✿ CHAPTER 18 ✿
I could feel My heart racing very fast….how didn't I realize this man was My dad's boss…. I've been trying to push away the memories from that night but seeing him here, dressed up and looking hotter than I remembered that night, brought all the memories rushing back like a tsunami!
I quickly stood up and walked away from the table…
I was inside the bathroom for some minutes trying to calm myself down until I heard the sound of leather shoes approaching.
Immediately, the bathroom door swung open, and I looked up and saw this godly handsome man…why did this man have to be so hot as hell?
"Excuse me, sir. This is the ladies' bathroom." I was nervous.
He stayed silent as he locked the door behind him, ensuring no one walked in. he turned to face me, his eyes filled with unspoken emotions. He steps closer…each step made my heart race…I stepped back until my back hit the wall…
"What are you-"
"Why are you running from me, Amelia?" His voice was husky and deep as it flowed into my ears
" I-"
"Amelia" he whispered as he tucked a hair behind my ear.
"I didn't know you were the daughter of the vice CEO" he leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear.
My ear turned red…WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN!!!... I couldn't even think straight he's just-
"Amelia?" his deep voice snapped me out of my thinking.
I hurriedly pulled away like I was on fire.
"How was I even supposed to know you're my father's boss?" I scratched my ears
"Don't pull away from me Amelia-"
"No!... I have all right to pull away from you, mister…let's…let's pretend that night never happened, okay?."
Why does the bathroom suddenly feel cold?
His expression darkened
"I can't pretend that night never happened Amelia" He slammed his fist on the bathroom tiles making me jolt in fear…I was scared.
"How do you expect me to forget about the passionate night we both shared, Amelia" he lowered his voice…..I just stood fidgeting in fear, his expression turned vulnerable as he stepped towards me…
"I'm sorry Amelia, I'm sorry if I frightened you….I didn't mean to, I'm just-" I didn't wait for him to finish his sentence as I hurriedly left the bathroom slamming the door behind me.
He clenched his fists.
"Damn it!"
I took a deep breath as I walked back to our table.
"Did you see Mr. Leonard on your way to the bathroom?" My Dad asked as I took my seat at the table.
"No, I didn't see him, why are you asking me?" I was nervous. My mom glanced at me as she spoke calmly.
"He was just asking, why are you getting nervous" she narrowed her eyes at me. I was beginning to freak out, how could I forget My mom was a living lie detector?
" I-"
"Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, I'm sorry I wasted a lot of time. After the bathroom I went to get a little present from My car" he smiled warmly as he took his seat. I tried as much to avoid his gaze.
"Oh my, you got us gifts?" My mom smiled.
"That's very nice of you Mr. Leonard" My dad accepted the gifts.
I wondered what was inside the little bags.
"And I also got this for your daughter" Leonard looked at me as he stretched his hands, giving me the bag.
I can't accept anything from this man, NEVER!
"Amelia, our guest is giving you a present," My Dad said when he saw I wasn't making any attempt to take the gift from Leonard.
"I'm sorry sir, but I have to decline this-"
"I'll take this for her" My Mom beamed a smile as she took the gift from Leonard.
What the f*ck Mom! Didn't she get I don't want to take his gift!
"Oh, seems like a scarf, a red one at that" My Mom took a peek inside the bag.
My ears stood up when I heard the word 'scarf', WAIT A MINUTE, RED SCARF?
I hurriedly snatched the bag from My mom as I took out the scarf from the bag.
I was in awe.
Hold on a second…why does this scarf look familiar?
