Chapter 18
*TESSA
Declan chuckled showing off his perfect set of white teeth.
He looked so handsome right now.
“You don’t smell nice.”He announced.
Ouch.
I slowly sniffed my arms.
He was right and I felt embarrassed.
I’ll go home and take a shower.”
The bidding starts by 9 and we should have gotten everything in order at 8:30. Can you make it home and back in record time?”
frowned.
‘ve never being present in such a meeting before.
My team and I only have to work out the project and then it is presented by the manager or CEO.
As if reading my thoughts,he said.
You’re the one who did the calculations. You have to be there to answer any questions that might be asked.”
slowly nodded in comprehension.
t would take an hour to get home and then taking a shower and getting dressed…
And also considering the fact that it’s Monday, there’s definitely going to be traffic.
For the past week, I’ve worked too hard to let it go down the drain.
I’ll…I’ll take a shower in here.”I accepted.
Good.Make it quick before others get to the company. “He said and walked out of the office to make some printouts.
slowly walked up to the door he had pointed.
Opening it,I realized that it was a small lounge.
ran my hand through the shelves which was filled with books.
There was a bed and a desk beside it.
He must sometimes spend the night in here because I caught sight of some clothes.
Taking another door,I walked into the bathroom and exhaled.
It looked so neat and white.
I quickly ran the bathtub,took off my clothes and stepped into the warm water, sighing in relief as it helped my tired muscles relax.
I leaned back with comfort but when I recalled that I had no time to enjoy this….I had to hurry up.
When I got out of the bathtub,I dried my body and my hair.
I still felt so tired.
I couldn’t wait for tonight…I would make sure I get a good sleep.
My eyes caught one of Declan’s shirt on the small wardrobe.
I slowly walked up to it and pulled it out.
I brought it to my nose.
It smell so good.
I shouldn’t be doing this right now…but I can just see how it looks on me and quickly take it off.
So I put on his shirt and stared at myself on the mirror.
The shirt stopped at my mid-thigh…
I smiled…loving how good I felt in it.
I slowly sat on the bed.
It’s felt so soft so I laid down on it to fully feel how soft it is.
I grinned feeling so comfortable….
Tessa…Tessa,wake up!”
I woke up with a start to see Declan tapping my arm.
The furious look on his eyes erased every form of sleepiness in me.
‘Do you have any idea what time it is?!”
quickly sat up and glanced at the wall clock.
3:24!
Oh my God!
‘I’m sorry…I’didn’t mean to fall asleep…I…I just…”I stuttered.
‘Why are you wearing my shirt?”
I quickly looked down.
Damn it!
Why hadn’t I taken this off?
I couldn’t bring myself to reply to that.
“I told you to leave before the other employees get here.My secretary is in my office.Now tell me,how are you going to get out of h
I briefly imagined what would happen if Stella,his secretary catches me walking out of this lounge.
She would definitely think I’m sleeping with the boss and I know very well how fast news travels around the company.
I’m not ready to become an outcast!
I quickly stood up and grabbed Declan’s arm.
“What should we do?Please think of a way I can get out of here without being seen!”I panicked.
Instead of saying something his eyes ran through my body and then our gazes locked.
I swallowed as my breath quickened and my heart raced.
Was it because of our close proximity?
All my nerve endings were seeming more alive than usual.
He shouldn’t look at me like this.
