Threats

      The first thing Leo thought was that he had been captured by the men running after him the previous night. But then he faintly remembered escaping last night. So what happened? Where was he? He looked round the room. He was currently on a King sized bed. It looked like he was in a hotel room. There was a vanity table next to the bed and it's content led him to believe that the occupant was a woman. There was a make up set on the table, some hairbrushes and fragrance. But why would he be in a woman's hotel room? Then it hit him; he was kissing someone last night! He remembered running towards a club's back door entrance and seeing a woman standing there. She had clear blur eyes and looked so much like the lady he had seen at the park earlier that day. In a bid to escape from his pursuers he had grabbed her and kissed her. He also remembered she seemed really angry and had slapped just before he passed out. So was that where he was now? That woman's hotel room? But why would she bring him here? Only one way to find out he thought. He slowly got up from the bed but felt some pain in his lower abdomen. He then realized that he had been stabbed the previous night. He looked down on the wound and was surprised to find it patched up. Although it was a sloppy patch job, it had served it's purpose well.

He walked out of the room and into the living room slowly using the walls to aid himseld as he went. There was no one in the living room. He looked around the living room and everything was neatly arranged. There were some files laid out neatly on the table. He looked towards the mini kitchen area and no one was there. But the kettle looked like it had just been used which meant the owner of the hotel room was still inside. He walked towards the hotel room and there he saw her. The woman he hadn't been able to stop thinking about ever since he saw her at the park. Although this time she looked bit different. She was in a pair of black pants and white T shirt. She was emitting a very intense aura. As well as opposed to the youthfulness he had seen in her at the park now she looked cold and ruthless. But she was still very beautiful

She looked like she was in a conference call as she had a laptop before her and some files next to her. She was talking to the people on the other end while looking at some of the files. At some point she stopped to sip her coffee and the sight left Leo dazed as he just stood there and watched her. Cassie raised her head and saw the stranger from last night standing in the living room staring at her and she couldn't help but gulp. He currently had no shirt on. And she could clearly see those well developed muscles and tanned body. He looked so handsome and mesmerizing. "He was indeed an eye candy", she thought unconsciously. 

"Uhm President", one of her employees called out to her when they noticed she wasn't paying attention. Cassie immediately realized what she was doing and cleared her throat before turning her attention back to the meeting. 

"So have the marketing team update the report and e mail it to me in the next 24 hours and we shall continue this meeting tomorrow", she said. "Good day", she continued before she shut down her computer. She looked back into the living room and saw that the stranger was still standing there staring at her. "Was he a pervert?", she thought. She grabbed her laptop, her files and her coffee and walked into the living room.

"You're awake?", she asked him as she walked past him to drop her files and laptop on the table.

Leo watched her as she confidently strut passed him as if he didn't have any influence on her and this made him all the more intrigued. "Yes I am", he replied her as he saw her walking towards the kitchen area like she was barely listening to him. He follower her and added "Thanks for helping me yesterday and I'm sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused but I can't help but wonder why you brought me here", Leo decided to play it nice as he didn't know this woman and she didn't seem to know who he was either.

Cassie put down her coffee and looked up at the stranger who was currently standing there, looking at her waiting for her reply. And if she was to be honest she didn't know how to answer him because she herself didn't know why she had helped him. She had asked herself this question all through the night while she had been tending to him and stayed by his side all through the night and she still couldn't find the answer. All she knew was that there was something about this man that drew her to him. But she wasn't about to tell him that. She the great Cassandra Turner wasn't about admit to this stranger whom she knew nothing about that she was uncontrollably drawn to him. So she just looked at him with an expressionless face and walked past him. She sat down on the couch, crossed her leg and took a sip of her fresh coffee before she looked up at him.

"You took advantage of me last night", she replied coldly. Leo was stunned what did she mean take advantage he thought. Was she talking about the kiss. He looked at her it was just a simple kiss so why was she making it sound like he had violated her or something. Although seeing how she looked now he wouldn't mind. And also what was up with that attitude. No one had ever treated him like this before. And although it angered him a little bit it also made him all the more curious of this woman.

"It was just a kiss why are you making it sound like such a big deal. And besides I have already apologized", he replied as he went to seat on one of the couched opposite her since he figured she wasn't probably going to offer him a seat.

Cassie looked at him intently before slowly standing up and walking towards the balcony she continued in a slow and cold voice.

"It was only a kiss? Why am I making such a big deal? You already apologized?", she turned to look at him then she continued 

"I'm sorry but do you know what the punishment for sexual harassment is?" Leo was more than stunned this time. 

"What was she talking about?", he thought.

"What do you think would happen if I go to the police right now and told them you sexually harassed me?", Cassie asked in a low voice. Leo had had enough at this point. He immediately stood up and walked up to her. With a cold expression on his face. He looked deeply into her eyes and asked 

"Are you threatening me?"
