Book 2: The Seventeen Heirs Series; Jeon Wonwoo (SEVENTEEN FANFIC)

25: OWNED

"What do you want to have?" Wind, one of the engineers Leanne was working with, asked her while they're checking for the displayed food in buffet-style.

She met him and the rest of their team that morning. They are assigned in designing, the brain department. But honestly, she was asking for mechanical work like constructing and building the engine. She's very used to and happy to work at that department.

But for some vague reasons, they put her there. But she heard from Liz, the only girl in the team before she came, it was Wonwoo's special request to put her in that team. And she's guessing why.

"This, maybe you like this?" He pointed a finger to a dish that she terribly missed – Sashimi.

"Oh, I forgot to ask if you eat raw foods." Wind suddenly said while scratching the back of his head. "Maybe then, you're a vegetarian after all."

She laughed at the sudden reddening of his face. He looked sheepish and cute – like a kid.

"Don't worry." She said with a smile. "Actually, Korean foods are my forever favorite. And I'm not vegetarian."

"Really? Then you should taste their ramen here. It's one of the chief's special . . ."

Wind trailed as he looked behind her. And then he was starting to step back away from like as if he saw a ghost coming their direction. And actually, she can feel him coming too by the way her hair at the back of her neck stood in goosebumps and her skin prickled.

Wonwoo was nearby.

She thinks that was her sixth sense reacting to him.

"Uhm . . ." Wind stammered and even faltered as she felt her spine tingled. She turned and she's right, Wonwoo was almost behind her.

"Hi!" She greeted him happily despite his glim face.

She readily expected him to say 'hi' as well, or smile and nod, and pass them by, but he did none. Instead, he snake an arm around her waist, pulled her close to him and pressed his body into her in a plain display of intimacy like it was the most natural thing they do. And then again, for the third time that day, he stole a passionate, mind-numbing kiss from her — there in front of Wind and everybody else in that restaurant.

Yep. Kiss like that was nothing close to impersonal. In fact, it spelt 'territorial'. Like the way he was tightly holding her.

"Hi." He drawled silkily as they came up for air and stared at her with those knee-buckling, dark, molten eyes. He still looked unaffected after that surprising, well, shocking, kiss and she was far too breathless. Was that even fair?

She shut up and slightly pushed him but it seems like Wonwoo has another plan. His eyes glinted sending her a dangerous warning not to push him again, simply because he did not like it.

Well, he was definitely acting territorial.

She just smiled at him even with the fact that the news will immediately spread throughout the whole building – that their stone cold boss was kissing some girl in broad daylight. And she'll bet her dime that after lunch, the news will spread like a wild fire.

She suppressed a sigh. They will definitely hit the headlines. And Sey Chelle will be worried about her. Then she will call her again just like yesterday and they will have the same conversation. She will ask and yet, she still has no answer.

Some slippery slope.

"I came by your office but you're not there anymore." He loosens his grip on her waist. But he still had that soft tone in his voice which belied his anger. "I was hoping we could have lunch together."
