Ryan: Is it love - The original story (Game walk through)

Chapter five part one

For a moment all you can hear is the muffled purring of the engine. The tension between us is so strong it could definitely set off a few sparks.

> Sir... It's not...

I make a lame attempt at ridding myself of him. We simply can't do this even though I'm dying to... I watch as his lips slowly stretch into a smile. He leans in, bringing his mouth closer to my ear. His scent overwhelms me... A delightful chill runs through my whole body.

Mr. Carter > You weren't so indecisive when I was up against you in the elevator that time... Remember?

WHAT?! My heart leaps in my chest! This revelation snaps me out of the numb state his embrace had plunged me in! I feel like he's thrown cold water in my face! He was the mysterious stranger in the elevator! The guy I almost had the most indecent and most sensual experience in my life with... He knew it all along! What a bastard!

I free myself from his embrace on the spot, leaving him standing alone beside the window!

> So... You've known all along?

He smooths down his shirt calmly and a grin appears at the corner of his lips.

Mr. Carter > I must admit that you made that evening much more entertaining than it had been up until then.

What nerve!

> Why didn't you tell me?!

He stares at me, visibly amused, rolling his shirt sleeves back down.

Mr. Carter > Tell you what? That I was the mysterious man you savagely embraced in the elevator at work?

> You mean to say that YOU kissed me savagely!

Mr. Carter > You didn't give me the impression that you were against it...

Suddenly, I realize that there's something far more unpleasant and demeaning than his lie. Is that why he hired me? It would explain my sudden promotion... Is that what he's been waiting for since the beginning? To screw me on his private jet?!

> Is that why you hired me?

My fists are tight and I'm all choked up. If he comes near me again, I swear I'll give him a huge slap!

Mr. Carter > Not at all.

> Oh... So why did you then?

Mr. Carter > You aroused my curiosity in that meeting room, Miss Langood... I like people who present a challenge. And the little bonus in the elevator has nothing to do with what I think about your skills.

> The little bonus?! You've got to be kidding!

He sits down, shaking his head, a teasing smile on his face. Obviously, he finds the situation very amusing!

> What's so funny?

His ash-coloured eyes stare at me. He puts his elbow on the armrest and rubs his chin.

Mr. Carter > First you think that I need to buy girls at auctions and then, that I'm the kind of man to promote his employees just to sleep with them wherever I may please. Seriously? Miss Langood...

His little mocking air ticks me off big time! I refuse to let him have the last word! Even if it means overstepping the bounds that my position imposes on me.

> Shall I tell you what annoys me the most?

He just looks at me, slowly stroking his lower lip.
