When he said he was busy I thought he meant he's gonna be busy to meet me, so imagine my surprise when I arrive at his place five days later only to find it empty.

Sure he constantly texted to check up on me but evaded all questions about his well being

His housekeeper told me he has been sleeping in his office the past few days.

Stupid stubborn man!

I drive all the way to his office and walk up to the reception

"Hi! Where can I find Mr.Demetrio King? "

"Top most floor ma'am, but I'm afraid boss wouldn't see anyone without appointment but you could still try for an appointment with his PA"

She smiles and directs me to the elevator

I thank her and get into the elevator pushing the button for the top floor

The top floor consists of just his office a reception cum working area for his PA and a plush couch in the waiting area. His door his closed with his name embossed in gold on the huge mahogany door

I was seething with anger and strode towards his chamber, his PA blocked my way

"Excuse me Miss, you aren't allowed up here"

"I need to meet Mr. King please"

"Do you have an appointment? Clearly not, anyways he doesn't have time for all you Gold diggers"

"Excuse me!! What the hell!"

"Did you not understand? Get out!"

Frustrated with her antics, I dial Lucien's number and put it on speaker

"Hey sweetheart"

"Am I not allowed in places that you own?"

He chuckles at my question

"Ofcourse you're welcome everywhere darling. I told you whatever I own belongs to you too"

"OK bye"

I hang up the phone and turn to her

"Can I go now? Or do you need any further confirmation?"

She steps away glaring at me

At this point I couldn't care less about his bloody rude assistant. I barge in to his chamber

Three pairs of eyes look up at me surprised. Lucien has a business like face quickly changes to pure joy before the mask falls back in place

"We'll continue this later" he commands and the rest get up to leave

I take this time to observe his face. He has dark circles beneath his bloodshot eyes and now sports a  five o'clock stubble

"Hi sweetheart"

"Don't hey sweetheart me! What the hell are you upto? Have you seen your face in the mirror? Did you even sleep a wink in the past few days?" I shout at him angrily.

"I have this really important project baby"

"Just shut up! And come with me. I need you in bed right now"

He smirks and I realise the insinuation

"If you utter a single word I'm gonna kill you! Get moving mister. Now!!"

He shuffles and packs his laptop before heading to the door following me

I glare back at the assistant who is still glaring at me.

"Is something the matter?" Lucien asks, a frown marring his face

"Nothing. Let's go"

I grab his hand and jump into the waiting elevator

*****

"You really should have let me drive" I exclaim on reaching my penthouse

"It's almost midnight and you haven't slept in days, what makes you think I'd let you drive?"

I roll my eyes at her

"I did sleep in the office for a while you know"

"Just shut up and unlock the door"

She's super sexy when she gets all demanding. I hide my smile and unlock the door

The sight that greets me, leaves me stunned.
