13 Chapter 13

Paisley POV

I still don't understand why he has been cold towards me. I don't recall doing anything wrong to him.

This day keeps getting worse!

Lunch with Avery couldn't even distract me. Should I ask him?

"Hello" a voice said. I was so distracted I didn't notice the elevator dinged. Looking up I was met with a pair of beautiful blue eyes.

What's with me and blue-eyed people?

"Hello, welcome to Crosby. How may I help you" I responded trying to sound as professional as possible. Since Avery didn't call to inform me of his arrival, that means he is an important person to the company.

"Thank you" he smiled "Is Blake in?" He questioned.

Blake? They must be close if he could call his name so casually. Are they friends?

"Yes he is, do you mind telling me your name so I can announce your arrival?" His eyes remind me of the boss's. Could they be related?

"Sure. I'm Jaxon, what's yours beautiful" is he flirting with me right now

"I'll let him know" with that I picked up the phone and called his office. Jaxon chuckled

"Yes, Miss Ryan" his low voice said

"Sir, there is a Jaxon" recalling how I didn't get a surname I raised a questioning brow at him and he shrugged "here for you sir" I told him

"Send him in, and please get us some glass of Juice. An Orange glass for me and any sour drink for him" I could swear my boss was smirking right now

"OK sir" I ended the call and looked towards Jaxon.

"Go right in sir" I told him with a smile.

"Not yet princess, I haven't gotten your name" Stubborn aren't you? Well I'm more stubborn

"Well then, you can stay right here, I have a task to complete if you would excuse me" was I being rude? I hope not! Granted I am having a bad day but him trying to flirt with me right now definitely isn't what I need.

When I got back from preparing the drinks, Jaxon wasn't by my desk anymore which I was grateful for.

I knocked and waited for a response.

The sight that greeted me made me pause my step for a second. Jaxon was seated on the CEO seat while Mr. Crosby was on the sofa working on his laptop.

Why would he leave his seat for him?

"Blake, this is the beauty who refused to tell me her name" Jaxon complained. Mr. Crosby looked up at me and nodded.

Does that mean he is glad I didn't tell him my name?

Why is this day filled with a lot of questions!

"Blake! Come on you can't be the only one knowing her name" is he a kid or what.

"Here is the drink you asked for" I told him while dropping the tray on the table.

"Thank you" finally! He acknowledged me finally! I bit my lips to contain my excitement.

While I made my way out of the office, Jaxon stopped me with his statement.

"You work for the Crosby, don't you? Then I have the right to know your name" the arrogance! Before I could respond Mr. Crosby's voice was heard. Low and angry

"Jaxon, mind that tone" he warned

"But Blake, I just want to know her name" was that a pout. I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped from me.

"I'm sorry" I apologized immediately. Mr. Crosby although looked as if he were concentrated on his work was actually smiling! yes smiling!

"Oh no pretty, beautiful ladies like yourself aren't meant to apologize" what is he, a serial flirt! 

"I wasn't apologizing to you" although he has been flirty since we met, I can't help but find him amusing. He pouted and stomped his foot.

Where is the babysitter!

I left the two and went back to my office.

Blake's POV

I have been trying to hold in my laugh for a while now and it was becoming hard. Thankfully Miss Ryan excused herself already.

The moment the door closed I couldn't help but laugh out loud. This 23years old guy is trying to act cute.

"Don't you dare laugh, tell me her name please" he begged while I sipped my drink.

"Blake please" he walked over and picked up his glass. I smirked

"What's with the smirk?" Talking a little sip out of his drink, he let out profanities.

I roared out laughing

"This thing is sour! I refuse to believe that beautiful PA outside would do this to me. Why Blake! I thought you loved me?" Oh I do

"Well, that is your punishment for last time" he went clubbing and made a mess. I had to go cleaning up after him before the media gets a wind of it.

"Fine, I'll take the punishment" he gulped the drink down. The look on his face made me cringe!

"What the hell man, stop it" I scolded. Been a big brother is a tough work

"Well am I forgiven now?" I wasn't really mad at him, I just needed him to know he did wrong.

"Yes, you are" I told him "do you need my drink or should I send for a glass of water?" I asked concerned

"Water please" he answered. I called Miss Ryan for a glass

"So she is Miss Ryan, Ryan what though?" I know he is my brother but him flirting with her in my presence doesn't sit well with me. I don't want him flirting with her in my absence either.

"Stop with the flirt Jax" I warned him

"Oh! Is someone making a claim right now" and before I could deny it she walked in. Jax rushed forward to collect the glass which he gulped down hastily.

"Thank you Miss Ryan" Jax smirked while miss Ryan surprised gaze landed on me.

I wanted to explain, to let her know I didn't tell him but Jax would tease me and tell the rest about it. Well, that would be a nightmare!

"You're welcome" she responded and left.

"Well look at that bro, your glare would soon shrink me" the asshole is still making a joke.

"Get out Jax, I got work to do" I literally kicked him out of my office.

Is she disappointed?

Paisleys POV

"Miss Ryan" Jaxon called

"Yes" I responded

"Well uhm, he didn't tell me OK. I found out when he called you to ask for a glass of water. My brother can be pretty tight-lipped" he explained.

I knew they were related. No wonder he tried threatening me to know my name.

"It's not a big deal. You finding out my name wouldn't be a big deal for you" considering he is the CEO brother, he could just ask the human resource

"I would prefer hearing it from you though" he said. Maybe it was the sincerity in his eyes that touched me or the fact that I felt guilty for being cold towards him. I smiled and stretched out my hand

"Paisley, Paisley Ryan is the name"I told him with a smile

"Jaxon Crosby at your service gorgeous, that is if we can be friends" even though I laughed at his flirty tone I felt happy.

Having a good-looking guy who compliments you in every sentence he makes would make anyone feel happy.

"Well, I won't mind having you as one" I told him smiling.

We exchanged contacts before he left. He surely brightened up my day.
