Wearing a blue tank top and a fitted denim skirt, I walk on the alley chin up with my aviators.
I am walking straight like I'm on a runway, well maybe because I've been working like this for five years ago.
The guards on my back were all walking wherever I go. This is so weird and annoying; I don't think that the privacy that I requested will have justice from all of these.
“Neysha Pheobe Castillo.” I said to the secretary outside his office.
The secretary's eyes were sparkling the moment she had her eyes on me.
“Yes, Ma'am! Come in!” She said excitedly.
I did not mind her high pitch tone; I understand that this is the first time she ever encountered an international model.
The moment I entered the office, I saw Daryl's amused eyes while he's on his phone.
“I'll call later.” Then he dropped.
“I don't like this set up. Remove the guards I can't even move privately.” I said immediately.
“No.” He only said.
I raised my eyebrows and rolled my eyes on him.
“How can I have my privacy when they're always there!” I can't help but raise my voice.
He shifted on his seat. “They're only asked to guard you.”
“Well I understand that but can you please tell them to hide? I look so controversial.” I said.
He raised his eyebrows again. “You are.”
We stared to each other for a while. I am glaring at him. I don't like his tone. I don't like it very much.
“Okay.”
I said and turn my back on him. What am I still doing here then?
Very useless and such a waste of time.
“Neysha.” I heard him say.
I tsk when I can still feel the familiar reaction of his voice on my veins.
I turned around sweetly. “Yes?” I asked and smile.
He seems like he got caught off guard. Why Daryl? If I can't hurt you with my anger, then let's make it something different.
“We have a meeting, later at 3 pm.” He said.
I pouted and nodded.
“Okay, I'll just be in my room.” I said and winked at him.
While walking. I can't help but smirk. Maybe he didn't expect that from me because earlier I am almost grilling him with my glares.
I only shrugged.
Daryl. Daryl. Daryl. I'm getting excited.
I walk outside with confidence and poise. The guards behind me stayed stiff, but at least they are on much distance now.
When I reached the conference room, I immediately saw Cindy beside Daryl. Well, she's here as well.
Daryl looked at me sharply, and his eyes dropped on my body.
He clenched his jaws and stood up to offer me a seat in front of him.
I smiled at him and accepted it.
I didn't even purposely do it, but when I sat his hands touched my bum.
I only raised both of my eyebrows in shock. Well, that's a normal thing for me but Daryl gasped.
I looked at him sensually and pouted. He's frowning now.
The meeting started; I am only looking at the man in front presenting the syllabus of this 6-month contract with him.
I am continuously biting my lower lip while listening, and every time I glance at Daryl, he's looking at me intently.
Now what, Daryl. Are you that much regretting that you bullshit me years ago? If not, then don't make it so obvious, baby. Not so obvious.
The last time I caught him looking at me, I winked, making him frown even more.
I chuckled inside my head. Damn, this is getting exciting.
