Burning Passion(ONGOING)

17. MORE CONFUSIONS

SIENNA'S POV:

"Wake up, sleepyhead." I felt someone moving my shoulder. It was Luca.

"Hey!"

"You need to get to the office real fast. Come on take these clothes."

"From where did you get these clothes?"

"From the wardrobe."

"And whose wardrobe is it?" I asked tilting my head sideways.

"Melissa." That single word made my memory of yesterday very clear. Was she really that close to Tristan? What if she is? I have to erase all my feelings. I won't get him anyways. Why am I even thinking about shedding tears for such an evil man?

I entered his office obviously, after knocking. For the first time he looked up from his papers but my heart didn't leap up as always. Maybe it lost hope of everything now. Maybe it finally managed to control itself after seeing him with Melissa. Maybe the presence of a female character finally did the job.

"I wanted to talk to you regarding yesterday." He declared looking at me with his unique and cold eyes. His attention didn't make an effect on me anymore. I took a seat opposite him.

"You have my full attention, sir."

"I didn't permit you to sit, Ms. Davis." He looked at me sharply.

"Sooner or later you would. I figured why waste the time." I replied not looking towards him.

"Well I expect you to stand and talk to me. You are still my employee."
My face burned with shame and humiliation. I stood up and waited for him to talk.

"Do you know anything about the incident yesterday?" He asked me after a few minutes.

"I don't know anything."

"Has this happened the first time? Do you think this is because of your involvement in Dark Web?"

"I don't know. Something like this has never happened before. I don't know what this person wants. I think he wants to harm you. Yesterday he was trying to harm you with the dagger." Those horrible memories started playing in my mind and panic set in. "I'm sorry Mr. Ellison you can also be harmed because of me." I cried as tears filled my eyes miserably. I started wiping my tears with my hands trying to hide them.

"Come here." he commanded me in his deep voice.

I went round the table to him still wiping my tears. He pulled me close by my shoulders.

"Nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here. No one will be harmed. I'll protect you. We'll solve this together."

He stood up from his chair and brought his hands to my face. I winced as he touched my neck.

"What happened? Did you get bruised here?"

"No, it's fine." I said trying to move away.

"Show me." He pushed my hair aside. The temperature of my body seemed to rise by some degrees as his fingers touched my skin. I became red when he looked at his bite yesterday.

It had become a bit purple and it was a bit painful. But nothing compared to the shivers of pleasure running through my body. He coughed to get my attention as I had closed my eyes unknowingly. Looking at his expression I understood that he was back to his arrogant self.

I went back to where I was standing.

"We'll talk about this later. Go back to your work." I bowed my head and started my work.

We continued our work in silence until lunch.

"Mr. Ellison can I go have my food?" I asked him.
