MINE

CHAPTER - 5

Scarlett's POV:

It's been 2 months of me working for Ashton. I'm extremely happy that my life's been going in the good way that I want. I made a few friends in the office. Lia's got pretty close to me in quite a short period. A month ago, I met Mike, he works in the executive department.

"Do you think you met him? No idiot! you literally made him fall on his butt by bumping into him".

Yeah, we first met when I bumped into him and he fell so I helped him up and that's how we became friends.

Speaking of friends, I'm so happy for Ami because Ethan proposed to her, and let me tell you she's on cloud 9 and now they are engaged. They also moved together. At first, I was sad since I have to live all by myself in the flat but it's alright because Ami is so happy moving in with Ethan. She left her car for me to use so I'm happy.

Ashton and I are doing pretty good, we've become good friends, although he had never asked anything about me nor said anything about him. But he'd been so nice to me. After work, we'll leave the office at the same time and he'll ask me about my day and tells me about his, but that's all.

I know it's not right but I don't know I somehow feel connected to him. I like him, in fact, I like him a lot and I'm so attracted to him, I can't help it. I want to know more about him.

I was setting coffee on his table, bending over it, and arranging his table. Ashton's still not arrived at the office today. He'd never been late to the office. I was totally buried in my thoughts when "Nice view," he said. I quickly regained my posture and turned around to see him smirking.

Did he just talk about my butt?

"Of course not. You're imagining, why would he even look at you? Did you look at yourself in the mirror?" 

Bad timing.

"I can't keep my mouth shut".

"Morning Scarlett," he said smiling.

"Mo..orn..ing Ashton" I stuttered. He smiled and walked dangerously close to me. My heart beating fast and loud enough for him to hear. I think my heart's gonna pop out of my chest.

"You have no idea how beautiful you look in that dress," he whispered in my ear and bit my ear lobe. I shuddered.

"Ash..t..on" I whispered unable to form words. He walked past me and sat in his chair as if nothing happened a moment ago.

What the hell just happened!?!? Did that happen or am I imagining?

I looked at him to see him smirking. I just bit my bottom lip and was about to leave just then

"Scarlett, have you scheduled my next trip to Paris?" he asked.

"Yes, it is set for next Thursday. They are expecting you on Friday," I said and he just nodded.

I was leaving his office when I heard his voice again,

"Just one final thing Scarlett," he said as I looked at him confused.

"If I look at you biting that lip again, it won't be you doing the biting," he said.

I gasped and tried to hide my confusion and discomfort at what he'd just said as I was blushing red. I believe he just said that he was going to kiss me.

"Of course, he won't kiss you! Don't go getting stupid ideas, Miss. Scarlett Cullen!" my inner voice shouted at me. On my way out I tried my best not to bite my lip which was very difficult, especially knowing that the Greek god behind me was staring at me.

I went to my office and let out the breath that I didn't even know that I was holding. What the hell just happened? I can't believe that my boss just flirted with me. As much as I know it's not right, a part of me hoped he would like me but everyone knows that he is a playboy and does not go into commitments. I shouldn't let these thoughts cloud my thoughts or my work, I mean who am I kidding he is the most desirable bachelor in the town whereas I'm just a nobody.
