Burning Passion(ONGOING)

SIENNA'S POV:

'Stay'

Those were the exact words he said me. What does he want now? Not happy with hurting or wanting to hurt me more. Why does he have to be like this.

"Why? Why do you want me to stay?" I said my voice going up.

"I wouldn't talk like that with me if I were you." he said calmly as if challenging me to raise my voice again.

Damn job.

I pinched the bridge of my nose and said, "Yes, sir." in a sickly sweet voice mimicking Ms. Miller.

"Sit down." I sat down on the chair in front of him and cursed him in an inaudible voice.

"On the couch." What the hell!

"Who's going to give me the information since Ms. Sick here was busy showing her body and was escorted outside?" I spat out immediately knowing that I am really to getting fired today.

"Firstly, I'm not the one who stops doing some work just because of silly women even if they're showing bodies or dreaming. Work is work and it'll not bee avoided at any cost. So Ms. Davis please settle down because I'm going to give you full information about what your job is."

"You?" I raised an eyebrow.

He replied to me by glaring at me with his cold eyes. I looked down as I could feel his eyes on me making me self-conscious. I snuggled a bit on the couch fiddling with my pen. He took all the files kept on the desk which were by the way a bunch.

He sat on my opposite, his unique eyes staring at me. One ready to drown me into them and the other warning me as if ringing bells to keep away from danger. I felt goosebumps on my entire body as our eyes met. I gulped noticeably as I held his gaze. My breath quickened as he continued looking at me. Heat burning through my skin as if I was on fire, I looked down blushing and clutched my hands tightly. After a few seconds I heard a loud sound.

Looking up I saw Mr. Ellison open a file which he had probably slammed on the table.

"If you are out of your tomato moment then please concentrate on me." I always concentrate on you. "On my hands to the file I'm holding." He said somehow reading my inner thoughts.

I nodded and looked down at him.

"Let's start." I said going into my work mode.

"So first we'll be starting with the government security provision and then softwares and then games. So this file..." And then he continued on for hours. And while he spoke about computers and technologies with a twinkle in his eyes. He was so attentively explaining it to me that he had completely forgotten about his cold façade. It felt as if he was talking to computers. I continued observing him while listening to him.

"Come here." He said showing me a feature of a game.

I went near to him and he put the laptop on my lap and stood behind me. He bend down behind me as his one hand came around me and his other hand on my hand controlling the options. His eyes glued to the screen as he continued talking about what extra effects he would give. I tilted my head and looked at his face. My eyes were on level with his lips and I could easily see his green eye. This was the first time he was so close to me. I could feel his hot breath on my skin as my heart started beating loudly.

My shoulders stood straight as my body reacted of its own accord to the close proximity of him. I continued looking at him and smiling. I closed my eyes in pleasure. Who knew that there is a talented tech engineer who is wrapped in a business suit instead of sitting in front of the computer. His fingers typed faster than I could blink. It felt as if codes were rhymes for him. All in all the only thing I can conclude is that : This guy here is one of the most talented computer engineers I have ever seen. And I guarantee that not only me but also the world.

A shiver ran down my spine as I felt a hot breath on my lips. I opened my eyes alarmed and saw a sharp nose near to my lips. Am I really having a romantic moment with Tristan? I looked up to look at his eyes expecting warmth after he talked so happily. But all I got was a cold menacing glare. I immediately backed up against the couch. Nervous. That was what I was. Not scared. I knew he was a good person with a cold exterior.

"Did you only dream while looking at my face or even try to understand anything?" He said.

"Yeah I've heard everything. You're forgetting that even I'm a tech lover." Another thing I didn't say you guys. I am an computer engineer but my scores weren't that well. Because I couldn't give an exam nicely because I reached there late. So my grades went down and that is why I was having a hard time finding a job.

"Then show me your worth." Mr. Ellison challenged me.

I raised my head and nodded in approval.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to hack the computer of the HR department of my company."

"You mean Ellison Enterprises?"

"Isn't that my company?" He said his eyes narrowing to slits.

"I'm sorry. From where should I do it?" I asked confidently smiling. This was easy. Now I would I would make him realise that he has done the right thing by giving me this job.

He gave me his laptop and then went back to sit comfortably in his couch.

I opened the site and went back on working. After a good two or three hours I had managed to hack four layers of security. These are the highest security systems I've ever seen. And I assume that there are more two walls and they require intense coding and a secret program.

I looked up finally after a long time. My neck was aching and I saw Mr. Ellison concentrating on a file. He looked like a sculpted stone. I cleared my throat loudly and he looked at me.

"So?"

"I could manage to hack only three steps and the rest require a secret password coding."

"You hacked three layers?" He asked slight disbelief laced in his tone.

"Yeah. Though I couldn't hack the rest."

"Only the best and experienced programmers of the world can hack through the layers. A normal hacker can't even manage to enter the first layer. You are really talented. Only I can hack through the other layers because I made the security system."

"So you're not disappointed?"

"I'm happy that even my secretary is a talented cyber expert." His eyes gleamed with pride. Somehow that warmed my heart and I smiled widely. I was feeling so happy that I felt like jumping around. It was as if I've attained something very important. After all, Tristan is a hard man to please.

"From tomorrow your table will be shifted in my office and we'll work together regarding these cases. Clear?'

'Crystal." I grinned.

"Go." My eyes became wide in unbelief. Just now, he was proud and he was impressed and again acting coldly. Why am I even surprised? I've got habituated now.

"Go." He repeated a bit loudly making my happy mood sink.

Prick.
