บท 38: I need truth

Anger built in Adrian on watching Katherine with David.

As a CEO he could not show openly his feelings to her. So he made a call to Katherine to come to his cabin. He doesn't want to show his anger and jealousy to her. He doesn't want her to know how much she affects his heart.

He quietly sat in the chair thinking about why she left him a few years back.

…..

When he saw her come in, he stood up and stood in front of Katherine. He said, "I want to say something to you".

She looked at him and noticed the anger in his eyes. She knew the reason as she was talking with David.

" What were you doing with David in your cabin? Do you forget that you are in the workplace? " He asked her in a serious tone.

She didn't say anything. He got angry and was ready to say more "You can't be with David in the office. You have to be my secretary and see that you keep your personal life far away from the professional life" He said.

She was afraid of him. She didn't want to lose her job. So she replied with "I didn't do anything with David."

Then she replied." David asked me to join lunch as it is a noon break. Nothing more going between us" she replied with a shivering voice.

He was quiet for a moment. He inhaled and exhaled slowly and looked at Katherine. He had a lot to say to her. He came close to her with anger and anger beyond his control.

He spoke in a warning tone. "I don't want you to see David again. If I see you again, I will fire you from this job"

She replied in a scared voice, "I'm sorry. I will call David to cancel the lunch."

He smirked at her and said, " I don't want you to see happiness with the other man. I won't harm you but I can't promise what will happen to the man who tries to be close with you" in a dangerous tone.

She gulped her throat and her legs started trembling with fear. He walked closer to her and trailed his finger from her cheek to her neck.

" Remember my words in your mind." He whispered in her earlobe.

" I will not harm you. But I will make you regret it if you see him again," he said and continued.

" You have to work in my cabin till your work time completes this evening. No lunch break for you" he said in a stern voice.

" I will work here till 5 PM," she agreed.

" Good," he replied.

She walked towards the door to bring her laptop to his cabin. He placed his palm on her hand which was on the doorknob. Instantly she turned her head and looked at him as her heart was racing fast.

" Where are you going?" He asked her.

" To...bring...my laptop...which was in my cabin" she stuttered.

He examined her face and took away his palms. But he surprised her by twirling her towards him suddenly. Immediately he pinned her to the door and leaned closer to her body.

" I need to ask you one question?" He asked, looking into her eyes. She could not blink her eyes as she was dying to feel his presence for a few years.

It had been a long time, she saw him so close to her. She could feel his hot breath on her neck.

" Why are you working here as you were engaged to the rich man six years back?" He asked.

She was taken back by his question with shock but she recovered swiftly. She opened her mouth and closed it like a fish.

She felt a shiver in her spine.

" I want the truth…" he said in a dangerous tone.
