C H A P T E R 7

Kindly read the A/N at the end!!! 

Krystal looks up at the sky, tears falling down her cheeks. She watched as the aeroplane join the 2 A.M. clouds, slowly scurrying away, disappearing little by little as seconds pass by. Nick left and she cannot help but feel brokenhearted. No, They two did not end their relationship, they are still together but she can't stop the feeling of being broken, torn.

Krystal and Nick will be thousands of miles away from each other, she can't avoid being worried. He is on the other side of the world where he can and will meet new people, live in a completely new environment. Change is possible and she is afraid. Doubts are growing thicker inside of her.

Krystal is afraid of change. She is even terrified for Nick to change and forget her. She is terrified that he will find someone else and love someone else. The thought of it make her tears roll down and her heart clutch tighter inside her chest.

"No." She murmurs to herself. "Nick would not be that man." Krystal is already missing him.

Krystal enters the company building with her red and puffy eyes, crying from a few hours ago is evident. Few sniffles leave past her mouth as she walks, Krystal is trying to compose her broken self, trying to be okay. As long as she wants to stay at home and take a rest, she can't.

Krystal march by her steps, heels clicking through the shiny floor. Her head and thoughts are floating in the air, thinking about Nick as well. Everyone is looking at her. She didn't mind – didn't mind the countless numbers of prying eyes looking at her. She continues to stride up to her office.

Krystal immediately halts when she is now standing in the monitoring department. She blinks her eyes. Right. She is no longer part of the team. She is now the secretary of Mr Knight and today is gonna be her first day working for him.

Krystal gulp. Ever since that accident, Krystal has grown even more uncomfortable around him. She is not ready to face him again, she doesn't know how to. Then, guilt rushes to her whole body once again. Nick still doesn't know about this. She was trying to tell him last night but something was stopping her.

Krystal did not want to cause trouble and she also did not want to destroy the last moment she have with him. Krystal choose to stay quiet and she promised herself that it won't happen again.

 Her heels turn and went to Mr Knight's office. She enters the elevator with the few others. As the elevator travels upwards, she shifts uncontrollably in her standing position. Then, her eyes scan around, witnessing each of them are occupied with their own business.

She was at the very most back of the small elevator. With that, she leans against the cold wall and stares forward. On each floor, one or two would get off until she is the only one left. Emptiness engulfs her and her mind accidentally whirl with the memory of last night, of her and Nick making love.

The image of the passionate kisses and touches makes her bite her lower lip, her whole body igniting with a slight sensation of fire. Last night was so beautiful for her, hot and very intimate as well. Her right foot taps the floor repeatedly as she is getting deeper and lost at it.

Nick's body is on top of hers. His lips moulded on hers. His tongue grazing every tip and part of her skin. His hands holding her, touching her caressing her. He was inside of her and she feel his breathe, his moans, his grunts. So blissful if felt.

Krystal's eyes immediately rest her head onto the wall, eyes closing and breathing escalated. Her lower lips were still in between her teeth. She feels hot, her legs press tightly in her skirt. She is wetting, turn on.

Krystal only gain back her sanity, eyes shot open and stumble when the elevator opens. Gladly, there's no one waiting to enter which makes her sigh in relief. Krystal quickly exits and walk directly into the CEO's office. The door clicks and she softly enters.

As Krystal stand inside, once again, emptiness welcomed her. She looks around and you see no Mr Knight. Krystal walks forward to his table, her head cocks from right to left but she sees no sight of him.

"Where is he?" Krystal asks herself.

"First day and you're already late." His voice is low as he whispers in her ears, his breath ticklish. She let out a squeak and jump away.

"Oh, sweet fuck!" Krystal's voice echoes throughout his office and she is sure about having a heart attack on the spot. God, how Krystal hate being startled. She is breathing fast and Xavier only looks at her before walking to take a seat.

His eyes flicker. 'Oh darling, how I would like to give you the sweetest fuck of your life' he thought but did not say. "Didn't know you could curse, Krystal." He says to Krystal and she follows him with her eyes. Who is he kidding? Of course, sh6 know how to curse, she just doesn't use them every day.

Xavier finally flops onto his seat and she could only stare at him despite her startled stage. Xavier is only wearing a loose white t-shirt paired with his black pants and black leather shoes. His hair was slightly dishevelled, some strands reaching his forehead. His round silver earrings are attached beautifully to his ears.

Krystal only noticed that he wear earrings just now. It makes him look more handsome.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer," Xavier announce which makes Krystal snap her eyes away from his face, looking to her right. She turns pink. Xavier sees your blushing cheeks, he smiles a little. Then, the smile on his face fades when he sees the marks on your neck which you forgot to hide.

"I-I wasn't..." You reason out.

He lowly growl, eyes darkening at the sight of it. It irked him. "Get to work." His sharp and demanding voice commanded her. Krystal gulp before nodding her head. She then scurries away unto her own table not knowing the eyes following her. what a sudden change, she thought.

Krystal is busy doing some papers that are piled on her desk, too focused on them. She works as a secretary is nothing much of a difference back to her job at the monitoring department. They were just the same, reviewing paper works, reading them, passing them to the CEO and others.

Her phone suddenly rings and she looks up to who it is. Her eyes grow wide with excitement when you see it's Nick Krystal smiled happily before picking up the call. "Nick!" She squeaks loudly which made Xavier shot up his eyes in her direction and she have no idea that he was looking at her.

"Hey, baby."

"How are you?" Krystal asks, her throat getting stuffier, wanting to cry. "You landed safe baby? Are you now in your apartment? How is the weather there?"

Nick chuckles from the other side of the line. "Babe slows down, will you? And yes I landed safe, yes I am now in my apartment. The weather is good and I am fine."

"I'm just worried." She sighs, closing her eyes. "I miss you."

Nick sighs. "I miss you too –"

"Krystal, what do you think you're doing?" Xavier's voice made Krystal put the phone down. Immediately, she turns around to face him. She meets his stern face, almost scary. "Aren't you in your working hours?"

"I'm sorry. I mindlessly did not think of that."

Xavier scoffs at her. "Aren't you supposed to be intelligent and mindful in your work, Krystal? You are working under me so you better be mindful around. You are my secretary, you are to remind me of all my activities, not I giving you reminds of what you should do."

"I'm sorry." Krystal ducks her head, embarrass. She feels like a failure. This is her first day and it feels like hell already.

Xavier stands up from his seat, sighing. He moves towards the rack to grab his suit. Krystal watches him as he wears it. The black suit fits him perfectly and making look really expensive. He then comb his hair with his fingers and she got to get a grasp of his forehead.

He then stuck one hand into the pocket of his pants before turning to Krystal. She quickly look away. "Get up, we're going somewhere."

Her eyes shot up to meet his. "W-where? But you don't have any meeting or appointments at the moment, Mr Knight."

Xavier only looks at her, irises so intense, flaring. He said nothing and walk through the door. Krystal panic. Xavier exited his office and she was the only one left inside. She stands up instantly, grab her bag before rushing out.

Krystal quickly run to catch him, forgetting her phone, forgetting that Nick was still on the line.
