《The CEO》Chapter9- We became friends

He kept on clutching unto my waist tightly and it seemed like he was scared to let me go...I just kept patting his back in assurance.
"What do I do anne?...what am I going to do?"
He said still silently sobbing
"Everything is going to be fine"..I replied assuring him even if I had no idea what he was talking about.
He finally let go of my waist and wiped his tears with the back of his palm
"Am sorry about that anne,"he said sniffing.
Anne again??? I was going to start getting used to him dropping the honorifics.
"Are you sure you are alright sir?...I just wanted to check the offices but I met you in your office in this state" I replied as I put my palm on his forehead to ensure he wasn't running temperature....that was the only thing I could think of doing because I couldn't think of any other reason on why he was crying in his office after everyone had left...He took my hands in his left palm and gave me a soft smile..
"Do you actually think am running temperature"
"Yeah I thought so....but your temperature is completely normal"I said and paused
"Is something the matter mr rogers, you can tell me anything, I know we might not be close enough for you to tell me a secret but I promise I would forget about it tomorrow morning.....just pretend like its not anne olivia you are talking to if that would make you feel better"
"You must feel like I hate you so much..." He said, he had already stopped crying ,he took his drawers key from his table as he let go of my hands and opened the drawer of his desk, only to bring out a rectangular shaped container , which had a deep red color

"you can have your necklace back.....I really didn't plan on keeping it with me for that long."
My necklace?? Really? But why was he giving me back? I had not even paid back his money completely? And he even helped me to package the necklace.....why on earth was he confusing me?????!!
Just when I was still deep in thoughts he brought out the envelope of the previous day and dropped it beside me on the table.
"You don't need to pay me back anne...am sorry about pestering you for the money....and I sincerely didn't mean to make you go on a strip show....I am really....."
"Wait a damn minute....just why on earth do you keep confusing me mr rogers... Just not too long ago you made me feel bad for not paying your money, you took my necklace as a collateral only to return it without me paying you back, you are even returning the money I gave to you after accusing me of being a slut......why on earth are you doing this to me?"I interrupted really frustrated by the turn of events.
"To be sincere, I didn't want you to pay me back, I really just kept your necklace because I felt that was the only way to keep you by my side..although that wasn't my intention when you crushed my car. I had a bad day that day so I was really pissed off that's why I told you to pay me for another car....but I sincerely didn't want to collect the money from you"
"What are you talking about huh?...do you actually expect me to believe that.... then why were you so hard on me and kept sending me all those errands?" I replied really frustrated, I felt my head spinning because what he was saying made no sense....

"I don't actually expect you to believe me....but the only reason I kept sending you on all those errands was to keep you by my side...that was the only way I could see you often"
"You are really driving me nuts mr rogers....why on earth would you want to see me often, I mean we are not close or do you peradventure have feelings for me?" I yelled in frustration and felt like he was speaking gibberish but that was the only thing I could think of because there was no other reason why someone who was not close to you would want to keep you by his side......
"Do you actually expect me to have feelings for you......I just ...just...." He then paused for some reasons I didn't know and took a deep breath
"Can we be friends anne....I really have no friends...and for some reasons I really do feel safe with you" he finally said as he looked at my face and gave me a soft smile..I really didn't know what to say...why would he want us to be friends???! ...but then he had helped me so far with mr donald, when I fainted, he even gave me my necklace back and seeing his state earlier made me feel like he was a really lonely person....I felt bad for him for some reasons and felt like he needed someone to talk to.
"Alright...let's be friends....I mean you have helped me so far even when I wasn't aware of it and you don't seem like a bad person either"
"I am a bad person....but then again even villains do have friends right?"he said as he sighed heavily....
I really didn't understand what he was saying about being a bad person but I chose to ignore it...the most important thing was that he was good to me
"Let's start by dropping the honorifics. Call me daniel not mr rogers, i have already started calling you anne anyway" he said as he folded his arms across his chest
"Yeah I noticed you started calling me anne, but how am I supposed to call you that.... I mean you are my boss .....and my colleagues will definitely not be ok with it."
"How about you call me that when we are alone together like now....you can call me mr rogers when we are doing business"
"Ok"I said and paused
"So why were you crying earlier..we are friends now and friends tell each other secrets right?"
"I will tell you later on .... You might even find out yourself later"
I didn't understand what he was saying but I chose to trust him because we were friends already.
