My eyes are always searching for you

Chapter 54

The next day there was a meeting where an interpreter was needed and I was called. I had to interpret for my Boss. It was a bit awkward but the meeting went well. After the meeting, as the client left the meeting room, I and Minho were left. I was about to leave when Minho grabbed my wrist and stopped me. I turned around faking a smile.

"Do you need anything, Sir?"

He pulled me towards him and said, "Careful Miss Sarah. I am not the same Minho you met in Japan. I just want to give a heads-up that I won't hold back now."

I looked into his eyes. There was determination and perseverance. He seemed determined. But for what?

"Heads-up for what?... Sir? I said trying to step away from his grip. But instead of letting me go. His other hand snaked around my tiny waist and drew me closer. I was forced to look into his eyes again.

"Heads-up that from now on you won't be able to leave me as you did twice. The first was in Japan and the second one was yesterday. I will make sure that your thoughts will be filled with mine instead of some crush you named Brown boy." He asserted.

My eyes went wide and my jaw fell. What the hell does this mean?
Does he like me? Am I dreaming?

He stepped closer. I could feel his breath on my neck as he brought his face closer to my ear. I tried to ignore the tingles I felt from the sensation. In his low husky voice, he whispered, "I have been holding back till now. But now you won't be able to escape. So gear up Sar- ...Miss Sarah."

I don't know if it was visible but I could feel the heat on my face. I must be red. I need to hide my face!

He stepped back and smirked.
"It will be nice working with you. Miss Sarah." He put his left hand in his pocket and walked out of the meeting room.

I stood there like a statue trying to register what just happened. I blinked one or two times to come to reality. I went to the washroom to calm myself.  Isn't this clear enough Sarah? He likes you. I couldn't stop smiling.

After that, there were two more meetings and I could feel Minho's gaze on me. I caught him looking at me many times. He kept on looking at me with eyes that seemed to be full of love and passion. Am I imagining this or is he literally checking me out?  I stuttered whenever I noticed him. I couldn't help but blush and become nervous. Somehow meeting ended and I ran to my cubicle.

The day ended but I can't stop myself from thinking about him. What the hell Sarah? where did your determination go? Didn't you decide that you'll never meet him or think about him? One look from him and your heart has already melted. Is this how you will keep yourself away from him? But he is so irresistible! I can't stop myself from thinking about him!

I was walking on the sidewalk to go to the bus stop. I kept on thinking about what Minho said. While I was walking I heard a voice from behind.

"What are you thinking about?"

I blurted out,  "Minho."

The voice replied, "Thinking about me?"

Just then I realized that the voice just now was of Minho. I quickly turned around to see Minho standing in front of me. I stepped back to increase the distance between us but I stumbled upon something and Minho came closer in an instant to support me. His hand was on my waist and I held his collar tightly to support myself.

Our eyes met and he smirked when he said, "So you were thinking about me?"

I instantly stood up freeing myself from his grip. I coughed a little trying to spare some time to gain my composure back.
