Chapter 12:

What is he doing?

"Embre." I'm still pressed up against him, my breathing quickening by the second.

"Yes?" I answer him breathlessly, my hand wrapping around his arm to stable myself.

He places his hand to the back of my neck. "Do you honestly think I give a care about what's professional or not?" He asked me, well I mean he should right?

I shake my head this must be a dream it had to be. "Mr. Hal-" I start but he cuts me off.

"Landon."

I take a deep breath. "L-Landon." I stutter his name out, I can't seem to function with me being this close.

He presses me closer if even possible, a sign of approval. "So do you understand what I'm asking you?" He asked me again.

"I-I don't know." His hand still holding my neck, I felt his thumb go to the edge of my jaw before tilting my face up even more. His eyes are dark filled with an emotion I didn't understand.

His eyes locked in on my full lips.

My inner self is chanting Kiss Me!KISS ME!

But my thoughts are shouting: Don't do it, DONT.

I'm torn between two things I need to make a decision but it doesn't come quick enough. He slowly leans in and everything just seems to disconnect.

My eyes flutter close. I can feel his lips hovering over my lips, waiting for something?

My approval? I don't know but right when he is about seal his lips with mine, I knock interrupts us.

"Mr. Hale?" I break away from him hurriedly, I blush slightly, and he looked pissed off.

"Come in." He spoke to whoever was behind the door, he sounded irritated.

"Mr.Hale you have one last call to make before we all have to leave, I put them on hold." The reception lady reminded him.

And we're left alone again.

I take a deep breath. "Is there anything you need Landon?"

"No that is all." He dismissed me, rounding his table and sitting and taking his call and I walked out in a rush. Wait until Regina gets a load of this.

Walking back to my office and I sit in my chair. "What just happened." I mumbled to myself.

I groan and I put my head in my hands. I suck in a breath and I let it out. "Embre." I hear his voice come on the intercom.

I press the button "Yes?" I ask.

I couldn't even get a minute to myself today it felt like, but this was my job. "need you to call this number." I quickly grab my pen and a piece of paper ready to write it down. "Call that number and tell her I need my private jet to go to New York City in two days."

He's leaving? I don't know if I'm happy or sad about this. No Embre you just met the guy a few weeks ago, calm yourself.

There was no denying that I had grown accustomed to seeing him everyday and without seeing him for a couple days would be torture.

"Okay."

"Oh and Embre.."

"Yes?"

"You will be accompanying me." I feel like someone just punched me in my stomach, out of all people me?

"You're his assistant dumb ass." My inner thoughts reply to me.

"Y-Yes sir."

"You are free to go home now, Goodnight Embre."

"Goodnight Landon."

I look at the number that he gave me. I'm going to book it tomorrow, I have a lot to think about and I don't want to mess up his I mean our flight schedule. Grabbing my things and I make my way out of my office to the elevators and I press Level 1.

"Wait." I hear someone voice say, thinking they wanted to leave just as much as I do, I hold the elevator. I look up to see Landon again.

"Yes?"

"You dropped your phone in my office ." He hands me my phone, I didn't even realize it.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Are you not coming?" I ask, removing my other hand from the elevator door.

"No I have a lot of things to do back in my office besides... I've been distracted."

"Well okay, see you tomorrow."

"Likewise."

The elevator doors close and I closed my eyes before reopening them watching the levels.

Landon Hale was definitely going to be a problem for me.
