The Cold Mask

Chapter 11

Noah pov

Wow

That was all my mind could register the moment Cataleya entered the living room

(The vote on Instagram was equal between the two outfits so I chose this hope you will participate more in the future and thank you for the oneswho did❤❤)

Today was the FDA meeting and she was dressed formally but Damn!! I thought that in casual attire she look gorgeous

But now she looks magnificent

I think I am drooling

"I don't think that people will be able to concentrate on the presentation" my voice came out more husky than I intended and I laughed a little hoping she won't realise

"Why is it boring?"

Uhhh

"No! No it's amazing trust me" I said quickly because it really was amazing she put all her effort in it and I was there in all the way so I know

"So why did you say that?" She asked boring her eyes in mine hoping she will find her response

I sighed deeply "don't worry about it"

She looked at me for a couple of seconds then began walking towards her car that the guard told me that there is 2 of her one with the president and the other with her

After that I didn't drive her for 2 days until Cataleya told me she want to go in it

So I complied but I drove it very very carefully

"Where do you want to go there is 2 hours till the meeting we have 1 hour free" I told her while turning the car on

"We can go have coffee in the shop beside the FDA building" I nodded my head with a smile

Happy that I will be able to consume caffeine without a rush like I've been doing for the last 3 weeks

The car ride was filled with me joking and laughing at them and trying to make her smile even for a tiny second but to no avail

We climbed down once we arrived at our destination and we began walking to the girl behind the counter

"What can I get you handsome?" She ask me batting her eyelashes completely ignoring Cataleya

But she didn't seem to mind nor annoyed

And to be honest a part of me was ... sad because she didn't care if a girl is flirting with me

But my more logical side wins and just ignored everything and put on a professional smile and said our order because I know that Cataleya prefer black coffee with milk just like me

Cataleya nodded her head at me as a thank you and went to sit on a table while I wait for our order

When the girl came back she had opened another button on her shirt showing her cleavage I rolled my eyes internally because my mother wouldn't like it if I disrespected a girl in public and I nodded as a thank you at her

And walked to my princess ,princess

I'm sorry it just the lack of caffeine

But the scene I saw in front of me made my blood boil

A guy was flirting with princess and she was looking at him blankly

Of course she doesn't know that he is flirting with her

I walked quickly towards them and put the coffee on the table and when Cataleya looked at me I gave her a smile and turned my eyes towards the man

Who was still eyeing her like the pervert he is

And then all I saw is red

I grabbed the man by his shirt collar and pushed him with force on the wall I heard gasps from all around the shop and Cataleya saying my name but this time I ignored her and looked at the man with so much hatred

I brought my lips to his ear and spoke in the most grave and dangerous voice I learned from my neighbours

"Look at her again and I will assure you that when I am done with you you won't be able to even lift your head. SHE IS MINE"

And with that I punched the man once to let him know I wasn't kidding and turned around to see all of the people present were looking at me in horror

Just Cataleya was still with her cold expression

I walked toward her and took her hand in mine ignoring the fucking electricity and took the coffee with me and walked outside

We began walking in silence while sipping the coffee

I was so tense, because she wasn't showing any emotions like always and no mater how much time I spend with her it still hard to know what she is thinking

"What did you tell him?" She question and I was surprised because she never begin the conversation

"Nothing important" I muttered hoping she won't ask again because truly what I said was without even thinking at came out like an .... instinct

And that made me nervous

Because honestly what I said is dangerous to me so I hope I will forget it quickly

Fortunately she let it go

When we became close to the building I asked her "are you nervous?"

She stoped in her tracks and looked at me I frowned did I say something wrong?

"I don't know" she told me after a minute

And I became even more confused because what?

Before I can ask her anything more she entered the building and her work began she put everything on stand by and people greeted her from here and there but just a small meeting like last time no one approached her

The principle and both her teachers also were there and this time there were double the people and I did my best to check every one of them trying to detect any one suspicion

I even told the building security because they were a lot of people and they gladly and thankfully helped me

Cataleya was standing beside me as beautiful and strong as ever getting ready to enter but just before they announced her name she looked at me and what she said made my breath hitch

"Noah can you hug me?"
