As I pushed the door open, the laughter ceased instantaneously. My heart raced as a rush of disbelief coursed through me. There in Mr Mattias's office. Was a woman leaning casually against his desk, A woman I had never seen before. She had long, flowing black hair and wore a sleek, red dress that hugged her curves perfectly. The air was thick with an awkward silence, and I could feel the tension rising.Mr Mattias, who was sitting behind his expansive desk, looked up with a mixture of surprise and worry. His dark eyes narrowed as they met mine. “Shimma,” he said, his voice steady but edged with something I couldn’t quite place. “Am I interrupting something?” I managed to ask, my voice barely above a whisper. “No not at all,” the woman said, a smirk playing on her lips. “We were just wrapping up a discussion about office improvements.” Her tone filled with sarcasm, and I could tell she was enjoying the moment.I swallowed hard, processing the implications of the situation. “I...
“Come in,” I yelled as I watched the door open. Revealing Mr Mattias.“M—Mr Mattias,” I stuttered as I watched him make his way into my office. He began to loosen his tie as he made his way toward me.I gulped hard, my eyes wide open, my mind racing with questions. What had gotten into him?He leaned towards me, about to take my lips, but I turned away.“No!“ I said. Turning back at him to see a frown settle on his face.“Why?“ He asked.“I need to talk to you,” I said. He hissed. Leaning towards me again.“Shimma, we can talk later. I want you now,” he groaned. His mouth searching for mine.“No, I'm serious, I really want us to talk,” I said, turning away from him just so I would avoid kissing him, even if it was so tempting to.Mr Mattias stood up straight, staring down at me.“What's wrong Shimma? Did I do anything wrong?“ He asked. I shook my head in a no. He then squatted down so that he could see me properly. His hand reached my face. Bringing it to face him.“What then is it th
“Shimma, Be my girlfriend,” Mr Mattias said. I gasped softly as my eyes flew open in shock.I was so dumbfounded, my tongue ceased words. Just then, my door opened as Lucas stood by the door. His eyes fell on Mr Mattias who squatted in front of me.“Lucas,” Mr Mattias said. Still squatted in front of me. Mr Mattias seemed un-bothered, But the way Lucas glanced at me sent a shiver down my spine. I couldn't quite read his expression—was it anger, concern, or something else entirely?LUCAS.“Shimma,” I found myself whispering her name. A smirk escaped my lips. Why do I find myself thinking of her?I mean, she's pretty, sure. But she's not the prettiest I have seen. There's just something about her. Something about her eyes. The way she looked at me. I loved how innocent she seemed. How gentle she sounded, I have to get to know her better. I don't know, but there's this force, pulling me towards her. And the way she stared at me, I can tell that she felt it too.I was done with what I had
MR MATTIAS.I needed to know her response. I wanted to know if she wanted to be my girlfriend. But Lucas. He came in and ruined the moment.I got up on my knees, my eyes locked with Lucas's. I walked past him, brushing his shoulders with mine. Letting him know he got me pissed.He followed behind me, shutting the door closed.We both got to my office. I walked in first, followed by him. I didn't even get to my seat or turn to him.“What is it that you wanted to tell me?” I asked.“Uhmm, I would like you to take a seat first,” He said to me, I raised a brow.“I chose to stand, and who are you to tell me what to do? It seems you are forgetting your place right?“ I said to him, I could feel anger slowly building inside of me.Lucas cleared his throat. He slipped his hand in and out of his hair, before parting his lips to speak.“Shimma, who is she? And why were you squatting in front of her?“ Lucas asked. I held my words for a few seconds. Thinking to myself.Was that why He asked to see
While I was lost in my thoughts. My phone rang against the table.I picked up my phone, it was Mr Mattias who was calling me.“Hello Sir,” I said.“As my girlfriend, I don't feel comfortable being called, Sir,” He teased. I giggled. I haven't even told him that I had accepted to be his girlfriend.“But we are at the office. I heard you scolding Lucas when he called you bro,” I mumbled, I heard him hiss softly.“You're not Lucas, you're my girlfriend,” he was really making that clear.“Okay baby, noted,” I said and we both giggled.“Come to my office, I want to see you,” he said.“Okay sir, sorry—babe, let me quickly round up,”“Leave them, I want to see you right now,” he groaned.“Okay, I'll be right there,” I said, then I hung up.I stood up, about to leave when my door forcefully opened.“What was that?“ Lucas mumbled. I furrowed my brows staring up at him. “W—what are you talking about?“ I asked, confused.“Why was my brother so close to you? What was he about to do to you?“ Luc
I knocked at Mr Mattias's door. Waiting to hear his voice.“Come in,” I heard him say. I opened the door. Slowly making my way into his office.“You kept me waiting,” he said in a low tone, his eyes fixed on mine.“I'm sorry, I got caught up with something,” I said. “Caught up with what, Shimma? you know I hate waiting when it comes to you,” he groaned.“I got caught up with Lucas, we both just had a brief conversation…. If not, i would have been…” I paused because I noticed an unfamiliar expression cross Mr Mattias's face. One I had never seen before.“Lucas? What conversation did you both have?“ Mr Mattias asked, his voice firm.“Uhmm, he was concerned because he saw you so close to me. I told him you were my dad's best friend, and being close was normal for both of us,” I mumbled. I became nervous because the more I spoke, the more furious I noticed he seemed. Why would he be angry? I and Lucas clearly have nothing going on, I had only met Lucas a few hours ago. “Lucas, Lucas,” M
“What did you just say?“ I asked. I was sure I didn't hear him right.“I said I had promised Shimma dinner tonight, I already made reservations, and I don't want to keep her….,” Lucas stopped talking because I raised a finger, stopping him from saying whatever he had to say.I knew it, I knew he was interested in Shimma, the way he stared at her when he walked into her office and saw the both of us. The fact that he was concerned about me being close to her. I fucking knew it! How dare he? How dare he ask my woman on a date?“Cancel it,” I said bluntly as I watched a frown settle on Lucas's face.“Why?“ He asked. Why? Would it be right if I told him Shimma wasn't just my Best friend's daughter? Would it be right if I told him that she wasn't just an employee to me? Would it be right if I told him she was my woman?“Stop questioning me, Lucas. Cancel that reservation. what I have to tell you is important, so I would advise that you take a seat,” I said to him, making sure he could sen
His eyes filled with desire and something else I couldn't quite put my hands on.I stood up just before he reached my desk. Without warning, his lips crashed into mine.His kiss was intense, his tongue exploring my mouth as he groaned softly. His hand tangled in my hair, sending shivers down my spine. Moments later, I felt his grip on my waist, pulling me closer, his fingers squeezing gently. My lips ached from the fervor of our kiss.He cupped my face, and that was when I began to kiss him back. But deep down, I realized it was all for him. So I let him lead.He pulled back, his gaze fixed on mine. “You're mine, Shimma. I won’t share you with anyone. If anyone tries to take you from me, I’ll rip them to pieces.” His words stunned me, leaving me breathless.Why would he say that so suddenly? The intensity in his voice made it clear he meant every word.MR. MATTIASI acted on impulse.My emotions had gotten the best of me, but why do I feel this way?“Are you okay?” Shimma’s voice broke
