Chapter 44 LOSING HIS MIND

• I lowered my eyes and stayed in his arms quietly, “Good… Morning… sir” Miss Felicia sputtered, it was obvious that she was stunned to see the CEO carrying a mere assistant. I'm sure by now, she would believe the rumor that had been maneuvering around the company since morning. “I'm taking the day off, Felicia. Relate this to Mack and make sure you do your best in London” He says, without ceasing his steps to spare Felicia a glance. When he didn't hear her say anything to what he had just said, he retreated his pace then turned back, “Do you understand?” He asked, with a composed look. The more I looked at his face, the more my heart raced. “Yes sir, I understand” She gabbled. I just smiled, burying my face onto his broad chest.
• He trotted toward the lift, he was still carrying me like I weighed nothing. Jeez, I'll start to eat up a lot now. Seeing him carrying me like this as if I'm a piece of paper, it's quite embarrassing. As soon as I realized we were inside the lift, “Put me down now, come on” I urged him, he looked down into my eyes and said, “You have to get used to this” I was suddenly rendered speechless as I stared at his divine face. “This is an office, Alexander, what do you want people to start mumbling?” I asked him, taking a good look at his face at our close distance. But his face gradually darkened, his cold lips forming into a straight line. I was startled by the coldness in his eyes as I stiffened in his arms, without any gut to squirm. Have I said wrong? “What did you just say?” He asked in an extremely low voice, I gulped down nothing then answered, “I said, what do you want people to start mumbling about?” I said in a timid voice, clenching my dress in my hand and avoiding his eyes.
• “Didn't you just call me Alexander? Where's the sir? Are you trying to let aside the formality just because I'm holding you up in my arms?” He shot a series of questions in a row, sounding so serious. Oh, he doesn't want me to address him by his name? I thought he said he wants us to be together now, would I still have to address him as my boss? I thought in my mind but dared not to utter a single word. “I'm so sorry, sir,” I said meekly, still not daring to peek at his face. He suddenly burst into contagious laughter, but all I did was watch his face in complete awe. He looks cuter when he laughs. “I was just kidding babe, but you were already taking me so seriously” He clarifies, there was still a faded smile on his face. I twitched my lips, not liking to roll my eyeballs at that moment. How can he be joking but had such a severe look on his face? I remained in silence in his arms, hoping the elevator would stop soon.
