvip guest to head inside, " Pleasee in. Its kinda messy. I wasn''t here for the entire day though." He looked at me indifferently before making his way inside slowly. As I was busy in locking the door, I found him paused at midway just before the couch. I wanted him to say sit down and then my eyes were pooped out in horror ncing at the messy couch. Just like other day, Daisy left her bra over the couch and the worst part was that there was a man''s underwear crunching at a corner. I looked up at his expression in shocked and embarrassed. His expression had darkened and a slight erged frown appeared in his handsome face. I mentally stabbed Daisy thousand times before quickly rushing over the couch. Grabbing them harshly in my fist, I breathed rapidly and offered him the couch abruptly, " I''m sorry.. Sorry for the inconvenience. Its my best friend who usuallyes here. Please sit down. I wil be back in a minute." He pulled out the mask swiftly before gazing through my eyes coldly as if he was looking through the sincerity of my words. Humming coldly, he walked towards the couch gently as I headed for the kitchen to make a hot coffee.

Chapter 19 ~ She has a child? ~ Chapter 19 ~ She has a child? ~ || XAVIER''S POV || The ear piercing thunderstrokes continued outside constantly as I heard sky crashing tunes falling over the whole Silverstone City. My mind drove away a moment back when I spotted those scatered clothes spurted all over the couch. Very very unexpectedly,I felt an undefined rage coursing through my entire mind at the thought of it. Logically speaking, that was herpletely private issues but my fucking mind didn''t find a damn logic to stop getting bothered for no reason. When she earnestly bustled about the whole situation that perhaps her besty had fucked someone here, my mind subconsciously eased up as if a rain had poured down after a dry rough Summer day. She was sincere with her exnation that soothed over my raged heart quite fast. I settled myself down on the couch before gazing through the transparent windows beside. The rain once again started pouring down heavily drenching the newborn leaves of nearby trees. I heard vague sound of utensils from the kitchen tingling against each others and subconsciously looked up on her way. Her impatient figure was running all over the kitchen and tried to keep her working fast as much as possible. I blurted out suddenly when she nearly slipped off a knife from her hand, " Miss Young, don''t be so rush. I am not in hurry,by the way." She paused before shooting me a baffled look and nodded her head slightly.I chuckled inwardly at her stupefied expression and leant back against the soft leather of couch. My eyes wandered around her middle sized apartment that contained three rooms. The interior decoration wasn''t sovishing like mine but it seemed modern and quite alluring. The guest room had two leatherette sofa sets, a tea table at middle and a fifty two inches LED TV hanging in front wall. The wall had different paintings mostly the scenario of natures thus I assumed that she might be nature friendly girl. Snapping out from my scamming thoughts, I heard her slow and cautious footstepsing over to me while holding a coffee mug nervously. She put it down on the table in ahead and offered me in a professional tone, " Try it! I can''t be so good like your chef by the way. Umm.. I need to change my cloths. I will be back in a minute." I nodded my head slightly before reaching out for the espresso coffee. I saw her retreating back rushing inside her bedroom as I hualed up from my spot intending to see the pouring raindrops closely. Tiptoeing near the transparent ss door, I sipped the hot coffee rxing peacefully but the next moment, I heard something unexpected that I never imagined not even in my nightmare. A tiny yet odd tone echoed from my back leaving mepletely frozen in my spot, " Mommy.. Mommy.. you are back... Intruder.. We have an intruder in our home..." I choked on my coffee vigorously and almost roasted my lips in heat after coughing out loud. My face turned sour and incredibly pathetic as I shifted my gaze behind robotically. She has a child here? Is she married or single mom? As this vague thoughts concluded in my mind, I wandered my gaze around suspiciously to discover the source of that voice.I could feel my nerves tensing up in assumptions as each nanosecond crepted away. What if she has a child? Does it matter to me? I couldn''t be bothered less as my eyes searched for the tiny one harshly.The following moment, my mouth fell open in awe as I spotted the mini home robot repeating hismand standing at a far distance from me. An awful lough or you can say relief escaped through my lips but the tiny robot started charging forward N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner. recklessly as if I was a gambler. My smile faded away quickly as soon as I noticed his back parted open and was aiming a knife towards me. I was stunned, stupified for a moment before trying to stop him earnestly, " No. No.. wait.. Hey.. robot.. I''m not any intruder. Your owner knows me." Fuck! It doesn''t listen to me! As he approached nearer and I started stumbling backwards,her doorroom flew open in shot like a erupted volcano. Her louder voice bounced against the gravity as she roared towards her home robot unbelievably, " What the fuck? Stressed tomato? Come here! He is my boss, jeez! " Surprisingly, the robot paused at midway abruptly before epting hermand and phrased apologizotically in his steel voice, " Stressed Tomato is sorry.. Stressed Tomato is sorry." She ignored his words and shouted like an angry mom to the robot amusingly, " Get back inside the bedroom. Don''te outside." The robot quickly rushed back inside her bedroom grinding his body against the stone cold floor and closed the door off obediently with a thud. Her expression rxed as she apologised walking over to me honestly, " I''m sorry about that,Mr President. He couldn''t identify you and thought of an intruder. I really apologise. " I waved my hand nonchntly and repliedughing softly, " I understand, Miss Young. No issues! Anyways why do you keep home robot? You have quite weird passion. " She seemed slightly nervous before speaking out, " Actually it was a gift from my best friend and she purposely set his program like my child. Thus it addresses me as mommy. " Iughed at her words loudly as her face shed in embarrassment. Averting her attention on the tea table, she cursed loudly, " Oh no! Your coffee has turned cold. Let me make another one for you. " With the saying, she quickly headed back inside the kitchen leaving meughing out loud at her home robot and her besty''s weird melodrama. This girl is quite interesting! Exhaling some exhausted breathing, I sat down on the couchfortably waiting for another hot coffee. This time, she made it fast before serving me once again with some cookies. She changed into her home clothes and appeared fresh. Offering me the hot coffee, she sat opposite of my direction without uttering any words. I took a cautious sip and felt overwhelmed. I must say that her hands were useful just like her talent. The sugar was perfect just ording to my preference and didn''t taste rough. Averting my gaze on her face,I found her awkward expression looking at me. I put down the cup gently and asked out after wandering my gaze around the empty apartment, " You live here alone?" She nodded before giving me a brief reply, " Yes!" I hummed coldly and asked again taking another sip from my delicious coffee, " Where''s your parents? Does they live in this city too?" Her expression immediately sank as I regretted inwardly for asking too much. Very quickly, she regained her earlier calmposure and answered looking up, " Dead! I was raised up in an orphanage till 13." I paused a bit before finding her expression indifferent. Usually anyone would be sad while telling her painful past but the girl in front of me was totally different. She replied to me just like another random story as my curiosity sparked like electricity. Still I spatted out the mostmon dialogue, " I''m sorry for hurting your feelings." She gazed through my eyes deeply untill they turned deeper and deeper,an endless vortex that was filled with numerous unyelding, unsolving mysteries. My heart suddenly throbbed,an unknown emotion that I never felt towards anyone before after looking through those eyes. What were those unknown feelings?
