"Don't be shocked, you didn't plan on being anonymous forever did you?"

" Well, then I guess I am fired. I'm sorry for the inconveniences I must've caused during my short term stay" I took my bag.

He knew all along that I was the one who has been sleeping secretly in his house and am sure that was why he was tough on me yesterday.

He brought his hand to his lips and chuckled. "Short term. Really? Did you want it long?"

Did I really say that? I am sure it wasn't on purpose.

"Well, I am sorry." I apologized due to lack of words.

I didn't want him to tell me to leave before I do so I turned to the door and began to walk.

"I never told you to leave miss Grande. I'm still talking to you. "

I stopped and held my bag tightly.

" What else is left to be said?" I didn't want to hear the word 'you're fired.'

" There's in fact a lot I want to talk about and they're far from ' you're fired.' "

He read my mind.

I turned to him and he gestured for me to sit.

I walked back to his large mahogany desk and placed my bag on it.

" I have an offer for you." He let out.

"Which is?" I asked and faced him squarely.

" Be my architect."

" What? Why?.."

" Because I know you're the one who did my drawing for me, Miss." He cut me off.

" Well, that's not my field. I am not good at it. I only drew it out of boredom and I believe they won't be the best"

" But they actually were. I loved it and so does everyone."

" You do? And what do you mean by everyone?" I quizzed.

" Yes, I had a presentation and when I presented your work, everyone was wowed." His crystal sea blue eyes beamed at me but I refused to be convinced.

" I don't want to. It's either I'm an economist or accountant, if it's none of them, then I won't do any other work." I stood my ground.

He gave me the 'are you serious look'.

" Suit yourself." He sat back on his chair and focused his eyes on the laptop in front of him, ignoring me totally.

"Meaning? "

"You can start work NOW!" His voice was a bit harsh.

And the disappointment was visible on his face.

I didn't know what to make of this wonderful news. I'm employed to do something I love doing but why can't I seem to be happy about it?

"Thanks.."

"Go to my secretary, she'll lecture you thoroughly on the pros and cons of the company. The formalities as well. She'll tell you everything. Now leave." He rushed his words with a serious look.

I loved the way he made his face as he rushed the words and the way his heart-shaped pink lips moved effortlessly. His lip is cute.

From where I stood, I could see how dented yet smooth his jaw was.

Not a single stubble could be seen. His eyebrows were perfectly thin but thick and if I were to be close, I am sure I'd get to know just how long his lashes were.
