Winning the billionaires heart

Chapter 8

Elena POV

I wake up from a peaceful dream and I look outside. It's bright outside. It shouldn't be this bright at six a.m in the morning. I go pick my phone up off of the coffee table and I scream.

"Dammit!"

I run to my room and I stumble into my closet. I'm already two hours late for work. I put on a black pencil skirt, white blouse, blue blazer, and I put my hair into a quick messy bun. I don't have time to put on my shoes, so I run out the door with my high heels in my hand. A taxi pulls over and I tell him where to take me.

"Dammit."

I whisper to myself.

"Is something wrong ma'am?"

"I'm late for work. I just hope that I don't get fired."

"I'm sure that you won't."

He gives me a reassuring smile. I pay him and exit the car. My shoes are now on my feet.

I run into the main building and I have to yell for them to keep the elevator open.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

I turn to see who I'm talking to.

"Hi, John! How's it going?"

John was nice to me ever since I started working here.

"I'm good. I started dating a girl and I really like her. How about you?"

I wonder who this girl is?

"I'm not good. I'm late for work."

He laughs and I punch him in the arm.

"Mr.Montgomery probably will just give you a warning. Nothing  to worry about."

"I'm two hours late. I think thats pushing it."

We laugh together and the elevator opens.

"I take that back, you should be really worried!"

I walk slowly into the main room. I first see the secretary, but she's on the phone. She pointed towards the meeting room. I grab a coffee and go to the room. As I open the door, all eyes turn to look at me.

"Glad to see that you could join us, Mrs.Richards."

I turn to see Damon. He looks secretly pissed.

"Trust me, the pleasure is all mine."

I give him a sarcastic smile. I look around and I see a lot of Asian people. This must be the meeting for us to expand into China. This was suppose to be one of the most important meetings and I missed part of it.

"Gentleman let take a recess. I need to inform my assistant all the information she has missed."

They all go out and get coffee and I'm here all alone with Damon.

"What the hell Elena! I've been trying to call you for hours! Why didn't you answer?"

I pick up my phone and I see that I have ten missed calls. Some from the building and some from a random number. Then I see that my volume is off.

"Damon my volume was off. I'm really sorry, I didn't do this on purpose. Please don't fire me, I need this job."

I'm not going back to my parents! Damon puts his hands on my shoulders and looks me in the eye.

"I'm not firing you Elena. Is that what you thought would happen?"

Why the hell is he touching me?

"Yep. I didn't even know if you would let me in the building."

"I wouldn't do that to you. If you want this job, you can have it for as long as you want."

He looks at me with raw emotion. Why is he being nice to me? Before I know, he leans in and kisses me. His hands cup my face and he pushes me close against him. I pull back that instant.

"Damon what was that?"

"It was a kiss. Last time I checked."

"Why did you do that?"

"I don't know. I felt like it was the right thing to do."

"Damon you shouldn't have done that. I know that nothing will happen between us, your my boss, I'm your worker."

"Please let me explain everything. If you'll let me, I would like to take you out to dinner. I'll tell you about the girl that was in my office."

"You may take me out to dinner, but nothing more."

"We can go right after work."

The meeting continued after our conversation. After the men left, we were off to the next meeting. We had to go across town to meet the people. We both stepped into the SUV, and we were off. We sat there in an awkward silence for a half an hour.

"These people are very important. We need to get them to work with us, they were building a house and the construction team wrecked part of the house. It was part of my construction division, that did this. So we need to make a deal with them, so they don't sue us."

"I didn't know that you were into construction."

"I do lots of other stuff. You just haven't seen any of my other projects."

We reach the restaurant and I see a car that look familiar. A black Audi. Damon opens the door to the restaurant and we go to a private room.

"Hello Mr. And Mrs.Reynolds. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

Shit!

It just had to be my parents.

Hope you liked it!!!!
