CHAPTER 5

Shannon screamed out immediately she turned to take her right, there he stood, his hands stuffed in his pocket, his eyes fixed on her. Those cold eyes were gawking on her as though they were going to eat her up.

 Shannon crawled backward, it was as though her heart was no longer functioning, she could hear the loud beating of her chest; he had this effect on her, his face was as scary as hell but yet he looks incredibly handsome. How can someone be this scary yet handsome? She thought to herself.

   He took a step closer to her, Shannon slowly stood to her feet, her legs shaking so badly, if there was any perfect description of developing cold feet; that was what she'd was feeling.

  His height towered over hers , she'd was afraid of meeting with his gaze. So, she had her head facing the floor, his masculine scent hits her nose one more time, the familiarity about it was messing with her senses, she suddenly felt like drawing close to him, hugging him tightly as she inhaled the fragrance.

 "Snap out of your thought, Shannon! He's a dangerous man and here you are thinking of how to get laid with him!" Her subconscious warned.

  Another step from him made her move backward until she felt her back resting on the shelf where the shoes were arranged. Now, there was no route of escape for her, his tall model frame had every corner occupied.

 She sighed frustratingly, her heart rate accelerated, the supermart was always very cold, but there she was sweating profusely.

  She could even barely lift her face to meet with his, she'd had thought that after the interview that would be her last time of seeing him, but there he was standing right at her front, without any word said but yet she was very scared of him.

    Shannon couldn't bare the tension that was existing between them again, she needed to leave, as she move to take a step, his cold voice halted her.

  "You wouldn't dare take a step!" Voice so cold spoke in her ear.

 Shannon swallowed her saliva as she stood back transfixed to that spot, " What did he wants from her ?" She thought. 

   "What do you want?" She never knew where the courage was coming from, she'd had wanted to say that in her mind, but how she ended up voicing it out had her stupefied.

   In a quick moment, he had her face lifted up, his hands holding tightly to her jaw.

  Ryan was beyond speechless for a lady far back beyond his status, to query him, no one , absolutely no one had ever objected or had him queried before, Who was this lady that her scent keep playing in his head , but he couldn't recall who she was and she seems not to be afraid of him.

  He'd should have seen that coming after how brave she had been back at the A and D. But well, she had over stepped her boundary this time.

  "I wouldn't warn you again, the next time you dare query my order, you would spend the rest of your life paying for it, Understood?" His voice was more than strict.

   "Yes Sir.. " Shannon manages to mutter out , gritting her teeth together, his hands on her jaw hurts like hell. This was just like an introduction to how cruel he can be, she needed to avoid him at all costs.

   "Delete that video!" The order dropped, immediately he released his hand on her jaw.

  Shannon was short of words, how did he knew that she was taking a video of him and Carrie. She was sure that he hadn't seen her , even Carrie that was facing her didn't notice.

  "I.. Don't... Know... What... You're.... Talking.... About!" Her voice stuttered out betraying her, she had wanted to say it more confidently.

    " I won't repeat myself twice, young lady!" 

  "I... " She had wanted to argue again, but the look she got from him made her realized that he'd may send her to her early grave if she should not act accordingly to his order.

   "I would do just that!"  She said Instead as she opened her phone and acted as though she deleted the video, that Video wasn't just going to make her blog rise, she would gain many followers, income and she was suddenly going to be famous and rich, that was her ticket of making it to the top, she can't be so stupid to blow away the chance.

  "Done!" She muttered.

 She'd thought he was going to step aside away from her after she had deleted the video, but rather he stood still, his hands stuffed inside his pocket and those eyes feasting on her. 

  What did he want again this time? She asked he subconscious mind.

    "Do I look stupid to you, don't play pranks on me!" His voice was sounding irritated now, he was sounding as though he was entirely pissed off and was going to loose it soon.

   Shannon heart flinched, She obviously knew what he'd was talking about, "Who was this man?" She wondered. He wasn't even spying on her phone when she deleted the video, but yet he seems to tell her action like he was watching her all along.

  "I... Really don't know what you're talking about" Shannon sounded naive, blinking her long lashes rapidly, her eyes fixed on the floor.

   One moment she was still talking, the next, she was struggling to breath, he had his hands wrapped around her neck.

 She was shoking badly, " You really are stepping on my nerves,. You badly want to make me repeat myself twice isn't it?" He spoke hoarsely to her ears, Shannon was in a terrible state but yet the reaction his voice sent down her body was unbelievable; cold shivers ran down her spine, she felt the butterflies in her stomach flying, her body tingles aching for him to touch her.

   "Darn! What are you thinking" she cautioned herself.

   "Do as I say, Now! " He let go of her neck, Shannon coughed inhaling as much fresh air she could breath.

She wasted no time in deleting the Video, she showed him to him as a proof and then made to take her leave, but she felt herself being slammed back on the shelf she was resting her back. "What was it this time again?" She Wondered, blaming herself for getting into trouble with him.

  She gathered the little courage she had left and stares at him in his face, she almost choked out when she saw his eyes directed in at no other place than her chest region. The two button of her shirt was loosed revealing her white creamy breast.
