Chapter 7 The CEO"S Business Trip With His Secretary

• The chauffeur pulled the back seat open and Rapheal sank into it with speed.
• Scarlett who was already seated adusted her butt in distress.
• She had been excited yet nervous about the trip they were headed to.
• "Good day sir."
• She said, bowing her head in reverence as soon as Raphael got into the car.
• Her excitedness on the fact that she was going to have all the opportunity to seduce him.
• But her heart hadnt stopped skipping since the day begun.
• Aside the fact that her boss was dangerously hot, she couldn't explain what eles was making her that nervous.
• Rapheal took a quick glance at her, and took his face away immediately.
• He couldn't explain what was happening and why he was overtly excited about going on a business trip with the lady before him.
• Clearing his throat and attempting to loosen up the tension, he said " we'll first check in at the Sallys hotel before going for the meeting by 3pm."
• "I'll take note of that sir."
• Scarlett replied nodding emphatically at the same time.
• The chauffeur has ignited the engine and with each ride comes the increase in tension build.
• Finally after he pulled up at the airport, the two got down and quickly Rapheal covered his face with a face cap.
• He pulled Scarlett by the arm and began to walk towards the check in.
• "Is there a problem sir?"
• "I dont think its still safe walking side by side with a lady so we need to walk fast."
• He declared, not even turning to face her.
• "Come with me."
• In an instant, Rahpeal and Scarlett checked in at the airport, and was on their way to board a flight.
• "Dont you think a public display of affection will sell better?"
• Damian's voice landed like a loud volt on Scarlett's ears.
• She was wearing an ear device through which he communicated to her.
• The voice had startled her greatly and she held her ears immediately as if it would ward off the voice.
• "What happens to alerting me before you speak?"
• She howled lightly, but Damian scowled.
• "Pull over and kiss him Scarlett, do it now, you have just two minutes. "
• "That wasn't ths plan, Damian, dont even start now!"
• She howled, just then her eyes and that of Rapheal crossed and she faked the hugest smile ever.
• "Are you okay?" He asked in all sincerity, still trying to battle the excitement that was still brewing in him.
• "Y-yes sir, I am."
• She starmmed. The two were already on their way to board the plane, and her awkwardness was beginning to give her out.
• Rapheal could point it out already also adding to the fact that she behaved like someone that had known him for a long time.
• "Are you sure you're okay, Miss Johnson?"
• He asked calmly, his sweet baritone voice carressing all the corners of her mind.
• "I'm fine sir."
• "Do it now!"
• Damian howled again.
• When Scarlett didn't reply him, he howled out again and again, hoping to convince her, but she had gone mute, her legs pressing against the hard floor of the plane stairs as she walked behind Rapheal.
• "Turn you back, Scarlett. Turn your back and see!"
• Damian howled in a strong convincing tone.
• She turned quickly only to meet a man standing at a distance from the airplane.
• "Jack?"
• She howled.
• It was jack and he was holding a camera.
• "You brought Jack here? For what?"
• "Because I want him to take the damn pictures you dumb girl! Why would you always question my orders?"
• "I'm simply following the plan!"
• Her voice created more suspicion and immediately, it triggered an instint in Rapheal as he felt unsave and began to look around. This was something he did each time he felt Fanny might have sent someone to follow him around again.
• "Get inside."
• He thundered as soon as he sighted Jack.
• He had lifted the camera to take more shots, but Raphael pulled Scarlett inside the plane immediately, causing her to fall on him.
• "Arghh!"
• She exclaimed.
• It was a smooth fall from where she was standing to the arms of her boss.
• Their bodies pressing against each other and the sweet smell from their bodies entrapped them and they were lost for a moment.
• Rapheal has never felt that way for a woman all his life and Scarlett for a moment forgot that she was supposed to be getting a revenge on him.
• The sweet smell of the cologne filled her nose and the masculine aura threw her off guard.
• "Urhhhg--are you hurt?"
• Raphael asked hastily as soon as he got hold of his surrounding.
• "Y-yes sir."
• Scarlett sounded, nodding emphatically.
• "I,-I'm sorry-"
• "I was the one that pulled you wasnt I?"
• Raphael questioned calmly, shutting her up.
• "I'm sorry I pulled you."
• He continued, watching Scarlett struggle to lift herself.
• He enjoyed every bit of the move she made on him. It felt strange, but he couldn't help it.
• This time two of the attendants had helped Scarlett get up from him and the door had been shut.
• "Are you okay sir?"
• One of the attendants had asked, offering hands for Rapheal to get up,
• "Yes I am."
• He lifted his body off immediately and still searching for Scarlett's eyes, he noticed she was now completely avoiding his gaze.
• The emotions had gotten tenser, leaving him question why.
• "Are you still mad at me?"
• "For what?"
• Scarlett protested as she leaned over her seat.
• The flight had taken off and it would take the next three hours before they touched down at san Jose.
• "You've been avoiding my gaze, haven't you?"
• "I haven't, I was just thrown off by-"
• "By the pull?"
• "Yes, by the pull."
• She stretched her hands to get a napkin but Rapheal's hands reached for it before her.
• His palms caressed hers, and she felt an electricity had been released into her body.
• Now she wondered if she was the one sent to seduce this man or it was the other way round.
• "Have it."
• Rapheal stated, calmly.
• He was already behaving against what he believed in.
• He had watched her ever since she checked in his office as her secretary.
• He had tried to avoid her, but the few occasions of her falling on him had gotten matters worse.
• "What do you mean when you said you're not safe walking side by side with a lady?"
• Scarlett asked pretentiously.
• But Raphael gave a faint smile, "are you going to pretend you didn't overhead my conversation with my lawyer?"
• His words had cut Scarlett in an alarm, she hadn't expected him to throw her pretense on her face like that.
• Trying to maintain her fake ignorance she arched her brows, pretending she hadn't made an underground study about Elly and the question she was about to ask.
• "Your lawyer?"
• "Elly."
• Raphael countered immediately and smiled lightly.
• "Oh Elly."
• Scarlett nodded and now for the first time she was going to ask a question for a genuine concern.
• She could see and feel that Raphael was genuinely scared of this his so called ex wife, and mingling with him had potential of putting her own life at risk.
• "Tell me about your ex wife."
• Rapheal turned to face her immediately, he wasn't expecting her to ask him again after he said he wasn't going to share.
• It was the darkest moments of his life and talking about it leaves him in so much vulnerability.
• "You really want to know about the woman that made me loose mind?"
• Raphael asked lightly, leaving Scarlett's eyes widened in anticipation.
• "What does he mean by loosing your mind?" She queried.
