Billion Dollar Jerk

Unexpected Encounter |chapter 17|

The air got thick as I found it hard to breathe. I came face to face and eyeballs to eyeballs with Mr. Bradley Morganstein; the infuriating yet so attractive man who refused me a job at his company.

"I would like your best white wine" he requests staring at me intently watching my every move as though I was a rat caught in his trap. I tried hard not to allow myself to show effect he's intense stare had on me

"Anything to eat Gentlemen" I ask staring at the handsome yet harsh devil himself before swiftly breaking eye contact with him putting on a passive expression as the memory of how badly he has treated me came flooding into my head.

"No that would be all"Mr Morganstein says dismissing me with a wave of his hand as though I was a fly.

I slightly role my eyes and as I'm about leave one of the gentlemen in a black suit with bleach blonde hair that is smoothly gelled back in perfection grabs unto my wrist gently

"Are you new here miss? He asks

"Indeed I am sir" I reply a little shy before moving a stray strand of hair behind my ear.

"I wonder where you were recruited from I need to find where that might be so I could get someone like you to work for me"

"I-

"She works for me part time" Mr Morganstein cuts in" and my head whipped in his direction. He looked at me so intently, as if to dare me to test him. I felt really intimidated and when I did not speak up and counter him, his face morphed into a sly smirk.

"Your always plucking the best of the best Brad, but this time you out did yourself" the Man says and the other Men turn their heads to look at me, making me self conscious and shy.

"What can I say? I know raw talent when I seen it" He says not removing his intense gaze from me.

"I'll be on my way now gentlemen I need to check on your orders" I say unable to maintain my calm demeanor as Mr Morganstein's gaze is pierces into me, making me feel extremely uncomfortable

"Please by all means miss by the way I'm Stephen" The Sophisticated man informs with a sexy smile on his face.

"Nice to meet you Stephen" I smile even more shy this time before pushing another stray strand behind my ear.

I feel Mr. Morganstein's eyes burning into me so I turn my head slightly to look at him and his face appeared to be a little paler as he looked at me as if to say I had offended him but his eyes were strong and cold still.

I send a cheeky smile to Stephen before heading down the stairs and into the kitchen.

The orders appeared to be ready except I discovered that the most expensive white wine was only sold by the bottle.

I take the tray with the orders on it and go back up the stairs to serve the men but as I was about half way up the stairs, everything happened so spontaneously. I collided with a tall and hard body and as I was about to fall with the orders a pair of arms grab me tightly around the waist saving me but sadly the tray fell to the floor.

My heart began pounding furiously as though it were to jump out of my chest as I look at the tray. It could have been me and tray but thanks to the pair of hands I'm safe. One of the hands leave my waist and go to the back of my head hugging me to tightly into his body.

It then registers in my brain that it was a Man that saved from the fall but I was too embarrassed and scared to look up at the face of the Man.

I slowly glance up regardless but to my horror and utter shock the Man was non other than the devil himself looking at me with softer eyes for a change other than his usual stoic expression
