The CEO and The Doctor

16. "You can't bear another woman in my bed?"

(2612 words)

Weekend finally came around, and I stood in front of the vanity in my room, dressed in the black dress Aiden had gotten me to wear to the annual surgical conference part 2.

I couldn't help but admire how good it looked on me. It fit me like a glove, which piqued my curiosity as to how he was able to pick out my size so accurately.

Aiden was at work, and I were to take an Uber to the conference. I missed the times when I could drive my own car, but some technical issues emerged in it that were too expensive for me to get fixed.

After slipping on a pair of silver heels that went with the sparkling silver sequins on my dress, I gave myself a final look in the mirror. My lips were painted red and my eyes stood out thanks to mascara.

I grabbed my handbag and carefully walked down the stairs in my high heels. The Uber waited in front of the penthouse. I sat inside and gave the driver instructions on where to go, before leaning back.

About thirty minutes later, I arrived at the hotel the conference was in. I was overcome with excitement as I went in and looked at my surroundings.

Everything went smoothly. I was on cloud nine. I was able to interact with so many doctors my age as well as many accomplished surgeons. As I sat listening to a speech towards the end of the conference, someone came and sat next to me.

I didn't bother looking at the person, and kept my eyes on the stage.

"Are you happy now?" The person next to me asked in a low tone.

Recognising the voice, I turned to my side, and surely, it was none other than Aiden Knight. "You?" I whispered.

"I funded it, remember?"

"Yeah but you said you had meetings."

"I attended half and postponed the rest." He replied simply.

I looked at him, perplexed. Why would he want to attend the conference?

"You didn't answer my question... are you happy?" He asked again.

I nodded, a smile spreading on my face. "Very happy... thank you."

"Nice dress. Whoever got it has great taste." He remarked.

I had to put my hand over my mouth to keep myself from laughing out loud. Glancing at him, I found him smirking slightly.

"Yeah... thank you for the dress too."

I gasped as his mouth neared my ear, his thighs almost touching mine. "It's my favourite colour."

My heart drummed erratically, goosebumps erupting all over my skin.

"B-black?" I found my voice once he moved away.

"Yes."

"I'm not surprised... that's the colour of your soul."

He laughed quietly, causing me to look at him in astonishment. I had never seen him genuinely laugh before. He looked so normal. So relaxed. Nothing like the scary, dangerous person he typically showed himself to be.

"Don't look at me like that." He said.

"Like what?" I asked, biting the inside of my lip to keep my smile from spreading from one ear to the next.

"Like you're falling for me." He whispered huskily in my ear.

I snorted, before snickering quietly.

Claps sounded around us as the speech finished. An announcement to grab refreshments was made. I zoomed in with my eyes at the refreshments table where I had spotted a plate of strawberries earlier. I gasped when I noticed there was only one last left.
