Who's my baby's DADDY?

A stupid clause

Kelsea's POV~

"What...", hearing Shane's words, Elijah's mouth dropped in shock. And Elijah was not the only person who looked shocked. "What are you talking about, Mr. Shane?", Sounding pissed, I looked at him with my lifted eyebrows. "Brother, this is not the right time to joke you know", Shane chuckled at Elijah's words with his hands dug inside his pocket. "Do I seem like joking, Elijah?", Shane said with his dominant voice and Elijah's face flooded with disappointment. Oh wait, when did I agree on being his date. It is still in the discussion part, isn't it? "Is it so, honey?", Elijah asked me with his sweet voice as his eyes were fixed on me. Elijah, even I don't know what he is talking about… "Mr. Shane, I don't remember agreeing to be anyone's date?", I turned towards Shane as I was clearly pissed at him. "Well, I never asked your permission!", that arrogant pri** said and his words pushed my wrong buttons. He made me so angry that I couldn't control my mouth anymore. "I'm your damn PA, not your one night stand or one of your fangirls who drools at you. So please, stop giving me such irrelevant orders, out of work", I let out my fury with my fearless look pinned on him. And his calm and soft expression swapped into a bossy one. He turned to Stella who was looking at us with wide eyes. "Stella, can you bring me the copy of Miss. Kelsea's contract papers?", He said with a sturdy look. What is he trying to do now? I stared at him as I was totally puzzled now. Stella nodded as she grabbed a file from her draw and handed him. He went through the sheets and stopped at one point. His lips curled into a victory smile. I don't think this is gonna end well for me. "Okay Miss. Kelsea. You can repeat the same sentence you said before after checking this 18th clause", his rich attitude came out of him again as he passed me the file. The same file, the same fuc**** file that caused me all of this and I just wonder what problem it has for me now. I quickly scanned the clause and a gasp escaped my mouth. Simply great! "So Miss. Kelsea, I assume you've got nothing to say now, have you?", he teased me with a smirk and I clenched my teeth tight as I don't have any wish to end up in jail for the next 2 years. Yes, that's what the 18th clause states. If I disrespect the CEO of this company or disobey any of the official/unofficial work related orders which will cause serious damage to the reputation of the Bookers and the company, then I'm sentenced to spend two years behind the bars. Or, I'm fined $1 million. Seriously??? These Bookers are Idiots! Who creates such clauses for a personal assistant agreement? What does he think, I'm a robot?? "This isn't happening, is it?", I asked, looking at Stella and the next moment, she looked down to the floor. "This is the clause you have signed, Miss Kelsea. I hope, now, I'll get the respect I want from you", he said with a wink. This man standing in front of me is really pushing me to the worst. What does he think about himself? "You're indeed an 'i***t' to create such a clause in an agreement!", I said it again, this time I'll never feel sorry about it because I really meant it. Elijah and Stella's eyes widened as both looked at me quite shocked. But my eyes were fixed on Shane. I was really expecting him to throw his angry words on me but he was silent. In a blink of an eye, a strong arm pushed me to the wall and a hard body caged me. It was Shane! "I dare you to call me that again, baby girl", that word 'baby girl' from his lips was more than enough to cool me down and it served its purpose. His hot breath ignited the sense of my skin and my whole body chilled up in a matter of seconds. Those silver eyes controlled me effortlessly. His presence made me feel different and my whole self acted the same way he wanted it to be. I fu**** hate the fact that I have no control over me as much as he has. "Even though I have no need to ask you this question, I just feel like asking you anyway. So, do you agree to be my date?", He mumbled as he reclined close to my left earlobe with his rigid arms pinned on either side. My skin instantly reacted to his words as it wrapped with goosebumps. He was right, I have no option other than to agree to him. Not that I have enough money aka $1 million to pay him and reject his orders. I clutched my eyes tight and took deep breaths. I moved away from him, freeing myself from the cage of his strong arms. "If it is completely a work based date, then I don't think I have a reason to decline it", crossing my arms on my chest, I said without any hesitation in my voice. "Good choice", he said as he turned to smirk at Elijah, and that's when I actually remembered Elijah and Stella being in the same room. Shi*! Did they just see this? Oh god… what will they think about me… I turned to Elijah, and he looked at me with his same sweet smile. "Ah Elijah...", I tried to explain and he shook his head immediately. "No issues, honey. I know how this works. You don't have to explain anything", he winked at me and I smiled at the same cool attitude he always has. When I was about to leave, "About your question earlier, Miss. Kelsea, my last PA was a complete bulls*** who never obeyed my orders so that explains the clause you have it in your contract, I guess". I heard him say behind me and I just left the office, rolling my eyes at his stupid idea.

I reached home in a few, and the apartment was empty. I remembered Skyla telling me about her shopping plans with Maddie today. I quickly changed into my comfy PJs and made myself a fresh coffee. I really needed it to clear my thoughts about my arrogant boss who is clearly an i***t. I was not wrong about it tho. I tossed myself on the couch which felt like heaven after a long tiring day between those brothers. And immediately, my thoughts went back to the moments where Shane had me pinned under him. Uh… I don't know how the hell am I able to hate it and love it, all at the same time. Everyone portrayed him to be a dangerous man, a killer, an arrogant boss etc etc. But I didn't feel that way when, to be honest, I felt safe and perfect around him and it's still a big puzzle, why? His gaze, his touch, his breath, his lovely scent everything, literally everything about him, feels familiar. Have I ever met him before? I wondered, completely forgetting about my surroundings as I was plunged deep in my thoughts. "Si!!! Kelsea!!!" I felt a hand shaking me and my mind quickly jumped back to reality. "Hey Skyla, when did you come back?", I asked and she gave me a serious stare. "You didn't notice me? Seriously Kelsea? Alright, just spit everything that happened today", she squealed in excitement to know everything. Ah, my friend is such a curious b****!

I let out a deep sigh at her excited look. "Tell me, girl!!! You know I'm a curious cat, come on. Tell me more about your boss Shane. Was he hot? Handsome? Breathtaking?", She asked and I shook my head rolling my eyes at her overloaded excitement. "He is an arrogant i***t and I have got a date with him!", I said and her eyes magnified in shock. "WHAT??", she cried with her mouth hung open.
