Chapter 8

*Charlotte Britts*

It's a Monday morning, going to work and meeting Reed was gonna be different I guess, I got to see him smile at me and take me to get food, took me to a party and held my waist and hands.

I felt like I saw a different side of him and it was sweet, through out the weekend I couldn't stop thinking about how he was staring at me with amusement in his face while I was devouring pizza.

To an extent, I was no longer afraid of him.

****

I was wrong,

I'm still afraid of him.

Getting out of my car, I saw him firing someone at the entrance of the company. It means two things.

* i am extremely late.

* And he was furious which means I could get fired.

Maybe I could tiptoe past him without him seeing me, yes that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

I slowly followed the other side and walked quietly but quickly to the elevator, just as I was about to push the button.

"Morning Britts!"

Oh shit oh shit oh shit!!

This is it, I'm done, it's over for me. I slowly turn around and meet the angry eyes of Reed Baker and mehn they are scary.

"Good morning Mr.Baker" I fake a smile.

"Move" He said calmly as he approached me and we both entered into the elevator. My heart was beating faster than it did when I came for the interview.

I was standing at the other side of the elevator as far as I could away from him. He started approaching me, my heart was beating faster and faster. He was now less than inch away from me.

"Why does it seem like you are trying my patience Charlotte?" He whispered into my ear and the chills ran through my body. I don't think I have ever be scared. He was fucking whispering!

"I'm sorry Mr Baker"

"Now tell me Charlotte, does sorry cut it?" He was still whispering, he looked at me straight in the eyes. I looked down, I couldn't look him in the eyes, it brought shivers down my spine and it's not the good type of shivers.

"Look at me Charlotte" he used his finger to bring up my face.

Oh Jesus, I was terrified, can we get out of this elevator already? I was loosing my sanity, I'm gonna shed tears soon, they weren't far from my eyes.

" you didn't answer my question Charlotte, don't keep me waiting, does sorry cut it?" He was removing the strand of hair covering my eyes.

His finger touching my face was sending more and more shivers down my spine. You wouldn't even guess what happened.

Seriously you wouldn't.

And as an idiot than I am, I did what? I started crying. From no absolutely where, I fucking started crying!!!

I guess he was surprised or maybe amused or shocked, I couldn't place it, he stepped back a little and was staring at me. The elevator opened and I ran right out.

"To my office Ms. Britts" He said calmly while walking majestically to his office.

I got a tissue from my bag and wiped my face, I cry when I get really tensed and scared, I couldn't help it.

That was bad timing to cry but at the same time it was so tensed in there.

When I opened the door to his office, he was sitting on his table directly opposite to the chairs visitors were supposed to sit.

I stood right at the door.

"Come" He said, he wasn't smiling, he wasn't looking angry too.

I slowly walked further and stopped inches away from him.

"Did I make you cry?" He asked calmly.

"I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to, I cry when I get really tensed and scared" CC

" so I scare you?" He smiled slightly.

"Pretty much" I mumbled, looking down.

" I should have gotten your ass fired long ago but I just can't, I like seeing you around. But do not try my patience Charlotte, you can never be sure the things I'm capable of doing,..." He was very close to me now, he raised a finger and cleaned a tiny tear just at my eyelids.

"I don't want to bring tears to this beautiful eyes of yours again"

Little did I know that he was gonna be bringing plenty of tears to my eyes and this was just the beginning!

Till next time lovelies💕
