《My famous boss (gxg)》Chapter 6
Advertisement
The rain picks up and we can hear thunder outside. The two of us don't talk, not until she speaks up.
"Could you maybe turn up the heat, it is kinda cold in here" she says
"Of course, wait let me just wipe my hands"
As I am adjusting everything she speaks again.
"I'm sorry for letting Kate treat you like that"
"Don't worry I'm a big girl, I can fight my own battles" I say looking at her.
She looks away almost as she feels guilty. I shake that off and continue on eating my fries.
"I'm going to be honest with you I didn't even know you studied business in college or that you even went to Oxford. I just sort of skimmed over that part in you CV." she admits
"It's alright. I don't really care that much."
"So I've noticed." she smiles
I feel hot at her stare and because this heat is too much. I take off my shirt before I start seriously sweating. She takes a peek at my stomach that is showing or more so my abs. I have abs yes. I hate saying that, I feel like some high school sportsman.
I finish my food and crumble the paper into balls so I can throw them out afterwards.
"I'm sorry I was quiet, my head hurts and I'm just tired from set. I had no energy left to argue."
"Stop apologizing she's the one that started the fight and she got it. I'm sorry if I insulted her, but I just couldn't stand hearing her say those things to me."
I answer her.
"Does your head still hurt, I've got some advil in the back if you want." I offer
"Sure, can you stop somewhere to get me something to drink. I finished mine."
I quickly run out of the car and open the back door. I find the advil and a unopened water bottle. I always keep those just in case. I run back inside and slam the door shut. It is pouring. I'm going to have to get us umbrellas from the trunk. She drinks the medicine and says a silent thank you. The rain picks up and I turn on the wipers so we can see whats going on.

We both finished our food and we just sit there in silence looking at the rain and in the background you can hear faint music coming from the speakers. It's peaceful. I don't want to leave and it seems like Scarlett feels the same.
"Ms shall we go?" I ask her.
"Can we stay here for another 5 minutes? It's so calming." she says looking outside
Few seconds later we hear thunder and a lightning hits somewhere close the sound fairly loud. She jumps and starts shaking.
"Are you okay?" I ask
"Yes, I just hate thunder" she says
"Well don't worry nothing is going to happen" I tell her
"You can't possibly know that" She says
"You're just being paranoid."
"Can we leave now? I feel scared something will hit is next" she says
"Okay boss, where to?"
"Warehouse please"
I nod and turn up the music so she doesn't hear the thunder as much. Her hands fidget with her rings and she looks so innocent. I like this sight of her. Not something you'd expect to see from the Scarlett Johansson. We park in front of the warehouse and it is still raining cats and dogs.
"Here take this" I tell her giving her my shirt.
"You were cold in the car and I bet you're going to be cold again. Just put it on as I go to the back seat and reach into the trunk" I tell her
She obliges and looks at me strangely as I climb to the back seat. I take down the arm rest and but presto there is a button to open up a door to the trunk for access in the car. I reach for two umbrellas and give her one. I keep them there for emergencies. Just in case I get stuck somewhere. Don't ask why I have two. I jump out first opening my umbrella and walking to her side of the car. I give her my hand and she exists opening her own umbrella.
As she gets out I see that my shirt is sort of big on her. I mean it is supposed to be baggy a bit but not that much. Our height difference is what makes her so cute looking compared to me. I look like her bodyguard or something.

The trip to the warehouse didn't last that long thankfully so we got back pretty fast. I took the boxes in my hands as she carried an umbrella over my head. We got inside the car and threw the umbrellas back into the trunk.
It's already 9pm and I can see that she is yawning next to me. I bet she's tired.
"Where are we headed now?"
"Take me home and put these boxes in my place." she says with closed eyes.
"Okay, do you want me to turn the music down so you can sleep on the way there. I mean you can fit in a nap to where you live"
"No don't it's soothing"
I nod and continue driving. She indeed did fall asleep. On my way to her place I played me some Adele. It's raining still but not as hard as before. It is perfect weather if you ask me. Most people would say it's rubbish but I disagree. I pull up to her gate and scan my card, entering her driveway.
"Ms Johansson wake up, Ms Johansson. Can you wake up for me?" I nudge her lightly. She jumps as my hand touches her shoulder and looks at me finally.
"We're back at your house." I say to her
"Can you bring the boxes with me?"
"Sure" I open an umbrella and hand it to her and take out the boxes from the back seat we put them on. I follow her inside and she shows me my office and tells me to leave it there.
"Thank you and I'll see you here at 5 am. We're going on set then" She says
"Alright I'll make sure to come here in time" She nods and walks me to the door.She goes to hug me but I reach a hand out and stop her. I don't do hugging. I shake hands and touch hands, thats it. Only one person can hug me and that is Maria Clark.
"I don't hug." I say to her
"Okay, then" she says and takes out a hand for me to shake. I smile at that and shake her hand.
I return home after and turn on my laptop before I go to bed. I have a few emails to send out. Tomorrow is going to be hectic and I don't want to miss out on anything back east. I contact my friend there and tell him we'll have a meeting soon. So he knows the prepare the paperwork. I fall asleep next to my laptop on my living room couch.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Another day another try to look alive and not bored and tired at the same time. I made coffee for Scarlett and me and poured them into to-go cups. I am on my way to her place and she told me she'll wait in front of the gate for me so we don't waste any time. I also prepared her a egg and avocado sandwich. I bet she didn't eat again so I made sure to be prepared at all costs. Today I am wearing a more comfortable outfit that yesterday.
Had to bring out my converse again today. I pull up to her gate and there she is, dressed in sweats and a baggy t shirt. She also has a black duffel bag in hand. Her face is clean from makeup and any imperfections. She is looking like a model at like 5 am, how?
She gets inside and I throw her duffel bag into the back seat and get back inside the car. She doesn't seem to be in a chirpy mood today. Maybe it is too early.
"I made us coffee" I say pointing to the to-go cups.
"Which one is mine" She asks
"The red one" She nods and takes the cup in hand immediately sipping a bit.
"Have you eaten breakfast this morning?" I ask
"No, why do you ask?" she asks back
"Reach into my bag in the back and take out a plastic container" She actually listens me with nk complaints which is a surprise I did 't expect for sure.
"Open it" she does "I made you and avocado and egg breakfast sandwich you can eat on the way to set" I said.
"I didn't ask for this" she says
"I know but you have to eat Ms" I say
She scoffs and takes a bite of the sandwich. She looks at me surprised and I just giggle.
"I cook as well" I simply say and drive us to one hell of a day on set..

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.
