CHAPTER 23
His hand casually glides down from my face, to the button of my blazer as he slowly undoes the two buttons.
Well, I'm too.. erm, caught under his spell to do anything. Let's see where it goes.
He reaches to the hem of my shirt, as he loosens my tie until the silk tie is hanging across my chest.
Not a few minutes after that, he grabs me by the collar and pulls me closer. Then, he starts undoing the buttons.
Holy fuck, he wants to do it in the elevator. The elevator of my office. I can't believe it.
"Lucas. What are you doing? We're at my—" I mutter, as he places a finger on my lips, indicating me to stop. Eh?
"You have an amazing body. Why cover it with clothes?" He archs his eyebrow and cocks his head to one side.
His voice is low, tempting — seductive. That's turning me on, at this moment. The question he asked me, is indecently sexy.
"Because I have to." I grin at him.
He comes closer as he runs a hand through my hair, grasping it as he pushes me against the elevator wall.
I kiss him, as I allow my tongue to explore his mouth, as he languorously teases my tongue with his.
I quickly break away, as I press the door lock button on the elevator with the help of the fingerprint sensor. Technology.
I'm panting heavily from the kiss but I lean in for another kiss but he goes down and places a few stray kisses down my neck.
"Holy fuck… What are you doing to me?" I ask him, as I pull him closer to me and I pull his chin up towards me.
He doesn’t answer, but he tugs at my hair as his hand brushes past my crotch and I groan.
Suddenly, something in the breast pocket of my blazer, vibrates which startles us both. I search out my phone, and realise it's vibrating.
But why? I unlock my iPhone as the time reminder of the meeting flashes on my screen. Fuck, the meeting is at sharp 12:00 pm and it's 11:57 already! I don't do the late thing! What is this Carter guy doing to me?
"Lucas, the meeting is at 12:00 and it's 11:57 already. I have to go! I'll call you on my office." I remark.
"Okay. Your loss, baby." He smirks.
I quickly fix my clothes and pull the blazer a bit down. Thank heavens for my blazer, it hides my humiliating erection.
With one last look at him, I unlock the elevator as the elevator reaches the 40 th floor, and the doors open.
I get out of the elevator, and so does Lucas. He goes to the left, and me to the right as we part ways.
I push open the silver doors of the huge meeting room as I get inside, fixing my attitude, as if nothing happened. I'm pretty good at it.
The meeting is pissing my ass off already. How many times have I told my staff not to be so paranoid and do as their said? A hundred thousand times but they never fucking listen.
I can't believe that I left one of my hottest making out, leaving Lucas estranged due to this miserable meeting? Goodness, I'm too pissed to actually think straight.
"Are you asking us to liquidate the steel industry?" Peter asks me.
"Yes." I snap, my voice is clipped.
"Mr. Godfrey, the steel company can be included in ours. They can heavily profit us." Graves continues.
"I don't think I want it that way." I stare daggers at him.
"Sir, I think Peter has a point here." Natalie spurts out.
My attention snaps back to her, as she tosses some papers towards me and asks me to go through them.
"It has the statistics of the firm of the company for the last 5 years. They are pretty good. If we include—" She stops in mid-sentence as I put my hand up, signalling her to stop.
"Liquidate the company." I state it in such a tone, which makes all of the people understand that it's the final decision.
I get up from my plush leather chair, and I walk out of the meeting room.
I find myself in my office as I decide to call Natalie.
"Natalie, send me my drink, and a croissant and have Lucas Carter sent in my office."
"Consider it done, sir."
I hang up. I'll have to finish what I left midway, with Lucas. It's gonna be hot.
