Obsession

Chapter 5

Katya's POV:

My first day of work is done and I am happy with my work, even tho I received a last minute task I still managed to finish by the time I had to clock out.

I was afraid that I might have to bring my work with me, but luckily Tasha showed me a spreadsheet with all the employees from our department so I just had to add their families.

To be honest, my boss doesn't look like someone who throws family parties for his employees, but you never know...maybe he only looks like the Devil, but is a saint at heart... whom am I kidding...he is definitely a Devil.

Who would have believe that such a good looking guy can be that scary. Sometimes I feel like his gaze is penetrating my soul...

Lost in thoughts I didn't realise that someone is at my desk, so when I lift my eyes I shout "Shit - you scared me!" And I am faced with the Devil itself...it's like I summoned him.

"Easy there, deer - you don't wanna have a heart atack on your first day" he smiles as he adds "there are other circumstances for that" and again I have no idea if he is flirting with me...so I try to change the subject. The last thing I need right now is a womanizer boss.

"I'm sorry boss, didn't see you there"

"Didn't I say to call me Vlad?!"

"Oh right - sorry, Vlad" 

And for a second I thought I saw something flashing thru his eyes...but it was gone before I had the chance to realise what it was...

"Are you done for today - do you have a ride?"

Now that is not normal. Is he offering me a ride? He barely knows me.

"Well the tube is every few minutes" I say.

"I can give you a ride if you want - there are 10 minutes to the nearest station and it's pouring outside. So what do you say?!"

"Well, you can leave me at the station if there is no trouble"

"Of course not - pleasure is all mine!"

Yeap...not creepy at all this new boss of mine.

He let's me go first as we go to take the lift and you can almost cut the tension in the air with a knife.

What was I thinking when I agreed to let him sent me to the station. Before I know it the elevator door are opening and we are in the parking lot. Too late to change my mind now...

As we approach a Porsche...no idea what model, never been good with cars. He takes his key and opens the door and before I react he opens the passenger door for me while saying "mama raised a gentleman"

"Good for her!" I say without realising how stupid I sounded "thank you!" I add.

"So, where do you live?!" He asks while opening the GPS

"Sorry?! Didn't we agree to let me at the station?"

"Didn't I just say that my mama raised a gentlenam? What kind of a gentleman would I be if I would not make sure that my personal secretary arrives home safely - if she finds out she will be very disappointed in me"

There's literally nothing I can say to refuse him now. So I might as well just tell him the address of my flat.

The rest of the time we rode in completely silence.

"Right, so just turn left at the next intersaction and stop wherever you can" I broke the silence when we arrived almost in front of my apartament complex.

"Thank you very much!" I add "would you like to come inside for a cup of coffee?"

"Are you inviting me to a cup of coffee or a cup of "coffee"" he airquotes "do you even know what that means?!" he adds while giving me a suggestive smile and I can feel my cheeks burning.

Gosh, how much I hate my pale complexion... it's like having subtitles on your face every emotion is written on it.

I guess he sensed my awkwardness because he adds "Maybe another time!" and now he winks, I must admit he is quite handsome.

"Ok then - thank you again and see you tomorrow!" I am almost out of the car while saying this.

"See you tomorrow..." he adds, but I don't wait for him to say anything else as I strode out of the car, for some reason he intimidates me.

As I open the door of my flat Ami bursts in my arms followed by my little brother.

"Hey sis, how was your first day of work?" He asks while giving me a hug

"Great, I think I started on the right foot"

"Anything excited happened"

"Nothing extraordinary, but my boss gave me a lift home" I say "by the way, what does it mean when a woman asks a man if he wants to come up for a cup of tea?!" I add

"No way, you genuinely don't know? How did you manage to get married in the first place is a mistery" he started laughing...

"Honestly, stop laughing and tell me I think I am screwed" I add

"No, don't tell me that you asked your boss to have a cuppa. That my dear sister is an invitation to....B.A.N.G"

"No, no, no, no...." I repeat mortified.

"How will I be able to face him tomorrow?" I say "I think I'll have to resign, I'm not going back there" I add

"Relax, you'll just have to admit that you're almost a nun. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to start going out again. A rich CEO wouldn't hurt"

"Shit - I must apologies to him tomorrow and explain to him that I had no idea and no intention to ask him that"

"Yep, good luck with that" my brother adds sarcastically

And honestly I do need it...
