Chapter 9 - Rewarded.

Today i woke up nervous as hell.

After finishing my shower routine, I did a light but professional make up look. My neck still had hickeys visible on them, so i applied concealer on them, a small blush appeared on my cheeks as i recalled what happened in his office. 

Styling my hair in high pony, i added dainty earrings for finishing touch. The dress I wore was a soft lavender shade dress. It was long-sleeved, hugging my curves perfectly. it was comfortable yet the structured fabric contoured to my body, that made a flattering look that was both modest and confident. It had a plunge neckline and was padded so i didn't wear a bra underneath.

After spraying my favourite perfume, I slipped on my black heels. I smiled at my reflection as i glanced at my mirror.

I grabbed my phone and my purse and quickly headed out to my car. I hated being late.

Having reached the entrance of the towering steel-and-glass edifice, I walked through the lobby heading straight to the elevator. I pressed the button, then the elevator opened with some people already in. I nodded slighly and got in as pressed i my floor number.

I looked down to see the time: 8: 48. Great. Normally, I would have arrived earlier, but I was already adjusting to the schedule change Ethan had implemented, which required all workers to start promptly at 9:00 a.m. A change from the earlier 8am, which was a good one.

The elevator door opened to the last floor and i stepped out, walking past the lobby to my desk adjacent to Ethan's door. Few minutes after i settled down on my seat. The door opened. I looked up and my breath itched. Ethan was leaning against the doorframe, smirking at me as his eyes scanned me with intensity. He bit his lower lip before waving me in.

I gulped hard as i hid my blush. I nodded before walking to his office, the smell of his cologne drifting my nose as i walked past him.

He shut the door and immediately slammed my body against the door by grabbing my wrists. He smashed his lips into mine. Butterflies were having a festival in my stomach. I grabbed his face and kissed him back with passion matching his pace.

What a wild way to start the morning.

"Good morning princess" he whispered, leaning his forehead on mine.

My face was flushed "Morning" i mummered, looking up to him.

"You look beautiful....." he said as took me in with his dark eyes. I felt bare under his gaze.

He looked sexy in his outfit, it was doing things to me.

He placed his hand on my hips, pulling me in, i almost stumbled on him. I placed my hands on toned chest to my stop myself. There were tons of sexual tension circulating in the room like the last time i was in his office, making me slowly clench my legs together.

"You did a good job hiding those hickeys" he teased. "But i know the exact spot were i placed them."

"W-we should get to work." i mummered nervously, subconciously biting my lip as my eyes travelled from his eyes to his chest.

"Bite your lips like that again and i won't mind bending you over on this desk and fuck you....hard." he warned making me heat up as i looked back at his hungry eyes.

"Okay" i responded slowly.

"Now let's get back to work. he eyed as he walked over to his desk."

"Sure. What can i do for you?"i said as i managed to a get grip of myself. My waist was still tingling where he had held it.

I would be lying if i said butterflies weren't still having festival in my stomach. He was so straight forward and blunt, supporting his confident aura and it was a turn on. I knew from the moment we started this, there was no going back. Especially not with someone like him. He made me nervous and confident at the same time. I wanted to see the difference between the home Ethan and office Ethan. Although he already showed a bit of it when we were off the clock.

He gathered some papers from his desk and handed them to me. "Help me double check these documents and make sure they match with the market report. We need verified printables to be able to convince our potential clients confidently." To be honest, Ever since Ethan became the CEO, the company had undergone a successful change in the buisness world. We were now among the elites company in milan. Deals upon deals kept coming in during the past weeks. Although we had ups and downs, the wins were enough to keep our head up.

"okay sir." I said, understanding the work i needed to get done.

I turned around, and i could feel his eyes burning daggers through me as i walked out.

................................................

After hours of work, it was finally lunch time. I was really famished.

I did the necessary lunch bookings for Ethan and headed for the cafeteria. As usual, Nathy and Collins were at the usual spots. I loved them. Aside work, these two were something to deal with. I always enjoyed their company, a good way to take my mind off things.

We were eating our meals in comfortably until Nathy broke the silence. "So how are things going so far?" Nathy said cockily as she stared at me. I hadn't told Nathy about the office incident yet. 

"Everything's going well, so you have to be more...specific." I replied as i took a sip of my fruit drink.

"ohh please, don't pretend you don't know what i'm talking about." she smiled mischiveously.

Collins was staring me too he was patiently waiting for my words to drop."C'mon girl spill." rolling his eyes.

After a moment of debating i decided to tell them. There was no use of hiding it from them anyways cause they would still find out eitherway and besides they were the only two people i was close with.

"I knew it!" Nathy exclaimed as i finished narrating my ordeal. She drawed the attention of peple sitting nearby.Quickly, she gave them an apologetic look.

"Jeez get a grip." Collins scolded Nathy. 

"I know something was going on between you too already but recently he always stares at you, smiles often and even leaves his office door open to watch you work, It all makes sense now." Nathy said smiling mischeviously.

I hit her shoulders. "He doesn't!" 

"Girl you can be so oblivious sometimes." Nathy snorted. 

"Ohh please, don't even make me start talking about the way he looked at me like he wanted to snap my neck off that minute the last time i stopped at your desk." Collins added. 

I chuckled, remembering the scene. "You scurried away so fast. I haven't seen you around since then".

"Well that's because i still value my job." Collins replied.

Lunch time was over so we went back to our respective floors to get through the rest of the day.
