Ch.Seven

"I apologize for being late." Sebastian said coolly, as Mr. White and his daughter, who happened to be Rose, stood up from the couch to greet Seb. Great, out of everybody it had to be her. I rolled my eyes behind Seb's back. He was so much taller and broad compared to my petite body that I was almost completely hidden behind him.

"It's alright Mr.Ace." Mr.White put on a polite facade, hiding his annoyance. Fake.

"This is my daughter, Rose. She told me you guys met at the mall so I allowed her to tag along. I hope you don't mind if she sits in our meeting." Mr.White reached his hand out and Sebastian shook it.

"I don't mind." Sebastian motioned his free hand, indicating the both of them to sit down.

He pulled his hand away from mine, putting it on the small of my back, pushing me gently toward his desk. I took a seat on his huge chair behind his desk, pulling out my phone. The father and daughter gave me a questioning look, probably wandering why I was here and moreover, sitting on the boss's chair.

Sebastian sat down on the couch, opposite them. The meeting start and I can here Rose tried to chimed in every now and then. I smirked in satisfaction when Seb didn't pay any attention to her, even though she desperately tried to impress him with her knowledge in the business world.

A whole boring hour later they were finally done, this was even more boring than school.

"Goodbye, Mr.Ace." I heard Rose's sickly sweet voice. Looking up, she smiled at Seb, "I hope to see you at my birthday party soon."

Who said anything about birthday party? I sat back up, straightening my back. Did she invite him to her birthday party? Wow, how can I missed that?

Seb only nodded in acknowledgement, his secretary came back in to lead them out.

After they left, he walked toward me and sat on the edge of his desk, his front facing me, hands in both of his pockets.

"You're going to her party?" I visibly cringed.

He chuckled deeply at my expression and nodded.

"Can we go home now?" I changed the subject and watched as he nodded.

^.^

I stood behind the glass box filled with expensive, high end watches, waiting patiently as the woman in front of me looked through the collections.

I decided to get a job and here I am, working part-time as a salesperson in a high-end watches store. Truth was, I didn't need a part time job, I wasn't in need for money or any other luxury, since Sebastian made it clear that he would provide me with everything I needed. I just got the job because I was bored, didn't feel like doing nothing.

I only took the weekends shift, my co-workers who took the same shift as mine were also mostly students.

After choosing her desired watch, she paid and left. I like these kind of customers, easy and not troublesome. While the others, not so much.

It was a big store with cameras everywhere, considering it was filled with thousands of dollars' worth of watches.

I watched as the glass door pushed open, Sebastian walked in with his black suit, looking great and neat as ever. I was taken back, it has only been my second week on the job, I didn't actually have the chance to tell him I worked now. But I shouldn't be too surprise that he knew, he had eyes everywhere.

My co-workers immediately fixed their postures and uniforms. Sebastian was very handsome, but at the same time he had a cold demeanor. His presence was intimidating and everything about him screamed danger and wealth. He always wore the same cold, blank expression and everybody knew him but never see him smile once, except me.

Three of the staffs gathered up their courage and welcomed him, asking him questions about his preferences in watches and so on. Although he was indeed hard to approach, they had to make sure they secured a sale. We worked in retail and there were sales goals that we had to reached each month. The pay was quite high but people in retail survived off commissions. If someone as powerful and wealthy, like Sebastian, walked in, it meant that the commission will be mostly likely high and we reached our sales faster. So they took it as an opportunity, to try to get him to buy a watch from them.

I was pretty sure he didn't hear anything, since his eyes was focused on me. I gave him a look asking why was he here. He walked toward me, his shoes making loud thuds against the floor. The girls that approached him seem shocked as he blatantly ignored them. Amy, the co-worker I talked to the most, stood beside me and she looked absolutely terrified. I can't blame her, he had that aura.

I decided to play it cool, "Good afternoon Sir, how may I help you?"

Sebastian's eyebrow rose in amusement, "Give me something you would think suits me best." His deep voice echoes in the store and my co-workers swoon.

"Right this way, Sir." I guided him to the center of the store, where the most expensive collections laid. If he's already here, might as well reach my sales and get extra money for ice cream.

I unlocked the highly-secured glass box and took out three different diamond watches and laid it out in front of him, he didn't actually look at any them since his eyes followed me the entire time.

"You can choose from these." I said taking the last watch out.

He shook his head slightly, "Whatever you liked."

I gave him an annoyed look and he smirked a little putting his left arm on the glass. He already had a watch sitting on his wrist, I put that on him this morning. The reason why I chose to work in a watch store out of everything else was because I became familiar with the different styles since Seb allowed me to choose his daily watches. He had so many watches in his closet, it could've been a store in itself.

Out of habit, I unclasped the watch off his wrist smoothly and replaced it with a new one for him. I know his style, what he liked best, so it didn't take long for me to decide.

He handed me his card and I packed his old watch for him, since he didn't take the new one off. With the unbelievably expensive price of this watch, I already surpassed my sales. Hell yeh, a newbie just made a $120k sales. Oh the power of connections.

I held the bag to him, but he didn't take it. Instead he gestured for me to come closer. I slightly shook my head trying ti not let others see our silent exchange, everybody was watching us. He just stood there waiting for me to come to him, I shook my head once again.

We're in my work place, Seb. I can't. I knew he heard it, he can read minds. I'm honestly jealous.

He rose one of his eyebrows up, giving me a so what look. Sighing, I went around the counter and stood in front of him, handing him the bag once again. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his chest. I was short and he was tall, my face buried into his chest and that moment I knew I was going to be fired. I pulled away, annoyed and he chuckled kissing me on forehead before snatching the bag from my hand and left.

I looked around and everybody was staring, dumbstruck. Including the manager...
