Christos.I watched her reaction but if I was thinking that was enough to flatten her, then I was mistaken. Aside from being a good sales officer in the company, I will give her a mark in persistence too. Probably one of the criteria that made her a good salesperson.“Yes but I would like to have some words with you.” She persisted with a defiant gaze and I would have admired her tenacious spirit if I did not dislike her so much.I did not fail to notice the indolence in her voice as she ended her words with no form of respect in them.“I want to believe you are smart enough to know I came all the way here for a special reason, don’t you? I will advise you to make an official appointment with my secretary if you want to see me and if your reason is good enough, why not?” I finished coldly before moving away from her, knowing full well that the last thing she would do was to come to my secretary.It’s not a secret around here that she has a terrible crush on my person and the last thin
Christos.Maybe I might have walked away from her if she had reacted this way seventy eight hours ago. Even forty eight hours ago, but now, it is a different thing entirely. I hate insolence and my wolf and i hardly tolerate it but since we understand her feelings, we will make an exemption.'Not that Lightning is going to let me touch this particular woman. Not in punishment anyways." I thought to myself and his affirmatiive growl was a testament to that.'You got that right dude.' He murmured and i inwardly rolled my eyes.Not that it stops me from threatening the woman though. I might be unable to lay her across my knees for a spank but she doesn't know it. And that was fortunate as i turned my blue eyes on her presently!“If you dare use that tone once more for me or call me in that ridiculous manner I have warned you against, I promise, I will not be responsible for my action.” I threatened frostily, provoked as I took another step towards her. I did not miss the quick step she t
Christos. “You need to see a doctor, Becca, and no, don’t tell me you don’t like going to the hospital because I will not settle for it this time. I was a fool to believe you the last time.” I forestalled her from saying the words I knew were coming. “But I am at work right now.” She used the next excuse she thought would work and I found myself chuckling despite the mood I was in. “Not anymore. You are not.” I stated authoritatively. “I am not?” She finally raised her head to look at me in an askance tone. “As of now, you are closed for the day, my lady. Time for you to go home and no, you will not come back until the doctor says you are fit to resume work.” I warned in a stern voice that was meant to convey my seriousness and she rolled her eyes. “I can’t do that, Christos. The design I am working on presently is an important one and the team cannot do it all alone without my input so I…” I could not bear to listen for more, so I did the only thing I knew would shut her up. I l
Christos.“Hello Mr. Fernandez? How good to see you.” Even the matron was no help as she walked in at that moment to see us talking to the nurses.‘How good to see you indeed. It’s a bloody hospital for goodness sake.’ I rolled my eyes and I felt a slight movement beside me.Glancing down with a hint of annoyance in my gaze, I saw the alert look in my woman’s eyes and I knew she had noticed my discomfort and was taking immense pleasure in it.“Thank you, Matron, but I am sad to say it’s not a good cause that brought me around this time. One of my staff members is ill and she needs to see the doctor.” I informed her stiffly and I could feel their interest as they all turned to look at the woman beside me.It’s obvious many of them are just noticing her presence having been centred on my person.I could see the questioning glints in their eyes as they asked within themselves exactly when I became the principal in charge of my staff’s health.Since they would not understand even if I had
Christos.“It’s a pleasure to meet you, doctor.” Becca Summer murmured softly and I rolled my eyes.“Considering we are here because of your health, I don’t think there is anything pleasurable about it, Miss Summer.” I murmured enigmatically and I could see the look of identical surprise they both gave me.‘Acting like twins already. Ain’t you?’ I thought to myself in annoyance. Which annoyed the hell out of my wolf and me.‘Can you get this done already? Else I will forget he is an old friend.’ Lightning snapped and I agreed with him totally.“Shall we move to why we are here, doctor?” I reminded him pointedly and a tiny wave of embarrassment came to his cheeks. Now we are talking!“Yes, sure Mr. Fernandez. If you will come with me to the office?” He offered softly with an attempt to usher the patient ahead of him so they can walk side by side, maybe.“After you, doctor.” I offered with an innocent smile while making sure my hand did not leave my woman’s back.Seeing that I had no in
Christos. After a brief thoughtful silence, she raised her head to look at me. “That I need you to give me some space and time. Time to process all these and re-assess.” She finished with a weary sigh and I was silent for several seconds. “Time? Okay, time I can spare, but space? I don’t think that is a good idea, my lady. I will give you all the time you need to come to the realization that this thing between us is not about to go away, but don’t think I would go away to hide while you do all these thinking alone. I don’t intend to stay in the shadows.” I warned in advance and she gave me a surprised look. “I can’t think, if you are always in my space, Christos.” She pointed out. “Well, you will just have to find a way to deal with it. I won’t stay away from you but I promise not to force myself on you while you take your time to reach a decision. I can’t promise not to touch you though if you give me the green light.” I reasoned calmly with a wide grin and she rolled her eyes t
Becca.He had been so clear in his attitudes at the hospital, it had soon occurred to the interested doctor that I was not just a usual employee to the powerful Christos Fernandez but something more and I had felt so dismayed when I saw the disappointed look in his eyes. As if he had thought a girl like me wouldn't be so stupid as to fall for my boss.Of course, Christos noticed the look also and the silent hand he placed on my shoulder was another warning to the doctor to back off and just do his damn job. Sure enough, the man needed no prompting after that. Seeing that I was not available as he had earlier thought soon dispelled his interest and he focused on the job at hand.So professional he was that even when that arrogant boss of mine made it clear I would only be taking an injection under a woman’s care, he had simply nodded without a blink from him. Of course my reaction was different, I had blinked so severely at his rude behaviour, I could not hide my disbelief. Even now,
Becca.Definitely not expecting me to show up this way. Good! Better to take them unawares. That way, I will be in charge.“Wow, you finally showed up willingly, Mum. Does that mean you no longer like Uncle Christos?” My son breathed out softly in the quietness of the room and I sighed.‘Maybe not fully in charge as I thought.’ I adjusted my earlier statement, knowing with these kids of mine, anything should be expected.“I don’t understand your meaning, Son.” I pretended ignorance as I made sure to pick a chair that was a little away from the magnetic man whose presence was already causing havoc to my system.“Your kids are of the opinion that you are hiding in your room because of me. They are certain you like me but you are too shy to confront this wonderful emotion.” The kids might not pick up on the fire in those eyes as he happily revealed his discussion with my children but I did and the gasp from me was a testament to it.I could not believe his audacity. The last thing I expe
