No Good In GoodBye

Chapter 13

Rebbeca's POV

The days kept passing and our relationship was going good. Jason treated me well.

He made me laugh, smile and happy. He was not like any other man but Ethan was still in the back of my mind. I kept thinking about him when I was alone.

Where was he? What was he doing? Why did he ran away like this?.

Maybe, I was overthinking. Maybe, he was in danger. Or maybe, he was the one who was danger. I don't know, I just think too much- maybe.

Jason was working hard since four five days and he didn't have the chance to meet me. I was not angry. Ofcourse, his job was hard and demanded attention. So I decided to surprise him today.

Walking on the pavements, I kept playing with stones and kicked them with my feet or laughed at any stupid thing that crossed my mind.

A black car crossed me but stopped a little far from me. I, firstly, didn't notice it as much but then it started to reverse back in my direction. I stopped and looked at the car. It stopped near me and the driver was visible.

He was a cute, musculine man wearing in what looked like an Armani suite. He smiled and said "Do you need a lift, Mam?" I looked at him and then he spoke again, "I can drop you", he suggested. "Um.. thank you for the offer but I'm good", I replied with a light smile so as to not appear rude. "Please, I insist. I'll drop you", he said again.

Well, it wouldn't hurt to take a lift plus I have to take a taxi anyway.

I smiled and opened the door. He was handsome, there was no doubt in that.

"Mike, Mike Devonne and your name beautiful?", he asked with a light smile.

I blushed at his comment, "Rebecca Black", I answered. "Hmm.. beautiful name for a beautiful women", he complimented again.

"Your a charmer", I replied.

"My most appreciated quality. What can I say?", He replied flirtly.

I just smiled at his statement. "So what do you do?", he inquired. "I work in ADPH as an assistant editor and you?", he looked at me with his eyebrows raised and said, "you do?", he asked- astonished.

I nodded my head and he said "I never knew and I never even saw you," he said with astonishment and almost in his own daze.

"Why? Do you work there too?", I asked him-confused.

"Work there? I own ADPH. I am, like I said, Mike Devonne, the grandson of Aston Devonne", he answered proudely.

I looked at him with my mouth hanging open.

"So your my boss?. Wait, thats not possible. How are you roaming on the streets without any security? and last I heard was that the owner does not like to drive and is a home-body", I asked him with my eyes narrowed.

He exhaled lightly and smiled a little.

"Well yes, I am your boss and yes you've heard right I do not like to drive and yes I like staying at home and working from there and as far as the security is concerned then, I wasn't feeling to have them with me today so I kinda dodged them and well, ended up giving you a ride".

I looked at him, "well, this is awkward and somewhat fishy and I don't know, more like a clichè scene", I commented and he laughed, "its not awkward. Your making it awkward for yourself and what is fishy in me giving you a ride? and besides its normal to give a ride to your employee- I guess", he said with a smirk.

"Uh-huh", I nodded.

"So you work under Robertson or Nickleby?", he inquired.

"Robertson, Samantha Roberston", I answered.

He nodded and looked at me again, "So where did you say you wanted to go? The Knight enterprises right? I was going over there too."

Only a couple of minutes later we were parking in the parking-lot of Jason's company. "Thank you for giving me a lift. It was nice meeting you, boss or sir or I don't really know what to call you", I said. "Oh, don't worry. We'll meet again soon and you can just call me Mike; no need for formalities. You know you can contact directly me anytime you want; no need of connecting through my secretary and I have a feeling that I will be visiting my office more often from now", he said as we shook hands with eachother and went on our own way. His hands were like steel coated in silk and maybe he was Jason's friend too or maybe he was here for some business.

I was smiling broadely as I took the private elevator and it moved towards the top floor.

The elevator stopped and I got out. I moved towards Jason's room when certain voices stopped me from further movement.

One of them was obviously Jason and the other was Samantha.
