Enthrall Me (𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒅) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 40 | Work

#&@%©!?

What?

I-

Whaaaat?

After he said that, I'm basically numb, I neither say anything nor do anything, I just... Stand there, staring into his eyes in utter silence.

...

Just as I thought I would be staying here, awkwardly waiting for any of us to say something, he backs away from me and reaches for something inside of his suit jacket.

He takes out his phone.

"Excuse me, I have to take this call." He talks to me but he doesn't look at me, he only stares at his phone.

It appears that someone is calling him.

"Okay..." I blurt quietly as he promptly makes his way out of the hall, I guess to a less noisy place.

So now I'm left alone, chilling by myself until he gets back, observing people and stuff...

I look over to Catalina to find her chatting joyfully about something with Hassan. She's laughing while dancing slowly with him, there's a smile on his face also.

I try to find Keith and that girl but they are nowhere to be found.

My roaming gaze then searches for Damon and I'm glad I still spot him getting past people.

Feeling bored and lonely, something inside urges me to follow him.

"No, just let him be..." I talk to myself.

Then my brain comes up with something that makes me ponder upon.

What if he gets lost getting back here?

I mean we have got so far to the middle of the hall and now we are surrounded by a huge cluster of people. It will be very hard for him to spot me out of them-

"Jeez, brain, okay fine." I roll my eyes and...

I follow him.

...

I diffidently follow him from behind, keeping a definite distance that I deem is alright between us, so that I will not get too close or he will notice me.

We reach the building's main entrance and exit, through which we entered.

There is nobody on this path, it's empty and I like it. I like it when there aren't many people at wherever I happen to be.

He stops when he reaches the glass doors and I stop too.

I hastily hide myself behind a column, slightly inching towards the edge to peek at him.

He is standing with a hand in his pocket, while the other presses the phone against his ear, sightseeing the view outside the doors.

"Damon Alston." He speaks lowly but his voice can be heard clearly because it's kind of quiet here.

There is a little sound coming from his phone but I can't hear what that is.

"Make the meeting the other day."

"I'm busy now."

...

"If he can't take it then tell him to leave, no one is forcing him to work with me."

"No."

...

"No, for fuck's sake, I'm not available now." His voice is more irritated as he yells into the phone.

That sends chills down my spine as I gulp lightly to his sudden change in tone.

Damn, why do I find that hot?

He hangs up the call and stares down at his phone, doing something with it for a moment.

I keep staring at him without making any sound, kind of indulging myself in checking him out, even staring at his back is already enough to make me drool internally.

"Love..."

"What are you doing here?" He puts away his phone.

I look at his back bewilderingly for a few seconds.

"Hmm?" He turns around and meets my eyes, making waves of electricity rush across me.

It is then I actually come to a realization that he was addressing...

Me??

I- how did he know?

So since he already knows that I'm here, I then shyly move away from the column to reveal myself to him.

"Why were you following me?" He asks.

"I..."

"I thought you would get lost getting back so I..." I blurt, looking anywhere but him.

He lets out a chuckle.

"Now, let's head back shall we?"

"Okay..." I say as I walk inside with him by my side.

"Um..."

"Is everything okay?" I can't help but be curious about his previous conversation, he was quite displeased with it.

"Yes, everything is okay." He briefly answers, not providing anymore information, which only makes me yearn for more answers.

Who was he talking to and what was it about?

He said he was busy, was it because he had to spend time with me?

If that's true, then that's actually very sweet of him to take me here, cancelling other plans just for me.

I let my mind wander a bit as we walk side by side to the hall and suddenly, I remember about the conversation that we had earlier.

"Wait..." I say as I stop walking.

He stops to look at me questioningly.

"So... What work were you talking about earlier?" I remind him of the discontinued conversation we were having.

"Hmm..." He hums lowly.

"I..."

"Wanted to offer you a spot in my company..." He spreads a hand out with a smile.

"Company?" I blink my eyes several times.

"One of my companies, yes."

"Wait, what were you thinking?"

"Were you thinking about the other jobs?" He creases his brows lightly and accentuates the word "other".

Both of us know what that means.

"Well... Kinda." I let out a giggle then shyly push a strand of hair behind my ear.

"No, no, you are not suitable for that." He shakes his head with a frown and smirk, his eyes glinting with amusement.

"Okay, so, what job is that?" I smile, meeting his eyes.

He looks at me for a moment, thinking about something in his mind.

"How does an accountant sound to you?"
