Married to the loveless CEO-Chapter 68: Feelings

She followed Caleb to a study where Mr. Lee was already waiting for her.

"Welcome doctor," he began half-heartedly. She didn’t respond, she just nodded at him. She didn’t know why this man made her so nervous, was it because he almost strangled her to death yesterday.

She knew she was playing with fire, with danger and dangerous people but it was as if the more she tried to get out of the hole, the deeper she fell in despite the danger signs.

"Have a seat," he offered and she sat on a couch placed sideways in front of him. There was a table in front of her, she turned to face him.

"I want you to be Finland’s personal doctor," he requested. Cia didn’t know what to say, come to this place again? Is she crazy?

"You look like someone we can trust which is an attribute I look out for before hiring anyone. I don’t just hire anyone.

"I have a heart condition so I’ll also be needing your services. Finland...he may look tough and invincible but he’s prone to fall ill easily. "Sometimes he is reckless and may get hurt so we will be needing you in case anything arises," Mr. Lee elaborated.

"Uhm, I’m sorry Mr. Lee. But I’m not interested, I hope you find someone else before any serious issue arises," Cia replied.

She stood up; "Please excuse me, I must take my leave now."

"It wasn’t a request to consider," he informed.

"You are the reason my son got stabbed yesterday. Don’t you feel ashamed of saying that? You should feel guilty and feel obliged to do this. It’s not like it’s free, you’ll get paid... it’s a win win for everyone," he enlightened.

"I’m not interested, Mr. Lee. My safety is my priority," she responded and he laughed.

"Do you think we’re dangerous people?" he asked, she didn’t reply but her silence just answered his question obviously.

"(Sigh) And you think you’ll be safer not accepting my offer. (Scoffs) 24hrs, that’s all I’m giving you to think about it and I do have some few strings attached," he said and glanced at her.

What is this? Is she being threatened for not accepting to be someone’s personal doctor? Was it by force or a must for her to be their doctor? There were hundreds of thousands of doctors out there, why her?

"You will not, never, ever, even think of falling for my son plus... you should refuse to be his woman if he asks you to. Are we clear? Do think about it very well," Mr. Lee continued, a dangerous smirk on his face.

"Goodbye, Doctor Sentencia Norman." he added sardonically.

She immediately turned to leave, being in the same room with that man was toxic. She needs to get the hell out of this place.

Davian picked up his phone to call Becca again, she was running kinda late.

"Are you getting closer Becca? The house isn’t supposed to be that hard to find," he said once she had picked up the call.

{I’m getting closer...oh no...}

"What is it?" he asked on alert.

{Ah, I think it’s about to rain}

"Oh. Okay hurry up and get here quickly so that the files wouldn’t get wet," Davian instructed.

{Copy that}

Davian ended the call and walked over to the window, it was truly going to rain. He just hopes Becca comes in time before it starts but the rain started falling immediately he thought that.

Becca didn’t come any sooner, not until about ten minutes time. She and the files got drenched in the rain.

"Argh!" Davian voiced as he removed the files from the envelope.

"I’m sorry, I should have kept it in a waterproof case if I knew it was going to rain," Becca apologized.

He sighed, "It’s okay,"

They spreaded the papers and used some hand dryers to dry them all up.

"Now, you need to get changed so that you won’t get a cold," Davian said to Becca once they were done, she nodded and he took her upstairs to his room.

"I don’t think the rain will stop any sooner, it’s already getting late but it’s still falling heavily. I think you will have to spend the night here Becca," Davian suggested. He turned towards her and his eyes fell on Becca’s bosoms as she had already took off her blouse and was only on her skirt and bra.

He raised his eyes immediately to focus only on her face.

"Okay," she replied, her blouse in her arms.

"Do you want to take a hot bath?" he asked.

"Sure," she responded.

He nodded, "Okay, just prepare and take it at the bathroom of this room,"

"You can wear any of my clothes from the dressing room that suits you, when you are done," he continued, Silvia might not like it if he gives Becca any of her clothes.

"There’s a hand dryer at that drawer for your hair. I’ll take your clothes to go get dry cleaned and check on you later," he added and she just nodded.

He walked out and came back later to check on her as promised. He knocked on the door and only opened when he confirmed from her that she was fully dressed.

He walked in, she was standing up about to dry her damp blonde hair. His eyes went from her head to toes. She was just on his long sleeve t-shirt.

"Wouldn’t you want to wear something below? So that you won’t feel cold," he pointed out but she shook her head.

"I’m good Davian, thank you," she responded.

He sighed and walked closer to her, her heart was beating faster the closer he got.

"You buttoned it wrong," he informed. Her eyes went downwards, it was true.

"I hope you are wearing something in?" he asked and she nodded. Her heart skipped a beat when he started to unbutton the shirt.

His grey eyes focused on her bright amber ones. To her, it was the most seductive thing that has happened between them so far. But Davian was just being respectful and didn’t want to see her undies.

He finished to unbutton the shirt and started to button it up again. She held his hand when he was already half way through. What her mind and heart keeps telling her to do is going to either be the bravest thing or the most stupidest thing she has done.

She clashed her lips against his and kissed him with all the love that she felt. She let go and stared into his eyes. He didn’t kiss her back, he was surprised.

She wanted to kiss him again but he turned away then moved away from her.

"Davian," she called softly as she holds his arm. He removed his arm from her grasps.

"I’m going to act like that never happened," he said and it broke her heart.

"Davian, please...I know you know I have feelings for you. Don’t you know confessing your feelings to a man is the hardest thing a woman can do? It’s because I’m crazy about you, Davian," she confessed her feelings.

"I’m sorry, Becca. I don’t feel the same way, please let this not spoil the friendship between us," he replied.

"I love you and I’m ready to wait. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting? Since the first day I set my eyes on you. You don’t have to love me now, you can learn to love me later," she felt like she was about to break down as he rejects her.

"I’m really sorry, Becca. Don’t wait for me anymore, I hope that someday you will find someone else that you’ll love and will love you back," he responded.

"Why, huh?!" she questioned.

"Is it because of her?" she asked referring to Silvia. He didn’t respond and it just answered her question.

"We’re the same. Do you think she’ll ever return your feelings?" she highlighted.

"Get some rest," he said and walked out of the room.

Her tears finally began to fall.

...

The next day...

Silvia was so happy to be back. Excited even, she can’t just wait to see Davian. She’s going to surprise him as she came back from the trip earlier than expected.

The car parked at the parking lot and she came out after it came to a halt. She walked into the house and was welcomed by Myne who was just walking across the entrance when she came in.

"Mrs Silvia, wow I didn’t expect you today. I thought you said you will be going away for two weeks for your business trip?" Myne questioned.

"I came back earlier as you can see. Join Noah in getting my luggage and other belongings from the car," Silvia requested.

"Okay, Mrs Silvia. Welcome once again," Myne replied, Silvia nodded at her and she moved away to go do as Silvia requested.

"Uhm wait..." Silvia stopped her.

"Is Davian in?" she asked. Myne hesitated in thoughts, how will Silvia react? But again, it’s not like anything wrong happened.

"Ah yes Mrs Silvia. With a...woman he said to be his colleague," Myne answered and walked away, not knowing the kind of time bomb she had just dropped on Silvia.

A woman?

His colleague?

And then she spotted Becca coming down from the stairs. Their eyes met, Silvia’s slowly went downwards and she saw that Becca was only on Davian’s long sleeve t-shirt.

Her heart skipped a beat.

No! It can’t be what she’s thinking, he would never do that, would he?
