Chapter 10

Melody walked out of the meeting room along with Damian. She was not happy that she had prepared a speech but had no chance of delivering it. If Damian had given the people a chance to ask questions that she was sure they had maybe she would have been able to deliver her speech and introduce herself the way she would have liked.

She walked with him back into his office. He entered and she followed only to see him turn around and stare at her. Her heart began racing inside her rib cage like crazy. She suddenly felt touching that handsome face of his to know how it would under her touch. Or better yet, he should touch her and hug her tight so she could feel his firm muscles that were hidden behind the suit.

When she realized what she was thinking, she scolded herself, 'Since when did you become this perverted Melody? Get yourself under control. Why can she not get a hold of her body and thoughts when he was near, she wondered.

She was brought back to reality when she heard him talking to her. Her eyes looked towards his moving lips and she wondered if they were as soft as they looked. She trance off again and failed to hear what he was saying before she could realize it, he was done talking.

She inwardly bang her head with her fist at how stupid she was acting before a man. She was acting like a teenage girl in love.

"What were you thinking?" Damian asked again.

"Huh? What did you say?" she asked looking confused.

Damian turned away from her and headed to his desk with a smile. He has seen the way she was looking at him and felt content inwardly. If his body can get her that easily without him even trying then what will happen when he does? He thought and decided to give it a try.

He took his seat behind the desk raised his head and looked at her maintaining eye contact. He took off his jacket and hung, then took off his tie and opened a few buttons on his shirt leaving a slightly bare chest for her eyes to feast on. He took his time and did everything with no rush.

He watch as she stared at him, her eyes following the movements of his fingers. Finally, he rolled up his sleeves and placed an elbow on the desk with his chin on his knuckles and a smirk on his lips, he looked at her teasingly.

Meanwhile, Melody had no words to describe him at the moment, her eyes kept on following the movement of his fingers even if she wanted to stop doing it. Everything that he did appear in slow motion to Melody. She wanted to walk away from there to maintain her sanity but her body refused her. Her legs stayed rooted to the ground.

When she saw his open chest she could not stop staring. The room suddenly became hot, a little too hot for her comfort. She felt like touching that chest of his that looked so inviting in her eyes.

Then her eyes drifted to his face and she saw the smirk playing on his lips, she instantly got infuriated. Was he intentionally seducing her?

"You...." she was about to talk when she saw him raise an amused brow and she lost it. She got so furious that she turned around and stumped towards the door and pulled it open as if she wanted to rip it from its hinges.

When she stepped out, she met Ezekiel and Lloyd right in front of the door. She looked at them and slammed the door shut as if attempting to break it. They took a step away from her seeing her that way.

She resumed her steps and they watched her go. They turned to face each other and then at the door, she just slammed wordlessly.

They pushed open the door thinking to find an angry Damian but got shocked at the serenity of the office like the raging Melody they saw was just in their imagination.

Taking their steps in, they approached Damian and sat across him, and looked at the nonchalant expression on his face.

"What did you do that made her so mad?" Ezekiel asked, Not liking his friend's attitude toward the situation.

"Was she mad?" Damian deadpanned.

"Are you serious man? She was about to break down the door". Lloyd yelled.

Damian raised his head and looked at them. "Are you sure, because I didn't hear anything? He said in a carefree manner.

" Fine. Tell us what made her mad". Ezekiel inquired of him.

"She couldn't take the heat". Damian blankly replied.

Lloyd had his mouth hung low at his response while Ezekiel just shook his head. They could not tell what was wrong with Damian.

Did he think at all before doing whatever he did if so, then that was a very foolish decision he made.

"What do you mean by she couldn't take the heat?" Lloyd asked

"What do you think I mean?" asked Damian with a smirk.

They looked at him in disbelief. "Why would you do that?" Lloyd asked almost yelling.

"She did not complain or did she?" he asked rendering them speechless.

Sighing out loud Ezekiel decided to change the topic. "Alright. Fine, let's not talk about your love life anymore. Now, what do you want us to do?"

"Go to Melody's office and ask her for the documents she was supposed to bring for me". He instructed.

"She is your secretary, why should we be doing that for you?" Ezekiel asked.

"Because it looks like she won't be coming here anytime soon and I need it".he replied.

"She is your Secretary". Ezekiel defended.

"Yes, and also your future lady boss so, go and get it". Damian ordered.

Grudgingly Ezekiel woke from his seat and headed out of the office.

On the other side, When Melody arrived at her office, she took a seat and began banging her head on the desk several times while scolding herself. She soon heard a knock on her door and raised her head from the desk, adjusting her clothes properly before saying, "Come in".

When the door opened she saw Ezekiel walk in. "Director Asher!" she greeted standing to her feet. "I am sorry for earlier". She apologized.

"It is fine Miss Nova, our president is a pain in the ass". He said and Melody smiled.

"Why are you here, director?" Melody asked.

" I am here to get a document from you, he said he needs it". Ezekiel answered.

"Oh.... Right, let me get it for you". She said before retrieving a file and handing it to him and he left immediately. Getting back to Damian's office he let the file down on the work desk and turned to leave.

"Have somewhere to be?" Damian asked flipping through the pages of the file Ezekiel just dropped.

"Yes". Was his curt reply. "Where?" Damian asked again. "Anywhere that I am not your errand boy". Ezekiel replied and took some hurried steps out.
