Chapter 8: The Visit

Anastasia Honchar's POV

Worst. Day. Ever.

I did not know that working in this company as a chemist would require a lot of approval, especially from that nasty, old man. I did not respect him or would want to. I did some research about the gang member that was attacking me and I suspected he was behind all those.

I was knocked onto his office as he gestured me to get inside. He was happy to see me. I smiled back because I don't want to be impolite as I was just started my internship at this company.

"Ms. Honchar. It was good to see you. How are you adapting to the lab?" He asked me and I told him that it was fine and more than I can ask for. He nodded.

"Good, good. so, why are you here?" He asked me as he tried to hide the smirk that was almost playing on his lips. I wanted to kill this guy.

"well, I have some paperwork that I need your signature," apparently, we need the approval of a corporate just to get a dose of dopamine for the drug that we were creating and testing in the labs but I did not add that part. I smiled as he took the paperwork. He purposely touched my hand. I tried to hide my disgust.

"well, here you go. You looked tired. Are you sure you don't want to take a break or just go for a drink in the bar? My treat," he said happily but I shook my head. I would glad to take more jobs if that means that I was getting away from you, creep.

"no, I have to make sure it will be all done today. My supervisor was freaking out if I don't finish it today," I said as I was standing from the door. He stood as well as he nodded at me.

"then, allow me to escort you to the lab," he said but I cut him off.

"no, that would be unnecessary. I will let myself out. Thank you though," I said before I scurried out of his office. I did not turn back just in case he was staring at me, smirking as he was checking my ass. I closed my eyes as I went down to the lab. oh, I hope that someone would not do that to me, ever.

it was 7 PM and most of my colleagues were gone. well, they have been gone ever since 5:30 PM, which was the official time to leave. But apparently, interns like me have to stay late.

What a good coincidence considering that my supervisor wanted me to check her work for me. I nodded as she was staring down on me before leaving the office smugly. I groaned as I looked at the paperwork. Damn it.

I groaned after I finished the last paperwork. I looked at the clock it was 9 PM and my stomach was grumbling as I know I did not eat dinner yet. All I have for lunch was a chicken skewer and water. now, I felt like I was not eating for months.

after I put all the paperwork on my table in their order, I took my bag and badge to get out of the lab. it was not too late as I know that there were some people from another department to do their job.

I went through the door before someone holds my arm. I shrieked as I was ready to attack before that someone was none other than the old man. Seriously, he did not give up to get into my pants. And I saw that he had taken off his wedding band. I felt sorry for his wife.

"Ms. Honchar. What a pleasant surprise. It was late not to have some dinner but I was on my way to get some food. Would you like to have dinner with me?" He asked as he was looking very hopeful of his plan today and maybe tonight if he was lucky.

I smiled at him before I positioned myself away from him as I was getting out of his hold. He frowned at me. I tucked my hair behind my back before I pretended to look at my phone like someone texted me.

"Sorry, I have pre-existing engagement already. I hope we can do it at a later time?" I asked. please, do not say tomorrow.

"how about tomorrow then?" Damn it.

"I'm sorry to burst your bubble but she had something else going on tomorrow as well," a voice that was punching through the silence. I closed my eyes as I was biting my lower lips before I turned around and saw him there. Marco Thorn, no scratch that, Marco Conti. Jeez, can he leave me for a second without interfering with my life?

"and who are you, may I ask?" The old man asked him. He chuckled before he draped his hand around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"I'm her husband, Marco and I assumed you are her boss," he said as he looked at my boss. He flinched. I never knew that Marco can be very intimidating if he wanted to.

"well, I have something to do. If you excuse me, Mr. Honchar, Anastasia," he said before he went to past through us. Marco chuckled with amusement but let him through. I rolled my eyes as I looked at his retreating figure and now Marco.

"can you not interfere with my life? And how on earth did you even get in here? It's for personnel only," I said as I showed him my badge before I crossed my arms in front of my chest. He smirked as he was putting his hands inside his denim pockets. He looked so delicious right now.

Get your head out of the gutter, Anna. I reminded myself as this person was dangerous and I don't play nice with them. I killed them. With my poison.

"right and you would like to have dinner with that adultery man anyway? seriously, why can't you be glad for once that I saved you. And you know how much I save you," he has a point. Without him last night, I might be dead by now. I blushed as I turned to look away from him. I can sense that he was smirking even wider.

suddenly, he pulled me closer by the waist as I can sense my breasts were touching his chest. My eyes were wide as a saucer and I can feel his hot breath on my face.

"what are you doing?" I hissed at him. He chuckled before he tucked my hair behind my ears.

"your boss is watching. He would not believe I was your husband if I did not touch you intimately, right?" He asked as he was looking into my eyes. His emerald orbs were shining with mischief. I gulped. I did not like where will this be leading to.

"Can I kiss you?" bingo!

"What? why?" I asked as I was looking behind him. He was right. My boss was watching us as I can sense that he did not buy our act if I was acting like a stiff board around my said husband.

"come on, loosen yourself a bit. I'm not gonna bite," he said as he was laughing that made his eyes wrinkled. He looked so pretty like a devil right now. I gulped as he was getting closer and closer as he was talking to me. My boss might think that he was whispering sweet nothing to me.

"I can't. I don't trust you remember? You drugged last time we kissed. How can I be sure that you will not be doing that again?" I asked as I narrowed my eyes at him. He chuckled darkly as he was looking at my lips before he looked into my eyes.

"last time was for security measure. But this time," he said as he was smirking at me before he turned to look at my boss. He waved a hand at him. He flustered before going inside his office. Marco turned to look at me again.

"it was a claim to tell everyone to back off," he said and with that, he claimed my mouth like he fucking owned it.

I was surprised but it did not take me long to respond to his kiss. It was magnetic. He was magnetic. His soft lips crashed over mine and I was biting and sucking his lower lips. He groaned before pulling me closer again.

"Damn, Anastasia. You made it impossible to control me," he said as he was grinding onto me. I can sense what he was talking about before he claimed my lips again.

I snaked my arms around his neck as I can sense my chest was crushing with his. He can sense my arousal before he broke to take a step further. I whimpered. He chuckled before chastened my lips.

"not here, my love and I think I need to find you first. You did not eat anything since lunch," he said as he was looking at me in my eyes. I was in a daze. How come he was not affected by the kiss as I did.

"care to join for a quick dinner? I promise I will be civil," he said as he laughed at me. I simply nodded, lost for words to talk.

"well, what are we waiting for?" He said before he took my hand and we were out of here.
