chapter 12

Isabella's POV

I was there lost, staring at this beautiful sight before me.

Irrespective of the scars on his body, he is no doubt a fine man.

He has a broad chest and chiselled abs and I must say this is the first time I'm taking a good look at him.

His face was well contoured, with well-groomed beards, and a light chocolate skin tone. He is divine.

There's absolutely no doubt that God took extra time to create this wonderful masterpiece.

I said what are you doing here and how did you even get in?

I came back to life from the unholy thoughts I was having as I heard him speak to me.

Uhm… the door was not locked and, I only turned the door knob and it opened so I entered.

I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were in here, I didn't hear a sound when I came in to clean so I believed no one was in.

I was so ashamed of myself to even look at him.

I knew he saw me drooling over his body.

I said all this in a hurry as I was trying to pack up and leave the room.

Nate's POV

I was startled when I came out of the bathroom and I met someone in my room.

Isabella, it was Isabella.

How did she get in here?

She was looking at me so much, I could see her eyes roaming all over my body.

I asked her how she got in but she didn't say anything, she was lost.

I had to speak up again, louder this time to make sure she heard.

What are you doing here and how did you get in?

She was so ashamed to look at my face, she knew I saw her drooling over my body.

She hurriedly spoke up and packed her cleaning things to leave.

As she was about to leave, I moved towards her, closing the gap between us, my eyes never leaving her, watching her closely.

She moved backwards as I came close until she hit a dead end, the wall.

I made sure I was close enough to her for her to feel my presence and for her to perceive me.

We awkwardly stared at each other, before I moved my hand to her side. I felt how shocked she was and her body stiffened under my touch.

Do you want me Isabella?

I saw you looking all over my body.

I can see you want me so much but you're holding back.

Say something.

Tell me what you want and I will make sure to do that for you if it's in my power.

I…ehnmm…I don't want anything from you.

I just want to leave this place.

Leave?

Why?

Are you scared that you might bite more than you can chew?

I'm not scared, I just feel vulnerable and I don't want to be taken advantage of, she said.

She wiggled herself out of my hands and ran out of the room.

Taken aback, I wondered why I do things I wouldn't normally do anytime I see Isabella.

Isabella is becoming a turn on the flesh.

I should stay away from her for some time while I decipher what all this feeling is.

I went to the door and looked around. I dressed up for work.

I needed to tell Damien to set a meeting with Mike Lewis as soon as he got hold of his contact.

We don't have time to waste.

I stepped out of my room and headed downstairs,

My eyes are on the lookout for Isabella, I need to avoid her as much as possible.

Thank Goodness, she's nowhere in sight.

I had to skip breakfast.

I need to get to work in time and also it's an opportunity not to see Isabella.

I met Andrew outside the house, he was ready with the car to drive me to work.

Good morning boss, he greeted

Morning Andrew, have you seen Damien?

Yes, I saw him earlier.

I asked me to let you know his friend, Ten, called him to meet up.

I think it's for the contact we asked for.

Okay, that's good.

Let's go to work then.

We left for work.

I got to work in about twenty minutes.

I met my secretary in my office.

Good morning, sir, I came to drop off the paperwork for the ongoing construction.

Also, the client said you need to meet up with him at the site by 2 pm.

She said and I told her she could leave.

In no time after I had settled down, I got a call from Damien.

He told me his friend was able to get Mike's contact.

I was happy to hear that, I then told him to meet me at the office so we could give him a call.

We tried the contact number we got when Damien arrived.

It entered voicemail after several attempts.

So I decided to drop a message to let him know.

' Hey, this is Nate Miles. I have a proposal for you. Would you please reach out to me through this number when you get it

All we needed to do now was to wait for him to reach out to us.

I worked on the paperwork that the secretary had dropped off on my desk earlier.

I contacted my lawyer for review, and then put my signature on the places needed.

It was about 1 pm when my secretary rang me to remind me about the site check with our client that I have to attend by 2 pm.

I got ready and met with Andrew at the car park.

He drove us to the site.

I met up with our client at the site.

He was already there before we arrived.

We did our site inspection. Had a little gist and some adjustments then he left.

We went back home, I was already tired for the day. I just retired to my room.

I freshened up and laid on the bed.

My thoughts drifted again, I wondered what Isabella was up to.

Then I remembered, she was yet to give me an answer.

Was she going to stay here and work for him or did she want to go back to meet her boyfriend?

I need to get an answer for me to know what to do with it.

She bothers me.
