My Sexy Ceo Billionaire Playboy

Chapter 12

Lex POV

Shit. Shit. Shit.

I messed up. I start to catch my breath. I lost sight of Rachel. Damn it! That damn liar, Staci. I should of known better than to trust her.

Why do I feel so guilty? My chest feels tight... but I just attribute it to all the running.

Why did I run after her? After I saw the hurt and disgust in her face my first instinct was to chase after her...

"Dang it... where is she!?" I growled as I looked around. Damn it. Forget it. If she wants to run away, let her!

I still had a gnawing feeling in my chest as I walked back to my office.

I entered my office and Staci was still in there. A sly smirk on her face. She had her legs crossed, her hair in a mess and her blouse almost unbuttoned.

I sat at my desk not saying a word.

"So, shall we continue?" She purred as she started walking towards me.

"Staci." I said in a monotonous voice. I looked her in the eye, "You're fired."

"Wait...wh-wh-what!?" She screamed. "I've been your secretary for three years! What do you mean!?"

"I don't have to explain myself. Now get the hell out."

"This is all because of that damn bitch Rachel isn't it!? WHAT THE HELL IS SO DAMN SPECIAL ABOUT HER."

I contained my anger as I pressed the intercom and asked the security guards to escort her out. They instantly came in and dragged her out as she shouted obscenities.

Was she right? Why did I care so much what Rachel thought? When I kissed her it felt different. It wasn't just pure lust, there was a purity to our kiss.

I just hoped to hell she would come back to work.

________________________

It was 9:08 pm as I entered my apartment. It was a long day at work, even longer now that I didn't have Staci.

Maybe I shouldn't have fired her.

I sighed as I exited the elevator. I started to walk down the hall when I saw her.

Rachel. What the hell was she doing here?

I see a man walking right behind her, exiting his apartment.

Wait. Was she in the apartment with him? Until this late!? My adrenaline started pumping. I resisted the urge to run up to the guy and punch him.

I turned a left into a hallway.

"Hey. Thanks for tonight. I've been such a mess." I heard Rachel say. These empty marble hallways really magnified anyone's voice.

"No problem, it was great seeing you again. Do you want me to take you to your-"

"No it's already so late... I'll just head home."

"Alright. I'll see you..."

I heard the guy walk into his apartment and close his door. I was neighbors with this jerk.

Rachel began walking towards the elevator. Once I heard her make her way to the elevator I made my way towards her.

"Who was he?" I asked right when I peeped behind her.

"LEX!" She said startled at my presence. "What the hell are you doing here!? Are you stalking me?" She said trying to recover from her shock.

"Au contrare mon cheri. I live here. If anything you're stalking me. Who was that jerk?" I asked again losing my patience.

"Why is it any of your business!?" She huffed.

I grabbed her by her chin and brought her face closer to mines. "Because seeing you with another man is driving me insane. Now who is he!?"

I saw her cheeks tint pink.

She shifted her face out of my grip and looked away. "Leave me alone! You damn playboy. I'm tired of your games."

"Games?"

"I saw you kissing Staci! How can you do that after kissing me?"

"My dear Rachel. Don't tell me you're jealous?"

"JEALOUS!? ME!? Rachel Steele!? HA! I'm just disappointed my first kiss was taken by by a disgusting pervert like you!" She laughed trying to play it off like it didn't effect her.

"You didn't seem disgusted when it was you who I was kissing." I teased.

"Pfft. It's because I was caught off guard. If you ever kissed me again I'm sure I'd throw up in my mouth." She said as she crossed her arms.

"You have a way with words Ms. Steele..." I said as I grabbed some stray hairs on her face and tucked it behind her ear.

"Well whatever. It's not like I care..." She rolled her eyes pushing away from my touch.

"Oh really." I challenged as I leaned in closer.

"Yeah kiss Staci all you want. You pervert."

"I can't do that." I whispered.

"And whys that mister pervert?" She seemed interested.

"I fired her."

"What? Why?"

"She lied to me. I can't tolerate liars. And since she already oriented you. I plan to see you in my office first thing tomorrow."

"Bu-but..."

"Oh right. We didn't discuss your wage? The position pays 46 dollars an hour. Time and a half for over time. Paid time off. The works." I watched as her eyes sparkled.

"You've got to be kidding me." She whispered.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I smirked as I leaned down to her level and pecked her on the lips lightly. Even though I wanted to do more.

"Hm,you don't seem disgusted to me?" I laughed as I walked to my apartment. Seeing Rachel speechless and in shock entertained me more than I liked.
