Purple Romance

Chapter 68: 68 I am going to start seducing you, Miss Lee!! 2.

'Youhow dare you try to even kiss the CEO? Are you looking for a quick death?'

'She even clung unto him like a glue'

'She still thinks the CEO is a young boy that she could seduce?'

'You are FIRE!!! FIRE!!!FIRE!!!'.

Maria shook and turned her body as she dreamt. She was dreaming of the various scenarios that could possibly happen to her once she went into the CEO's office.

After returning from lunch, she laid her head on the table wanting to take a short nap before her four hours elapsed and ended up having various dreams about what would happen.

'No, no, don't fire me. I promise to behave well. No, I can receive any other punishment apart from being fired'

She kept struggling in her sleep and her posture turned awkward. Almost half of her body was hanging away from the chair.

Ad-Din looked at the woman who was struggling in her sleep and frowned. He looked at his wrist watch and noticed it was already past 20:30PM. It was also raining heavily outside too.

He had been consumed with work that he almost forgot about her. It was Paul who told him Maria was napping in her office before he left.

Ad-Din bit on the apple in his hand and chewed before walking closer to Maria. He barely got closer when she fell down from the chair and woke up from her sleep.

Maria touched her butt and frowned.

She couldn't believe she fell asleep so fast and even had a dream. She saw a shadow towering over her and slowly lifted her head meeting Ad-Din's gaze.

'What are you doing on the floor? Do you enjoy sitting on the floor that much?' Ad-Din asked casually and bit the apple while taking a seat on her chair which was now empty.

Maria glared at him and attempted to stand up and stuttered backwards and the man's swiftly held her hand and pulled her towards himself.

She sat on his laps and her whole body stiffened. Ad-Din wrapped his two hands around her and pushing her further to his body. Maria found her hands touching the man's chest and could feel his heartbeat which made her flush and found her own heart racing high too.

In the dimly lit office, there were probably the only two people there in the building. They were now staring at each other, their heartbeat in sync rising and falling together at the same pace and time. The tranquillity in their eyes and the longing they both secretly harboured towards each other intensified making them get lost in each other.

It was all peaceful until the man started feeling his lower part reacting to the woman sitting on his laps. He had to do something before he ended up having several cold showers because of her.

'Do you remember now? What happened last night? What you did to me?' Ad-Din looking into her eyes.

Maria felt he could see through her soul with those eyes. She immediately got up from his laps and straightened her skirt and took a step back not daring to look into his eyes.

'Did you not get it? Or do you need me to go further and tell you into details what exactly it is you did and how you did it? Last night?' Ad-Din bit the apple again.

Maria watched how his Adams' apple moved up and down as he chewed the apple and bit her lips. His lips looked enticing and she wanted to feel them.

Ad-Din noticed how she looked at him and his gaze darkened. He tilted his head to one side. His actions were intentional and his aim also intentional. He intended to seduce her and he realised he was succeeding and a smile spread across his lips.

Maria slapped her self and shook her head, trying her best to stay sane.

'Are you going to fire me?' She asked and Ad-Din frowned.

'Why do you think I am going to fire you?' Ad-Din asked and Maria culled her fingers looking down.

'Because I behaved inappropriate towards you last night? I promise, I really have no hidden motives. I was drunk. It was a drunken mistake'. Maria said feeling ashamed of herself.

'Looks like you remember it after all? You didn't remember it before? How did you suddenly recover those memories?' Ad-Din asked and stood up from the chair. He put the apple down and walked slowly towards her.

'I just remembered it suddenly. I promise it will never happen again. Give me a chance to prove myself. I really can't loss this job. It means a lot to me and I want to do better'. Maria said and found herself being trapped to a corner by the man again.

'That's quite sad. I really wanted to let you off for what you did since you didn't remember it? But, now that you remember it already, we can't pretend it never happened, can we? We are both people who have such good memory, how can we pretend it never happened?' Ad-Din said and leaned, bending his body to meet her level.

'I' Maria opened and closed her mouth again before closing her eyes and said 'can you please move away?'

'Why? I like it this way, Maria Portia Lee' Ad-Din said and looked daring at her.

'I can't think straight if you keep standing so close to me. I might even misunderstand and take your actions to mean something else' Maria said and blushed.

'Maria, do I make you nervous? Why do you never look at me when we are standing so close to each other? You are allowed to misunderstand'. Maria looked up and their faces were now close to each other.

'You are allowed to interpret my actions anyhow you want, because whatever you are thinking is right'. Ad-Din added not taking his eyes off her.

Maria blushed and felt her heartbeat racing even more faster. What did he mean by saying those words? Didn't he know the weight his words carried?

'I was trying my best not to behave inappropriate with you, but after what you did, I can't stop having inappropriate thoughts about you. You are the one who started this so you have to take responsibility for it but, I will not allow you to escape from me this time around'.

'Whatare you trying to say?' Maria asked hoarsely.

'Make your own meaning out of it. All I want you to know is this. From this moment going, I am going to seduce you, Miss Lee. I don't care how long it has been since we last saw each other. All I know is that, I want you. I want to sleep with you and I want to sleep next to you'.

Maria's face turned crimson as she listened to him. Was he always this proactive? This was always how he was, even back then and now.

'Maria'. Ad-Din mentioned her name sensually and she responded.

'Mmm'

Her voice was soft and slow, gentle and quiet that he almost missed it.

'You don't have to do anything. Just stay where you are and let me come to you just like back then, let me be the one who fights for us. I will show you that I am no longer a powerless teenager who can't protect the woman he loves. I will remove every obstacle that will come between us and sure you are the happiest woman in the world'.

Maria looked at him and tears trimmed down her cheeks.

One of the reasons why she didn't dare to even imagine been with him was because she didn't have the confidence to be with him. Their social standing was too wide and she was scared that another Karen would come in between them. She really didn't have the guts nor the courage to put her fears away and fight for what she wanted.

After hearing from him and finding out he too didn't stop liking her after all these years, she couldn't stop the tears from falling. It was like all the nights she dreamt about him. All the nights she couldn't sleep because she kept thinking about him were all washed away.

Maria opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She couldn't say anything because she was so touched by his words. She was so touched by his actions and felt that no words could explain or express how she felt at the moment. She silently even prayed that this wasn't a dream because she didn't want to wake up from it.

Ad-Din saw her tears and sighed pulling her into a tight hug saying 'why are you crying, silly woman? Are you that touched by what I said?' Maria nodded her head as she snuggled into his embraced. She could feel his heartbeat. No, she could hear it. Being in his embrace gave her security.

And just like that, the two stayed in each other's embrace for a long time. They didn't even realise the rain had stopped raining for a while. They were too busy sniffing each other's scents to care about that.
