Chapter 29

"Shhh..." he stopped me from saying anything. He covered my mouth, so I wouldn't make any noise.

What is he going to do? And why do I seem so excited?

"The meeting is over. I miss you, Celestine" he said in a hoarse voice.

I miss her blue eyes. I haven't seen those eyes in almost a month.

"W-how are you-"

He didn't let me finish what I was saying. He immediately kissed me on the lips. I step backwards, my back hitting the sink.

The way he kissed me was so violent. I put both my hands on the edge of the sink. I was taken aback by what he was doing.

Markus seemed so eager for my lips. I couldn't help but kiss him back.

I feel like he's not really gone. They've just changed personalities, but they're still the same for me.

One kiss. They kissed the same way.

Markus grabbed my waist when he felt me pull back. He supported my hips so they wouldn't press against the sink.

I gasped when he turned me around. I saw my face in the mirror. My cheeks were red. Even my lips were red and wet.

It was slightly open, panting as we both kissed.

Markus fixed my hair. He pulled it back, placing it on the side of my shoulder. My neck was now exposed to his gaze. He ran his finger along my neck.

It gave me a tickle. I couldn't help but bite my lip.

I could see the desire in his eyes. They say that a blue flame is hotter than red fire. I think I believe it. His eyes almost lit up with intense desire.

"Do you miss me? You haven't answered my question in a while..."

"Of course, I miss you..."

"Did Marko do anything strange while I was away?" he asked carefully.

Why is he asking? Does he think I can focus on what he's asking while we're in this position? My legs are shaking, something is poking behind me. I know it's his manhood.

I'm worried. Should we do it here? This place is not spacious. Will we have a hard time?

So much obscenity entered my brain. My wandering spirit only woke up when I heard Markus' soft laughter. He hugged me. We looked at each other in the mirror.

"W-why?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry. I won't take you here. So relax. I just miss you"

How did he know what I was thinking? Can he read my mind?

"I don't need to guess how you feel. Your expression says it all," he replied.

I was speechless. I felt embarrassed. Am I really this transparent about my feelings?

"Don't feel embarrassed, Celestine. If only you could read what's on my mind. Maybe you'll run and hide. You don't know how much I want to own you."

Oh Marcus! I can't say anything.

We looked at each other as someone knocked outside the powder room.

"T-there's someone outside..." I said in a small voice.

Markus sighed loudly.

"Why does someone always have to disturb us when we're this intimate?" Markus whispered softly. It was more a question for him, not for me.

"Come on, let's go outside, Celestine"

He grabbed my hand but I stopped him.

"We can't be seen together," I reasoned.

I quickly explained because I could see his face starting to frown.

"Who said that?"

"Markus, remember. You have a legal wife," I reminded him.

"You know?" I saw the nervousness in his eyes.

"Yeah," I answered curtly. I didn't elaborate on what I said.

Markus closed his eyes tightly. He was in a bad mood.

"Fuck that marriage!"

"Markus-"

"Go! I'm still using the powder room!" Markus shouted loudly to the person outside the powder room.

I heard the panic of the person outside. The person apologized when he realized that Markus was inside.

Markus turned to me.

"Let's go. There's no one outside. You are staying in my office now."

"No. I have a lot of work to do."

"I'm the CEO, I'll take care of you"

"No, Markus. You're being so unfair to other employees when you do that."

"What do I care about this company? If this is the only reason to prevent us from being together, I'd better just close it down!"

My eyes widened!

"Markus, I'll just finish the files and when I'm done, I'll go to your office"

"Do it in my office."

"Markus" I said in a warning tone.

Markus seems to be just as stubborn as Marko. They are almost the same. The only difference is their eyes. I thought Markus was easier to talk to than Marko. I was wrong.

"I don't want to let you out of my sight."

"Markus, please..." My voice was pleading.

He looked away. He turned his back on me and unlocked the door. He went out but also stopped for a moment and looked back at me.

"Let's go if we don't leave yet. I'll change my mind and I won't let you go."

I smiled. Markus was easier to talk to than Marko. I take back what I said earlier!

"Thank you," I said happily.

He held my hand. When I was close to my department, I let go of his hold on me.

I had a hard time at first because he didn't want to let go of our hands.

"Markus..."

"Fuck!"

"Markus, your mouth!"

"Why do you have to torture me every day?" he asked in a strained voice.

His face was frowning.

"We'll be together later when we get home. You don't need to be dramatic, Markus."

"What? We'll be together at the villa?!" he asked in surprise.

"Yes. We also share a room. We are always together. Even at lunch, we are together," I explained at length.

"What the hell! Fuck Marko! What is he doing while I'm gone?!"

He looked lost.

"So let go of my hand, and I'll get to work", I simply said.

He looked at our hands. He reluctantly let go of them.

"If only I had known you were at the Villa. I would have come home earlier."

I was stunned. A thorn was pulled out of my chest because of what I heard. All I had in mind last night was him and Sabrina together. Turns out I was thinking wrong.

"Markus! Your back!" Mr. Ares exclaimed with a smile.

"You're losing respect for me, Ares. You should call me Mr. Sullivan," his face was serious when he said that.

I was nervous. Will they fight in front of me? But I was surprised when Mr. Ares slapped Markus on the shoulder. Mr. Ares laughed.

"You don't need to pretend, Markus. Celestine already knows everything."

"What?"

His brow furrowed even more. The bad mood he was feeling increased.

"Damn, Marko! What did I not know he did?"

"Well, nothing. He behaved. He didn't cause any trouble" Mr. Ares said.

"Behave huh? I doubt that. I can find out about everything he has done in the past day. And what trouble he started that I need to fix"

Trouble? I remembered my dream about Marko.

"Hmm... I have to go." I interrupted their conversation.

Madam Violeta will scold me if I don't finish the pending files. Even though I've already submitted the important documents. There are still files that need to be completed within this week.

"Are we going home together?" Markus asked in a small voice. He avoided my gaze.

I don't know if he's embarrassed to ask that.

I smiled.

"Yeah. We go home together, eat dinner and I sleep in your room. We sometimes sleep next to each other when you're not busy."

"W-what the..."

"Markus! Why is your face red?" Mr. Ares asked, laughing. He even touched Markus' cheek. He poke it.

"Damn! Don't touch me!" he said angrily.

Mr. Ares laughed out loud.

"You're really slow. Marko is faster than you. He's already on second base!" he teased Markus.

"Shut up!"

I just shook my head at the two of them arguing. I left them there.

"Oh Celes, where are you from? Your meeting ended a while ago, right?" Lindy asked me bluntly.

I sat down in my cubicle before answering her question.

"I just went to the powder room."

I said. There was some truth to it. I just didn't include the kiss between Markus and me. I'm sure Lindy would scream with excitement when she found out.

Lindy is very talkative. The whole building will be talking about us if they find out.

"Did you wear lipstick? Your lips are so pinkish. What shade is that?" She asked curiously.

I touched my lips.

"N-no. I don't wear lipstick" I said nervously.

"Really? If only I knew you didn't have a boyfriend. I would think you kissed someone," Lindy said, laughing.

I choked on my own saliva.

"Lindy!" I scolded.

"Oh! Oh! Why are you blushing? Did you really kiss someone?" She teased.

"N-no! Stop it Lindy. Someone might hear you. They'll think I kissed someone else."

'Even if it's true' my mind said.

"Hahaha just kidding, Celes"

I just rolled my eyes. I was laughing too. Lindy and her mouth.
