3. THE AWKWARD PROXIMITY.

'Amanda drops the coffee and walks out before they notice you,' My mind jolted me up from my bewildered state.

They didn't even notice I had opened the door, staring at them as they groped each other… the blonde lady's moans made me want to puke. I was instantly disgusted by my boss's attitude… is this who he was? Couldn't he look for somewhere else to exhibit his immoral act and not in the office?

My instinct was to turn back, close the door and knock on the door appropriately as I should have done earlier to get their attention since they were acting like two sexually deprived beasts.

I didn't know how long I stood there watching my hot boss making out with the blonde lady in his office, or how they were not supposed to know the presence of someone in the office.

I found myself walking closer to the table with my eyes fixed on them as my boss's hand roamed the blonde's breast almost sticking out through her unbuttoned shirt, squeezing the life out of it, and I blushed crimson red… maybe it was a bad idea entering into the office.

The blonde lady moaned out lowly, and I frowned, staring at her as she enjoyed the sensual bliss she found herself in.

'That was enough,' I thought annoyingly.

I don't even know why I was getting irritated or angry anyway… I'm just supposed to drop the cup of coffee and walk out like the invincible lady they turned me into, but this doesn't feel right and as the personal assistant to my boss, I guess I can also correct him when the need arises.

My stupid self decided to clear her throat, making my boss and the blonde lady come to their senses and stop their crazy business. They were both engaged as they cast a surprised look towards my way.

For a moment, I was angry… why was I angry? That was something I couldn't explain by myself. I realized I had been staring too long at my boss and noticed he too had also fixed his gaze on me. He looked amused not because of what I caught him doing, but with the way, I had judged him with my eyes… And hell yeah, I had judged him so much with these little pretty eyes of mine.

My eyes lowered to his lips, and I cleared my throat once more and looked away while his swollen red lips played in my memory.

"Good morning sir, this is your coffee," I said calmly, placing the coffee on the table and at the same time narrowed my gaze to the blonde lady who was adjusting her clothes when I bent lowly.

I glanced back at my boss and noticed he was still staring at me.

'Take your eyes off me, jerk!' Someone like him would be nothing more than a perverted jerk who used women for their pleasure.

'What's with those eyes of his on me, anyway?' I pondered, staring elsewhere except at him.

I straightened up myself and turned around immediately to leave the goddamn office that was screaming explicit zone.

"Amanda!" My boss's deep voice halted me, the way he called my name made all the hair on my body stand erect, causing a chill to run down my spine… I don't even want to think about it.

The blonde lady walked past me, bumping me on the shoulder slightly and nudging me out of her way… I heard her chuckle shamelessly and stared at how she swayed her hips as she walked out of the office, while I just stood without turning around to answer my boss.

"Didn't you know you should knock on the door and wait for a response before barging in like that, or were you supposed to be oriented on that aspect?" I heard a deep voice say behind me, and I turned around immediately to find my boss standing so close to me with his cup of coffee in his left hand.

'How did he even get so close to me within a short period of time and without me realizing,' I thought suspiciously, trying to do a quick calculation of how he had walked so fast from his seat to where I was standing.

"I'm talking to you, Miss. Jackson," That arrogant voice woke me from my trance and I blinked severally at the handsome devil standing in front of me while I tried to register what he had said earlier.

"Miss. Jackson?" His baritone voice sounded so stern now.

"Huh?"

"I guess you do have the habit of zoning out each time I converse with you, and I'm afraid I have to—"

"I'm sorry, sir," I interrupted him as fast as I could, I didn't want to hear what he had to say next.

'What was he afraid of anyway?'

'That he's going to have me quitting from my new job or what?' I pondered as my heart beat wildly against my chest.

I rather don't hear what he has to say next… so, it's better off that way, as I interrupted him.

"It won't happen again," I uttered confidently, trying to keep an eye level with him, but I couldn't.

"Good," I noticed the arrogant and cocky smirk that curled up around the corner of his extremely pinkish lips.

'I wonder how soft his lips are?'

'Amanda! Seriously?' I scolded myself… how could I be thinking of such a forbidden thing about my boss?

My eyes met with his dark eyes that held a great depth of tranquility, and it was weird how my heart was starting to pound insanely and blood flowing heavily to my temple.

'What's wrong with me?'

'Why am I feeling this way when I'm so close to him?'

I looked away, not able to bear the self-esteem of staring at him straight in the eyes, although I could feel the amusement his eyes held while I bet a taint of pink would have stained my cheeks.

"Perhaps, you didn't see anything as you walked into the office?" I snapped my face back to his, all unspoken nervousness in me washed away and replaced with irritation.

'How could he be asking me such a question? So dumb of him?'

'Am I blind or what?'

"No, I didn't see anything, sir?" I said through my teeth and put on a fake smile, while he arched a brow at me and smiled.

He raised his left hand holding the cup of coffee to his lips and sipped out of the coffee I had prepared for him and nodded his head in acknowledgment.

'Guess, it wasn't bad,' I thought with a sigh of relief escaping through me.

"This is good for your first," He complimented and moved closer to me, covering the distance between us, and my heart skipped a beat.

"Tha-thank you" I stuttered, my nervousness running back to me.

His cologne filled my nostrils, like the first time he got so close to me on the day of my interview, and I'm starting to hate it that I might get used to his intoxicating smell.

"I think, I should get going," I muttered, still feeling quite uncomfortable, and took a step away from him, at least I would be able to breathe even for a little while.

One thing I know for sure is that I don't trust this man, well, I don't know him well enough to be keeping a close space with this handsome devilish looking young man, not even with what I saw earlier with what he and that bitchy blonde lady were doing.

I gasped suddenly when I felt his right hand wrap around my upper-right arm and pulled me suddenly to him.

My face hit his chest before I could get a grip of myself and I could inhale his cologne sharply through my nostrils, which made my stomach churn unexpectedly… I don't even want to know if it is a good or bad feeling.

"I didn't say you could go, did I?" He questioned, sounding like the Imperious boss that he is.

"No, you di-didn't," I quivered, my heart was beating so fast that I was afraid that it might burst anytime soon.

"Good! You should only carry out orders that I give to you," A surging chill ran down my body the way he said it, not as a warning but something he would want me to oblige to certainly.

"Now, go meet Sarah… tell her to take you to your office, and she will tell you what to do next," He said and finally let go of my arm.

I scooted away from him as fast as possible and glared at him…

He will be one hell of an annoying person.

Such a pest!

'Did he necessarily have to hold me so close, to tell me all that?' I wondered irritatingly as I watched him take another sip from the coffee and gave me that proud smirk of his.

I wished I could pour that coffee on him, right now.

"Okay sir," I replied and turned around, striding so fast to the door to get out of his office more than anything I could think of.
