Chapter 132 - Let's test it and see how deep it goes

The goddess has never been lost and it is just that people have forgotten to find her and that's how Harley felt after seeing Leena with her own eyes. She has never got the chance to meet Leena and when Devin notified that Leena would be arriving at the office, she flew to the best salon to present herself well in front of her. With the employees moving out of the conference room, Harley whisked to the place to accompany Leena and Reese since it's her obligation and as a secretary, she must be with the guest. But watching her face, she could sense that Leena is fuming in anger.

'Is it because of that annoying Devin? It must be him. He was giving a hard time to her throughout the meeting.'

"Are you ok, Leena? You are a little lost." Harley asked nervously.

"I am fine," Leena replied with a smile. All though, it was their first meeting, Leena felt very comfortable with Harley. She was not at all like the executive assistants who were behind the CEOs and the moment they see another woman, they turn on to the bitch mode making secretive plans for the downfall.

"I am glad to hear that. By the way, you were incredible for the entire time in the meeting. All the employees were awestruck by your bold personality. No one dared to argue with that Devil until now and you were the only exception." Harley exclaimed with a feeling of excitement when Leena was giving left and right to Regina. She even tamed the devil making him oblige to her wishes.

'Good that I am an exception.' Leena inwardly thought to herself. She contrarily thought of bringing him to his knees to wipe the floor otherwise.

"I can see he is a little aggressive sometimes. He needs his screws to be tightened a little." Leena stretched her hands and cracked her knuckles as if ready to fix him. Out of blue, her eyes flickered onto Regina who has tossed daggers at Leena before she left the room.

"Does she have a mental problem?" Leena asked in a whisper pointing her eyes towards Regina.

"I hate her," Reese added not liking the way she was examining Leena from top to bottom.

"Ah!! That bummer! She is a phsyco, pretends to be the beach but in actuality, she is a quicksand." Harley retorted with disdain and suddenly remembering the day she saw her fingers which Regina has nipped until it turned brown. "You know what! Once I went to the washroom and she was also_"

RING RING

Harley has to stop her thoughts when her mobile began echoing in the room. Noticing the caller ID, she declined the call and went back to chit chat but even before she could speak further with Leena, she was interrupted by the call again.

"What's his problem now." Harley cursed him with all the foul words she could come up with when he is not giving a break to talk. Reluctantly, she has to pick it up.

"What!!!" Harley stressed, lifting the call.

"Didn't I tell you to bring her to my office?" A pressing voice came from him. His deep and powerful voice even reverberated into Leena's ears crisp and clear.

"Tell him that I am not showing up." Leena's voice sounded serious and it straight away reached Devin.

"Tell her that she owns me a favor, Harley," Devin stated, knowing that Leena is listening to him.

Leena pulled the mobile from Harley's hands when she heard him talk about the bet which they made in Seattle.

"You are shamelessly talking about that after tricking me into playing that stupid game," Leena yelled when she remembered the name game which she played along with him. He knew her name already but still conned her to play it.

"How is that my problem if you believe on_"

Leena cut the call instantly not planning to hear his stupid logic. With a frustrated sigh, she turned to face Reese and Harley. A shock was plastered on both the woman's faces hearing Leena and Devin's at each other's throats. Leena knew the roots of their confusion but she has no mood to clear them now. She has a more pressing matter to deal with and that is Devin.

"Do you know him already, Leena?" Reese asked. She has never heard Leena speaking to any man but she was going all bandy words with Devin.

"We will talk about it later, Reese." She said and glanced at Harley."Can you take me to his office,"

With a slight nod, Harley led the way to Devin's room and when Leena informed them that she wanted to talk to him alone, Reese and Harley walked out. Though Reese was confused by Leena's behavior, she didn't probe further when Leena has already informed that she would speak about it at home. She already has a hunch of her reply but she wanted the confirmation from her.

Right after Harley and Reese left, Leena stood there watching the massive yet stylish office neat and organized. As expected from him. But the man in question has not made an appearance after demanding her presence. Leena was about to turn around to scan the area, she heard his footsteps followed by the door being pushed open.

"You got to be bold enough to challenge me, sweetheart." Devin strolled towards her not before locking the door when two doorkeepers are waiting outside trying to listen to the conversation.

"Aren't you aware of my fierce attitude? The doors will be opened to those who are bold enough to knock and that's me." Leena turned around to face him solely. It was the first time Leena was seeing him all professional. The three-button solid navy blue suit was tailored to precisely match the contour of his body, giving him a lithesome appearance and it was standing on par with his suave attitude. He radiates an air of confidence wherever he stands but she must say, the arrogance in his demeanor always sits on his crown which Leena always likes that in him.

"Well, I can't deny that!" He chuckled and marched forward towards Leena. "So, am I qualified to get your number now?"

"No," Leena stepped back and in her anxious state, she opened her mobile to call Reese but with a flick of his finger, Devin knocked the phone out of Leena's hand and grasped it in his hand.

"We still have things to settle, darling." Having said that, on a spur of moment, he lifted Leena with one hand by her waist and pulled to his embrace. With the sudden movement, she gasped for air holding his shoulders.

"Did you figure out why I have given the charming bracelet?" He whispered and yanked the swivel chair vigorously with his foot which was resting behind her. Placing her on the chair gingerly, he locked his hands on the armrest without giving her a chance to move.

Leena: " "

'Is he trying to give me heartache! What is that stunt he pulled just now!!'

"I couldn't figure out. Why don't you tell it?" Leena countered. She could sense that he carries feelings but she wants confirmation from him. Leena doesn't want to confess her feelings right after knowing that he fooled her because right now she is not in a clear state of mind. Maybe after her anger subdues, she planned to talk to him if he is still acting stubborn enough.

"Before I tell you about it, let me get your number. Since we are business partners, it's a fair reason to get your number." Devin slid the mobile and to his surprise, it neither asked for a fingerprint nor a PIN. A reckless brat, he scolded her. She can't even put on a password and she is a renowned cyberpunk.

Right when Devin opened the keypad to save his number, the realization hit her suddenly. Leena has saved his number already and it happens to be with a name which she would get teased if he sees it. The damage has already transpired when she watched his astonished face.

"How can you grab my mobile without my permission, idiot?"Leena instantly pulled out her mobile from his clasps.

"You stole my number, dacoit!!" Devin asked in surprise. When he began keying the number, he could see the number was already on the search list. The question was when and how did she get the number. There was a possibility that she might have hacked his account. If that was the case, she would have known his name already.

"I_I didn't steal it. In fact, I don't know that it's your number. It might be Leah. She might have saved it on my mobile. Do you think the great Leena needs your number? In your dreams." Leena yelled and she was no more scared to use her name in front of him.

"I really doubt it's Leah. She doesn't have a pervert mind to save it with a kinky name 'My Deep-V-Diver' unlike you. With that being said, I can conclude that it's you. But the question is, why did you name that?" Devin asked in amus.e.m.e.nt. He has not expected his number to be on her mobile and on top of that, the name she has saved surprised him even more.

'Perhaps she started to like me to get my number?' He questioned himself.

"I_I...." Caught red-handed, Leena did not know what kind of story, she could add to make him believe now.

"How can you know the depth of it when we haven't even gone that far? Shall we test it to see how deep it goes?" He leaned forward studying her face which has veered her cheeks to red.

"I_I didn't mean that when I saved it," Leena clarified. Truth to be told, Leena did not save his contact name in that verse which Devin was implying. If Leena dwells on just theories, Devin was making it practical.

"I_I have to go." She pushed him away with all her might and dashed away before he could catch her. Her rationality was being thrown out of the window when he started speaking all dirty.

"I have to sew my mouth for calling him an innocent creature," Leena cried scolding herself.
