LEAH’S POV
-----
I tucked my hands together and stood before him as I was before, furious. I looked away from him. He held my chin and slowly made me look his way.
"You’re still mad at me?" He asked me and I gave him a 'duh' look. He sighed.
"Would you tell me why?" He pleaded and my mouth opened wide. I shut my mouth and took a deep breath.
"You want to know why? Like, really? As if you don't know enough! You were kissing the PA who insulted me and you had just fired! Do you even know that slut smirked at me after you were done kissing the hell out of her! Damn! That hit my ego!" I ranted out in one breath.
"Miss Puritan does have some cusses in her vocab, no wonder." He teased and I gave him a look.
"You want to tease me after I've done ranting?!" I yelled at him and he shook his head. I puckered my hands on my chest, huffing at him.
"Well, first of all, she kissed me as she fell on me purposely…" I nodded sarcastically and pushed him away.
"And for the other fact, I was showing her what she'd be missing for she is now fired." He said it as if it was the most serious thing and that I should've known it, too. I rolled my eyes at him.
"And what was that?" I asked, wanting him to answer. I knew it wasn’t something worth it to know, but I still asked.
"Me." He said with a meek smile and I shook my head tired of his actions. I left out a huge sigh as I glanced at Luke who was still pointing his two pointy fingers of two hands at himself.
"Luke..." I started to say but he cut me off. He held both my hands in his and looked straight at me.
"Okay, I am sorry. I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you like that. I didn't know that she smirked at you or anything. I'd never leave her if I would've known entirely what she did to you and I wouldn't have just..." He stopped saying as his eyes widened.
"What did you do, Luke?" I asked giving him a serious look. He sighed.
"I blacklisted her?" He said-asked me a question as if it was a very common thing to do, making an innocent face and my resentment had vanished as I left a sigh.
"If only we have fewer enemies, for you adding more," I uttered in a serious tone and then laughed immediately. Luke looked like he was going to annihilate himself, but once I snickered, he laughed along with me.
"God, you're such a drama!" He said in a girlish tone and made me laugh even harder. We both took deep breaths and I sighed.
"Okay, but you remove her from the blacklist. She needs to live, too." I said seriously.
"God, you're a sweetheart. Okay, I'll remove her. Happy now?" He asked me and then I knew what I had to do. I was reminded of a sweet gift that Luke was going to get tomorrow. Visualising it, a smirk was automatically placed on my face.
"Oh, this scene doesn't come off like a sweet one now." He stated as he saw me turn into a bad b***h. I laughed off because he knew me so well.
"Your punishment doesn't end here. You'll have your fair share tomorrow. Anyways, you're treating me, I'm starving." I whined and he raised his brow.
"You're going to punish me so why would I deal with you, huh?" He asked, making a face and I laughed.
"Because I won the race!" I exclaimed laughing.
"When did we discuss that the loser had to give a treat?" He asked with a raised brow. I blinked at him, sweetly.
"So, you do know that you're the loser?" I teased him and burst into fits of laughter. I clapped in happiness.
"I didn't mean that!" He snorted and I laughed at this antique whom I called my best friend.
"So, treat?" I asked him and he gave me a small nod.
"Come on, loser!" I yelled and immediately ran away. Luke ran behind me to catch me and we were in our bubble, laughing and yelling at each other.

So, it turned out that Luke brought Jack with him. Since Jack was scared of fast driving and races, he was supposedly sitting behind with a seatbelt and holding the sides. Imagining his face, I wanted to laugh.
I and Luke went in his car whereas Jack took my car and left for the office, as Luke insisted that he'd drop me off in the evening.
Luke brought me to our favourite Chinese bistro and did give me a treat.
We both beamed as we stumbled into our office. We both entered our cabin and abruptly stopped in our tracks. Uncle Jacob sat there on our chair playing with the glass paperweight. From one of the times, Uncle Jacob looked scary today.
"Looks like you guys had a great lunch, huh?" Uncle Jacob asked and I knew he was pretending, from the small smirk that played on his lips.
"Uncle Jacob!" I said in a tune and he exploded into laughter. Luke released a breath and I knew he was intimidated. I and Uncle Jacob shared another laugh noticing that we had fooled Luke.
"You do know this womanizer who fires PAs every day, right? He was treating me and this is for you." I pulled Luke's hand as I snatched the parcel from his hand and handed it to Uncle Jacob.
"Sushi?" He asked gazing like a little kid and I nodded. We had made a stop at Uncle Jacob's favourite Japanese place and had taken a parcel.
"From your favourite place." His smile grew. He kissed my cheek and I laughed.
"You're the best, Leah." He said as he looked at me and Luke scoffed.
"You should thank Luke. It's a loser’s treat after all." I laughed at him and pulled him by his arm as I stood taking his support. Luke tried to let go of my arm but I didn’t leave his hand.
"So, why in our cabin?" I asked as Uncle Jacob was about to leave looking at his sushi with a happy face.
"Oh, yeah, sushi made me forget why I was here in the first place." He chuckled and then shook his head.
"I was here to tell you that your task is done." He announced with a smirk and for a moment I was unaware until he winked at me and then I realised it.
Male PA. I smirked.
Now deal with this, Luke Hemmington.
