Chapter 10 - What Was That

Elena remained unmoved looking at him, she was surprised like how can a man be so shameless openly saying whatever he hade in his mind. He was literally flirting with her in the office, at least what she thought.

Getting up from his chair, he walked her way and stood in front of her. Slowly bending down he stared at her" Do you know that, you have very beautiful smile" he said boring into eyes.

As if hypnotized by his ocean blue eyes, she kept staring at him and nodded her head, not knowing what was happening to her, she answered him like an obedient kid. She saw sincerity in his eyes, each and every word felt real.

Amused by her reaction he stepped back, he wanted to see the effect he has on her the same way she had on him.

"Miss Carter what are staring at?" he smirked with the mischievous smile. Lucas found her reaction cute.

"Huh" she gave him a confused look.

"Are you done staring at me?" he smiled at her reaction.

Lucas wanted to pinch her cheeks and pull her in his arms, he wanted to hold her and feel her warmth.

Both were staring at each other unknown to the person who came in not knowing what was going inside.

Knocking the door Ron entered in," Sir there are some files that need your sig-.."he swallowed his words when he saw both of them standing so close to each other.

His boss was looking like a love sick puppy ready to taste the bone , only a few inch close and he was ready to jump on her.

"Ahem.. " Ron cleared his throat in embarrassment.

Sensing Ron's presence, Elena came back to herself and moved back while on other hand Lucas gave him 'you are dead' look.

"What did I do know? " Ron thought looking at his boss who had not so good expression and looked down just to avoid his predator eyes.

Elena face was turn crimson pink due embarrassment, without waiting there a single second she excused herself and left his cabin.

Ron who's head was hung low, heard his boss voice "You better have something important or else forget about the bonus".

" No no sir "he said rushing towards Lucas. " Sir these file needed your signature and there is a meeting with the HR department which you have to attend". Ron just blurt out what he had came in to say and god grace the man in front of him understood.

When his boss didn't shouted at him, he released a sign of relief.

Lunch time came and Samantha was every hungry, she turned her head and saw Ethan still working

"He doesn't even have friends ?"she thought.

" Should I ask him for lunch, maybe.. he can open up" she continued to think.

Samantha was initially hesitating at first, but after a long thought she came to a decision finally asking him, "Do you like to join me for lunch" she said looking his way and waited for him to response.

Ethan focus was on the screen, when he heard her asked him for lunch. He understood her intentions was to make friends with him. But he felt he was bite rude earlier with his words.

At first he wanted to reject her first but then he thought that he didn't knew anyone here and there was nobody who wanted to talk to him. He didn't wanted to disappoint her as this was the second time she initiated the conversation, so he accept her offer without giving a second thought.

"Okay, but give me a minute? " he said shutting his laptop.

"Okay" she smiled like a kid. Finally the stone like man moved.

"What are you a five year old kid? " he said and started walking leaving her behind.

"I am very hungry.. come on lets go fast, I can't wait to eat food" she walked faster than him, now leaving him behind

"So childish "he signed and walked behind her.

After the meeting got over everyone left the room only Lucas, Ron and Elena were left alone. 

" Get me the details of the project " Lucas said informing him about the project they were discussing earlier in the meeting.

Ron nodded his head and left the meeting room.

Elena who was standing next to Lucas's chair was about to follow Ron. But as soon as she turned to leave, her heels slipped on the marble floor and she landed straight on Lucas's lap.

He immediately hold her before she could fall. Lucas hands where around her waist holding her tight, he gripped her so protectively as if  he was scared of her getting hurt.

"Miss Carter.." he shook her shoulder lightly.

Elena's who's eyes where closed slowly open and turn to look at him. Her scared face immediately calm down looking him. She kept staring at his face as if she was hypnotized by him again. He just saved her from falling, she thought.

His ocean blue eyes conveyed so many emotions through it. He looked like a Greek god ascended to the earth. He had thin lips with a firm jaw line and a pointed nose which she wanted to pinch. She had never seen such a handsome man in her entire life.

As she was busy admiring his beauty, something poked on her right butt, "Let me concentrate "she said inwardly and adjusted on his lap without breaking her gaze from his face. The more she moved the more it poked,

Getting irritated by the disturbance, she shouted" What is it".

Lucas who was trying to maintain his composure. From the time she landed on him, he didn't knew what had happened to him. He was trying hard not to capture her rosy lips and taste it. His monster was already budging up in his pants and was touching her butt making it hard for him.

"Miss Carter... " he said in his shaky voice.

"Huh" she looked confusingly. His face was looking painful as if he was having hard time.

"You're hurting it" he said furrowing his eyebrows in pain.

"Huh" still confused not getting his words.

Lucas pointed down showing her where it was hurting him. She looked down when her eyes popped out from her socket.

"Ahh... " she screamed and immediately got down from his lap.

Now she knew what was making her so uncomfortable in his lap. Feeling embarrassed she immediately bowed to him and left running.

Lucas who saw her running went to touched his face. Heat was surging up on his cheeks and his heart was beating fast like someone was playing drums with it.

"What will happen to me when I will kiss her?" he said calming his heart beat.

Ethan and Samantha were having their lunch in the canteen. Ethan was thinking why was she so friendly with him, he didn't even knew her at first place, even though he was known by everyone.

"Don't you know who I am?" Ethan asked looking at Samantha.

"Yes " she said eating her steak.

"Then don't you think eating with me would spoil you reputation? " he was amused at her casual answer. The time he had joined no one had talked to him and had maintain their distance.

" I don't think so" she kept her fork and continued, "I don't like judging people from their past, and as far as eating with you I don't care what they think as I'm more concern with persons nature rather than my reputation "

Ethan was impresses by her straight forward answer. Without asking anything further they continued their lunch.

After running out of the meeting room, Elena rushed into the restroom.

Standing in front of the mirror she saw her red cheeks, they were burning up. Her one hand touched her cheeks and the other one touched her heart, it was beating so fast.

Turning on the tap she took hand full of water and smash on her face calming the heating sensation.

"God Elena, what is happening to you" she said to herself looking at the mirror.

"What is he doing with you? "she closed her eyes and stood there trying to stop the butterflies that where dancing in here stomach.
