The Billionaire's Lost Lady

Chapter 32: My Office, Your Rules

Selene

Jace had gone to work earlier than I thought and I was still wrapping up the kitchen. I had no idea what my life was becoming since I met Jace at his office and our worlds collided. I was falling in love with him again and on top of that I was still his employee.

Instead of sitting at his place, I cleaned up the apartment, and took transits to my own place. I'd texted Jelly to leave me a key under the doormat and she'd done exactly that. The best thing was that she left it under a pile of mud giving it a disgusting look. I laughed shuffling the key out and getting in.

The apartment was the same but it felt alien to me. I licked my lips and went to my room. My stuff was still where it was supposed to be and it seemed as though Jelly didnt move anything. I snickered at how much she hated cleaning and was determined on staying that way.

Quickly cleaning myself up, I changed in a bright red one piece jumpsuit. The back was slit down to the middle of my back and the built in bralette in the dress allowed me to wear it without an extra garment. The pants of the suit came down to my ankles and was straight lined, and the torso was sleeveless.

Did I look too much?

I put a tinted red lip color with slight mascara on my eyes. My face looked fresh due to wash so I didnt have to do powder.

I was scared to enter the building when I finally reached it. I had my laptop bag hanging in my arm and my short black heels werent helping me up the steps.

"Ma'am." I heard a gruff voice behind and almost yelped turning on the second bottom step. The man was my height even if standing on a step lower than mine. He had an earpiece attached to him and he wore a suit like the men in black. I gumped loudly at the sleek black hair and dark shades.

"Mr. Anderson's asked me to escort you to his office." He suggested, not looking my way and I looked up at the building. Staring at the large glass exterior of it, I cussed under my breath.

Damn CEO.

"Okay." I pushed a strand back from my face and he led me into the building. I kept my head bowed, trying to ignore the murmurs around me.

"I need a coffee." I asked the guy and he led me to the cafeteria.

"Hi." I kept my head low but high enough to see the bubbly looking woman's face. She was round and short with a big pink smile and hair net in her bob brown hair.

"Hello, dear." She cupped her hands together.

"Coffee with one sugar?" I asked and she nodded. She came back with a paper cup wrapped in a large brown sleeve. I walked over to the condiments station and stirred one sugar packet in. Capping it with a lid, I followed the large man out, still ignoring the eyes on me. My heart relaxed when we were in the elavator and the man pressed the button to Jace's floor.

The floor was quiet. I didnt see Candice behind her table and sighed when the guard stayed in the elavator as it shut on him. Time to face the music.

I knocked on his door with a trembling hand and no sound came from inside. What if he was with her?

My brain argued but then I frowned. We'd spent every night together in his bed. Doing things that hadn't happened for me since Jace from ten years ago  he was my first and had been my consistent. He wouldnt play with me. I knew it in my heart. I clutched onto my bag and opened the door slowly, holding my breath. He was sitting on his chair, with eyes closed. His fingers crossed in front of him and elbows rested on the seats arms.

"Hello?" I gulped and his eyes shot open. The stern expression on his face was suddenly clouded with a deeper frown. His shade was dark and I didnt know what caused it. He stood up and walked around the table slowly. I noticed how he was dressed in the darkest hue of brown pants and white shirt that I'd laid out for him this morning.
