'You can all go now,' Zion told them coolly, gathering up his papers. 'Every one can go now except for Nevin. We have something to discuss - in private.' He added while he can see that Drew is awkward leaving him with Zion.

With bated breath he waited for Drew to say that he can't stay whether he deemed necessary but to his dismay Drew only smile at him and left with others.

'Well now,' said Zion when they were alone, 'you did well earlier. What the reason for it?' He added sarcastically.

'Why do you think so?' Nevin ask Zion angrily. 'I know your views on the likes of me that work in the media and I hate the way you push Drew to the corner. Well, as far as I know he is still the chief controller and he is still my boss and this means I will take my order only from him.'

'I'll bet,' Zion drawled cynically. 'The day Drew will take charge and give order—that I've got to see!'

'Don't you dare belittle Drew! He is capable more than you.' Nevin replied adamantly.

'But NTC has different view on that," Zion remarked sarcastically.

Even though he would like to believe that Drew is capable, even though it is hard to deny the truth he has no choice but to accept it. He is one verge of tears but he is holding it in.

'All this concern, and for old Drew! I'm impressed.' The derogatory tones could not be ignored, and drawing himself up to his full height, Nevin choked back:

'And why I should not be concerned with him? I love him and that's enough reason to care.' He wasn't able to hold himself.

He must surely have imagined the disbelief in those narrowed deep black eyes, he told himself seconds later, when it had been banished to be replaced with a mocking smile. 'Really? Youre such a puzzle to me.'

His tone caught him off guard, making him say defensively, 'Is it really hard for you to believe that Drew love me? Is it hard for you to accept that someone could love me even though I'm like this?'

'It's not like that,' Zion said, 'he may have love you. I just hope that he was able to tame you instead you biting back." He added while looking up his body.

'So you're in love with Drew. Do you sleep together?' Zion teasingly ask him.

Nevin can't believe that Zion has the audacity to ask him that. 'What is it with you whatever is our relationship?' He ask Zion. "My relationship with Drew doesn't affect my work performance if that's what you are insinuating.'

'Yeah, I saw it. He let me grill you in front of everybody, right? He is not for you Nevin.' Zion told him softly. 'He can't tame you....'

'Why does he need to tame me?' Nevin shouted.

Zion look at him knowingly. 'So that's it. You don't love Drew,' he told him positively, 'you are only using him for whatever reason that you have. You can't use that forever.'

'Who's going to stop me anyway?' He answered Zion, he is wondering why he allows this person to manipulate him in this kind of conversation. 'You?'

He stop abruptly and wished that he did not blurted it out and he can see the knowing smirk on Zion's face. He can feel that he is elated while annoying Nevin.

'Why not?' Zion drawled smoothly, his fingers reaching out to brush the curls back from his cheek. Even with lightest touch of Zion's hands on his face send tingles to his core. He is apprehensive for his situation at the moment.

'Don't touch me!' he choked fiercely, but Zion only laugh and he got so close to him, his eyes watching how his chest heave hard with his breathing.

'If you are in love with Drew, you wouldn't feel anything with my touch, right?' He whispered in Nevin's ear and his eyes is like seducing him. 'But you don't really love Drew, right?'

'Of course I do!' he protested. 'Why are you doing this to me? Can't you stop meddling with me?'

'Why? Because you're an extremely desirable person, with a body that excites me. I want you, Nevin,' he whispered hoarsely then goosebumps spread on his arms. 'And I get what I want.'

'Well, sorry to burst your bubble, I wont fall for your tricks and beside I don't want you at all!' Nevin protested hotly, emotion darkening his eyes. 'Beside I love Drew dearly.'

Zion stared at him and when their eyes meet he saw how determined Zion is to get what he wants. It took all the self control he had to stare back at him.

'You're a liar,' he told him, 'on both counts, and before too long I'll prove it to you.'

'I'll tell Drew about this. I'll tell him everything you told me. I won't let anything slip.' Nevin said angrily, but the steely grip of his fingers on his arms sliced off his protests, his eyes dark as they bored into him.

'Just do that,' he replied, 'and you will see if Drew really ever care for you. Once he learn I'm interested with you, he'll let you go easily. I know Drew he is not confrontational person and if he thinks letting you go would make the station better, then he will let you go.'
