A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

**BRIANNA**

The day finally came to an end and I sighed tiredly. Mr. Adrian had made me do more work after the files arrangement stuff and I’m feeling quite hungry now since I didn’t get to eat lunch. I cleared my desk and packed up my things into my bag. I looked out of the window and saw that it was getting pretty late, the sun setting already. I didn’t realize it was this late. Damn Mr. Adrian for giving me extra work.

I picked up my bag and walked out of my office dragging my legs. I got food the elevator and entered it, the doors were about to slide close when somebody used their leg to stop it. I looked up at the person and saw that it was Mr. Adrian. I rolled my eyes at him and brought my phone out of my bag and started playing games, I made sure that it was in the highest volume because I didn’t want to have any conversation with him and I also wanna annoy him.

He walked in and stood close to me. The doors slid close and began the journey to the first floor. I continued with my games as if he wasn’t there but I started feeling uneasy when I felt eyes on me. I raised my head and caught Mr. Adrian staring at me; my eyes locked with Mr. Adrian’s as we engaged in a staring competition. I was the first person to break the staring competition.

“Why were you staring at me?” I asked gazing at him.

“Is there anything bad in staring at you? Are you a celebrity that shouldn’t be stared at?”  He asked back.

“You know what? I shouldn’t have talked in the first place. I should have just acted as if you weren’t here!” I said raising my voice slightly.

“Yeah you should have done just that!” He retorted and we both huffed and turned our backs to each other like kids. I continued with my game when suddenly the elevator stopped moving and the lights went out. The emergency lights came on and I looked around in panic.

“What the fuck just happened?!” I asked no one in particular.

“Seems like the elevator has stopped.” He replied as if it wasn’t obvious.

“I knew it stopped! Why did it stop?!” I asked again.

“How do you expect me to know? It’s not as if I know about elevators.” He snapped. I went to the door and pressed buttons to try and open it but it refused to open.

“Seems like we’re spending the night in the elevator.” Mr. Adrian said nonchalantly. I turned back to stare at him as if he was crazy.

“I can’t spend the night in an elevator, I have to go to the club and my mom would be worried sick if I don’t get home tonight.”  I whined. I thought of what to do and I had an idea. Why didn’t I think of it before?

“Hmm, Mr. Adrian?” I called and he answered with a hum.

“Why don’t you call one of the securities to come and help us? Or you can call an elevator mechanic?” I asked hopefully.

“You think I haven’t thought of that? Don’t you know you can’t make or receive call in an elevator because there’s no signal?”  He said rudely. Wow, I didn’t know that.

“Does that mean we’re gonna spend the night here?”

“Yeah, I told you that before.” He replied. I sighed and slumped down onto the floor. I’m gonna miss my shift at the club tonight and that means some amount of money will be deducted from my salary by the end of the month.

That aside, I’m actually feeling hungry and I don’t have any snack with me.

“I’m starving.” I groaned loudly.

“You’re starving? Didn’t you eat lunch?” Mr. Adrian asked.

“I didn’t get to eat lunch because of the stupid work you gave me to do and even though I ate lunch don’t you think it would have digested by now?” I snapped angrily.

“Hey! It isn’t my fault that you’re hungry so don’t vent your anger on me.” He also snapped and I glared at him as if he was crazy.

“It was exactly your fault and we’re not gonna argue about this because I don’t have the strength to exchange words with you.” I said in finality. He opened his mouth to talk but as if he decided against talking, he closed  his mouth back.  Silence befell us but my stomach decided to break it by grumbling loudly. I blushed in embarrassment when Mr. Adrian glanced at me and he sighed.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“It seems like I have to give you this.” He said dipping his hand in his pocket.

“What’s that?” I asked curiously and he brought something out of his pocket.

I looked at his hand closely and discovered that he was holding a packet of chocolate biscuits. My eyes lit up in excitement when I saw it; chocolate biscuits are my favorite and it’s been long I ate one. I stood up from my position on the floor and went to meet him at the other side of the elevator where he was also sitting. I collected the biscuit from him and tore the wrap. I began wolfing down the biscuit, I was almost done with it when I realized that I haven’t asked Mr. Adrian if he’d like to eat.

“Would you like some?” I asked him and he shook his head.

“Nah, I have another one with me.” He said bringing out another pack of biscuit.

“I can see that you love chocolate biscuits.” He said as he began to eat his own.

“Yeah, they’re my favorite.”  I gushed.

“They’re mine too.” He said.

“Wow! We actually have one thing in common.” I laughed.

“That’s surprising, who would have thought we had something in common since we spend almost all our time arguing since we met each other.” I wondered and he laughed out loud. I think this is the first time I saw him laughing genuinely.

‘His face looks more hot when he’s laughing.’ The inner slut in me whispered and I smacked my head.

‘Don’t think of him like that bitch, he’s a douchebag!’ I snapped at her and she kept her mouth shut.

“Are you talking to yourself?” He asked in confusion. I didn’t know I was talking out loud.

“No I wasn’t.” I replied quickly.

“If you say so.” He said.

“Uhm, you’ve got something on your face.” He said gazing at my face and I brought my hand up to my face to wipe the thing off.

“Is this it?” I asked wiping a side of my face and he said no. I continued trying to get the thing off my face but I seem not to be able to get it off.

“Let me help you with it.” He said bringing his face closer to mine.

“Uhm, what are you doing?” I asked as he brought his face closer and closer to mine.

“I wanna help you wipe something off your face.” He said huskily and his lips landed on mine at that moment.
