Running (Walker Series Book 2)

Chapter 14

Alex's POV

It's been two days since my confrontation with my PA and she has kept her distance from me, only speaking when spoken to and she seems empty, not that I care tho.

I talked to my therapist and she says comparing Anna, my Anna to her will only make me despise her more without reason because of my feelings for Anna and how I left.

She also advised I tell her about how I feel about her and see if it makes the dislike any less but I don't think I will.

I don't need her to know I don't like her, I just need her to drop the innocent facade and just show everyone who she truly is.

I've had less disturbing dreams these past few days and honestly it's mostly because I go to bed with thoughts of my PA and her annoying attitude.

In a way she kind of takes my mind of Anna but not in a good way and I don't like it.

I'm supposed to travel today for a business trip which will probably last two days and I intend to take her with me.

As much as I dislike her presence around me, I can't deny that she knows how to sort my shit and she does her job very well most of the time, if she's not getting on my nerves.

I call her to my office to inform her of our departure, she walks in so tenderly, her face is flushed, she looks withdrawn but so long as it doesn't interfer with her work then I don't care.

I can't help but notice how plain her face is, the only special thing about her face that really fascinates me are her eyes, one can get lost in them if ones not careful.

She's standing in front of me and only then do I realize I'm thinking about my PA in a wrong way, I shake my head to rid them of such thoughts.

I clear my throat before speaking "I'll be going to Italy today, you know that right"? I ask, and she just nods of course she knows that she prepared my schedule and flight.

"Good, there's been a change in plans, you'll be coming with me" I tell and she quickly looks up at me her eyes widening slightly.

I'm hoping she says something to counter me but she doesn't really say anything and just waits for me to keep talking.

Why doesn't she ever oppose me when I give an order?
"We'll be there for two days" I tell her "we leave in 6 hours"

"But sir I don't even have a flight booked for myself" she squeaks out, at least she talks.

"That's not a problem, you can do that now, I'm sure you'll get a vacant space if you get to it now" I say dismissing her

She doesn't say anything, just stands there playing with her finger, what's with her and always fidgeting, if she wants to say something she should just say it.

I groan lowly before telling her "if you have something to say Donovan, I suggest you say it now or you leave" I tell her sternly.

She peeks at me from her lashes before speaking "I haven't packed a suitcase yet and I was thinking I could go home and prepare for that before time" she says not meeting my eye

"There'd be no need for that, I'm sure we can find something for you when we get there, it's just a two day trip" I tell her with finality.

She just nods and walks out of my office, I can't help but watch her back as she leaves, I'm not gonna lie she looks really attractive and her curves are just in the right places.

It's no wonder she gets the attention of almost everyone in the building, male and female.
She has the body of a seductress but she plays so innocently.
