Both of us fell onto the bed, with her on top of me. My hands moved up to the back of her head, not wanting her to get hurt. I was about to ask if she was okay when I saw her facial expressions changing. Her eyes widened in horror, as if something flashed in front of them. She immediately pushed herself away from me and stood up while trembling a little. She moved her head from side to side, as if trying to take out whatever was going on in her mind. I kept looking at her with little furrowed brows. She looked tense. She turned around and ran away before I could catch her. She ran out of the room like lightning, leaving me perplexed. I stood up and dusted my clothes before following her down. She had already dashed out of the house.

"Where did she go?" I asked Logan, who was looking at the door.

"She dashed out of the house with Sophia," Logan said while scratching his head.

"I don't know what's going on with her. What was she asking you before I came?" I asked him while putting my hands on my hips.

"She was asking about last night. She was so wasted that she doesn't remember much about the last night," he said while looking at me. Ok, now I know the reason behind her odd behaviour. She wants to know what we did. An evil smirk formed on the corner of my lip. Last night was such a roller coaster ride. That my tiny seductress didn't let go of a single chance to make my life hell. She kept me on edge the entire night. I felt blood rushing to my member even at the mere remembrance of last night.

I was missing her so badly, and on top of that, she was not talking to me. She won't even let me kiss her. I was going crazy and trying my best to do my work, but her thoughts wouldn't let me concentrate. I closed the file and sighed deeply. I didn't want to let her go alone, but I had this important work to handle. I'm going to her home town tomorrow. I grabbed my cell phone. I swiped the lock screen, and her smiling face appeared. My thumb moved on the screen to trace her face. A small smile formed on my face as I looked at her smiling face. I was so tempted to go to her at this instant. Should I? I sigh deeply in distress while resting my head on the back of the chair. Should I call her? What if she doesn't pick up my call? Should I text her? There was a knock on my office door, which made me look up.

"Come in," I said sternly while locking my cell phone again. James opened the office door a bit.

"Boss, we are going for a drink; do you want to join us?" he asked while sticking his head inside through a little ajar door. A drink is what I need now to silence my thoughts for a bit.

"Yeah, let's go," I said while keeping the file in the drawer before standing up. We went to the nearest club. I thought a drink could help me, but it made the situation even more grave. I couldn't stop thinking about her. Her alluring laughter Her beautiful smile. Her non-stop chattering about things she was excited about Everything was going so well, and then it got ruined in seconds. She thinks she got the job because I recommended her. They noticed her because of it, but she got the job because of her capability.

How should I make her understand that when she is not even ready to talk to me?

I gulped down the remaining whisky in one go. It burned my throat, but it was nothing compared to what I was feeling inside. How badly I want to kiss her and tell her how much I love her. She has entered my life as a warm breeze capable of bringing havoc to my life, and now I can't breathe without her. I had made up my mind. I can't wait till tomorrow; I'm going to her now at this instant. I left the club. I called my secretary on my way and told him to make arrangements. He called back, saying no flights were available at this moment. I couldn't wait until the morning to see her. I got my things and left for her hometown with my private jet. She replied to all my messages with a single word. She was still mad at me, and I had to make it go away. I left with determination. Like a man on a mission. When I reached her house, I found her drunk. They were all trying to calm her down, but she still tried to grab the beer from Logan.

"Let me drink my sorrows. He is so mean to me. He doesn't love me." I heard her slurring and complaining to them.

"No, he doesn't. He loves you," Logan tried to tell me. Refusing to give her the can of beer.

"No, he—" she tried to prove her point.

"Tiny," I called her, which made her stop talking and look at me immediately, like going into alert mode. Everyone went silent when they noticed my presence. I kept looking at her, and she kept staring back without even blinking. She looked so cute in her pink hoodie. Her hair is dishevelled. Face flushing because of drinking. Her lips slightly pushed forward like a baby, as if she were about to cry. My heart felt a tug when I saw her glassy eyes. I hate it when she cries. Before I could take a step in her direction, she lunged in my way. Her body collided with mine, making me take a step back because of the impact. I wrap my hands around her. She clings to me like a monkey and snuggles her face into my neck.

"I missed you so much," she said, almost complaining. A smile formed on the corner of my lips.

"I missed you too," I said while kissing her head. I tightened my hold on her. I found everyone looking at us with wide, surprised eyes. I signalled them with my hand to go. They took a breath of relief. I carried her inside the house. Elijah told me where her room is before heading to his, looking tired. The reason was resting peacefully in my arms after giving hard times to all. She kept hiding her face in my neck. I think she fell asleep. Well, that's what I thought. I carried her to her room.

Unaware that I had just stepped into a rollercoaster of a night.
