CHAPTER NINE

"Okay. Okay. I will go. Stop pulling." I told her.

“Let me change into something more presentable.” I said and walked to my bedroom.

“Ohhhh. You want to seduce my boss too.” She joked.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head. “No.”

I turned to Naomi and warned her. “I don’t want you telling anyone that I’m an escort. Do you understand? This has to be our secret. Otherwise, your boss will think, I am a hooker and not a good candidate for a job."

"Yes. Yes. Of course. My lips are sealed. You are a regular woman and a very nice one at that." She assured me.

"Now, change and let's go." She yelled from the living room.

"I'm coming." I said and rummaged through my closet.

Most of my clothes were either, too revealing or too sexy.

I sighed. It was going to be a long day.

"Hurry up. Let's go." Naomi shouted.

I quickly picked out a short black skirt and a white shirt. It was the most presentable clothes, I had in my closet.

I slipped into the pants and put on the shirt.

"Ready." I shouted and walked out of the bedroom.

"What do you think?” I asked and turned around.

Naomi jaw dropped. “Isn’t the skirt too short, and the shirt, what happened to the top button, it’s showing your cleavage. I mean, they are really hot and all but, you should probably cover up."

I groaned and stomped my feet.

"That's all the presentable clothes, I have in my closet. Everything else is too sexy and revealing." I said and pulled up the hem of the skirt.

Naomi sighed. “Well we just have to make do. We will fix your wardrobe later. But just so you know, you look so hot right now. Your body is perfect and those breasts and legs. My boss is going to be so tempted. I bet you will end up seducing him.” " She teased.

"Not funny." I muttered and glared at her.

“I’m not seducing anyone. I will just try and act like a regular person. Now, let's go."

Naomi and I left the house.

The drive to the company was very long. It took us about two hours to reach there.

And when we arrived, I was shocked.

I knew Naomi was working in one of the biggest and most successful tech companies in the country but I did not expect this.

It was huge. The building was massive.

It was a mega-tall skyscraper of about 60-70 floors.

There were hundreds of people going in and out of the building. They were all wearing smart and fancy business suits and looked very professional.

"How many people work here?" I asked Naomi.

"Over ten thousand people. There are different departments and each has different employees. So, the total number, is hard to count." She replied.

My jaw dropped. “What the hell?”

"What department do you work for?" I asked Naomi.

"I work for the Research and Development team." She said.

"Research and Development? You do research and develop new technology and stuff?" I asked.

"Yep. Exactly. We work with the other teams to make sure that we are ahead of the competition. We make sure, that the products we launch, are not just good, but the best. And, that we are a leader in the market. We are the brain and the soul of the company. Without us, there will be no company. So, yeah. We are the most important team." Naomi replied.

"Wow." I was impressed.

"What kind of technology do you guys develop?"

"Well. The usual. Computers, phones, software. Stuff like that. We are also working on something that will change the world. It's a revolutionary piece of technology. We have a whole team working on it." Naomi said and parked the car.

"Come. Let's go." Naomi said and dragged me into the building.

I couldn’t believe my eyes as I walked in. The lobby was lavishly decorated.

There was marble flooring and a fountain.

Everything looked so classy and elegant.

People were walking around, talking on their phones and checking their watches.

There was a constant buzz and everyone looked busy.

"Wow.” I muttered.

"You should see the top floors. They are amazing." Naomi said.

Naomi led me through the security check.

We were about to head to the elevator when I heard a someone yell.

“Mr Sinclair is coming.”

As soon as those words were uttered, there was an instant commotion.

Everyone started panicking and running around. They were moving their desks and chairs, making everything look tidy.

"What is happening?" I asked Naomi.

"The CEO is coming. The boss. The big boss." Naomi replied and fixed her hair.

"Why is everyone panicking? And why are you fixing your hair and trying to look presentable?" I asked her.

"Because, Aya. He’s the big boss. The owner. He’s uptight and stern. His temper is bad and he has fired a lot of people. So, yeah. People are panicking. They don't want him to be angry with them. And, as for the hair and make up. Well, he is so hot. I mean, the man is gorgeous. If he notices me, I will die of happiness. So, you can't blame me for wanting to look good." She said and continued fixing her hair.

“Wow. The man seems like a nightmare." I said and rolled my eyes.

"Yes. He is. He’s very arrogant and rude. And, he has a terrible reputation. But, I will tell you, all that doesn't matter, because he is the hottest man I have ever seen." A woman beside us said.

"Really?" I asked her.

"Yes." Another woman replied. “He’s so f*cking hot. He’s perfect. Even though he’s my boss, I dream about him every night." The woman was drooling as she talked.

My jaw dropped.

These women were crazy.

"Wow. The man must be a god, if you are all swooning over him." I laughed.

"Wait until you see him. He's smart, good looking, rich, and very powerful. He's the whole package. You will fall in love with him too.” A tall, blonde woman said and blushed.

“I’m a man and I love the man. So, you know how incredible he is. He is my idol." A short fat man said and stared off into space.

I shook my head and smiled.

What the hell was this? Everyone seemed to be obsessed with the man.

He was definitely something special.

"Here he comes." Someone whispered and a hush fell over the entire floor.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the entrance.

My heart started beating rapidly.

Who was this guy? Why was he such a big deal?

"I am going to faint." Naomi whispered.

"Don't worry. Just breath." I said and patted her arm.

I was a little excited and nervous too. I wondered what he was like. I had never seen someone with such an impact.

Then, he walked in. He was dressed in a very expensive suit and was surrounded by men and women.

"That's him. That's Mr Sinclair." Naomi pointed.

My heart skipped a beat and my throat went dry.

Oh. My. God. That’s him.

That’s the same man I met yesterday. The man who kissed me. The man I did the dumb challenge with. The man who made me lose control.

Suddenly, our eyes met. He stopped.

“You.” He said and pointed at me.

“What are you doing here?” He asked.

He was angry.

But, there was something else in his eyes.

Something, I couldn't quite figure out.

It was lust. I could tell.

Travis Sinclair was staring at me with pure lust in his eyes.

I felt a tingle in my core and heat flooded through me. He was affecting me, even when he was only staring.

What the hell was wrong with me?

This wasn’t normal.

"Answer me. What are you doing here." He demanded.

Now all eyes were on me!
