I opened the car door slowly and got into the car.
"Morning."I whispered.
John just nodded not saying a single word.
"About last night—"I started nervously.
"Last night was a mistake." he cut me off roughly.
"But—"
"I was just trying to teach you a lesson and it got out of hand."he said."I don't have any feelings towards you and I never will.I'm just here to do my job as a bodyguard so please let me do it."
Why was he being so cold hearted?
Two could play at that game.
"Look I was just going to say that I'm sorry about last night,I don't know how I got drunk and I definitely wasn't in my senses,so everything I said was actually meant for someone else."I lied.
His expression didn't change but his hands on the steering wheel tightened.
"Where do you have to go to this morning?"he inquired harshly.
"I have to collect something for my father at his company."
He didn't say anything just continued to look ahead.
..................................................
"Do you have to enter the building with me?"I demanded annoyed.
"Its for your own safety."he said.
I took a deep breath to calm myself before opening the door and entering the room.
"Miss Patterson.What can I do for you today?"Jada asked.
She was one of out best employees, always one step ahead.
"I have to collect a slip for my father."I explained.
"Yes.I remember he said something about it yesterday.Just hold on a minute and I shall bring it for you."
I nodded taking a look around my.Much to my disgust all the girls couldnt take there eyes off John.
He however didn't give any attention whatsoever to any of them,not that he gave me any either.
"Rosella!"someone called .
I forced a smile on my face as Mike made his way across the room towards me.
He was the son of a friend of my dad who also happened to he a businessman.
I never did like him because of his behavior, after our first meeting I learnt that girls for him were just toys,play with them one day and forget them the next.
"Mike!"I said extending my hand for a shake hand.
To my horror he grabbed my hand and pulled me in for a hug instead.
I pulled away immediately."What are you doing here?"I inquired.
"I came to attend the boards meeting.Didn't expect to see you here though.I must say it was definitely a pleasant surprise."he answered brightly.His gaze travelled behind me and his brows rose in confusion."Who is the guy behind you?"
"I'm her boyfriend John."he said walking forward to stand beside me.
What did he just say?
Mike looked taken aback for a moment."I didn't know you had a boyfriend."he whispered in disbelief.
"Well we haven't really been together that long—"
"You are?"John cut in glaring at Mike.
"I'm Mike."
"Here is the slip Miss Patterson."Jada said behind us.
"Thank you Jada."I took the paper from her hand and placed it into my purse quickly.
"Well it was nice meeting you Mike but we have a busy schedule today.So until next time."John said grabbing my hands and pulling me towards the elevator.
"What the hell was that?"I demanded angrily.
"I was just saving you."he replied as we waited for the elevator door to open.
"From what?"I snapped.
"The guy was obviously harassing you so I simply told him you were off limits."
He entered the elevator and I followed behind in frustration.
"I didn't need your help."I pointed out as he pressed the ground button.
"It didn't seem that way to me."he disagreed.
I was about to reply when the elevator started to shake.
"What is happening?"I asked afraid.
"Something seems to be wrong with the elevator."John said looking for the panic button.
I yelped in surprise as the elevator jolted so hard that I was thrown into John's arms in such force that he lost his balance and we both fell to the ground.
I was left sprawled out in top of him as the elevator came to an abrubt halt.
What was I to do?We were both stuck in the elevator and I wasn't sure if I could control my feelings for him!
