Mr. Black Is Not A Gentleman!!!

Chapter 4. Stalker.

Cia.

Once Mr. Black left the department, everyone came running up to me. All the women were hugging me tightly and wishing me good luck. They were talking about parties and other ways that we would be able to see each other with my new position. Seeing the smiles on all of their faces I could not seem to help the one that came to mine as well. They were all happy for me, I had been chosen as the secretary of Mr. Black, even though it meant that all of these people had lost the opportunity, I did not see any jealousy on anyone's face. After chatting for quite some time and getting scolded by the manager everyone got back to their work, I also sat back down at my desk. It was at that moment that someone came up to talk to me, apparently my good luck had run out as the person was none other than Milo.

"What happened? Why do you look sad?" I asked him, raising my brow. As soon as I asked, I remembered that Mr. Black had thrown the chocolates that he had given me in the trash can. My eyes went to the trash can as I licked my lips. If he saw this chocolate in the trash can, then he may think poorly of me and I would feel bad. So I quickly pulled the garbage can toward my leg, hiding it carefully.

“Now tell me,” I ordered Milo.

"Yes, you are right, I am sad. Tomorrow you will become Mr. Black’s secretary, so I will not be able to see you everyday when I come to work in this department. I will be alone without you. I am happy about your promotion, but also sad to think that you are leaving," Milo admitted to me. As I listened to him I could not help but laugh. He was pouting like a small child that had his chocolate snatched away. Laughing, I hugged him trying to console him. He narrowed his eyes on me.

"I have only been promoted, it is not like I am leaving the company or moving to another country. I will still be in this company and we will continue to hang out. When you feel like you have time, then you can come visit me and I will do the same. No need to worry, Milo," I explained my point to him calmly. In some way, he already knew these things. Still he had always been over-possessive with me.

“Do you promise?” Milo asked and I nodded.

"Okay Cia, if you say so. I believe you, but know I will take full advantage of this," Milo warned as he left, leaving me with a dilemma. What was he going to take advantage of and how? He went back and sat at his desk with a sad face to get back to his work. I took a deep breath when I saw him. Now I was not so happy with my promotion. I did not want to leave this department, all my friends were here, but the salary of the president's secretary would be considerably higher, I knew that. That would be good for me, right?

I took my seat as my eyes fell to the trash can. I did not understand one thing. Okay, I did not understand a lot of things.

The first thing was how was it possible that when I had not applied for the position of secretary,  that Mr. Black had chosen me as his secretary?

Another strange thing was that even if he had picked me out of all the people that applied, then why would he personally come and announce it to everyone? I thought he had come to fire me from my current position.

The next thing was that I was sure that he recognized my face from the nightclub. Despite that, he had neither complained against me to the club owner nor had he had me expeed from this job. Why? Even knowing my truth, he treated me as if nothing had happened last night, instead he chose me as his secretary!

The most frightening thing that had happened was when he smilingly warned me not to show up with these chocolates! He angrily threw those chocolates into the trash can as if they were his enemy. I found this behavior not only odd, but slightly scary.

************

I have been working as Mr. Black’s secretary for the past two days, It seemed like all I was doing was worrying. What needed to be done next? What was going on Mr. Black's mind? After all, what did all of these things mean? Was this a turning point in my life, one that I had not imagined? It had barely even begun, yet it already seemed impossible!

It was 9:00 at night and after finishing my office work, I had made my way back home. I had left work an hour early yesterday, so maybe an hour of  my wage was cut. So I had asked my manager beforehand if I could come to work early today in order to make up the hour, so that he would not have to cut my wages. He said yes. I ate some chips as I did not have enough time to eat a proper meal, I changed my clothes, and left the house.

I was trying to divert my attention to thoughts other than Mr. Black, but I could not seem to do it. Those warm chocolatey eyes of his  when he informed me that I would be working for him from now on and when I would start.. I didn't know why, but I felt that there was some deeply hidden secret behind his words. He had been saying one thing to me, but the meaning behind them was something different, there was a secret message to them. It unnerved me to think about it. While walking I reached the night bar,  once I arrived I went into the changing room to change my clothes.

There was only ten minutes before I started my shift,  that was when I noticed that there were not very many people  in here tonight. Someone had booked the whole club again, but I knew that there was not going to be a party like last night then why was it so quiet. I did not understand anything. I was talking to the other girls about a bunch of different things as there were no customers. After fifteen minutes when I looked at the manager, I found that he was looking around in a hurry. He came inside the club gritting his teeth in anger.

"What happened? Is there some kind of trouble? Why are you in such a hurry?" I asked him as he scratched his head.

"I am in a mess right now. I just got a call from the owner. The owner told me that out of the blue someone had booked the whole club for a party tonight. He will not come in so I need to handle everything!" The manager revealed. I saw that he was really upset and worried, but now I understand why this whole place was quiet. So someone has booked the whole place?

"Now, I do not understand how I will be able to decorate this whole place in that short amount of time or have everything else arranged. If I had gotten this information even an hour ago, I would have called the events team to finish the decorations, but now we have no time at all. We only have half an hour. Now even the guests would start to arrive." Seeing the manager’s dilemma, I did not feel good about this situation at all. I have always seen him leap at the opportunity of making money, I was used to seeing him that way. His worried face was bothering me.

"Nothing to worry about. Half an hour is left before the party starts, we have only twenty women and five men. Together that should be more than enough. All of us together will help you in getting this finished. I know that in such a short time, the events team cannot come here, so why don't we all work together to get it done?" I said to him, raising my brows. After hearing me a big smile came on his face as he walked towards me.

"Thank you Cia!!!" He hugged me tightly as I laughed, but I moved him away from me.

"There is no need to be so happy. It’s not like I am not doing it for free. The money you usually give to the events team, you will now have to give to all of us," I claimed as he rolled his eyes at my words.

"Yes I know, don’t think I'm that cheap!" He exclaimed in a tired voice, as I immediately ran to start working from there. After our conversation, the manager told everyone everything we had discussed and they all got involved in decorating. The manager divided the work among all of them, I was the only one left to be given a job. I was waiting for my turn.

"What are your orders for me? It is not possible that you have not kept any work for me." I asked the manager and looking at me he gave a big devilish smile.

"You are absolutely right. I have already fixed your part of the work. There will be many guests in the bar part of the club, but the person who has put on the party tonight is going to be on the roof above the bar. So the responsibility of decorating the rooftop patio is in your hands, I also want you to take care of that special guest yourself. After all, you are an expert in this work," I smiled a little after listening to the manager’s compliment, but this smile also included my nervousness. Once again a rich man had booked the entire club, as well as the terrace where I had last seen Mr. Black. I did not want to go there again.

"Is it necessary for me to stay up on the roof? Can you not send some other girl up there? I want to work down here," I asked my manager. I knew that I would have to spend the whole time with that one man until he left the rooftop and then the club. It was not that I had never given private services to anyone before. There were many private rooms in this club where I had previously given private services to people, but I did not know why I was nervous tonight.

"Now don't start arguing with me on this matter, Cia. The owner of the club has already taken advanced p*****t from the man that is holding the party. The owner has told me to send you to the roof. He has chosen you, not me. You have to do what that man says because he has already paid the money for your services. I hope you will not make any mistakes as even though I will forgive your mistakes, I am not sure that the owner of the club will.” The manager explained with a hand on my shoulder, I just nodded. I knew what he was saying was for my own good.

I could not lose this job. I had to do this. I walked away from there. Taking all the decorations I needed, I went upstairs and kept decorating the entire place for about half an hour. I came down from the moving table and looked around. It looked beautiful. I was proud of myself. I had done it alone without anyone’s help. After decorating the entire rooftop, I went back down stairs. I noticed that the whole place was full of guests and everyone was busy. Everyone was so busy that I did not want to disturb anyone.

I had already been told about the liquor choice of the person holding the party. I picked up the specific bottle of wine, placing it on my tray with a glass. As soon as I reached the roof, I put the tray on top of the table, but I saw that a piece of decoration had fallen down. I immediately ran over to pick it up and started putting it back. I knew that that man could come up here at any moment if he saw anything wrong with the decoration, he would complain to the owner. I quickly pulled a chair towards me as I started to place it in the right spot. My hands and feet were shivering with fear as I was standing on the open roof of a building while at the same time I did not know why this chair was moving so much.

“Done!” I said to myself and smiled.

“Beautiful,” I heard someone’s voice in my ear, I was startled. I did not turn back , I just kept my hand over my mouth. I understood he is the party holder. I tried to get down from the chair, but it was moving a lot. That was when I felt his hand on my waist as he held me tightly.

“Let me help you or you will injure yourself,” he offered, in my ears his voice was so sexy. I felt as if I had heard him before. I nodded my head slowly, I heard his chuckle. Holding me by my waist he lowered me down softly until my feet touched the floor. I was still standing there thinking about looking back at him.

“Welcome sir,” I said with a smile on my face as I turned back to see his face. I looked up and my eyes widened with who I found, it was Mr. Black! He had a handsome smile on his face as he gazed down at me. I took a few steps back in fear. What was Mr. Black doing here? The party holder should have come up here right? So why was he up here again?

Wait! What was I doing? Standing like an i***t?! I should run! I thought to myself and ran towards the door, but I felt a grip on my hand as I was pulled back. I was turned my breast bumped into Mr. Black’s firm chest. I looked up at him as I shivered in fear. He was staring into my eyes like I was his prey and he was a hunter.

“Now the game is over, Cia,” He groaned, I felt as if I was going to faint from fear. I was just screaming in my mind, what could he possibly want from me?!

"Mr Black, what are you doing here?" Just like that, the words flew out of my mouth, causing my heartbeat to race so much that I was about to have a heart attack any minute.

“So this time you are not going to pretend to not recognize me? Last night you pushed me back then ran away like you had seen a ghost. You did not even hear me! Why did you act like that, Cia? You made me feel like I was going to harm you,” He murmured, looking sad.

Wait! What? What was going on? Why was he sad? He would be angry if he felt my behavior was offensive!

“I am… Sorry Mr. Black.” I stuttered as I felt that I really had been wrong in my treatment of him. He was my boss and I had done something like that, but then I saw a smile on his face but it was not a normal smile. He smiled as if he had achieved something huge and impossible!

"You have no idea how much it pleases me to hear my name coming from your mouth..." He told me as he wrapped an arm around my waist tightly, pulling me closer to his chest. He leaned down towards me, I felt his warm breath brushing against my ear. My teeth sank into my lower lip as my breathing accelerated. His touch and breath were so soft and warm on my skin. I had never felt something like it before.

"Now that I’ve heard my name on those plump lips, it feels as if I have no other choice but to taste them," He murmured seductively. Hearing those strangely captivating words of Mr. Black, I had become so nervous that I instantly removed his arm from my waist and took a few steps back from him.

"Mr. Black, why are you saying these things? Why are you here?” I asked as I noticed a sealed envelope in his hand. It looked like the company's official letterhead. Tears gathered in my eyes, but I did not let them fall. I understood that the envelope contained the notice of me being fired from the company. After all, he could not have a nightclub worker as his secretary. He most likely saw me as a w***e. I recognized that he was about to come closer but before he could I once again took a few steps back from him.

“I understand why you are here now. I accept your decision. If you are angry that I lied to you and to the company about my job in this nightclub then I am sorry. I do not know why you did not fire me earlier today. But if you are here to complain to the owner then I beg you, please don’t. I have hidden from them that I work at a company. I am glad you have not told anyone at the company about my night job, but I can not lose this nightclub job as well.

I understand that you do not want to ruin your company’s image or your image so you have come here to fire me, but I can not lose this job too. If I lose both of my jobs then I will not be able to survive. Please have mercy. Please do not complain. Please,” I could not complete my words as the tears I had been holding back fell from my eyes because I saw my name on the envelope too. I had been right. Whatever was in the envelope was related to me, he had come here to throw it in my face.

“Please… do not… complain… I… beg…” I tried to stammer out in between tears that I was having difficulty controlling, but after seeing that envelope I knew that  I had lost everything. The new higher salary had been everything I could hope for in life, and I had lost it.  I looked up at his face. He was only looking down at me with a black expression. For the first time in my life I had cried in front of someone, I felt weak and exposed. That was when I heard a  knock on the door before someone joined us on the rooftop. I panicked. No one else was allowed up here. Then I realized that the club owner had come. I was terrified as I wiped my tears away. I could not let him know about what had just occurred.

“Hello Mr. Black!” Owner exclaimed, shaking hands with him.

“Why have you called me up here? Is there something wrong? Did this girl not obey you?” The owner asked, giving me a murderous look. When I learned that Mr. Black had asked him to come, I felt like I would die. He had called him to tell him my secret. I was going to lose both my jobs in a matter of minutes. I knew after this the owner was going to ask me for the entire sum of money that he had lent my parents. I was doomed. I had no idea what I was going to do after this. I just wanted to crawl into a hole somewhere. I took a few steps away planning on making a stealthy escape.

“I am happy with your service as well as the girl!” Mr. Black remarked, pulling me into his side. I was startled by his reaction and by the arm  he kept around my waist. I couldn’t help but gaze up at his face..

“I did not call you up here. My secretary is waiting for you in my car. Please go see him. He will explain your role in our new project together. I wish to be alone with her,” Mr. Black demanded with his charmingly handsome smile. I felt relieved that he had not told the owner the truth. The owner looked pleased with the praise that he had received. He instantly nodded his head then left us on the rooftop to comply with Mr. Black’s request. As soon as he left Mr. Black cupped my face in his palms as his fingers caressed my cheeks softly.

“Why were you crying? Did I say that I was firing you or that I was here to complain to anyone?” He asked as he led me to the sofa. We both were sitting in a sweet and cool wind, under the light of the moon the rooftop had never looked more beautiful.

“Then why did you come here?” I asked in a low tone without looking at him.

“Because I am hosting a party and the people downstairs are all my friends,” He said as I glanced up at him with shock. It meant he was the host!

“Why here?” I inquired as he moved closer to me. I tried to move away, but there was nowhere for me to go..

“Because you are here Cia,” He admitted, making me nervous with his words..

“What are you talking about Mr. Black? I do not understand what you are trying to tell me,” I confessed with a slight tremor in my voice, he placed a finger on my lips making me shut my mouth.

“You will understand everything, but from now on you will no longer call me Mr. Black. You  will call me by my given name, Ethan,” He advised as he took hold of my hands.

“How can I call you by your given name?” I asked as he moved closer, I could feel the heat from his body.

“Call me Ethan!” He ordered while his hand ame up to cradle my neck. My body seemed to have a mind of its own as it reacted to each of his touches. He was making me crazy.

“Ethan,” I called him softly, trying to control my breathing. I noticed that he was leaning his face down closer to my lips. I pushed him slightly back and got up from the seat. But he was too fast for me, he scooped me into his arms and I found myself in his lap.

“What are you doing?!” I challenged, trying to get up but he simply caged me in with his arms so that I could not move at all. He buried his face in my neck. I felt him running his nose along the sensitive skin there seconds before his warm lips grazed the fluttering skin over my pulse point. I had to close my eyes, my teeth had sunk into my lower lip, and felt warmth spreading through my body. This man’s touch was lighting my body up like a torch. I was losing myself to him, I tried to wriggle to gain some space.

“Don’t move!” He urged as he moved me so that I lay on the sofa. He parted my legs then was laying between my thighs. Why was I not able to stop this man? I never let any man touch me, but I was letting him do this to me. I could feel him on top of me as he continued to kiss my neck. I closed my eyes while I clutched his arms. I could not believe it, my crush was here on top of me, he was doing delicious things to my body. I felt as if he knew my body better than I did myself. My whole body was shivering from his kisses. He kissed my neck, my cheeks, and as I felt his hot breath on my lips, I opened my eyes and knew he was going to kiss me.

“Ethan… what are you doing?” I asked as my hands went to push him back in fear.

“Please let me do this, Cia. I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and now I have gone as far as buying this whole club just to see you. Please let me kiss you,” Ethan pleaded, I was stunned. He had held this party and rented this club tonight just so that he could see me?!

What did he mean that he had been waiting for this day? But then his lips touched mine and he pressed his body into mine. I could feel how aroused he was, that he was losing control. His kiss was incredibly addictive. I had kissed so many men for money, but this kiss was something completely different. I did not want him to stop. I kissed him back, I was easily losing myself in his kiss. Suddenly, I realized that he smelled familiar. I tried to remember how I recognized it when it hit me and I opened my eyes in fear and broke the kiss. He opened his eyes, not looking satisfied at all with the brevity of our make out session.

“It was not a dream! You were in the garden with me. You were the one!” I cried, but he did not reply. His face told me everything I needed to know. He had been the mysterious man who had told me to sleep as he wiped away my tears.

“Please tell me what you were doing there? How and why?” I asked, he just smiled without saying a word. I could tell that there was a depth of meaning behind his smile. That was when my gaze went to the envelope on the table. It was related to me as my name was written on it but it did not pertain to me being fired. It must be about my background and employment history. It was my whole past and history! My gaze flew back to Mr. Black.

“Mr. Black, who are you?” I wondered as he made me sit on his lap again. He played with my hair as a slight smirk came to his face when he saw my scared face.

“You could say I’m your stalker,” he commented, causing my eyes to widen in surprise. My stalker? I never thought that Mr. Black would be that type of person.

“Your face is telling me that you want to say something, but you are holding back, just say it!” he said while pulling me closer to his lips so that he could kiss me again.

“Mr. Black, you are not a gentleman!!!”
