Along With The Night (The Billionaire's Love #5)

Chapter 4

Office Affairs

"Miss Washington, where is the file for Park's project?" I called my secretary. No, we didn't talk about that night. But today I am meeting for lunch with Myra and Damien there are many things I need to bring to her attention. She walked in wearing a beige dress. "Park's file Sir" She placed it on my table. She refused to stay in here more then necessary. Like right now, she is going to leave.

I stood up and held her arm. "Are you trying to flee Miss Washington? Let me tell you that will not work. It never does." "I am trying to do my work here sir. If someone sees me with you like this then..." She whispered. "Then what? Then nothing until and unless there is someone whom you are worried about, maybe a lover who will take it badly if he saw me holding you like this"

I pulled her closer so her back touched my front. "Or this?" I whispered she shivered. So, I still have some effects on her. "Please let me go" She begged. "Only if you promise not to run away querida. You run awfully a lot and it is so hard to catch you" I reached for her hairs and pulled out the hair tie out of her hairs. She looked better with her hairs open.

"What are you afraid of Violet? I am not going to hurt you, nor I am going to touch you without your consent. What I wish to do is get to know you. Is that such a bad thing to ask for?" I asked. "You don't need to know me; you think you do but you don't" she tried to pull away and I let her.

"It's alright violet, I am not going to hurt you. As is said querida, I am not going to do anything you do not wish me to. If you want to walk away. You will walk away; you can walk away. But please don't want away because if what people will think about us. Because I don't Violet. You are not just an employee. You are more than that. You are my friend. I know it before this, before all this."

I held her hand and place the wayward strand of hair behind her ear. "Please just think before you try to throw what we have, this friendship that we share beside being boss and employ. Think what you want to have. Think querida, alright?" I asked. "Please let me go Sir, I don't want to complicate things between us."

I chuckled "You already did Miss Washington, three days ago, when you pulled me in that bed, you already complicated things between us. Now you are running through my mind all day and all night long. But in reality, you are getting farther and farther away from me. And I don't know what to do about it." I told her and she gasped.

"I told you before Mr. Night those feelings, that I had about you was in past. Right now, there is nothing that I feel about you. That night I was drunk, I do not remember anything I did or what I did to you. I don't want to repeat that ever again." She is lying her body is telling me differently, she is hesitant. She is afraid. She thinks I am playing her. But I cannot play her. She is only person whom I cannot play with.

"Ok, I understand that you want nothing to do with me. It's alright Miss Washington. I will not bother you with this again. But I want you to accompany me to Greece, For our project there. We have a gala to attained there and we have a deal to finalized." I told her. "Shall I call your regular as your date?" She asked. "No, Miss Washington. You are to be my date. This Gala is a family thing. My adoptive family is there. And also, Ezra, Adam and Damien would be there too"

"My sister?" She asked "yes. Your sister, her husband, and my brothers, Samuel and Iris all of them. So, even if you don't go there as my secretary, you should be present as a family. For your sister's sake." I let her go, I know she isn't someone I should associate with. "Alright, shall I book a hotel?" "Yes, you should book rooms in the best hotel available for all of them." She nodded and left.

I watched her go. This five days in Greece is when I need to figure out what is wrong with her and I need to talk to Myra as soon as I can. I watched her sit on her desk. She picked up her phone and started to talk to someone. I don't know why I cannot get her out of my mind. She doesn't want to be anywhere near me then why I wish to be with her?

Something about it bothering me too much. Something about her is very different. Not what she had before. I need to know I cannot rest until I solve this, until I know since when it had become this way. Someone knocked at the door. "Yes, Miss Washington?" I asked. "Sir, the rooms are booked. Can you tell me when we all are leaving?" She asked.

"They will join us day after tomorrow Miss Washington however, you and I we leave tonight in my private Jet just after I conclude my work, say around eight? I expect you prepped and ready for the meetings there." I instructed her. She was about to leave when I asked her about the hotel. She gave me the address, phone number and name. Good, now I need to do some arrangements of my own to make sure that I trap her with me for the next five days. And then, she has to tell me what is wrong with her. Why is she denying this attraction between us?

Maybe I am reading too much into this, maybe I am the one who is pushing it too far. But that what I felt when she pulled me in for the first time. She is not the submissive everyone thinks her to be. And even if she doesn't stay with me, she at least can become my friend, the true friend she always thought she was,

Why? Because she was always easier to talk to. Easier than Rosa, I never could have conveyed my true feelings to her. Maybe that is why I had lost her. But she is my sister- in-law now and I shouldn't have these thoughts dwelling in my mind. But I do. I cleared my head of the way ward thoughts. I know I don't love anyone, I once loved, and I lost. I loved the wrong girl who could never love me back.

But that was in past. Now I have changed, and I have learned that family is the only thing that matters. And She is family. Like I care for Myra, I care for her too. And she needs to know that. Violet needs to know I do care. I took my car keys and walked out towards the designated meeting place I called Myra and Damien.

They had already reached. I knew it wasn't my place to tell them this, but I think they didn't notice her like I did. I called the hotel next and made a little alteration in the arrangement she made earlier. Sorry Miss Washington but desperate time calls for desperate measures. I smiled; this is going exactly as I planned it to be. She wont even have a choice but to follow my rule and play my game.

"Are you ready Miss Washington because if you don't bare your true self to me, I will make you bare your true self whether you want to or not. Violet, as I said before I always like honest people and you are far, far away from that category right now. I looked at the picture on my phone.

"Rosa, I think I am ready to make some difference, I know you would be proud at me, you wanted me to do something like that don't you? Now I am trying to make her smile, just like one day I made you smile. Hope it doesn't go wrong."
