Chapter 23 - So Embarrassing! (1/2)
”Sorry, I accidentally hit the brakes.” Jennet apologized with a sheepish smile.
She had actually hit on the brakes on purpose to stop her from asking the question that she couldn't answer with logic. She wouldn't be able to explain the most important parts if she were to open her mouth. She thought it would have been much better if her close friend is kept in the dark about how she had the nice smell.
Marvina glared at her. Her heart was beating like a rocket in her chest. If she's not an understanding person, she would have been cursing and even hitting her but she stopped herself from doing so because she was shivering so badly in her seat and had no strength to get angry now.
”Just don't scare me like that next time.” She said. She exhaled a big relief as she patted her chest. The sudden stop made her panic in her seat. She thought they hit something in front but her friend had accidentally hit on the brakes.
As soon as they arrived at the company, they met Luca who waited at the entrance. He was in his formal black suit, standing elegantly outside the door. He was so early today and was quite unusual for him to appear so early. Normally, he would come in later since he didn't want to be seen by his fanatic fans who would go nuts upon seeing him. It was hard being handsome.
When he saw Jennet walking beside Marvina, he said, ”Jennet, I need to see you in my office now.” His tone was indifferent. He sounded calm like always.
Jennet just nodded her head, ”Sure, Mr Tybelg.”
She glanced at Marvina and said, ”You go ahead. I'll see you later.” Her voice was weak. She was feeling uneasy with the sudden meeting request by their boss. Or maybe, she made some mistakes in her paperwork yesterday and that's why she is being called by their boss. That was what she thought to calm her mind.
Marvina smiled widely, ”Go, go. Have a nice chat!”
She couldn't contain her excitement from showing on her smiley face. Since she knew their big boss actually favours Jennet, she had been desperately hoping for them to be in a romantic relationship before proceeding on getting married in the future. It will really give a hard slap on Mira's face!
Jennet followed Luca from behind but had kept a distance from him. Walking side by side with him will only heating the atmosphere if someone saw them. Mira will surely go into a huge rage after that.
Luca glanced from his shoulder and halted. The person behind him also halted and looked at him with a surprised face.
”Yes, Mr Tybelg?” She spoked although Luca hasn't opened his mouth yet.
”Why are you so far behind?” He asked. He knew she wanted to distance herself from him but he wanted to let her know that he doesn't want her to keep the boundary between them. He wanted her to be comfortable around him and forget all about formality, if possible.
Jennet blinked at his unexpected question. Shortly, she came to a realisation. ”I wanted to minimize trouble from brewing around the company.” Her answer was direct and clear.
However, it made Luca chuckled. He turned his body towards her and crossed his arms across his chest, looking like a father who was about to give a piece of his mind.
