His Redemption (MxM)

Chapter 66

Luke

We had successfully gone through all the floors and now we were at the last floor, the CEO's floor, this is where his office is supposed to be located at, he took me to his supposed office and just like the rest of the building, it was empty, with a huge glass encasing that showed outside the city, actually the whole office was made of glass, see through glass, which means from outside, you could see inside the office.

We stood in the middle of the empty office, with his hands shoved into his pocket, he looked at me, and when our eyes met, he smiled and cocked his brows
"So.... What do you think"? He asked and I swallowed, I don't know if he was referring to what I thought about the office, or how I would decorate the whole place with the furniture, but I settled on the former

"I think it's nice, it's uhm... It's beautiful" I whispered out and he pressed his lips and bit his lower lip, smiling and looking around the whole place

"Really"? He asked, his eyes shining bright, and there was this eagerness in his voice, it actually made me warm inside as I nodded my head

"Yeah, and the view is..." I started making my way towards the glass that overlooked the city, I stopped in front of it, and looked outside.
From up here he could see anything, even anybody at all

"Magnificent isn't it"? I almost jumped when I heard his low rumbling voice behind me, causing me to turn immediately and come face to face with him, he was fucking close that I could smell his perfume and cologne, I didn't know what it was, but it was strong and almost blinding

My lips parted on instinct as I stared at him, he was eye level with me, but I was bigger, more muscular
My eyes met his, mismatched color, one brown and one green, his eyes left mine briefly and rested on my lips, causing me to swallow hard and lick my lips, he was close, too close.
His eyes found mine again and he smiled, before he took a step back, giving me my space "sorry" he whispered, and I swallowed again and moved away from the window, I don't know what that was, but it was fucking crazy, my heart was beating wildly and my palms had suddenly gone sweaty, what the fuck is wrong with me?

I don't usually feel like this in front of anyone, the only person that had ever gotten me this bothered was.... I quickly shook my head, not the time.
"So what do you think"? He asked again, still looking at me "about the decoration of course" he added quickly and I nodded, realizing that was what he had been talking about before

"Uhm.... I...." I shut my eyes, stumbling over my words, I shook my head to rid it of any thoughts, so I could speak properly "I'll go down and start giving them instructions on where to put them" I rushed out and he pressed his lips together and nodded his head

He walked towards me and stood in front of me "shall we"? He asked and I nodded wordlessly before we both walked out of the office and made it towards the elevator, it was another long minute of silence and awkwardness between us, I didn't look at him this time though, because I didn't want to make this encounter, more uncomfortable for both of us than it already was.

"Is it just because it's me or you don't talk much"? He suddenly asked, and I looked at him through the elevator door, he had his brows cocked up and I blinked slowly before I looked away from him, my mind dwelling on the question he just asked me, am I really this quiet because of him, or I'm usually like this?
I tried to think back to the other times I've been around other people and it was nothing like this, I'm not a talkative or anything, but I'm usually not this quiet around other people, but why am I suddenly so quiet around him?

I bit my lips and looked back at him through the elevator doors and he still had that questioning gaze.
"If my question made you uncomfortable I'm sorry" he muttered, but his eyes was telling me that he wasn't sorry at all, but all the same I shook my head
