It is the 15th time when I looked at my reflection in the mirror and sighed, "I think this is showing too much of my curves."
"Girls die for curves, Sis." Luke commented leaning against the doorframe. "It's hard to believe that you're still virgin."
"And single." I added. Sighing I turned around and looked at my ass. Suddenly an idea popped up in my head.
It's a social event and most of the businessmen are gathering with their secretary. That means Ryder will be there too. Best opportunity to arouse him and then kick his balls?
I let out a wicked laugh imagining him grabbing his balls and crying out loud in the party.
I'm gonna kick him hard that his next seven generations will feel the pain.
"Can you please stop this 'Cause You're scaring me."
"Shut up." I rolled my eyes at him and smoothed my dress. The dress was trumpet shaped perfectly fitted on my curves with red sequins, sleeveless with spaghetti straps. I'd waved my brown hair and painted my lips red. "Aren't you going late?"
"I'll go after you." A corner of his mouth curled up when I raised my brow at him.
"Overprotective asshole." I mumbled that made him chuckle. In the meantime, my phone rang and I picked it up.
"He-"
"I'm waiting Ms. Sanders." A familiar deep voice Came from other side.
How he got my address?
"On my way, Sir." I grabbed my clutch and walked out of my room, while Luke followed me to the exit.
"Enjoy the night, Sissy."
I heard Luke's voice behind me when I reached to elevator.
"Definitely!" I yelled back.
As I walked out of the building, I saw Mr. Vincenzo leaning against his Car, his hands were in pocket. He was looking like a handsome devil in a black armani suit. His jet black hair perfectly jelled.
He glanced down at his watch, and then he looked up and immediately his eyes widened.
His eyes moved from my head to toe before coming back to my face. At the same moment, I felt a shiver ran down my spine.
"Wow." He said huskily walking behind me. I shuddered as I felt his warm breath fanning over my neck. "Why haven't I noticed there's a sexy secretary just a call away from my office?"
"Maybe she's been busy in cleaning up his boss' mess." I turned around to face him and said bluntly, "How you got my address, Sir."
I know the cheap tricks of this devil, afterall I've been working for him since two years. His sexy voice and smirk are his major weapons that makes women fall on their knees. While I got immunity against him so I'm not gonna fall into his trap.
My breathe hitched as I felt his hand grazed my waist, and leaning forward until his lips brushing my ear, he whispered, "I'm your boss, Ms. Sanders."
What the hell is wrong with my immunity?
Shower. Shower. I need a cool shower.
I heard a sound of opening the door behind me. Mr. Vincenzo stepped back and gestured me to get in.
I slipped onto the passenger seat while Mr. Vincenzo onto the driver seat.
During the drive there were some moments when I felt his eyes on me.
I wanted to arouse Ryder, not him. Alright my knees, be ready 'Cause I've a feeling that tonight you're gonna being used more than one time.
~*~*~
"Leonardo, My boy!" Mr. Hans who's our company's most respected client beamed as we entered. He's an old man and treats Mr. Vincenzo as his son, and Mr. Vincenzo also reflects the same feeling.
"Jane! It's good to see you after so long time." He took my hand and planted a soft kiss on my knuckles. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you, Mr. Hans. It's good to see you too."
"Leo!" And then Came an awkward moment when Mrs. Hans wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek, "Long time no see."
Mr. Vincenzo grabbed her arms and removed from his neck. "I've been busy." He said, his jaw clenched.
Mrs. Hans smirked and stepped back. Wrapping her arm around her father like husband's, she smirked, "You must make some time for your loved ones too. Don't you think, honey?"
Mr. Hans laughed, "Obviously."
From the corner of my eyes I saw Mr. Vincenzo didn't like what she said as his jaw clenched and hands turned into fist.
I really hate this woman with bottom of my heart. Unfortunately She's Mr. Hans' second wife which is at same age as mine and also Mr. Vincenzo's ex.
Plus a gold digger too.
Talented woman with fake boobs.
"See you later." Mr. Hans chimed, "Enjoy the night." Mrs. Erica Hans gave me a disgusted look when she left with her husband.
I smiled and looked at my boss, "So what do we do?"
"Enjoy." He shrugged and about to leave me but I grabbed his arm.
"Wait." I said, while his eyes darted to the arm where I touched him. Pulling out a tissue from my clutch, I wiped the lipstick mark off of his cheek. "She did it on purpose."
"I know." He admitted, "She should be realised that whatever we had was wrong."
I nodded agreeing from the fact that Erica had been in an extra marriage affair with Mr. Vincenzo For a year, but he broke up when he felt a burden of guilt over him. On the other hand, Erica haven't realised it yet.
In the meantime, my eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar man who was dancing with a woman. When he turned around I recognised the bastard. He looked at me and smirked. But in the next moment, his smirk disappeared as Mr. Vincenzo snaked his arm around my waist and whispered huskily into my ear, "Care to dance?"
I looked up and nodded.
We walked onto the dance floor when the next song started.
Meanwhile between dance, I stole a couple of glances at Ryder and realised that he wasn't affected by the fact I was dancing with my boss.
Damn it. Why the bastard isn't jealous?
"He will." I looked up and saw a pair of ocean blue orbs directly staring me. "He'll be jealous when he sees us getting even more close."
What does he mean? Why'd we get more closer than this? And hell, how does he know that I want to see my ex-boyfriend getting jealous?
Narrowing my eyes, I quizzed, "What?"
"I know what you want Jane and I can help you." He replied pulling me closer to him so our lips almost touching, and damn the way my name rolled on his tongue caused me feeling butterflies in my stomach. "Is he watching?"
My breathe was almost heavy and heart racing so fast against my chest feeling the closeness of him. As he said I glanced behind him and saw that Ryder's eyes were on us.
I felt good watching that bastard getting Jealous.
"Act like we're in love and watch him falling on his knees."
My eyes widened on his words almost about to pop out of the socket.
Does he want me to pretend that I'm his girlfriend?
I can't do this. Not with him. It must be one of his tricks so he'd get me into his bed.
"I'm sorry."
He furrowed, "For What?"
I pursed my lips and said, "Not being what you want."
His brows raised as if he was amused. "I know it's your trick so you could get me into your bed , but I'm not one of your chicks so please drop it."
A corner of his mouth quirked up as he said huskily, "Brunette Bombshell."
What the fuck is wrong with my stomach today? Why am I feeling like something fluttering in my stomach?
"The offer is valid till next two days." His voice was deep as he leaned forward, his warm breath nibbling my ear, "Think about it."
At the same time, I couldn't say anything. Not even a single word because my mouth went dry.
But I was sure that the thing he wanted was not gonna happen. Not even in my wildest dreams.
It wasn't a hidden truth that watching Ryder being jealous felt good. It was the same feeling when I eat my favourite pudding. But pretend like Leonardo's girlfriend for this was the last thing I ever wanted.
