The Billionaire & The Maid

Chapter-22

"Would you ever run away with me?
Would you ever take a chance with me?
Would you ever take a leap with me?
Would you ever change the frequency?
Would you ever hope for a never ending?
Would you ever hope for a new beginning?
Would you promise not to break?
Would you give chance opportunity?
Would you?"

-Would you ever?: Skrillex feat. (Poo Bear)

Dennis's POV:

I can't believe she'd blurted something like that in that moment. The kiss we shared was what's been occupying my mind all night long. She could be sweet and fiery at the same time. Now I'm daydreaming instead of focusing on an important deal I'm about to sign. There must be another reason she was willing to work for me apart from earning a huge amount of money.

"I know you're thinking why all of a sudden Jackie was offering to work for you, right?"

That's the curse of allowing your bestfriend a pass inside my office. He'd barge in anytime he pleases and that sometimes infuriates me, like now.

"Yes, because she refused to when I pleaded. And this is none of your business, so get out of my office please."

My secretary walked in holding a tray of two beer cans. This must also be Bobby's doing.

"You can leave them here,sweet Puja. Your boss here needs some cooling down so I came to help him like the bestfriend I am."

I gave him a deadly glare. A can of bear can't cool me down if that's what he's been planning to do but I can't put it pass him. He will come with something ridiculous that will ends up in a mess.

"You can leave now, Miss Arora."

"Yes sir."
She's an Indian origin living in London and a very intelligent one. I recruited the best for my firm.

"Now drink this up, Knowlden boy."

"No. I don't have the time to leisurely drink a beer can at a time like this. I'm busy so you can leave."
He started gurgling with the beer right in front of my desk spilling it on the papers.

"Bobby James Crawford!!! You'll die in my hands some day for sure. You spoil my precious deal!"
I helplessly shouted at him for spoiling the papers.

And he laughed like I just made the funniest joke.

"Chill! That's a mere simple thing for people like you."

"People like me? You sure do know how to make a joke at yourself. Now, tell me what do you want so that I can make you leave sooner."

"What's with this attitude? You can't get rid of me easily. And I came here to see you and how you're doing."

"Well, I was doing just fine until you spoil everything right after coming in. What can you do about it, huh?"

"Sorry. Alright."

He did something wrong and later apologized was his routine ever since we knew each other. It's an old news.

"Like apologizing is a new trend for you. I really need to work and I have a meeting after 15 minutes so you have my 10 minutes. Use it wisely, Spongebob."

"Hahaha... that was named by Corrine when we were grade four, wasn't it?"

"Well... if you don't have any brain malfunctioning lately, that's correct."
