Untamed

Chapter 7

Emily's POV

As soon as I pulled myself together, I pushed him back and slapped him across his face angrily. He grinned arrogantly and ran his tongue over his lips.

"Never kiss me again!" I warned him in frustration and opened the door. I got out of the car and slammed the door behind me.

"Hey! I told you to be gentle with my girl!" He snapped behind me, frustrated. I ignored him and walked towards the entrance.

I closed the door behind me as soon as I walked into my office. I leaned against the door and ran my fingertip over my lips. I still felt his soft warm lips on mine.

I sighed and murmured. "Jerk!"

A week later

I was waiting for Cody in my office. So we could go to a meeting together. He had to arrive twenty minutes ago, but he hadn't still arrived. I checked my wristwatch, annoyed. If he couldn't arrive in five minutes, we were going to be late. I called him a few times, but his phone was turned off. I grabbed my bag angrily and stormed out.

I parked my car in front of the blue-eyed jerk's penthouse building and got out of the car. I came here once with Cody when he wanted to grab his file, but I was waiting for him in the hallway while he went to get the paperwork.

I breathed deeply, trying to calm down while staring at changing floor numbers. A few minutes later, the door opened, and I saw Cody, wearing nothing but his boxers. He was so sexy. I couldn't take my eyes off his perfect sculpted abs. I cleared my throat as I finally managed to avert my gaze, blushing.

"Emily?" He murmured, surprised.

"Do you know what time it is?" I snapped, frustrated.

"Umm...I..." He mumbled nervously.

Suddenly, a girl in his shirt walked into the hallway. My eyes widened in shock. I gritted my teeth in frustration, clenching my fist.

I was waiting for him, but Mister was fu...

Calm down, Emily! Calm down! He isn't worth it.

"How long should I wait for you?! We have a meeting in a few minutes." I snapped.

My jaw dropped in shock as I saw another girl who had a towel wrapped around her approaching the other girl. Cody gave me a confused look and turned around.

"Umm... Would you come in?" He asked, embarrassed as he traveled his gaze from her almost naked conquest to me.

"I... I will wait for you in the car. This is already too crowded in here. Be quick!" I said bitterly, looking away. I was sure my cheeks were crimson red.

"Umm...Ok. I will get ready and come downstairs." He stated, nodding while rubbing his neck.

I was waiting for that bastard in my car, my hands wrapped around the steering wheel tightly. I felt so angry.

Jerk! Brat! Asshole! Walking STD! I hate him. I hate him.

Ugh! He even kissed me. Who knows which diseases he has!

I don't understand what girls find in him. He is an insensitive playboy.

A few seconds later, I saw the girls leaving the building. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

Stupid!

Of course, they jump on you because of your money. Otherwise, why do they want a playboy like you?! Not because of your mesmerizing crystal blue eyes which make you drown in them, silky light brown hair which makes you want to run your fingers through it, nor his dazzling smile which warms your heart.

Ugh! What the hell with you, Emily! Will you continue complimenting that bastard?!

Ugh! I hate you, Cody!

A few minutes later, finally, the blue-eyed jerk left the building. He looked so handsome in his navy blue suit.

Emily! Shut up! If you compliment him again, I will slap you.

As soon as he got in the car, I snapped, frustrated. "You are an unreliable man child. You should grow up! Your father should not trust you in this important project."

"Hey! Stop! You are not my mother, and you don't know me properly. I will prove you are wrong." He stated angrily.

"Be late the next time and..."

"I will not!" He exclaimed, cutting me off.

****

Today I had a meeting with Cody. It had been the first meeting since his promise. We would see today if he kept his promise or not.

I grabbed my bag and went downstairs. He was going to pick me up in front of the company. When I left the building, I got surprised as I saw Cody's black Bugatti.

As soon as he saw me, he got out of his car and approached me.

"Good morning." He greeted me, giving me his signature smile and opened the door for me.

"Wow! I didn't wait for you to come in time." I admitted.

"I keep my promises, Feisty." He stated arrogantly and winked at me. I rolled my eyes and got in the car.

He closed the door for me and approached the driver side. He got in the car and turned his head towards me.

"I forgot my files for the meeting at home. Do you mind if we take them on the way?" He asked.

"I don't mind. We have some time before the meeting." I nodded, giving him a smile. He grinned and started the car.

"Welcome." He said, smiling as he headed us into his penthouse. I gave him a slight smile and looked around without taking more steps inside. The penthouse was decorated tastefully. Main colors were grey and white. I folded my arms over my chest and looked through the large windows as I remembered the last time I had come here while Cody was searching for his file.

"Why are you standing there? Make yourself at home. Would you like something to drink?" He said, giving me a charming smile.

"No. I don't want anything. Be quick." I replied.

"Ok. Then at least sit down." He suggested warmly.

"No. I will not. Just be quick." I sighed, running my hand through my hair.

"Why? Don't worry. I will not ask you to pay for it." He teased, giving me a signature smirk.

"I don't want to sit because I don't know where you didn't fuck your conquests. I am sure you already had sex on the all surfaces in your penthouse." I commented dryly and rolled my eyes.

"No, I didn't... Umm..." He mumbled, pointing to the furniture in the living room while looking around, thinking. Then he lowered his arm and gave me a boyish grin as he shrugged his shoulders.
