love story

2. I don't know why I trust him

"Wait! You are burn too" He said worried.

And suddenly I start feeling the pain, pain of burn, on my right hand. I turned around to look at him.

"Seriously you were worried about me getting burn?" he said again with a glare.

But jack must be waiting. I have to give him the file. He said it's important.
"Yea but its fine. I'm fine." I said looking at the burn.

"No you're not going anywhere until we apply antiseptic on your burn."

"Look I can't, I have to give this file to my friend very urgently. So I really need to go."

He looked at my file then back at me and said, "Give me your file".

And I gave it to him without any question. I don't know why I trust him.

He then went to the receptionist and i still stood there at the same place. But right now I seriously wanted to run away. I don't know why but now I find him really intimidating.

"What's the name of your friend? And in which department does he work?" he asked.

"Jack, he works in product marketing department."

"Jack?"

I nod.

"Jack what? Jack davenport or Jack white?" he asked bit irritated.

"Oh. It's Jack McGraw."

He then looked towards the receptionist, who smiled at him, "Good afternoon Mr. Cross."

"Good afternoon Katie. Would you please send this file to Mr. Jack McGraw in the Product marketing department as soon as possible?"

How can he order her to the task? Who is he? Is he the boss, here?

"Certainly sir, anything else I can do for you?" Katie asked while taking the file from him. She sure as hell was mesmerized by his beauty.

"No. That would be all. Thank you." With this he turned towards me, "the file will reach to your friend unharmed, soon. Now can we go and put on some antiseptic on your burn?"

I didn't need to reply because he has already started walking and I followed him.
While walking he took out his phone and speed dialed 1.

"Geoffrey, I need an antiseptic for burn right now in the coffee room of first floor... hmm" and he kept the phone back into his pocket.

Then we entered a small room with coffee table in between and three chairs arranged around them. The room was small but cozy.

"Sit" he said pointing towards the chair. And I sat hesitantly, really intimidated by him. He then took a seat beside me and asked for my hand, "may I?"

And I gave it to him obediently, too scared to argue.

I don't know why the hell I was obeying this person when I don't even know his name. Okay, I know that he is someone Mr. Cross and probably he is the boss here but still I don't know his name. But still I don't know why but I trusted him, because his eyes says he is anything but a betrayer, they look very honest, I can't even imagine those eyes can harm me or anyone in any way.

I am seriously not going to forget those eyes in near times.

"You know I really am fine. It's just a small burn which would eventually heal. So, thank you but I don't think I need any antiseptic." I said as politely as I can.

But he continued observing my hand without listening to me.

Then finally he looked toward me, "Geoffrey, my butler will be here any time with an antiseptic. Don't worry. It will all be fine. Umm...? "

"Brontë Maria" I told him my name.

"Brontë?" he smirked "Which one?"

"I think I will leave that for you to decide."

He chuckled, making my heart skip a beat with the beauty of his smile.
