My Dominating Apollo

Chapter 5

CLARISSA’S P.O.V.

After parking my car in the parking lot, We both walked through the lobby towards the elevator. We stepped inside the elevator and reached the top floor where Mr. Mathew's office was located, We both stepped out of the elevator and walked through the empty floor towards his office. Only the sounds of our heels filled the floor, it was so quiet and intimidating. 

As Lydia pushed the door open, I saw Lillian, sitting on the sofa and staring at someone in front of her. I stepped inside and saw that tall man sitting on the sofa with his right leg over his left leg and a magazine in his hands.

Hearing me walking in, Mathew looked up at me, "Clarissa, please sit down, I need to talk about something!" He said folding the paper he was reading. 

I nodded and sat down on the sofa next to Lillian, who was still gawking at that tall guy. I glanced at him and turned my complete attention towards Mathew, "That guy just tried to destroy my business, I don't want to make this issue a scandal and media shouldn't know anything about this arrest and the accusations he put on me, Clarissa I trust you can handle this!," he said looking at me, I smiled and nodded my head. 

He smiled at my gesture and turned his head towards Mr. Sexy who was looking back at him. "You know what to do," he said, for which Mr. Sexy gave a small smile. 

Mathew turned to me, "I need you both to work together to solve this problem okay," he said and a bomb dropped in my heart. I glanced at Mr. Sexy who was not bothered about Mathew's decision. 

I quickly turned my head towards Mathew and cleared my throat and gained his attention. 

"Mr. Mathew, I prefer working alone," I said trying to make him change his decision, but the way Mathew dropped his smile I immediately understood that it's his final decision and he's not going to change that. 

"I need you both to work together, I hope you understand Clarissa!" He said with a pleading look on his face. 

I sighed, "Okay," I said while I glanced at Mr. Sexy.

"Thank you," he said, smiling at me and turning his head towards Mr. sexy. 

“Did I introduce you both to each other?” he said looking at me and back at Mr. Sexy, however, he didn’t even glance at us.  

I just stared at him without giving any response to his question, “Okay...Clarissa, this is Apollo,” he said pointing his hand towards him, “And Apollo this is Clarissa,” he introduced and to my surprise, Mr.Sexy acknowledged my presence for the first time. He turned his face towards me and gave a small smile, just moved his lips upwards. He was so attractive when he did that, it took me a sec to snap back to reality and smile back. He turned his head back to the magazine and ignored all of us. 

“That’s it all for today, let me know if you need something,” Mathew said while walking around to his desk.

I nodded my head at him and turned around, As I walked towards my office Lydia followed me behind. I walked inside my office and sat down in my chair, my head began throbbing with pain. Mathew’s words were still running in my mind making me very irritated at the fact that I had to work with someone I don’t even know or heard about before.

I took a deep breath and tried to relax but this headache was increasing by passing minute, “Lydia,” I whispered, 

“Yeah….Clarissa?... Are you okay?” she asked as she walked towards me and took my hand in hers,

“Can you get a cup of coffee for me, please,” I asked while holding my head with my two hands. As I touched my head, it was burning as it would explode at any moment. I began massaging my forehead with my fingers as I pulled the drawer and searched for the tablets, all of sudden my phone began ringing making my head hurt more because of the sound. I quickly grabbed the tablet sheet and took a tablet out. I reached the water bottle as I put the tablet inside my mouth and gulped it with water, I  closed my eyes and placed my head on the table.
