Like a princess

---SASHA---

Once I left the meeting room, I prepared to run away as fast as I could, still wearing my slippers, but as I tried to do so, I sprained my foot. The documents I had in my hands spilt all over the floor. I leaned against the wall to avoid falling. When I was about to put them together, a voice stopped me.

-Don't move! I'll pick them up. - Louis said hurriedly, picking up each document from the floor. Then he turned to look me in the eyes, a few seconds passed, and he looked worriedly at my ankle. He handed me the documents, and I waited for him to get to his feet, but he continued squatting, reached over, took my foot carefully and checked it.

- Does it hurt? - I shook my head, and Louis started to move my foot. I let out a small whimper, and he stopped. - Let's go to my office. I need the company doctor to check you.

-It's not necessary. In a few minutes, I'll be better. - I said, trying to walk, but a cramp invaded my leg. When Louis saw that I grimaced in pain, he stood up, and with a worried face, he approached me.

- Are you ok? What happened? - He said as he moved his arms, trying to get closer but stopped.

-I have a cramp in my foot. - I pointed to my leg and tried to rub it, but if I moved away from the wall, I would lose my balance. He let out a sigh of relief, and his worried face disappeared into a faint smile.

-Let me help you. - Louis squatted down again, but when he saw my legs, he blushed. I remembered that I was wearing a dress, and it would be so strange for him to give me a message in the middle of a corridor of his company. He quickly sat up, I was about to tell him not to worry, that it would happen after a while, but he took off his jacket and tied it around my hips.

- Why - I didn't finish saying the sentence when I felt him pick me up from the floor. I froze for a few seconds watching him carry me in his arms like a princess. My face began to blush as his employees witnessed such a scene and were astonished watching us. Thinking what his employees might say, I looked at him worried.

-It's Ok! I can walk, just let me sit down, and it will be over in a moment. - He gave me a threatening look, and I kept quiet. I didn't want to cause any more trouble.

-Call Dr Jonathan. - Hearing that, the staff understood the situation and ran to get him.

-Mr. Louis, you don't need to call someone.-

-I'm not that old, tell me, Louis. Besides, I'm not going to let you go. - My heart began to pound as I heard the last sentence. As I was not in my right mind, I chose not to speak anymore. I had to avoid saying anything inappropriate.

He kept walking until we came to a door, which he opened without a problem and entered a giant office. The decoration was simple, but it looked elegant and sophisticated. I guessed it belonged to him when I saw a picture on the wall where he and his brother were.

He led me to a couch and carefully set me down on it. He walked to a door inside the office and disappeared. I sat there massaging my leg, waiting for him to come back. When I tried to stretch my leg, the cramp got stronger. I couldn't help but scream. Immediately he returned with a small blanket and knelt in front of me to cover my legs.

-Don't move! The pain will get more intense. - He unbuttoned the buttons of his shirt sleeves and rolled them up.

-I give you a massage, and the pain will go away. - He placed his hands on my leg and began to massage it carefully. I couldn't help but look at him in surprise. He didn't seem to be the kind of man who helps or cares for others. Listening to him coldly talk to his employees, I thought he didn't like being around others. I knew he wasn't bad or anything. He was strange, but for some reason, I felt comfortable being around him. I wanted to get to know him more.

-Stop looking at me like that. - Louis said as he kept massaging my leg.

-I didn't do it. - I tried to find an excuse and deny it, but my mind went blank. My face reddened, and I looked down at the desk to hide my embarrassment.

- Are you better? - He looked at me with a big smile. I kept looking away and just made a sound to say yes.

-Don't ignore me! Is this how you repay the one who helped you? - Hearing this, I quickly looked him in the eyes and shook my head.

-No, it's not that. It's just that you make me nervous. - When I saw Louis's eyes filled with surprise, and I tried to fix what I had said. -It's just that you and I met not long ago, and we only met twice. Today I saw you again, and I found out who you were, and you're practically my boss, so I don't know how to treat you. - I tried to speak in a calm way to avoid getting more nervous than I already was.

- So you don't know how to treat me. - Louis said as he tried to get up, but I noticed that his legs had gone numb. I took his hands and helped him to sit up.

I kept looking to see if he was feeling better, but Louis could only see our hands still clasped together. We both reacted and let go of each other as we settled in our places.

-Treat me as someone close to you, but not as a friend or an acquaintance. - His words were confusing, and I looked at him to explain.

Just as he was about to explain what he meant, the office door opened. A beautiful young woman with brown hair walked in. Louis saw her and got up quickly, and walked towards her.

-I missed you so much, Louis! - She said as she rushed up to him to hug his neck and spread kisses all over his face. As I watched the scene, I felt a little strange. It made sense that he would have someone by his side.
