Chapter 211 HELPING HAND
1732words
She looks extremely cute when she is embarrassed and furious at the same time. Her skin turns red like cherry and I would love to have a little taste of her. It's been 24 hours since this woman has re-entered my house and my life and I am completely swept off by her. Even though we had fought multiple times in these hours but I won't deny the pull I am feeling toward her. I hope she too still has that pull for me.
She didn't know that it was me who asked Selina to come late today intentionally so I would be able to keep an eye on her just to make sure she is safe and when I entered her room. I didn't expect to see the view of the things I had bought for her.
So, finally, she accepted the things that I bought for her without making any fuss, and just when I am supposed to withdraw my steps, she showed up with such an alluring view. How was I supposed to back off then?
It takes all of my willpower to stop myself from pulling away her towel, and satisfy my craving for her.
My groin starts to swell and I try my best to not get influenced by it but then later after wearing her clothes she shows me her beautiful figure I couldn't really control myself. This woman is damn seductive and it's getting hard for me to keep my hands to myself.
Although I know once I'll put my hands on her she won't be able to push me away but still, I want us both to have some time so that things would get better between us.
At this moment, everything is messed up in our life.
Her overall look is captivating and I was relishing the moment when she realize what she had been doing and quickly move away from me leaving my lap empty and cold.
Sigh...
I touch my tie, it's finally done, I watch her being uncomfortable beside me and my lips twitch in delight as I mutter a small Thank you to her in tease.
We sit in complete silence after what happened and I look curiously at the place where Ron is taking us. I wonder where she has gotten her interview?
It's a busy street with high-end buildings. I don't see any bouquet shop or something else that would suit her so where is exactly her interview going to take place and neither I see her carrying any file with her.
Isn't she suppose to show her CV and documents for the job interview?
I start to get curious and anxious too, is she hiding something from me? I have no idea.
But, why would she hide anything, huh?
The car stops at the side and Ron announces respectively, "We're here, Miss."
I lean wanting to see the building's name but it's too crowded that it's difficult for me to see the name at this hour.
F**king hell, even the road is blocked with cars and I am not able to get off to see her off and be able to see the name.
Ask her.
Come, on. Andrew.
My instincts yell and I open my mouth impassively, "Tessa... Uhm... I mean Miss Will, I wish you good luck with your interview." I tell her politely and she nods her head curtly at me in response.
Arghh... F**k...
She gets off the car and there she disappears from my sight while closing the door of the car gently.
BOOM
"What's the name?" I look at Ron from the rearview mirror and question him in a strict voice.
"Dazzle Dream." He informs.
"Dazzle Dream?" I repeat, I seem to hear this name but where?
With a perplexing heart I reach my office, "Lillian I need all the information on Dream Dazzle name company." I shout at Lillian as soon as I pass her desk and I am sure she jumps at my loud tone and ignoring it I storm into my office.
BOOM
I slam my ass at the chair and keep thinking of this familiar company name, who that could be?
After an hour, a file is placed by Lillian on my desk respectfully, she looks a little nervous as she sees my stern face.
"Everything ok?" She raises her brow in concern and I nod my head at her. "Bring me a cup of coffee, please."
She leaves my office and only then do I open the file she has placed.
"Dream Dazzle." It's a newly established Jewel shop, Jewel shop? Why I haven't heard of it at all?
And who owns it?
I start to read further but still, there is no mention of the owner. It's been just 6 months since this company has developed and is trying to make a place in the market, a beginner in the market perhaps that's the reason I have not much information about it at all.
They are new so they must be looking for new talents, but Tessa?
How would anyone contact her in just one day?
It's quite a doubtful and suspicious thing for me and it bothers me the way Tessa is also not mentioning anything to me regarding it.
I look at the clock, it's lunch hour and I wonder if she is done with her interview as I decided to give her a call.
RING ... RING ... RING ...
She cuts my call and I stare at my phone in disbelief and the anxiousness in my heart begins.
Why did she disconnect my call?
I try again with eagerness.
RING ... RING ... RING ...
"Hello."
Her voice sounds from the other end and for a moment I feel lost, what should I say now?
Uhm.. The interview, yes, ask about that to her.
"How did your interview go?" I ask.
"I am having lunch, now." Instead of replying to my question, she states.
"Oh, ok. Should I send Ron to pick you up?" I ask.
"I'll text the time." She replies in a few words.
"Ok." I have nothing else to say as I disconnect the call helplessly.
I don't understand why again she has turned cold and indifferent, what happened in her interview?
Or maybe she is with the staff of the office which is why she keeps her answers short and curt.
I can't be judgmental just like that.
Because of her worry, I completely forget about my commitment to Ann and only remember it when Lillian comes over to ask about it.
F**k
I quickly drive to Ann's office and we both had lunch together I even discussed with her the idea of shifting Aaron's belongings to my floor for the time being.
Surprisingly, she agreed with me without many any single fuss about it.
Strange.
*****
The clock strikes 3 and I pick up my phone for the hundredth time to check Tessa's message but there was none.
Isn't she supposed to text me for Ron to pick her up and also isn't she worried about Cyrus? She could never leave him for so long, no f**king way.
I call her number and it keeps ringing, but no one answers it.
I then try Miss Celine's number, maybe Tessa has informed her about her whereabouts.
RING ... RING ... RING ...
"Sir Andrew." Miss Celine greets me and I greet her back, "Miss Celine, has Tessa returned home?" I ask calmly.
"Miss, yes, she returned an hour ago." Miss Celine informs and I frown.
Didn't she say she will call me? And why she hasn't informed me that she has reached home safely after all she is my responsibility.
"Ok," I say in a stern voice and disconnect the call as I start to fume in anger.
Again, her indifference has started. Does that mean she has got the job or is it something unrelated to the job?
I don't want to doubt Tessa but, her actions are making me suspicious.
In the evening, I return home and Miss Martha informs me that both kids are taking their class with Sir Martin.
Sir Martin is homeschooling Aaron and now he will help Cyrus too.
I walk towards my room to change but halt my step as I see the door of Tessa's room slightly open. Subconsciously, I walk towards her door and open it wide with a light push.
What I see inside makes me stunned, Tessa is sitting on the bed and using a brand new laptop, where did she get that? Did she go to buy that in the afternoon that is why she was unable to contact me? But that makes zero sense.
Ahem ... Ahem ...
I cough intentionally to take her attention and she jumps from my sudden presence.
"You..." She looks at me displeasingly and then soon her facial expression change to normal, "Come please." She closes the laptop and then looks at me welcomely which is very odd.
I sit on the sofa, the only place that seems suitable for me in this room. "So, how did your interview go?" I prompt.
"Hmm... It was good." She replies with hesitation.
"So, what was it about?" I ask curiously.
"Uhmm..." She tucks a hair strand behind her ear as she begins to explain, "It's a new company, they are looking for a designer... They think I have potential." She pauses and then looks at me for a second. "I guess, I'll pass on this." She sits on the bed looking discouraged, why?
"Why you should pass?" I inquire.
"Uhmm... I don't know... I am just not confident. I don't even have a proper degree for this." She states her worries.
"But, you are ambitious and as they mentioned, you are potential. No doubt." I encourage her.
"But..." She starts to bite her lips looking a little flustered, "I don't even have any designs with me to show my work to them." she says.
Just a minor issue.
"It's okay, I will send you the designs that you had prepared before for my company." I offer and she looks at me in surprise.
"Really? Is that possible?" She gasps.
"Yes, why not," I answer calmly and her lips curve into an alluring smile making my heart delight with peace and joy.
Alas, I am being helpful to her.
