Stolen (Demon Romance) (FINISHED)

36 - He almost killed me

"Mistress," Will said then, glancing over at me as I typed frantically on my computer, "you're very quiet today."

I spared him an annoyed glance before looking back down at my computer. "I'm in the zone."

"Oh, am I ruining it?"

"Yes, now shut up."

He silenced then, smirking.

But suddenly I heard a voice:

"Oh, my gosh, did you hear?" a girl said. "Suki got demoted and now Will is back in her place!"

"That is SO bizarre!" another replied, making my lips thin. "Talk about unworthy. Oh, my."

I just gritted my teeth and kept typing.

"Have you noticed that Will's changed?" one of them said. "He smiles every day now. He used to be all serious and never smile!"

"I know... it just makes my hots for him hotter!"

"Also... have you noticed that Suki's kinda changed?" one of them said then, making my lashes lower. "She's all bratty and snotty now. I thought she was the nice one."

"She went for PTO for a long period of time," the other said, "maybe she bonked her head or something. Or the fact that she's been alone so long that she's going insane. Maybe that's why she's so bitchy now."

"Jessica! Don't say that!" the girl laughed.

I gritted my teeth, searing heat boiling inside me.

"Hey, girls," Will said then, making them gaze up in shock. "Did you get that paper I asked for?"

I just kept staring down at my computer, typing.

"Oh, Will!" one girl said, smiling kindly. "I'll get it for you now."

"Thanks, girls," he said then, lashes lowering. "Oh, also, get me a broom, will you? I've made a bit of a mess by the shredder."

They just nodded and went to their cubicle, gasping the papers as the other caught a broom on her cubicle, as well.

They then made their way happily over to Will.

"Thanks, girls." He winked at them, making my teeth grind as he slowly started sweeping the floors while somehow sitting at his desk.

"Oh, Suki..." one of the women said, leaning over me as I kept my lashes lowered, "have you gotten that far on the report already? You have such small hands! I didn't know you could type that fast."

I just felt my insides boil again, but I kept silent.

"No offense, of course," she said then, standing, "you're just so small! If I hadn't worked for you for this long, I might've thought you were a child or some—"

She gasped suddenly, entire body freezing in place.

I gazed up in question to find the stick of the broom inches from her face.

Will's smile sharpened as he closed one eye. "Thanks for getting me the broom. You can go back to your desk now."

Her breath shuttered when she stared helplessly at the end of the stick, clearly her life flashing before her eyes.

Will just pulled the broom away and held it out to her. "Be a dear, and put this back for me, will you?"

She hesitantly took the end of the stick, face paled as she nodded.

She then wobblily stepped over to her desk.

I just went back to typing on my document, remaining silent and pretending that this just didn't happen.

"Did you see that?" the girl said then, breath shaking.

"See what?" her friend replied.

"He... he just... I just...." She finally spit it out. "He almost killed me."

"Oh, that wasn't intentional!" her best friend said then, laughing kindly. "He was just handing it to you!"

The girl just nodded, glancing over at Will in question, but he never met her eyes.

"Are you almost done?" Will said then, glancing over my shoulder. "Your break is in two minutes."

"I'll skip my break today," I said then.

He just smiled over at me. "I must insist, my lady... take the break. You need it."

"Says the one who almost killed a girl."

"It was a threat, that's different."

I just made an impatient sound and continued typing on the keys.

He set his chin on the back of my chair, watching me write.

"Also, don't you think it's a bad idea to call me 'my lady' at work when you're my boss?" I said then. "People are going to get confused."

He just smiled. "I like making people confused."

"Everyone here suspects something going on between us. They're going to think it's a weird kink or something."

He chuckled. "All the more reason to do it."

My lashes just lowered in annoyance.

He was silent for a moment. "Your break is in one minute."

"Oh, so you're keeping track now?"

He just gazed up in amusement. "We can go to the chocolate factory as a treat."

I immediately paused and blinked, but I turned to face him. "Wait... chocolate?"

His lashes lowered as his smile widened. "Did that interest you?"

"Yes."

"Fine, then let's go." He held out his hand and stood, and I took it, letting him guide me up.
