The Ruthless CEO

Just Friends?!

Hello everyone :)

Happy New Year! I wish all of you a fantastic year ahead and pray that all your wishes come true.

I would like to thank all my beautiful reader and especially the ones who have been commenting not only to praise the book and my writing but those who have been here during my hardest times. You guys have helped me greatly to overcome my troubles and all I can say is may God bless you always. Thank you for being by my side and supporting me. Thank you.

One more thing before you guys begin to read, I have been approached to publish this book but I have declined it because publishing it would mean taking it away from Wattpad which I was not ready to do.

Thank you once again and enjoy your reading :)

What should I do? Should I close the door and hide under my quilt and never get up from there? Or should I let him come in?

"I'm asking a fucking question AvaGrace!" Sebastian roared making me jump.

Okay I'm letting him in before he kills me here itself!

I moved my hands away from the door so that he can come in. He complied and came inside still giving me a death stare.

Once he was in, I closed the door and faced him but kept my gaze on the ground. My bare feet looked more appealing than his face.

"Care to tell me why you left the party without telling me?" Sebastian asked in a dangerously low voice.

No, I don't want to tell you! I mentally snapped at him. I kept on gazing the floor instead of him. Maybe he'll get the clue and leave.

"AvaGrace!" Sebastian said through gritted teeth. Okay, maybe I should stop testing his patience and answer.

"Hmm," I began, not even once looking at him, "I-I wasn't feeling well." Liar! My subconscious screamed at me. Damn it! Why can't I tell him that I was upset because of the fact that not only he stole my first kiss but he had the guts to say that he was talking to a client!

"What happened?" He asked in a slightly more calm way.

I nearly succumbed when he asked about me and made the mistake of looking at him. He was staring intensely at me with an unknown emotion in his eyes and it was then I realized that his hair and suit are completely wet.

"You're wet." I stated the obvious and didn't let him answer and immediately left him to go to the bathroom to get a clean towel.

I handed him the towel and stood awkwardly shifting from one feet to the other not knowing what to do.

"D-Do you want anything to drink?" I asked trying to break the uncomfortable silence.

"Whose shirt are you wearing?" Sebastian asked completely ignoring my question, narrowing his eyes at me, making my stomach churn.

Why does he care whose shirt I am wearing? But I have decided not to answer to any of his stupid questions and waked away from him and went to the kitchen to make some tea.

I heard something being thrown away on the couch which I'm guessing is the towel which I ignored dramatically and began to make tea.

Just when I was about to turn on the kettle, I felt a hand grab my arm and ferociously pushed me against the wall.

"I said, whose shirt are you wearing?" Sebastian asked in a hard tone of voice. I tried to break free from his tight grip but in vain. He held me captive against the wall.

"No one's." I replied softly. "This shirt is mine. I like to wear oversized shirts when I go to bed. They are comfortable." I have no idea why I gave so much unnecessary explanation but he seemed satisfied with by answer because I felt him grip loosen a bit but I was still being held captive against the wall.

"Good." He answered straightly. "I wouldn't want you to wear someone else's clothes." This statement had my eyes open wide.

Just when I was about to question him on what does he mean by this, there was a knock at the door.

I tried to get away from him but he was determined to not let me leave.

And the knocks became more persistent.

"It must be Mia." I told him and it was then that he let me go to get the door.

However, when I opened it, the face that I saw was not expected at all.

"What the fuck is he doing here?" An angry voice roared behind me making me jump and I turned around to see furious Sebastian glare at Jackson with his shirt wide open displaying his so delicious abs.

"Sebastian?" Jackson asked with a stunned expression on his face and just that moment, his eyes raked my body from top to bottom making me self-conscious and just at that moment Sebastian came dangerously close to me and I could even feel his body heat.

Oh dear Lord! Why did I have to wear this shirt today?!

"I came to check on you." Jackson explained his presence looking at Sebastian's closeness to me. "You didn't seem to be fine at the party."

"That's very sweet of you Jackson, thank you. I really appreciate it." I said smiling widely at him. Jackson is seriously a wonderful friend. "But I'm fine now." I reassured him. "Why don't you come in?" I asked, totally ignoring the big angry Hulk beside me. Jackson is my friend and he made such a kind gesture by checking on me.

"No, he cannot come in because it's time for him to go." Sebastian replied before Jackson could even say a word. "Isn't it Jackson?" Sebastian said in a hard voice which compelled Jackson to nod. "And don't worry about Ava, I am here to take care of her." Saying that, Sebastian wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. If Jackson wasn't here, maybe I would have loved the gesture but what he said to Jackson is seriously the meanest thing ever said to someone.

"Okay. I'll see you in office Ava. Take care of yourself." Jackson said timidly looking apologetically at me.

"Leave, Jackson." Sebastian said in a clipped tone and soon Jackson left and Sebastian banged the door and in a millisecond, I was between Sebastian and the door.

"What is wrong with you?" I nearly screamed at him for being such a jerk.

"What is wrong with me? Are you seriously asking me this fucking question AvaGrace?" Sebastian roared.

"Yes, I'm asking you this question. Jackson is my friend and there was absolutely no need to be mean to him!" I snapped unable to control my anger.

"Friend?" He scoffed. "That friend of yours want to fuck you and is probably in love with you, but that's alright, maybe you'll allow him. He's your friend after all!" Sebastian sneered making me stay limb against the door.

I can't believe he said that.

"M-Maybe you should leave." I said on the verge of tears. I can't believe he compared me to a slut.

"Ava." I hear Sebastian say and I could sense regret in his voice but refused to look at him. He sighed heavily before getting away from me.

I moved away from the door and opened it for him.

"Ava, look at me." Sebastian said voice full of regret but this time I didn't listen to him. He has to know the impact of his words.

Seeing that I'm not going to listen to any of his words, he left without saying a word and leaving me completely torn and soon the waterworks began.

I can't believe in what situation I have gotten myself into. There is a huge probability that I might be falling for my boss and he thinks of me as a slut!

Perfect!
