《INSIDE》CHAPTER 8
Advertisement
After the following week we didn't speak to each other and avoided each other . But that can't be said to me I was doing my job and didn't care about him .
He literally angered me so much . Acting as if he is ... ugh . Had the control over me .
No one does have control over me only me . Stupid him.
Just because he thought I shared a coffee with him I will break my cold attitude and go all smiley smiley. If he thought he is completely wrong.
Acting cold and like a bitch is not my attitude it is my whole damn personality.
.
.
.
But now it is impossible to avoid each . Because we are in currently sitting in one of irvine company's private jet . When I first entered it I was amazed how a plane can be this amazing I was literally starstruck . I felt like I was entering a royal plane Which indeed looked liked one .
The interior of the jet was decorated with soft pink and champagne color offers a feminine flair that looks like a wonderfully serene place to relax in-flight.
So how did I ended in a flight with Zion Irvine and Madeleine who looked she came from A class studio wearing a tank top with spaghetti stap and black leggings. And with some other broad members.
.
.
.
"I will be going to California for a week . I expect you to have a look after the things while I'm not here " I say to mark while checking the file .
He gasps "California.... why " he ask not even bothering to cover his shock .
"It is an order Mr. Ruffalo " i say looking up from the file .
He tires to speak but I stoped when I forcefully shut the file the sound echoing the whole room .
"Ask me one more question I won't hesitate to fire you " i say calmly
He winces a look of hurt coats his face he gives me one painful nod and leaves the room .
Stupid him .
I then went to my house late at night . For once I was waiting to eat the food Georgia made .
When I entered my house I shocked to see Georgia was still here and even more shocked when I found paul was also there .
"What are you two doing " I shouted at them
They flinched but didn't dare to say anything.
"Speak" i shouted again
"We ... we heard that you are going to ....uhm California " Georgia said nervously not looking up at me.
"So what I'm supposed to do with the information that you both know " I asked folding my hands over my chest .
There was a silent. After a moment paul finally spoke
"You are going overseas alone so we are little bit worried " paul started.
"If you are worried that's clearly not my problem " i scoff
They both didn't comment on that .
"If you want we can send mark or sarah" Paul offers while Georgia nods in agreement.
"What is your problem huh. Why are you suddenly acting as if you can take decisions on your. If you forgot I'm the boss and I take the decision "I reply in a icy tone.
"We are not .We afraid that your are going without anyone. I can ask Mr. Zion to do something " Paul insists.
Before I could speak Georgia spoke
"Is she going with that boy " Georgia excitedly ask. All trace of anxious which was before gone .
Paul eyes narrow at her and his face turns a little grimace.
"Stop it . I'm going to California to do business with their company and I will if I want the deal. And you are not obligated to say anything and you are not obligated to come to my house either " i say and point my finger at paul .

"Felicity we....
"You dare to call me that . Out "
"We can talk ... "Georgia says but I cut her off .
"Out" I shout slamming my hands over the table .
They hesitate but eventually leave .
And next few days I completely avoided talking to them. Finally they gave up and Georgia brought me a suitcase and packed everything for me .
When I got out towards my car for the flight . I saw paul waiting there with a inexplicable emotion and Georgia beside him . I ignored them and got inside the car .
Guess I had a nice farewell.
.
.
.
.
I sighed and pushed the memory and continued to looked outside the window the view was amazing.It was clearer and higher,Transparent but still visible. The clouds surrounding every where giving the idea of white lake . It looked so soft so white so pure and untouched.
I turned my head slightly away from the window when I heard some movement in front of me.
Zion was sitting in the seat that was opposite to me . I slightly glanced at plane only to find out that Madeleine was in no sight. Ah i see ,Because from the time we reached the plane Madeleine didn't leave his side talking anything and everything.
I then looked at him again . He was wearing a white tshirt with a rich blue pants. It's weird seeing him like this he looked so casual and fresh with formal clothes and not suit . With this attire he looked very fit and had a lean athletic body . He works out. I thought.
Since he didn't speak anything just sitting with a blank face I didn't speak what I should do after not speaking for one week . And now suddenly he comes and sit opposite to me without speaking anything.
I shake my head and turn towards the breathtaking view . Some views can't be justified by words or pictures . It is saved only for our eyes .
He then clears his throat breaking my glance from the view .
I then turn my body and straighten up .
"Do you need anything sir? " I ask .
He looks at me for a moment before speaking "How are you enjoying the plane " he ask
"Good" I say .
He nods and turns towards the window . After a moment he starts to speak.
"So..we haven't talked for atleast couple of days " he says his eyes warily scans my face .
"Yes. Busy week"
I state the obvious reason
He sighs "I know . But the last time we spoke was at the rainy day" he said .
"Yes what are you implying " i asked . Well I know when we last spoke He don't have to remind me that .
"I'm sorry " he said suddenly looking a little anxious.
I take a moment before I speak
"It's okay . It was not a big deal anyway" I said shrugging.
"Then why were you avoiding me " he asked all anxious leaving .
"Excuse me "
He sighs and rank his hand over his hair. But before he could continue I spoke .
"That is cheap assumption to make Mr.Irvine. if you think that I could do that like that is something considered so low like I would say . We are both professionals and we are both doing businesses . We have to act like that one . Not discuss something which is so much irrelevant to our business " I say and narrow my eyes a little
"You know what you are right . I'm sorry to think like that Miss.jones " he said in a clipped tone and stood up and walked towards his previous seat .

Well he should have stayed there and never should came here and sat opposite to me . He just increased the awkwardness or whatever we had.
I sighed i thought this plane will so smoothly without any disturbance . I took a glance at Zion who now was sitting with some broad members his face a little hard his lips are pressed into a thin line .
He then glances at me when he saw me watching him he turns his face away and continues his talk with the broad members . After a few seconds I decided to go to my cabin since the mood in here is not like before . We did have a cabin for everyone indeed it was very luxurious plane.
Was I was harsh .
When I was not I sarcastically thought
I looked at the timing it was past three in the afternoon. I could sleep peacefully in this time . With that I went to sleeping.
I woke up from my sleep at the middle of the night. We would be landing in the morning.
I then looked myself at the mirror my face looked really dry . Pros to flying . I should have put a face mask but since I was having a polite conversation with someone. I totally forgot.
I then got up and took my jacket off now i feel more free . Who comes dressed professional to a plane. Me.
I then got out of the cabin and entered the other part of plane. Where all the single seat were arranged.
When I entered I saw the person who I was least expecting. Well i was not expecting anyone in the middle of night in the first place.
Zion Irvine. He was seated were exactly he sat with me .
What is he doing in this time.
I then went towards him he didn't see me coming because he was engrossed looking outside with his elbow placed on the hand rest and his chin rested on his palm.
When I was in front of him . He looked up he looked a little shocked to see me.
"I came here to take my stuffs " I said my tone flat.
He only nodded and at me and turned towards the window.
I then opened the top shelf and took my purse where I kept my makeup things but not makeup items it had moisturizes creams ,eye creams, face mask etc.
While taking it . I didn't realize the purse was opened a little . So when I took the purse a bottle fell from my purse and
"AHHH"
it hit Zion
I quickly turned towards him . Who was holding his head .
"I'm sorry . The purse was open " i said looking down at him
"Ahh what the heck is that. Are you carrying a brick with you " he asked frustrated
Well it was my face moisturizer sadly some moisturizer comes with heavy bottles nowadays.
"No . It was my face moisturizer " I say
"A what " he groans
I shake my head and look around to find someone ice cub
"I'm sorry . I will get you some ice cube" I say
"Yeah you are so sorry I can clearly hear it in you voice " he sarcastically says
I didn't want to fight for sounding not so sorry . So I ignored it and went to find a ice cubes and when I finally got it i took some of it and put it around a cloth and went back to him.
When I got back he was scratching the part of his head where the bottle has fallen.
"Ice cubes " i say he then looks up and takes the cloth from my hand his fingers slightly brushing mine .
Since I simply wrapped it with cloth . When he took it some of them slipped from the cloth.
I internally groaned. Does he not even know how to take a damn ice cube probably. I can't believe I'm working with him in this project.
"Leave it " i say and place the cloth on his head. He instantly went silent when I did it .
I continued putting a little pressure on his head with the cube . He slightly winced for a second but after that he went silent .
After two minutes I was thinking if I should stop and tell him to do by himself. Because one he can do it by himself and secondly his scent was little too much .
Does he have to wear his cologne all the time.
He then suddenly looked he was about to say something but he stoped when met my gaze . I then realized we are standing a little close i stopped doing and moved away .
"Here sir " I gave the cloth to him.
He blinked and looked at the cloth I was having and took it .
I then took a seat opposite to him and took the bottle . Unfortunately it was a glass bottle. Some companies think that it is better to put the cream in a freaking glass bottle and don't offer a travel size . Hell.
I look up to see Zion looking at the bottle with a horrified face . Like it is bomb that jumped from Pakistan and landed directly to my hands .
I then took it and put in my bag before he could burn them with his eyes . I then look at my bag i don't remember when I brought it . It been a long time.
I looked up when I hear a silent groan. Zion presses the ice bag to his head again. Was that painful . Well it didn't fall from a twentieth floor or something.
Maybe he is overreacting. Yeah I should say that to myself.
A sudden thought came to my mind . What if cancels the deal. Well there is a possibility. I'm OCD like that.
He also mentioned that his dad only insisted to give a shot for this deal . He could go and say that im a malicious women.
"Sorry. The bag was not in best condition and the zip was open . I hope you are okay " I say .
He looks and his eyes searching mine after a moment he speak
"It's okay accident happens it's not like we can control them" he says and continues to press the cloth at the side of his head.
I was little taken back by his understanding and how he didn't speak anything rude it also made me think how would I have handled the situation.
Not like him. I know that for sure.
"Yeah" I say agreeing to him .
" You agree? " he says, his corner of mouth twitches a little bit.
I frowned "Why are smiling for that"
"No. It's just I imagined how you would have reacted if you were in my place"
I'm 100% sure that that he would not have imagined me being calm at all. Because I definitely would not, by now I would have brought hell to this plane.
" Well Everyone has a different ways of handling the situations" i say shrugging.
He straightens up and places the cloth down "I agree Miss.jones" he said a little firmly.
I nod and turned around towards the window for a moment I was awestruck while staring at the window. I thought the flying around clouds was beautiful but the view in the night is on next level . The darkness covered with numerous lights illuminating it . It so alluring and fascinating.
I never thought darkness could be beautiful.
I turn around when Zion clears his throat. He intensely watching me when I see him see calmy changes it .
"So any reason why are you not sleeping in your cabin . Does our cabin is not comfortable Miss.jones " he ask
I shake my head "I slept enough " I say
"Not until you get jet lag" he says
I just shrug in response and again turns towards the knightly view. We then just sit in silence not making a conversation. I can't say if we are enjoying each others company . Beacuse I definitely not but I don't mind. Beacuse I'm completely mesmerized by the night view .
When in instance I glance at the side . I see Zion is sleeping . How did he slept that fast . I then take a quick glance at the watch . It was past seven soon we would arriving at the airport.
I take a one final look at the sleeping body . Should I wake him up and tell him to go back to his cabin . I contemplate for a second and decide against it because who knows that he will beat me when I disturbed his sleep. I then get up leaving him and went towards my cabin .
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
After five hours we finally landed on California. When we landed there were already cars waiting for us .
"You could have woke me up " Zion said while I was going towards the car .
I turned around he was walking beside while glancing at me .
"You were sleeping soundly sir . So i felt bad if I wake you up " I reason out
And it is not my job
He stops mid step for a second .
"It's suprising to see you being worried Miss.jones " he tell his corner of his mouth moves upward.
I stare at him ad he glances down at me with amusement playing in his eyes . While I on the another hand pity him for his misinterpretation
Tell me why he is the ceo of Irvine company.
Our starring is broken up by the voice of Madeleine voice which is slightly high pitched .
He then gives me one final look and walk towards her. And I do the same .
After we all settled in the cars . We then drove off to one of Irvine hotels . Obviously. Without a doubt it was one of the best stylish luxurious hotel I ever seen . We all got separate rooms . I was amazed about the architecture it was ultimately and customary.
This one building is so much big and elegant and fascinating. It was shocking that they had hotel like this all over the USA.
I then went to my room it is shame to just to call it a room . It was spacious and elegant and light . The room was not too overly done with furniture just subtle looking . I'm never leaving this place .
We had to meet for lunch but I skipped it . I was mesmerized by the room so I took the time to wander my eyes and when I entered the bathroom that when I decided to skip dinner also .
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I got ready in a formal pant and coat . Well I can't certainly to go the balcony in my night dress .
I was sitting silently with no one around because everyone had a balcony in their room . No one would not feel the need to come downstairs to watch the same view that they had in their own room.
While I was watching the view. I heard footsteps coming.
"What a pretty girl like you doing here alone ? A male voice spoke.
I turned around to see a boy who looked like around my age having a short dirty blonde hair .
"I would ask the same thing to you " I casually replied .
He looked little taken by that but quickly composed himself.
He chuckles "Sassy ! So can I join your company " he ask while eyeing the seat beside me .
I cross my leg and say "Unless you have finished a degree in textile designing with 4.0 gpa and can take every insults I make you can clearly give a shot " i say and throw my card towards him and turn my head away .
I then hear the footsteps fading and faint sound of "bitch"
Guess he found out .
"You sure do have a polite way of declining someone "
"Thanks Mr.Irvine " I say without turning back .
After a moment I feel the opposite seat dip and I took a glance at him he was sitting beside me leaving considerable space between us he was wearing a blank grey tshirt and black pant .
I then looked at my outfit totally not something that one would wear for a casual night .
"Any reason for not coming for lunch and dinner " he ask . I took a glance at him he was not looking at me instead towards the front
I shrugged "Jet lagged so I slept " I say
I saw him shaking his head from the corner of my eye . But didn't further speak . We just sat there looking the beautiful view in front of us . The wind mildly blowing giving a slight cool effect .
"Did you eat anything " he asks glancing and me and going back to see the front .
"Yes food" I reply not looking towards him.
"What food " he ask not glancing at me.
Guess he got my game
"Eatable "
"What kind " he ask again a little amusement in his voice
"Low calories kind "
He didn't reply for that and I'm thankful for that . I didn't mind his presence one because he was not wearing his cologne and he smelled like after bath soap scent which was bearable when compared to his cologne. And two because I made a contract with him and I need the money .
"You didn't eat any food " he now turns his head towards me
I didn't reply for that I just shrug. I can feel his eyes watching . And after a moment he stood up from his seat . I thought he will go back to his room. But I was wrong.
"Lets go "
I looked up at him with a blank face eventhough I'm little surprised by it .
"Where " I question
"To eat " he says
"I don't want to " i say and turn away.
I thought now he will go back to his room and I can enjoy my view peacefully alone . But he had other plans .
He grabbed my hand and pulled me up
"Mr.Irvine " I say

Abused Mate
My hands trailed down under her shirt, caressing her smooth skin. She shivered under my delicate touch and I grinned into her mouth. Suddenly I felt her slip away from underneath me, I frowned and turned around in time to see her jumping on my lap and straddling me. "Sophie." I groaned. "Yes?" She smiled innocently and gave me an opened mouth kiss at the corner of my mouth. "If we don't stop, I will take your right here, right now!" I moaned. She trailed butterfly kisses up my neck and whispered, "then don't stop."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jack has been waiting for too long for the moment to meet his mate since the day he turned 16.But,this possessive Alpha is in for a surprise when meeting his precious broken mate.{Not edited}Abused Mate: Copyright © 2017.

8 625Unfortunately, I'm an Evil Villainess
I was Lady Valentina Avington, the beautiful, wicked, and narcissistic villainess of a novel. When I recalled memories of my past life, I decided I wanted everything the heroine had. Using my knowledge of the future, I became a fake saint, the successor to my house, the future queen, and won over the male leads. When the novel began, all I had to do was dispose of the female lead. Yet nothing was as it seemed, and before I knew it, my perfect facade fell to pieces. “You’re not who I thought you were.” “I despise you, Sister.” “It’s revolting to even look at you.” Call it ambition or greed, I would get what I wanted, by any means necessary. No matter the cost, I would definitely win. No need to like me, I have no excuses. Will you be cheering for my downfall, like the rest of them? *** Updates every Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 PM EST.Join my discord server to read one chapter ahead: https://discord.gg/WfQAjG3JQxBecome a patron and read a few more chapters ahead: https://ko-fi.com/lyharbour
