Psycho

44. Invite?

Carmen's POV 

My eyes couldn't help but dart to his angle every now and then. Curiosity filled my mind as i wondered why he was here. 

Kiara must have gotten really frustrated as she started frowning at me. 

"Hey, if you're really curious about bossy boss over there, imma just head out." She crossed her arms. 

"But it's girls' night.." 

"Exactly. Since you know that, shall we ditch this hellhole and go to a club??" Her eyes started to sparkle. 

I gave it a little thoughts, doing a 2 seconds debate inside my mind. 

"Hm..."

Kleo's POV 

1, 2, 3 and down. 

He was drunk. 

I rolled my eyes as I saw this state for the 1000th time ever since i met him. 

Julios had always been a light drinker, so when he really gulps down those glasses of whiskey, it really kills. Which ultimately ends up him being really honest. By honest, i mean, really honest. 

He would start rambling about his "depressing" life in the open, which during daylight, he would never dare to. 

So you could say his drunk state, is dangerous. 

I can only refrain from his offers of a glass just to be the listening ear and driver. 

However, today, what shocked me wasn't the extra shots of whiskey, but the topic of his life he was cursing at. 

Elena Castro. 

 "I subconsciously held her hand during the meeting you know? I don't know why but something about Macdonald's guy just didn't feel right. And I could see from her facial expression she was uncomfortable. UGH i shouldn't have done that I feel so bad...." 

"She didn't reject it?" 

"Maybe she didn't dare to? It was like, her first time in a meeting with me and I'm paying her bloody salary. Of course she may have thought if she rejected I would fire her!" 

"You're overthinking." 

"Nah not possible. I'm fully aware. PLUS she had this aura around her that seemed so charming. It was as if telling me that any challenge I throw at her she'll accept wholeheartedly and she'll just prove my judgement wrong and I just can't help but be intrigued by that! FURTHERMORE her notes during the meeting was so accurate! She even managed to summarize some points that I hadn't quite understand during the meeting. None of my secretaries have ever been this proficient in their work before."

"Shows she's a good employee." 

"NO! It shows the past candidates were just up for the position and money! They were never serious in their work. And they were the ones you chose Kleo! God!" 

"I'm sorry." 

"No no don't be. I should be the one sayin sorry."

"Why?" 

"I don't know anymore!! But its not your fault. Its Ms Castro's!" 

"Why are you blaming her?" 

"I guess I'm not used to such high proficiency in their work from my secretaries before. Maybe that's why she interest me so much. Tell me its true....Kleo.." 

"...sure Mr Black." 

"Julios, julios. Just call me Julios. We're not in the office. J U L I O S." 

"It's a form of respect Mr Black." 

"Gosh i think by the time i die, i'll never hear you say my name." 

"One day, Mr Black." I chuckled.  

"Yea yea, but Ms Castro...." 

The one sided conversation just continued to what seemed like forever. His troubles started surrounding Ms Castro to the point that all his external problems started linking back to her. That one main example, was... his sex life. 

Society has had the rumor that Julios has an...interesting sex life. Truth is, it was just his looks that fooled the media. To be honest, he was a really innocent kind of person. His aura probably just gave the wrong impression. 

I rested my chin on my hands and just stared at him. No one has really seen him up close more than I did. You could call it..an honor. 

He has really good features, not gonna lie. He had the face of a dominant and a body of greek god. Hands of a little girl, and a heart of gold. 

Tell me, who wouldn't fall for a guy like him..

Carmen's POV

I was standing behind Mr Attitude for awhile now and I gotta say- is he maybe staring a lil too hard at Julios? 

I brushed that thought aside and tapped on his shoulder lightly. It made him jolt up and turn his direction towards me. 

"Ms..Castro. What are you doing here?" 

"Uhm, coincedentally?" 

"I see." 

"What are you and Mr Black doing here?" 

"He said he wanted a drink. Must be a bad day at work or something." 

I could tell he was lying. He obviously knew the real reason why they were here, but I decide not to pressure him further. 

"My friend had left me for an emergency at home. May i join you for the rets of the night?" 

"Oh- uhm, actually we were just leaving.." 

"What??? No we're not!" Julios suddenly cut in. 

I got a little shocked when he spoke, heck I thought he was in a beer coma.

"We're leaving Mr Black. You're drunk ad hell." Kleo spoke hurriedly. 

"Can i get you a taxi?" I asked. 

"No need. I'm driving." 

"Oh....Alright then. Uhm, have a safe drive. See you tomorrow!" I awkwardly replied. 

I could feel there was this tension between us, does he still dislike me?

I waited for Kleo to pick up Julios and get ready to leave, but instead he stared at me for a few seconds. 

"Uh...Kle-"

"Ms Castro, would you like to follow us?" He asked. 

"W-what?" 

He smiled devishly. 

"I said I'm bringing you to his house."
