MY COLD-HEARTED BOSS

Chapter - 13 : 'Challenge Accepted!'

JANE

I came to my office as I went up to my desk and sat down on my chair. I’m having a terrible hangover since I woke up this morning. In a while_ P’Krist came up to me.

“Jane! Here you are.” He extended the coffee mug, grinning.

“Aww! P’Krist, thank you so much.” I accepted as I smiled. “I seriously need this.” I furrowed my brows.

“Are you alright? What happened to you? You look pale today.” He gave me a worried look.

I winced. “Last night I went to a Karoke bar with my friends and we drank a lot, I got a hangover now.” I said, pressing my forehead with my fingers.

“Ooh. Do you want me to buy you a medicine?” he gave me a concern look.

“Ooh. It’s alright. No need. Thank you.” I smiled.

“Okay. Take care of yourself.” He smiled. I nodded and smiled back and he walked off.

KRIST PERAWAT

I went to my Boss office. I took a deep breath before I knocked the door.

“Come in.” he uttered from inside. I pushed past the door and stepped into his office. He glanced up at me with a wide smile tugging on his lips. I stole glances from him.

“Khun Singto. Here’s your Americano.” I put it on the table. “And here are the documents that need your approval.” I handed him the documents, stealing glances from him.

He smiled and took it. “Where is the minutes of yesterday’s meeting?” he asked.

“I put it on your desk this morning.” I said straight, pointing my eyes on his desk.

“Well, I didn’t see it.” he shrugged.

“Okay, then I’ll look for it for you.” I said.

“Okay.”  He nodded as he smiled.

I noticed his wide smile and twinkling eyes which forced me to think, “What’s wrong with him today? He doesn’t seem his usual self.”

I turned around as something clicked my mind, “Hey! Why this conversation sounds familiar?” I tried to recall. My eyes widened suddenly, “Huh!!! Last time I fell down into his laps. I have to be careful this time.” I walked up to his side. As I was looking for the papers on his desk, I tried my best to stay away from him.

“Boss, here you are.” I said, holding the paper in my hand as I turned around. I gasped in shock when he surprised me by pushing me against his desk, both arms trapping my sides. My hands placed back on the desk to support. I felt the warmth of his breath when he put his face closer to mine as he leaned towards me.

“W-what are y-you doing?” I stuttered in nervousness leaning against his desk, feeling my cheeks turned red.

“Are you trying to avoid me? You didn’t even make an eye contact with me since you are here.” He scanned my face with his seductive eyes.

His words made my breath hitch at the back of my throat. “N-no. I-I’m not. C-can you p-please move a bit back and talk?” I shut my eyelids tightly as I felt my heart beats rapidly.

“Why? Are you nervous?” he purred seductively. I open my eyes and saw his lips curved into a smirk. He put his face more close to mine and we stared into each other’s eyes. He smirked, and moved his steps back as he turned around and go back to his chair. A palm rested on my chest as I let out a sigh of relief.
