《Dear Mr.CEO {COMPLETED}》Best Mistake I Have Ever Made

Advertisement

Chapter 15:

His lips were soft against mine and my eyes closed on there own accord and against my better wishes.. wasn't he just mad a few seconds ago?

And against everything that I thought of to say to break the kiss, I decided on my own to kiss him back- even though this might be the best mistake I have ever made.

He knew exactly what he was doing from experience while I tried to move like I knew what I was doing.

He kissed me like I'm the last bottle of water left on earth and he needed to quench his thirst. I tried to keep pace with him, his hand went to my hair- gripping it harder than what I would have thought. My legs felt like jelly as my mind disconnected from my body and deciding that no harm could be done, I grazed my teeth along his bottom lip causing a groan from him as he picked me up.

Removing some papers from his desk, he sat me there and my hands flung to the end of the table trying to settle myself before both of my hands covered the sides of his face, deepening the kiss.

He hunched my right leg up so he could step in between my legs and I didn't stop him.. why wasn't I stopping him? I felt his tongue slide over my bottom lip and I tried to keep my voice level down from making any sounds that would give us away to exactly what we were doing.

Hooking my leg around him, his experienced hands ran up my sides before cupping my breast and that's when a siren went off inside my head. No no no no no...

Pushing him off of me with a force I didn't know I had, my hands shot into my hair. What the heck was I doing?

No this can't be happening!

"What did I just do?" I mumble to myself again and again. "I have to go." I tell him, making my way to leave his office, but he grabs my wrist carefully to stop me.

"Embre I didn't mean-"

"L-landon don't." I snatched my hand away, walking out of his office and quickly rush into mine.

What did I just do?

I stay there for a few minutes, comprehending everything that just happened.

Did I have to quit now? That was highly unprofessional. I hear a knock at my door and my heart picks up, Can't he leave me alone? I walk to my door and I flung it open ready to give whoever it was a piece of my mind.

"Yes?" My nerves calmed down after seeing who it was- it was just Adaline again.

"Um.. hi." She could see that I was upset. "Mr. Hale wanted to let you know that you two will be leaving for New York in 12 hours so he said you are free to go home and pack and get some rest if you want to."

Oh thank god.

Placing the most sincere smile I could at the moment I thanked her. "Are you okay?" She asked me. If only you knew.

"Yeah I'm fine it's just a busy day ya' know." I waved my hand in the air before letting it fall back to my side, it seemed as if she still didn't believe me.

"Okay let me know if you need anything else." Nodding my head at her gesture, I shut my door when she walked away.

Gathering my things, I locked my office door before trying to go to the elevator but I stop in my tracks.

I see Mr. Hale- I mean Landon- talking to Adaline about something and I tried to to walk pass them quickly without being noticed but of course that didn't go my way. "Embre?" I heard Adaline call my name.

"Yes?" I ask Adaline, my attention solely on her.

"I was wondering if I could accompany you guys on the New York trip? I have some family members there and I would love to visit them and Mr Hale said it would be okay? I don't want to seem like a burden."

So he knew her enough to let her come with us? I didn't let that thought settle and I quickly threw it out of my head.

That's fine by me.

"Of course. But will you be going out to meetings and events with us?" I asked, it was a question for him to answer but I didn't feel like speaking to him.

And he answered it. "Depending on the meeting or the event Miss Daniels."

I lock eyes with him. "Of course Mr Hale." I turn back to Adaline who is giving me a confused look as to why my tone was dismissive.

"Is there anything I can get you, or you before I go?" I ask the both of them, trying to lighten the mood with a smile plastered on my face.

Adaline smiles. "No." She responds, I didn't hear his answer but I can tell he is debating something and I don't want to find out. Turning to continue to the elevator without his answer, he chimed in at the last second once the elevator door opened for me to step into.

"Yes there is actually."

Damn.

Turning back to him I don't say anything, telling him that he can continue on whatever he needed from me. "My office now." He orders and he turns and walks toward his office.

"Are you in trouble?" Adaline asked before looking between Landon and I.

"I'm an adult, I don't do trouble." I answered her before walking towards him seeing he had his door open. "What do you need?" I asked staying by the door, in case I needed a escape route.

"We need to talk."

I look around confused. "About what? The trip?" I ask, playing dumb. "It's already booked for you."

"No, what happened earlier." He reminded me.

"And what happened earlier?" I asked still trying to play it off.

"Close the door." He gestured his hand for me to do what I was told. "Close the door Embre." He was more stern once seeing me not following directions.

We weren't good like this? And with a roll of my eyes- knowing one of this days I was going to get fired- I closed the door.

That's what he started his advances towards me and I held out my hand. No! Stay right there.

But he didn't stop there and I tried to take a step back with my palm touching in between his chest where is ribcages were. "Why are you doing this?"

"Please don't play dumb, it doesn't suit you." He commented before continuing. "You know why I'm doing this."

"Is this why you gave me the job?" I let my hand fall. "So you could sleep with me?"

"No." He shook his head once. "I did it to help you and I wanted to see you again."

"And you thought this was a good idea?" I seethe in between us. "This is a job, Landon not a prostitution center."

"Prostitution?" He laughed. "There are clubs for that, and I don't run one- if that was your next question."

"Whatever." I waved a finger between us. "This can't happen again."

"And why not?" I scowled at his comprehension to understand does he not know how bad this is?

"For starters, you're my boss and we can't continue anything because people will grow suspicious and I don't want them to think I got this job because of that." I state out, that should be enough.

He looks like he isn't paying attention to anything I am saying, but he sighs. "First." He starts. "Didn't I say I don't give a fuck about what people think?"

"That's the problem I care. Why are you so interested in me?!" I blunt out. "You can have any girl you want but you kissed me?!" And I quickly close my mouth at what I just said.

He closes the little distance between us, so there no room for space between us. "You don't see yourself do you?" He pointed out my low self esteem. "Embre you're different-"

I scoff, moving around him. I'm not that gullible, even though I've read too many books. "I bet you use that all the time don't you?" I didn't want to be treated like some toy he could play with and put down whenever he felt like he was done.

He shakes his head. "I don't, I don't know how to explain this to you. But you are different. You are the only girl I have ever met that hasn't tried to force themselves on me, you are shy and witty at the same time and I like that about you. You speak what's on your mind and I admire that about you."

Well thanks. "You just met me."

"I'm very observant."

"But we can't do this." Back to square one we went.

He comes closer again, his hand lightly brushing against my cheek. "Go on a date with me Embre."

"Landon." I sighed before pulling his hand away from my face before holding it.

"Just say yes!" My subconscious rejoiced in my head.

"I have to go." Pulling away from him and I make my way to the door. My hand hovering over the handle; debating.

I sigh before opening it- without a look back.

The elevator doors close, leaving me to think.
