Chapter fourteen- The Devil
 In the office, he is laying on the couch sleeping and he has turned off the lights in the room. He is sleeping soundly on the sofa until someone knocks on his door, he doesn’t answer decides to continue sleeping. And he thinks,
‘The person will leave after two knocks when I haven’t answered.’
He stretches his body on the couch and draws into sleep. But as he thought, it didn’t happen rather, the person opens the door and sees the darkness. She sighs happily and thinks,
“Thankfully, he is not around. I can stretch body, as it is, my stomach is still hurting.”
She walks to the couch and without looking or thinking about any possibilities, she throws herself on to the sofa. Her bosom hits a hard substance and her legs hits long thick surface. Her lips meet with a soft surface and she thinks,
“What is this?”
She feels a hand crop onto her head and a soft substance takes in her lips. She immediately pulls back and starts shouting out,
“Oh dear, oh my goodness, a thief!! There’s a thief in here!”
She rushes to the door to shout out when she hears his voice, it sounded like someone who was in a deep sleep and has just woken up. Saying,
“Where is the thief? Who dares to steal from me?”
She turns to him, her lips sealed and she tiptoes towards him, when she is closer enough, she inquires,
“Is that you, sir Fred?”
He sighs and responds,
“Who else would be sleeping in my office?”
She sighs and hits his shoulder and shout out,
“My goodness, you scared the intestines me. A minute late and I would have called the police on you. Do you know that you are the thief in your own office? How can you switch off the light in your office at this time of the day? I thought you weren’t in this room.”
He sneers and replies,
“Are you sure, you didn’t know I was in this office? And I was laying on this couch? Did you have your eyes at the back of your head?”
She gasps and touches her lips and shouts,
“Where can I switch the light back on?”
He tells her and she rushes to the desk and picks up the controller. She presses on it and the light comes back on. She glares at him standing by the desk and he isn’t even looking in her way rather, he has his head in his hands and he is massaging it slowly. But then, his hand moves to his lips and he touches it slowly, he looks up at her and sees her glaring at him.
He smiles wickedly and walks towards her and he inquires,
“Why did you take the first step? Did you know how much I have hesitated to touch you? You can’t just give me a peg and go scout free. Maybe, should we continue what you started?”
She takes a step back and sits on the armchair, he smiles and says to her,
“So, all this while, you were faking anger towards me right? Did you want to devour me the minute you saw me in the elevator? But because I pushed you away, it angered you?”
She shakes her head and stands up abruptly and says to him,
“You are so full of yourself. Do you think the world revolves around you? I will never like someone as arrogant as you are. Please make way for me.”
He takes a step forward and she takes a step back and she shouts at him,
“Fred Royale!, control yourself and let me go. Otherwise, we might regret waking up to this day.”
He sneers and makes way for her. She rushes past him and makes it to the door without looking back. He smiles at looking her back and shakes his head. He sits down on the armchair and sighs loudly. He looks down at his abdomen and he sees a bulge in his trousers and he shakes his head and thinks,
‘It seems like, it won’t be over by just kissing her. After all that I tried last night and couldn’t get aroused, just a peg from her has got me this heated. I seem to have gotten myself into a big whale that might swallow me in any moment from now.’
He leans in the chair and removes a handkerchief from his suit and wipes the sweat from his face. It doesn’t seem to be helpful and so he stands up and removes his shirt suit. He turns on the air conditioner in the room and breaths in loudly but then, she image seem to replaying in his head.
Meanwhile in the washroom, she is busily sprinkling water on her face and she continues remembering what he said to her and what happened in the room. Then she hits the tape and shouts out,
“How could that devil take my first kiss? I feel like killing him.”
Then, she remembers the contact she had right out of the office.
Flashback
Tilda rushes out of the room and a step forward, her head hits a hard substance, she is about to shout once again but she sees who it is and so, she swallows it. He looks at her with a worry lazed face and he questions,
“Miss Tilda, are you alright? Why are you blushing and breathing so fast? What did Fred do this time.”
She shakes her head and speaks out quickly,
“Sir Jacob, I am fine.”
She hurries from his presence, when she looks back from a distance, she sees that, he has his hands in his pockets and a deep frown is displayed on his face.
Flashback ends
Tilda shakes her head and whispers,
Why did he seem so angry? And why am I feeling guilty?
Jacob moves from the washroom door and he sighs with his head down. After, a few steps away, he whispers to himself,
“I shouldn’t have put that camera in there. I am only seeing things I wouldn’t want to see. And I shouldn’t be doing this during work hours otherwise, I might turn out to be her bodyguard and it won’t be long before they find out that I have been watching them.”
