Chapter 8

"We both have finished almost over thirty minutes go. Shouldn't we get back to work now?", I ask Caleb frustrated. It's been almost an hour and half now that he's been staring at my face after he gulped his burgers within few minutes. I have some stuff to do, few paperwork, answering emails and scheduling meetings and here I am blushing my face off under his continuous stare. And the best thing I can't even ask him why he is doing this!

"Just thirty minutes? Let's stay here for some more time.", he says grabbing my hand in his.

"Caleb, aren't CFOs busy people? Don't you have any work?"

"As I said, I'm never busy for you and aren't you enjoying my company?", he makes those cute puppy eyes making me giggle. "That's my answer. Now, we're staying here."

"Caleb, please! I..."

"Having fun, Ms Davis?", a familiar husky voice echoed from my behind. He won't ever leave me alone, would he? I turn around to find a pair of fierce green eyes sending daggers through Caleb. Will he ever stop being jealous? Both me and Caleb stood from our seats facing him.

"Mr Wilson, we were just finished having lunch and we're heading back to.."

"Caleb didn't you have a meeting with the financiers today?", he asks Caleb in a harsh tone.

"Yeah, but I got it covered. My assistant held the meeting in my place and everything's fine.", he says calmly and smiles at him. I like this thing about him a lot.

"Right, you can handle everything but my secretary isn't always free to pass time with you.", he says glaring at me. Is he serious right now?

"Oh, sorry pal. But she didn't tell me she was busy. Anyway,", he looks at me with his cute smile. "Lorraine, I'm gonna have to leave you here to your boss. Lunch tomorrow?"

"Sure. See you.", I can see Daniel fuming from the corner of my eye.

"I can't wait.", he says before hugging me out of blue and making his way past us. I watch his figure disappear into the elevator before turning to Mr Angry Man.

"In my cabin. NOW!", he orders before storming out.

I leave a deep breath that was stuck in my lungs for all this time. I don't for how long I'll have to handle him like this when I really don't wanna even be with him in a room. After grabbing my things, I headed off to face my wrath in his cabin.

***

It was almost five minutes since he's been glaring at me after I entered his office. It makes me wonder how can he not get tired of being angry on stupid things or glaring at me like this!

"I saw how you were enjoying with him.", he spoke in the same harsh tone.

"Yes, I was. He's a great guy and you don't have to be always jealous about him."

"I'm not jealous, but if anyone puts his hands on what's mine, you wouldn't be able to control me how you used to before.", he stands from him chair walking across the table before landing right in front of me. "You are mine and I don't like you hanging out with him."

"What's your problem Daniel? Why can't you accept the fact that I've moved on?"

"How can you move on while I'm desperately waiting for you to be in my arms again?", he yells stepping closer to me. His blazing eyes, clenched jaw and ragged breathing sends shivers down my spine. I never thought I would face this side of him. I'm starting to miss the old Daniel. Where was the sweet and calm man I had fallen in love with?

"Did you think about this when you had that whore in your arms?", his eyes soften before stepping closer. "Did you think about me? About us?"

He leaves a deep sigh and slides his hand through his perfect hair before looking at me. "What should I do to make you believe in me?"

"Stay away from me." It was the last I wanted before but now I just want a normal life without any crying or getting hurt again.

"Lorraine,", he cups my face in his warm hands. "I'm really very sorry that I left you broken, but I didn't have a choice, dear. I love you so much. Just think for a moment, would I ever do something intentionally to hurt you when I was actually going to propose you."

It seemed like I had stopped breathing and my heart stopped beating all of a sudden. 'I was actually going to propose you.', his words kept ringing in my mind and a tear escaped down my cheek. To tell I was shocked or surprised was an understatement and no matter how quite I was, my insides were screaming.

"Lorraine, I swear I'm telling the truth. I would never lie to the only person I care about. Please, trust me...", his sweet words were disturbed and my numb self was awoken by his phone ring. He looked at me apologetically and turned to pick his iPhone from the table before frowning briefly. I wonder who might be calling him for making him down.

He declines the call placing it back and holding me in his embrace. After so long, this is the first time I wanted his hug more than anything. I hugged him back and burried my face in his hard yet warm chest and he carcassed my hair like he always does.

"Honey, do you trust me?", he asks placing his chin on my head, but before I could answer, I hear the door click open. My eyes widen, I pull back from our hug and straighten my dress before locking eyes with the lady standing at the door.

She a very beautiful blonde, about my height and blue eyes just like Caleb but his are brighter. She was wearing a short cocktail dress stopping above thighs. I frown at how informal she was and didn't even knock before entering the CEO's cabin.

She glared at Daniel before her eyes flicked to mine with a death stare. It really seemed like she will kill me any second. I looked at Daniel whose Adam's apple bobbed down and his eyes were widened. He looked scared as if he has seen some ghost.

"Daniel, are you al..."

"Who the hell are you? Get out, now!", the lady screams and storms inside right in front of us. "Daniel, how dare you to be in here with her?", she shoots a death glare at me before ripping me off of him and holding his hand.

I stood there stunned, and now she wrapped her arm through his waist pulling him closer yet he was just giving me an apologetic look.

It took me a moment but I realised what was going on. I looked at Daniel who was now on the verge of crying and the lady was smirking while messing his hair. I let the tears pour out of my eyes and left his office. However I hated to leave him in this state, I had to do it because alike him, I couldn't stand someone else putting their hands on Daniel.

Who was mine!
