The Ruthless CEO

Looking after her

AvaGrace's POV:

"Atchoo!" I sneezed for the nth time. "Oh God!" I whined. I have been running a fever since yesterday night.

I moaned at the pain in my stomach. Gosh, I shouldn't have eaten that mushroom risotto. Thank goodness Mia was here last night, she has helped me a lot. I don't know what would have happened if she wasn't here. I hope she has told Mr. Salvestro about my absence.

I closed my eyes for a while, waiting for the pain to subside when I heard a knock at the door. I decided to ignore it and went back to sleep when I heard the knock once more, but this time it was more insistent.

Oh my God! Who the hell is disturbing me right now?! I wiped my nose and wrapped myself in my blanket and got up from the sofa. I weakly and gradually walked towards the door and opened it but was tremendously shocked to see who was at my door, looking at me with rage in his eyes.

"Mr. Salvestro?!" I murmured in my weak voice. "Wha—atchoo!" I heard him sigh.

"Move." He ordered icily with that same angry expression on his Greek face.

"What? No." I replied making him narrow his eyes at me. "I mean what are you doing here?" I rephrased.

"I can see that you are very weak right now and it will definitely not be a problem for me to take you on my shoulders and move you from this door so that I can enter." He threatened making me move instantly away from the door.

"You haven't answered my question, Mr. Salvestro." I closed the door and slowly turned to face him. "What are you doing here?"

"I told you it's Sebastian outside the office." I saw him place a plastic bag which seemed to have something in it on the table. "And I had some work to do that needed your assistance. Knowing that you would not be in the office, I preferred to come here."

"Oh." I responded blankly. That jerk! He knows I'm sick and yet he shamelessly came here to do his work. What an ass.

And you thought he came here for you, my subconscious laughed at me.

"What are you doing, standing up?" Sebastian asked incredulously. "You're sick, come and rest." He moved away from the couch and gestured for me to get in.

"What about your work?" I asked weakly.

"We'll do it later." For once, he replied gently.

I nodded, too tired to answer. I made myself comfortable in the couch and rested my head on the hand rest. I could hear some shuffling around. I lifted my head slightly, to see Sebastian remove his suit and place it on the chair next to the island.

Oh my gosh! I could see his muscled body through that tight shirt of his. Good Lord, that man is truly a Greek God. If only I could see him shirtless and run my hands all over his body.

Oh my God, what am I thinking?! Bad, bad Ava. I closed my eyes tightly to prevent myself from thinking a naked Sebastian in front of me.

"What is wrong with you?" I heard his arrogant voice snapping me out of my not so pure reverie.

"Um, nothing." I said, trying to look at his face but failed miserable because my eyes were pulled towards that delicious body of his.

"Move your legs." He ordered, making me look at him with wide eyes.

"What? Why?" I questioned suddenly afraid.

"Just move it." He rolled his eyes at me. "I'm not going to do anything with you, not in this state. Unless you want me to." He smirked at me making me blush furiously.
