Chapter 11: Eleven.
Jake's POV
"So you mean, you decided to cancel a meeting, and go do a task your PA could have done?" Hendery's raised brow made me wonder if it doesn't hurt him. "And you don't mean anything by it?! Man you fucking took her to your parent's home by yourself." Hendery was once again reading too many meanings to what I did.
"I just felt having my PA take her there would make it seem like I was dismissing her. We did..." I did take her first time. I hadn't told Hendery that detail about Zandia, for some reason, I wanted that to be private.
"Oh yes, you both did. And man, am I happy? Don't get me wrong okay, I would be the happiest if you continued doing it with her. Dammit man, I have been trying to get you into letting yourself go, and not until her, I never succeeded. Whether this is destiny playing a trick, or your lust and hers are so intense that you two keep crossing paths, make the most of it. You could draw up a contract so it doesn't get complicated, at least we know she is not in any committed relationship, so..." He shrugged as he put ideas in my head.
'Why am I even considering this?' I wondered.
"How did the meeting go?" I knew there was no way I could reschedule my meeting with the Chens. They will be flying out tomorrow so I had asked Hendery to go in my stead.
"Perfect. The initial groundwork had already been laid successfully so all we did was eat some good food, and sign the contract. They were a bit saddened by your absence but I promised them you would visit them whenever you visit Shanghai." I nodded.
The Chens have been one of our oldest partners, we have come to develop some good relationships with them even outside of business.
"If that's all, you can get out now." Knowing him, he is going to continue with the Zandia talk and I truly wasn't ready for more ideas to be inputted into my head about her. It is already confusing enough.
"If you want, I could shift your PA's office farther away. I mean if Zandia is a screamer that is." I looked up glaring. Whether she is a screamer or not, her screams wouldn't have been able to escape through this door.
"Get out." I told him again as I tried to ignore him by typing away on my laptop.
"Admit it man, you want her. If you didn't, you would have denied it already. Go after her dude. She is a beauty, and she definitely must be good behind the doors if you are still craving for her. Get your fill." He added as I finally looked up at him.
"Get out before I make you." I threatened while standing from my seat. Hendery was quick to get up as he moved away from the desk.
His palm facing me as he signaled I stopped, "You don't have to always resort to such violence. But do think about it, and if you do decide to go for her, I will definitely be ready to step in and help you with work just like I did today." He grinned.
Striding towards him, he ran out of the office, his laugh reverberating around the hallway as I closed the door he left open.
'I want her.' I couldn't deny that I had the urge to push her against the walls earlier, the way she had been concentrated on her work, as she sketched some things on her pad, and took pictures, her brows wrinkling together as she probably thought of what to come up with, she had looked so tempting in that skirt of hers, and all I wanted was to have my wicked ways with her.
I wanted to take her against the walls, and maybe on the sofa. To hear her melodious moan fill the empty house. Being around her awakened a side of me I had thought dead along with my Stella.
'Is this just lust or...'
Oh hell no! I am never going down that path again.
Picking the office phone, I called my PA in.
"Sir." She says as she waited to hear my orders.
"Get Davis to work with Miss Chester from now on. He reports every detail to me and do send his contact to her." I need to stay away, I cannot let myself get into something I wouldn't be able to handle.
"Yes sir." As she moved to leave, I stopped her.
"Instead of Davis, get Mrs..." No ladies tend to get into conflict a lot with one another. "...Get Mr. Sanders to work with her instead." Sanders is a married man but Davis wasn't. I am not going to be an instrument to them starting a relationship together.
I am at least going to trust Sanders to have some respect for his wife, and his vows, and not go after the lady.
"Ok sir." I nodded dismissing her.
"This is for the best." I murmured assuring myself that what I had done was the best way to stop myself from getting too attached to her, from hurting her.
'Would she feel offended?' The thought of her getting offended crossed my mind but I dismissed it. Why should I care for her feelings?!
