11: Everything

Be my date...

Be my date, Talia.

Be my date.

What the hell? B-Be his date? Is he freaking serious with that? I know that he has no time to joke around and I am very knowledgeable that he does not joke. Did he mean to say that word? Did he?

I looked at him with my curious eyes. Confusion crept into my face. I don't understand him. "H-Huh?"

Be my date. That sentence did not leave my mind. It was like a broken record that keeps on playing and is glitching in my hearing. He really said that. Or maybe, I misheard it?

He licked his lower and raised his left brow afterward. "You don't want to?"

"No! I mean, yes! Yes, I don't want to! Why would I date you anyway? You are my boss and I am your secretary!"

The side of his lips then rose. "Relax," he muttered under his breath before he stepped forward. I gulped and stepped backward on the other hand. He was staring at me intently and was like he was telling me something through his eyes which I don't get. "You know who I am, right?"

I nodded my head even though I am nervous. I could even feel my knees shaking! "Y-Yes, of course. You are Mister K-Kiel Alexandro Ramirez..."

His eyes darkened when I uttered his whole name. Why is that, anyway? What is wrong with him? "Drop that fucking mister."

I gulped when he took another step toward me. I felt so weak just by his stares at me. I could feel his gaze through my soul and in just a second, I know. I know I will collapse. "W-Why?"

He kept on stepping forward and I on the other hand steps backward. Not until I felt the cold wall against my back. I closed my eyes in frustration. What is he doing? Why does he keep on getting near me? What does he want?

"Please, stop. Tell me what you want," I told him. He smirked and hover down. His lips went near my ears which made me groan in annoyance. What is he doing?! I closed my eyes tightly and harshly when I felt his breath on my skin.

"I said, date me."

Holy fuck. That whisper made me goosebumps. He used his sexy and hot tone to seduce me but there is no way I get seduced by him. My wall is tight and no one can break it, especially him who is just nothing.

"Who are you for me to date?" I gathered all of my strength just to throw that word toward him. Yes, who is he for me to date? I don't even know him other than he is a CEO and a billion heir. He has no right to just ask someone to date him, especially me. I mean, yes, they can ask, but not the way this Ramirez is doing right now!

He is fucking naughty and I hate him! I don't like guys with the same guts as his!

He chuckled in my ear. "More on, who are you to refuse my offer?"

I gritted my teeth and was bout to push him away from me when he traced his index finger in my earlobe down my neck. Damn him! He should have fired me when he will just do this kind of thing to me.  I hate this...

"I am Talia Hernandez," I bravely said and showed him my sharp gaze. He just chuckled and stared at my lips. That is when I moved my face away from him. What is the fucking doing? I will not hesitate to kick his ass off when he will do something worse!

"Well, I am your naughty boss."

"Please, stop it."

He chuckled once again. "Kidding aside, brat." He lightly kissed the side of my lip before he went away from me. That is when I felt relief. But wait, what? He k-kissed me? The side of my lips! He kissed the side of my lip! What the fuck?! Why did he do that?!

"W-What..." I was about to fire him for what he did but he already turned his back on me and went back to his seat. He even adjusted his polo suit like nothing! Like he did nothing to me!

I felt weak. I felt so many emotions. My system is so weak for me to grasp what happened. That man! If I could only punch his face!

"Prepare yourself for the meeting."

I just nodded my head to what he said later on. Now, he is back to his usual self. He acts as if nothing happened. I was still in my place and I am not able o move. I was still taken aback and so I forced myself to walk near the couch and sat there to relax.

Breathe in, and out.

Understand that naughty CEO. He will pay for what he did. I promise I will do vengeance.

"Don't take that seriously," Alexandro uttered later on while he is busy reading an article. "You are just too weak to speak for yourself."

I creased my brows. "Pardon?"

He let out a light sigh and looked at me with rolled eyes. "Fight for yourself next time."

I laughed sarcastically at what he said. "You are just naughty."

"I am but in the right place."

I looked away and can't utter anything.

"If someone will do that to you, you will just let them be? You will just say something without putting actions on it?"

"What do you mean?"

"We're in reality. Women nowadays were abused, harassed, and hurt; physically, and mentally. Fight for your life and don't just keep yourself shut."

He is weird. Why is he telling these things to me? He just jumped into this kind of topic. He did that lately to teach me a lesson, then? What the hell? How nonsense he is! He can tell me any lessons without him acting like a villain.

"I pity women," he added which made me feel insulted.

"I felt more pity for men like you," I fired back. "Women were usually hurt because of you guys. Men are the most reason why women are harassed, hurt, and abused. Don't put all the blames on us."

He stopped for a moment. He was like stunned and something flashes in his mind back all of a sudden. He looked at me with his blank face. "Men are protecting women."

How hilarious his words are. "Playing good, huh? Men are hurting women."

"Not all."

"I said most."

"Yeah," he nodded his head and looked down at the paper in his hands. "Most men protect their women. Maybe you haven't felt that. I bet man in your life never tends to love nor protect you at all cost?"

I froze. How dare he say that? "Shut your mouth if you know nothing."

He smirked and leaned against his seat. "No, Miss. I know everything. I know."

I gulped. What does he mean?
