Chapter 10
Debby's POV
I thought I finally escaped him, but my ugly bad luck had to make me see him here again. Wait.... don't tell me he did a background check on me and found out I'll be working here! "Angel, are you okay?"
His question pulls me from my nightmare... No, daycare!
He's looking out straight in my eyes, without blinking. Suddenly I become aware of how close we are...... he's very close to me... our nose almost touching.
I stands up right instantly, and quickly take a step back to create space between us.
He frowns at my action, and take a step forward to close the space...... but I take another step back and held out my hand to stop him.
He stops and narrow his eyes at me.
"What are you doing here, Angel? And who the hell made you carry hot coffee?" He asks, eyeing my hand which coffee split on.
I frown... I thought he knew about me getting this job, why is he pretending to be surprised now.
I also look down at the hand and notice it's getting red from the hottness...... but that's not my problem right now... my problem is this mad man.
Looks like this psychopath is stalking me, I need to teach him a lesson first.
"Eh, what am I doing here? I should be asking you that question what are you doing here?!" I growled in his face.
"Well, that doesn't matter now...... come let me apply some oitment to your hand" he takes me by the hand. I pull back my hand and placed it on my waist.
Then suddenly, something clicked in my head and I glare daggers at him.
"Wait a second.... don't tell me you are stalking me.... How shameless can you be?! Huh?! You even stalk me to my recent place of work... How did you even get in my new boss's office?"
All these while, he's just looking at me...... like I've grown two heads or maybe gone nuts.
He release a long sigh and pinch the bridge of his nose.
"I didn't stalk you, Angel" he said quietly.
"Of course! Then, what are you doing here?!"
"This is my office" he said like it's the most obvious thing.
I open my mouth to say something, but what he just said replayed in my head.
"Wait... wait.... Rewind, repeat what you just said"
"This is my office"
A loud gasp left my mouth... realization dawned on me.
It makes sense... if this is not his office, how can he come in and sit in the swivel chair, enjoying the luxury of this office...
So the man I've been trying to run away from is my new boss? The CEO of Knights milling Inc?
Fate! Why do you have to be so cruel to me?!
Oh my God! I'm so screwed... He will definitely fire me.
How can I be so stupid, because of my smart mouth I'm going to lose my job before even actually working.
What am I going to do now?
If I beg him now and ask him to let me continue working here, he'll never agree.
God please help me, I don't wanna live in the streets. I need this job... What to do?
I was so lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice him closing the space between us.... He puts his finger under my chin and raises my head.
He looked straight in my eyes, as if he's searching for something.
I don't know why, but his touch is electrifying.... Sending shivers down my spine.... I can feel my cheeks warming up.
Ugh! Debby focus... You're about to lose your job! I reprimand myself.
I quickly went on my knees and grab one of his legs.... I need to plead for mercy if I wanna keep my job.
"I'm so sorry Mr knights.... I didn't know you are the CEO.... I shouldn't have spoken to you like that just now, please don't fire me, let me keep my job, I'm very hard-working I promise I will never let you down, just please don't fire me.... you are the most kindest...... most handsome CEO ever... please I really beg you, don't fire me!"
I begin to shed fake tears...... you know... to make my pleading sound sincere.
Even if he's a psychopath.... he's rich enough to own a company and he's already become my boss.... I should be loyal, right....?!
He bent down and gently held me up... He begin to wipe my tears.
"Baby, what are you doing? Please don't do that again"
He lead me to his chair and help me sit down.... I wanted to stand up but he push me right back.
The chair is unbelievably comfortable.. but this is not time to ravish the comfort.
"Please Mr knights, I'm really..."
"Shhh" he place his Perfect finger on my lips to stop my words.
Then he smiled at me.
"Angel, you don't have to beg me like that... Remember what I told you before? Whatever that is mine, it's also yours. So tell me, who in this whole company have the guts to fire you?"
"Huh? "I look at him strangely... Is this man Normal?
Yeah..... I almost forgot, he's not normal. I think I should start getting use to it.
"Baby... listen I might be the boss here and everyone reports to me and receive orders from me... But you're my boss, I report to you and receive orders from you. So you see, I don't even have the right to fire you" he said, the smile still present on his face.
"Mr knights, I.."
He frowns a little.
"To you it's Andre. You're not allowed to call me Mr knights" he said.
"Does everyone in your company calls you Andre?" I asked, cause honestly.... I've never heard of any employee calling their boss by his first name.
"No, only you have the right to call me Andre" "Then I'll stick to what everyone else calls you" "But you are not everyone... You're my girlfriend" Oh, here he goes with the girlfriend talk again. "Sorry boss, but I'd rather call you Mr knights"
He stays silent for some moments.
"Fine. Then I'll lay down some rules, for every time you call me Mr knights, you'll receive a..... kiss"
My eyes grew wide and I quickly slap my hand on my mouth.

"You wouldn't dare" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Try me" he smirked
"No... I'd prefer not to"
He went out of the office and came back almost immediately..... with a first aid kit.
He takes my hand in his and begin to apply some oitment.
When he's done I got up from his chair and bend down to pick up the broken coffee mug... but he stopped me immediately.
"Leave it... I'll send for one of the cleaners to do that" he said.
"Okay... So what will be my next duty for today?"
He smiles and take my hand... He leads me to a room that's attached to his office.
Though I call it a room... But it's the size of my apartment.
He made me sit iny a sofa, he walked towards the small fridge at the corner of the room and came back with bottle of youhgurt and a remote control.
He hands them to me and sits next to me.
"Sorry that I don't have popcorn" he apologizes.
I tilted my head in confusion..... what is he trying to do?!
"Our next duty is watching movies"
"What?!"
Is he for real? I thought I came here to work?!
He doesn't say a word... he simply points towards the TV.
Jesus! Why did I cross paths with him in the first place?! What have I gotten myself into?! I groan mentally.
00000
We've been in the room watching movies... well I'm watching the movie, while Andre is busy staring at me. And his gaze is making me kinda uncomfortable... It to create a little space between us, but he pull me closer. Like seriously this guy is occupying my personal space.
I couldn't stand his stare no more, I turned to him and I swear..... I almost forget what I wanted to say.
He's got a boyish grin on his face, hie eyes twinkling in excitement, which makes him super.... Hot!!
Wait... What? Where is that coming from?
"Mr knights, you...." his lips crashing on mine cuts me off.
His lips move in perfect sync with mine... the kiss was soft and brief. He breaks the kiss and wink at me, sending me another of his boyish grin. "What was that for?!" I frown.
"I told you, for everytime you address me by my last name, you'll receive a kiss" he said.
Oh, I totally forget about his stupid rule... And besides I thought he wasn't serious.
I scoff at his words.

I turn to face the big flat screen, forgetting about what I wanted to tell him in the first place.
Though, I can still feel his gaze on me.
"Can you please focus on the TV?!!" I snap at him.
"I prefer watching you... you're my private movie"
I ignore his statement and glance at my wrist watch..... a loud gasp left my mouth unconsciously.
"We've been in here for two whole hours!"
"Does that matter?" Mr knights asked nonchalantly.
"Yes! Mr kn...." I swallow my words... I don't want him to give me another kiss.
I guess I'll start learning to address him by first name.
He raises his eyebrows, waiting for me to finish my sentence.
"Don't you have work to do? Or files to sign?"
He simply smiles.
"I'd rather stay here with you" he said.
I roll my eyes.
From what I'm seeing now.... Andre knights is so sweet, kind and generous... so why is his parents looking for someone to pay a huge amount just to marry him?
Well, that is something I don't understand and don't want to understand.
I got uo and head towards the door, pulling Andre with me.
We enter his office and I led him to his swivel chair, I push him on it gently.
"Andre, start working now!" I command him..... okay it came out way sterner than I imagined.
"Say it again"
"I said you should sta...."
"No. Say my name again" he said.
What's so special about me saying his name?. He's looking at me expectantly.
"Andre"
Immediately I said it, he stands up from his chair and pulls me in for a hug... a real tight hug, as if he wanted to press me into him.
He kiss me on the forehead and finally released me from his hug.
"My name sounds so perfect coming from your mouth" he said.
I wanted to say something, but my phone sees that as the perfect time to ring.
I fetch it out of my pocket and check the callers ID, it's.......
MY LANDLORD!!
Oh no!! What am I going to say to him? I can't receive this call here.... cause if I receive the call here I don't know what Andre will think of me.
If I receive the call will Andre judge me? Or worse, will he..... fire me??
