Mated To The Devil

Chapter 9: Not your Typical CEO

Natasha's POV

"I didn't know you drive," I commented as I stared at Valerian's strong arm and hand gripping the steering wheel.

I roamed my eyes inside his car.

I just know this is one hell of an expensive car by the looks of it.

It looks so classy and beautiful, although I can't see everything since I'm in the shotgun seat with a seatbelt on, and the moves I can make are limited.

"Why won't you just use your speed to go to places that you want? Gasoline is expensive," I remarked.

Valerian just remained silent, and his eyes stayed focused on the road with his forehead slightly creased.

Why is he so serious?

Instead of bugging him, I just closed my mouth and remained seated neatly in my seat.

He let me out, and if I did something that might piss him off, he would change his mind, and worse, he would do something terrible to me. It's true that he needs me too, but it's Valerian Fenrir that we're talking about here. He's vicious and cannot be trusted.

I should always be careful.

My eyes landed on his hand on the steering wheel.

His gold wristwatch sparkled when the rays of the sun hit it, and I just thought it was pretty that I couldn't get my eyes off it.

"Get out." I heard Valerian say that snapped me out of my reverie.

I got so caught up staring at his watch being hit by sun rays that I didn't notice we had already arrived at our destination.

I did as I was told.

I got out of the car and saw that we were inside a parking lot.

I saw Valerian walk towards the elevator, so I quickly followed him.

"I'll be busy today. Do not leave my sight," he commanded.

I sucked on my lower lip.

Shit.

I was finally outside, but I didn't think of him as a problem. I thought he would just drop me anywhere and do his things. I didn't know he would take me with him like this.

"Are you listening?" Valerian asked as he creased his forehead at me.

I just nodded.

The elevator opened, and he quickly went inside. I just followed him once again.

We're walking in the wide hallway right now, and I have no idea where we are or what are we doing here.

Valerian entered a huge room that looked like an office, and I looked like his tail because I was just following his every step.

I have a plan on my own as soon as I set foot outside, but for now, I need to obey him and don't leave his side. Besides, I don't know much about this place and the city. I don't want to get lost.

He sat in the swivel chair behind the desk, and I sat on the chair in front of him.

"Where are we?" I finally asked.

"My office," he answered as he opened the laptop in front of him.

His office?

"My company," he added.

The sound of the keyboard clattering filled my ears as he started typing on his laptop.

My mouth gaped at the realization. "Your company? You own this?"
