HIS HOPE

chapter 7

Hopes pov:

I have to get out of here so I said gritting my teeth in frustration " Ms. Clay said there are some problems in the documents".

He raised his eyebrows again and smirked " did she say that now?"

He didn't gave me a chance to say anything as he continued "let's look at it again" he said now opening the documents and inspecting them.

My anger knew no bounds now why is he reading them now wtf was he doing before this and if he hasn't found any problems yet why call me here???

Suddenly he got up from his chair and started saying "there seems to be some problems" while looking at the documents.

He came to my side and placed the documents on table in front of me and continued "this page paragraph 4, I suggest you check this again and open page number 27 take a look there too" now he said pointing at the documents.
He was standing besides my chair so I moved a little left without looking at him.

He didn't say anything and continued with his instructions " take a look Miss. Simons".

I started checking the page and I noticed him going towards his book shelves.

I breathed in relief, and focused on the task at hand after examining it for some time I found the problem it was a miscalculation.

I put my finger on the figure and said " I found it Mr. Shaw. I..."

I stopped mid sentence as I felt someone behind my back suddenly two strong arms came on both sides of my chair and I was trapped,"umm seems like u found it" he said deeply, I can feel him, he is so close to my ears and neck that I could feel his hot breath on my neck.And in the next moment I felt something brushing against my neck the tip of his nose was nuzzling against my neck. My breath hitched. And before anything more can happen I immediately removed his arm from my left and stood far away from him.

He was still in the same position bended over the chair with his one hand on the table and other in the air.

I was about to put my rage into into words when he suddenly started slowly moving his head towards me. His eyes were burning and at that moment I knew staying here would do me no good.

"I... I'll..." I tried to say something but wasn't able to form a sentence. So i just dashed out of the room not looking back.
I don't care anymore I have to do something.

ERIC:

I am so frustrated right now I don't know if I should leave her alone or go behind her and finish what I started. I lost control. When she ran away from me I almost wanted to drag her to me and have my way with her but she left immediately and I was able to take control of myself.

Her smell, she smells like chocolates I don't have a sweet tooth but I wanted to bite into her neck. And if she hadn't moved away from me I would have done just that.

Fuck did I mess up. I wasn't able to control myself. I have to control my desires for now afterall she is going to be mine soon. It's just a matter of time.

I calmed myself thinking about how close I was to her, her skin, her smell, god I want her right now.

She must have left the building by now.
God I need to control my desires.

HOPES POV:

I am in a cab going back to our apartment. But my breaths hasn't returned to normal yet, with one hand on my heart I am still trying to understand his real intention.

I have to tell someone about this. It's just my 1st day at work and I didn't even get time to think about work. All day the only thing on my mind was him.

What is he doing to me, I thought groaning.

As soon as I reached our apartment I had made up my mind that I am going to tell grace everything that's happening.

So once I got inside the apartment I started calling her name.

"Grace"

"Gracey"

"GRACE WHERE ARE YOU???" I shouted.

"I am here geez what happened" she said coming out from kitchen with two coffee mugs in her hands.

"Here Miss I am working overtime, take this you need this you seem like that overtime took a toll on you" grace said looking at me.

I was so frustrated from today's events that this normal gesture made me extremely happy and hugged her "I love you so much" I said.

She instantly detached herself from me and started checking my temperature by putting her hand on my forehead "hope are you okay, is it too much work ?? Why are you so stressed baby" she asked worried.

"I am fine and what overtime are you talking about I was just 10 mins late" I said and then I realised she left me " you couldn't even wait for 10 mins??" I asked her accusingly.

"What ? But I thought you were working overtime. Mr. Shaw's driver told me in the parking lot that you will be working overtime and you didn't wanted me to wait" she said giving me a confusing look.

"That's why I was surprised when I heard your voice but I thought maybe you were exhausted so you came early. I was making coffee for myself and I made a cup for you too" she finished.

By now my ears were burning in anger, did he seriously do that. How dare he. He can't just go and lie to people taking my name. What the hell is this man trying to do.

"Hope?" Grace said gaining my attention.
"What was all this confusion about?"she asked.

"I don't think it was a confusion."I muttered.

"What is it grace, did u get on Mr. Shaw's bad side somehow"she asked worried.

"I don't know. I don't know why he is doing this. He is my boss for fucks sake." I said groaning.

"Tell me what is going on hope? " She asked seriously now.

"I was already planning on telling you everything it's too much for me to understand"I said.

"It's about Mr. Shaw" I said hesitantly.

"What about him hope? Is he giving you Hard time?" She asked.

"No it's not that it's worse, he is behaving strange. I don't know what to think of it. I'll start from morning. You remember when he asked me to stay back to tell me something about some rules"I said.

"Yes what happened? Are the rules absurd? Like did you fail to follow one of them? Did u question him about them?" She asked lines of worry clear on her face.

I shook my head "no the thing is , there were no rules, he never talked about rules. Even the word rule wasn't mentioned" I said frustrated.

"Then what happened?" She asked.

I took a long a long breath and started telling her about everything that happened today.
