Give 'Us' A Chance

CHAPTER 12

ETHAN POV

"So, how do u feel?" 

"Absolutely nothing."

Ben smirked at me. Asshole. It's almost 5:30 in the morning of Friday and Ben is driving me to the airport. Today, I am going to Germany for a business trip with my boss. The moment I told Ben about my business trip was the moment he sticked to me like a leech and started sucking my brain out. I don't know why but he is teasing me with my boss's name a lot. Fucking Teenager. 

"You sure about that?" he asked again. Someone please wipes his annoying smirk off. 

"Yes, I am sure Bennette. What do you want me to feel." He immediately grinned while looking straight ahead towards the road.

"Um, nothing just you know, I thought you might be happy." He said stretching the syllables of happy too long than it was necessary. 

I sighed and turned towards the window. Just an act to show how exhausted I am with his teen acts. While in reality it's just to hide my smile that never fails to form at the mentioning of my business trip with my boss. I mean it's not that I am going on a date with her. Not even in my wildest dreams. But it just I am happy and nothing else. 

Or I can say it's been too long I have visited anywhere. 

Denial is not just a river in Egypt, you know.

"What happened Ethan?" he asked mockingly. "Why did you turn your face? Are you hiding your smile or are you blushing? What is it?" He chuckled quietly. 

Oh my God. This man is insufferable. I turned to him, and he also turned towards me and quickly gave me an innocent smile before turning his head again towards the road. Bastard. 

"All I am saying is you two won't be working throughout the weekend, whenever free try to make conversation with her or take her to lunch or dinner." Ben said. 

"Why are you suggesting this to me?" I asked although I know the reason behind it, but I want to see his audacity.  

He chuckled, "As if you don't know".

"Stop being so delusional in your life Ben, it won't end well."

"Oh really, this is not called being delusional it's called being practical in life. You have been single ass since when? Since centuries?" I rolled my eyes. "Who wouldn't make a move on someone who you can have a chance with?"

"Exactly, someone with whom we can have chance not with someone who absolutely maker her employees remember with her eyes alone that 'keep your personal and professional boundaries in check'." He paused for few seconds and said.

"Is she not beautiful?" I looked at him in disbelief with my one eyebrow raised. Did he not listen to what I just say. "Tell me" 

"Yes, she is very beautiful. But how is it related to what I just told you about the boundaries."

He grinned again. What's wrong with him?

"Well, it is absolutely related." He said with a smug.

"How?"

"You see if she clearly minds the boundaries so much then she won't have a problem to date anyone not in contact with her business." I looked at him shocked clearly not wanting to understand what he just said, he continued. "So, I would try to make a move sooner or later." He looked at me and quickly winked. 

I would have laughed at his face for clearly thinking that she My Boss who doesn't give a fuck about any men around her not even a single person, will ever want to date him. But then again, I can't underestimate him because few years ago where he was working his boss was a lady in her mid-twenties and was same as Scarlett about boundaries and all and he was just an employee there, but I don't know what black magic he did because within 2 months they started dating. After 2 and a half years later, he didn't want to continue working there and left that companying.
